Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“What? You stole the test papers with us, you kept an eye outside. How could you not admit it?”

Gu Qiu cried.

“What are you talking about? When did I steal the test papers with you guys? I didn’t do it!”

Lan Yaxin desperately tried to clear her name and the two of them panicked.

“No, how could you lie? You agreed when we wanted to steal the test papers, how could you not admit it?”

Yang Qing cried as she pulled Lan Yaxin.

“I didn’t know about this at all, you can’t drag me into this. She is my sister. Although we weren’t on good terms before, it wasn’t to the extent of framing her. Why are you framing her?”

Lan Yaxin started to cry as she spoke.

“Yaxin, we framed Lan Anran because of you, but now you are drawing a line? We have no reason to frame her.” Gu Qiu looked at the principal angrily and cried.

“I really didn’t know, you can’t accuse me. I wouldn’t have agreed if I had known. You can’t treat me and my sister like this, just admit it,” Lan Yaxin pulled Lan Anran and said.

“Yaxin, are you sure this has nothing to do with you?” Lan Anran shook off Lan Yaxin’s hand and questioned.

“Of course, why would I harm you? I have always been studying at home and have never been to school to steal test papers.”

“Lan Yaxin! We did it to help you!”

Yang Qing was furious. She originally thought she was helping a friend, but she never expected to be actually helping a poisonous snake!

“Help me? I don’t need your help. You want to harm my sister? Principal, expel them!” Lan Yaxin said the most heartless words to her two close friends.

“See? True friends are revealed in times of need. This is your good friend,” Lan Anran smiled and said.

“Sis, what are you saying? You think I did it too?” Lan Yaxin was a little upset and asked.

“We saw Yang Qing and Gu Qiu in the surveillance camera, but not Lan Yaxin.”

The principal looked at the surveillance camera.

Yang Qing finally understood. Lan Yaxin had always been using her while she hid in the back to be the victor. They were all cannon fodder!

“Sis, you have to believe me, I didn’t do it. I don’t know why they accused me. I’m usually on good terms with them, but I never allowed them to frame you. Sis, you have to believe me.”

Lan Yaxin cried.

At this point, she had to act well. It was better if she only lost these two pieces of trash.

Lan Anran just smiled. She knew very well that this was just an act. In her past life, she acted very well and even deceived her. She wasn’t foolish this time.

“I believe you, of course I believe you,” Lan Anran smiled and said.

“Lan Anran, you still believe her? Can’t you see what happened to us? You will regret this!”

Yang Qing wiped her tears and said,

“Principal, Director, let us go. We won’t dare to do it again.”

Gu Qiu begged.

The principal frowned and said after a while, “Lan Yaxin, go back first, don’t talk about this.”

“Thank you, principal!”

Lan Yaxin wiped her tears and walked out. Her expression changed in a second. Previously, she looked miserable like a pear blossom bathed in rain, but now, her gaze became vicious.

“Lan Anran, since you are still innocent, I will definitely clear your name. You should go back first.”

The principal sighed.

“You two, I’m going to have to deal with this seriously. Call your parents. This is serious, you might even get expelled!”

The principal sighed.

“Expel? No! I don’t want to be expelled! I want to go to school!”

Gu Qiu knelt down in tears.

“You’ll have to pay for your mistakes!”

The dean was solemn.

“Dean, Principal, even though this is a stain, they are still students and I hope that the punishment will be light.”

Lan Anran suddenly spoke.

“You don’t blame them?”

The principal nudged his glasses.

“They should already know their mistakes. Besides, I don’t care about what others think.”

Lan Anran’s magnanimity impressed the principal.

“Good, good, good!”

The principal smiled.

“Since that’s the case, even though Lan Anran pleaded on your behalf, punishment is necessary. You must apologize to Lan Anran. You will be withdrawing from the experimental class on your own accord for a month during this test. I will hold you accountable for the parent-teacher incident and will forgive you if you perform well in the future!”

The principal continued.

“Thank you, principal! Thank you!”

Gu Qiu was excited.

“You should be thanking Lan Anran!”

the dean said.

“Dean, you haven’t apologized to me!”

Lan Anran suddenly spoke to the dean.

“You…”

“Teacher Zhou, you should apologize. You should apologize for maligning someone. As a teacher, you can’t go back on your words,” the principal said.

“I’m sorry, I misunderstood you, Lan Anran!”

The dean spoke.

“It’s alright.”

Lan Anran walked out of the office happily.

“You’re still so happy after being exposed?” a classmate said.

“How shameless!”
