Chapter 53 - 53 The Dust Settled
53 The Dust Settled
Hu Jing’s hands trembled. A moment later, she scored full marks in the blank area at the top of Shi Man’s paper. On the other hand, Song Zhi’s attempt had a mistake in the last big question. There was also a mistake in the previous question and she only got 95 points. Shi Jing’s score was even worse. Her answers were a mess and she did not even pass.
“How did this happen?”
Song Zhi could not accept such an outcome. She snatched Shi Man’s test paper and looked at it repeatedly, but she could not find any problems.
Seeing their different reactions, Su Tang knew that Shi Man was definitely going to win this time. Her heart finally settled. However, she was timid and did not dare to snatch the paper from Song Zhi. Otherwise, she really wanted to take a good look at Shi Man’s answer sheet. She was sincerely happy for her.
Shi Mu obviously did not have so many worries. He frowned and took the test paper from Song Zhi’s hand worriedly. When he saw the scores on it, his eyes widened in shock.
Some of the bolder female students went to Shi Mu’s side. Initially, they only wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Shi Mu and make him notice them. However, when their gaze inadvertently landed on the test paper, they could not look away. They even forgot about the handsome Shi Mu beside them and screamed in fear, “How is that possible? Shi Man actually got full marks!”
Everyone did not expect such an outcome in the end. They squeezed over curiously, wanting to see with their own eyes if that person had seen wrongly.
“Quiet!” Shi Mu retreated from the crowd in frustration. Holding the test paper in his hand, he raised his eyebrows at Hu Jing and Song Zhi in a good mood. “Are you convinced? Let’s see who still dares to say that my sister’s academic results are bad in the future!”
Among the people present, Shi Mu was the one who was happier than Shi Man herself. He had long disliked these people who talked about his sister behind her back, but because he was the president of the Student Union, he could not teach them a lesson openly.
He did not expect his precious sister to be so hardworking. This gave all of them a resounding slap in the face!
His sister was the best! He would see who dared to say anything bad about her in the future!
Being criticized by a student in public, Hu Jing felt humiliated even though the student was the third young master of the Shi family and the president of the Student Union. She glared at Song Zhi, who was still arrogant just now, and vented her anger at her.
If not for the fact that she thought highly of herself and insisted on competing, how could she, Hu Jing, the form teacher of Class S, be so embarrassed? If she had known earlier, she shouldn’t have believed Song Zhi. If it were the number one student in their class, the outcome would definitely be completely different!
It was all her fault!
With this thought in mind, Hu Jing had a lot of resentment toward Song Zhi. Her tone was a little harsh. “Go back! If you dare to embarrass yourself again in the future, scram to Class A!”
“Teacher Hu, I’m sorry.” Song Zhi’s eyes were red. She had always been one of the top students in the class. Usually, because she looked sweet and knew how to flatter, she was well-liked by the teachers. It was unprecedented for her to be reprimanded in public like this. She immediately cried aggrievedly.
Seeing that she was crying, Hu Jing waved her hand in frustration and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Shi Man slowly walked in front of her and blocked her way.
Hu Jing looked up and asked impatiently, “You’ve already proven your innocence. What else do you want?”
“Apologize,” Shi Man said without hesitation.
The surrounding students and teachers immediately gasped. They had been in school for so long, so who didn’t know that Teacher Hu Jing had always been arrogant?
She had always been the one to bully others, and she had never apologized to anyone.
At this moment, Shi Man was really bold. When the students saw this scene, they could not help but admire her. Shi Man didn’t seem to be as incorrigible as the rumors said. At least she aced the test fair and square. She even obtained full marks with her own ability. No matter how incredulous others felt, this was an unchangeable fact.
“Not only you but you too.” Shi Man looked casually at Song Zhi, who was trying her best to hide behind Hu Jing and reduce her presence. She forced the two of them to a dead end in the most casual tone.
Hu Jing gritted her teeth. She turned around and left, not wanting to stay and embarrass herself.
Without Hu Jing blocking in front of her, Song Zhi was naturally forced to be exposed in front of everyone. She bit her lower lip tightly, her face turning green and white. The blood drained from her face, and her uneasy fingers stirred her clothes. After a while, seeing that no one was speaking up for her, she finally endured the humiliation and said, “I’m sorry.”
Only then did Shi Man let her leave. Looking at Song Zhi’s back as she wiped her tears and fled, she slowly retracted her gaze and looked at Shi Jing, who had long collapsed to the ground. She said slowly, “Director Zou, I’ll leave Shi Jing to you to deal with her impartially according to the school rules.”
“Yes, our Shi family will definitely not cover up for her!” Shi Mu naturally stood on his sister’s side. Shi Jing harbored evil intentions and had framed his precious sister more than once. It was already his family’s kindness that she could be kept alive until now!
