Chapter 162: Answer Her Question
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Teacher Lang raised his head to glower at Huo Jinyan, then at Lu Ning.
“Hoh, so you people are going to cover it up to the end!” Huo Jinyan snapped, “Shut up!’
Teacher Lang was shocked and really did shut up.
“Answer her question from before.”
Teacher Lang had not listened to Lu Ning’s question carefully just now. After all, he only wanted to pin the blame on her.
From the side, Teacher Shen explained, “It’s a student from Teacher Lang’s class who informed us that someone in our class cheated. Then, Teacher Lang took the test paper from our class and checked it without permission. It turned out that the answers for Lu Ning’s and Qian Qian’s test papers were the same.”
Qian Qian’s grades had always been very good, so everyone thought it was Lu Ning who had cheated.
However, as Lu Ning’s teacher, Teacher Shen knew clearly that Lu Ning was not such a person, and besides, this was not her way of doing things. She never did any questions she did not have the answer to, and sometimes many of the questions on the tests she handed in were left blank. It was only when she was asked to fill them in that she would answer all of the questions, without consideration to whether her answers were right or wrong.
Moreover, even though Lu Ning’s grades were not good, she was not stupid. A score like this would be obviously wrong, so it was impossible that she would not realize that she would be suspect. Why would she frame herself like this?
Huo Jinyan looked towards Qian Qian. “You, tell me.”
Qian Qian jumped, a little frightened by Huo Jinyan.
Teacher Lang looked at Qian Qian. “Tell them, Qian Qian, you don’t have to be afraid. Did Lu Ning threaten you to help her cheat?”
Qian Qian bowed her head and did not speak; she pursed her lips tightly, her face flushed scarlet. She did not nod or shake her head—this was even more alarming than if she had simply nodded.
Lu Ning looked at her and could not help but snicker.
“Look, she’s even laughing! How shameless! She did something like this and embarrassed our school! Teacher Huo, don’t you think it’s shameful? And you’re actually covering for such a student?! ‘ I
Even at this moment, he was actually trying to sway Huo Jinyan to his side.
Huo Jinyan looked at him coldly and walked over; he sat on the chair by the window, and folded his legs. “Before things are made clear, I won’t stand for it should anyone slander Lu Ning again. Naturally, I’ll uncover the truth about my own student by myself.”
“There’s nothing else to uncover! Isn’t it already clear?!” Teacher Lang’s face was even filled with disbelief.
Huo Jinyan looked at him and stated firmly, “Lu Ning would never cheat.” Lu Ning looked up at him.
In this office, the truth was that everyone was more or less suspicious of Lu Ning. Even Teacher Shen had entertained the notion in her mind.
Huo Jinyan was the only one who completely believed that Lu Ning would never cheat.
‘Come here.”
Huo Jinyan looked at her and beckoned to her with his hand.
Lu Ning strode over and stood beside him.
“Which student reported it? Bring them here. Call everyone related to this matter over.”
Teacher Lang looked at Huo Jinyan. “Teacher Huo, what are you doing!? Are you actually going to intimidate the students?!”
Looking at him, Huo Jinyan suddenly scoffed. “Intimidation? What you did to my own students just now was worse than intimidation.”
Teacher Lang paused for a couple seconds and glared at Huo Jinyan, his face turning pale with anger.
Teacher Shen observed the situation in front of her and immediately said, “I’ll get them.”
Before she went out, Lu Ning called out from behind. “Teacher Shen, please call Jiang Yi from Class 3 as well.”
Teacher Shen was startled and turned to look at Lu Ning.
Jiang Yi? She didn’t seem to have anything to do with this.
But she did not say anything; she simply nodded and went out.
Qian Qian could not help but glance at Lu Ning. Lu Ning looked back at her and even grinned at her, looking a little mischievous..
