Chapter 7: Su Ying'er Borrows Money
"Teacher, I'm not making excuses, my grandmother is really sick!" The distrust of the head teacher made Su Ying'er very disheartened. She didn't expect her honest explanation to become an excuse in the teacher's mouth. Was it because the teacher didn't trust her words? Or was it because she didn't have a wealthy and powerful family backing?!
"Su Ying'er, that's enough!" Su Ying'er's retort made the class teacher lose face, her expression becoming increasingly unpleasant. "Don't make any more excuses for yourself, otherwise, I'll punish you to sweep the classroom for another week!"
When she finished, the head teacher turned around with a bad temper and returned to the podium. She looked at Su Ying'er below the stage severely and emphasized again: "I hope all students can strictly follow the rules. No matter what reason or excuse you have, if you violate the rules, you will be punished!"
The class teacher's words were like a knife stabbing into Su Ying'er's chest, the piercing pain made her exceptionally clear-headed at this moment, constantly reminding her that she was not possible to get respect in Shengyu Academy, nor could she get the teacher's liking, just because she was born humble, just because she didn't have a rich and powerful family, she had to endure all of this.
This is the difference between her and Lu Yifan, Gong Qiniu. Even if they are late or leave early, or even skip class, the teacher won't say anything, but she can't, even if she just dozes off for a bit, she has to accept punishment!
She blinked her eyes, and Su Ying'er forcibly controlled the tears that were about to fall, because she knew she couldn't cry, she didn't have the right to cry, she had to be strong. Wasn't it just cleaning the classroom for a week? What's the big deal?!
As soon as the self-study class was over, the teacher had just left the classroom, and Guo Min hurried to Su Ying'er's face, saying very guiltily: "Sorry, Ying'er, it's all my fault, I didn't wake you up in time!"
"Mind your own business!" Despite feeling sad in her heart, Su Ying'er appeared extremely calm on the surface. She smiled indifferently and said, "Even if you woke me up this time, it's not like there won't be a next time. So, what does this have to do with you? Why are you apologizing to me?"
"But, but..." Guo Min still felt uneasy and could only try to make it up to her, "Ying'er, how about this? After school, I'll stay behind with you to clean the classroom together?"
"Guo Min, thank you for your kindness. If you really want to help me, can you lend me 10,000 yuan first?" Su Ying'er's voice gradually lowered, and her face slowly turned ugly. She had come to borrow money from Guo Min because she couldn't find anyone else more suitable to borrow from. She must return the 10,000 yuan to Lu Yifan; she couldn't owe Lu Yifan any more favors!
"Ying'er, what's wrong?" Guo Min heard that Su Ying'er wanted to borrow money and readily agreed, but seeing Su Ying'er's gloomy face, she asked with concern: "But, Ying'er, what exactly happened? Can you tell me?"
"No, it's nothing!" Not wanting to let her good sister Minmin worry and be sad for herself, Su Ying'er forced out a smile and changed the subject: "Minmin, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible!"
"No rush!" Guo Min laughed very generously, "We are the best of friends, and I trust you. You've never asked me for money before, so if you're borrowing now, it must be for a good reason. I'll go get the money after school, okay?"
