Everyone Hates the Substitute Until He’s Reborn

In his previous life, when Ye Chaoran was 16 years old, he was suddenly visited by a rich man who told him he was the young master of the Fang family who lived in a different city.

Little did...

Chapter 44 Lawyer Team

"What?"

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the classmate next to him: "Did I hear correctly just now?"

The others also looked skeptical.

"I seem to have heard someone say that Jiang Xunmo ranked second in the grade?" someone said uncertainly.

"Are you sure he's the second oldest, not the second to last?"

Gu Yao and Lin Bai looked over at the same time.

"I remember that report cards are posted on the bulletin board on each floor. Someone is posting them over there. Why don't we go over and take a look?" someone suggested.

“Go, go, go!”

A group of people immediately walked towards the notice board.

Gu Yao didn't move and stood at the back door of the classroom. Lin Bai originally wanted to go and take a look, but when he saw that Gu Yao didn't go, he stopped.

"It's really funny. I don't know who said this," Lin Bai smiled and climbed onto Gu Yao's shoulder. "Brother Gu, don't you think so?"

Gu Yao did not answer him. He stared at the classroom without blinking.

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, then followed his line of sight and looked over -

The last row of classroom one.

Ye Chaoran was talking to Jiang Xunmo beside him with a smile on his face. I don’t know what he said, but Jiang Xunmo suddenly smiled softly.

Ye Chaoran was so happy that he was laughing so hard that he put his hands on Jiang Xunmo's arms.

Jiang Xunmo lowered his eyes, stared at Ye Chaoran's white and slender fingers for a moment, and gently tapped the back of Ye Chaoran's hand with his other finger.

Feeling the warm touch, Ye Chaoran stopped smiling immediately and withdrew his hand in panic.

Jiang Xunmo raised the corner of his mouth again.

Lin Bai quickly looked at Gu Yao.

Gu Yao stared at the two of them closely, his teeth clenching involuntarily.

Lin Bai sighed in his heart and said comfortingly: "It's okay, Brother Gu, they will see the results soon, and Jiang Xunmo will not be able to laugh later..."

Before he could finish his words, a student from Class 6 ran towards them.

“I see, I see!”

Before he could say anything, he heard another voice saying in disbelief: "Fuck! Am I seeing things? Jiang Xunmo is actually ranked second in the grade?!"

The voice was so loud that it could be heard clearly even in the noisy corridor after class.

Many students in Class 1 also heard the sound and stuck their heads out.

Ye Chaoran also heard it.

Jiang Xunmo said: "Gu Yao is here."

Ye Chaoran turned his head to look outside the classroom and immediately frowned.

He roughly guessed the purpose of Gu Yao and his group's visit, which was definitely not to congratulate Jiang Xunmo.

Ye Chaoran quickly retracted his gaze and said to Jiang Xunmo, "Ignore them."

Jiang Xunmo nodded and said nothing.

A student from Class 6 who was good friends with Lin Bai and Gu Yao also ran up to the two of them. He looked a little unhappy. He glanced at Lin Bai and Gu Yao's faces before lowering his voice and saying, "Jiang Xunmo... did rank second in the grade."

Gu Yao and Lin Bai's expressions changed at the same time.

Lin Bai even forgot to lower his voice: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Many students in Class 1 had already seen the two men when they arrived outside the classroom.

The students in Class 1 knew that Jiang Xunmo ranked second in the grade not much earlier than Gu Yaolin Bai and the others. When Zhang Qi saw the report card, he was unable to recover for a long time.

Hearing Lin Bai yelling outside the classroom, Zhang Qi rolled his eyes. He sat by the window and simply opened the window and stuck his head out: "What's impossible? It's written clearly in black and white. The report card was printed by the teachers. How could it be fake?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai glared at Zhang Qi: "What do you know?"

Zhang Qi had long been fed up with Lin Bai and Gu Yao. When Ye Chaoran was pursuing Gu Yao before, this group of people looked down on Ye Chaoran and laughed at him many times in person and behind his back.

At that time, Zhang Qi couldn't say anything because of Ye Chaoran's face. Now that Ye Chaoran has cut off ties with them, they are getting anxious.

