3272 Leng Xiaoyao Is Very Confident
Because the agreement between the Chu family’s company and the Chengtian Corporation was terminated, Chu Zhaofeng’s business partners all blamed him for messing up a sure thing. It was impossible for them not to be mad.
When Leng Yecheng heard the news in the afternoon, he immediately thought of Leng Xiaoyao. Could it have something to do with her? At the Mo family’s party, he saw Leng Xiaoyao staying with Ling Tianqi, the Ling family’s heir.
However, he wasn’t sure so he asked Leng Xiaoyao about it when she got home at night. “Yaoyao, the Ling family just robbed the Chu family of a project. Does it have something to do with you?”
Leng Xiaoyao was struck dumb for a second. She thought that it might be a coincidence, but she realized that it could also be Ling Tianqi’s idea to pay Chu Jianan back for her.
“I don’t know,” Leng Xiaoyao said. Although she guessed that it might have been done by Ling Tianqi for her, she didn’t call him to ask.
If that wasn’t his idea, she would be embarrassed.
If it was, since Ling Tianqi didn’t tell her, he must want to do her a favor in private. In that case, there was no need for her to ask about it.
Since she said that, Leng Yecheng didn’t ask further. Anyway, the Chu family suffered a loss this time.
On Wednesday, the Liberal Arts Defense of high school students was held in City Chang. Early in the morning, Leng Xiaoyao followed their teacher to No.1 High school for the competition.
There were ten high schools in City Chang and each school had a quota of three students. Leng Xiaoyao, Gao Qilu, and a male student, Qin Siyuan, was representing their school.
Gao Qilu was aware that Leng Xiaoyao was one of the three students early on, while Leng Xiaoyao didn’t know who the other students were until today.
Gao Qilu had tried to attack Leng Xiaoyao to make her unable to take part in the competition. Unfortunately, Leng Xiaoyao took her family’s car to go to school and back home. There was no chance for them to act, which made Gao Qilu angry.
Therefore, when Gao Qilu saw Leng Xiaoyao, she looked cold. Nevertheless, Leng Xiaoyao didn’t bother to pay any attention to her.
Leng Xiaoyao didn’t know that the champion of today’s competition could participate in the National Liberal Arts Defense in the capital city until that moment. In addition, the top 3 of the National Liberal Arts Defense would directly be accepted by the Capital University.
Leng Xiaoyao didn’t care about being accepted by the Capital University, but she would do her best since she was taking part in the competition.
Their teacher was Mr. Chen. Because Leng Xiaoyao had the highest score among the three students, Mr. Chen paid more attention to her. On their way, he asked, “Xiaoyao, are you nervous?”
Leng Xiaoyao smiled and said, “Not at all.”
“Great! I’m glad to hear that. I have confidence in you,” Mr. Chen said.
He only said that to Leng Xiaoyao, so Gao Qilu and Qin Siyuan were displeased and jealous of Leng Xiaoyao.
Gao Qilu joked half seriously. “Mr. Chen, do you have a bias toward Leng Xiaoyao? You only asked about her feelings. Don’t you care about me and Qin Siyuan?”
“Oh, you’re right. It’s my fault. So, are you two nervous?” Mr. Chen asked embarrassedly.
“Ha-ha, Mr. Chen, I’m joking. We’re not nervous. After all, this isn’t our first time.” Gao Qilu laughed.
“Right, this isn’t your first time, so you’re surely not nervous,” Mr. Chen said with a smile. He believed in them, he simply had more confidence in Leng Xiaoyao.
Anyway, the situation became different in an instant. Mr. Chen only asked Leng Xiaoyao because this was the first time that she had participated in the competition.
It was Gao Qilu’s thought and the impression she tried to leave on Leng Xiaoyao. However, she couldn’t change Mr. Chen’s real thoughts with a simple conversation.
Leng Xiaoyao understood Gao Qilu’s implication, but felt that it was childish, so she didn’t care.
“Leng Xiaoyao, Qin Siyuan and I have taken part in competitions like this many times before. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask us. We’ll tell you as long as we know the answer,” Gao Qilu said meaningfully. She sounded kind, but was actually just showing off and making fun of Leng Xiaoyao.
Leng Xiaoyao was better than her at studying and was prettier than her, but the Leng family wasn’t comparable to the Gao family. Therefore, Gao Qilu was jealous of Leng Xiaoyao, but also disdained her.
Even if Leng Xiaoyao was better than her at studying, this was the first time that Leng Xiaoyao had ever participated in a competition like this. It was hard for her not to be nervous. Once she got nervous, she wouldn’t be able to do her best. In that case, she wouldn’t get a good result.
“It’s not a big deal. I don’t need to be nervous just for that,” Leng Xiaoyao replied airily, being slightly arrogant.
A competition like this?
She had enough competitions like this in her previous incarnation and had won countless prizes. Leng Xiaoran and she were always the top 2.
Upon thinking of Leng Xiaoran, Leng Xiaoyao became upset. She really missed Leng Xiaoran, her parents, her grandma, her great-grandfather, and Master Shangguan.
She missed her friends too.
Li Mochen was already very powerful. After two years, he should be able to defeat his enemies. By then, Li Mochen would be fine and she might disappear in this time space.
Thinking that she would disappear in two years, Leng Xiaoyao felt somewhat irritated.
No one noticed the change in Leng Xiaoyao’s mood. Actually, when they heard her reply, they were a little unhappy, including Mr. Chen.
He wondered whether he had too high of an expectation for Leng Xiaoyao. Given her attitude, she was too arrogant.
He appreciated confident students, but disliked arrogant ones. Confidence was a good thing, but it would become arrogance if there was too much of it. Leng Xiaoyao’s attitude made him think that she was arrogant.
“Leng Xiaoyao, you look very confident. Are you going to win the championship?” Gao Qilu smiled. She deliberately complimented Leng Xiaoyao.
If Leng Xiaoyao dared to say yes, she would tell everyone about it. Then, if Leng Xiaoyao failed to win the championship, she would be extremely embarrassed.
Even if Leng Xiaoyao said no, Gao Qilu would still spread the news. She simply didn’t think that Leng Xiaoyao would be the champion. By then, Leng Xiaoyao would still be embarrassed.
Leng Xiaoyao saw through Gao Qilu, so she said mockingly, “Gao Qilu, that’s going too far. I simply said that I’m not nervous. It has nothing to do with the championship. Why would you connect them?”
Gao Qilu was embarrassed. “Aren’t you too confident and that’s why you don’t feel nervous?”
