Lu Rui put down his phone, pinched the bridge of his nose, and suddenly felt quite like a failure.
Qiaoqiao had been back for over a month and she never mentioned any discomfort, so he thought she was doing well and didn't need them to worry too much.
But she wasn't doing well, she simply didn't say anything.
While he was still proud of Qiaoqiao getting first place, he had no idea she was being accused of cheating just moments before.
Yet, after Qiaoqiao returned, she hadn't mentioned a word to them.
She probably didn't want to worry them, he thought. If only he had paid more attention to Qiaoqiao at the time…
Lu Rui's emotions were in turmoil.
Why hadn't Tingting told them about these things, did Qiaoqiao ask her not to? Or was there another reason?
And who started the rumor that Qiaoqiao had donated money to get in, how could they so recklessly spread such groundless rumors?
