The homeroom teacher's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly poured tea for Huo Qingyan. "Ms. Huo, why didn't you let us know you were coming to school? We could have come to welcome you."
Huo Qingyan lazily placed her bag on the desk and accepted the tea from the homeroom teacher. "I happened to pass by and remembered that my son and future daughter-in-law are at this school, so I thought I'd come and see them. Qin Xuan said Xiaozhou was in your office, so I came."
The homeroom teacher broke out in a cold sweat. Huo Qingyan was one of the investors in this school, and she held the largest share. Even the principal didn't dare to say anything harsh to Huo Qingyan.
However, when Huo Qingyan said that Ye Zhizhou was her future daughter-in-law, it meant that Ye Zhizhou and Qin Xuan were a couple.
The homeroom teacher's gaze towards Ye Zhizhou suddenly changed. Huo Qingyan was not only one of the investors, but also the youngest female diplomat, which speaks volumes about her extensive knowledge.
The fact that Huo Qingyan chose Ye Zhizhou as her daughter-in-law means that Ye Zhizhou met her standards.
"Ms. Huo, it's like this, the school only criticizes students who cheat, not expels them. It was Ye Zhizhou who said he wanted to drop out." The homeroom teacher quickly distanced herself from the situation.
Huo Qingyan looked at Ye Zhizhou, "Xiaozhou, is this school making you unhappy? Aunt Huo believes you won't cheat. If you don't want to stay here anymore, you can transfer schools with Qin Xuan."
Ye Zhizhou pursed his lips. "I have a way to prove my innocence, but the school seems to be in a bit of a hurry."
If Qin Xuan and Ye Zhizhou transfer schools together, the school will lose a promising student. The homeroom teacher's expression changed. "I will talk to the principal about delaying it. Don't worry."
Before Huo Qingyan came in, the homeroom teacher had a very businesslike attitude, but after Huo Qingyan came in, she became very enthusiastic.
Ye Zhizhou's gaze was firm. "No need. I can find out by tomorrow afternoon."
She didn't want to be controlled by others and preferred to be ahead of everyone else in everything.
As Huo Qingyan left the office, she worried about Ye Zhizhou. "Xiaozhou, why don't you ask for leave and go home first?"
Ye Zhizhou shook his head. "Aunt Huo, rumors don't matter to me. The truth is more important."
Her brother's side was slower, so she decided to check it herself. After filtering through her memories, Ye Zhizhou deduced the perspective of the person who could see her exam paper and then confirmed the exam number.
Huo Qingyan got the exam room roster for her. Ye Zhizhou didn't go to the next class, but instead looked at the information in the special VIP room that the school had set up for Huo Qingyan.
Four people were selected in total, and these four people were located at the four corners of her seat.
Ye Zhizhou looked at the names of the four people and didn't recognize any of them. They were also from different classes, clearly indicating the seating arrangement had been shuffled. The school always shuffles the seating before exams to prevent cheating.
Even if the seating arrangement is shuffled in advance, there is still a possibility that the seating arrangement will be leaked.
"Is she one of these four people?" Huo Qingyan looked at the densely packed seating chart and was impressed by Ye Zhizhou's composure. She was indeed her best friend's daughter.
Ye Zhizhou nodded and crossed out two more, "To be precise, it should be one of these two."
The note came from behind her, which could only be done by the person sitting behind her.
Just then, Ye Qian sent a message. Ye Zhizhou opened it, and the handwriting on the picture was exactly the same as the handwriting on the note.
[Ye Qian: Zhouzhou, the investigation is in. It's Qiao Shuxu from Class 3, Grade 3.]
Qiao Shuxu from Class 3, Grade 3. Ye Zhizhou glanced at the list of people to be identified, but the name did not appear.
"Xiao Zhou, this is not what you said." Huo Qingyan also saw the message sent by Ye Qian and became even more worried about Ye Zhizhou.
When Ye Zhizhou first saw the name Qiao Shuxu, she was indeed a little flustered, but only for a moment before she understood.
If the other party wanted to frame her for cheating but refused to reveal their name, they wouldn't have gone through just one roundabout way. However, Qiao Shuxu herself was indeed in this examination room, just far away from Ye Zhizhou.
So it's safe to say that Qiao Shuxu was the one who reported her for cheating, and this note was probably handed over by Qiao Shuxu as well, but whether it was written beforehand or afterward is hard to say.
"Aunt Huo, I'm going to find someone!"
Ye Zhizhou wanted to meet Qiao Shuxu, so he told Huo Qingyan and hurriedly left the office.
Huo Qingyan opened WeChat and silently sent a message to her son, informing him of Qin Xuanye's whereabouts.
"Qiao Shuxu, someone is looking for you!"
Ye Zhizhou stood at the door and waited for a while before Qiao Shuxu came out. Qiao Shuxu was a boy who looked gentle and weak.
"You wrote this, right?"
She held up her phone and showed the photo to Qiao Shuxu, who looked flustered and repeatedly denied it, "No, it wasn't me."
Ye Zhizhou sneered, "Since you say it's not you, then I'll call all your classmates out and let them see if this is your handwriting."
"Ye Zhizhou, what are you doing? You cheated and then came to cause trouble for your classmates!" Although Shu Qiong was in Class 8, she often went back to Class 3, after all, it was the class she had been in for so long.
Ye Zhizhou glanced at Shu Qiong, ignored her, and continued to look at Qiao Shuxu, asking, "Qiao Shuxu, is the handwriting yours?"
Qiao Shuxu's face turned completely red. She didn't dare to look at Ye Zhizhou. As soon as she saw Shu Qiong arrive, she hid behind Shu Qiong.
Ye Zhizhou noticed his action. Qiao Shuxu wasn't very bold; he wouldn't do something like falsely accusing someone of cheating unless someone instructed him to do so.
He and Shu Qiong are good friends, and it cannot be ruled out that Shu Qiong might be taking advantage of him.
"What are you feeling guilty about? You dare to do it but you don't dare to admit it?" Ye Zhizhou raised his voice a bit. The more this happened, the more confident he had to be, to make the other person feel scared and guilty.
Sure enough, fine beads of sweat began to appear on Qiao Shuxu's face, and he kept repeating the word "I".
Seeing this, Shu Qiong angrily said to Ye Zhizhou, "Ye Zhizhou, it's one thing for you to be arrogant normally, but it's not very nice to come to someone else's class and cause a scene like this."
Ye Zhizhou sneered, "You're so protective of him, why don't you accuse me of cheating and say it's related to you?"
Shu Qiong was clearly flustered, but she tried to remain calm in front of many people. "Don't talk nonsense. I don't know anything about this. I just can't stand you bullying your classmates."
Often, the things we try so hard to deny are the most true.
Ye Zhizhou curled his lip. "Then let's go directly to the principal's office and ask him. We'll check carefully. As long as he has no problem, I won't say a word more."
Qiao Shuxu remained silent. Ye Zhizhou stepped forward to grab his arm and head to the principal's office, but he shoved her away, and she was almost thrown off.
"Let me go!" Qiao Shuxu suddenly burst out with strength and desperately pushed Ye Zhizhou away. Although Ye Zhizhou knew some jujitsu, his physical strength was still far inferior to that of a man. In addition, her position made it difficult to get a foothold, and she was thrown back a meter.
There was a step right behind her, and Ye Zhizhou's heel missed the step, causing her body to fall uncontrollably, with the stairs behind her.
Why didn't you invite me to come along?
Just when she thought she was about to fall flat on her face, Qin Xuan's strong arms encircled her in his embrace, and she could hear the pounding of his heart in his chest.
