He scored zero

It was October 20th, four days before the monthly exam. Students in each class were working hard to prepare for the first exam of the seventh grade, especially Class 1. The learning atmosphere was tense and depressing, and even the breaks were dead.

In early autumn, it was drizzling outside the window and the classroom was filled with a damp air.

When Li Rongrong came back from the restroom during the break, her deskmate Jiang Zhizhi was doing a set of test papers. She also took out the test paper and prepared to start.

But after finishing two questions, she was distracted again. After hesitating for a moment, she still couldn't hold back her gossipy heart, "Zhizhi, I just heard someone talking about Lu Xiye in the bathroom."

"What happened to him?"

"It's not him, it's his father. It seems his father is having a late-night tryst with the eldest princess of that super-large conglomerate in Jinghai."

"Ah?" Jiang Zhizhi stopped working on the test and looked at Li Rongrong in surprise.

Li Rongrong quickly said, "I only heard what those girls said. I don't know if it's true, but they said they saw it on the news, so it's probably true."

Jiang Zhizhi tightened her grip on the ballpoint pen. She knew that Lu Xiye cared a lot about what happened between his father and those women outside. If it was true, he would definitely be furious.

However, Lu Hengshan and Jiang Guozhong are different. Jiang Guozhong cheated on his wife, while Lu Hengshan was a widower, so there is nothing wrong with him.

But Lu Xiye is his son after all. Since he has given birth to the child, why is he unwilling to give him his wholehearted love?

He clearly knew that Lu Xiye hated those women, but he still had an unclear relationship with them and didn't care about the harm it caused to Lu Xiye.

Maybe men are just like that. Because they didn't give birth to the children, their love for them won't be as deep as a mother's. Everything is centered around themselves. After a spouse dies, they will quickly transfer their feelings to another woman...

"Whether it's true or false, we can't control these things. The monthly exam is coming soon, and it's more important to us." Jiang Zhizhi said lightly.

"Have you heard? Lu Xiye's father and the daughter of the chairman of Jinghai Wanhua Group were caught by reporters checking into a hotel."

"I heard from my dad and the others that Lu Xiye's father relied on women to get to the top. Otherwise, how could he have gone from being an unknown to being the richest man in Dongxin District in less than ten years?"

"His father is no longer the richest man in Dongxin District. The Lu family is now one of the best in the entire Nanshi City. It relies on that woman from Jinghai. His father is just a gigolo outside. I heard that half of the shares of Jinhai City are owned by Shen Wanyu, the eldest daughter of the boss of Jinghai Wanhua Group."

“I heard that Shen Wanyu is a widow and was married before.”

"Haha, if she wasn't married, how could she be hooked up with Lu Xiye's father?"

"But to be honest, Lu Xiye's father is really handsome. I saw the photo in the news, and he looks like a movie star."

"It's because he's so handsome that he can be the Shen family's eldest princess's gigolo."

“…”

The rumor spread like wildfire and spread throughout the city’s No. 1 Middle School almost that same day.

Lu Xiye was so angry that he almost trembled. He had a sullen face the whole day, as if he was going to kill someone. All the students in Class 10 avoided him, fearing that he would be the scapegoat and implicate innocent people.

But although they didn't say it on the surface, everyone had already been discussing it heatedly in private. Many people were gloating, looking down on and mocking Lu Xiye and his father.

Lu Xiye felt the strange looks from the people around him, and regardless of the fact that it was a study class, he stood up and left the classroom.

He took out his cell phone in a secluded corner and called Lu Hengshan.

On the other side, Jinghai Longrong Guild Hall.

Lu Hengshan saw Lu Xiye’s call and withdrew from the financing meeting.

"Xiaoye, what's wrong?"

Hearing Lu Hengshan's tone as if nothing had happened, Lu Xiye's eyes suddenly turned red. He said angrily: "You still ask me what's wrong? I should be asking you! What's going on between you and that woman? Why are you in the hotel with her?"

"This is an adult matter, children should not interfere." Lu Hengshan frowned slightly and said firmly.

Lu Xiye became even angrier, practically gritting his teeth. "What kind of adult business is this? You and that woman checked into a hotel and it was reported in the news. Now the whole school knows about it. How can you expect me to pretend nothing happened? Have you ever considered my feelings? What am I to you? If you didn't care about me, why did you give birth to me? I hate you! Why was it my mother who died and not you? You are the one who deserves to die!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and every word he said was like a knife stabbing into Lu Hengshan's heart.

"Xiaoye, the news was deliberately arranged by Wanyu and I. Everything was just for the company's listing and financing. I did all these things for a reason. You will understand it later."

"Go to hell! What you said is all bullshit. You will die without a woman, right? Go to hell! Go to hell!"

"I will ask Principal Fu to control public opinion in your school and try not to affect your life in school..."

Before Lu Hengshan could finish his words, Lu Xiye hung up the phone.

He felt like he was going to vomit if he listened to Lu Hengshan any more.

With a "bang", he threw his phone to the ground in anger. The black flip phone shattered into pieces in an instant, as if indicating that Lu Xiye's spirit had collapsed at this moment.

When I returned to the classroom, the school bell had already rung.

As soon as Lu Xiye walked to the classroom door, he heard the noisy sounds of students packing their schoolbags and gossiping.

