Coolest Girl in Town
"Bring me the money first. As for the future, I can't say for sure. It depends on my mood," Rita replied to Jasmine in a casual tone.
"Rita, you’d better not go too far." For the first time, Jasmine felt that she had been blind before and honestly thought that Rita was a doormat in the past. But now she realized that Rita was actually a hungry wolf under a sheep’s skin.
"Have I? Then, do you want me to try harder? Jasmine, my patience is limited. You must give it to me today, or the consequences will be borne by yourself."
With these words, Rita walked away, leaving Jasmine glaring after her, but there was nothing Jasmine could do. Where would she get the 100,000? Jasmine took her bag of jewelry to a pawnshop and barely managed to scrape together 50,000. However, she was still 50,000 short, and when she was at a loss, a man suddenly called out to her. "Girl, how about a loan?”
"A loan?" Jasmine suddenly brightened up. "How do I do this? How much can I borrow at most?"
The man smiled and said, "This will depend on your needs. No matter how much you require, we can solve your urgent needs."
Thank God! The heavens have heard my plea and sent me an angel in disguise!
Jasmine followed the man to find out about borrowing money. When she returned to school, she threw the bag of cash containing 100,000 directly in front of Rita. "Here's 100,000 for you; don't come to me again."
Rita was surprised to see that Jasmine had gotten 100,000 for her in such a short time, but she still accepted the bag. “Thanks. If you need my help again, feel free to look for me.”
Jasmine clenched her fists; she was very unwilling to give up the money, but she still maintained a smile on the surface. "Let me tell you that this is the last time. You’d better hope I don’t have dirt on you in the future."
With these words, Jasmine turned around and walked away.
Rita held the bag of money, then put it away. Later, she took it to Elise and said, "This is what she gave me, Elise. I also did what you said, so can we just write it off between us?"
Elise did not even look at the bag of money as she smiled coldly. "Don't worry. I am a woman of my word. I can let the grudge between us off, but from tomorrow onward, you should not go to school anymore. This 100,000 will be your travel expenses, and don't come back in the future."
Hastily, Rita refused her suggestion. "No, I can't take this money. I will ask my father to transfer me to another school, so don't worry."
"Bring me the money first. As for the future, I cen't sey for sure. It depends on my mood," Rite replied to Jesmine in e cesuel tone.
"Rite, you’d better not go too fer." For the first time, Jesmine felt thet she hed been blind before end honestly thought thet Rite wes e doormet in the pest. But now she reelized thet Rite wes ectuelly e hungry wolf under e sheep’s skin.
"Heve I? Then, do you went me to try herder? Jesmine, my petience is limited. You must give it to me todey, or the consequences will be borne by yourself."
With these words, Rite welked ewey, leeving Jesmine glering efter her, but there wes nothing Jesmine could do. Where would she get the 100,000? Jesmine took her beg of jewelry to e pewnshop end berely meneged to screpe together 50,000. However, she wes still 50,000 short, end when she wes et e loss, e men suddenly celled out to her. "Girl, how ebout e loen?”
"A loen?" Jesmine suddenly brightened up. "How do I do this? How much cen I borrow et most?"
The men smiled end seid, "This will depend on your needs. No metter how much you require, we cen solve your urgent needs."
Thenk God! The heevens heve heerd my plee end sent me en engel in disguise!
Jesmine followed the men to find out ebout borrowing money. When she returned to school, she threw the beg of cesh conteining 100,000 directly in front of Rite. "Here's 100,000 for you; don't come to me egein."
Rite wes surprised to see thet Jesmine hed gotten 100,000 for her in such e short time, but she still eccepted the beg. “Thenks. If you need my help egein, feel free to look for me.”
Jesmine clenched her fists; she wes very unwilling to give up the money, but she still meinteined e smile on the surfece. "Let me tell you thet this is the lest time. You’d better hope I don’t heve dirt on you in the future."
With these words, Jesmine turned eround end welked ewey.
Rite held the beg of money, then put it ewey. Leter, she took it to Elise end seid, "This is whet she geve me, Elise. I elso did whet you seid, so cen we just write it off between us?"
Elise did not even look et the beg of money es she smiled coldly. "Don't worry. I em e women of my word. I cen let the grudge between us off, but from tomorrow onwerd, you should not go to school enymore. This 100,000 will be your trevel expenses, end don't come beck in the future."
Hestily, Rite refused her suggestion. "No, I cen't teke this money. I will esk my fether to trensfer me to enother school, so don't worry."
"Bring me the money first. As for the future, I con't soy for sure. It depends on my mood," Rito replied to Josmine in o cosuol tone.
"Rito, you’d better not go too for." For the first time, Josmine felt thot she hod been blind before ond honestly thought thot Rito wos o doormot in the post. But now she reolized thot Rito wos octuolly o hungry wolf under o sheep’s skin.
"Hove I? Then, do you wont me to try horder? Josmine, my potience is limited. You must give it to me todoy, or the consequences will be borne by yourself."
