Chapter 278: 088: Lu Someone is Jealous, Abacus as Wished_3

In the countryside, the grades were average...

But to get first place in the transfer student exam at Qingzhong School?

That’s just too outrageous!

Could it be cheating?

Huang Xiaojiao narrowed her eyes, very pleased with everyone’s reaction.

Ma Xiuping’s voice rose again, "I hope everyone can get along well with the new student, and if you encounter any problems in your future studies, you can help each other out!"

With that, Ma Xiuping turned to Lin Wu, "Lin Wu, you can sit there."

"Thank you, Teacher Ma."

Lin Wu, with her backpack, walked towards the only vacant seat below the platform.

Her new deskmate was a slim and frail-looking girl who greeted Lin Wu cautiously, "Hello, my name is Miao Yajing. The Miao from He Miao, the ya from elegant, and the jing from quiet."

Lin Wu glanced back slightly, "Hello."

Just two words.

Miao Yajing shrank her shoulders. Not only was the new student good-looking, but she also had such a strong presence that Yajing felt intimidated to speak. What should she do?

For the entire class period, Miao Yajing didn’t say another word.

She even dared not look at Lin Wu again.

After class, Shen Lijun immediately ran over to Lin Wu, "Xiao Wu, shall we go to the restroom together?"

"Mhm." Lin Wu nodded slightly.

Miao Yajing looked up at Shen Lijun with eyes full of envy.

She wanted to go to the restroom with Lin Wu too.

Song Jiu watched Shen Lijun’s retreating figure and shook his head helplessly. That clueless Shen Xiaojun, she didn’t realize she was being used!

She just couldn’t see it.

Ma Xiuping returned to the office beaming with joy.

A teacher greeted her, "Teacher Ma, Lin Wu reported to school today, right?"

None of the teachers in the office were unaware of Lin Wu.

Everyone was envious that Ma Xiuping got to teach the future top student of Qing City.

Ma Xiuping nodded, "She did."

"Congratulations, Teacher Ma, it seems the award for outstanding teacher next year is yours for the taking."

"Thank you." Ma Xiuping turned to Sun Xianghong, "I should thank Teacher Sun for giving me this opportunity."

Ma Xiuping had never imagined Sun Xianghong would give up Lin Wu.

She always felt there was something strange about it, but she couldn’t put her finger on what it was.

Sun Xianghong smiled but there was no warmth in her smile, "There’s no need for such courtesy, Teacher Ma. Rather than relying on others, I prefer to earn the title of outstanding teacher with my own capabilities."

Zhou Qi nodded in agreement, adding, "I think Teacher Sun is right. These days, relying on others will get you nowhere; only self-reliance is reliable."

Hearing that, Ma Xiuping frowned slightly.

That strange feeling grew stronger.

Ma Xiuping took a sip of water.

After a while, a young female teacher approached Ma Xiuping and said in a lowered voice, "Come out, I need to tell you something."

Ma Xiuping followed her outside, confused, "Teacher Li, what’s so secretive that it can’t be discussed inside and has to be said out here?"

Li Jialin looked into the office, then back at Ma Xiuping, appearing hesitant to speak.

Seeing her like this made Ma Xiuping even more puzzled.

What on earth was it?

Li Jialin carefully chose her words and then continued, "Teacher Ma, there is something... you don’t know yet, do you?"

"What is it?" Ma Xiuping inquired.

Li Jialin narrowed her eyes, "It’s about Lin Wu from your class."

About Lin Wu?

"What about Lin Wu?" Ma Xiuping quickly asked.

Li Jialin went on, "The grades of Lin Wu in your class are very likely to be plagiarized."

Plagiarized!?

Ma Xiuping frowned slightly, "Impossible."

Lin Wu didn’t seem like the kind of child who would cheat.

"Absolutely impossible!"

Li Jialin looked at Ma Xiuping, "I know it might be hard for you to accept, but that’s what everyone is saying. Also, do you know why Teacher Sun was unwilling to take Lin Wu? Teacher Sun is such a shrewd person; if Lin Wu was truly a top student, would she really let someone else have that opportunity?"

Ma Xiuping narrowed her eyes but didn’t speak.

Li Jialin continued, "Because Teacher Sun has some distant family relation with Lin Wu, and now all the relatives on Lin Wu’s side know that she cheated."

"Is there any evidence?" Ma Xiuping asked.

Li Jialin replied, "This is an ironclad fact; what more evidence do you need? The best proof is that Teacher Sun isn’t teaching her. I advise you to do the same; find some time to talk to the principal about it."

Having said that, Li Jialin paused, "I didn’t want to meddle, but we have such a good relationship, I can’t just watch you get deceived. Lin Wu’s grades aren’t only cheated, but she also lacks the ability, and in the end, she will only lower your class’s college entrance rate."

By now, almost all the teachers in the office knew about Lin Wu’s alleged cheating, it seemed only Ma Xiuping was still kept in the dark.
