The Year Head said carefully, “Think about this carefully, Xi Yan. If they’re proven to have cheated, your teaching career will also be destroyed.”
Xi Yan looked resolute. “I’ve already thought about this carefully. I trust them.”
Luo Songhua scoffed. “What overestimation. Let’s see them get expelled!”
The Year Head said, “Go to Class Twenty and bring Meng Jinyang and Shen Huan here.”
A teacher stood up. “I’ll go.”
“Wait,” said Xi Yan.
Luo Songhua said disdainfully, “What? Regretting it already?”
Xi Yan glared at her coldly before looking at the Year Head. “I have a request. If it’s proven that they did not cheat, then everyone here must apologize to both of them.”
Luo Songhua crossed her legs, leaned back in her seat and smiled. “If they didn’t cheat, not only will I apologize, I will open my doors to them if they want to enroll in Class One.”
Xi Yan stared silently at the Year Head.
The Year Head was silent for a few seconds. “Sure, if it’s proven that they did not cheat, I will apologize to them personally.”
“Alright. Please bring them in, Mr. Wang,” said Xi Yan.
…
A math class was going on in Class Twenty and the atmosphere was lethargic.
Just then.
“Mr. Chen,” shouted Mr. Wang from the door of Class Twenty. Instantly, every student in the class became alert and looked over. “I’m here to get Meng Jinyang and Shen Huan.”
Mr. Chen looked at the two girls with a deep gaze. “Go.”
Meng Jinyang and Shen Huan stood up and walked out, puzzled.
Gu Mang’s cool eyes watched the two girls walk out. After thinking for a few seconds, she stood up and said, “Teacher, I want to go to the restroom.”
Mr. Chen immediately remembered Gu Mang’s zero on her exam. She was the only one who scored a zero in the entire school.
He sighed and waved a hand. “Go.”
The tips of Gu Mang’s lips lifted slightly and she turned to walk out from the back door.
Lu Yang watched the girl leave and knitted his eyebrows together in internal conflict. In the end, he could not summon enough courage to follow her out.
He felt that if he were to be criticized by the school, his father would tell him he did a great job. If Gu Mang was criticized, his own father would probably tear the entire school down.
…
Gu Mang walked to the Year Three’s meeting room and saw Xi Yan leaning on the railing near the door.
Upon seeing Gu Mang, Xi Yan was shocked and stood up straight. “Gu Mang, why are you here and not in class?”
Gu Mang stuffed both her hands in her pockets and walked lazily to her side. She rested her elbows on the railing carelessly, letting her wrist hang off the side. Pointing her chin towards the meeting room beside them, she asked, “Are they taking a retest in there?”
Xi Yan nodded, thinking that Gu Mang was worried about Meng Jinyang. She said, “Relax, I know that Meng Jinyang did not cheat. Class Twenty is going to win this time!”
Gu Mang looked at her with a profound gaze and said nothing.
She lowered her eyelids and tapped the tip of her foot on the floor but her lips slowly curled up into a smirk.
If she had known that Luo Songhua would not admit defeat so easily, she would have used her real ability to shut her up.
