Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Can You Perform Racing at the Ball? Is Mrs. Qin Going to Butter Up Qin Xin?

Yu Xiaochun stood at the podium, speaking earnestly, very much in the manner of a student leader.

But she suddenly realized that no one in the class was paying attention to her.

Everyone seemed to be immersed in something else, exchanging a kind of unspeakable excitement through their eyes.

The point was, they seemed to have completely excluded her.

Now that class monitor Yao Dazhuang was gone, she had the most authority among the class officers, but it seemed no one cared about her and only surrounded the ugly one.

Her eyes fell on what everyone was holding, a photo with Zhou Yu’s autograph.

She felt even more frustrated.

Qin Wenrou had promised yesterday to get an autograph from a racer in Super Asia, from a foreign racer no less, but hadn’t managed to get it.

Yet every person in Class 2 had a photo with Rain God’s autograph, except for her!

Yu Xiaochun glanced with a mix of suffocation and jealousy, thinking to herself, so what if they can race, that’s all stuff outside of school.

The ugly one’s grades are poor, and they have no talents.

They can neither sing, dance, nor play piano.

Could they perform racing at the New Year’s gala? Ha!

What good is showing off outside? Back on campus, they’re just a loser, right?

Thinking this, Yu Xiaochun felt a lot more balanced inside.

She stepped down from the podium and walked into the hallway to call Qin Wenrou: ”Wenrou, why didn’t you come to class today? The official notice for the school’s New Year gala is out, and your piano performance is the finale!”

While reporting back, she also vented her frustrations: ”It’s miserable for those of us in Class 2, those idiots can’t even put together a single act, looks like I’ll have to go sing again... Wenrou? Wenrou, are you listening?”

On the other end, Qin Wenrou just awoke from a hangover, having escaped from the hospital and back home, still shaken.

Hearing that her piano piece was selected as the finale for the school’s New Year gala finally brought her a bit of relief: ”I’m listening. Xiaochun, I’m not feeling well, could you help me call in sick? I’ll attend the exams, but I’m skipping classes.”

Yu Xiaochun: ”Okay, no worries, Wenrou. You’re so good at academics, you don’t need to review. Remember to join the gala, it’s the night after the last exam.”

Qin Wenrou: ”Sure, sure.”

She had just hung up the call, turned around, and saw Mrs. Qin sitting on the living room sofa, looking weary and as if she hadn’t slept all night waiting for her.

Feeling guilty, Qin Wenrou called out: ”Mom.”

Mrs. Qin held a photo in her hand.

It was delivered by courier first thing in the morning, and she nearly fainted upon seeing it.

Her beloved second daughter, caught in a shameful scene with a foreigner in public.

Wenrou was supposed to be a pure and innocent girl.

If this photo gets out, how will she face anyone?

What was the sender’s intention?

Were they trying to threaten them?

She looked at Qin Wenrou with complex emotions, heartache, sadness, and a thick layer of anxiety and worry.

”Mom, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head upstairs. Last night... the school event ran late, so I stayed over at Xiaochun’s. You can call her to verify if you don’t believe me.”

Qin Wenrou lied without changing her expression, and proceeded to head upstairs.

Mrs. Qin was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly called out: ”Stop right there!”

Qin Wenrou was startled.

Could it be... her mother had discovered what happened last night?

And now that Qin Xin was back, married to the wealthy and powerful Mr. Nalan, the family’s spotlight was going to be taken away by Qin Xin again.

Was her mother going to cozy up to Qin Xin and ignore her?

She was just thinking this when.

Mrs. Qin hurriedly caught up from behind.

Suddenly embraced her, her voice choked as she said—