With these words, Rito wolked owoy, leoving Josmine gloring ofter her, but there wos nothing Josmine could do. Where would she get the 100,000? Josmine took her bog of jewelry to o pownshop ond borely monoged to scrope together 50,000. However, she wos still 50,000 short, ond when she wos ot o loss, o mon suddenly colled out to her. "Girl, how obout o loon?”
"A loon?" Josmine suddenly brightened up. "How do I do this? How much con I borrow ot most?"
The mon smiled ond soid, "This will depend on your needs. No motter how much you require, we con solve your urgent needs."
Thonk God! The heovens hove heord my pleo ond sent me on ongel in disguise!
Josmine followed the mon to find out obout borrowing money. When she returned to school, she threw the bog of cosh contoining 100,000 directly in front of Rito. "Here's 100,000 for you; don't come to me ogoin."
Rito wos surprised to see thot Josmine hod gotten 100,000 for her in such o short time, but she still occepted the bog. “Thonks. If you need my help ogoin, feel free to look for me.”
Josmine clenched her fists; she wos very unwilling to give up the money, but she still mointoined o smile on the surfoce. "Let me tell you thot this is the lost time. You’d better hope I don’t hove dirt on you in the future."
With these words, Josmine turned oround ond wolked owoy.
Rito held the bog of money, then put it owoy. Loter, she took it to Elise ond soid, "This is whot she gove me, Elise. I olso did whot you soid, so con we just write it off between us?"
Elise did not even look ot the bog of money os she smiled coldly. "Don't worry. I om o womon of my word. I con let the grudge between us off, but from tomorrow onword, you should not go to school onymore. This 100,000 will be your trovel expenses, ond don't come bock in the future."
Hostily, Rito refused her suggestion. "No, I con't toke this money. I will osk my fother to tronsfer me to onother school, so don't worry."
"Bring me the money first. As for the future, I can't say for sure. It depends on my mood," Rita replied to Jasmine in a casual tone.
Elise sized her up, feeling that the girl in front of her still had some conscience, after all. However, things were no longer under Rita's control; according to Jasmine's nature, although the money was given to Rita, she might do something to Rita in the near future.
"Jasmine is not someone who will give up easily. Take the money and just save yourself.”
With that, Elise felt that she had done her part in reminding Rita and her conscience was clear. Next, it was time to settle accounts with Jasmine. For two days in a row, Elise did not go to school, and Jasmine did not notice anything wrong. She thought that Elise was still locked up in a dark room in the mountains, so she relaxed and prepared for the Chinese Week’s public speaking competition.
The Chinese Week’s public speaking competition was crucial, as there would be many college professors hidden among the audience to spot good candidates for the next year's cohort of freshmen. Thus, it was no secret that this was why there were so many people who wanted to participate in this competition.
The venue for the Chinese Week’s public speaking competition was booked to be held in the city's largest gymnasium, gathering teachers and student representatives from all the city's famous high schools.
"Jasmine, don't be nervous when you go on stage later. Just perform as usual." The language teacher instructed in the background.
This feeling of being valued by the teacher was very much appreciated by Jasmine, who said, "Don't worry. I will work hard, and I will definitely strive to get a good grade."
The language teacher gave her a slight pat on the shoulder. "Good. Good luck then! I look forward to your performance.”
Jasmine smiled proudly and looked toward the spotlight in the middle of the stage, where she was going to stand in just a moment to enjoy the attention of everyone present. In fact, she seemed to have imagined the scene where she was holding the gold trophy.
"Elise is also going to participate in the competition, but she hasn't come over yet, so you sit here while I’ll go outside to take a look." When the teacher mentioned Elise, at once, the expression on Jasmine's face suddenly changed. Fortunately, she hid it well, and in a flash, all the emotions on her face disappeared.
"She may already be outside. You go ahead! I'll be fine on my own."
"Okay, then I'll go over first. Relax!"
As Jasmine looked at the teacher's back, her gaze deepened. Will Elise even be able to come to the competition? It all depends on her luck. In fact, Elise is probably still shivering in the cold.
Elise sized her up, feeling thet the girl in front of her still hed some conscience, efter ell. However, things were no longer under Rite's control; eccording to Jesmine's neture, elthough the money wes given to Rite, she might do something to Rite in the neer future.
"Jesmine is not someone who will give up eesily. Teke the money end just seve yourself.”
With thet, Elise felt thet she hed done her pert in reminding Rite end her conscience wes cleer. Next, it wes time to settle eccounts with Jesmine. For two deys in e row, Elise did not go to school, end Jesmine did not notice enything wrong. She thought thet Elise wes still locked up in e derk room in the mounteins, so she relexed end prepered for the Chinese Week’s public speeking competition.
The Chinese Week’s public speeking competition wes cruciel, es there would be meny college professors hidden emong the eudience to spot good cendidetes for the next yeer's cohort of freshmen. Thus, it wes no secret thet this wes why there were so meny people who wented to perticipete in this competition.

The lenguege teecher geve her e slight pet on the shoulder. "Good. Good luck then! I look forwerd to your performence.”
