Soon, the form teacher of the Improved Class said, âCome in.â
After getting permission, Gu Xiao pushed open the door and walked into the office. She called out âTeacher Liâ and closed the office door behind her.
Hearing Gu Xiaoâs voice, Teacher Li, who was engrossed in sorting out the lesson plan, looked up. When she saw Gu Xiao, a smile appeared on her face.
She waved at Gu Xiao. When Gu Xiao walked up to her, she said, âGu Xiao, you should have heard some rumors about you in school recently, right?â
Gu Xiaoâs expression darkened.
She naturally knew about the rumors of cheating, and she also knew that the rumors were getting more and more ridiculous, but there were many people who believed it. She just didnât know how the teachers in the school planned to deal with it.
Gu Xiao nodded. âi know, Teacher Li.â
âSince you know, I wonât beat around the bush.â Teacher Li placed the lesson plan in her hand aside. âNow that this rumor has already affected the schoolâs reputation, we canât just leave it alone.â
Gu Xiao listened quietly to Teacher Liâs words, and her thoughts could not help but turn.
She watched as Teacher Li paused at this point. The smile in her eyes disappeared, and her expression became serious.
âHowever, in consideration that the college entrance examination will start soon, and youâre also busy and donât want to do those troublesome things, so we want to release the surveillance videos during your examination. What do you think?â
Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment when she heard that. She subconsciously repeated, âSurveillance?â
To be honest, she also knew that because of the companyâs matters, she missed a lot of classes. She probably did not leave a good impression on the teachers.
She had already prepared herself. If the teacher suspected her and wanted her to retake the exam or void results, how could she reject him? However, she did not expect that Teacher Li had only asked her to come for the matter of the surveillance video.
âThatâs right. After all, we have to release your surveillance footage. We have to seek your opinion.â Teacher Li misunderstood Gu Xiaoâs meaning and thought that she did not want to release the surveillance footage. âThis is the most convenient method that we have thought of that will not waste your time.â
Previously, after the conflict between Gu Xiao and Ji Yao, the school had installed surveillance cameras in all the classrooms, and the classrooms with broken surveillance cameras had long been repaired.
Since there were people who suspected that Gu Xiao had cheated during the exam, they could just release the surveillance footage and let those who suspected Gu Xiao see the surveillance footage.
Under the surveillance, it was obvious that Gu Xiao was taking the exam alone without anyoneâs help. She rarely even looked up or turned her head.
Gu Xiaoâs heart warmed when she saw Teacher Liâs earnest persuading expression.
âTeacher, itâs fine as long as you make the decision. I donât mind releasing the surveillance footage,â she replied with a smile.
Teacher Li nodded in satisfaction. âThen go back! Study hard and donât worry about these things. The school teachers can handle them for you.â
Gu Xiao responded and excused herself from Teacher Li. After obtaining the other partyâs agreement, she turned around and walked out of the office.
After she walked out of the office, Chu An, who had been waiting outside, immediately walked over.
âHow is it? Why is Teacher looking for you? Is she suspecting that you cheated?!â
There was a trace of worry in Chu Anâs tone. Towards the end, there was a trace of anger. It was as if as long as Gu Xiao said yes, he would immediately seek justice for Gu Xiao.
A smile appeared in Gu Xiaoâs eyes as she reached out to hold Chu Anâs hand comfortingly.
âNo.â Gu Xiao refuted Chu Anâs words, then simply repeated what Teacher Li had just said.
With Gu Xiaoâs explanation, Chu Anâs emotions gradually calmed down.
âThatâs for the best,â Chu An muttered softly and held Gu Xiaoâs hand instead. âThen we wonât care about this anymore. Letâs go back to the classroom!â
When the two of them stepped into the classroom, they immediately attracted the attention of almost all the students.
Obviously, these students wanted to know why Teacher Li wanted to see Gu Xiao in the office.
However, no one took the initiative to ask. Gu Xiao and Chu An were not people who would take the initiative to explain, so they turned a blind eye and walked towards their seats.
âPfft! A cheater actually came back so openly? Donât you feel embarrassed? Youâve really embarrassed our Improved Class!â
An ear-piercing voice sounded..