"Lu Xiye's father has more than one woman out there. If that princess from the Beijing circle knew that he was a gigolo and still restless, she would definitely kick him out."

"You guys say, does Shen Wanyu know that Lu Xiye's father has a son named Lu Xiye? Maybe Lu Xiye's father didn't tell her at all."

"It's possible! After all, with his status, he can even afford to support a top-tier celebrity. Why would he want a second-hand commodity like Lu Xiye's father with a burden?"

"What do you mean second-hand? It must have been five, six, seven, or eight times."

“Not only that…hahahahaha…”

The one who was laughing was Wang Wei, who was Lu Xiye's best friend.

He also knew more about Lu Xiye's family and provided his classmates with a lot of explosive gossip.

But as he was laughing, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right. He turned around and saw Lu Xiye standing at the door.

The people surrounding him immediately moved away guiltily.

"Ye...Brother Ye..."

Wang Wei was so scared that his face turned pale and he started stuttering.

Lu Xiye walked up to Wang Wei with a gloomy expression, "Laugh! Laugh again!"

“I’m not…Ah!”

Lu Xiye didn't listen to his explanation. He punched Wang Wei to the ground and punched and kicked him like a madman, cursing him and venting his anger.

Wang Wei was beaten so hard that he screamed and struggled desperately, but he could not beat Lu Xiye at all. The harder he struggled, the worse he was beaten.

"Lu Xiye, what are you doing!"

Wei Hao, the head teacher of Class 10, was called over by his classmates. Seeing the two people fighting on the ground, he scolded them sternly.

Lu Xiye then stopped and stood up from the ground. Wang Wei, who was standing under him, was beaten so badly that his nose and face were swollen and his mouth was bleeding.

"What's going on? Why did you hit Wang Wei?" Wei Hao pulled Lu Xiye to the wall and asked coldly.

Lu Xiye smiled coldly, as if he didn't care how he was dealt with. "If you don't like him, just beat him up!"

"Stand still! What's with that attitude?"

Wei Hao also has a headache about Lu Xiye, this troublemaker.

If it was an ordinary student, he could ask the parents to deal with it together, but Lu Xiye's father, Lu Hengshan, is the sponsor of the No. 1 Middle School in the city and has a high status. He knows Lu Xiye's family situation and cannot expect Lu Hengshan to discipline his son with just a few words from him. It is even more impossible for the school to expel the son of the school sponsor.

Lu Xiye sneered and did not give Wei Hao any response.

Wei Hao pulled him in front of Wang Wei and said, "Apologize to Wang Wei."

Lu Xiye looked at Wang Wei, who was beaten extremely badly by him. Thinking of Wang Wei's face just now, he felt extremely disgusted.

"Wang Wei, let's just leave it at that for today. If you dare to mess with me again next time, I'll kill you!"

“Bang!”

Wei Hao was so angry that he slapped Lu Xiye on the back of the head.

October 24th, Thursday, the first monthly exam for seventh grade.

After the exam in the afternoon, everyone in Class 1 breathed a sigh of relief. The tense spirits from nearly a month of intensive study could finally be relaxed for a short time.

But when everyone finished checking the papers privately on Friday, there was a chorus of wailing in the class. Some were filled with regret, some were uneasy, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the results.

Although Jiang Zhizhi did the test smoothly this time, she still felt a little nervous because there were so many outstanding top students in the class.

On October 29th, the results for math and politics came out.

Jiang Zhizhi scored 148 points in mathematics and 96 points in politics.

Yao Jiaqi scored 147 points in mathematics and 96 points in politics.

Xu Qingbo scored 148 points in mathematics and 94 points in politics.

Lin Qingyu scored 141 points in mathematics and 95 points in politics.

…

The first place in both subjects was Jiang Zhizhi, Yao Jiaqi only lost one point, and Xu Qingbo lost two points.

Li Rongrong looked at the 132 points on her math test and sighed softly.

Mathematics was never her strong point, and now she was even worse than Jiang Zhizhi, Xu Qingbo and Lin Qingyu.

On October 30th, the results of English, biology, geography and history came out.

On Friday, October 31st, the Chinese language results came out. At the same time, the school’s overall transcript for the monthly exam was also posted on the school bulletin board.

The total score was 850 points, and Jiang Zhizhi ranked first with 812 points.

Yao Jiaqi and Xu Qingbo tied for second place with 810 points.

Lin Qingyu scored 798 points, ranking fifth.

As for Li Rongrong, she ranked 15th.

The moment she saw the results, Li Rongrong's eyes felt a little sore.

She entered the school at 12th place, but now she is 3 places behind.

But then she thought again, there were students like Xu Qingbo, Lin Qingyu and Lin Jiayi who were admitted to the key class, so it didn't seem so unacceptable for her to get the 15th place.

Li Rongrong looked down again and saw that Lin Jiayi was ranked 17th. For a moment, she felt happy again.

Well, it’s not really a step backward.

"By the way, let me see what Lu Xiye's grades are?" Li Rongrong curiously pulled Jiang Zhizhi to the back of the bulletin board. "He's definitely last anyway."

As expected, Lu Xiye was ranked last.

0 points.

"Oh my god, this is amazing! He didn't even take any exams!" Li Rongrong smacked her lips in amazement.
