Chapter 622: Chapter 622: College Entrance Exam Top Scorer (9)_1

"Miss Shu is so nice, I was just getting hungry."

"Exactly, Miss Shu is too polite."

"..."

As soon as the students saw Shu Jiao, they immediately became reserved, feeling an innate reverence for her, even though they had already graduated.

"Everyone eat, don’t starve yourselves." Some students hadn’t taken any, so Shu Jiao personally carried it over to them.

When it was Huang Xiaoxiao’s turn, standing, her smile deepened, and in the presence of that smile, Huang Xiaoxiao’s face turned deathly pale.

She had completely forgotten that Ruan Hao was Shu Jiao’s son, and so Ruan Jiaojiao was her daughter.

Once all the students had taken some pastries, Shu Jiao set the plate down but didn’t hurry away. Instead, under the nervous gaze of everyone, she softly asked, "Did something happen just now? Did my daughter fail to be hospitable in any way?"

"No, no, Jiaojiao has been so well-behaved."

"Yes, yes, there’s nothing like that, teacher. Jiaojiao has been especially nice, she even brought us candy and watermelon."

"..."

Shu Jiao’s voice was soft and gentle. Even though her questions were very ordinary, they almost made all the students’ hearts jump, not to mention Huang Xiaoxiao and Wu Juan.

Huang Xiaoxiao’s face was so white it lacked any color, and Wu Juan was also anxious to the point her eyes became red.

At last, Shu Jiao’s gaze fell on Huang Xiaoxiao. "Huang Xiaoxiao, did my daughter do something wrong? Tell me, and if it’s her fault, I’ll have a good talk with her."

Huang Xiaoxiao trembled all over, took a glance at Ruan Jiaojiao, and relayed the gist of what had just happened, cleverly glossing over anything unfavorable about herself, focusing mainly on the part where Ruan Jiaojiao accused her of being a busybody.

After hearing this, Shu Jiao was silent for a few seconds.

Everyone was watching her, wondering if she would take her daughter’s side or the student’s.

However, most guessed it would be the latter, since Shu Jiao had a high reputation at the school. They believed she wouldn’t be the type to coddle her child unreasonably, but rather someone with a tactful and understanding disposition, who would downplay the issue even if her own child was right, for the sake of other people’s feelings.

They all thought Ruan Jiaojiao was probably in for a reprimand, and some felt sorry for her.

But Ruan Jiaojiao, the one thought to be in line for a reprimand, didn’t feel sorry for herself at all. She was nibbling on a piece of mung bean cake, while Ruan Hao held his hand under her chin to catch any crumbs.

In the whole living room, everyone hardly dared to breathe out loud; only she continued eating.

Then, they heard Shu Jiao suddenly ask, "Ruan Hao, did you tell anyone that you were giving this bracelet to Wu Juan?"

"No," Ruan Hao shook his head indifferently.

Shu Jiao nodded and turned her gaze to the visibly nervous Wu Juan, "Wu Juan, did you tell anyone that this bracelet was intended for you by Ruan Hao?"

"No, no, I didn’t say that." Wu Juan immediately shook her head vigorously.

She had just been guessing at first, but had never come to a definite conclusion, nor had she told anyone. Even when she spoke to Huang Xiaoxiao, it was merely to speculate together about who it might be for; she had never definitively said the bracelet was meant for her.

But somehow, the class suddenly started rumoring that the bracelet was for her, and everyone teased her... to the point where she too actually believed the bracelet was meant for her.