It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but he danced in front of others again and again.

Zhang Qi sneered, "How come I didn't know? Not only do I know that Jiang Xunmo ranked second in the grade this time, I also know that Gu Yao fell out of the top ten in the grade this time. Lin Bai, you did even worse, you weren't even in the top fifty in the grade."

Gu Yao's heart skipped a beat and he looked up in disbelief. Zhang Qi didn't look like he was joking.

The student standing next to Gu Yao and Lin Bai also nodded.

Gu Yao's face darkened instantly.

Lin Bai was stunned for several seconds, then suddenly laughed, "So what if I'm not in the top 50? My grades are fair and square, but Jiang Xunmo, does he dare to admit that his grades are also spotless?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Qi frowned.

Lin Bai smiled: "What do you mean? Weren't you just bragging about your good grades? Why don't you understand what I mean now?"

The other students from Class 6 who followed were still immersed in shock, but after hearing Lin Bai's words, they reacted belatedly.

Yes, they are top students after all.

Although the results have ups and downs, they are still within the normal and controllable range.

But how come Jiang Xunmo, an ordinary student who always ranked at the bottom in the usual exams, so soared to the top in this exam?

If the ranking simply rises by one hundred or two hundred places, it can still be considered the result of remedial classes.

But the gap between the last and the second in the grade is not just a little bit, it can even be described as a chasm.

How did Jiang Xunmo go from last in the exam to second in the grade within just one month?

A thought flashed through the minds of many people - cheating.

Zhang Qi also thought of this.

To be honest, he didn't know Jiang Xunmo, but he knew Ye Chaoran!

When the results were announced, Ye Chaoran was the first to say "congratulations" to Jiang Xunmo, which means that Ye Chaoran recognized Jiang Xunmo's results.

Moreover, Jiang Xunmo and Ye Chaoran were deskmates. When Zhang Qi and Ye Chaoran were deskmates before, he didn't have to ask the teacher many questions, because the problem-solving ideas Ye Chaoran gave were almost the same as those given by the teacher.

Instead of suspecting Jiang Xunmo of cheating, Zhang Qi focused more on Ye Chaoran's tutoring for Jiang Xunmo.

"So you have doubts about Jiang Xunmo's grades?" Zhang Qi asked, "That's easy, can't you just go find the head teacher? What do you want to do by coming to our class door?"

Before Lin Bai could open his mouth to refute, he heard a familiar and annoying voice.

"What else can I do? Of course I came here to call me dad in person."

Jiang Xunmo stood up at some point and walked slowly to the door of the classroom. He glanced at the people at the door and said calmly, "Thank you for coming to our class specially. It's really hard for you."

Everyone in Class Six had a grim look on their faces.

Zhang Qi really couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The other people also heard this and laughed out loud.

"I see."

"You even came all the way to our classroom door. You're being too polite."

"Yeah, yeah, you should have said it earlier!"

"Hahahahaha that's great, Jiang Xunmo is already out, just call him."

"It's a good opportunity for us to listen too!"

"The voice must be loud and resonant!"

“Hahahahahahahaha—”

“…”

Regardless of Jiang Xunmo's grades, the students in Class 1 just couldn't stand the slacking behavior of Class 6. They made sarcastic remarks and followed them out of the classroom.

Are you here to look for trouble at the door? Are they a group of people who are afraid of trouble?

Jiang Xunmo is a member of their class, so if they want to bully Jiang Xunmo, don’t blame them for being rude!

There was quite a bit of noise here, and other classes nearby heard the news and gathered around. After a short while, the corridor was completely blocked.

The veins on Lin Bai's forehead were about to pop out. He glared at Jiang Xunmo fiercely: "You copied the second place, how dare you say that?"

"Copied? Do you have evidence?"

"It's funny. You all know how strict our school's invigilators are. How could Jiang Xunmo cheat under the teacher's nose?"

"Don't tell me you can't afford to lose, right?"

Jiang Xunmo also nodded: "If you can't afford to lose, just tell me earlier, and I won't come out to avoid embarrassing you."

The anger in the hearts of the people in Class 6 began to rise.

