Switched Life:I Went Viral on a Family Variety Show-Chapter 61: Put the Knife to One’s Head

Chu Tian placed great importance on the education of his children. His daughter, at the very least, had to have a bachelor’s degree.

When Chu Tian learned that Chu Xi had dropped out during her senior year of high school, he sent her to a high-end private school without hesitation. After recording this program, she would obediently return to complete her senior year.

Netizens were shocked that Chu Xi, at the age of 20, was still in high school.

[I just can’t understand what kind of personal issues could make Chu Xi pause her studies for several years. Although she’s not super famous, it seems she’s been acting all these years.]

[Why else? Being a celebrity earns more money than studying, especially since Chu Xi has Chu Tian to back her up.]

[Looking at it this way, Sang Ning really stands out. At least she properly completed her education.]

[Fun fact: Although Sang Ning got into the film academy with rock-bottom scores in her academic courses, she used to be a prodigy who skipped two grades, getting into the academy at 16.]

[I was still playing in the mud at 16, while she was already starting college. Looks like Sang Ning does have some skills.]

Chu Wei remained silent, while Sang Ning ignored her and continued explaining the key points.

Chu Xi felt humiliated and buried her head like an ostrich.

"Chu Xi, raise your head and listen carefully," Sang Ning said sternly when she saw Chu Xi lower her head.

Chu Xi raised her head and looked at Sang Ning, her face full of confusion.

Sang Ning met her gaze and said seriously, "It was one thing if you didn’t attend my class earlier, but now that you’re sitting here, you’re not allowed to zone out. You must remember everything I say!"

Chu Xi: ???

Did her ears just betray her? Did Sang Ning actually say something coherent?

Sang Ning didn’t care about Chu Xi’s thoughts. Her eyes darted to Sang Chuan and Song Shiye, and she sharply said, "Reminding Chu Xi also applies to you two. I hate effort that yields no results. Those I tutor must honor my efforts with their grades. If any of you fail a test, I swear I’ll chase you down to the ends of the earth!"

Sang Chuan: ???

Song Shiye: ???

What did this have to do with them?

[I’m floored. Is this what they call a bandit-style teaching method?]

[Ahhh! I wish I had a bandit teacher to put a knife to my neck and force me to study every day. Why isn’t Sang Ning my sister?!]

[Sang Ning: Once aboard my pirate ship, there’s no getting off—unless you die off.]

Chu Xi refused to back down. She stood up and confronted Sang Ning, "I don’t want to listen to your lessons anymore. Are you seriously saying I can’t quit halfway through?"

"You can," Sang Ning replied, nodding expressionlessly. "But only if you can perfectly recite the key points I just taught."

"What?!" Chu Xi’s jaw dropped in disbelief. "You’re being ridiculously overbearing."

Sang Ning glanced at Chu Xi nonchalantly, her emotions completely unmoved, and said leisurely, "This is me protecting my reputation. If you mess up in the future and someone asks who taught you, what if you throw me under the bus?"

[Sang Ning seriously reminds me of my math teacher. He always gave heartfelt lectures about mastering his lessons fully. If we messed up, it would reflect badly on him.]

[It may seem rigid, but it’s actually about accountability. Self-disciplined students might manage, but those without self-regulation need a teacher like Sang Ning.]

Chu Xi wanted to leave, but for some reason, when she met Sang Ning’s fierce, steely gaze, her legs refused to move. It was as if they’d been weighted down, utterly immobile.

Slowly, haltingly, Chu Xi began reciting the key points Sang Ning had just taught. She didn’t even realize that she’d unintentionally absorbed so much knowledge.

"Hey, what are you doing over here?"

Li Sulan spotted Chu Xi standing with her head down in front of Sang Ning, looking like a reprimanded schoolchild. She immediately raised her voice to intervene.

Sang Ning had caused Chu Xi to fall down the stairs not long ago, and now, what trouble was she plotting?

As she spoke, Li Sulan hurried over, grabbing Chu Xi by one hand and pointing an accusatory finger at Sang Ning with the other.

"Sang Ning, what are you doing to my daughter?"

A calm, even voice replied, "I’m tutoring her in biology."

"Hah?" Li Sulan chuckled as though she’d just heard the most absurd joke of the year. "The Chu family can hire any gold-star tutor they want. Do we need a third-rate minor celebrity like you to teach her?"

[Here we go again! Li Sulan literally acts like the village’s gossip generator. This holier-than-thou attitude is seriously annoying.]

[Compared to Li Sulan, I find Hu Zhi and Sang Youming much more endearing—they’re at least genuine.]

After venting her frustrations, Li Sulan dragged Chu Xi away.

She admitted that Sang Ning had been a gifted student since childhood. Neither she nor Chu Tian had ever needed to worry about Sang Ning’s academics—she had even skipped grades.

During Sang Ning’s college entrance exam year, everyone assumed she’d top the charts as the science champion. But shockingly, she scored at the bottom and barely qualified for film academy.

And with grades like those, she had the nerve to tutor Chu Xi?

After being pulled away, Chu Xi’s first feeling was relief. Li Sulan had finally "rescued" her from Sang Ning’s clutches.

Then, an inner "What the hell?" echoed in her mind. Was the person standing before Sang Ning really her?

Had she been possessed? How else could she have memorized so much knowledge?

This couldn’t have been Sang Ning’s tutoring prowess—it had to be her IQ finally kicking in.

Once Chu Tian hired a top-tier tutor for her, Tsinghua University and Beijing University were practically within her grasp. She’d soon become the next academic genius of the entertainment industry, following Wen Jiu’s footsteps.

After Li Sulan whisked away Chu Xi, Sang Ning turned to evict Chu Wei. "Chu Xi is gone. You can leave too, no?"

"I’m not leaving. What can you do about it?" Chu Wei made a silly face at Sang Ning.

"I can kick you!" Sang Ning said nonchalantly as she moved toward Chu Wei, raising her foot threateningly.

Chu Wei quickly jumped up, brushed the dust off her pants, and ran far away, tossing taunts back at Sang Ning as she fled.

"Fine, I’ll leave! Pretty girls talk things out—they don’t use their fists. If you throw punches, you’re just a little dog!"

Now that Chu Wei was gone, Sang Ning could finally speed up her teaching progress. Keeping this troublemaker around would only waste more time.

After all, Chu Wei had already finished her college entrance exams. The knowledge wouldn’t be of much use to her, so skipping it wouldn’t matter.

After leaving, Chu Wei wasn’t ready to let it go. She was determined to prove Sang Ning wrong.

She pestered the filming crew for ages until they reluctantly gave her a phone.

Under the crew’s watchful eyes, she searched the knowledge points she had argued about with Sang Ning online.

Confident in herself, Chu Wei didn’t even glance at the results before taking a screenshot. She handed the phone back to the crew.

Next time she saw Sang Ning, she’d confront her with this screenshot, determined to make Sang Ning admit defeat. Only then would she sleep peacefully that night.
