Chapter 206: Reputation Was Ruined

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Qin Yiyi continued to pack up her things without even lifting her head.

It was as if she had never thought that the fire would burn her in the end. Just as she was about to take her things and leave, she suddenly heard a soft exclamation behind her.

“The handwriting on this seems to be… Ah, it can’t be… she definitely won’t do that…”

“Hey, Qin Jiatong, what are you talking about? Do you recognize the handwriting on this?”

The person spoke with a loud voice. The sound immediately attracted the attention of many people.

The invigilator who was about to leave with the test paper stopped in his tracks.

“What’s going on?”

“Teacher, teacher, there’s a note here. Someone cheated.”

“Hey, there’s no name written on the paper. It’s useless to read it. Who knows who it is?”

“That’s not necessarily the case. The teacher has the test paper in his hands. We can check the handwriting.”

Someone suddenly said this in a low voice.

Immediately, everyone nodded in agreement.

There was even someone who added, “The few examinees nearby don’t leave yet. Let’s see who it belongs to.”

Qin Yiyi didn’t think too much about it.

She only glanced at Qin Jiatong, who was standing behind everyone. She suddenly felt like laughing.

This matter, could it be that Qin Jiatong deliberately targeted her?

If that was really the case…

She shook her head and simply took something and stopped there. Let’s take a look first.

“Oh right, didn’t Qin Jiatong say that she knows this handwriting?”

It was unknown who shouted this, but after that, he directly shouted at the top of his voice, “Teacher, teacher!”

“Teacher! Teacher! Qin Jiatong knows who this writing belongs to.”

The invigilator was a teacher of this school, so he naturally knew these students. When he heard this, his gaze fell on Qin Jiatong, “Student Qin Jiatong, if you really recognize this writing, just say it. Just like what you said before, what we want is fairness and fair treatment.” He paused for a moment, then suggested seriously, “If you think it’s inappropriate to say the same thing, how about you write it on a note for the teacher?”

“No, I, I don’t know…”

Qin Jiadong seemed to regret what she said earlier.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, she was a little terrified and shook her head.

“I, I really don’t know. You guys don’t have to ask me. I, I won’t tell you…”

When everyone heard her words, they all frowned. Even the invigilator wanted to say something.

She suddenly added another sentence.

“You guys don’t have to ask. Even if you ask me, I won’t tell you. Moreover, I feel that this matter is a misunderstanding. Really, sister, she…”

“Ah, no, no, it’s not sister’s handwriting…”

“Really.”

Everyone, “…”

Qin Yiyi, “…”

The invigilator, “…”

Qin Yiyi, who had eaten a melon, smiled helplessly.

As expected.

She put down the thing in her hand and smiled faintly, “Student Qin Jiatong recognized my handwriting with just a casual glance just now. So you pay so much attention to me. Tsk, I’m really flattered.” She tilted her head and smiled, her voice becoming more and more casual, “But Student Qin Jiatong, can you explain what you saw just now?”

“I, I didn’t see anything, really…”

“Sister, don’t be angry. I will definitely make things clear to everyone. It really wasn’t you.”

“You definitely wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Qin Jiatong’s face was full of sadness and grievance, but her heart was filled with pride.

‘Look, I just casually made a move, but I was able to cause this stinky girl’s reputation to be ruined!’

One had to know that at this moment, everyone was paying attention to Qin Yiyi with a strange look.

In their hearts, they were happy, and they wanted to immediately sing, “I’m so happy today!”

In the end, the invigilator directly called the person who had picked up the note, Qin Yiyi and Qin Jiatong to the office.

Because Qin Yiyi and Qin Jiatong were in the same class.

Teacher Zhou was quickly called over. Even though he already knew what had happened on the way here, Teacher Zhou was still very angry when he walked into the office.

“I say, Old Gu, are you mistaken? How could Qin Yiyi cheat?”

If it wasn’t for him repeatedly looking for her…

This girl wouldn’t have come to participate in the preliminaries, okay?

The quotas and whatnot, in this girl’s eyes, were really not worth anything.

Teacher Gu glanced at him, first handed the note over, then pointed at Qin Jiatong.

“This student said that the handwriting belongs to Qin Yiyi. As the form teacher, you should take a look too.”

Although, Teacher Gu also felt that Qin Yiyi wouldn’t do such a thing.

But the handwriting on it was almost exactly the same…

And up until now, other than saying that the note wasn’t hers, Qin Yiyi hadn’t said much.

In the eyes of others, this was almost equivalent to acquiescence.

