The more Chen Jie looked at the exam paper, the brighter his eyes became. When Zhou Siyu finished and looked up, she saw Chen Jie looking at the exam paper with a thrilled face. Out of curiosity, she sneakily glanced at the name on the paper when she turned hers in, and her expression instantly changed.
She glared at Shen Mianmian with hatred and stormed back to her seat, huffing angrily.
If she wasn’t wrong, Shen Mianmian must have scored well again this time, otherwise, Teacher Chen wouldn’t be so happy.
Had Shen Mianmian been possessed by the spirit of the Literary Star? How could her studies have improved so quickly?
Could it really be because of Lu Siyuan’s tutoring?
No, that’s not right, she must have cheated off Lu Siyuan, especially since they’re sitting together now.
Teacher Chen is just a foolish egg, easily deceived by Shen Mianmian.
"Siyu, why did you turn in your exam so quickly?" Zhao Xinlan complained anxiously. She was planning to copy a few answers from Zhou Siyu after she finished, but before she knew it, Zhou Siyu had already handed in her paper.
A flash of annoyance crossed Zhou Siyu’s eyes, but she pretended to be innocent on the surface, "The questions this time were quite easy, I thought you knew them all, so I turned in my exam."
This exam was different from the previous ones, those who made great progress would get sweets—rewards meant for those who did well academically. Why should Zhao Xinlan get any?
If she wanted some, she’d have to earn them herself.
Zhao Xinlan was speechless and had no choice but to guess wildly on several questions.
The junior high school minor test papers were graded by the teachers themselves, and Li Qiumei, due to her personal bias, intentionally left Shen Mianmian’s paper for last.
Most of the students performed decently this time, at least those she had high hopes for did well, so she was generally very satisfied. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
But as she graded Shen Mianmian’s paper, her expression grew worse the more she read. After finishing the essay, she was so angry that she slammed her hand on the desk, startling Chen Jie who was sitting opposite her grading papers, along with the other teachers.
The principal looked at her disapprovingly, "Teacher Li, why are you so startled?"
"Shen Mianmian cheated." Li Qiumei declared emphatically, slapping the test paper and beckoning the other teachers and the principal to look, "This girl doesn’t even draft when she cheats; she dares to be so blatant."
The principal walked over with a stern face, "How did you discover she cheated?"
When a teacher accuses a student of cheating, they can’t just say it; they need evidence.
They had already had a misunderstanding before, and if it happened again and word got out, others might ridicule their school, and even the Education Bureau would get involved.
"Look at the test paper, she actually scored first place in the class. Do you think that’s possible? She is a student I taught; do I not know her regular level?"
Li Qiumei, as if she had grasped a fox’s tail, wasn’t angry inside; on the contrary, she was excited.
Although the principal also found it incredible that Shen Mianmian scored first place, cheating to rank at the top was something they had never seen before.
"Teacher Li, you can’t accuse someone of cheating just because they scored first place. If this gets out, what will people think of our school?"
"That’s easy." Li Qiumei said, "Call her in and give her a few questions to answer on the spot, and she’ll reveal herself immediately."
After last term’s finals, they should have given Shen Mianmian a few questions to solve, but unfortunately, the principal and Teacher Hu held back, otherwise, this girl would have shown her true colors long ago.
