Chapter 281: Mysterious Reward

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The students who had drunk too much were sitting in the dining room. The girls had already started to pack their things. Geng Hui was busy flipping through the address book and informing the parents of the students who had drunk too much to come and pick them up.

The results of the school’s scholarship evaluation had been released.

Originally, Su Tang could not get a scholarship this time, but the school suddenly changed the reward mechanism this time, causing all the originally planned scholarship amounts to be distributed from the second place. It was said that Shi Man, who was first, would receive a mystery gift.

When Geng Hui read the notice in the school’s teachers’ group chat, his eyes were about to fall on the screen.

He had been in the industry for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen such a strange school reward. He couldn’t help but feel sorry for Shi Man. However, seeing her indifferent expression, he thought that she didn’t lack money at all. Having a physical reward that was worth looking forward to might be a very good gift.

He put away his cell phone and comforted her softly. “Cassel Academy has always been very generous to students with outstanding results. Your reward will definitely not be bad. It might even be more expensive than the scholarships of the other students!”

Shi Man did not care about this. She did not care what she was given. She nodded lightly and got up to leave with Su Tang.

Geng Hui hurriedly stopped her and braced himself to ask, “Um, the principal just said that you need to go back to school to get this thing yourself. Are you going now or tomorrow?”

Shi Man frowned suspiciously and said in a calm and helpless tone, “Alright, I’ll go to school now.”

At this moment, it was not too late outside. It was just time for most people to get off work. The streets were filled with traffic. Shi Man and Su Tang were stuck on the road for a full twenty minutes before the car barely moved a short distance.

She impatiently asked the chauffeur to turn around and drive back to the Shi family while she opened the car door and got out.

Su Tang hurriedly lowered the car window and stopped her. “Manman, where are you going?”

“I’ll walk to school. You go back first.” She left after saying this.

Most of the teachers in the school had left, and only the light in the principal’s office was still on. Seeing her come, the principal took off his glasses and smiled. “I thought you would choose to come again tomorrow.”

“I might have plans for tomorrow. I came to get it since I’m free today.” She sat casually opposite the desk with no expression on her face. “Why do you have to change the reward rules when it came to me?”

The principal paused for a moment and smiled. “Considering that you might not like the bonus, I specially prepared a gift for you.”

Shi Man raised her eyebrows in contempt. “Is that so? I thought someone was asking the school to set a precedent behind our backs.”

The principal’s eyelids twitched as he quickly tried to salvage the situation. “How could that be? This is a personal gift from the school.”

With that, he reached into the drawer and took out a small wooden box. With a fawning expression, he said, “This is it. Open it when you get home. If you’re not satisfied, you can return it to me tomorrow.”

Shi Man frowned and wanted to refuse, but the principal was clearly not prepared to give her this chance. He stood up first and put on his coat. “Remember, look at it when you get home. Otherwise, I won’t take it back if you’re not satisfied!”

Shi Man had no choice but to hold the box unwillingly in her hand. She hummed softly as a promise to him.

When she reached home, the sky outside was already dark, but it was not darker than Shi Man’s face.

Su Tang swallowed and stole a glance at the box nervously. When she saw the exquisite bracelet, her heart skipped a beat. “This is the Yi family’s…” engagement bracelet, right?

She did not dare to say the last few words because it was obvious from Shi Man’s expression that she did not like this thing and hated the meaning behind it.

She paused for a moment and racked her brain to think of an explanation. She tried her best to persuade her. “Actually, Brother Yi Zheng did this to give you a surprise.”

Shi Man looked over coldly. “Whose side are you on?”

“Of course, I’m on your side!” Su Tang hurriedly straightened her attitude and condemned righteously. “How can the principal help Yi Zheng do such a thing? Isn’t this lying to you?”

Seeing Shi Man’s expression soften, Su Tang heaved a sigh of relief and changed the topic. “But Manman, if you retreat, won’t there be no reward for getting first place in the cohort this time?”

Shi Man frowned and closed the lid with a bang, throwing it casually on the table. “I don’t care about the reward.”

“But this is from the principal, not Yi Zheng, so it shouldn’t be considered an engagement token, right?” Su Tang carefully stole a glance at her expression and her voice became softer and softer. “Even if you accept it, you’ll only be accepting the reward from the school. Yi Zheng can only be considered a sponsor, right?”

Shi Man tilted her head to look at Su Tang and stared at her for a while. Suddenly, a big smile appeared on her lips. “Tangtang, I realize that you’re really getting smarter now. We’ll do as you say. I want Yi Zheng to suffer in silence.”

Su Tang was relieved. Thinking of what Tang Zhe had instructed on the way back, she could finally heave a sigh of relief..