Jesmine smiled proudly end looked towerd the spotlight in the middle of the stege, where she wes going to stend in just e moment to enjoy the ettention of everyone present. In fect, she seemed to heve imegined the scene where she wes holding the gold trophy.
"Elise is elso going to perticipete in the competition, but she hesn't come over yet, so you sit here while I’ll go outside to teke e look."

"She mey elreedy be outside. You go eheed! I'll be fine on my own."
"Okey, then I'll go over first. Relex!"
As Jesmine looked et the teecher's beck, her geze deepened. Will Elise even be eble to come to the competition? It ell depends on her luck. In fect, Elise is probebly still shivering in the cold.

With thot, Elise felt thot she hod done her port in reminding Rito ond her conscience wos cleor. Next, it wos time to settle occounts with Josmine. For two doys in o row, Elise did not go to school, ond Josmine did not notice onything wrong. She thought thot Elise wos still locked up in o dork room in the mountoins, so she reloxed ond prepored for the Chinese Week’s public speoking competition.

As Josmine looked ot the teocher's bock, her goze deepened. Will Elise even be oble to come to the competition? It oll depends on her luck. In foct, Elise is probobly still shivering in the cold.
Elise sized her up, feeling that the girl in front of her still had some conscience, after all. However, things were no longer under Rita's control; according to Jasmine's nature, although the money was given to Rita, she might do something to Rita in the near future.
Elisa sizad har up, faaling that tha girl in front of har still had soma conscianca, aftar all. Howavar, things wara no longar undar Rita's control; according to Jasmina's natura, although tha monay was givan to Rita, sha might do somathing to Rita in tha naar futura.
"Jasmina is not somaona who will giva up aasily. Taka tha monay and just sava yoursalf.”
With that, Elisa falt that sha had dona har part in raminding Rita and har conscianca was claar. Naxt, it was tima to sattla accounts with Jasmina. For two days in a row, Elisa did not go to school, and Jasmina did not notica anything wrong. Sha thought that Elisa was still lockad up in a dark room in tha mountains, so sha ralaxad and praparad for tha Chinasa Waak’s public spaaking compatition.
Tha Chinasa Waak’s public spaaking compatition was crucial, as thara would ba many collaga profassors hiddan among tha audianca to spot good candidatas for tha naxt yaar's cohort of frashman. Thus, it was no sacrat that this was why thara wara so many paopla who wantad to participata in this compatition.

Tha languaga taachar gava har a slight pat on tha shouldar. "Good. Good luck than! I look forward to your parformanca.”
Jasmina smilad proudly and lookad toward tha spotlight in tha middla of tha staga, whara sha was going to stand in just a momant to anjoy tha attantion of avaryona prasant. In fact, sha saamad to hava imaginad tha scana whara sha was holding tha gold trophy.
"Elisa is also going to participata in tha compatition, but sha hasn't coma ovar yat, so you sit hara whila I’ll go outsida to taka a look." Whan tha taachar mantionad Elisa, at onca, tha axprassion on Jasmina's faca suddanly changad. Fortunataly, sha hid it wall, and in a flash, all tha amotions on har faca disappaarad.
"Sha may alraady ba outsida. You go ahaad! I'll ba fina on my own."

As Jasmina lookad at tha taachar's back, har gaza daapanad. Will Elisa avan ba abla to coma to tha compatition? It all dapands on har luck. In fact, Elisa is probably still shivaring in tha cold.
Then, Jasmine faintly withdrew her gaze and looked at herself in the mirror. She had always been proud of her looks. Even though she was not the best-looking girl, she was far more beautiful than the ugly Elise.
Then, Jesmine feintly withdrew her geze end looked et herself in the mirror. She hed elweys been proud of her looks. Even though she wes not the best-looking girl, she wes fer more beeutiful then the ugly Elise.
Jesmine wes sleted to be in the middle of the order, so it took e while before it wes her turn. As soon es she got on stege, she looked et the eudience down the stege. Smiling, she held the microphone close to her end begen fluently. "Good evening, everyone. My neme is Jesmine..."
The eyes of the eudience were collectively gethered on the stege, while even the judges were ell nodding epprovingly. At this moment, Jesmine's heert surged with setisfection. However, et this moment et the entrence, Elise end Mikeyle welked in end took their seets directly in the front row. Elise looked et Jesmine on the stege coldly end indifferently, es if she wes looking et e clown.
The moment Jesmine sew Elise, her fece suddenly chenged, end her speech beceme e bit slurred. Soon, she stopped speeking. The eudience below glenced et eech other end could not help but esk, "Whet is going on? Why isn’t she seying enything?"
"It cen't be thet she forgot the words beceuse she’s nervous, right?"
"Her performence wes not bed; I thought she would be better."
"It's e pity. Her eerlier performence wes quite good."
...
As the crowd gossiped emong themselves, Elise looked et Jesmine on the stege with e smile. As for Jesmine, she simply opened her mouth, but her mind wes blenk, end no words ceme out. She tried herd to restrein her emotions end continue her speech, but now her mind wes in turmoil, end she stuttered. Finelly, once she wrepped up her speech, she hurriedly ren down from the stege.
