She was panicked; her face was flushed red and she bit her bottom lip. Turning around, she simply wanted to dash out.
However, she was stopped by Lin Ci.
“Where are you going?
Lin Ci looked at her, a benign smile on her lips.
However, Jiang Yi only wanted to shove her away and rush out; it was as if this matter would cease to exist if she ran out, as if it had nothing at all to do with her.
Lin Ci held her arm tightly. “Don’t be afraid, Jiang Yi. As long as you make it clear that you have nothing to do with this, we won’t stop you.”
Jiang Yi looked at Lin Ci, her eyes teary.
How could I have nothing to do with this? The key piece of evidence lies with me! If no one else reveals the truth, then I’m the one who allowed Lu Ning to be framed, I’ll be the person who has to bear all the responsibility.
I can’t let this happen! I mustn’t have such a blemish on my record! If my parents ever found out…
Jiang Yi was flustered, and she could not run out; she turned towards Li Yue’an, took a few steps forward, and suddenly latched onto her arm.
“You promised me! You said we-”
“Shut up!’
Lù Yue’an interrupted her cruelly.
Qian Qian also turned to look at Lù Yue’an. She then turned around to look at the entire class which was blocking the door.
There’s no running away… Regardless of how this ends, I won’t be able to stay in my class anymore. Nobody will probably want to talk to me in the future..
Lu Ning looked at them and smiled, her legs swinging in the air.
“Doesn’t anyone have anything to say? You have the guts to do it, yet you don’t dare to admit it was your doing. So, Teacher Lang, these are the students you’ve taught?”
Teacher Lang glared at Lu Ning.
He turned to glance at Huo Jinyan; he had an inkling that Lu Ning was taking revenge on him for saying that Huo Jinyan did not know how to keep his students in line.
Teacher Lang turned towards Lu Ning again. “What exactly do you want?! Lu Ning looked at him calmly. “Well, do you think I cheated?”
Teacher Lang clenched his fists and glared at Lu Ning with bloodshot eyes, as though he had suffered some grievous insult.
He kept his mouth shut and did not speak. Jiang Yi could barely stand it anymore.
She looked towards Teacher Lang, and another student standing behind him also tugged at his shirt from behind; she was the one who had reported it together with Lù Yue’an. Neither did she want to be issued a demerit by the school because of this matter, lest her parents learnt of it and kicked up a fuss.
Sensing his students’ desperation, Teacher Lang clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on his arms bulged.
“Fine! Let’s just say that you didn’t cheat!” Lu Ning snickered. “Let’s just say?
She kept her eyes locked on Teacher Lang.
Teacher Lang gulped. He looked at Lu Ning and finally decided not to pursue the matter.
I can’t afford to let all the good students in my class be implicated because of her alone.
This Lu Ning is insane!
“Fine! You didn’t cheat.”
Lu Ning looked at him and chuckled. “I see. I guess I didn’t cheat after all.”
Teacher Lang disregarded her sarcasm, only wanting to leave with everyone else. “Since you didn’t cheat, this matter ends here. Don’t disrupt everyone’s lessons because of you, hurry up, get out and head to class.”
Even at the very end, he still had to pin Lu Ning with some fault.
Sitting on the desk, Lu Ning gazed up towards Huo Jinyan.
Huo Jinyan returned her phone to her.
As Lu Ning turned on her phone, she said, “Don’t be in such a hurry, Teacher Lang. If you can’t recall what you said just now, I’ll help jog your memory.”
After she tapped on her phone’s screen a few times, Teacher Langs voice echoed through the entire office.
“Of course I have to give you a demerit, and submit a letter of warning! Your behavior is extremely…
