Li Li agreed with her as well. “That’s right. Director w.a.n.g and Wei Ling really deserve it!”
Then, she moved closer to Tan Rou and said in a low voice, “It’s a pity that we didn’t catch Tan Jing. She must have been the mastermind!”
Tan Rou shook her head. “She won’t be caught so easily. She’s the best at hiding herself and using others as a weapon.”
Li Li snorted in disdain. “Who would work for someone like her? They’ll be finished!”
As they were talking, Tan Jing walked into the cla.s.sroom 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, “Xiao 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?!”
Tan Jing was already on the verge of a breakdown. After being provoked by Li Li’s words, she turned around instantly and spoke in a strange tone, “What’s there to be happy about? We don’t even know how you got these results! Tan Rou, I’m telling you that you shouldn’t lie or else you would be badly embarra.s.sed in the end.”
Tan Rou raised her eyebrows and looked at Tan Jing with interest. She isn’t 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. “Tan 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, you’re saying that it’s a lie. Why’s that? Just because Tan Rou cannot be smarter than you? It won’t be lying if you were the one who got first student instead?”
The look on Tan Jing’s face changed drastically. “Li Li, what are you so proud of? You’re merely Tan Rou’s follower, and you’re already so proud of yourself. It’s not like you’re the top student of the school. She hasn’t even said anything, and you’re already in a hurry to bite her.”
Li Li wasn’t angry. Instead, she was proud. “What’s wrong? I’m happy to! That’s still better than some people who are eccentric and refuse to recognize reality. Some even resorted to shameful and underhanded means!”
Tan Jing’s eyes turned red. “Who are you saying that has used shameful and underhanded means?! Do you have any evidence? Don’t you dare slander me!”
Li Li rolled her eyes at Tan Jing and said arrogantly, “I didn’t say who it was. Why are you getting so anxious?”
Tan Jing was so angry that she was panting and staring at Li Li.
Tan Rou didn’t want Tan Jing to hate Li Li. It wouldn’t be good if she secretly caused trouble for Li Li. She couldn’t always protect Li Li. Tan Jing dared to do anything when she went crazy.
So she quickly said, “Li Li is right. If I do well, my parents will naturally be happy. They won’t suspect me. Tan Jing, don’t worry about this. You don’t have to be the judge whether I lied or not.”
Tan Jing shifted her gaze to Tan Rou and sneered, unconvinced. “Tan Rou, I have nothing to say if it was someone else who had just abilities. But, you?! I really don’t want to believe it, and I won’t believe it. You’ve been abroad for so many years. Where did you learn all these?”
Tan Rou didn’t answer Tan Jing’s question. Instead, Tan Rou teased her with great interest, “Tan Jing, watch your expression. Don’t look too fierce. You’re a weak little white flower. What’s wrong? Did I do well in my exams and make you so angry that you’re like a tyrant flower?”
Tan Jing’s expression froze. From the corner of her eye, she saw that many of the students in the cla.s.sroom 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 wasn’t good to change her mood too obviously, so she could only explain herself. “Tan Rou, you don’t have to be sarcastic to me. I’m just feeling sorry for mom and dad! No matter how good-tempered they are, I couldn’t bear to see them being deceived by you for nothing. Others might not know, don’t 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? Don’t tell me that you’ve learned it by yourself overnight?”
Tan Rou shrugged her shoulders. “It’s not impossible!
Tan Jing was furious. “Just look at you! How can I not be angry! Tan Rou, can’t you be more sensible? Don’t further disappoint our parents!”
Tan Rou sneered. “Then what do you want? ”
Tan Jing thought for a moment, and her eyes lit up. “You have to prove the authenticity of your results, or you’ll be considered cheating! Didn’t you ask to see the princ.i.p.al confidently when you were caught cheating? Do you dare to come with me to the princ.i.p.al to prove yourself and see if your results are actually authentic?!”
