Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 9: The Center of Attention

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ms. Ye knew about Song Hua’s situation.

She also knew that Song Hua was jealous of Song Baoyi so she made a fuss about wanting to go to the same international school as Song Baoyi.

The reason Ms. Ye let Song Baoyi go up to solve the question was to make Song Hua back down.

Song Hua had no right to compete with Song Baoyi at all.

Song Baoyi was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, while Song Hua was just a little delinquent who did not know anything.

Isn’t Song Hua just humiliating herself by attending the same school as Song Baoyi?

She had no right to be jealous of Song Baoyi at all.

Song Baoyi straightened her back and walked up extremely confidently.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on her.

She was the center of attention.

She really liked this feeling.

Life was like a television drama and Song Baoyi’s goal was to become the main character because the main character was the most valuable.

Like now.

Walking to the front, Song Baoyi picked up a piece of chalk and solved the questions one by one. Each question took about ten minutes.

The other students couldn’t understand the method that she had used.

“Damn, why can’t I understand what Baoyi wrote?”

“How strange!”

A member of the study committee quickly calculated the answer before saying, “The answer is correct, but we haven’t learned that method of solving the problem.”

Ms. Ye adjusted his glasses and looked at Song Baoyi with a look of surprise.

This was because the method Song Baoyi used to solve the problem was a complex method that would only be taught in university.

As expected of the student she had high hopes for.

After a moment, Song Baoyi put down the chalk and looked at Ms. Ye. She smiled and said, “Ms. Ye, I’ve solved it.”

Ms. Ye nodded in satisfaction. Her eyes were full of smiles as she praised, “Baoyi, you solved it very well.”

“Thank you.”

“You can return to your seat.”

Song Baoyi turned around and walked back to her seat.

Ms. Ye held a long ruler and faced everyone before saying, “Normally, we would be able to solve the problem using some formulas of coordinate geometry. However, Baoyi cleverly used a formula that would only be taught in high mathematics in university so I would like to commend her. Although she has already obtained free admission, she is not arrogant or complacent and she has even rejected the free admission and insisted on taking the university entrance examination! We should all learn from her!”

Song Baoyi was excellent in all aspects.

Just based on the free admission alone.

The school gave two free admissions every year.

All of them were top-tier universities.

The free admission was not something that just anyone could get. Song Baoyi only got it after she had participated in the International Mathematics Olympiad competition and got into the top three.

Everyone thought that Song Baoyi wouldn’t come to school anymore after she got the free admission but she still did.

She was just like everyone else as she insisted on going to school. She did not become arrogant after she had gotten such a great achievement.

When the media asked why she had given up the free admission, she only said, “I don’t think it’s challenging to get a free pass. My goal is even higher than that.”

The reporter asked, “Then how high is it?”

After all, getting a free admission was already out of reach for ordinary people.

Song Baoyi replied, “How about being the top scorer in Cloud City or even the best in the nation?”

How hard was it for someone who had just won the top three of the International Mathematics Olympiad competition to be the best in the nation?

It was as easy as ABC.

People tend to be more ambitious when they were younger.

This interview was trending at that time, allowing Song Baoyi to gain a lot of fans on various social media platforms.

Listening to Ms. Ye’s praise, Song Baoyi raised her chin slightly, feeling an indescribable sense of superiority in her heart.

She was a prodigy, a talented girl.

Even if these idiots in Class Six studied their hardest, they still wouldn’t be able to compare to her.

Ms. Ye continued, “There’s something I want to emphasize, some people here shouldn’t do whatever they want just because they were born into a good family. They should follow the example of Baoyi. Even if she was born into a good family, she still strived to be better. Your parents can only provide for you now, but not for a lifetime. You can use what you are given now to play around but have you ever thought about what you will do when your parents are gone? One must know to prepare for the future!”

Ms. Ye’s words seemed to be directed at the entire class, but in fact, her eyes were looking at Song Hua.

She thought that Song Hua would have some self-awareness and be more or less ashamed.

But who knew that not only did Song Hua not have self-awareness, she did not even seem embarrassed.

“She was simply hopeless.” Ms. Ye thought.

Although Ms. Ye did not like Song Hua, she could only suppress her dislike right now.

She hoped that Song Hua would see the truth as soon as possible that she was not on the same level and drop out of this school.

Song Baoyi saw through Ms. Ye’s thoughts.

After class, Song Baoyi came to the office.

“Ms. Ye.”

Upon seeing that it was Song Baoyi, Ms. Ye immediately smiled and looked up. “Hello, Baoyi.”

Song Baoyi nodded. “Ms. Ye, I have something to say.”

“Go ahead.” Ms. Ye got up and poured a glass of water for Song Baoyi.

Song Baoyi took the water and thanked her, then she said, “Ms. Ye, do you have some misunderstanding about my sister? Actually, my sister has suffered a lot since she was young. You know how difficult it is to live in the countryside so now that she has suddenly returned to the city, she hasn’t fully adapted to it. To be honest, the reason why she wants to go to the same school as me is very simple. She wants to get attention and wants to be like me.”

“But she’s not worlds apart from you!” Ms. Ye said.

Song Baoyi smiled. “But she’s my sister. Although she was adopted by my parents, in my heart, she will always be my sister so I hope that you don’t have any prejudice against her.”

Ms. Ye looked at Song Baoyi and felt a myriad of emotions in her heart.

“Song Baoyi was such a good child and a good sister. It was a pity that such a sensible, obedient, good-looking person with good grades was not her daughter.” She thought.

“Alright, I got it.” She continued, “Baoyi, don’t worry. As a teacher, I will treat everyone equally.”

“Thank you, Ms. Ye.”

Song Baoyi bowed to Ms. Ye before saying, “Then I’ll be leaving first.”

Ms. Ye nodded and looked at Song Baoyi’s retreating figure. Her eyes were filled with admiration.

After Song Baoyi left, Ms. Zhang walked over from the side and praised, “Not only is your class’s top scorer good at her studies, her character is also one of the best.”

The words just now didn’t seem like something a third-year high school student would say.

However, Song Baoyi did it.

Ms. Ye smiled and said, “This is what people often say about having both virtue and talent.”

Ms. Zhang nodded.

Class Six.

Song Hua sat in the last row. She was quiet yet beautiful. Even if she did not do anything, she was like a painting.

A male classmate mustered up the courage to ask her for her Instagram but she looked up and said, “Sorry, I don’t have a phone.”

Hearing this, someone beside her laughed softly.

“What a country bumpkin, she doesn’t even have a phone.”

“She probably doesn’t even know Instagram.”

“A country bumpkin from the countryside…”

“I heard that they don’t even have electricity or water in the countryside. It’s normal that she doesn’t know what Instagram is!”