It was guilt!

In fact, Qin Yiyi really just felt bored and that her methods were child’s play.

“Ai, Student Qin Yiyi, this handwriting really seems to be the same as yours…”

Teacher Gu spread his hands at the side, not saying a word, but he clearly seemed to be saying…

‘Look, look, look, now I’m not the only one saying this, right?’

Teacher Zhou didn’t believe it and looked at Qin Yiyi seriously.

“Student Qin Yiyi, teacher wants to hear your explanation.”

A hint of a smile flashed across Qin Yiyi’s eyes, “Teacher, what if I say that the words on this note weren’t written by me, but someone deliberately imitated my handwriting and threw it in to frame me when the exam was about to end?”

She raised her head and her eyes were indifferent. “Teacher, will you believe me?”

“Of course, teacher trusts his own student.”

Teacher Zhou’s words made Qin Jiatong’s eyes flash with anger.

She knew that this teacher had always been biased and did not take her seriously at all!

In his eyes, Qin Yiyi was a treasure and she was grass!

A wave of anger rose in her chest.

However, it was well concealed by her. She bit her lower lip and looked over with a stammering expression.

“Sister, teacher, I, I really didn’t say it on purpose just now. I, I was also shocked for a moment, that’s why…”

“You said it casually just because you were shocked for a moment?”

Teacher Zhou glanced at Qin Jiatong and his tone was very impatient, “You’re not a handwriting expert. You said such words in front of so many people and let them think about Qin Yiyi. Have you ever thought about what kind of misunderstanding this is? If you wrongly accuse others, you might cause them to suffer for the rest of their lives?”

Teacher Zhou didn’t think that his words were scaremongering.

For those with a bad mentality, it was fine if they couldn’t think things through for a while, but if they went to the ends of the earth…

If this mental state dissipated…

It would be extremely disadvantageous for the third year of high school next year.

But wasn’t it something that would last for the rest of their lives?!

He looked at Qin Jiatong and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. “You should have told the teacher first…”

It was all right now. The students who walked out of the classroom were probably calling Qin Yiyi a cheater..

He thought back to the time when Qin Yiyi had to retake the exam in order to prove her innocence.

He didn’t expect such a thing to happen now…

Teacher Zhou turned his head to look at Qin Yiyi, “Don’t worry about this matter. As long as you say that you didn’t become a cheater, I will definitely believe you. I will go and tell the principal. I will definitely get to the bottom of it. Don’t worry.” He wouldn’t simply malign any student in his class!

Of course, if that student really did something bad…

He would definitely not cover up for him!

Qin Yiyi pursed her lips and said with a serious expression, “Thank you, Teacher Zhou.”

The more she looked at him, the more she felt that old Zhou was a really good person!

‘Mmm, I’ll just not anger him a few times in the future, or I won’t really anger him to the point of causing trouble…’

Teacher Zhou?smiled bitterly at teacher Gu and nodded.

“I’ll have to trouble Teacher Gu with this matter. Let’s leave it at that for now. I’ll discuss it with the principal later.”

“Okay, then you go ahead.”

Teacher Gu walked out with the test papers in his hands.

Only Qin Yiyi, Qin Jiatong, and Teacher Zhou were left in the classroom.

Teacher Zhou didn’t want to stay any longer. He just waved his hand at the two girls.

“You guys should go back first. I’ll tell you guys when I have any results.”

In the end, he didn’t forget to give Qin Yiyi a few special instructions.

Qin Jiatong, who was completely ignored by him, had an ugly expression on her face. In the end, she couldn’t help but sneer and open her mouth.

“Teacher Zhou, you don’t believe me, right? You clearly see my sister’s handwriting every day and know what her handwriting looks like. However, you took a glance at that piece of paper and put it away. Now, you don’t even mention it. What? Are you trying to be biased to the end and help my sister smooth this matter over?”

“Teacher Zhou, I won’t agree to it.”

“You keep saying that it’s fair and just. But Teacher Zhou, have you ever been truly fair and just?”

“The hearts of you teachers, including the principal, are all crooked!”

“Since this matter can not be investigated clearly, I will go to the education bureau to find someone to explain it clearly.”

Teacher Zhou’s face turned green after hearing what she said.

His brows were tightly knitted together, “Student Qin Jiatong, you have to have evidence when you speak. Other than seeing this note and feeling that the handwriting is the same as student Qin Yiyi’s, do you have any other evidence? If you do, please take it out. If you don’t, then I will have to trouble you to not stop me from going out to do business.”

