194 194 Meet the principal
Li Li agreed with her as well. âThatâs right. Director Wang and Wei Ling really deserve it!â
Then, she moved closer to Tan Rou and said in a low voice, âItâs a pity that we didnât catch Tan Jing. She must have been the mastermind!â
Tan Rou shook her head. âShe wonât be caught so easily. Sheâs the best at hiding herself and using others as a weapon.â
Li Li snorted in disdain. âWho would work for someone like her? Theyâll be finished!â
!!
As they were talking, Tan Jing walked into the classroom and glared at Tan Rou fiercely. Then, she sat down in her seat without a word.
Li Li glanced at Tan Jing and deliberately raised her voice, âXiao Rou! Uncle and Aunty Tao will definitely be super happy that you did so well this time! Where else can they find such a great daughter like you?!â
Tan Jing was already on the verge of a breakdown. After being provoked by Li Liâs words, she turned around instantly and spoke in a strange tone, âWhatâs there to be happy about? We donât even know how you got these results! Tan Rou, Iâm telling you that you shouldnât lie or else you would be badly embarrassed in the end.â
Tan Rou raised her eyebrows and looked at Tan Jing with interest. She isnât going to continue with acting anymore? Tan Jing really cared about her grades. Was it because Tan Jing was stupid and so she was particularly jealous?
Li Li was not happy and directly retorted to Tan Jing. âTan Jing, what do you mean? Someone framed Xiao Rou for cheating during the exam. We both know the actual thing that happened. You better not force me to make things ugly here. Now that the results are out, youâre saying that itâs a lie. Whyâs that? Just because Tan Rou cannot be smarter than you? It wonât be lying if you were the one who got first student instead?â
The look on Tan Jingâs face changed drastically. âLi Li, what are you so proud of? Youâre merely Tan Rouâs follower, and youâre already so proud of yourself. Itâs not like youâre the top student of the school. She hasnât even said anything, and youâre already in a hurry to bite her.â
Li Li wasnât angry. Instead, she was proud. âWhatâs wrong? Iâm happy to! Thatâs still better than some people who are eccentric and refuse to recognize reality. Some even resorted to shameful and underhanded means!â
Tan Jingâs eyes turned red. âWho are you saying that has used shameful and underhanded means?! Do you have any evidence? Donât you dare slander me!â
Li Li rolled her eyes at Tan Jing and said arrogantly, âI didnât say who it was. Why are you getting so anxious?â
Tan Jing was so angry that she was panting and staring at Li Li.
Tan Rou didnât want Tan Jing to hate Li Li. It wouldnât be good if she secretly caused trouble for Li Li. She couldnât always protect Li Li. Tan Jing dared to do anything when she went crazy.
So she quickly said, âLi Li is right. If I do well, my parents will naturally be happy. They wonât suspect me. Tan Jing, donât worry about this. You donât have to be the judge whether I lied or not.â
Tan Jing shifted her gaze to Tan Rou and sneered, unconvinced. âTan Rou, I have nothing to say if it was someone else who had just abilities. But, you?! I really donât want to believe it, and I wonât believe it. Youâve been abroad for so many years. Where did you learn all these?â
Tan Rou didnât answer Tan Jingâs question. Instead, Tan Rou teased her with great interest, âTan Jing, watch your expression. Donât look too fierce. Youâre a weak little white flower. Whatâs wrong? Did I do well in my exams and make you so angry that youâre like a tyrant flower?â
Tan Jingâs expression froze. From the corner of her eye, she saw that many of the students in the classroom were sizing them up in silence, and she suddenly panicked.
Oh no, she had been provoked by Tan Rou and Li Li. She had been so aroused by anger that she disregarded her image!
Tan Jing slowed down. It wasnât good to change her mood too obviously, so she could only explain herself. âTan Rou, you donât have to be sarcastic to me. Iâm just feeling sorry for mom and dad! No matter how good-tempered they are, I couldnât bear to see them being deceived by you for nothing. Others might not know, donât you think that I do? You went abroad when you were four and only returned home this year. How could you possibly know how to do these questions? Donât tell me that youâve learned it by yourself overnight?â
Tan Rou shrugged her shoulders. âItâs not impossible!
Tan Jing was furious. âJust look at you! How can I not be angry! Tan Rou, canât you be more sensible? Donât further disappoint our parents!â
Tan Rou sneered. âThen what do you want? â
Tan Jing thought for a moment, and her eyes lit up. âYou have to prove the authenticity of your results, or youâll be considered cheating! Didnât you ask to see the principal confidently when you were caught cheating? Do you dare to come with me to the principal to prove yourself and see if your results are actually authentic?!â