"Why can't we afford to lose?"

"I didn't say anything like that. I'm a piece of shit."

Originally, many students from Class 6 came together to watch the fun, but now instead of seeing the fun, they have become the fun. Many of them have decided to quit.

"Forget it. I don't want to waste my time talking to you guys."

"I'm leaving first, it's boring!"

"Hey! Now that you're here, why are you leaving?"

Seeing this, Fu Xin stopped the man immediately.

"What do you want to do?" the people from Class 6 asked angrily.

"What to do?" Fu Xin smiled, "Of course I have to admit defeat! Jiang Xunmo's grades are now in front of you, so hurry up and call me dad. I'll let you go after you call me dad!"

The people in Class 6 just thought they were unreasonable: "We didn't say that, why should we shout?"

"Are you ill?"

As they talked, they started to get anxious, and when they were anxious, they couldn't help but push each other.

The students in Class 1 shouted at the top of their lungs: "Someone is being beaten! Someone is being beaten! Someone from Class 6 is beating someone!"

Gu Yao and Lin Bai looked over there in shock, but before they could see clearly, countless fists smashed down on them.

"Beat them!"

"Fuck you! How dare you come to our classroom door to cause trouble! And beat people up! Are you bullying our class?!"

"Damn it, you don't want to live anymore, do you?!"

"beat!"

Lin Bai was so angry that he gritted his teeth. When did they hit anyone?

Damn it, which bastard attacked him from behind?

Gu Yao was relatively calm at first, but as he saw more and more people rushing towards him, his face turned dark and he threw the person next to him to the ground with an over his shoulder.

The boy on the ground wailed in pain, and when he looked closely, he realized that he was not a student from Class 1 at all!

It’s from Class Six!

"Gu Yao beat someone up! And the person he beat up was from Class 6!"

Someone else yelled at the top of his lungs.

Gu Yao's face became even uglier!

The students from Class 6 who were surrounding Gu Yao also looked at him in shock and made way for him one after another.

Jiang Xunmo seized the opportunity and finally took action at this time.

Gu Yao was kicked unexpectedly and fell forward.

"You fucking——" Gu Yao turned around and met Jiang Xunmo's face.

"Will you scream?" Jiang Xunmo asked condescendingly.

Gu Yao could no longer suppress the jealousy in his heart, and he turned over and attacked Jiang Xunmo: "I call you mom——"

Ye Chaoran was ready to help as soon as the fight started, but before he could stand up, Zhang Qi pressed him down on a stool.

"Just sit down and don't join in the fun!" said Zhang Qi.

Just when Jiang Xunmo went out, he gave him a test look.

Zhang Qi understood what he meant instantly and went straight back to the classroom to calm Ye Chaoran down.

"Just leave this matter to them. Our class doesn't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble!" Zhang Qi comforted.

Ye Chaoran was helpless: "But you are here now-"

Zhang Qi comforted: "It's okay, the law does not punish everyone. Even if the teacher comes later, it is their class six who made the mistake first!"

Having said that, Ye Chaoran still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

He looked out the window anxiously, and Jiang Xunmo's figure stood out among the crowd.

He just grabbed Gu Yao's collar and threw him to the ground.

Ye Chaoran: “…”

It seemed his worries were unnecessary.

The chaos outside Class 1's door happened suddenly. Before many students could react, people there started fighting with each other.

Many people watched the excitement for a while before they remembered to go find the teacher.

"Stop fighting! The head teacher is here!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Stop it!"

The head teacher saw this scene from a distance and was overwhelmed. He shouted angrily: "Why don't you stop it! Which class are you from?! Who started it first?"

The students in Class 1 immediately let go of the people in Class 6. Several of them exchanged glances and instantly fell to the ground screaming “Ouch, ouch!”

The students of Class 6 were dumbfounded when they saw several people grabbing them and beating them up one second, and lying on the ground wailing the next.

"Class Six was the first to strike!"

"They came to our class to provoke us!"

"They also accused our classmate Jiang Xunmo of cheating on his grades!"

"We are defending ourselves!"

Class 6: “?”

How the hell can the bad guy complain first?

