Chapter 51: Do you have a bad relationship with Qiao Chen from Class B?

"You weren't implicated because of me, were you?"

Shen Qingqing hadn't expected that she wouldn't only refrain from blaming her, but would actually worry about her. Moved to tears, she shook her head repeatedly: "No, the teacher only said a few words to me. My grades are good, so she won't scold me."

Qiao Nianshu relaxed her brow and smiled. "That's good then!"

Shen Qingqing was moved once again: *Waaaah ┭┮﹏┭┮.*

Liang Bowen hadn't expected her to be so easygoing. He truly had no intention of implying that Shen Qingqing's good intentions had caused trouble, and he began to view her in a slightly different light.

He simply gave her a heads-up: "I saw Qiao Chen's mother going to the Dean's office this morning. Is your relationship with Qiao Chen from Class B not good?"

Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes nonchalantly and answered candidly, "It's indeed not very good."

Liang Bowen: "Then you might be in trouble."

Just as he finished speaking, someone shouted outside the classroom door.

"Qiao Nian! Which one is Qiao Nian? The teacher wants you to go to the Dean's office!"

Shen Qingqing gripped her hands nervously, her face full of anxiety. "What does the teacher want with Qiao Nian? And why the Dean's office?"

"I don't know."

Liang Bowen wasn't close with this new classmate, but for Shen Qingqing's sake, he was willing to offer a kind warning; anything beyond that was none of his business!

"It might be related to what happened yesterday, or it could be something else."

Shen Qingqing didn't understand and asked curiously, "Something else? Qiao Nian just transferred to our class, what else could there be?"

"Don't ask."

Liang Bowen remained cryptic, unwilling to reveal any more.

Basically, everyone in the city's upper social circles knew that the Qiao family had a fake heiress who was at odds with Qiao Chen, and that Qiao Chen's current high-status boyfriend had been snatched away.

It was only natural that the Qiao family didn't welcome Qiao Nian!

...

The Dean's Office.

At this moment, several teachers were engaged in a heated argument.

"Qiao Nian's paper was graded by the Dean and several of us teachers together. It's impossible that we are all wrong!" The Class C homeroom teacher argued vehemently, his face flushed with anger.

Chen Xi, however, remained indifferent, tossing out a casual remark: "Then it's possible she cheated. I've taught at No. 1 High for so long, and I've never seen a student get a perfect score. Even Fu Ge didn't get a perfect score before. Her grades at her previous school were only average; how could she suddenly get a perfect score upon arriving at No. 1 High..."

The Class C homeroom teacher, a man, insisted: "Impossible! We checked the surveillance; Qiao Nian didn't cheat."

"Then the exam papers were leaked. She had them long ago."

"According to you, is Qiao Nian a cheater no matter what?"

Chen Xi shrugged, looking as if she were in the right: "I didn't say that. I'm just saying we can't rule out that possibility."

At this point, Shen Hui, the Class A homeroom teacher, also stepped forward.

Dressed in a professional skirt suit with her hair meticulously pulled back, revealing a stern, square face, she leaned her hands on the desk and said to the Dean with a grim expression, "I don't care whether she cheated on the placement exam. I cannot accept a student of mine who is undisciplined and prone to causing trouble."

"She skipped class without reason on her very first day and even asked her classmates to lie for her. I have never seen such a willful and reckless student!"

Qiao Nian could hear the dispute from outside the office. She raised her hand and knocked on the door, her voice sounding rebellious: "Reporting."
