After Old Master Jia finished speaking, he stood up and headed toward the study. Everyone else quickly got to their feet as well, but none gave Ling Ruobing a glance, all moving away. Even her mother, Liang Yuemei, who had always shown her daughter great affection, didn't spare Ling Ruobing a look, following the others out. This shattered the hopeful heart of Ling Ruobing, who had been watching her mother the entire time.
Originally, Situ Xin thought that Ling Ruobing wouldn't come to the exam, but to her surprise, when she arrived in the classroom in the morning, she actually saw Ling Ruobing sitting at her own desk. Some girls who had arrived earlier were whispering in pairs or groups, speaking ill of Ling Ruobing.
However, Ling Ruobing showed no reaction to the others' gossip, and kept her head down, busying herself with her own matters. When Situ Xin and the others arrived, Ling Ruobing lifted her head and looked towards them.
