Chapter 47 Release of the Rankings
47 Release of the Rankings
“Teacher Hu, do you have evidence?” Shi Man looked at her leisurely. Initially, she did not want to deal with these people who had nothing to do with the plot. However, Hu Jing insisted on barging in, so she could only accept it.
“I’ll be invigilating the next round. I’ll definitely catch you.”
Hu Jing said ruthlessly, leaving Shi Man alone to suffer the criticism of the surrounding students.
This discussion was a common occurrence for Shi Man. She pretended not to hear it and turned to look at the fallen leaves outside the window. Her fingers tapped the table rhythmically as if she was calculating something.
In the next exam, Hu Jing stared fixedly at Shi Man, but she did not find any traces of her cheating. This made her panic. If she could not find evidence, Shi Man would really succeed!
She bit her lower lip and walked down the podium to look at her paper again. As in the previous exam, her answers were almost all right.
No! She must have forgotten something!
Could it be… Thinking of the only possibility, Hu Jing felt confident. She took out her phone and sent a message to Director Zou, requesting to check the surveillance cameras before the exam.
Director Zou was busy with other things and refused to reply.
Hu Jing could only stabilize her mind for the time being and sit back down to comfort herself. As long as Shi Man cheated, with her stupidity, she would definitely leave evidence. She did not believe that she could not find any evidence!
After a day of exams, Second Brother Shi Yu came to pick his sister up from school today.
Shi Mu had originally planned to rush over to take his sister away after the exam. Unfortunately, he was entangled in the Student Union’s matters. Not only could he not pick his sister up, but he would also have to stay behind to work overtime. He could only watch as his sister got into Shi Yu’s car and continued to busy himself with the work at hand.
Shi Jing sat in the car and obediently occupied only a small portion of the backseat. Then, she blinked and pretended to be intimate. “Manman, how did you do today?”
“Not bad.” Shi Man looked at Shi Jing’s reflection in the rearview mirror and smiled. “You must have answered very well, right?”
Shi Jing pretended to be humble and said, “I changed schools late and just did my best.”
On the surface, she looked shy, but in fact, Shi Jing was overjoyed. Last night, she had memorized the questions in advance. Today, it was effortless for her to do the questions. This time, she would definitely be able to enter Class S easily and leave Shi Man in the dust!
Shi Man sneered and leaned back in her chair, closing her eyes to rest.
Shi Yu thought that his sister did not do well in the exam today and was shocked. He hurriedly comforted her. “It’s okay. Even if you don’t do well, I will reward you. After all, we have seen your recent efforts.”
Shi Man opened one eye slightly and looked at his gentle side profile. She couldn’t help but laugh. “Why are you the same as Fourth Brother? You have to reward me. Did you discuss it together?”
Seeing with her own eyes how much the brothers of the Shi family doted on Shi Man, Shi Jing clenched her hands on her knees and gritted her teeth in jealousy.
She only hoped that time would pass faster now. She could not wait to see the Shi family being dumbfounded and treating her differently!
On the day the results were released, Shi Jing woke up early and ran to school happily.
At the entrance of the teaching building, the surrounding students had already caused a congestion. The person who had finally squeezed to the front was shocked when he saw the name on the rankings. “How is this possible? Did the teacher make a mistake?”
“What’s impossible?” Shi Jing squeezed into the front row with curved eyes. As she wished, she saw herself ranked third in the cohort. She immediately felt that the sun had risen for her this morning, but she maintained an incredulous expression. “How could this be? How could I have gotten third place?”
“Congratulations, Shi Jing.” Her classmates from Class D looked at her sourly. There were few sincere compliments, but this was enough for Shi Jing.
She smiled and said a few humble words. She even expressed that she was willing to help her classmates improve in the future and pulled in a wave of good impressions. It was only when a discordant voice barged in that the smile on her face suddenly froze.
“No, why are you only concerned about Shi Jing? Didn’t you see who ranked fourth in the cohort?”
A bad feeling arose. Shi Jing suddenly looked up and realized that the person below her was Shi Man!
Didn’t she decide against looking at the questions?
Her shocked expression froze on her face. Noticing the surprised gazes of the surrounding people, she suddenly came back to her senses and said in confusion, “Sister hasn’t been studying at home recently. I didn’t expect her to score so well!”
