195 195 Donât take the wrong path
Tan Jing didnât believe it. Even if Tan Rou escaped last time, the results couldnât be faked. Tan Rou couldnât have bribed all the teachers who graded the papers. Didnât Tan Rou request to meet the principal? She could ask for it too!
She also had to thank Tan Rou for teaching her this method. If they went to the principal together, no matter what means Tan Rou had used to get such results, Tan Rou would instantly be exposed.
Full marks for everything? First in the entire school? What a joke! Even if she was going to make up her results, she shouldnât have gone so far. It was so fake. Only those fools would think that she had really taken the exam by herself.
Tan Rou smiled faintly. âTan Jing, are you sure you want to go to the principal with me? The principal is incredibly busy, and I still have to bother him with such trivial problems. To be honest, I feel a little bad.â
Tan Jing looked at Tan Rou provocatively. âAre you afraid? If youâre scared, it means that youâre really up to something. You should come with me to the principal and admit your mistake.â
After saying that, Tan Jing was afraid that she would sound mean. So, she deliberately added, âIâm just afraid that youâll make the same mistakes again and again. Thereâs still a chance to correct your mistakes before things get out of hand.â
Tan Rou looked at Tan Jingâs serious expression and smiled happily. âI have nothing to be afraid of. If you want to do this, I shall fulfil your wish. However, I have to remind you, Tan Jing⦠Donât learn from me and take the wrong path.â
Tan Jing raised her head as if he would not be easily fooled by Tan Rou. âEven if I have to be cold to my family today, I will have to do so. Donât blame me for it. Iâm really doing this for your own good. Letâs go!â
Tan Rou slowly got up. âOkay, donât regret it later.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tan Jing took the lead and walked out, and the students in the class followed.
It was their self-study session. Logically speaking, they wouldnât be allowed to walk around at will, but Tan Rou was going to confront the principal again. Who could resist looking at her?
The students looked at Tan Rou eagerly.
Tan Rou didnât say anything. She just patted Li Liâs shoulder and told her not to worry. She nodded at Xu Yan and walked out.
Li Li was a little worried. Had she been too impulsive just now and caused trouble for Tan Rou? If she hadnât mocked Tan Jing, Tan Jing wouldnât have vented her anger on Tan Rou and dragged Tan Rou to the principal to prove her innocence.
Li Li hesitated for a long time, but she still couldnât help it. She didnât care about the rules of the morning self-study and quickly chased after Tan Rou. If the teacher wanted to criticize her, so be it. She had to make sure Tan Rou was safe.
As soon as Li Li moved, Xu Yan couldnât sit still. As the class monitor, he should set an example and lead everyone. However, things happened too quickly. Tan Jing had been up to no good. Tan Rou had just established a good image, so nothing could happen to her.
Xu Yan hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and chased after her.
The other students saw that the class monitor had left! What were they waiting for?! The law couldnât punish the majority. At most, all of them would be scolded together. Anyway, their class monitor was there as well! In an instant, they all swarmed out of the classroom and gathered outside the principalâs office.
Tan Jing and Tan Rou reached the door of the principalâs office and Tan Jing quickly knocked on it.
âPlease come in!â The principal replied from inside.
As soon as they entered the room, Tan Jing said impatiently, âHello, sir! We have something to talk to you about. Itâs about Tan Rouâs exam results!â
The principal raised his head and replied, âHello.â
However, his eyes immediately turned to Tan Rou, and his face instantly bloomed with joy. âTan Rou, youâre here. Come and sit. Youâre our schoolâs treasure now. I was told that you results were outstanding!â
Tan Rou smiled politely and did not say anything.
Tan Jing, who had been ignored by the side, clenched her fist unwillingly and raised her voice to speak again, âPrincipal! Iâm reporting that Tan Rouâs results are fake! The rest of the students object to it as well!â
Only then did the principal notice what Tan Jing had said. He asked in confusion, âFake? The teacher has checked it carefully, how could it be fake? Who are you and why are you objecting to it?â
Tan Jing was speechless for a moment. She stared at the principal and didnât know what to say.
Tan Rou snickered. This âso-calledâ everyone might only be Tan Jing.
Tan Jing was unconvinced. She had caused such a commotion in front of the billboard this morning. Everyone felt that something was wrong and so they gathered there. âI used to be close to Tan Rou, and I couldnât bear to see her make another mistake. Iâve come here to the principalâs office to give her a chance to prove her innocence. If she could prove the authenticity of the results, wouldnât it also be a chance to convince the rest of the school?
Tan Jing glanced at Tan Rou and said meaningfully, âOtherwise, everyone would still be suspicious of you. The first place in the school has been taken by someone who just came back from abroad. Itâs inevitable that people would suspect.â