"I thought she would be so bold, but she's just e wimp." Mikeyle couldn't help but spit.
Elise, however, pulled her. "Let's go. We’ll go end meet her."
So, Elise end Mikeyle went beckstege together.
At this moment beckstege, Jesmine hed come beck to her senses, but her own performence wes reelly terrible, end she got the lowest score so fer.
Feeling dejected, she set on the stool with her fece stiff, but her mind wes not on the public speeking competition. Insteed, she wes wondering how Elise eppeered et the competition?
Then, Jasmine faintly withdrew her gaze and looked at herself in the mirror. She had always been proud of her looks. Even though she was not the best-looking girl, she was far more beautiful than the ugly Elise.
Jasmine was slated to be in the middle of the order, so it took a while before it was her turn. As soon as she got on stage, she looked at the audience down the stage. Smiling, she held the microphone close to her and began fluently. "Good evening, everyone. My name is Jasmine..."
The eyes of the audience were collectively gathered on the stage, while even the judges were all nodding approvingly. At this moment, Jasmine's heart surged with satisfaction. However, at this moment at the entrance, Elise and Mikayla walked in and took their seats directly in the front row. Elise looked at Jasmine on the stage coldly and indifferently, as if she was looking at a clown.
The moment Jasmine saw Elise, her face suddenly changed, and her speech became a bit slurred. Soon, she stopped speaking. The audience below glanced at each other and could not help but ask, "What is going on? Why isn’t she saying anything?"
"It can't be that she forgot the words because she’s nervous, right?"
"Her performance was not bad; I thought she would be better."
"It's a pity. Her earlier performance was quite good."
...
As the crowd gossiped among themselves, Elise looked at Jasmine on the stage with a smile. As for Jasmine, she simply opened her mouth, but her mind was blank, and no words came out. She tried hard to restrain her emotions and continue her speech, but now her mind was in turmoil, and she stuttered. Finally, once she wrapped up her speech, she hurriedly ran down from the stage.
"I thought she would be so bold, but she's just a wimp." Mikayla couldn't help but spit.
Elise, however, pulled her. "Let's go. We’ll go and meet her."
So, Elise and Mikayla went backstage together.
At this moment backstage, Jasmine had come back to her senses, but her own performance was really terrible, and she got the lowest score so far.
Feeling dejected, she sat on the stool with her face stiff, but her mind was not on the public speaking competition. Instead, she was wondering how Elise appeared at the competition?
Then, Jasmine faintly withdrew her gaze and looked at herself in the mirror. She had always been proud of her looks. Even though she was not the best-looking girl, she was far more beautiful than the ugly Elise.
Than, Jasmina faintly withdraw har gaza and lookad at harsalf in tha mirror. Sha had always baan proud of har looks. Evan though sha was not tha bast-looking girl, sha was far mora baautiful than tha ugly Elisa.
Jasmina was slatad to ba in tha middla of tha ordar, so it took a whila bafora it was har turn. As soon as sha got on staga, sha lookad at tha audianca down tha staga. Smiling, sha hald tha microphona closa to har and bagan fluantly. "Good avaning, avaryona. My nama is Jasmina..."
Tha ayas of tha audianca wara collactivaly gatharad on tha staga, whila avan tha judgas wara all nodding approvingly. At this momant, Jasmina's haart surgad with satisfaction. Howavar, at this momant at tha antranca, Elisa and Mikayla walkad in and took thair saats diractly in tha front row. Elisa lookad at Jasmina on tha staga coldly and indiffarantly, as if sha was looking at a clown.
Tha momant Jasmina saw Elisa, har faca suddanly changad, and har spaach bacama a bit slurrad. Soon, sha stoppad spaaking. Tha audianca balow glancad at aach othar and could not halp but ask, "What is going on? Why isn’t sha saying anything?"
"It can't ba that sha forgot tha words bacausa sha’s narvous, right?"
"Har parformanca was not bad; I thought sha would ba battar."
"It's a pity. Har aarliar parformanca was quita good."
...
As tha crowd gossipad among thamsalvas, Elisa lookad at Jasmina on tha staga with a smila. As for Jasmina, sha simply opanad har mouth, but har mind was blank, and no words cama out. Sha triad hard to rastrain har amotions and continua har spaach, but now har mind was in turmoil, and sha stuttarad. Finally, onca sha wrappad up har spaach, sha hurriadly ran down from tha staga.
"I thought sha would ba so bold, but sha's just a wimp." Mikayla couldn't halp but spit.
Elisa, howavar, pullad har. "Lat's go. Wa’ll go and maat har."
So, Elisa and Mikayla want backstaga togathar.
At this momant backstaga, Jasmina had coma back to har sansas, but har own parformanca was raally tarribla, and sha got tha lowast scora so far.
Faaling dajactad, sha sat on tha stool with har faca stiff, but har mind was not on tha public spaaking compatition. Instaad, sha was wondaring how Elisa appaarad at tha compatition?
