Chapter 113: Go and Stand Outside
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wu Tong pursed her lips and said, "It’s not like I’m asking you to do anything. It’s just a simple matter. Don’t tell me you’re unwilling to help me with such a small matter?"
"Mom," Ji Mo lowered his head and suddenly said, "I’m not happy studying in this school. I want to transfer schools."
"Transfer schools? Did someone instigate you to do that?" Wu Tong suddenly stood up and scolded, "Do you want to go to that prestige private school? Who instigated you? Is it your sister-in-law?"
"No," Ji Mo pursed his lips. "No one instigated me, and I don’t want to go to a prestige private school. I want to change an environment, I..."

Wu Tong stomped her feet in anger and cursed a few times with a ferocious expression. Her irritable appearance attracted the attention of the security guards at the entrance. She paused and cursed a few more times before turning around to leave.
In Grade 12 Class 1, the classroom was silent. Every student sat upright and obediently in their seats. They held their breaths and stared at their books attentively, afraid that they would make a sound. Their form teacher was a middle-aged woman wearing black-rimmed glasses. She had a bloated figure and sparse hair. The wrinkles on her face made her look even more stern and conservative.
She held the ruler in her hand and stared sternly at Ji Mo, who had just arrived and was standing at the door. She shouted, "Ji Mo!"
