Chapter 278 A Century-Old Ginseng Written on Paper
"Wen Xiaoxiao, plus the century-old ginseng, must score over 90 points. She's definitely number one by one."
"Sigh, we can only blame ourselves for not being born with that kind of luck."
Listening to everyone's chatter, Wen Xiaoxiao's braids were practically sticking up to the sky.
Seeing her like that, Xiao Ju couldn't help but whisper to Chen Ge and Kong Wange, "Sister Kong, didn't you bring back your ginseng? How come she still has some?!"
Chen Ge sighed: "Alas, it's all my fault. Actually, I was kidnapped by Wen Xiaoxiao. In order to save me, Boss Kong had no choice but to give the ginseng to Wen Xiaoxiao again."
Seeing this, Leng Jun gritted his teeth and said, "This Wen Xiaoxiao is simply despicable. She's so smug about using other people's ginseng to gain points. I really want to go up and expose her!"
Kong Wange quickly patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, just keep watching."
When Murong Ting gave the ginseng to Kong Wange, Chen Ge was cultivating a relationship with Ruan Yunti, so he didn't notice their conversation and actions. He also thought that the century-old ginseng was in Wen Xiaoxiao's handbag.
Han Fei and the two teachers behind him were also slightly surprised when they heard Wen Xiaoxiao's words.
"You mean, you dug up a century-old ginseng?" Han Fei asked instinctively.
"Yes," Wen Xiaoxiao said proudly.
Han Fei was also a little excited: "Okay, then show it to us."
"No problem." So Wen Xiaoxiao shook her handbag and dumped all twenty-odd peach wood boxes inside onto the table.
"Wow!" This scene caused an uproar.
"No wonder we couldn't find her. Wen Xiaoxiao is quite cunning; she even prepared so many stand-ins."
"However, with so many identical boxes, can she tell them apart?"
As if to confirm what her classmates had said, Wen Xiaoxiao opened ten boxes in a row, all of which were empty. Because the locks on the boxes were secured with wire, her hands were bleeding from the twisting.
Han Fei and the others gradually grew impatient: "Wen Xiaoxiao, did you really dig up a century-old ginseng? Or are you just playing a trick on the teachers?"
After Wen Xiaoxiao and Li Jing came down the mountain, they were too smug and eager to watch the show, so they forgot to open the boxes beforehand. They opened ten empty boxes in a row, which made her lose face.
Hearing Han Fei's question, she replied in a flustered manner, "Teacher, I didn't lie to you. Please wait a little longer. The century-old ginseng is in one of these boxes, but I've forgotten exactly which one it's in."
Han Fei suppressed his temper: "Then hurry up."
Li Jing, who was watching Wen Xiaoxiao's movements, was also getting anxious. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he pointed to one of the boxes and said, "Xiaoxiao, there are engravings on that box. Is that a mark you made?"
Following Li Jing's guidance, Wen Xiaoxiao also noticed the special features of the box. Overjoyed, she said to Li Jing, "Yes, this is the mark I made. Oh dear, my memory is terrible, I completely forgot. Teachers, the century-old ginseng is in this box. I'll open it now."
Wen Xiaoxiao snatched the carved peach wood box, unscrewed the wire, and with a click, the box's clasp popped open. Everyone turned to look, holding their breath.
The news of this century-old ginseng has been circulating for so long, but most people still haven't seen it!
"Teacher, please look!" Wen Xiaoxiao yanked open the lid, ready to receive everyone's praise.
However, the next second, the entire venue suddenly fell silent.
Everyone looked into the box.
Inside the ginseng box was a small stone, and underneath the stone was a piece of paper.
The words "Centennial Mountain Ginseng" are written in bold, elegant strokes above!
Hahahaha
"Hohohohoho"
The mocking laughter that suddenly rang out from the crowd seemed to be contagious, and soon everyone burst into laughter one after another.
"Damn, a century-old ginseng, that's powerful!"
"My god, this is hilarious! Wen Xiaoxiao, are you a clown sent by the monkeys?"
"I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts from laughing. You're a real genius! This is enough to make me laugh for a whole year. I can never look at the words 'century-old ginseng' the same way again."
"There's a saying, 'Don't show off, or you'll get struck by lightning.' That's for Miss Wen!"
Zhao Xiaohe didn't forget to step forward and kick Wen Xiaoxiao while she was down: "Wen Xiaoxiao, your Wen family has run a clinic for so many years, how come you haven't been able to cure your brain-dead problem?"
Hearing the laughter around her, Wen Xiaoxiao's face turned as red as a pig's liver, and she stood there stunned, as if struck by lightning.
Han Fei frowned as well: "Wen, is this the century-old ginseng you were talking about? You're trying to fool your teacher. I think you don't want to study in the academy anymore!"
Wen Xiaoxiao then realized what was happening and hurriedly explained, "Teacher, no, I remembered the wrong box. Please wait a little longer, it must be in another box..."
She turned pale and reached for other boxes, opening three or four with trembling hands, only to find them all empty.
Han Fei completely lost his patience: "Enough! If you dare to cause trouble again and disrupt the assessment order, I will cancel your assessment results on behalf of the college!"
Wen Xiaoxiao completely broke down. Although there were still about ten boxes left to open, she knew in her heart that there was no hope.
She couldn't help but tremble all over.
How could this be?!
If the century-old ginseng isn't in these boxes, then where is it?
Kong Wange…
Wen Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she must still be with Kong Wange!
She had hidden the century-old ginseng in advance and deliberately made a bunch of boxes to confuse people. She just wanted to trick her and make her lose face in front of everyone!
Having figured out the cause and effect of the matter, Wen Xiaoxiao could no longer hold back.
Without a second thought, she charged at Kong Wange: "You bitch, you dare to harm me, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Unfortunately, she was stopped before she could even get close to Kong Wange.
Chen Ge took the lead and stood in front of Kong Wange to protect her.
Leng Jun and Zhu Ju also rushed out of the queue.
The three men's brows were filled with mockery.
"Wen Xiaoxiao, you dare to beat up your classmate in front of the teacher! You have some nerve! Don't you respect the teacher at all!" Leng Jun sneered.
Chen Ge chimed in from the side, "Yes, yes, you bad woman!"
"Let her do it. I want to see how capable she really is. The teacher should disqualify her from the competition!"
Little Orange absolutely hated Wen Xiaoxiao. Seeing her become the target of everyone's criticism and suffer such a huge humiliation made her feel incredibly happy!
Looking at the three people blocking her way, and then at the mocking, contemptuous, and sarcastic gazes of everyone present, Wen Xiaoxiao felt her shame and anger reach their peak.
Just then, Li Jing jumped out and pressed down on Wen Xiaoxiao's trembling shoulder, comforting her, "Xiaoxiao, calm down, don't be impulsive. If you lose your grades because of this country bumpkin, that would be a real loss!"
"Listen to me, we're currently tied for 14th place. Right now, only Kong Wange and Shen Ge's scores haven't been released yet. Even if Kong Wange gets a higher score than us because of the century-old ginseng, I don't believe Shen Ge can surpass us. At worst, we'll be 15th, and we still have a chance to get into the experimental class."
