Chapter 133: I Don’t Know Her Well, So This Has Nothing To Do With Me
[How could she have stood first in the National Quiz Contest if she failed her language paper? Mind boggling!]
[Was it because she was assigned to the last exam hall, and there were no good students for her to copy from? Are these her true grades?]
[Sounds about right. After all, she was the one with the most unusual seat during the exam. It seems the school intentionally arranged it.]
[I was wondering if Huo Yao would rank first in the exams, but judging from these language grades... erm... even if she scored full marks in other subjects, it’s practically impossible.]
[She did so badly even in the language paper. How can you expect her to do well in other subjects? I think it’s a lost cause.]
Almost all the senior classes were talking about this. Even Huo Yao’s classmates were discussing the same thing. Of course, Huo Yao was in the chat group, but she had blocked it right in the beginning, so she did not see any of it.
Even if she had seen it, she would not take it to heart.
In the afternoon, post school, Huo Yao wanted to go shopping at the medicine market. It was the same one which her father had told her about, in the morning.
Shortly after she went out of the school gate, a few people suddenly darted over and blocked her path.
“You scaredy-cat, I finally caught you! How dare you not reply to my messages last night.”
Standing in the lead was the cocky Lu Ziming, with a raised chin. He was leveling a sly look at Huo Yao at this moment.
Three tall and skinny youths stood by his side, wearing the same expression on their faces.
Coldness emanated from Huo Yao’s face when her gaze landed on Lu Ziming.
Lu Ziming could not help feeling creeped out by the look in Huo Yao’s eyes, but he quickly looked away in annoyance. Why should he be afraid of this scaredy-cat since he was not alone today?
Lu Ziming chuckled coldly and deliberately clenched his fists. Popping his joints, he said, “I...”
Before he could say any further, Huo Yao interrupted him and said, “Leave, before I get angry.”
Her voice was impatient and cold.
The guys standing around Lu Ziming stepped forward aggressively in an instant.
“How dare you tell us to leave?”
“I don’t hit girls, or else I would’ve beaten you to a pulp just for displaying this attitude of yours!”
“You better watch your words!”
Lu Ziming frowned when he saw his classmates’ reactions. However, he did not stop them. He crossed his arms and looked on gloatingly.

Lu Xia spotted Huo Yao from afar, getting accosted by a few boys when she left the campus. Her vision was partially blocked and she did not manage to see her brother right away.
Chang Yingying was with Lu Xia and had spotted Huo Yao as well. She raised her brow and smirked. “Xiaxia, is someone creating trouble for your foster sister?”
Lu Ziming’s friends looked like ruffians and were problematic teenagers.
Lu Xia replied with an indifferent look on her face. “I don’t know her well, so this has nothing to do with me.”
“Tsk tsk. Huo Yao only just moved back. How did she end up offending kids from other schools? This must be some kind of retribution, right?” scoffed Chang Yingying.
Lu Xia pursed her lips and looked away. She said in a freezing tone, “Mind your own business. Let’s go.”
