Chapter 79: Coming Only For Su Huiqing

It must be said that no one could match up to Shen Anan’s scheming in this area.

In that split second, the students who had yet to make up their minds regarding Su Huiqing’s cheating incident, were now all standing on Shen Anan’s side.

The press camera was directly aimed at Shen Anan, prepared to give her an exclusive feature.

Zhang Mingxi’s wavering heart gradually recovered. He held Shen Anan’s hand. “Anan, you don’t need to stoop down to her level. A place at International Association’s University is every student’s dream. Don’t give it up for someone like her. It’s not worth it.”

Shen Anan lowered her eyes, looking very aggrieved.

People were strange creatures. They would always side with the weaker party. The parents of some students couldn’t resist speaking up.

“This student Su must have had a poor upbringing. Not only did she cheat during the exam, she is now forcing another good kid into the corner!”

“She is really shameless. She is just some illegitimate child and has utterly ruined the Su Family’s reputation.”

“I don’t want to attend the same school with such a person.”

Gu Li looked at Shen Anan and the crowd of agitated students.

They were unclear about the details of the matter, but were so easily swayed by Shen Anan. Such a person was even more scary than those online keyboard warriors.

Gu Li unpinned his school badge before taking off his school uniform and tossing it to the side. He said calmly to Su Huiqing. “Qingqing, if you decide to quit school, I will quit with you.”

Qu Yan and Yu Xiangyang followed suit.

“You youngsters…” Teacher Wan had been standing by the side all along. He looked at Gu Li and the rest. They were all very young and prone to impulsive acts.

He should be feeling very contemptuous of such brainless and immature actions.

But he made the same decision as Gu Li. “You are my student and my responsibility. If the school doesn’t handle this fairly, I will quit.”

In one’s lifetime, one must do something wild and reckless at least once. Be it for someone or for justice.

It was very difficult to describe the situation. The students of Class 11 all felt their blood roiling.

With their head teacher and Gu Li leading the way, they fearlessly stood behind their teacher.

Some students from the other classes did the same.

If one had no choice but to describe the situation, perhaps the below phrase could be used:

One could not be called a youth if one’s blood didn’t burn with passion.

Su Huiqing just leaned against the table, watching the crowd with cold, clear eyes.

It wasn’t true that the mighty and powerful never shed tears.

It was just that they bore heavy responsibilities and had many people to protect. They could not fall so easily.

Su Huiqing was well aware of this from a young age.

The more dire the situation, the more one could discover who would continue standing by your side at such times. Only then would you be able to see who were your true friends.

Su Huiqing’s gaze slid across Qu Yan, Yu Xiangyang, Gu Li, the head teacher, the rest of Class 11, and a number of other people who remained loyal to her.

Just moments ago, she was still thinking about quitting school right after settling this matter.

But now, because of them, she decided to give up on that idea.

For the first time, she felt a sense of belonging to this school and this class.

She chuckled. Yi Zhong High School’s uniform was a simple black and white design and fitted her perfectly. She looked very cool and domineering when she lifted her eyes to survey the scene.

“I was born with a photographic memory.” Su Huiqing casually brushed back her hair before tilting her head to smile at the principal of the International Association’s University. “Principal Dien, you can test me any way you wish.”

Principal Dien looked at Su Huiqing’s smile and his murky eyes narrowed slightly. He hesitated for a second before replying.

“No need to test, I believe you.” Principal Dien waved his hand.

“Principal, don’t be fooled by her…” The Dean’s expression changed.

“What do you guys know anyway?” Principal Dien interrupted the Dean. He focused on the countless students before him. “The questions were personally formulated by the professors from our school, and the answers were only revealed last night. Do you know that the person whom you are accusing of cheating… is the only person in the whole world who got full marks for integrated science! Who did you think she copied her answers from?”

He pointed at the obvious “No. 3” on the big screen.

“Please take a good look at that No. 3 placing! Those who managed to rank among the top hundred are all outstanding elite youths with boundless futures before them! Don’t try measuring the worth of this ranking with your own narrow-minded notions. Would cheating alone give someone a No. 3 placing worldwide? Would cheating alone be able to surpass all those great geniuses? Do you think the students in my Monster University are just a bunch of useless trash?”

Silence fell across the crowd.

All the students who had been noisily voicing out their opinions went quiet!

Yes, who could she copy from?

“A school’s fundamental reason for existence is to educate, not to be used to further one’s selfish ambitions and motives,” Dien said meaningfully.

Shen Anan had no idea that Principal Dien would be so protective toward Su Huiqing.

She was well aware of how useless this Su Huiqing was. How could such a person achieve a No. 3 ranking?

“Principal, my sister’s results are clear for all to see.” She looked at Principal Dien and pursed her lips. “If you insist on believing her, I will reconsider whether to attend your school…”

“There is no need for you to reconsider.” Principal Dien gave Shen Anan a meaningful look.

He was well aware that the current situation was largely instigated by this person before him. She was a person with nefarious intentions. “I never thought of accepting you in the first place. If not for the fact that Student Su’s results were so eye-catching, I would not have noticed you at all. I have come to Green City solely for Su Huiqing, that’s all.”