The head teacher felt a headache when he looked at the students in the lead.

Before coming, he thought that it was just some naughty students from some class making trouble again, but when he walked in, he found that the people leading the group looked somewhat familiar.

The head teacher suppressed his anger, his eyes swept across Gu Yaolin Bai, and finally fell on Jiang Xunmo.

"What's going on with you guys?" the head teacher asked Jiang Xunmo.

Jiang Xunmo shrugged and said, "Director, let's go to the office first. It will take a while to explain everything."

Grade Director: “…”

Ye Chaoran was finally released by Zhang Qi at this moment. He squeezed out of the crowd and said, "Director, I'll come too..."

"What are you doing here?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

Jiang Xunmo said almost at the same time as Gu Yao.

Ye Chaoran didn't look at Gu Yao, and said to Jiang Xunmo: "I'll go too."

That's it.

Now not only the second in grade, but also the first in grade is involved.

The head teacher was in a dilemma: "Does Ye Zhaoran have anything to do with you? I didn't see you do anything! Those who don't have anything to do with you should go back to class! Anyone else who did something should come to my office with me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd of onlookers dispersed immediately.

Ye Chaoran wanted to say something, but Jiang Xunmo suddenly reached out and pinched his wrist.

Ye Chaoran raised his head and met Jiang Xunmo's deep eyes.

"You go to class," Jiang Xunmo curved his lips towards him. When the head teacher turned around, he suddenly lowered his head and whispered in Ye Zhaoran's ear, "I have contacted a lawyer. Don't worry."

Ye Chaoran looked at him in surprise.

He didn't see Jiang Xunmo contacting a lawyer just now, which means that Jiang Xunmo had already expected that the students from Class 6 would come to cause trouble today, so he contacted a lawyer in advance?

Ye Chaoran wanted to ask more, but Jiang Xunmo pushed his shoulder and pushed him into the classroom.

Ye Chaoran didn't move. He looked at the backs of the group of people with his brows tightly furrowed.

As if noticing his gaze, an injured person who was supported by a group of classmates suddenly turned his head and made a "yeah" gesture to Ye Zhaoran.

Ye Chaoran couldn't laugh. He waited until the subject teacher entered the classroom before he walked towards his seat.

office.

After receiving the message from the head teacher, Teacher Wang hurried to the office.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard the head teacher of Class 6 roaring, "I don't care! You must give me an explanation for this matter! There are only a dozen students in our class, but they were beaten up by nearly twenty students! The mood of this matter is too bad!"

Teacher Wang's eyebrows jumped and she pushed the door open.

When the students in Class 1 saw her, their eyes lit up for a moment.

Teacher Wang glared at them, then smiled and looked at the head teacher: "Head teacher, what happened?"

The head teacher was so angry that he couldn't even breathe. He was drinking tea at the moment and pointed at a student: "You say."

The student was from Class 6, and he quickly told the whole story.

"We just wanted to come to the door of Class 1 to check the results. We didn't really want to cause trouble. When we saw Jiang Xunmo's results, we were ready to leave, but the people in their class were unreasonable and stopped us from leaving! They also said..."

"What?" Teacher Wang looked at him.

The student immediately felt even more aggrieved: "They told us to call you dad before letting us go. Isn't this obviously bullying?!"

The head teacher of Class 6 was named Wu. Upon hearing this, he angrily said, "Teacher Wang, you have to give me an explanation!"

Teacher Wang had a headache. She looked at Fu Xin and Jiang Xunmo, who were leading the group. Then she saw the monitor who was avoiding her gaze in the crowd. She really wanted to punish these little bastards. She pretended to be serious and asked, "Is that so?"

Fu Xin was the first to speak: "Of course not! Teacher Wang, do you think we are the kind of people who would take the initiative to cause trouble?"

Jiang Xunmo and the squad leader are not like that, but Fu Xin is indeed someone who likes to stir up trouble.

Teacher Wang didn't say anything.

