1755 You Are the One Who Cheated
She had seen how fast Qiao Mei finished the test papers. Coupled with the expression on the teacher’s face, she could already guess that Qiao Mei had very good results. Her family was definitely going to lose this bet. Then again, she did not like the headdress at all and saw it as a worthless thing. She did not know why Qiao Mei thought of it as a treasure.
When they lost the bet, Xu Ju would definitely fly into a rage. At that time, she would definitely have a tough time. She might as well eat more delicious food during this one-year period and improve her own health so that she could withstand beatings in the future!
“Alright! It’s a deal! I’ll definitely let Xu Man come to Sixth High to study this week! But I have a question. Should she continue in her current year or be in the same class as us?” Xu Jiao asked.
Xu Man was one year behind Xu Jiao in school, but Xu Man already knew as much as her seniors. It would not be a problem for her to skip one year. She might even do well in the examination this year!
“Let her be in the same class as us. She can sit next to me,” Qiao Mei said.
“She should sit there just because you tell her to? Besides, what about the teacher’s opinion?” Xu Jiao asked as she looked at Qiao Mei in disbelief.
“I have my ways. You don’t have to worry about it,” Qiao Mei said.
Xu Jiao nodded obediently. She wanted to sit on the sofa to relax and watch television like Qiao Mei after the meal, but Qiao Mei did not make any space for her and even asked her to go and do the dishes.
“Qiao Mei! You’re too much! I don’t even do this at home! You actually want me to do the dishes! I’m going to tell my mother!” Xu Jiao pointed at Qiao Mei and shouted angrily.
“That’s at your house. Now we’re at my house. Isn’t it fair for you to do the dishes since I’m the one who cooked? I haven’t even asked you to pay for your share of the groceries yet! If you tell your mother, then don’t come here again! If you want to eat and drink for free in the future, go and do the dishes now! Move away! You’re blocking me from watching television!” Qiao Mei waved her hand and said impatiently.
Xu Jiao went to the kitchen angrily. Not having real life experience was never an issue. Xu Jiao knew how to do the dishes, but it was just that she had never done it before. Xu Man was the one who did all the housework at home.
She picked up a bowl angrily and was about to smash it when Qiao Mei’s voice came from behind her. “Those bowls and chopsticks are all expensive items. If you break them, you have to pay! This is not your aunt’s house. This family has no relation with your Xu family at all. You’d better be careful.”
Xu Jiao put down the bowl in her hand gently and aggrievedly. This bowl actually cost more than her life. With tears in her eyes, she quietly squatted in the kitchen to wash the dishes. Qiao Mei watched television in the living room, feeling satisfied. The lunch break was coming to an end. Qiao Mei called Xu Jiao to leave Xia Fang’s house together. Along the way, Xu Jiao kept throwing a tantrum at Qiao Mei and even quickened her pace, not wanting to reach the classroom at the same time as Qiao Mei.
Qiao Mei even found Xu Jiao to be quite cute. Young girls were typically more hot-tempered. Qiao Mei even began to wonder if Xu Jiao would want to “unfriend” her if she provoked Xu Ju in the future.
As soon as Qiao Mei stepped into the classroom, someone in the back row pointed at her and shouted, “She’s the one who cheated! Everyone, come and take a look!”
“Are you… talking about me?” Qiao Mei stopped in her tracks and asked the people in the classroom.
“Yes, you! If you didn’t cheat, how can you get full marks in all the subjects!”
“That’s right! None of us can answer such difficult questions correctly! How can you manage to get full marks!”
“Look at her! She must have done something behind our backs!”
“Definitely! I think so too! She must have cheated! It’s good that we bring up this issue now! Otherwise, she’ll get full marks again for the next few subjects!”
A few students who were originally neutral about the issue also began to waver. They eventually joined those people who were slandering Qiao Mei.
Ever since the brooch came into Qiao Mei’s possession, her hearing and vision had improved greatly. She could immediately tell that it was the woman sitting in front of Xu Jiao who had yelled out first. During the roll call this morning, that woman had answered to a name which seemed to be… Bian Chi.
“You must be the first person who said I cheated. Your name is Bian Chi, right?” Qiao Mei looked through the crowd to stare at Bian Chi and questioned her.
Bian Chi did not expect Qiao Mei to discover that it was her. Since she had already shouted earlier, she decided to go all out. She stood up and said, “That’s right! I’m the one! You’re the one who cheated! We all think that you cheated!”
