"Qingyi, the headteacher wants you in the office."
After learning that Lu Qingyi had scored 600 points, many classmates from the 20th class started calling her "Sister Qing." Of course, some were still resentful and hard to please.
Lu Qingyi squinted her eyes.
"I heard someone accused you of cheating."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, they're saying it's impossible for Lu Qingyi to score 600 points."
"Really? I was in the same exam room as her, she answered the questions at lightning speed."
"The test was set by Hardrick's most famous professor, the exam papers arrived this morning unopened. It is impossible for Lu Qingyi to know the answers in advance."
Cheating?
Ha.
Lu Qingyi curled the corner of her lips in amusement.
"Lu Qingyi, someone has accused you of cheating."
"Reporting" and then pushing open the office door, the headteacher, Lan Guanghua, said with a frown.
His niece, Lan Xi, was the one who had accused Lu Qingyi of cheating, and he had Lu Qingyi's file laid out in front of him.
She had completed primary and middle school in a small town, and there was a gap in her resume after middle school graduation, as she had not attended high school.
Lu Qingyi retorted, "What do you think?"
The steps to answer the questions she had written on the exam paper were much simpler than the reference answers.
"Headteacher Lan, I guarantee with my teaching qualification that Qingyi from our class has not cheated or used any unfair methods."
Yang Liu pushed open the office door with certainty, in her high heels.
Lu Qingyi's eyes were clear, and she believed that Qingyi had not cheated.
Furthermore, Lu Qingyi's steps to solve the problems were not the same as the reference answers, and it was clear to the discerning eye that her steps were simpler.
"Lu, I also want to trust you. Before anyone reported, I didn't suspect you. Look at this, just look at it."
In some helplessness, Lan Guanghua tossed her personal file onto the table.
The three bold characters of her name 'Lu Qingyi' were extraordinarily eye-catching.
"Headteacher, do you need me to take the test on the spot?"
Lu Qingyi glanced at the file and immediately understood.
She had erased something, after her middle school graduation, others could not find out about it.
Wanting to prove herself, perhaps because of Yang Liu's trust in her.
"Alright, stay after school to do a set of last year's college entrance exam difficult questions, under my supervision."
Lan Guanghua is not a teacher who likes to wrong his students, he respects each one of them.
He would not rush to accuse a student of anything before having it confirmed.
Lu Qingyi frowned, looking impatient: "I can do it now, it won't take much time."
After school, she was going to have dinner.
She planned to have dinner with Xu Boyan.
Although Lan Guanghua thought the girl was overconfident, he took out the test paper: "a combined science paper worth 300 points."
There were three pages total, for Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
Lu Qingyi picked up the pen and began to write on the test paper quickly, her speed was as if she didn't need to think at all.
About twenty minutes per page, in less than an hour, she had finished all three pages.
Lu Qingyi twisted her neck and got up nonchalantly: "I'm going first, 250."
250?
Yang Liu and Lan Guanghua looked at each other in confusion, is she cursing at them?
Lan Guanghua quickly went over Lu Qingyi's answers and found that they were all correct.
She had left one question worth 10 points in each subject blank, two fill-in-the-blank questions worth 3 points each, and one choice question in Chemistry left blank, scoring a total of 250 points.
Considering the number Lu Qingyi had said before she left, they couldn't help but admire the magnate.
"Teacher Yang, you have really picked up a treasure."
Lan Guanghua said excitedly, caressing the test paper.
Her score prediction was also very impressive.
As if she already knew the answers, this girl was really something.
——
"Sister Qing, is everything alright?"
The plagiarism-like incident was known to many, and Jiang Yumeng asked out of concern.
She believed in Lu Qingyi.
Lu Qingyi shook her head: "I'm fine."
"Did you prove it to the headteacher?"
Xun Hanyu asked out of curiosity.
Lu Qingyi hummed lightly.
"Sister Qing, can you tell me how you manage to score a hundred in every subject?"
Sharing the sentiments of a small fangirl, Jiang Yumeng's starry eyes gazed at Lu Qingyi without blinking.
Lu Qingyi looked down at the novel in her hand, answering softly: "One family must be neatly and uniformly dealt with."
Jiang Yumeng: "..."
Xun Hanyu: "..."
Did the boss intentionally score like this?
"Lu Qingyi, being in the 20th class and having poor grades won't matter, but you plagiarizing is wrong."
Lan Xi dragged Lu Jiayue into the 20th class and arrogantly accused Lu Qingyi.
Yes, she was the one who reported.
Whether Lu Qingyi cheated or not was not yet known to Lan Xi, as Lan Guanghua had not had a chance to inform her.
Lu Qingyi lifted her eyes, smiling ambiguously at the unfamiliar girl before her and then at the guilt-ridden Lu Jiayue. She instantly understood.
In the final analysis, this incident had something to do with Lu Jiayue.
"Lu Qingyi, have you received your punishment? Tsk, you're just a country bumpkin, don't think I'll look up to you just because you're the young miss of the Lu family. At the end of the day, you grew up in the countryside."
Lan Xi slapped down on Lu Qingyi's desk, lifting her chin up and posing haughtily.
"Sister, I... didn't do it on purpose. Xi is upfront and tends to dislike this kind of thing... I didn't..."
Lu Jiayue lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Lu Qingyi, her tangled hands kept clutching at the corners of her clothes, looking pitifully indecisive.
"I'm sorry," Lu Qingyi paused, "I didn't receive any punishment, and I've verified the authenticity of my score with the headteacher."
"Hey, are you jealous because your score isn't as high as sister Qing's?"
Jiang Yumeng spoke up with obvious dislike.
She had disliked Lan Xi for not just a day or two, coming over to mock the 20th class for no reason, making it seem like she felt superior for being in the 1st class.
Her score wasn't even that good.
"Lan Xi, is this fun?" Xun Hanyu frowned, "The 20th class isn't somewhere you can just barge into."
"Lan Xi, we're also human in the 20th class, please respect us."
"I've been tolerating you for not just a day or two."
"Get out of the 20th class and go back to your own 1st class."
"This time I really don't want to put up with it."
"Pah, do you all think you're all that noble in the 1st class?"
"Our score may not be good, but that doesn't mean we can tolerate your repeated humiliations."
The students of the 20th class were quickly upset, Lan Xi had come to mock the 20th class time and time again, acting all high and mighty.
The 20th class finally had a high-scoring student emerge, and she actually came over to accuse someone of cheating before the headteacher had even spoken.
"Pah, all of you in the 20th class are nothing but trash."
The attitude of the 20th class made her feel somewhat humiliated.
"Sorry, Xi always speaks like this, let me apologize for her."
Lu Jiayue bowed slightly, saying extremely apologetically.
"Yueyue, let's go."
Lan Xi furrowed her brows and walked away, dragging Lu Jiayue with her.
Lu Jiayue was just too kind-hearted, what harm was there in her calling those who didn't study hard and had poor grades, trash?
