Chapter 21 You owe Ye Zhen an apology
"Just now you all accused Ye Zhen of plagiarism, and even forced her to admit it. Now that the truth is out, shouldn't you apologize to Ye Zhen?"
He Hanjing's voice was clear and cold, each sentence logical and piercing.
Ye Chengdong was speechless for a moment.
Ye Chengbei stepped in front of Ye Zhenzhu: "Ye Zhen, don't go too far. Zhenzhu is already upset enough. We're family, why make such a fuss?"
Ye Chengdong remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement with this statement.
Ye Zhen stepped forward and slapped Ye Chengbei across the face.
Ye Chengbei, enraged and embarrassed, demanded, "What are you doing?"
Ye Zhen slapped him again with her backhand: "What are you yelling about? You still owe me a kneeling apology, right? Since you want to stand up for Ye Zhenzhu, then take a slap for her. You can't let all the nice things be said while I have to swallow all the disgust, can you?"
Ye Zhenzhu stayed hidden behind Ye Chengbei the whole time, without saying a word.
Feeling humiliated in front of so many people, Ye Chengbei was about to retaliate.
Ye Zhen sneered: "If you dare to make a move, I'll turn around and tell the reporters outside about Ye Zhenzhu's plagiarism. I believe the media would love this kind of news."
"no!"
Ye Chengdong was the first to refuse; this kind of thing definitely had to be suppressed.
Ye Zhen knew Ye Chengdong wouldn't agree, so she said calmly, "Then you should know how to shut me up, right, brother?"
"Ye Zhen, can't we talk about this at home? After all, there are so many outsiders watching here."
Ye Zhen smiled bitterly: "If any of you had considered my feelings just now, I would have been more accommodating now."
Unfortunately, no.
Ye Chengdong felt as if something had stabbed him hard, and he felt a little sad. Yes, when Ye Zhen was suspected of plagiarism, did she feel the same way?
Ye Chengdong looked over and said, "You two, apologize to Ye Zhen right now."
"Brother, why should I apologize?"
Ye Chengdong walked over and lowered his voice: "I don't care what you two have done, but if it affects the reputation of our Ye family and the stock price, can you bear the consequences?"
Ye Zhenzhu hid behind Ye Chengbei, so angry she couldn't breathe.
That bitch Ye Zhen is still relentlessly pursuing me, how despicable!
Ye Zhenzhu knew that her actions had already displeased her elder brother. She was not a biological daughter of the Ye family, and if she didn't do something to make amends, she would have no standing in the Ye family in the future.
Ye Zhenzhu gritted her teeth and stepped forward, her eyes red from crying: "I'll apologize on behalf of Fourth Brother."
Ye Zhen looked at Bai Lianhua, who came to her with a pitiful expression.
Ye Zhenzhu choked up and said, "Sister, it's all my fault. You can hit me or scold me as you please."
Ye Zhen watched Bai Lianhua's performance and could only laugh.
It seems that the "white lotus" is trying to cover up the plagiarism by playing the victim.
Seeing that Ye Chengdong and Ye Chengbei didn't react, Ye Zhenzhu gritted her teeth and knelt down, crying, "I'm kneeling down to apologize to you on behalf of my fourth brother."
As soon as Ye Zhen knelt down, she saw Ye Chengbei step forward and pull Ye Zhenzhu up.
Ye Chengbei was concerned about Ye Zhenzhu: "Are you alright?"
Ye Zhenzhu shook her head.
Ye Chengdong looked at Ye Zhen and said, "Qian also said that this matter ends here."
Ye Zhen burst out laughing, her eyes dripping with sarcasm.
The white lotus flower is truly flexible and adaptable.
Ye Chengdong felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look Ye Zhen in the eye: "Anyway, you handed in a blank paper, so come back with us."
Ye Zhen turned her head away from him and said, "No, I want to stay and wait for the final result."
Ye Chengdong didn't say anything, turned around and left with Ye Zhenzhu.
He Baizhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Ye Zhen, I'll go check on Pearl. There must be some misunderstanding."
He Baizhou left after he finished speaking.
Ye Zhen didn't even lift her eyelids, after all, these were all insignificant people.
When He Hanjing saw Ye Zhen standing alone in the same spot, his chest felt incredibly tight.
He only realized now that she was not doing well after returning to the Ye family.
Ye Zhen is clearly the biological daughter, but just now, Ye Zhen's two older brothers clearly showed favoritism towards Ye Zhen.
He couldn't help but walk over and whisper, "Those people aren't worth it."
Hearing the man's voice, Ye Zhen turned her head to look at him, and pursed her lips, saying, "Thank you."
This man had been speaking up for me the whole time.
Actually, there's a bit of a misunderstanding about why the paper was blank.
He Hanjing's gaze fell on her fair face: "Why did you hand in a blank paper?"
He now understood Ye Zhen's plan.
If he hadn't intervened, by the time the examiners saw Ye Zhen's submitted exam paper, the writing on it would have long since disappeared.
But this time, because he intervened, he directly moved her and Ye Zhenzhu's test papers to the front, and that's when they saw two identical sets of data.
Ye Zhen hesitated for a moment, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.
I can't exactly tell this man that I deliberately schemed against Ye Zhenzhu, can I?
She thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I didn't want to participate in this competition. I was forced to participate, so I submitted a blank paper in protest."
He Hanjing knew she wasn't telling the truth.
He hasn't yet figured out how Ye Zhenzhu plagiarized Ye Zhen's data.
Ye Zhen turned her head to look at him: "May I ask, is Liu Qing the first place winner this time?"
"Yes, it's her."
"Very good."
Ye Zhen wanted to stay here because she wanted to see Liu Qing win first place.
After all, Liu Qing had been speaking up for her the whole time.
Seeing the smile on her face, He Hanjing paused and said, "Our lab has a project with Yunnan University. If you can participate and produce results, you can be directly admitted to Yunnan University."
Ye Zhen knew about this project; she had heard that it was led by He Shen and was highly valuable.
But if we can't find a way to fix Ye Zhenzhu's cheat code...
Perhaps this is the only way for her to get into university through a special admission program.
Otherwise, their college entrance exam scores will be stolen.
But this matter must be carried out in secret, lest Ye Zhenzhu find out and use that cheat to cause trouble again.
Ye Zhen said, "There are so many people competing for this project, I might not be selected. Let's talk about it later."
At this point, it had already been announced that Liu Qing was in first place.
Ye Zhen walked over to Liu Qing to offer her congratulations.
He Hanjing watched her retreating figure, but ultimately said nothing.
After Ye Zhen finished speaking with Liu Qing, she turned around but didn't see the man from before. He was a really strange person.
She had initially thought he was crazy, but it turned out he was a researcher at the institute.
Liu Qing smiled and said, "Except for the Ye family who are blind, everyone else knows perfectly well that the truth is on our side. Our school's basketball team will be playing against yours next week, and I'll come and visit you then."
Ye Zhen nodded.
In her past life, she had few friends because she had to please the Ye family, but that won't happen in this life.
——
When Ye Zhen returned to the Ye family, the atmosphere was as if someone had died.
Indeed, the plagiarism incident involving Ye Zhenzhu has thoroughly humiliated both Ye Chengbei and Ye Chengdong.
After Ye Zhen entered the hall, she said to the housekeeper, "Make something delicious for dinner."
Ye Chengbei and Ye Chengdong went downstairs one after the other, with Ye Zhenzhu walking in the middle, looking very aggrieved.
Ye Chengbei couldn't help but sneer, "You've lost so much face outside today, and you still have the appetite to eat something delicious?"
