The tearful Ye Ying expressed deep disappointment and unrelievable guilt. “I knew it. I knew that I shouldn’t have promised you. You’ve never admitted to anything that happens. You only blame me every time.”
“You’re baffled but I’m even more baffled!”
A leader of Provincial No.2 Middle School was there too. When he saw Ye Ying, the surprise on his face was no less than Principal Cao’s. Hearing that, he said in a deep voice, “Ye Ying, don’t cry first. Let’s talk! You’re taking the university entrance examination now. It’s not an ordinary exam!”
“Yes, Ye Jian. If you have anything to say, say it properly. Hurry up and say it! After you’re done, hurry up and go back for the exam.” Principal Cao would never be slower than others when it came to protecting his own people. He glanced at the principal of Provincial No.2 Middle School and smiled at Ye Jian. “Girl, why do you always make people jealous?”
Ye Ying, who was forced to leave back then, came back again… She created trouble. How much did her family hate Ye Jian? How much did they hate her for trying to ruin her university entrance examination?! They made trouble again and again!
Principal Cao might be smiling, but he was actually suppressing his anger.
How could Ye Zhifan, a provincial government official, do such despicable things over and over again?
Ye Ying, who was afraid that she would be disadvantaged, quickly changed the topic. She wiped her tears and repeated what happened with a determined look in her eyes. “I don’t need to cheat for my results. All the teachers of Provincial No.2 Middle School know that.”
“When Ye Jian came to me, I hesitated at first. But she begged me too much. My heart softened and I gritted my teeth and agreed. Who knew that… when I sent the note out, I was too nervous and didn’t succeed. The teacher found out.”
“Teacher, I’m responsible for my own actions. This is my fault. I admit my mistake! Ye Jian didn’t get my note. She failed to cheat. Please let her go and let her take the exam.”
She said it so beautifully but all the teachers present shook their heads when they heard it. She was too naive. Did she think that she would be fine just like that? Being caught for cheating during the university entrance examination was not an ordinary serious matter. She had to be reported to the Provincial Bureau of Education and it would be recorded on her personal record for the rest of her life!
The leader of Provincial No.2 Middle School was so angry that he slammed his palm on the table and scolded, “Foolish! Before the university entrance examination, all of you were repeatedly warned during the pep assembly to not help others cheat on account of your feelings. Once you are caught, no matter how you explain the cheating, if the situation is serious, you will be disqualified from the university entrance examination!”
“Ye Jian, did you hear that? You must remember that you can’t help others cheat because of your feelings,” Principal Cao said with a serious expression. He didn’t say anything about settling the situation. Instead, he reminded Ye Jian not to learn from Ye Ying and harm herself.
The leader of the Provincial Bureau of Education looked at Ye Ying’s admission ticket and then at Ye Jian’s admission ticket. His gaze landed on Ye Jian, who was not a stranger to the Provincial Bureau of Education. He asked in a low voice, “Ye Jian, what do you have to say?”
Ye Jian, who set her aspiration as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, asking a student from Provincial No.2 Middle School for answers. Principal Cao didn’t believe it, and neither did the Provincial Bureau of Education.
Ye Jian smiled and said calmly, “Just now, everyone heard that Ye Ying said that she was going to pass the answers to me. However, she was too nervous and didn’t succeed. I want to confirm it with her.” Then, she turned her gaze to Ye Ying, who was ‘full of righteousness’. “I’m sorry. Can you say it again? I’m afraid that the leaders here didn’t hear it clearly.”
