Chapter 354: Was Quite Dirty

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Ci’s shattered rationality gradually returned to her.

What... What had she just done?

She had deliberately torn Ning Li’s sleeve in front of so many people!

Everyone present was smart. Who could not tell that she had done it on purpose?

Zhou Fei stared at her with an extremely cold gaze.

“Did you think that Ning Li would be like you, hiding a cheat sheet in her sleeve?”

Ye Ci felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

How could there not be...

How could there not be!?

Although she had only taken a glance at the slip of paper that had fallen out of her sleeve, she was certain that it was not the one that she had prepared!

That was why she had insisted that she had never seen it before, and why she had continued to think that the slip of paper in Ning Li’s sleeve was still there.

But...

Surprisingly, nothing was there!

Ning Li’s sleeve was clean!

The teachers looked at each other and their faces darkened.

Not only had Ye Ci cheated, but now she also wanted to slander others?

She had a special relationship with Ning Li. How could she do such a thing?

Ning Li looked down at the torn sleeve and said softly, “What a pity. I can’t keep this jacket anymore.”

...

The inspection team’s car drove out of Capital First High.

Zhou Fei left the office with Ning Li and Ye Ci.

His expression was very calm.

“Ye Ci, on your parents’ side, will you be making the call or should I make the call for you?”

Currently, Ye Ci’s eyes were red and swollen, and her face was still full of tears. She was in a very sorry state.

She had been in a trance ever since she had walked out of the office.

When she heard Zhou Fei’s words, she suddenly shivered and objected without thinking.

“No! No way!”

This call... could not be made!

Zhou Fei did not seem surprised by her reaction. He nodded and said in a calm tone, “Okay, then I’ll make the call.”

The provincial government and the school would soon find out about this matter.

Thus, Ye Ci’s parents would have to be notified as well.

By now, the three of them had already gone downstairs.

Pei Song was standing downstairs.

He heard their voices and looked over.

“Teacher Zhou.”

His gaze quickly swept past Ye Ci’s face, not surprised by her wretched appearance.

She had been caught red-handed with a cheat sheet in the examination room. Ye Ci’s fate did not concern him.

He then looked at Ning Li, his gaze pausing for a moment on her torn sleeve as he frowned slightly.

This was...

“Pei Song, you haven’t gone back yet?”

Zhou Fei was not in the mood.

After all that had happened, he was extremely tired.

He had already noticed that there was something wrong with Ye Ci’s results, so why had he not enquired further about it?

Now that she had done this, it was too late to regret it!

“Forget it, let’s go back to the hotel first.”

As he said this, he stuffed his phone back into his pocket.

Seeing this, Ning Li remembered that her phone was still switched off.

She took her phone out of her bag and turned it on. At the same time, she took off her down jacket.

When she passed a trash can, she pretended to throw the jacket in.

When Ye Ci saw this, she was so angry that her whole body trembled.

Ning Li turned her head and saw Ye Ci before she had time to withdraw her gaze, which was full of resentment.

She thought for a moment and smiled. She took a step forward to Ye CI and asked softly,

“The other sleeve hasn’t been checked yet, right? If you want to see it, I’ll give it to you.”

As she said that, she handed the down jacket over.

The bright and rich red color made Ye Ci’s eyes ache.

At this moment, she was very sure that Ning Li had done it on purpose!

Not only had Ning Li thrown away the note that Ye Ci had hidden in her sleeve, but she had also even stuffed one back into Ye Ci’s sleeve!

From the beginning to the end, it was clear that Ning Li had deliberately framed her to kill her!

Ye Ci’s lungs were about to explode.

She wanted to curse out loud and expose all of this!

However, countless words were stuck in her throat, and she could not voice them out loud, no matter how hard she tried.

She did not even know when Ning Li had done these things, so how could she find evidence of it!?

In the end, it would only prove that she had been the one who had framed Ning Li first!

More importantly, no matter what, the matter of her cheating had already been set in stone!

The more words and actions there were, the more mistakes there would be!

The most important thing now was how to resolve the matter of her being punished for cheating.

However, was this not easier said than done?

“If you don’t want it, then I’ll throw it away.”

As Ning Li spoke, she lifted her wrist.

The down jacket was thrown into the trash can.

She took a look.

“It’s quite dirty.”

How could Ye Ci not hear the implication and mockery in her words? Her anger surged, and she felt so suffocated till she could not breathe.

Ning Li did not seem to notice it, or rather, she did not care even if she did see it.

She lifted her foot and walked forward.

Pei Song was observing from the side. He could roughly guess what had happened in the office.

Seeing that Ning Li was only wearing a sweater, he placed his hand on the zipper of his coat.

Before he could make a move, Ning Li’s phone lit up and she picked up the call.

“Second Brother?”

Pei Song’s hand paused.

“Yes, I just finished the exam. I was delayed by something and only just came out.”

Ning Li spoke, not knowing what the other party had just said. She raised her head and looked at the school gate in front of her.

With surprise in her voice, she said, “You’re here?”

Outside the gate, she spotted a tall and handsome figure.

At the same time, Lu Huaiyu also saw her.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Then, he lifted his leg and walked over.

The main gate was locked, leaving only a small open door at the side.

The entrance to Capital First High School was very strict, especially since today was the final exam venue for the Physics competition. One needed an identification card to enter and exit.

Ning Li said, “Second Brother, you don’t have to come in. We’ll be right out–”

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Lu Huaiyu and the old guard who had just arrived at the small door to open the door happily.

“Are you here to pick up a student again?”

Lu Huaiyu smiled and nodded before smoothly walking in.

Ning Li, “...”

Lu Huaiyu came to stand before her.

Before she could speak, a coat appeared around her body.

The coat was warm as if it had just been ironed, and the familiar scent of cedar emanated from it.

He rubbed her hair, his voice low and gentle.

“Are you cold?”
