Chapter 1757  Did Not Cheat

"What exactly is going on!" Wu Li asked.

"Uncl… um, it's him! He insulted Qiao Mei and me and even said that Qiao Mei's scores were not real!" Wu Duo said as he pointed at Li Niu.

It was fortunate that he said a different word just in time. Otherwise, if everyone knew about his relationship with Wu Li, he would be caught in an even more difficult situation in the future. In addition, he would not be able to properly explain what happened today and the others might even think that Wu Li was covering up for his relative. If that happened, it would cause Wu Li a lot of trouble.

"It's not just him. There are also others, as well as our classmate Bian Chi, who says that I have an ambiguous relationship with this guy. There are even people who question my results and slander me, saying that I cheated. I want to hold them accountable for everything they say! I also want them to apologize to me! If this issue is not handled properly, then I think these people are immoral! They're not worthy of studying in this school!" Qiao Mei said sternly.

Li Niu had put in a Herculean effort to enter Sixth High to study. How could he be unable to study here just because of a word from Qiao Mei?

"You're talking nonsense!" Li Niu shouted at Qiao Mei.

Wu Li glared at Li Niu and said, "Shut up! She's right! Slandering and spreading rumors! I think you're all too free! If you don't apologize to Qiao Mei and Wu Duo! I'll make you leave Sixth High! Sixth High doesn't welcome students like you!"

"Then how do you explain her results? All of us score 20 to 30 points and she's the only one who scored full marks! We don't buy it!" a pregnant woman in the back row said.

Qiao Mei estimated that the woman was already about eight months pregnant. It was really rare for someone to want to go to school at this stage given how tough it was, but Qiao Mei would not be soft-hearted towards that woman. If anyone bullied her, she would definitely return the favor a hundredfold!

"Just because all of you don't know how to do the test papers, you wrong me and say that I can't possess all this knowledge. Are you too arrogant or too ignorant?" Qiao Mei looked at the pregnant woman and mocked all of them.

"You! You! How can you say that!" the pregnant woman said angrily as she held her chest.

Qiao Mei immediately said, "If you're angry, you'd better sit down and take a rest. Don't hurt the baby. If anything happens, don't try to pin it on me. Besides, I still want to hold you responsible for slandering me. Don't try to run away."

Wu Li picked up the ruler and knocked it forcefully on the podium. The entire class fell silent.

"Where did all of you hear about this? Qiao Mei answered all the questions herself and I saw her do it with my own eyes. I can't guarantee anything about the other subjects, but for mathematics, I'm the one who is in charge of everything, from setting the questions to printing the test papers. Other than me, no one else knows the contents of the test paper," Wu Li said.

Qiao Mei looked at Wu Li with gratitude in her eyes. She did not expect Wu Li to be completely different from her first impression of him. One really could not judge a book by its cover. She had to find an opportunity to apologize to Wu Li in the future.

"What if the two of you are from the same family!" Li Niu said agitatedly.

"You can go and check if the two of us are relatives! If we are! I'll die in front of you right now!" Wu Li said angrily.

They could hear quick footsteps coming down the corridor. A few teachers and the principal came into the classroom together. The students did not expect to have alarmed the principal.

The more Qiao Mei looked at the principal, the more she found him familiar. After thinking for a while, she realized why. This was the elderly grandpa who lived in the most inner part of the alley, the one who often played chess with Qiao Qiang! His name was Yan Xi.

"I've heard about what happened here. I'm the principal of this school. My name is Yan Xi. I'm sure all of you know me," Yan Xi said with a smile.

Yan Xi was from a prestigious family and was highly educated. He had also studied overseas before. After he returned to the country, he worked as a private tutor and many of his students went on to become outstanding elites in society. Later on, he was accepted by the educational unit and was now the principal of Sixth High. Even the principal of Capital University used to be his student!

"It looks like everyone knows me, so I won't say anything else. I have come here today to say that I've already checked this kid's test papers. She didn't cheat. To be honest, it's possible that she has more knowledge than the teachers behind me. The solutions to the test questions are above high school level," Yan Xi said.

"What? Is she really that smart?"

"Is this true? Mr. Yan Xi has already vouched for her."

"Can it be that we have wronged her? But why is she so smart?"
