Chapter 139: Is She More Important or Am I?
Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun turned their heads in unison, squinted, and looked at Lu Ziyi with disdain.
Hmph, the messy romantic entanglements you caused, didn’t you confess and seek leniency from Xiaoxiao?
Lu Ziyi tightened his grip on Ye Chuxiao’s slender waist and honestly said, “Xiaoxiao, your Advanced Mathematics grade was falsified. Teacher Bai just called me to tell you that the University and College have uncovered the truth.
“Teacher Bai submitted the report card to your College, and then when the College had Shui Birong, the Minister of the Student Union’s Academic Affairs Department, enter it into the records, she altered the original handwritten document that Teacher Bai sent and entered fifty-nine points into the system.
“During the make-up exam, Teacher Bai asked me what score you got, and I said fifty-nine. She was suspicious and checked your test paper. Teacher Bai thought she had made a data entry error and went to the College to correct it, only to discover that someone had altered the report card. The investigation revealed that Shui Birong framed you!
“The College and University have decided to give Shui Birong a demerit punishment, and the College teacher responsible for verification will also bear responsibility for their work negligence. Their punishments, along with the announcement of your grade correction, will be published on the University’s webpage.
“I’m sorry, Xiaoxiao, the root of this matter lies with me. Shui Birong framed you because of me!”
Ye Chuxiao’s eyes, which had been bright and lively with excitement moments ago, lost their luster. Her eyelids drooped, and her long, curled eyelashes seemed to have lost their vitality.
When Shui Birong first stormed into their dormitory to cause trouble for her, her roommates had told her that Shui Birong and Lu Ziyi were high school classmates, and Shui Birong had clearly shown that she liked Lu Ziyi.
So Shui Birong framed her because she hated that Ye Chuxiao was too close to Lu Ziyi.
The last time Shui Birong belittled her intelligence at the entrance of the girls’ dormitory and questioned if she got into this University through connections, Senior Student Ziyi had powerfully defended her.
But now, what was Senior Student Ziyi’s attitude regarding this matter? A demerit punishment was very serious and would have a profound influence on her future graduation and job prospects.
Would Senior Student Ziyi want to show leniency and plead for his high school classmate?
Ye Chuxiao’s heart was in turmoil. Her silence and dejection made the three boys present nervous.
“You really hit a sore spot,” Zhao Congrui said with a couple of laughs, “It’s good that the truth is out. Good and evil will be rewarded, and this matter is over! Speaking of which, our Xiaoxiao is truly smart; she scored eighty-nine points in Advanced Mathematics after only half a month of review!”
Lin Houchun also chimed in, “Heh heh, Ziyi is also a good teacher, very effective. The truth coming to light is also thanks to Ziyi’s deep friendship with Teacher Bai. With just a word from Ziyi, Teacher Bai… cough cough…”
As Lin Houchun was speaking, Zhao Congrui unexpectedly hit him hard on the back twice, the force of which made him cough!
Lin Houchun and Zhao Congrui glared at each other.
“Zhao Congrui, you scoundrel, you hit me again!”
“I’m hitting you, you pig! I said this matter is over, and you’re still bringing it up! Can’t you see Xiaoxiao is unhappy?”
Lu Ziyi ignored Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun’s glaring contest and calmly said to Ye Chuxiao, “Xiaoxiao, I’ll take you back to the University. Your class is having a class meeting.”
“I can go back to the University by myself. It will interfere with Senior Student Ziyi’s work.”
“It won’t interfere. The Student Union also has a meeting to attend.”
Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun stopped their bickering and watched Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao leave with wistful gazes.
As soon as they disappeared, the two of them immediately started fighting—
“You violent brute!”
“You pig!”