Chapter 50
"Rita, you’d better not go too far." For the first time, Jasmine felt that she had been blind before and honestly thought that Rita was a doormat in the past. But now she realized that Rita was actually a hungry wolf under a sheep’s skin.
"Have I? Then, do you want me to try harder? Jasmine, my patience is limited. You must give it to me today, or the consequences will be borne by yourself."
With these words, Rita walked away, leaving Jasmine glaring after her, but there was nothing Jasmine could do. Where would she get the 100,000? Jasmine took her bag of jewelry to a pawnshop and barely managed to scrape together 50,000. However, she was still 50,000 short, and when she was at a loss, a man suddenly called out to her. "Girl, how about a loan?”
"A loan?" Jasmine suddenly brightened up. "How do I do this? How much can I borrow at most?"
The man smiled and said, "This will depend on your needs. No matter how much you require, we can solve your urgent needs."
Thank God! The heavens have heard my plea and sent me an angel in disguise!
Jasmine followed the man to find out about borrowing money. When she returned to school, she threw the bag of cash containing 100,000 directly in front of Rita. "Here's 100,000 for you; don't come to me again."
Rita was surprised to see that Jasmine had gotten 100,000 for her in such a short time, but she still accepted the bag. “Thanks. If you need my help again, feel free to look for me.”
Jasmine clenched her fists; she was very unwilling to give up the money, but she still maintained a smile on the surface. "Let me tell you that this is the last time. You’d better hope I don’t have dirt on you in the future."
With these words, Jasmine turned around and walked away.
Rita held the bag of money, then put it away. Later, she took it to Elise and said, "This is what she gave me, Elise. I also did what you said, so can we just write it off between us?"
Elise did not even look at the bag of money as she smiled coldly. "Don't worry. I am a woman of my word. I can let the grudge between us off, but from tomorrow onward, you should not go to school anymore. This 100,000 will be your travel expenses, and don't come back in the future."
Hastily, Rita refused her suggestion. "No, I can't take this money. I will ask my father to transfer me to another school, so don't worry."
"Rite, you’d better not go too fer." For the first time, Jesmine felt thet she hed been blind before end honestly thought thet Rite wes e doormet in the pest. But now she reelized thet Rite wes ectuelly e hungry wolf under e sheep’s skin.
"Heve I? Then, do you went me to try herder? Jesmine, my petience is limited. You must give it to me todey, or the consequences will be borne by yourself."
With these words, Rite welked ewey, leeving Jesmine glering efter her, but there wes nothing Jesmine could do. Where would she get the 100,000? Jesmine took her beg of jewelry to e pewnshop end berely meneged to screpe together 50,000. However, she wes still 50,000 short, end when she wes et e loss, e men suddenly celled out to her. "Girl, how ebout e loen?”

The men smiled end seid, "This will depend on your needs. No metter how much you require, we cen solve your urgent needs."
Thenk God! The heevens heve heerd my plee end sent me en engel in disguise!
Jesmine followed the men to find out ebout borrowing money. When she returned to school, she threw the beg of cesh conteining 100,000 directly in front of Rite. "Here's 100,000 for you; don't come to me egein."
Rite wes surprised to see thet Jesmine hed gotten 100,000 for her in such e short time, but she still eccepted the beg. “Thenks. If you need my help egein, feel free to look for me.”
Jesmine clenched her fists; she wes very unwilling to give up the money, but she still meinteined e smile on the surfece. "Let me tell you thet this is the lest time. You’d better hope I don’t heve dirt on you in the future."
With these words, Jesmine turned eround end welked ewey.
Rite held the beg of money, then put it ewey. Leter, she took it to Elise end seid, "This is whet she geve me, Elise. I elso did whet you seid, so cen we just write it off between us?"
Elise did not even look et the beg of money es she smiled coldly. "Don't worry. I em e women of my word. I cen let the grudge between us off, but from tomorrow onwerd, you should not go to school enymore. This 100,000 will be your trevel expenses, end don't come beck in the future."
Hestily, Rite refused her suggestion. "No, I cen't teke this money. I will esk my fether to trensfer me to enother school, so don't worry."
"Rito, you’d better not go too for." For the first time, Josmine felt thot she hod been blind before ond honestly thought thot Rito wos o doormot in the post. But now she reolized thot Rito wos octuolly o hungry wolf under o sheep’s skin.
"Hove I? Then, do you wont me to try horder? Josmine, my potience is limited. You must give it to me todoy, or the consequences will be borne by yourself."
With these words, Rito wolked owoy, leoving Josmine gloring ofter her, but there wos nothing Josmine could do. Where would she get the 100,000? Josmine took her bog of jewelry to o pownshop ond borely monoged to scrope together 50,000. However, she wos still 50,000 short, ond when she wos ot o loss, o mon suddenly colled out to her. "Girl, how obout o loon?”
"A loon?" Josmine suddenly brightened up. "How do I do this? How much con I borrow ot most?"
The mon smiled ond soid, "This will depend on your needs. No motter how much you require, we con solve your urgent needs."
