Chapter 183 - 183: Jiang Yining, Did You Steal the Exam Paper?
The next day, Jiang Yining’s vacation ended, and she returned to school.
It was also the day the school released the results of the mid-term exams.
Xiao Yeyu sat in her seat, her fingers twirling her long curly hair, looking confident.
She didn’t care much about her grades.
She still has to inherit the family business, no matter how well she learned.
However, being able to have outstanding results was a bonus.
Therefore, before the exam, she asked someone to get the exam questions in advance and tutor her on the questions.
The exam questions this time were more difficult.
Li Mingli, who was tutoring her, had written down the answers to a few questions, but she could not memorize them.
Thinking that others wouldn’t be able to answer them, she didn’t care.
Although she couldn’t get full marks for every subject, she was still confident about being at the top!
Jiang Yining didn’t care about her exam results. She opened her textbook and read a medical book that she had just picked up.
It was filled with herbal prescriptions, and many of the words were ancient characters.
Ye Xiaoxi leaned over and watched her curiously for a while. She couldn’t help but mutter, “Yining, what do these worm-like words mean? Can you really understand it?”
“These are small seal scripts. I know a little about it.”
Jiang Yining took notes as she spoke.
“Wow, you’re so amazing.” Ye Xiaoxi admired her from the bottom of her heart.
Xiao Yeyu snorted coldly in her heart. “Bootlicker!”
Ye Xiaoxi was Jiang Yining’s bootlicker. No matter what Jiang Yining did, she would always praise her.
It was probably because of this that she was able to win Jiang Yining’s favor.
“Be quiet. The teacher is here and is about to announce the results.”
Xiao Yeyu said happily.
Ye Xiaoxi’s face immediately wrinkled. “Ah, the results are about to be announced. I messed up this time. I probably won’t have the chance to apply for a national scholarship this year.”
Xiao Yeyu smiled disdainfully and pretended to comfort her, “Don’t worry, 1 did very badly too. This time, the questions were more difficult. It was the same for everyone.”
“Yes, it’s quite difficult.”
Ye Xiaoxi nodded in agreement.
While the two of them were talking, Li Mingli had already placed the test paper on the lecture table and said, “The exam questions this time were more difficult, but there were still a few students in our class who did well. Now, I’ll announce the results of the examination to everyone. Only the top five students would be announced. The other students shall continue to work hard and strive for good results in the final exam.”
“Fifth place, Yang Yue. Fourth place, Sun Chen.”
Every time Li Mingli called out a single student’s name, the class would exclaim.
“Third place, Wang Lin.”
The third place was announced, but Xiao Yeyu’s name was not heard.
She frowned.
No way!
She didn’t even enter the top five? Didn’t Li Mingli say that she would definitely enter the top five?
Just as she was doubting if Li Mingli had lied to her–
“Second place, Xiao Yeyu.” Li Mingli praised happily, “Xiao Yeyu had transferred to our class not long ago. She must have put in a lot of effort to get such results. Everyone, you have to learn from her, understand?”
“Got it.”
The students answered in unison.
Li Mingli paused for a moment before slowly announcing, “The first place in our class for this exam is…”
“Jiang Yining.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom that had just quieted down suddenly became noisy.
Wow!
Jiang Yining was hiding her true colors!
She was usually so low-key, but she actually got first place!
This was too surprising!
Li Mingli was feeling rather proud as he looked at Jiang Yining with a smile on his face.
Back then, Zhang Ai even despised her when she was transferring to their school.
It was all good now.
He had picked up a treasure. If Zhang Ai knew that Jiang Yining was so outstanding…
She would definitely regret it!
After class, he was going to show off to Zhang Ai!
Xiao Yeyu was originally in high spirits, but when she heard that Jiang Yining was in the first place, she was instantly green with envy.
Why was Jiang Yining so lucky?
She obtained so much after marrying Lu Zhi, and she even became the top student in the exam!
Xiao Yeyu’s hands, which were hidden under the table, clenched into fists.
