Chapter 59: Coward
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Ling’er rolled her eyes. This coward was afraid to offend the Wen Family, so he made Jiang Ling’er do the talking.
“Dean, how would I know who provided you with this problematic information?” Jiang Ling’er retorted.
The dean was left speechless.
The dean didn’t expect Jiang Ling’er to throw the question back at him. He grew furious.
The vice-principal furrowed his brow and spoke, “Old Master Jiang, the information was given to your granddaughter by Miss Wen.”
Old Master Jiang scoffed, “Ha, that doesn’t mean there’s a problem. How did Miss Wen score? Full marks too?”
“Miss Wen did not take the test,” the vice-principal replied.
“In that case, where does the so-called problematic information originate from?” Old Master Jiang asked.
The vice-principal looked at the dean, signaling for him to explain.
The dean was stunned and unable to say anything.
“What?” Old Master Jiang mocked. “Is this question too difficult to answer?”
Old Master Jiang glared at the dean. He didn’t even have any evidence and yet wanted to bully Jiang Ling’er!
Jiang Ling’er suddenly spoke up, “Grandpa, the information Nuannuan gave me is sealed and still on my desk. I can show it to everyone to prove my innocence.”
The vice-principal suddenly had a sense of foreboding. He asked, “Sealed? Are you saying you haven’t even seen it?”
If this matter was fabricated, it meant that the person who reported it must have had a grudge against Jiang Ling’er. Perhaps they just wanted to cause trouble for Jiang Ling’er and relied on their influential background. However, it wouldn’t be easy for the vice-principal and others to back down. Both the Jiang and Wen families were not to be underestimated.
“I’m busy. How could I find the time to look at it?” Jiang Ling’er replied with a smile. “I have plenty of things to do every day.”
To improve her acting skills, Jiang Ling’er spent her free time taking on extra roles or observing actors on set, carefully studying the psychology of each character.
Old Master Jiang looked at the vice-principal and declared, “How dare you accuse my granddaughter of cheating when she hasn’t even opened the information? Do you really think the Jiang family has fallen so low?”
“Old Master Jiang, please don’t be angry,” the vice-principal quickly interjected.
“Hmph!” Old Master Jiang snorted coldly. “It’s fine for your school to protect the informant, but why would you protect someone who is so obviously framing her?”
The vice-principal hesitated for a moment before saying, “Homeroom teacher, go and fetch the information Miss Wen gave to Miss Jiang.”
The homeroom teacher nodded and promptly left the room.
Shortly after, the homeroom teacher returned with Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan stepped forward, holding Jiang Ling’er’s hand, and asked, “Ling’er, what’s going on?”
“They said I cheated and they plan to nullify my results,” Jiang Ling’er replied.
Jiang Ling’er explained, “Someone reported that you gave me the answer sheet for the exam. Some of our school authorities suspected there was an issue with the information. 1 don’t know what the problem is, so 1 wanted to take a look at the information you gave me.”
Wen Nuan quickly grasped Jiang Ling’er’s intention. She spoke coldly, “Is there a problem? Do they think the information 1 provided contains answers? If that were the case, why wouldn’t I take the test myself? Some people just lack common sense. They actually believed such a stupid accusation.”
“I don’t understand what these people are thinking either,” Jiang Ling’er replied.
“Vice-principal, I did give Ling’er the information, but she didn’t even read it,” Wen Nuan clarified.
The vice-principal maintained a calm expression, but inside, he was panicking.
Wen Nuan furrowed her brow and mockingly said, “Ha, I’d like to know how you determined that Ling’er cheated. Is it because she handed in a blank paper before? If that’s the case, accusing her of cheating is too arbitrary. This person who reported Ling’er is shameless. They’re jealous of Ling’er’s performance in the exam, so they resorted to framing her. Besides, when I gave Ling’er the information, many classmates saw it. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them.”
“Nuan, please calm down,” Jiang Ling’er interjected.
“In the face of blatant bullying, I can’t understand how you’re still so calm,” Wen Nuan remarked.
“It’s all right,” Jiang Ling’er responded indifferently. “I didn’t do it, so what do I have to be afraid of?”
“Are you forgetting how you entered this school in the first place?” the dean couldn’t help but mock.
Jiang Ling’er glared coldly at the dean. She didn’t understand where he found the audacity. Jiang Ling’er said, “Dean, if you accuse me of cheating, then show me the evidence. If you can’t, I’ll go to the media and let everyone see how you suppress students and how I entered this school..”
