Chen Yi received a call from Tan Jingâs form teacher and did not dare to delay for a moment before coming to the hospital. At this moment, Tan Jingâs injuries had already been cleaned. Her snow-white bandages were stained with some blood, and they looked horrible.
âJingjing!â Chen Yi laid down in front of her daughterâs bed and stroked her head. She cried and said, âHow did this happen?!â
âMom, Iâm fine. Donât worry,â Tan Jing said weakly.
âYouâre my daughter. How can I not worry?â As Chen Yi spoke, she vented her anger on Tan Jingâs teacher. âWhatâs wrong with you? Why would my daughter jump off a building?â
The homeroom teacher calmed Chen Yi down first. âMrs Tan, donât get too worked up. Letâs sit down and talk about it slowly.â
Tan Jing then said to Chen Yi, âIt was Tan Rou and the others who framed me for cheating. 1 didnât cheat, so 1 jumped down from upstairs to prove my innocence.â Her words were clever. There were so many students present, but she only said Tan Ronâs name so that her mother would only blame it on Tan Rou.
As expected, when Chen Yi heard Tan Ronâs name, she was furious. She scolded, âItâs that little sl*t Tan Rou who harmed you again. Donât worry, dear. Mom will definitely avenge you!â
âIt was your daughter who couldnât take the pressure and jumped off the building. What does it have to do with Tan Rou?â The principal walked in with his secretary. âAt that time, all the evidence pointed to Tan Jing. She cheated in the exam and spread rumors to accuse others. Tan Jing, what you should do is to show evidence to prove your innocence, not jump off a building.â
When Chen Yi heard the principalâs words, she was very angry. âMy daughter almost fell to her death. Why are you saying this? She was framed!â
The principal looked at her coldly. âIf Student Tan Jing was framed, find evidence as soon as possible. The school will definitely clear your name.â
âJingjing was framed!â Chen Yi caused a ruckus in the ward. â1 know what kind of person that wretched girl is. She must have fabricated a lie to frame my daughter. My daughter is a good student. She would never do such a thing!â
The principal glared at her. Why was Tan Jingâs mother such a person? This was a hospital. What was the point of making a scene here?
âMrs. Tan, the school will find out if itâs a false accusation.â The principal spoke to her patiently. âOf course, if you have any new evidence, submit it to us as soon as possible. We donât want to believe that Tan Jing cheated in the exam. From what 1 remember, Tan Jing has always been a good student as well.â
The homeroom teacher also said, âThatâs right. Before Tan Rou came first in class, Tan Jingâs results had always been in the top three of the class. She was also in the top three in her grade and often came in second. However, recently, Tan Jingâs results have fallen very badlyâ¦â
Chen Yi interrupted him. âWhat do you mean by that? Are you saying that my Jingjingâs grades have fallen and she have been cheating before this?!â
The homeroom teacher didnât mean that. He explained, âYouâve misunderstood me. 1 only said that Tan Jing is a good student. None of the teachers thought that she cheated.â
Tan Jing was furious. It was Tan Rou again. If Tan Rou had not suddenly become first place, second place would still be hers!
âThereâs no need for all these.â The principal said, âCurrently, Student Tan Jing is suspected of cheating in the exam. Sheâs injured and now lying in the hospital. She might not be able to make it to the next stage of the competition. Therefore, your results will be revoked this time. Another student will be chosen to replace you.â
When Tan Jing heard that her results were going to be canceled, she could no longer stay calm. She sat up suddenly, but her body was in pain, so she lay back down.
âDonât cancel my grades. 1 have to take the exam. Principal, please donât cancel my results, okay?â Tan Jing said excitedly.
âJingjing, youâre already so injured. How are you going to take the exam?â Chen Yi still felt sorry for Tan Jing.
âTan Jing, what you have to do now is to recuperate. Donât think about anything else for now,â the principal advised her.
Tan Jing couldnât lose this opportunity to be there for the competition. If she didnât take the exam, others wouldnât care if it was because of her health. They would definitely say that she had cheated and her results were revoked. No matter what, she had to be there for the competition.
âPrincipal, I can recover before it. Please let me participate in it.â Tears welled up in Tan Jingâs eyes. â1 canât miss it!â
The principal was not a cold-hearted person. Moreover, the results of the investigation were not out yet.. If it was proved that she was wronged, wouldnât it be a waste of a good seedling?
