Chapter 221 The Startling Results

• "Why haven't they made the results public yet?" A pupil asked anxiously. "Is it possible that the grades were too low and challenging to grade?" Someone else conjectured. Someone teasingly said, "How absurd was it for her to ask you to kneel and apologize earlier?" Another said, "Country people love to brag, and now she's even brought her smelly grandmother along."

Everyone was left wondering what she meant when she said those words, and there was a tense stillness thereafter. Did she imply that her prior poor grades were the result of her being lazy?
