Chapter 34
"What did I say? I just said how can you be so sure, could it be that I was wrong? Or do you have some inside information that the top student of the grade has already been determined?" As soon as these words came out of Guo Tongwen's mouth, the people around took a deep breath.
"Guo Tongwen, you shouldn't say such words." Someone reminded her.
Tan Jia was furious with her. "You are just making trouble out of nothing. It is a fact that Ren Ran is not as good as Kong Lian. Let's just wait and see who is right, you or me."
"When did I say Ren Ran was the top student of the grade?"
"Humph, why don't you dare to compare now? You used to boast about one and denigrate the other all the time, now why don't you dare say it? It seems you also know Ren Ran is not as good as Kong Lian?" Tan Jia mocked coldly, "Comparing jewelry, comparing parents, these are all fake. We are students, what we should compare most is grades. If the grades are not as good, then what's the use."
People who were on good terms with Kong Lian began to stir things up when they heard this.
Previously, Guo Tongwen had always boasted about one and denigrated the other, always squeezing and making sarcastic remarks about Kong Lian. Kong Lian had always let it go without keeping score, and told them not to keep score with each other.
Now finally catching an opportunity, they must stand up for Kong Lian. After all, it takes two hands to clap.
Kong Lian was very generous, often bringing them gifts, often taking them out for big meals. Just based on these things, they could not sit idly by.
"This is simple. The monthly exam is the real test."
"That's right. Why don't you just let Kong Lian and Ren Ran make a bet? Whoever is the top student of the grade wins. The loser treats the whole class to a weekend getaway."
When the others heard about a weekend getaway, their eyes lit up.
"Haha, that's a good idea."
Zhao Yi immediately stood up, "What's with the stirring up? Their quarrel is their business, what does dragging the innocent Ren Ran and Kong Lian into it have to do with anything."
But Kong Lian's lackey Hu Xiyue did not agree.
"Tsk tsk, this is knowing you will definitely lose, so you don't dare."
"You were bragging so much before, now that it's come to real knives and guns, you don't dare say it. How cowardly!"
Kong Lian stood silently to the side, without any action, her eyes looking at Ren Ran, with a smile on her face.
Ren Ran's eyes met hers, and the corners of her lips also turned up slightly, with the same hypocritical smile.
Zhao Yi was about to say something when she felt a weight on her shoulder, and Ren Ran's voice sounded in her ear.
"It's just a competition, I agree, I can't say no, but it depends on what Kong Lian thinks." Ren Ran kicked the ball back to the other side.
Facing the gazes projected at her, Kong Lian sighed softly, "We are all classmates, we should help and support each other, not confront each other."
"Kong Lian, they've already said so much, if you don't dare agree, wouldn't that make them feel you are being evasive, not daring to compete with her."
"Your concession, in the eyes of others, is just weakness and bullyability. Not worthy!"
Kong Lian seemed to be persuaded by them, somewhat embarrassed, "This..."
She glanced at Ren Ran, then looked around at the others, reluctantly agreeing, "Okay! No matter if I win or lose, I hope it doesn't affect our feelings."
Her voice was gentle, smiling at Ren Ran.
Who doesn't know how to be hypocritical!
Ren Ran nodded in agreement, "You're right, no matter if you win or I win, I'll cover the cost of the weekend getaway."
The other students all smiled, many felt it was generous.
"Ren Ran, awesome!" Some male classmates gave her a thumbs up.
Seeing Ren Ran taking the upper hand, Kong Lian's other lackey Ji Qing was not happy. "This is knowing you will lose, so preparing in advance."
Zhao Yi's temper flared up, "Ji Qing, did you eat shit this morning? Your mouth is so foul."
Ji Qing was not easy to provoke either. Relying on having the wealthy Kong Lian as her backer, she was not afraid at all. As long as she curried favor with her, there would be many benefits in the future.
"I'm just telling the truth, why can't people speak nowadays."
Ren Ran was not angry, smiling at Ji Qing, "Since you've said so, fine. Whoever loses pays. Classmates, it's not that I'm unwilling, it's just fear of gossip. Alas, I was thinking of preparing a top standard, 5-star super-luxury tour for everyone."
She had a regretful expression.
"It's okay, we all understand."
"Don't worry about it."
"We all know what you mean."
In any case, whether they win or lose, they get to play for free.
Once the bet came out, Guo Tongwen realized she had been used as a gun by others, and led into a pit with Ren Ran.
Seeing Ren Ran say this now, she quickly remedied, "Ren Ran, don't worry. If Kong Lian loses, the travel standard she sets definitely won't be lower than your 5-star one. After all, she is the daughter of the Haixiang Group corporation, she definitely won't be petty."
Ren Ran glanced at Guo Tongwen, this girl was clever.
Zhao Yi also chimed in, "Of course. The daughter of the Haixiang Group is exceptional!"
Kong Lian had a smile on her face, noticing the anticipatory looks in the classmates' eyes, she laughed and said, "If I lose, I'll treat everyone to a two day stay at the Mingshan Island Resort, all expenses paid."
She looked at Ren Ran.
A two day trip to Mingshan Island all-inclusive, hmm, just thinking about the bill she would see at the end, Kong Lian couldn't help but feel happy inside.
Those two fools thought they were setting a trap for her, but they didn't know they were digging a pit for that wretched Ren Ran.
A seemingly random and meaningless bet between them had somehow grown wings and spread through the entire grade, even the lower grades had heard about it.
The bet between Kong Lian and Ren Ran had become famous, leading all the students to look forward to this bet, classmates from other classes would often come to see the two wealthy daughters daring to gamble.
The school's infamous "slacker" Fu Yan stood with his hands in his pockets, leaning against the classroom door, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
"It's just these two making a bet?"
His lackey beside him nodded, "Yes, just the two of them."
"Hey, what's the point of treating your own class to a two day trip, if you want to treat someone, treat the whole grade, that would be exciting." Fu Yan was about to say the whole school, students and teachers, but thought better of it.
The other passing senior students stopped in their tracks, looking expectantly at Ren Ran and Kong Lian.
Ren Ran was stunned.
Kong Lian was also stunned.
The classmates were all dumbfounded, their eyes staring at Fu Yan in unison.
"Miss Ren, Miss Kong, can you afford it?"
"Ah, they are the daughters of listed corporations, treating the whole grade to a trip is nothing, you're looking down on them too much."
The lackeys all stirred things up, while students from other classes watched curiously, waiting for the two to respond.
If they agreed, it was a free ride for them too.
Mingshan Island was a nationally famous 5-star luxury tourist resort near Hai City. It was just a half hour ferry ride away. Over 100 billion had been spent to build the world's largest water world, the most beautiful aquarium. The island had everything needed for eating, living, transportation and entertainment, of course the consumption was also very high, with per capita spending of 5000 yuan.
