Little Chenxi’s soft and sweet voice carried a tone of confusion.
But before Mo Chuxi could nod, she raised her chubby little hand to the top of her head.
With a quick "swish," she plucked out a strand of hair.
She giggled, her adorable expression reminding him of Yan Xinxin.
From the first time he saw her, he had felt that this child was Yan Xinxin’s daughter. However, after so many twists and turns, even Yan Xinxin herself didn’t realize—perhaps the daughter who was declared dead years ago was none other than the Mu Chenxi in front of him!
Yan Xinxin continued attending classes as usual, but Xu Nuo was nowhere to be seen. Instead, she noticed Ling Siyu had suddenly turned quiet and withdrawn.
After yesterday’s harsh blow, Ling Siyu kept silent over the next few days, meek as a chicken and not daring to say a word.
A week of training had come to an end, and tomorrow was the written test and hands-on skill examination.
"Xinxin, are you nervous? I heard they’ll use real diamonds for the test tomorrow. I’ve never worked with real diamonds before. And I heard a lot of industry professionals will be monitoring and evaluating us. I’m so nervous..."
Lu Chenxue clutched her chest and spoke anxiously.
Yan Xinxin nodded in agreement.
"I’ve also never made a product with real diamonds, and we don’t even know the theme of the exam yet. Honestly, I’m feeling a bit nervous too."
"Hah! Pretending again!"
Ling Siyu’s mockingly sarcastic voice passed by.
"Tomorrow will be all about skill. Depending on a man—even if you win, it’s not honorable!"
"Finding a good man to rely on is also a kind of skill."
Yan Xinxin responded coolly, her starry eyes lifting slightly.
Ling Siyu was fuming, so frustrated she nearly lunged at Yan Xinxin, but she truly didn’t have the guts right now.
Despite how furious she was, she could only hold it in!
Storming out of the classroom, Ling Siyu spotted their female mentor deep in conversation with a middle-aged man who looked like a professor.
"With real diamonds being used for this assessment, I believe the students will all exceed expectations."
"Tomorrow, many industry professionals will be attending as monitors and evaluators. It’s going to be a busy day for you, Teacher Li."
"Not at all. I’m also looking forward to seeing some excellent work, especially from Yan Xinxin. Her performance in professional courses back at school was outstanding. I have high expectations for her this time as well."
TMD*—it’s Yan Xinxin again!
Ling Siyu raged internally, grinding her teeth. A malicious idea popped into her mind...
To avoid getting caught in traffic, Yan Xinxin arrived at the exam venue half an hour early.
Yan Xinxin had a tiny habit—she liked to go to the restroom before exams to ease her nerves. Today was no exception.
However, just as she returned from the restroom, she saw Lu Chenxue hurrying toward her, looking anxious.
"Xinxin, I just went out to grab some breakfast, and as I was walking past the classroom door, I saw that Ling Siyu seemed to be up to something at your desk."
Yan Xinxin paused slightly.
"Thanks, Xue, I’ll go take a look."
That woman—planning another trick?
Yan Xinxin mused, pretending to return to the classroom nonchalantly. By now, many students were already gathered inside.
Ling Siyu, on the other hand, was sitting at her desk, looking like a model student engrossed in a book.
Yan Xinxin glanced at her chair. There didn’t seem to be anything unusual. On the chair, there was only her light jacket, which she had hung there earlier. Out of instinct, she reached into its pocket and, to her surprise, actually felt something!
She pulled the item out of her pocket and looked down.
Wasn’t this the 100 South African diamonds they were supposed to use for the assessment today? Worth over ten million!
"All students, please follow me to the testing room immediately."
The female mentor’s voice broke in. Yan Xinxin didn’t have time to deal with these baselessly planted diamonds.
Ling Siyu—clearly trying to frame her this time! Google seaʀᴄh ɴovelfire.net
But how would she fight back?
