Chapter 71: Did She Cheat?
Chapter 71: Did She Cheat?
All the students quickly took out their phones to check the preliminary test results, including even those who did not sign up for the quiz.
Everyone was eager to know Huo Yao’s grades since she had gotten into the school through the backdoor. They were wondering whether she managed to score even 10 to 20 points.
But everyone’s jaws dropped the moment they caught sight of the results.
[Darn, the new transfer is incredible! She surprisingly got full marks.]
[I feel that something’s wrong with my eyes. Didn’t they say she pulled connections to get in?]
[If someone with full marks needs to get in through the backdoor, then how could we have gotten in when we took the admission exam fair and square?]
[Maybe she cheated? Those who can get into the school using a backdoor are well connected. Maybe she obtained the preliminary test questions beforehand. Moreover, how could she have gotten all the science questions right if she is a humanities student?]
[Just thinking about it terrifies me!]
Everyone kept talking about it incessantly. Most of the students were dumbstruck by her score. The class split evenly into two factions about whether or not she had cheated.
When Huo Yao returned to the classroom, she sensed all sorts of complicated looks from her classmates.
“Sister Big Shot, were you called into the office to talk about your grades?” Meng Ying had a gossipy look on her face.
Huo Yao raised her brow. She did not explain anything to her and merely acknowledged it with an ambiguous nod.
“You are so good at hiding the truth. Your grades were so good that you scored full marks in the test!” said Meng Ying as she smacked her lips.
“A humanities student managed to finish the test with a perfect score. Very impressive! Very impressive of you!”
Huo Yao looked at her. Then she smiled and said, “That’s why I told you to read more.”
Meng Ying was at a loss for words. She felt that Huo Yao was teasing again.
Right then, another thought crossed Meng Ying’s mind. She went up to Huo Yao’s desk and reached inside to retrieve the books that Huo Yao often read.
Those were physics, chemistry, and biology books.
Meng Ying blinked and asked her quizzically. “Are these the books you keep reading after school?”
Huo Yao raised her brow and replied in a flat tone. “Or should I read, ‘Dating a Domineering CEO’?”
“PFFFT...” Meng Ying could not restrain herself from choking. It was a real blow to her.
Meng Ying always thought Huo Yao had been reading humanities books after school, but... she dropped such a bombshell!
No wonder Huo Yao loaned her chemistry books to Meng Ying on the first day of school. She had actually been studying both arts and sciences the whole time!
Meng Ying shook her head and said, “Sister Big Shot, you’re crazy.”
Huo Yao’s mouth twitched.
“Let’s see if anyone still dares to say you got in through the back door,” muttered Meng Ying proudly with a smug look on her face.
People, Sister Big Shot’s well-versed in both arts and sciences. Jealous bitches should get out of the way!

Lu Xia did not attend school today. She was scheduled to go on a shoot and had taken pre-approved leave from the school. She was so occupied during the filming that she did not even check the preliminary test results.
But her agent knew that she had taken part in the National Quiz Contest, so he helped keep an eye on it. Shortly after rehearsals, the agent handed her the phone with her score and rank.
“Xiaxia, you did well on the test and scored 138 points. You sure are a star student. You’re incredible,” said the agent as he smiled brightly.
He had already started contemplating in his heart about using the National Quiz Contest to help increase Lu Xia’s hype.
After all, there were very few celebrities in the industry with solid family background, good looks, and true intelligence. If he ingeniously publicized Lu Xia’s virtues, nothing would stop her from becoming a big hit!
Lu Xia smiled as she took her agent’s phone.
