Chapter 121: Even a fool knows that such things should be kept low-key!

As soon as Gong Ran snapped out of her daze, she hurriedly asked Lingling, "Where did this Ye Luo suddenly come from? Do we even have a student by that name at our school? I’ve never heard of her before. I don’t think anyone named Ye Luo has ever ranked in the top hundred either. How did she suddenly manage to take first place this time?"

Lingling immediately responded, “Not just suddenly—she scored full marks in every subject! The total is 750 points, and she got all 750! Even Shen Jing scored 13 points less than her! I really don’t know how she did it; it’s incredible!”

Gong Ran felt a mix of envy and jealousy, growing even more anxious. “Where on earth did she come from?!”

She had actually fallen to third place!

Only then did Lingling say, “She’s from Class 19. You mean that He Luo from Class 19, right? Didn’t she get 130 points last time and they even put up a banner for her? Now she’s ranked first in the entire grade. They might even have a big celebration.”

“Wait…” Gong Ran’s mind was spinning, confused. “Isn’t her name Ye Luo? Why bring up He Luo?”

“They’re the same person! I didn’t know at first either. I only found out when I was looking at the results just now and overheard someone say that He Luo officially changed her surname to Ye last week to match her mother’s. The school records were updated naturally, so now she’s called Ye Luo.”

Hearing this, Gong Ran almost bit through her back teeth.

So she was Ye Luo all along!

“She was such a poor student, her grades were terrible. How could she possibly get first place? And full marks at that? It’s obvious she cheated!” Gong Ran’s voice was loud and accusatory.

This drew the attention of those near the announcement board, all turning to look her way.

Seeing this, Gong Ran snapped at them, “What are you looking at? It’s obvious! Last time she got 130 points, didn’t you all know that? Are you all brainless? You see this person scored 750 and you don’t think she cheated? No wonder you always get such low scores!”

Having finished scolding, she ignored their expressions and hurried after Ye Luo.

Ye Luo was almost at the teaching building where Gong Ran’s classroom was. Just as she stepped onto the stairs, Gong Ran grabbed her again.

Gritting her teeth, Gong Ran snapped, “So it’s you, Ye Luo. Last time I asked, you even said you didn’t know anything!”

Ye Luo was speechless. When had she ever said that?

“Just wait,” Gong Ran hissed through clenched teeth, furious, “I’m going to deal with your cheating first, then I’ll tell my mom that you’re Ye Luo!”

Ye Luo had already expected someone to accuse her of cheating, so Gong Ran’s words didn’t surprise her at all.

“He—no, Ye Luo,” Gong Ran couldn’t help but continue, “you’re really bold, cheating on your first monthly exam? And full marks in every subject? Are you afraid no one would know you cheated, making it so obvious?! Even an idiot knows to keep it low-key!”

“Just you wait. The school leaders take this exam seriously. You’ll see how they expel you! I’m heading to the principal’s office right now to report you!”

With that, Gong Ran stormed off to find the principal.

Ye Luo remained unfazed.

She continued up the stairs, entered the teaching building, and went to her classroom.

Arriving at Class 19, she found it empty—she was the first to arrive again today.

Seeing the blackboard hadn’t been wiped clean, she took a cloth and erased it before sitting down at her desk.

...

As soon as Gong Ran reached the principal’s office, she reported indignantly to Principal Chen, accusing Ye Luo of cheating and insisting she didn’t earn first place through real ability.

After Gong Ran left, Principal Chen closed his office door and called Gong Lü.

One was the woman their husband liked; the other was their husband’s sister. It was best to let their husband decide how to handle this matter.
