Chapter 550: Chapter 550 [Extra] A Moment of Guilt

For a moment, everyone pointed and whispered about Li Mengtao.

But some shared her skepticism, "I remember Sheng Ning’an only got 32 last time, and now she suddenly scored 123. Isn’t this improvement a bit too drastic?"

"Yeah! The scores don’t even seem like they were achieved by the same person. Could she really have cheated?"

"Or maybe she just had a bad day last time? I heard her mother is a professor in the Mathematics Department at Jing University. Could she have been tutored at home?"

"If my mom were a professor in the Mathematics Department at Jing University, I definitely could score over a hundred too."

"..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

All eyes turned to Sheng Ning’an and Li Mengtao.

Sheng Ning’an had no desire to cause a scene with the other party in front of everyone in the hall; after all, it would not only be embarrassing for the other person but for herself as well. But the way the other person was acting like a mad dog, clinging on without letting go, was really irritating.

Sheng Ning’an said coldly, "If you claim I cheated, then please present your evidence. If you can’t produce any evidence, then you must apologize to me in front of all the students."

Li Mengtao lifted her chin and said, "Aren’t the results of your two monthly exams evidence enough? A person who scores 32 points and then suddenly jumps to 123, if not for cheating, I can’t think of a second possibility. Or are you suggesting you’ve been hiding your true abilities? But as far as I know, you didn’t do well in middle school, and even got into Jiu Middle School through connections."

Sheng Ning’an responded, "You’ve said so much, yet it’s all merely your own speculation. So you report someone for cheating based solely on conjecture and guesswork?"

"Isn’t that enough?" Li Mengtao scoffed.

Sheng Ning’an was speechless, "Are you legally ignorant? You pass judgment based on speculation without evidence? Without proof, you’re just spreading rumors and slandering. I will report this matter to our homeroom teacher and ask them to resolve it. Either you present your evidence, or you apologize to me in front of the entire school. In any case, I will see this through to the end."

Li Mengtao faltered for a moment but quickly straightened up and said, "Go ahead if you wish. You think I’m scared of you? The homeroom teacher would probably be the first to doubt you after seeing your scores. I think it’s you who should be worrying about how to explain to the homeroom teacher."

"Don’t worry, I most certainly will." Sheng Ning’an finished speaking and looked at her deskmate, "Let’s go!"

"An’an, are you really going to see the homeroom teacher?" Coming out of the crowd, the deskmate looked at her and asked.

Sheng Ning’an replied, "What, do you also suspect me of cheating?"

"Of course not." The deskmate shook their head hurriedly, "I sit right next to you, how could I not know if you cheated or not? I just think Li Mengtao is making trouble out of nothing, and you don’t need to get angry with her."

"I’m not angry, but some people never learn their lesson unless they’re taught one." She wasn’t keen on being bitten and vilified every day.

The deskmate frowned and said, "But even if we approach the homeroom teacher, they will most likely try to smooth things over." Since it was just a small quarrel between students, the teacher would surely prefer not to make a big deal out of it.

"That depends on whether I agree or not. In any case, this time, I will make Li Mengtao apologize to me publicly and admit that she spread rumors and slandered me." If necessary, she wouldn’t mind bringing in her parents.

"Alright then!" Seeing that she was determined, the deskmate did not try to dissuade her any further.

"But speaking of which, how did you actually do it?" It’s not that they blamed Li Mengtao for doubting; her progress was just a little too fast.
