Chapter 50 - 50 Insult

50 Insult

Shi Jing followed behind Hu Jing in confusion. Two groups of people bumped into each other at the staircase of Director Zou’s office.

Hu Jing gave Song Zhi a look. Song Zhi nodded slightly and walked to Hu Jing’s side, feeling that she should keep a distance from Shi Man.

She knew that Hu Jing had always been prejudiced against Class F, which was at the bottom of the cohort. Hu Jing did not like her students to be involved with them, so Song Zhi had always hidden the fact that she and Fang Han were best friends from her. In school, Song Zhi had always been careful to avoid being seen with Fang Han.

Hu Jing was satisfied with her tact. She looked up at Geng Hui, who was walking at the back, with disdain. “I’m sorry, Mr. Geng. It wasn’t easy for one of your classmates to achieve good results this time, but I’m afraid you’ll be happy for nothing.”

“I believe the students in my class will never do such a thing!” He glanced at Shi Man with conviction in his eyes. “Don’t worry. If they can’t produce evidence, I’ll protect you. This is my duty as a form teacher.”

Shi Man nodded slightly and did not speak, but she was still a little touched.

In her previous life, when she had never been trusted unconditionally, she could only press people under her feet and force them to trust her.

However, this feeling of being able to be trusted without doing anything was really not bad.

Shi Man smiled slightly in a good mood. Although it was only an extremely small expression, it was already extremely rare for her.

Behind her, messy footsteps came. Su Tang ran in front, panting. Behind her were the students of the entire cohort.

Of course, everyone present knew very well that other than Su Tang and Geng Hui, everyone else was here to laugh at Shi Man.

Su Tang held the cold wall and panted. “Manman, I’ll go with you.”

Shi Man looked up at Geng Hui and asked him for his opinion. The latter subconsciously looked at Hu Jing’s expression. Seeing that she had no intention of objecting, he nodded and said, “Then let’s go quickly. Don’t let Director Zou wait too long.”

In the director’s office, Director Zou looked at the surveillance footage many times. She leaned back in her chair and rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.

Hu Jing knocked on the door and walked in with the vast number of students. “Director, I brought them all here. The other students volunteered to follow. I thought that this matter concerned everyone’s results, so I agreed.”

“Yes.” Director Zou opened her eyes and glanced at everyone with a serious expression. Finally, her gaze landed accurately on the girl who had just transferred over. “Shi Jing, do you want to say it yourself or should I say it for you?”

Shi Jing was still gloating. She did not expect to be called out by the director first. She was stunned on the spot. “Director Zou, what do you want me to say?”

Hu Jing snorted and mocked, “I knew it. Neither of you girls is good. No wonder your results are top. So you’re in cahoots with Shi Man!”

“I didn’t!” Shi Jing immediately pointed at Shi Man in panic. “Did you push all the blame on me just now!”

She lost her composure and screamed. She took two steps toward Director Zou but was frightened by her cold gaze. “Director, don’t listen to her nonsense. I really didn’t! I achieved my current results because of my own hard work.”

“I remember that Shi Jing’s results were just enough to enter Class D when she entered school, right? How did she improve so quickly in such a short period of time?” Song Zhi stepped on her at the right time. In her opinion, Shi Jing was as brainless as Shi Man. She did not mind chasing these two eyesores out of school.

“I was too nervous during the entrance examination, so I didn’t perform well!” Shi Jing hurriedly defended herself. At this moment, her heart was beating wildly, and her face was purple-red from embarrassment. However, when she saw Shi Man’s unchanged expression, she instantly felt like her lungs were about to explode.

Why was she the one everyone was targeting and mocking now? Could Shi Man’s cheating be easily let go just because she was the precious daughter of the Shi family?

“Why didn’t you mention Shi Man? Don’t you think it’s strange? Her improvement is clearly much greater than mine!” Shi Jing couldn’t care less about maintaining the impression of peace between her and Shi Man in front of her classmates. She wanted to say all kinds of things to slander Shi Man.

“Although Shi Jing doesn’t admit that she cheated, she’s not wrong.” Hu Jing shifted her gaze to Shi Man calmly. “Please explain how you cheated in front of everyone. Did you get the test paper in advance?”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Shi Man. Everyone thought that they would see the same ugly expression on her face as Shi Jing, but they were destined to be disappointed.

Shi Man slowly raised her eyes, still looking indifferent. Her cold eyes landed on Director Zou. “I couldn’t figure out why Shi Jing could improve so much. After all, with her stupidity, could she rely on herself? That’s simply a fantasy!”
