Sun Lei’s form teacher kept quiet all the while, but he knew that the princ.i.p.al would reprimand him for what happened today.

But at the thought that Qiao Zijin’s form teacher would have a tougher time than him, he felt slightly at ease. He did not need to take the full blame for this incident. “Aren’t you leaving?” The form teacher gave Sun Lei a disdainful look. He only knew how to cook up troubles. He was still so young, yet he was only interested in getting a girlfriend. Why did he not put his attention on his studies to score a good result?

He could tell that the princ.i.p.al was enraged. Though Sun Lei would not be able to escape unscathed, Qiao Zijin and her form teacher would have to bear the full brunt of his anger.

“No, that’s not right…” Ding Jiayi was dumbfounded. Though she believed in Qiao Zijin, she could tell that everyone had believed that Qiao Zijin cheated during the exams. Everyone believed in Sun Lei’s words. “Old Qiao, Zijin is being framed and there’s nothing that she can do to clear her name. You must put in a good word for her. Zijin didn’t cheat. She is being framed! It is obvious that Sun Lei didn’t manage to make Qiao Nan like him, so he blames it on Zijin. He is telling lies. Can’t the princ.i.p.als and teachers tell that he is lying?”

“Yes, I am innocent. I didn’t cheat.” Qiao Zijin refused to admit that she was in the wrong.

Zhu Baoguo shook his head. “Sun Lei has already said that we only need to compare the exam papers to know whether you have cheated or not. If the answer on your exam paper does not tally with the answer on the paper, then you didn’t cheat. But if they match, do you still have the cheek to say that you are innocent? Since you came in eighth place in the cla.s.s, there must be quite a number of mistakes. It is normal to have the same correct answers, but it will be strange to have the same answers that are wrong. By then, n.o.body will believe that you didn’t cheat.”

“Zijin, is it true that you didn’t cheat?” Qiao Dongliang, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

Qiao Zijin dashed to Qiao Dongliang’s side and pulled his clothes, seeking his protection. “Dad, I am being wronged. I really did not cheat in the exams. Sun Lei couldn’t make Qiao Nan like him, thus he blames it on me. I am innocent. Dad, you must believe me. You must help me.”

“You refuse to be convinced until you’re faced with grim reality.” Sun Lei snorted disdainfully.

If Qiao Zijin did not cheat, why would she be scared stiff and take the initiative to introduce her sister to him as a girlfriend when he told Qiao Zijin about the paper that he had with him?

In fact, when Sun Lei seized the c.h.i.n.ks in Qiao Zijin’s armor, he had actually wanted Qiao Zijin as his girlfriend.

And the boy who copied the answers for Qiao Zijin had the same goal in mind as well. They would not help her for no apparent reason.

Since Qiao Zijin had the intention to tantalize the boy, she would never agree to be Sun Lei’s girlfriend.

If she agreed to Sun Lei’s suggestion, the boy who helped her would be angry with her.

Since Sun Lei insisted that Qiao Zijin be his girlfriend, she had no choice but to suggest Qiao Nan as an alternative.

She had thought that Qiao Nan was not ugly. In fact, in the eyes of the average people, Qiao Nan was pretty. Furthermore, she was in Ping Cheng High School, a good school. She had good grades and was beautiful. A girl like her should be very popular.

Therefore, Qiao Zijin told Sun Lei that she would introduce her sister to him.

When Sun Lei saw the photo of Qiao Nan that Qiao Zijin showed him and heard about her grades in school, he was very satisfied with Qiao Nan and agreed to go ahead with Qiao Zijin’s suggestion.

At that time, Qiao Zijin did not have the intention to scheme against Qiao Nan. She merely wanted to stall for time.
