Your Highness, The Class Monitor Episode 30 Recap
> Your Highness, The Class Monitor Recap
The classroom descended into chaos as students expressed their dissatisfaction with Su Nian Nian, feeling manipulated after news of her contract with the university broke. He Mei, seizing the opportunity, fueled their discontent, questioning why Su Nian Nian would hide such a deal if she was truly honest. She went further, accusing Su Nian Nian of being ruthless, reminiscent of her high school days, and using the class for her own gain while suppressing their individuality.
Ye Xing Yu attempted to defend Su Nian Nian's sincerity, suggesting the leaker had ulterior motives, while Yin Chuxia fiercely countered He Mei, stating it was Su Nian Nian's private matter. However, swayed by He Mei's provocations, the students eventually abandoned their studies and left the classroom. Enraged by He Mei's actions, Gu Zi Chen confronted her, telling her to stop. He pulled her outside the classroom, where she angrily accused him of tricking her despite knowing her feelings.
She recounted how she had sacrificed her pride for him, even influencing her father to invest in Hao Cheng. He Mei reminded Gu Zi Chen that their parents had long arranged their marriage and threatened to withdraw her father's investment from Hao Cheng, highlighting the devastating consequences for his family's company if he didn't comply.
Gu Zi Chen apologized for his past actions but firmly reiterated that he could not force his feelings, and his heart belonged only to Su Nian Nian, emphasizing that they could never be together, regardless of Su Nian Nian. Disgusted by He Mei's manipulative tactics and her attempt to use business for personal gain, Gu Zi Chen declared that any previous guilt he felt towards her had vanished, replaced by disdain.
He firmly stated that neither he, his father, nor their company would ever agree to such a transactional marriage. He Mei, infuriated, vowed not to forget his words before leaving. Zhao Mingyuan, worried about Su Nian Nian, discussed the situation with Song Yuxi and The Three Remarkable of Qun Ying. Song Yuxi defended Su Nian Nian's character, assuring them she would never use her classmates selfishly.
She then revealed that Su Nian Nian had secretly arranged for her father to send many taxi drivers to Zhao Mingyuan's repair shop to boost his business. Zhao Mingyuan was shocked, recalling the recent influx of customers who claimed to be "here because of your fame," and realizing it was Su Nian Nian's doing. Touched by her discreet kindness, he felt remorse for his previous self-pity and immediately wanted to help her.
His friends, including Yin Chuxia and Song Yuxi, agreed to support Su Nian Nian, but decided to stay out of the romantic entanglements between her, Gu Zi Chen, and He Mei, focusing instead on countering He Mei's bullying. Driven by his new understanding, Zhao Mingyuan, along with Chen Yuan and Zhu Cheng, forcefully gathered the reluctant students back into the classroom. Meanwhile, Su Nian Nian went to Mr. Jiang Mu, confessing the class strike and taking full responsibility.
She asked for her contract back. Despite being worried about the principal's reaction, Mr. Jiang Mu praised Su Nian Nian's growth as a class monitor and supported her decision to resolve the issue. Once all the students were reluctantly seated, Su Nian Nian stood before them. She apologized for not disclosing the contract, explaining that it was a confidentiality agreement. She candidly shared her initial despair at joining Qun Ying and her desire to re-study.
However, she confessed that through her interactions with them, she had fallen in love with the Mechanical Class II and the university, forgetting all about her plans to re-study. To demonstrate her sincerity and her genuine commitment to them, she dramatically tore up her contract in front of everyone, earning enthusiastic applause. Mr. Jiang Mu then urged the class to unite and refocus on their academic projects.
Meanwhile, Gu Zi Chen's parents, Mei Lin and Gu Wei Ye, were embroiled in a heated argument over recent events, leading Mei Lin to move into a hotel. Gu Zi Chen visited his mother, attempting to persuade her to return home. He explained that the misunderstanding about Su Nian Nian being his father's daughter had been resolved.
However, Mei Lin admitted her reluctance to reconcile, still hurt by Gu Wei Ye secretly keeping and crying over pictures of another woman, Aunt Xiao Ru. Gu Zi Chen attributed her anger to jealousy and urged her to trust his father more, emphasizing the importance of family harmony.
When she remained stubborn, Gu Zi Chen resorted to reverse psychology, dramatically suggesting she divorce his father and that Gu Wei Ye, who he claimed was sick and crying for her to return, deserved to live alone while Mei Lin took control of Hao Cheng, a company saved by her own father. This tactic worked, prompting Mei Lin to defend Gu Wei Ye and reveal her true feelings.
She then asked for time to process everything, specifically her difficulty accepting Su Nian Nian into their family. Su Nian Nian, after her identity crisis, apologized to her father, Su Dazhi, for having secretly rummaged through his belongings and for doubting if she was his biological daughter. She told him she now understood his good intentions for opposing her repeating school, as it was out of concern for her health.
Su Dazhi expressed his relief that his daughter was no longer upset and was glad he wouldn't have to tell her about the car accident from that year. Su Nian Nian also mentioned that Gu Wei Ye was sponsoring their current competition, reinforcing her commitment to doing well, and proudly told him about tearing up her contract with QYU, which Su Dazhi wholeheartedly supported, as long as she was happy.
When Su Nian Nian tried to ask about her birth mother's death, Su Dazhi avoided the topic, stating that medical science wasn't advanced enough for a confirmed diagnosis back then and that he didn't wish to dwell on it, indicating it was a painful memory. Later, at a noodle shop, Zhao Mingyuan was surprised to find his younger sister, Xiao Jia, eating with his good friend, Ye Xing Yu.
Neither had realized the other's connection to Zhao Mingyuan, as Ye Xing Yu had been tutoring Xiao Jia. Touched by Ye Xing Yu's kindness, Zhao Mingyuan tried to treat him to a celebratory meal. However, Ye Xing Yu, understanding Zhao Mingyuan's financial situation, suggested they postpone the big meal until Xiao Jia successfully got into a key junior high school. The three of them then happily enjoyed their noodles together.