However, she still smiled and said, “Congratulations, Yining.”
“Yining, you’re amazing!”
Ye Xiaoxi clapped her hands, feeling even happier than if she had gotten the first place.
Jiang Yining was a little surprised.
She did a few questions incorrectly on purpose. How could she still get first place?
“It’s nothing. It’s just that the questions for this exam are coincidentally similar to the ones I’ve done before.”
“That’s because you are capable.”
Ye Xiaoxi said happily.
“Alright, take back all the test papers and start focusing on class.” Just as Li Mingli finished speaking, the classroom door was pushed open from the outside.
Immediately after, Zhang Ai angrily walked to the podium and said to Li Mingli, “Did a student in your class steal the test papers?”
“Don’t talk nonsense and slander my students.”
Li Mingli was protective of his students, so he naturally wouldn’t admit that his students had stolen the test paper.
“Nonsense? The computer in my office was hacked. Our school’s technician said that someone copied a test paper from the computer!” Zhang Ai swept her gaze across the crowd and said sternly. “You’re all university students. Aren’t you afraid of embarrassing yourselves by doing such a thing? All of you are the top talents in the country and the pride of Qing University, but someone wants to fake their results. If this gets out, people will laugh at us!”
The students exploded with a buzz.
Qing University had always been rigorous in its studies and ordered that academic fraud was prohibited.
Now, someone actually dared to steal the test papers?
Wasn’t this despicable?
Zhang Ai’s gaze finally fell on Jiang Yining and said in a strange tone, “Now, I’ll give you one last chance. Whoever stole the test paper, admit obediently. 1’11 plead with the school so that you’ll only fail the current exam, and only a major demerit will be recorded. In the future, you’ll still be a student of Qing University if you study hard.”
She had already checked the school’s exam results.
She knew that Jiang Yining had gotten the first place.
Zhang Ai remembered clearly that Jiang Yining had used her connections to get into Qing University.
Students like her usually had poor grades.
How could she have made such great progress in just two months and become a top student?
Therefore, she was certain that Jiang Yining stole the exam paper.
Jiang Yining looked at her indifferently.
There was no fear.
However, Xiao Yeyu was scared to death.
She spent 14,000 dollars on a hacker to hack into the school’s computer to get the exam questions.
The other party promised her that no one would find out.
But now that the matter had been exposed…
What should she do?
She would definitely not admit it!
Otherwise, the whole school would know that she was vain and had faked her exam results.
But if she didn’t step out, Zhang Ai wouldn’t let this matter rest.
Just as she was hesitating, Zhang Ai said coldly again, “None of you are willing to admit, right? I’ll call you out.”
“Jiang Yining, did you do the exam based on your own ability?”
As soon as she said that, Xiao Yeyu was stunned for a moment, then she heaved a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yining looked up and answered calmly, “Yes.”
“Zhang Ai, what is the meaning of this?” Li Mingli also stood up and said. “Without solid evidence, how could you accuse Jiang Yining of stealing the exam papers? Do you know the seriousness of this slander is to a student?”
“Of course, I have evidence if 1 suspect her,” Zhang Ai replied. “If she can do such a difficult test, she must be able to do other tests too, right? Now, 1’11 come up with a new set of test papers on the spot and let her do it. If she doesn’t get the same results, it will prove that she is not capable! Then, she would be the one who stole the exam paper this time!”
Li Mingli was furious that the veins on his forehead were popping. “You’re simply messing around!”
“Jiang Yining, do you dare to do another set of test papers?” Zhang Ai ignored him and provoked Jiang Yining directly.
Jiang Yining paused for two seconds and said, “1 dare. However, if I also get good results, what do you plan to do?”
“If you can do it, I’ll kneel down and apologize to you in front of the entire school!”
Zhang Ai knew that she couldn’t do it, so she didn’t leave any room for negotiation.
“Alright, that’s what you said.”
Jiang Yining smiled faintly and accepted the challenge..
