Madam Wang hurriedly spoke up for her son. âWhatâs going on? What did my son do wrong? He was framed! He mustâve been framed! Donât make things difficult for him. Heâs just a child!â
However, no one was willing to listen to her explanation. The vice principal immediately asked her and Wang Sheng to go to the office.
Everyone started discussing. âWhat exactly is missing?â
âI heard Wang Sheng say something about test papers. Could it be that the school lost a copy of test papers?]
âI donât understand. Heâs already a star student. Why would he steal test papers?â
Qiao Dongliang clenched his fists and vaguely understood that Wang Sheng might have tried to frame him.
However⦠why didnât he succeed? He couldnât figure out the details. He just thought that Qiao Weiyang must have helped him a lot. The parents left one after another.
Mr. Luo came to send Qiao Weiyang and the other two off.
âIâm really sorry about what happened today,â Mr. Luo apologized sincerely. âEspecially Dongliang. Donât let this matter affect your revision and exams.â âMr. Luo, whatâs the situation with Wang Sheng?â Qiao Weiyang asked.
This was actually a very confidential matter, and the school didnât want to make it too public. However, Mr. Luo felt guilty toward the Qiao family, so he said, âHe probably got the test papers outside the school. I heard that he planned to use them to frame Dongliang, but heâs not in a good state of mind now. His words are incoherent, and he didnât make it completely clear. Weâve also checked the surveillance cameras and didnât find anything unusual. At the moment, the police are investigating his fingerprints. When we went to check just now, he didnât touch the papers. If his fingerprints are found on them, the matter can be confirmed.â
Qiao Weiyang smiled slightly and remembered that she had worn gloves when she placed the papers into Wang Shengâs bag.
As for Wang Sheng, his mental fortitude was not strong enough. After all, he had never done such a big thing. He probably did not think of this.
âThe school is also responsible for such a thing. I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible,â Qiao Weiyang said.
âThank you. Iâm sorry to trouble you.â
She nodded and said, âSince itâs a misunderstanding, itâs fine as long as itâs cleared up. Iâll have to trouble Mr. Luo to take care of Dongliang in school.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDonât worry, Dongliang is a good talent. The school values him more than me.â
Qiao Weiyang was indeed relieved. In fact, even though the vice principal suspected Qiao Dongliang just now, the school still dealt with it in a low-key manner. She knew that her brother was indeed valued in school.
Qiao Jierou was so angry that her stomach hurt. She was supposed to be the one in charge, but now, the situation was completely in Qiao Weiyangâs hands.
She didnât even have a chance to help now.
âDongliang, study hard in school. Iâm leaving,â Qiao Jierou said to Qiao Dongliang.
After Qiao Jierou got into the car and left, Qiao Dongliang said to Qiao Weiyang, âSister, you knew about it, right? You were the one who took out the test papers. You also gave me Cheng Chaopingâs autographed DVD set, right?â
âAre you talking about what happened just now? It was a coincidence that I came. Wang Shengâs parents asked me to come and apologize to them, but they were late. I happened to see what Wang Sheng did, so I simply returned the papers to him. I didnât tell you about it because I didnât really have a chance. Secondly, I wasnât sure how this matter would develop.â Seeing that he had already guessed most of it, Qiao Weiyang didnât hide it from him.
He said softly, âThank you, Sister. I really didnât expect Wang Sheng to do such a thing. Weâre both classmates.â
âSince he did it, he has to be punished accordingly. Donât interfere too much in matters that have nothing to do with you.â
Qiao Weiyang thought for a while but still did not mention Qiao Jierou. Firstly, she did not have any concrete evidence. Secondly, Qiao Jierou and Qiao
Dongliang still had a brother-sister relationship. She was afraid that Qiao Dongliang would feel psychologically burdened if he was informed.
âSister, will this affect you? I heard them say that theyâll check for fingerprints.
Didnât you touch the papers?â
âI only touched your DVD set. I didnât touch anything else. Also, we donât know anything about this. Letâs never talk about it again, okay?â
Qiao Dongliang was a smart person. He immediately realized that he should stay as far away from this matter as possible. There was no need to get to the bottom of it since it had nothing to do with him.
âAlright, go back quickly.â Qiao Weiyang ruffled his hair.
As he watched Qiao Weiyangâs car leave, his heart was filled with some kind of emotion.
After Qiao Weiyang got into the car, she called Su Zhuoqian and told him about this.
âIâll get someone to pay attention to the progress of Wang Shengâs matter. Do you need me to investigate Qiao Jierou?â
There was an obvious smile in Su Zhuoqianâs voice.
Qiao Weiyang was willing to tell him about her family not because she couldnât solve the problem, but because she wanted to share it with him. It made him feel inexplicably trustworthy. He was happy to participate in her life.
âLetâs not investigate her. If we find out that sheâs related to this mess, itâll affect Dongliang.â
Su Zhuoqian nodded. âOkay.â
âI feel much more relaxed after talking to you about these things.â There was a low sigh in her voice.
âThen tell me more in the future, okay?â
The manâs voice sounded relaxed and comfortable, making Qiao Weiyang even more relaxed. âAs long as you donât find me annoying.â
âI donât think youâre annoying me enough,â Su Zhuoqian said in a low voice. His husky voice was especially low and charming.
Qiao Weiyang couldnât help but chuckle.
Ever since Qiao Jierou left the school, her heart had been beating very fast.
Jiang Lin asked, âDid it succeed, Jierou?â
âDonât mention it. Wang Sheng didnât succeed in planting those papers at all.
To think that we spent so much effort to give him the test papers.â
âHe didnât even succeed in framing your brother?â Jiang Lin said. âHeâs really useless.â
âForget it, forget it.â Qiao Jierou shook her head as if she was afraid of being targeted. This matter had blown up now. She was afraid of being implicated and having it affect her career.
Jiang Lin could only shut up. She really didnât expect such a detailed plan to go wrong.
What made Qiao Jierou the most depressed was that not only did she not pull
Qiao Dongliang closer to her, but she also pushed him toward Qiao Weiyang.
As she was thinking, Lin Heng called.
âBrother Heng.â Qiao Jierouâs voice immediately became gentle.
âJierou, you said last time that you wanted me to help pull some strings with
Jing University. What do you want me to do?â
Qiao Jierou begged Lin Heng because she wanted to have a backup plan to steal the test papers for Qiao Dongliang. She wanted to give him a big gift and completely subdue him.
It was obvious that she didnât need it now.
She smiled and said, âBrother Heng, Iâve really troubled you, but Dongliang is very ambitious. He insists on taking the exam himself and says that he wonât rely on us..â
