Chapter 53: The More She Said Now, The More Hurt She Would Be Later
Qin Muxiao liked Ming Yeqing very much, but Ming Yeqing took Tan Mo’s side again. Today, he mercilessly dissed her in front of their teacher and classmates. How could Qin Muxiao stand it?
Qin Muxiao blurted out, “I demand that the examination papers of Tan Mo and Ming Yeqing be carefully re-inspected!”
“Qin Muxiao, do you know what you’re talking about?” Teacher Huang asked seriously.
At this time, Li Xingyun, Gu Xiaonan, Yu Zhengxuan, Mu Ziyi, and Xu Huaiyan saw Wei Zhiqian and Qin Mufeng standing by the door.
Since coming today, the five children had been keeping watch of the door. They didn’t pay much attention to their test results.
The five students had been on full alert. When Qin Muxiao stood up and questioned Tan Mo, Wei Zhiqian and Qin Mufeng also happened to arrive.
Qin Mufeng stayed for a bit and then left.
He went to Qin Muye’s classroom to check on her.
After a while, he came back.
Wei Zhiqian heard everything.
However, Wei Zhiqian had not given them the go signal to expose Qin Muxiao yet.
They could only wait nervously, as if they were about to be beheaded.
They just wanted to get on with this and move on so they could be at ease.
The five of them were still waiting for Wei Zhiqian’s go signal, but Wei Zhiqian was not in a hurry.
“Still haven’t given them a go yet?” Qin Mufeng smiled and said, “They are waiting eagerly. Stop torturing them.”
“Don’t worry.” Wei Zhiqian smiled derisively, and his almond-shaped eyes fell on Qin Muxiao’s face as he said, “Let Qin Muxiao finish what she wants to say.”
Little did Qin Muxiao know that the more she talked, the deeper the hole she would find herself in.
Qin Mufeng clicked his tongue and said, “Don’t be too ruthless. She is still my cousin after all.”
“No one’s around. Stop pretending.” Wei Zhiqian shook his head. He didn’t believe that Qin Mufeng had any familial feelings towards Qin Muxiao.
Qin Mufeng looked around and saw that there were only indeed the two of them, so he stopped talking.
No matter what, he tried his best.
The five children saw that Wei Zhiqian had still not made a move. Meanwhile, Qin Muxiao continued, “Yes, I suspect that Tan Mo had cheated. Ming Yeqing is the best student in class. Tan Mo has a good relationship with him, and, during the exam, she was seated next to him. I’m not sure about the other subjects, but she must have cheated on the math test.”
Qin Muxiao looked at Tan Mo resentfully, and her eyes revealed the malice and jealousy that she had been trying to hide all this time. “For other subjects, she had enough time to answer all the questions. The full score for the Chinese composition was barely plausible. However, for the math exam, she had 20 minutes less than the rest of us. It was impossible for her to finish the exam, let alone got a perfect score. I don’t believe it!”
Tan Mo was short of time to answer the last question. Although the fact that she didn’t know how to do it was also a factor as thinking also took time.
But if she had another 10 minutes, she would have been able to answer the test completely.
Yet Tan Mo started more than 10 minutes later than Qin Muxiao. How could she be able to answer them all?
And she actually got full marks!
No way!
She cheated! She definitely cheated!
Tan Mo might have peeked at Ming Yeqing’s answer sheet.
Or, Ming Yeqing took the initiative to share his answers with Tan Mo.
This way, Tan Mo at least did not have to think about multiple-choice questions. She could focus on the big questions.
The more Qin Muxiao analyzed things, the more she felt that her doubts were reasonable and could stand scrutiny.
Therefore, even if she had no evidence, she still expressed her thoughts on the matter.
So what?
Could she be punished for this?
“I didn’t cheat!” Tan Mo immediately used her green tea skills, and her anxious small face blushed.
Her gaze swept her classmates’ faces and, finally, landed on Teacher Huang. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Teacher, I did not cheat!”
When Teacher Huang saw that Tan Mo was in tears, her face full of anxiety, his heart softened.
He felt as if a small white flower was trembling in his heart.
“I know,” Teacher Huang said softly.
How could Wei Zhiqian, having heard everything, not worry?
He wanted to rush in to protect Tan Mo.
If he had known, he would have given the five students a go as soon as he got there. He would rather give Qin Muxiao a heavy blow than let Tan Mo suffer this grievance.
At this time, Teacher Huang looked at Qin Muxiao with a serious expression on his face and said, “It was impossible for Tan Mo to cheat.”
“How come?” Qin Muxiao did not believe it.
What was impossible?
Why was Teacher Huang defending Tan Mo?
What’s so good about Tan Mo?
Look at her pitiful and pathetic appearance!
“Because Tan Mo’s test paper was different from yours.” Teacher Huang placed his hands on the podium and shot Qin Muxiao a stern glance before saying, “Tan Mo took the exams for the third grade. All of you, including Ming Yeqing, took the first-grade exams.”
“Therefore, it was impossible for her to cheat,” Teacher Huang said loudly.
Qin Muxiao was stunned. Her mouth was agape in shock.
It was as if her head had just suffered a heavy punch.
She understood every word of what Mr. Huang had said.
But when put together, why did his words sound so unreal?
What did Teacher Huang just say?
As soon as Qin Muxiao understood what Teacher Huang meant, her classmates were whispering among themselves.
“Oh my God! Tan Mo turned out to be taking the third-grade exams!”
“She did the third-grade exams and got full marks on all of them!”
“Why would she suddenly take the third grade’s exams?”
“While we were all learning the first grade’s courses, she was already studying the third grade’s courses.”
“Yes, getting perfect scores on all the exams shows that she has mastered all the courses for the third grade.”
“She is too impressive”
“I have never seen her brag before. She took the third grade’s exam without telling anyone about it.”
“Also, she spent less time on the math exam than we did. She didn’t have much time to answer the more difficult questions. How incredible!”
“Then, she really couldn’t have cheated. Our test papers were different from hers.”
“I always thought that Ming Yeqing was the smartest in our class. I didn’t expect Tan Mo to be so impressive.”
“Speaking of which, she was able to enter Jixia Academy probably because she was smart. She was specially recruited.”
The discussion went on, and each comment was a mockery of Qin Muxiao.
Qin Muxiao’s face was burning with humiliation.
At this time, Li Xingyun saw Wei Zhiqian’s go signal.
Li Xingyun took a deep breath and stood up with a solemn expression on her face as she said, “Teacher, I want to report Qin Muxiao.”
