Chapter 165: She Forced Me
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He did not believe that Lu Ning was innocent at all. Lu Ning smiled at him. “Do you mean what you said?”
“Of course! And what are you trying to do?”
Teacher Lang was getting a little impatient.
Lu Ning adjusted her stance and stared at him. “If it’s instigated by the students from your class, then also have them come with you to apologize to me everyday for a week, and submit letters of warning for each of them.”
“Sure, but why would my students cheat?”
Teacher Lang looked at her incredulously.
Raising her eyebrows, Lu Ning glanced at him.
“Don’t go back on your word when the time comes.”
Just as Teacher Lang was about to say something, sobs abruptly sounded out from somewhere in the office.
Having received a look from Lù Yue’an, Qian Qian lowered her head and began to bawl.
She cried so pitifully.
The teachers were shocked.
“Qian Qian, what’s wrong?”
Standing beside her, Teacher Shen bent down to ask her.
Qian Qian sobbed as she wiped her tears. “I… I… I don’t know… I..
She spoke intermittently, but ultimately she could not say anything.
Teacher Lang walked closer as he watched her. “Qian Qian, just say what you want to say, don’t be afraid. The teachers are all here, no one will do anything to you.”
As he said the last part, he shot a glance at Lu Ning.
Hearing that, Lu Ning’s grin widened.
That infuriated Teacher Lang.
Qian Qian stammered as she sobbed and choked. “I… I didn’t, I didn’t do it willingly. It was her; she forced me.” “Forced you? Who forced you? And forced you to do what?”
Teacher Lang continued to probe.
These questions hit the nail on the head.
Qian Qian was still crying, and her sobs made one’s heart ache.
“It’s… it’s… it’s Lu Ning…” As she spoke, she peered upwards at Lu Ning; as though frightened, she then frantically lowered her head.
Lu Ning wanted to laugh, but she had to hold it in. After all, she had been putting on an act so seriously and earnestly.
Teacher Shen looked at her in disbelief.
However, Teacher Lang was exhilarated, and he leaned in closer, directly shoving Teacher Shen aside. “What did Lu Ning make you do?”
He continued leading her along.
Teacher Shen looked towards Lu Ning worriedly, but Lu Ning still seemed relaxed.
She even had the time to glance at her and give her a look of reassurance.
Teacher Shen could not help but admire Lu Ning’s mental fortitude. In a situation like this, even a person who had not done anything would begin to panic and want to prove their innocence. However, Lu Ning stood by the side, steadfast, and watched others accuse her as if she was simply watching a drama.
The entire office was filled with Qian Qian’s sobbing.
“She… she made me, during the exam… she made me pass the answers to her during the exam… and, she wouldn’t even let me tell anyone…”
Teacher Lang asked again, “She threatened you?!”
Qian Qian nodded, aggrieved.
“What did she say? Tell me!”
Teacher Lang exclaimed self-righteously.
Qian Qian looked towards Lu Ning fearfully.
“Don’t be afraid, tell me! With so many teachers around, I doubt she’ll dare to try anything! Just tell us, the teachers are keeping an eye on her!”
Galvanized by his words, Qian Qian wiped her tears and articulated clearly, “She told me that if I dared to spread news about this, she would teach me a lesson. She also said that even if she’s left the Ltl family, the Ltl family still acknowledged her as their daughter; so if it came down to it, she could easily drive me out of school, and my parents could also forget about living well.
“My parents are all working for the Lù company. I-I’m scared. I don’t dare to say anything..
As she finished speaking, she wailed even louder. She looked very much the part of the pitiable victim.
Teacher Lang straightened up and glared at Lu Ning.
“I didn’t expect that a young student could be so vicious! I’m truly ashamed of you! You scum! Why did the school admit a student like you?!”