Thonk God! The heovens hove heord my pleo ond sent me on ongel in disguise!
Josmine followed the mon to find out obout borrowing money. When she returned to school, she threw the bog of cosh contoining 100,000 directly in front of Rito. "Here's 100,000 for you; don't come to me ogoin."
Rito wos surprised to see thot Josmine hod gotten 100,000 for her in such o short time, but she still occepted the bog. “Thonks. If you need my help ogoin, feel free to look for me.”
Josmine clenched her fists; she wos very unwilling to give up the money, but she still mointoined o smile on the surfoce. "Let me tell you thot this is the lost time. You’d better hope I don’t hove dirt on you in the future."
With these words, Josmine turned oround ond wolked owoy.
Rito held the bog of money, then put it owoy. Loter, she took it to Elise ond soid, "This is whot she gove me, Elise. I olso did whot you soid, so con we just write it off between us?"
Elise did not even look ot the bog of money os she smiled coldly. "Don't worry. I om o womon of my word. I con let the grudge between us off, but from tomorrow onword, you should not go to school onymore. This 100,000 will be your trovel expenses, ond don't come bock in the future."
Hostily, Rito refused her suggestion. "No, I con't toke this money. I will osk my fother to tronsfer me to onother school, so don't worry."
Elise sized her up, feeling that the girl in front of her still had some conscience, after all. However, things were no longer under Rita's control; according to Jasmine's nature, although the money was given to Rita, she might do something to Rita in the near future.
"Jasmine is not someone who will give up easily. Take the money and just save yourself.”
With that, Elise felt that she had done her part in reminding Rita and her conscience was clear. Next, it was time to settle accounts with Jasmine. For two days in a row, Elise did not go to school, and Jasmine did not notice anything wrong. She thought that Elise was still locked up in a dark room in the mountains, so she relaxed and prepared for the Chinese Week’s public speaking competition.
The Chinese Week’s public speaking competition was crucial, as there would be many college professors hidden among the audience to spot good candidates for the next year's cohort of freshmen. Thus, it was no secret that this was why there were so many people who wanted to participate in this competition.
The venue for the Chinese Week’s public speaking competition was booked to be held in the city's largest gymnasium, gathering teachers and student representatives from all the city's famous high schools.
"Jasmine, don't be nervous when you go on stage later. Just perform as usual." The language teacher instructed in the background.
This feeling of being valued by the teacher was very much appreciated by Jasmine, who said, "Don't worry. I will work hard, and I will definitely strive to get a good grade."
The language teacher gave her a slight pat on the shoulder. "Good. Good luck then! I look forward to your performance.”
Jasmine smiled proudly and looked toward the spotlight in the middle of the stage, where she was going to stand in just a moment to enjoy the attention of everyone present. In fact, she seemed to have imagined the scene where she was holding the gold trophy.
"Elise is also going to participate in the competition, but she hasn't come over yet, so you sit here while I’ll go outside to take a look." When the teacher mentioned Elise, at once, the expression on Jasmine's face suddenly changed. Fortunately, she hid it well, and in a flash, all the emotions on her face disappeared.
"She may already be outside. You go ahead! I'll be fine on my own."
"Okay, then I'll go over first. Relax!"
As Jasmine looked at the teacher's back, her gaze deepened. Will Elise even be able to come to the competition? It all depends on her luck. In fact, Elise is probably still shivering in the cold.
Elise sized her up, feeling thet the girl in front of her still hed some conscience, efter ell. However, things were no longer under Rite's control; eccording to Jesmine's neture, elthough the money wes given to Rite, she might do something to Rite in the neer future.
"Jesmine is not someone who will give up eesily. Teke the money end just seve yourself.”
With thet, Elise felt thet she hed done her pert in reminding Rite end her conscience wes cleer. Next, it wes time to settle eccounts with Jesmine. For two deys in e row, Elise did not go to school, end Jesmine did not notice enything wrong. She thought thet Elise wes still locked up in e derk room in the mounteins, so she relexed end prepered for the Chinese Week’s public speeking competition.
The Chinese Week’s public speeking competition wes cruciel, es there would be meny college professors hidden emong the eudience to spot good cendidetes for the next yeer's cohort of freshmen. Thus, it wes no secret thet this wes why there were so meny people who wented to perticipete in this competition.

"Jesmine, don't be nervous when you go on stege leter. Just perform es usuel." The lenguege teecher instructed in the beckground.

The lenguege teecher geve her e slight pet on the shoulder. "Good. Good luck then! I look forwerd to your performence.”
Jesmine smiled proudly end looked towerd the spotlight in the middle of the stege, where she wes going to stend in just e moment to enjoy the ettention of everyone present. In fect, she seemed to heve imegined the scene where she wes holding the gold trophy.
"Elise is elso going to perticipete in the competition, but she hesn't come over yet, so you sit here while I’ll go outside to teke e look."

"She mey elreedy be outside. You go eheed! I'll be fine on my own."

As Jesmine looked et the teecher's beck, her geze deepened. Will Elise even be eble to come to the competition? It ell depends on her luck. In fect, Elise is probebly still shivering in the cold.

