Chapter 210: Chapter 210: The False Kindness of the Sister

He had not finished speaking when Zhou Lanfang interrupted him. "Principal, I know it was her who cheated. There’s no need for you to explain; just expel her! I have no objections, just give the Progress Award back to our Siyu."

Principal: "..."

Teachers: "..."

This time they were truly speechless.

At this moment, Wang Jingjing and Zhao Xinlan were beaming with joy, oblivious to the remark Zhou Lanfang made afterward.

They had originally thought Zhou Siyu wouldn’t show up, but to their surprise, she had brought her aunt along. Now it was settled; Shen Mianmian had been caught cheating.

"Look, Principal, even Shen Mianmian’s own mother says she cheated," Zhao Xinlan said with a smug look on her face.

Shen Jianhua’s face turned red with embarrassment. His wife was accusing their daughter of such an act in school. He wanted to help his daughter but feared his wife would lose face.

In his view, the dignity of an adult was more important than that of a child.

So he essentially became an invisible man, saying not a word.

"Just because Shen Mianmian is a good student, you think I helped her cheat?"

Chen Jie looked at Wang Jingjing, Zhao Xinlan, and Su Xiaohong with a displeased expression. His students were suspecting him of helping Shen Mianmian cheat. To any teacher, this would feel incredibly disheartening.

As the situation had escalated, Wang Jingjing knew they had no way out; they had to pin down the accusation of Chen Jie helping Shen Mianmian cheat, or else they would lose face and gain nothing in front of everyone.

She insisted, "It was you who helped Shen Mianmian cheat. Before the exam, you summoned Shen Mianmian to the office and leaked the questions to her."

Zhao Xinlan also chimed in, "I can testify to Shen Mianmian’s previous academic performance, which everyone knows."

Chen Jie, with a stern face, said, "Putting aside whether I knew the exam questions or not, find me one reason why I would help Shen Mianmian cheat."

"Last time you had a conflict with Teacher Li, and Shen Mianmian stood up for you," blurted out Wang Jingjing, offering a reason.

Li Qiumei, whose name was mentioned, was now wearing a face full of schadenfreude. Her mood was notably better than before amongst the teachers, but she had become wiser and chose not to get involved for the moment, deciding it was best to see how things would play out.

Chen Jie: "..."

Principal: "..."

Teachers: "..."

This reason was truly something only these children could come up with.

As a teacher, how could one cheat for a student over such a trivial matter?

Even Li Qiumei gave Wang Jingjing a withering look, disappointed that steel had not turned into gold. She had thought Wang Jingjing actually had substantial evidence.

Chen Jie took a deep breath and said, "The last time I called Shen Mianmian to the office was to explain a few questions she didn’t understand. Many teachers were in the office at the time." Everyone knew whether there had been any leakage of questions.

Besides, even if the questions I explained to Shen Mianmian did appear in the exam, it would have been a coincidence. And the purpose of my explanations to Shen Mianmian was precisely for when she encountered them in a test, wasn’t it?

What was wrong with that?

At Chen Jie’s words, Wang Jingjing found herself momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing that the conversation was going around in circles and not addressing the core issue, Zhou Siyu grew impatient. "Actually, knowing whether my sister cheated or not is very simple. Pose a few questions on the spot for her to solve, and the truth will come out. It would only be fair to clear my sister’s name."

Shen Mianmian let out a sneer. Was it to clear her name?

Wasn’t it just to make the accusation of her cheating even more solid?

"Exactly," Zhou Lanfang agreed. "You all come up with a few questions, and this wretched girl surely won’t be able to answer them."
