Chapter 14 - Rong City University
Lan Anran's voice was soft and beautiful. She said softly, "Hello everyone, I am Lan Anran, pleased to meet you."
The class fell silent and everyone stared at Lan Anran. She wore a white coat and jeans while her high ponytail emphasised her tiny face. Her skin was fair and glowing and her eyes were big and bright. She was a beautiful sight.
Lan Anran was like a fairy that continually radiated her own charm.
Wasn't she too pretty?
She was prettier than the photographs.
The people in the audience were dumbfounded and even Lin Cheng, who had never been interested in girls, was awestruck.
The experimental class was a place with too many boats chasing too few fishes. They always thought that Lan Yaxin was the best-looking. They didn't expect to see such an ethereal visitor.
However, some students showed contempt for Lan Anran. The experimental class was not a beauty pageant and every year, there were only a few slots in Rong City Medical Research Institute given to Rong City University. Those who looked good might not necessarily do well in exams.
This was a place for the capable, it wasn't for just anyone.
"Who is she?" Lin Cheng asked sarcastically.
"I heard that she is the eldest daughter of the Lan Family, Lan Yanran's older sister," someone speculated.
What a display of nepotism… That explains how she can enter. Since Yanran is trash, does that mean his elder sister is even worse?
She is just a wild child and yet, she dares to be in our class?
"I don't agree!"
A hand raised and everyone turned to the voice, it was Sun Hui.
"Why are you unhappy?" Li Yue, the head teacher asked as she pushed her glasses with a frown.
Sun Hui was the top student in the class and the one who usually caused the most trouble. Although Li Yue didn't like her very much, she didn't make it obvious.
"Teacher, this is an experimental class. We worked hard to get in and have to survive an elimination every month. How can she just join us? It's not fair to the rest of us!"
Sun Hui was also a rich second-generation heir to her family's wealth…
But she prioritized talent and despised those who used money to solve everything.
"Yes! It's not fair. The experimental class is a place for those with talent. I heard that she came from the countryside. How can she be with us? Wouldn't it lower our standards?" someone in the class immediately followed.
Li Yue was embarrassed, but this was something the principal had wanted and she had no choice. Just as she was about to say something, Lan Anran spoke, "The standards of the experimental class? Are you referring to these grades?"
Lan Anran pointed to the grades on the wall.
"The best result in the experimental classes is from Lan Yaxin of class 2. Although we are not as good as class 2, we are still one of the top in the school. Can you match up? Get out if you know what's best, we wouldn't want a rotten apple to drag us down."
Sun Hui's tone was extremely provocative and she clearly despised Lan Anran.
What else did she have other than her looks?
"That's the top score? The first place is 130/150 points? The experimental class' standards don't seem like much…"
Lan Anran looked at the result of Sun Hui, the first place in this class.
"What? You dare to insult me? This country girl sure has a big ego. What do you know? Do you know how difficult the test paper is? The countryside only teaches pinyin right?"
Sun Hui smiled playfully.
The whole class laughed loudly.
"You are Sun Hui, the ugly chatterbox. If you're so capable, why aren't you top of the level?"
Lan Anran's words stumped her.
She clenched her fists tightly and was furious.
She wanted to be first in their level, but Lan Yaxin was always a little higher than her. This was an unexplainable pain.
"You wild child, a sharp mouth alone isn't going to be useful. The experimental class tests one's ability, but you're here thanks to money and will be eliminated in two days. If you want to enter the experimental class, you'll have to go through me. Accept my challenge or you won't have the right to stay here!"
Lan Anran hesitated, wondering if it was too early to reveal her abilities.
But if she didn't compete, she wouldn't be able to enter this school.
Sun Hui took her hesitation as fear.
The people in the audience were also whispering…
"It seems that this bimbo is scared. Someone that comes from the countryside wouldn't know about herbs, she probably only knows the wild flowers by the roadside."
"Seems like it! Just look at her… Sun Hui is the second best in our grade, the eternal second place. How can this little village girl defeat her?"
"It seems that the wealthy village beauty is about to leave. She definitely won't be able to win."
Those who made such comments were mostly girls, their eyes were filled with jealousy and disdain.
"Why, are you scared? Don't come here if you're scared, just scurry away."
Sun Hui looked at Lan Anran triumphantly. She was very confident. Besides, aside from Lan Yaxin, is there anyone else here that could compare to her?
"Sun Hui, you…"
Li Yue wanted to speak when Lan Anran interrupted, "I accept your challenge."
Lan Anran wouldn't let them look down on her, it wouldn't hurt to establish herself.
Sun Hui was slightly taken aback as she smiled.
"Some people don't know their own abilities and insist on putting on a front. You can't blame me for this."
The people below the stage shook their heads, predicting Lan Anran's loss.. They didn't hold any hope for her at all.
