The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142: 139 Professor of the Imperial University: Looking for student Ying Zijin [2 updates]

“She’s still your cousin, and you’re doubting her like this? Have no trust at all? Wanting to push her into the fire pit?” The Academic Director became increasingly angry as he spoke, “You must know what the consequences of cheating on an exam are, right?”

Cheating on an exam leads to direct expulsion and annulment of student status.

Moreover, no key high school in Hua Country would accept a student expelled by Verdant.

It’s no different from cutting off one’s future prospects completely.

“Zhong Zhiwan, I’m telling you, whether Ying Zijin cheated or not is crystal clear to the school teachers.” The Academic Director slammed the table fiercely, “You doubt her, you have no evidence, and when you cast your doubt, you must consider the consequences you’ll bear!”

The Academic Director’s outburst was relentless, showing no mercy just because Zhong Zhiwan was a girl.

Zhong Zhiwan’s face turned pale, her lips trembling fiercely with indignation.

As the top student of the grade and the young lady of the Zhong Family, she had never been reprimanded by a teacher like this before.

And it was all because of Ying Zijin.

Ying Zijin had quite the ability, even managing to win over the Academic Director.

A normal person, who would believe that someone could score full marks on the Elite Class test?

Even the college students at Imperial Capital University couldn’t do that.

Wasn’t her suspicion a perfectly normal reaction?

“Classmate Zhong Zhiwan, I’m suppressing this allegation for now,” the Principal’s tone was still somewhat mild, “If you still wish to doubt, then the school will deal with you directly. You have classes to attend, you should go back now.”

Zhong Zhiwan abruptly stood up, the force of her movement toppling the chair.

Her eyes were double red, and tears were forming, unable to hold back, she covered her face and ran away.

“Principal, this is too much.” The Academic Director was still fuming, “I don’t believe she’s the only one who thinks this way, there surely are many others who suspect Ying Zijin of cheating.”

Of course, that’s only human nature.

A student who always failed suddenly achieving full marks and ranking first in the grade—students would naturally be skeptical, and so would he.

But everything must be based on evidence.

Without evidence, on what grounds can someone be accused of cheating?

“Sigh.” The Principal shook his head, “The affairs of those families are too complicated, but this matter must be discussed. Let me think about it.”

Outside the Academic Affairs Building.

Zhong Zhiwan didn’t return to class but instead sat on the steps, continuously wiping away tears.

Fortunately, it was during class hours, so there weren’t many people around.

The more Zhong Zhiwan cried, the more wronged she felt, and very heartbroken.

If Ying Zijin hadn’t cheated, this term’s overall ranking would still undergo coefficient conversion.

Then, she would still be the top of her grade, not possibly leaving such a rubbish rank of 1001 in her record.

Such a score, she couldn’t even bring herself to show it to Lady Zhong at home.

After the midterm exam, there would be a parent-teacher meeting.

By then, what would all those parents think of her?

As Zhong Zhiwan was crying, a baffled and low voice sounded above her head.

“Classmate Zhong?”

Zhong Zhiwan hurriedly wiped her tears and looked up: “Teacher He.”

Seeing her swollen eyes, He Xun was taken aback: “What’s wrong with you?”

“It’s nothing, Teacher He, I just… I just don’t understand anymore, does Grandpa still care about me at all, to the extent that he even got the exam answers for my cousin.” Zhong Zhiwan said this and tears flowed again, her voice choked with sobs, “Is apologizing that difficult? Ying Zijin can’t lose face, but I can?”

The test papers might be sealed, but the answers were prepared early.

The school forum’s bet; Elder Zhong knew about it, so wouldn’t he have gotten the answers for Ying Zijin?

Never once considering her feelings.

He Xun frowned.

He had also come to see the Principal regarding Ying Zijin’s exam results.

That result, to be honest, was too fake.

Not to mention, when he supervised the inter-disciplinary exam, he had observed Ying Zijin answering carelessly.

And she scored full marks?

Ridiculous.

“Classmate Zhong, you should go back to class first; I have to see the Principal,” He Xun glanced at his watch, his expression cool, “Justice, it’s never too late.”

Elsewhere.

Biology Department Office.

Bai Shaoshi only had classes in the afternoon, so she didn’t come in the morning.

She went back to Imperial Capital during the five days of Labor Day break and didn’t grade any papers, so she was unaware of this term’s midterm exam scores and rankings.

As soon as she entered the office, Bai Shaoshi saw the other teachers looking at her with rather strange expressions.

She frowned, somewhat displeased: “Why are you all staring at me like that?”

One of the biology teachers coughed and asked, “Teacher Bai, do you know the rankings for this term yet?”

“I haven’t seen them yet; isn’t it the usual?” Bai Shaoshi responded dismissively, “The average score of my class must be the first in the grade.”

She led a science experimental class, and the kids in her class made her proud, ensuring her a hefty bonus.

“Teacher Bai, it’s different this time,” the biology teacher shook his head, “For biology, Class 19 has the highest average score in the grade.”

Bai Shaoshi halted in her steps, amused: “Which class did you say?”

Seeing her disbelief, the biology teacher simply turned the computer monitor toward her: “Look, Class 19 has an average score of 80.93, while your science experimental class is at 75.98.”
