Jiang He also hugged Ji Yao tightly and said gently, “Mom is here. I’ll go find the principal to change your class now!”

Ji Yao’s eyes lit up and she nodded heavily. “Okay!”

Jiang He and Ji Yao hugged each other and attracted the attention of many people, including Gu Xiao, who had just left school.

After hearing their words, Gu Xiao couldn’t help but sneer and say, “This is my bet with Ji Yao. Her marks were lower than mine in the test, so we swapped classes like we agreed beforehand. But now, from what you’re saying, do you want to violate the bet?”

Jiang He and Ji Yao did not expect Gu Xiao to hear their conversation. They took a few steps back in panic. When they came back to their senses, their expressions did not look good.

Especially Ji Yao.

Ji Yao did not expect Gu Xiao to mention the bet. She subconsciously looked at Jiang He in panic.

Jiang He noticed Ji Yao’s gaze. She raised her hand and patted Ji Yao gently to comfort her. Then, she looked at Gu Xiao and said, “It’s just a small bet. Why do you have to keep holding onto it?”

Gu Xiao was so angry that she laughed. She repeated in disbelief, “Just a small bet?”

Gu Xiao said, “But Ji Yao suggested this small bet when my results were bad. Do you know what she said? She said that if I can’t beat her, she’ll make me drop out of school. But if I win, I’ll just change classes with her.”

Jiang He pursed her lips. Her desire to change Ji Yao’s class wavered a little at this moment.

Ji Yao had been paying attention to Jiang He’s expression at all times, so she immediately caught sight of this. A dark glint flashed across her slightly lowered eyes, and then she whispered, “I’m sorry, Mom. I was the one who suggested the bet with Gu Xiao first. It’s just that I wanted to make it more serious so that everyone could improve better. However, I didn’t expect Xiaoxiao to take this matter seriously.”

When Jiang He heard Ji Yao’s words, she felt that it made sense, so she made up her mind to change Ji Yao’s class again. At the same time, she did not forget to look at Gu Xiao and say, “Yaoyao is just joking with you. Don’t be so petty and fuss over this matter. I’ll go look for the principal now to switch you and Yaoyao back to your original classes.”

After saying this, Jiang He pulled Ji Yao into the school.

Gu Xiao took a few steps forward and stopped them. At the same time, she looked straight at Jiang He and asked, “You’re dissatisfied with the current class and don’t want Ji Yao to be in that class. Yet you want me to go now?”

When faced with Gu Xiao’s direct question, Jiang He was a little flustered. She subconsciously turned her head to avoid her gaze and wanted to leave.

Gu Xiao did not give Jiang He a chance to dodge and directly asked again, “Is that so?”

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Jiang He replied, “Yes!”

After giving an affirmative answer, Jiang He seemed to be moved and said, “I really can’t bear for Yaoyao to be in such a lousy class, but I can bear for you to be here. After all, Gu Xiao, don’t forget that you’re from the countryside after just living a good life for a few days.”

“The learning environment in your countryside is definitely not as good as this class, so what are you dissatisfied with? I’ll tell you bluntly that if you bully Yaoyao again, I’ll make you pack up and get out of the Ji family to return to your countryside!”

Chu An didn’t expect to hear Jiang He’s words when he had returned to the classroom to get something.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but Xiaoxiao won’t go back to the countryside. She can still come home with me!”

After saying this, Chu An looked at Gu Xiao with sparkling eyes and said at the same time, “Xiaoxiao, I told you not to go back. They don’t cherish your feelings at all.”

At this moment, Gu Xiao gently sniffed and looked like she was holding back her tears. She opened her mouth but couldn’t speak. Then, she looked at Jiang He in disappointment and approached Chu An.

When Chu An saw this, he said to Jiang He, “Thank you for giving me a chance so Xiaoxiao is willing to leave with me.”

After saying this, Chu An left with Gu Xiao.

When Ji Yao saw this, she looked at Jiang He timidly and said, “Mom, isn’t it not good for us to do this? Let’s apologize and ask Xiaoxiao to come back. It’s not good for her to go home with a boy now. Although she doesn’t want me to change classes, she’s just too serious about following the rules…”

After hearing Ji Yao’s words, Jiang He said firmly, “Don’t worry about her. Mommy will transfer you back to your class now..”