Fu Xin said pitifully, "Our class was happily checking our grades, but the people from Class 6 came and said that Jiang's grades were fake and that he cheated. But we all know that our school's invigilation is very strict. Even if Jiang wanted to cheat, he couldn't just copy the second place in the grade, right? Not only did they slander us, they also defamed your teacher's innocence. We were so angry that we argued with them."

"But the people in Class 6 didn't listen. As for the one who called him dad..." Fu Xin coughed lightly, "Didn't someone post on the forum before? He said that if Brother Jiang really ranked second in the grade, he should come to Brother Jiang and call him dad. As soon as the results came out, the people in Class 6 came to us, so of course we thought that they were the ones who posted it!"

"You farted!"

"We never said anything like that!"

"You, you are really good at confusing right and wrong!"

No one in Class 6 has ever seen anyone who is so good at calling a horse a zebra!

"Even if it's because of something like this, you can't hit people!" Teacher Wu was very protective of the students in his class. Several students behind him had swollen eyes!

"You were the ones who started it!" said the people in Class 1.

"Director!" Teacher Wu glared at the student. "Look, they are still quibbling! This matter must be dealt with seriously! If it is not handled properly..."

Teacher Wang was about to speak when he heard a voice say, "I also think this should be dealt with seriously."

Everyone looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Jiang Xunmo.

The head teacher tilted his head and glanced at him.

Gu Yao and Lin Bai both frowned, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Teacher Wu was most annoyed by students who interrupted him without courtesy. He raised his eyebrows and angrily said, "Did I let you speak?"

Jiang Xunmo curled his lips: "I was just agreeing with you, why are you so angry?"

"You——" Teacher Wu was so angry that his chest heaved violently.

Jiang Xunmo said calmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let the students in your class suffer any loss. Of course, I will not let our classmates suffer any injustice. So I have called my family's legal team in advance, and they are on their way now."

"Since no one can explain who started the fight first, let's leave it to my legal team. I believe they will give a fair and reasonable explanation."

"If it was one of our classmates who started the fight, I'm willing to bear everyone's medical expenses," Jiang Xunmo said, pausing for a moment. "On the other hand, if it was a student from your class who started the fight, then we'll see you in court."

Teacher Wu's face turned pale in an instant.

The students in Class 1 and Class 6 also had different expressions.

Many people in the class didn't know Jiang Xunmo, so they couldn't help but pull Fu Xin aside and ask, "Did you really hire a lawyer?"

Fu Xin nodded mysteriously, and then lowered his voice: "As far as I know, Jiang Ge's legal team has never lost a case!"

The students in Class VI were also frightened by these words.

They just had a fight, is it necessary to take it to court?

Many people were a little scared. They looked at Gu Yao and Lin Bai, who were in the lead, and whispered, "We can't be blamed for this. It was Lin Bai who first suggested that we come to watch the fun, so we followed him to Class 1..."

Someone let go, and the others quickly followed up:

"Yeah, we just wanted to watch the fun, we didn't want to make a big deal out of it..."

"I really don't want to fight."

"They are all minor matters. I think we should just write a self-review!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Director, don't be angry. We are just playing around. It won't cause any trouble..."

Lin Bai never expected that he would be sold out like this!

This is not what this group of people said when they wanted to come and watch the fun just now!

Gu Yao's face looked equally grim, but he was not afraid of trouble after all. His family donated such a building to the school, and he didn't believe that the school would dare to offend him easily!

So Gu Yao looked at the head teacher with a sullen face.

Unexpectedly, the head teacher didn't even look at him, but turned to Jiang Xunmo and said, "Okay, okay, stop calling yourself a lawyer. Teacher Wu, I don't think the students in your class were seriously injured. Whoever hit them should just pay for the medical expenses."

Teacher Wu’s eyes widened.

Just let it go like that?

Even if the students in their class were at fault first, it can't just be the end of it, right?

Isn't it just going to court? Who are you threatening?

The head teacher glanced at him and said in a more serious tone, "Unless you also want to make a big fuss about this matter, I just checked the surveillance video and it was indeed the students in your class who started it first. If this really goes to court..."

Before he could finish his words, Teacher Wu fell silent.

Gu Yao's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Don’t learn how to fight. ...

Fighting is wrong! The author does not advocate fighting!
