Not getting angry nor shouting, but even smiling at her.
Yet, what she wanted to do was to drag her out from hiding, step by step.
As if to dismember her piecemeal.
Lu Ning’s treacherous behavior made a chill run down Jiang Yi’s spine. She had little choice but to meticulously compare the three test papers to find out what went wrong.
Then, she finally noticed those dots.
Beads of sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.
She never noticed that she had this sort of habit.
This… !
Subconsciously, she glanced in Lù Yue’an’s direction.
Lù Yue’an sensed that something was wrong, but she only shook her head slightly at her.
Jiang Yi was starting to panic, but she still pretended to be calm.
She looked at Lu Ning and spoke, her voice much louder than before, “I don’t understand what you are intending to achieve. You cheated, so why are you dragging so many people into this?! I ‘
“That’s right! Lu Ning, what are you trying to do?!”
Teacher Lang walked over and stood in front of Jiang Yi, shielding her.
“Teacher Lang, you should take a look at the test papers first.”
The teacher behind him spoke.
At this point, most of them already believed that Lu Ning was innocent.
Puzzled, Teacher Lang turned to look at the test papers on the table.
The bell rang, but everyone in the staff office was completely focused on the test papers.
When the bell stopped ringing, Teacher Lang seemed to have realized something. An abnormal expression flashed across his face.
The moment he turned around, he stared at them. “What does this prove? Don’t try to clear your name in such a way!”
Although he had already sensed that something was wrong, he could no longer take back his words; changing anything would be a slap to his own face. He could only pretend that he did not see anything.
Naturally, Teacher Shen was unwilling to accept this; his previous words were truly unpleasant, and no matter what Lu Ning said he had to find a way to get back at and goad her. Now that the truth was so close at hand, he instead insisted that it could not prove anything.
Now that the truth was so close, he said that he could not prove anything.
The other teachers behind her were also peeved.
“Teacher Lang, did you really look at them clearly? It’s so obvious that those papers share the same writing quirk. That ‘cheating test paper was obviously not done by Lu Ning.”
“Why isn’t she the one who did it?! It’s her handwriting, it’s her name! It’s her test paper; what does a single dot even change?! It’s possible that she did it on purpose!”
Even though he was obviously being unreasonable, he did not want to go down without a fight.
Lu Ning spun around, sitting down on the chair beside Huo Jinyan. She peered at him and said, “It’s certainly possible.”
Leaning back, she crossed her legs and stared at him. “Habits can be deliberately controlled, but they’re hard to change.
“So let’s look at our previous test papers, and see whether Jiang Yi or I have this habit.
“We shall see if Jiang Yi t s handwriting is ever-changing, or if it’s actually my habits that are ever-changing.”
When she finished speaking, she gave Jiang Yi and Teacher Lang a smile. The two of them stared at her, hatred burning in their eyes.
Jiang Yi knew her own situation best, and as Jiang Yi’s form teacher, Teacher Lang naturally was familiar with Jiang Yi’s handwriting.
“Lu Ning, if you’ve cheated then there’s no changing that. If you honestly admit your mistake, then I can be lenient with you. So stop wasting our time here, it’s pointless! Even if you can’t do it yourself, don’t frame other students for your own crooked satisfaction.”
Lu Ning pursed her lips and glared at him. She switched her legs and crossed them again; her posture now looked even more arrogant.
She continued without any panic, “In that case, let us invite the principal over.. We shall see who’s the crooked one—we’ll see who’s lying, who’s covering for whom, and who’s framing whom!”
