Upon being called, Ma Mei immediately reacted reflexively.
"No... I didn't write it. If you say I did, where's the proof?"
Ma Mei learned from Li Yiyi and immediately demanded evidence. Ma Mei harbored a glimmer of hope, thinking that Liu Wen couldn't produce any evidence.
Meeting Liu Wen's disappointed gaze, Ma Mei looked away.
“Evidence: Ma Mei, do you think that because you write with your left hand, no one can recognize it? Have you forgotten that once during a class meeting, everyone was asked to demonstrate their personal skills, and you demonstrated writing with your left hand? The writing from that time is still in the teacher's office.”
As Liu Wen spoke, Ma Mei's face grew paler and paler.
The evidence already exists.
While she was still basking in her self-satisfaction, Liu Wen and the others already knew it was her. She thought no one would discover it, but in reality, she had already given herself away.
During the class meeting, when she was supposed to be showcasing skills, how could she have forgotten that?
"Ma Mei, I'd like to ask you why you wrote this. Don't you know that rumors can ruin a person?"
Why write about rumors?
Ma Mei had a flash of inspiration and remembered why she had written it.
"Teacher, I didn't spread any rumors. Everything written here is what I heard with my own ears."
"We've finally arrived." Li Su smiled, glancing at Long Tian subtly.
Her and Long Tian's plan failed, Ma Mei failed, but that doesn't mean she failed.
“Ma Mei, please explain yourself more clearly.”
Seeing Ma Mei's anxious appearance, Liu Wen believed there was more to the story. Having taught students for so many years, he trusted his students.
But this is the last chance. If Ma Mei disappoints him again, then his trust will be completely exhausted.
"Teacher, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Liu Wen's words gave Ma Mei new hope. Seeing her teacher's disappointment in her made Ma Mei feel bad too.
"Teacher, the day before yesterday, when Li Su and I went to the toilet, I overheard people talking about me and Li Yiyi. They said that Li Yiyi paid them to spread rumors about me, to ruin my reputation, so that she could get comfort from everyone later."
Looking back, and hearing those words again, Ma Mei's shame, which had been obscured by jealousy and anger, finally surfaced.
"Teacher, I didn't mean to. I was just too angry, and that's why I did that. By the way, Teacher Long Tian also helped me drive those people away."
As Li Su had anticipated, Ma Mei implicated Long Tian.
This was also part of Li Su's initial plan. Although Long Tian's idea was good, he forgot many details that could bring someone down.
A hint of smugness flashed in Li Su's eyes as she turned to look at Long Tian with feigned concern, after all, they were still allies in name only.
"Long Tian, tell me about what happened that day."
The moment Ma Mei said it, Long Tian never imagined he would be called out by the teacher.
Before he could say anything, several students walked in from outside. They were students from the upper floor, brought by their teacher.
Long Tian's eyes twitched uncontrollably; he sensed that something bad was about to happen to him.
Who is it? Who exactly is plotting against him?
The first thing Long Tian did was look at Li Su, only to meet her worried gaze.
No, it shouldn't be Li Su. They're in the same boat; Long Tian doesn't believe Li Su would betray him.
This is why Li Su turned her head away and pretended to be worried. After turning back and lowering her head, Li Su could no longer help but smile triumphantly.
Whether it's Long Tian or Ma Mei, they're both part of her plan. If they succeed, she's happy; if they fail, she'll eliminate them.
She learned this two-birds-with-one-stone strategy from Li Hun.
Li Yiyi was also laughing, but she was laughing out of curiosity. Before they could even win her over, the pursuers were already fighting amongst themselves. How amusing!
Someone arrived, so the calling for Long Tian had to be put on hold.
"Teacher Zhang, what's wrong?"
Bringing students to their classroom during class time—could it be that their students have caused trouble again?
Liu Wen felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and silently prayed that it was all good news.
"Teacher Liu, it's like this, some of the students in our class had some dealings with Long Tian. They know they were wrong, so they specifically asked me to bring them here to apologize and also to talk to Long Tian to clear things up."
Transaction, Longtian
In an instant, Liu Wen's brainwaves connected.
"Long Tian, come out here. What kind of deal did you make with them?"
Long Tian's eyelids suddenly stopped twitching. Looking at the familiar faces of the group, he knew that this wave of attacks was aimed at him.
"Teacher Liu, could we apologize to Li Yiyi first?"
First, apologize to Li Yiyi. Liu Wen was taken aback, but agreed. As teachers, they always appreciated students who could admit their mistakes and correct them.
"Li Yiyi, we are very sorry for talking badly about you behind your back. The words written on the paper were meant for Ma Mei. Long Tian paid us to say them on purpose."
oh,
The truth came out: what Ma Mei heard was true, but it was someone else deliberately spreading rumors. The person who truly resented Li Yiyi was Long Tian.
If it weren't for Long Tian, why would he pay someone to speak ill of Li Yiyi?
“Long Tian, we’re sorry. After thinking about it, we’ve decided to return the money to you. We feel really bad for making such a fuss by talking badly about others.”
The matter has been explained clearly, and the words have been spoken plainly.
Liu Wen didn't have much to say, he just couldn't understand why students in other classes knew to feel remorse and admit their mistakes, while those in his own class remained stubbornly unrepentant.
Liu Wen didn't notice the way the girls were looking at Li Su, but Li Yiyi did, since she was sitting right next to Li Su.
