Chapter 351: Is it cheating?

Chapter 351: Chapter 351: Is it cheating?

As long as it exists, it’s there, shining for all to see.

Once it hits the trending searches, anyone can hardly resist clicking to take a look.

Those who had doubted Jiang Zhe’s creative talent because she was too beautiful and her grades were too terrible, saw the trending topic and a question mark slowly appeared above their heads.

And when they confirmed that this Jiang Zhe was indeed that Jiang Zhe, they couldn’t help but exclaim in disbelief, "Holy shit!"

"I’m floored!"

Immediately, a large number of people began to question, "Who said Jiang Zhe had poor grades?"

"The ones who praised Jiang Fanyue for her beauty and intelligence, right? They stepped on Jiang Zhe to promote Jiang Fanyue, how hilarious."

"A person who scored a perfect grade on the college entrance exam would belittle someone who scored over six hundred?"

"What was God thinking when He created Jiang Zhe? Why would He give her a perfect appearance and then top it off with perfect talent! Couldn’t He spare a little for the rest of us?"

"How could Jiang Fanyue have the audacity to say that Jiang Zhe was riding on her coattails? She scored so much lower and still has the nerve to compare herself to others."

"Now that I think about it, I can understand why Jiang Zhe has shown so much talent. It’s not at all surprising for someone with such learning capabilities to have such talent."

The public sentiment flipped immediately, and bystanders joined in. The marketing accounts who had been riding the trend saw Jiang Zhe’s high scores and started spreading the news to ride the wave of attention even more.

Meanwhile.

Jiang Fanyue’s celebration banquet was in progress.

Without Jiang Yaowang in attendance, Jiang Fanyue felt somewhat disappointed.

Given the troubles that had arisen before, the celebration wasn’t very grand, it was just a gathering of close friends of Jian Xiliang and Wen Xia.

Jiang Zhang and Liang Jinlan also came.

Ever since their clothing company encountered serious troubles, they had been down on their luck.

With Jiang Yunxuan being taken away, they had already lost all their support.

They had initially decided not to come, but out of respect for Jian Xiliang, they still made an appearance.

Yet the couple was distant and had ceased all communication.

Jiang Zhang was silent and as for Liang Jinlan, she looked haggard and aged a decade.

When they saw Jiang Fanyue, their feelings were indistinguishable between love and hate, and only murkiness surged in their eyes.

Jiang Fanyue disliked the two of them but still put on a smile, "Please come in and take a seat."

As if none of the past troubles had ever happened.

Seeing Jiang Fanyue behave this way, Wen Xia felt relieved.

The guests present inevitably said flattering and congratulatory words. Jian Xiliang and Wen Xia were thrilled, escorting Jiang Fanyue around for social interactions.

"I heard Fanyue was the top college entrance examinee from Second High School this time? That’s quite an achievement!"

"That’s a distinction for Second High. Such results are indeed very rare."

Jiang Fanyue thanked them modestly while maintaining humility.

With Liang Jinlan attending, she also perked up and came over to say, "Fanyue, I salute you, achieving such good results is no easy feat."

"Thank you," said Jiang Fanyue softly.

Liang Jinlan harbored less resentment towards Jiang Fanyue than towards Jiang Zhe, so she could still maintain composure in front of her.

After some small talk, Liang Jinlan asked, "How did Jiang Zhe do on the exams?"

It was not that she genuinely wanted to know. It would simply make her feel better if she knew Jiang Zhe had done poorly.

She blamed Jiang Zhe for all the troubles that had happened before.

If it weren’t for Jiang Zhe, none of those things would’ve happened.

"I don’t know the exact score, she didn’t tell me, but I’ve heard many people say, Jiang Zhe’s results were similar to her usual performance," said Jiang Fanyue softly.

Jiang Xiliang and Wen Xia exchanged glances, knowing that although Jiang Zhe was capable in other areas, his academic performance was indeed lacking.

It was only then that Liang Jinlan’s face showed the first smile of the evening, "That’s also what I expected."

A friend of Jiang Xiliang who was nearby asked, "The Jiang Zhe you’re talking about, which school does he attend?"

"The First High School," Jiang Fanyue replied without any evasion.

"Really? I just heard someone say that this year’s top scorer in the national college entrance examination from The First High School is a student named Jiang Zhe."

Jiang Fanyue didn’t believe it, and immediately picked up her mobile phone.

If the top scorer of the gaokao was Jiang Zhe, she couldn’t possibly not know about it.

This news couldn’t be concealed for long.

As soon as she opened WeChat, she saw that the messages in her class group showed 99+.

Upon checking, everyone was discussing the fact that Jiang Zhe was the national top scorer in the gaokao.

Jiang Fanyue’s breath caught as she caught the key words: national, full score...

Wait, how is this possible?

Jiang Zhe had poor grades since childhood, how could he possibly get a full score?

How did she manage to score that?

Upon opening Weibo, she was overwhelmed by private messages and comments, with many people accusing her of her previous actions of trying to tie others down and kicking them while they were down.

Although Jiang Fanyue considered herself to be very clever in her scheming and had never personally mentioned Jiang Zhe’s name,

but the internet is full of shrewd people, who could easily see through her little trick.

Now that Jiang Zhe had proved himself with his academic performance, those who realized what had happened naturally turned around to give Jiang Fanyue a kick.

"Fanyue, what’s going on?" Wen Xia asked with concern.

Jiang Fanyue looked up, and found that the people around her were already discussing the national gaokao top scorer issue with great interest.

It was as if they had forgotten that they were here to celebrate for her.

Wen Xia also heard that Jiang Zhe was this year’s national gaokao top scorer.

She couldn’t help but feel surprised, yet also somewhat envious. Once there was a comparison, indeed, a score of over six hundred points felt disappointing.

Liang Jinlan was even more displeased, "Impossible! How could this be!"

She hadn’t known Jiang Zhe just since yesterday!

It took Jiang Fanyue a long while to take a deep breath, feeling that the celebration banquet tonight had lost its flavor.

The sensation of being trampled and rubbed into the ground over and over again was something she had endured time and again; another round still left her battered and bruised.

The celebration banquet hastily ended, and the guests left.

Wen Xia comforted Jiang Fanyue, "Your scores are very good too, and Professor Zhou is very fond of you and wants you as his student. You don’t need to worry about someone else’s results."

"I never cared about it in the first place," Jiang Fanyue smiled, "I’m actually happy for Jiang Zhe’s success. After all, we’re sisters, and I do hope she does well."

"If you can think like that, then that’s wonderful," Wen Xia said with relief.

Jiang Fanyue hid her bitterness as she saw that Liang Jinlan hadn’t left and personally went to see her off.

Liang Jinlan asked, "Do you believe in Jiang Zhe’s result?"

"I find it hard to believe. But since the results have come out and The First High School is promoting it extensively, even if I don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do."

Liang Jinlan resented Jiang Zhe for revealing the truth about Jiang Yunxuan’s parentage, causing her to lose her son and her family to fall apart, to the point where her home was no longer a home.

The higher Jiang Zhe climbed, the farther he went, the worse she felt.

"Do you think Jiang Zhe, could he have cheated?"
