“No. 15 High School?”

The students in the class looked as surprised as if they had seen an alien.

“Isn’t No. 15 High School a technical school?”

“Didn’t they go there because they couldn’t get into high school?”

“I heard that the students in technical schools have a very…” the latter part of the sentence was not said, but it was more evocative.

Jiang man smiled innocently, but the pride in her eyes was overflowing.

When Mr. Li heard the students’ discussion, he was very unhappy. Why did the principal want to push such a student into his class? She was simply a black sheep.

“Jiang Li, you know how your results are. After entering Yangming, you can’t be the last one like before. You must study hard, understand?”

He wanted to set an example in the class so that his style of study would not be led astray.

Unfortunately, Jiang Li was still indifferent. With a casual look, she leaned against the desk. Her dark eyes were half-closed as she stared at him with a faint smile.

“I know, Mr. Li. I will definitely do my duty and not disturb your wonderful atmosphere of study.”

After saying that, she fell asleep on the desk again.

Mr. Li was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. “As expected, mud can not support a wall!”

He pointed angrily at a few paintings at the side and said.

“No matter what, you have to learn from your sister. She has excellent character, wisdom, and beauty. Not only did she do well in her studies, but she also won awards for her paintings. She can be considered to have won glory for the school.”

A few paintings.

Jiang Li saw the familiar scenery. This was the countryside scenery that she had painted before, right? In order to please her biological parents, she had sent it here. At that time, they looked at her with disdain and said that the things she had sent were not presentable.

She had thought that they had already thrown it away, but she had not expected to see it here.

Why had it suddenly become Jiang Man’s work? And it had even won an award?

When Jiang Man saw Mr. Li mention her paintings, a trace of guilt flashed through her eyes.

At that time, she had won an award with these few paintings. She had enjoyed a good time in class and gained the reputation of a talented woman. If she was exposed here, what would she do?

She looked at Jiang Li in panic.

At this moment, Jiang Li’s pitch-black eyes were also looking at her with a strong sense of sarcasm.

Jiang Man’s expression worsened.

That was right, she had indeed won the prize with those stolen paintings!

However, if it were not for the fact that she was Jiang Man, the daughter of a rich family and loved by people everywhere, she would not have thought that anyone would really look at those few lousy paintings of hers!

At the thought of this, she let go of the uneasiness in her heart.

“Sister, I know that you also like to paint and have participated in competitions. Unfortunately, you haven’t won any prizes either. Don’t be sad.”

She was afraid that Jiang Li would expose her lies on the spot, so she decided to take the initiative and block her words.

However, Jiang Li’s expression was indifferent.

“Oh, sister, you are indeed the daughter of a wealthy family. You are talented and enjoy a good reputation. I sincerely admire you.”

She said with a smile. From the beginning, it seemed that she had no intention of exposing Jiang Man.

In any case, the winning paintings were not signed, and no one had seen them before.

Although she was the one who drew them, she did not have much evidence to back them up.

Jiang Man was originally famous. No one would believe that Jiang Li because she was a poor student from No. 15 High School.

However, this did not stop her from making things difficult for Jiang Man. It was good to disgust her a few times.

“I just don’t know where you drew these paintings. They look very similar to the countryside I lived in. At first glance, I thought you had also been to the countryside.”

When everyone looked at the paintings, they found that they were indeed very rustic countryside scenery. It was a world of difference from Sea City. They could not help but look at Jiang Man in surprise. How could a young lady from the city draw countryside scenery?

Jiang Man’s face showed a panicked expression. “It’s just imagination. As long as you have a beautiful scene in your heart, you can paint a beautiful scene no matter what.”

Hearing Jiang Man’s nonsense, Jiang Li’s smile became even wider. “Sister’s heart is really beautiful.”

The strong sense of irony almost made Jiang Man fly into a rage on the spot. She pinched her palms until they bled a few times before she managed to calm down.