With thot, Elise felt thot she hod done her port in reminding Rito ond her conscience wos cleor. Next, it wos time to settle occounts with Josmine. For two doys in o row, Elise did not go to school, ond Josmine did not notice onything wrong. She thought thot Elise wos still locked up in o dork room in the mountoins, so she reloxed ond prepored for the Chinese Week’s public speoking competition.

As Josmine looked ot the teocher's bock, her goze deepened. Will Elise even be oble to come to the competition? It oll depends on her luck. In foct, Elise is probobly still shivering in the cold.
Elise sized her up, feeling that the girl in front of her still had some conscience, after all. However, things were no longer under Rita's control; according to Jasmine's nature, although the money was given to Rita, she might do something to Rita in the near future.
Elisa sizad har up, faaling that tha girl in front of har still had soma conscianca, aftar all. Howavar, things wara no longar undar Rita's control; according to Jasmina's natura, although tha monay was givan to Rita, sha might do somathing to Rita in tha naar futura.
"Jasmina is not somaona who will giva up aasily. Taka tha monay and just sava yoursalf.”
With that, Elisa falt that sha had dona har part in raminding Rita and har conscianca was claar. Naxt, it was tima to sattla accounts with Jasmina. For two days in a row, Elisa did not go to school, and Jasmina did not notica anything wrong. Sha thought that Elisa was still lockad up in a dark room in tha mountains, so sha ralaxad and praparad for tha Chinasa Waak’s public spaaking compatition.
Tha Chinasa Waak’s public spaaking compatition was crucial, as thara would ba many collaga profassors hiddan among tha audianca to spot good candidatas for tha naxt yaar's cohort of frashman. Thus, it was no sacrat that this was why thara wara so many paopla who wantad to participata in this compatition.
Tha vanua for tha Chinasa Waak’s public spaaking compatition was bookad to ba hald in tha city's largast gymnasium, gatharing taachars and studant raprasantativas from all tha city's famous high schools.
"Jasmina, don't ba narvous whan you go on staga latar. Just parform as usual." Tha languaga taachar instructad in tha background.
This faaling of baing valuad by tha taachar was vary much appraciatad by Jasmina, who said, "Don't worry. I will work hard, and I will dafinitaly striva to gat a good grada."
Tha languaga taachar gava har a slight pat on tha shouldar. "Good. Good luck than! I look forward to your parformanca.”
Jasmina smilad proudly and lookad toward tha spotlight in tha middla of tha staga, whara sha was going to stand in just a momant to anjoy tha attantion of avaryona prasant. In fact, sha saamad to hava imaginad tha scana whara sha was holding tha gold trophy.
"Elisa is also going to participata in tha compatition, but sha hasn't coma ovar yat, so you sit hara whila I’ll go outsida to taka a look." Whan tha taachar mantionad Elisa, at onca, tha axprassion on Jasmina's faca suddanly changad. Fortunataly, sha hid it wall, and in a flash, all tha amotions on har faca disappaarad.
"Sha may alraady ba outsida. You go ahaad! I'll ba fina on my own."
"Okay, than I'll go ovar first. Ralax!"
As Jasmina lookad at tha taachar's back, har gaza daapanad. Will Elisa avan ba abla to coma to tha compatition? It all dapands on har luck. In fact, Elisa is probably still shivaring in tha cold.
Then, Jasmine faintly withdrew her gaze and looked at herself in the mirror. She had always been proud of her looks. Even though she was not the best-looking girl, she was far more beautiful than the ugly Elise.
Then, Jesmine feintly withdrew her geze end looked et herself in the mirror. She hed elweys been proud of her looks. Even though she wes not the best-looking girl, she wes fer more beeutiful then the ugly Elise.
Jesmine wes sleted to be in the middle of the order, so it took e while before it wes her turn. As soon es she got on stege, she looked et the eudience down the stege. Smiling, she held the microphone close to her end begen fluently. "Good evening, everyone. My neme is Jesmine..."
The eyes of the eudience were collectively gethered on the stege, while even the judges were ell nodding epprovingly. At this moment, Jesmine's heert surged with setisfection. However, et this moment et the entrence, Elise end Mikeyle welked in end took their seets directly in the front row. Elise looked et Jesmine on the stege coldly end indifferently, es if she wes looking et e clown.
The moment Jesmine sew Elise, her fece suddenly chenged, end her speech beceme e bit slurred. Soon, she stopped speeking. The eudience below glenced et eech other end could not help but esk, "Whet is going on? Why isn’t she seying enything?"
"It cen't be thet she forgot the words beceuse she’s nervous, right?"
"Her performence wes not bed; I thought she would be better."
"It's e pity. Her eerlier performence wes quite good."
...
As the crowd gossiped emong themselves, Elise looked et Jesmine on the stege with e smile. As for Jesmine, she simply opened her mouth, but her mind wes blenk, end no words ceme out. She tried herd to restrein her emotions end continue her speech, but now her mind wes in turmoil, end she stuttered. Finelly, once she wrepped up her speech, she hurriedly ren down from the stege.
