Chapter 849: Chapter 849 What Does This Have to Do with Me?

Tan Xiaoyan’s petite frame shook with anger upon hearing these words, her complexion paling even more.

"Tan Xiaoyan, hurry back to your seat before you fall and blame us for it," Miao Shuang said with a look of frailty.

Having said that, Miao Shuang also took a seat and began reading her book.

Di Manning had been stunned since Tan Xiaoyan spoke; she could not fathom how the graduate recommendation slot, which she failed to secure despite her parents pulling so many strings, had gone to Luo Qiao.

Completely losing her reason, she stood up and walked over to Luo Qiao, "What gives you, a transfer student, the right to take the graduate recommendation slot from all of us? Even if you have an impressive mentor, that doesn’t entitle you to bully others."

Luo Qiao, now infuriated as well, stood up and looked down at Di Manning, "First, the school hasn’t announced anything about the graduate recommendation slot yet; it’s all due to Tan Xiaoyan’s own capability of getting the news ahead of time.

Secondly, if indeed there’s a slot with my name on it, then I earned it through my own abilities. My mentor doesn’t manage school affairs. How dare you slander him? Considering we’re all classmates, I’ll let it slide this time, but if there’s a next time, I won’t be so forgiving.

If you have complaints, go to the department or school leaders instead of troubling me. What kind of skills does that show? I need to study, so please do as you like."

The harshness of Luo Qiao’s words fanned the flames of Di Manning’s anger, but she didn’t dare confront Luo Qiao directly. Instead, she turned her gaze toward Tan Xiaoyan, who had stirred up this trouble, "Tan Xiaoyan, how did you find out that Luo Qiao got the graduate recommendation slot?"

Tan Xiaoyan inwardly cursed her luck for pointing the blame at herself; she had acted too impulsively. If this incident spread, it would likely cause her trouble.

But what could she say? She certainly couldn’t admit to eavesdropping on a conversation between the department head and the school leadership. That would be even worse.

Having just been thwarted by Luo Qiao and seeing Tan Xiaoyan silent, Di Manning grew even angrier, "Tan Xiaoyan, don’t tell me you’re actually cozy with the leaders? No wonder you knew about the recommendation slot before the school announced it. I underestimated you; you’ve got some real skills."

With red eyes, Tan Xiaoyan retorted, "Di Manning, don’t go too far."

"How have I gone too far? Then tell me, how did you know something even the parties involved weren’t aware of? If there’s no trickery involved, who would believe that?"

Tan Xiaoyan looked around the classroom; the contempt and disdain in the eyes of her classmates made her feel like she was sinking into an icy abyss, her eyes brimming with hatred.

She turned to Luo Qiao not far away, "Luo Qiao, shouldn’t you stand up and say something fair in this matter?"

Luo Qiao responded, "What has this got to do with me?"

"If it weren’t for your misleading statement earlier, how would Di Manning say such things?"

"How have I misled anyone? I simply mentioned that you’re acquainted with school leaders. Was that wrong? Isn’t it a perfectly normal remark? If you didn’t have some connection, how would you know I got the recommendation slot? Surely it wasn’t through divination."

As for whether what Di Manning asked aligns with what I said, that’s none of my business. Besides, didn’t you start this whole thing? There’s a cause for every effect, so what are you complaining about?

Having finished speaking, she grabbed her books and walked out of the classroom.

She took her books to the library, planning to study there first before going to see the counselor later to submit an application for early exams. Little did she know that after her departure, Di Manning and Tan Xiaoyan would come to blows.

Thus, she was also located by her classmates and brought to the department office. After explaining the ins and outs of the matter, all the department leaders turned their gazes to Tan Xiaoyan, the girl who seemed so innocent usually was quite deep after all.

Realizing the situation, Tan Xiaoyan knew she was in trouble; her prior efforts had been ruined by her own hands.

With a determined heart, she confessed, "I overheard a conversation between the school and department leaders near the Octagonal Pavilion and felt jealous, which is why I said what I did."

In front of everyone, Luo Qiao said with mockery, "So, the congratulations Tan Xiaoyan offered me was deliberate. What was your ulterior motive?"