Qin Jiatong chuckled coldly.

“Since it’s for this matter, then sister and I should go and take a look together.”

“Sister, what do you think?”

Qin Jiatong’s tone was filled with provocation.

Do you dare to go together?

Qin Yiyi glanced at her as if she was looking at a fool.

This sister, they hadn’t seen each other for a few months. When she asked Lu Jinwan, she said that Qin Jiatong had been keeping a low profile.

She had been keeping a very low profile recently.

When she thought about it occasionally, she thought that Qin Jiatong had learned to keep a low profile.

But she didn’t expect that…

Oh, she was waiting for her here with her ultimate move.

Teacher Zhou’s brows could crush ten mosquitoes. He shot a warning glance at Qin Jiatong.

“We still have to accept the teachers’ arrangements. It’s useless for you to do your own thing now.”

He knew that Qin Jiatong was definitely worried about him and the school.

Teacher Zhou was not in a good mood. “You guys go back first…”

The two words “Classroom” were not finished yet.

Qin Yiyi opened her mouth with a smile, “Teacher Zhou, this matter has to be resolved sooner or later. Since the parties involved are all here, let’s go together and make this matter clear.” Tilting her head, she looked at Qin Jiatong, whose eyes were shining with determination. Qin Yiyi shook her head and looked at Teacher Zhou again. “Let’s go together.”

Teacher Zhou thought about it and also felt that this was not bad.

Moreover, he had some other thoughts in his heart, but he did not say it in front of a few people.

After hearing Qin Yiyi’s words, he immediately nodded.

“If that’s the case, then let’s go together.”

Qin Yiyi smiled as she followed him.

After taking a few steps forward, she suddenly turned around and her gaze met with Qin Jiatong’s eyes, which were filled with malice.

Once again, Qin Yiyi couldn’t help but sigh.

It was fine if Qin Jiatong’s mother and father didn’t treat her well, but it wouldn’t affect Qin Jiatong’s desire to get rid of her.

She felt that there was something wrong with Qin Jiatong’s attitude toward her.

But she couldn’t tell the exact details…

Forget it, forget it. Let’s get past this hurdle first.

There was someone in the principal’s office.

Coincidentally, Teacher Gu was also there.

He was invigilating the exam, so he naturally had to come over and inform the principal.

Teacher Zhou wasn’t surprised to see him. He just nodded and then looked at the principal and sighed.

“Principal, look at this matter…”

The principal did not wait for him to finish speaking and directly looked at Qin Yiyi. “How was it? How was the exam? I was thinking that you would be fine even if you didn’t take the exam this time. Sitting there for more than an hour is so tiring. Quickly sit down, I’ll pour tea for you…”

Qin Yiyi was really a little thirsty.

However, she did not dare to ask the principal to make tea for her. She brewed it herself and then poured herself a cup to drink slowly.

The more Qin Jiatong looked, the angrier she became. Without thinking, she took two steps forward.

“Principal, is this how you treat students who cheat?”

Qin Jiatong couldn’t take it anymore. She looked at the principal and sneered twice, “If you have this attitude, you definitely can’t handle this matter well. Since that’s the case, then I’d better go to the relevant departments and have a good talk.” Even now, the principal was still biased. Right, then. She would let them see if this matter could be turned into a small matter like what they had thought!

The principal’s expression was also a little ugly. “Student Qin Jiatong, is this how you talk to the principal?”

“I’m afraid that the respect for teachers and love for children that I usually teach you has all been in vain, right?”

“The attitude towards everyone is naturally different. Some teachers are worthy of respect, and some are…”

She looked at the principal and refused to budge an inch.

Qin Yiyi blinked her eyes, finding it a little funny.

This Qin Jiatong, was she planning to walk the path of solitary courage?

The heavens were pitying her. How did she force herself into such a situation?!

A loud and clear voice sounded from outside the office, “Principal, the item has been found, but it’s broken.”

How could it be broken?

Seeing a teacher walking in with a surveillance camera, Teacher Zhou’s eyes lit up.

“Is this the surveillance camera of that classroom? Hurry up and show it to me.”

If he could prove that this girl was innocent…

He would treat the whole class to milk tea later!

Qin Yiyi didn’t see that her teacher had made a wish in his heart. She stood there calmly and waited.

Qin Jiatong, on the other hand, looked at that teacher with a twinkle in her eyes.

Didn’t they say that they had already hijacked the surveillance cameras? How could there be another surveillance camera?!