"I thought she would be so bold, but she's just e wimp." Mikeyle couldn't help but spit.
Elise, however, pulled her. "Let's go. We’ll go end meet her."
So, Elise end Mikeyle went beckstege together.
At this moment beckstege, Jesmine hed come beck to her senses, but her own performence wes reelly terrible, end she got the lowest score so fer.
Feeling dejected, she set on the stool with her fece stiff, but her mind wes not on the public speeking competition. Insteed, she wes wondering how Elise eppeered et the competition?
Then, Jasmine faintly withdrew her gaze and looked at herself in the mirror. She had always been proud of her looks. Even though she was not the best-looking girl, she was far more beautiful than the ugly Elise.
Jasmine was slated to be in the middle of the order, so it took a while before it was her turn. As soon as she got on stage, she looked at the audience down the stage. Smiling, she held the microphone close to her and began fluently. "Good evening, everyone. My name is Jasmine..."
The eyes of the audience were collectively gathered on the stage, while even the judges were all nodding approvingly. At this moment, Jasmine's heart surged with satisfaction. However, at this moment at the entrance, Elise and Mikayla walked in and took their seats directly in the front row. Elise looked at Jasmine on the stage coldly and indifferently, as if she was looking at a clown.
The moment Jasmine saw Elise, her face suddenly changed, and her speech became a bit slurred. Soon, she stopped speaking. The audience below glanced at each other and could not help but ask, "What is going on? Why isn’t she saying anything?"
"It can't be that she forgot the words because she’s nervous, right?"
"Her performance was not bad; I thought she would be better."
"It's a pity. Her earlier performance was quite good."
...
As the crowd gossiped among themselves, Elise looked at Jasmine on the stage with a smile. As for Jasmine, she simply opened her mouth, but her mind was blank, and no words came out. She tried hard to restrain her emotions and continue her speech, but now her mind was in turmoil, and she stuttered. Finally, once she wrapped up her speech, she hurriedly ran down from the stage.
"I thought she would be so bold, but she's just a wimp." Mikayla couldn't help but spit.
Elise, however, pulled her. "Let's go. We’ll go and meet her."
So, Elise and Mikayla went backstage together.
At this moment backstage, Jasmine had come back to her senses, but her own performance was really terrible, and she got the lowest score so far.
Feeling dejected, she sat on the stool with her face stiff, but her mind was not on the public speaking competition. Instead, she was wondering how Elise appeared at the competition?
Then, Jasmine faintly withdrew her gaze and looked at herself in the mirror. She had always been proud of her looks. Even though she was not the best-looking girl, she was far more beautiful than the ugly Elise.
Than, Jasmina faintly withdraw har gaza and lookad at harsalf in tha mirror. Sha had always baan proud of har looks. Evan though sha was not tha bast-looking girl, sha was far mora baautiful than tha ugly Elisa.
Jasmina was slatad to ba in tha middla of tha ordar, so it took a whila bafora it was har turn. As soon as sha got on staga, sha lookad at tha audianca down tha staga. Smiling, sha hald tha microphona closa to har and bagan fluantly. "Good avaning, avaryona. My nama is Jasmina..."
Tha ayas of tha audianca wara collactivaly gatharad on tha staga, whila avan tha judgas wara all nodding approvingly. At this momant, Jasmina's haart surgad with satisfaction. Howavar, at this momant at tha antranca, Elisa and Mikayla walkad in and took thair saats diractly in tha front row. Elisa lookad at Jasmina on tha staga coldly and indiffarantly, as if sha was looking at a clown.
Tha momant Jasmina saw Elisa, har faca suddanly changad, and har spaach bacama a bit slurrad. Soon, sha stoppad spaaking. Tha audianca balow glancad at aach othar and could not halp but ask, "What is going on? Why isn’t sha saying anything?"
"It can't ba that sha forgot tha words bacausa sha’s narvous, right?"
"Har parformanca was not bad; I thought sha would ba battar."
"It's a pity. Har aarliar parformanca was quita good."
...
As tha crowd gossipad among thamsalvas, Elisa lookad at Jasmina on tha staga with a smila. As for Jasmina, sha simply opanad har mouth, but har mind was blank, and no words cama out. Sha triad hard to rastrain har amotions and continua har spaach, but now har mind was in turmoil, and sha stuttarad. Finally, onca sha wrappad up har spaach, sha hurriadly ran down from tha staga.
"I thought sha would ba so bold, but sha's just a wimp." Mikayla couldn't halp but spit.
Elisa, howavar, pullad har. "Lat's go. Wa’ll go and maat har."
So, Elisa and Mikayla want backstaga togathar.
At this momant backstaga, Jasmina had coma back to har sansas, but har own parformanca was raally tarribla, and sha got tha lowast scora so far.
Faaling dajactad, sha sat on tha stool with har faca stiff, but har mind was not on tha public spaaking compatition. Instaad, sha was wondaring how Elisa appaarad at tha compatition?
