77: Playing along with Xia Mingzhou

Playing along with Xia Mingzhou

"Then do you know who it is?" Meng Deming asked, "Most of the students in the forum use anonymous accounts."

Jiang Yue responded, "About that, may I borrow your laptop for just a few minutes, Teacher Meng?"

Meng Deming didn't know what she'll use the laptop for but he nodded, he lead the girl to his table and let her use his laptop.

Jiang Yue intended to find out the person behind the anonymous account who posted her paper when she came back to their dorm later, she never expected the matter would escalate this fast.

She could have done it with her phone as well as she had configured it to have some programming and hacking software but she left it in her classroom.

With the use of her teacher's laptop, it wasn't difficult for her to find out the identity of the anonymous poster.

Meng Deming watched as the girl immersed herself in what she was doing, everything was happening too fast that he could barely see what was popping up on the screen.

He even started to think if the girl had planted some virus on his laptop.

In just a few minutes, she found the IP address of the person who posted it, when she tracked the address and saw the name that appeared on it, Jiang Yue couldn't help but scoff.

It was Xia Mingzhou?

They had already severed relations with the Xia Family, but it seems that it wasn't enough for her, and now she was driving her over the edge once more.

Jiang Yue stood up and thanked Meng Deming. 

She turned towards Zhu Lin and stated, "Teacher Zhu, it turns out it was your student who posted it. So I hope you don't find my request too much, I want Xia Mingzhou to be here before I start answering your questions."

Zhu Lin was taken aback when she heard who posted the pictures, but she nodded as it was better if a student was a witness as well, "Then I'll go get her."

It didn't take long before two people appeared again in the office.

Zhu Lin and Xia Mingzhou entered, and the girl respectfully greeted the other teachers as well as Jiang Yue, "Cousin," before returning to her teacher, "Teacher Zhu, may I ask why I am being called here?"

"Jiang Yue claims you're the one who posted the picture of her assignment paper," the adviser responded.

Xia Mingzhou was just about to deny but seeing her cousin's expression, she knew that the girl probably has proof that it was her. 

Besides, she hadn't done anything wrong. Instead, she did the right thing by posting it, "Yes, it was me, Teacher Zhu. I saw Jiang Yue's paper when I passed our class' papers this morning. When I saw that her handwriting was different from the notes, I had to post it because I can't just let her fool others."

Jiang Yue couldn't help but grin when she heard her words.

She had no idea her cousin was so righteous, or does she only become one when she has the chance to trample others?

"You don't mind cousin, right?" Xia Mingzhou questioned, "After all, I was only thinking of the greater good for everyone."

"Of course not, how could I blame you?" Jiang Yue grinned. 

This girl really enjoys playing as a white lotus, so she'll play along, "You won't mind either if I ask you to apologize if I proved my innocence, right? After all, I was called different kinds of names, and this harmed my reputation."

When she learned that it had ruined her reputation, Xia Mingzhou's lips twitched.

Was her reputation even good to begin with?

When she saw Jiang Yue's infuriating smile, she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I completely understand."

She has nothing to fear because the girl clearly isn't the owner of the notes.

The three teachers prepared two questions for every selective subject and three questions for the compulsory subjects.

After nearly an hour of working on the question, the three teachers handed the paper to Jiang Yue to answer.

"You have one hour to answer all of these questions."

Meng Deming wanted to complain about how short the time was because solving the three problems in Mathematics takes at least fifteen minutes, but seeing Jiang Yue not even reacting to the time limit, he simply pursed his lips.

The girl appears to have given up.

When the time started, Jiang Yue didn't waste any second and started answering it right away. 

In just less than ten minutes, she has already finished all questions for the selective subjects.

She answered the English subject next, which was to write two five-hundred-word essays answering the two questions.

The girl had completed both essays in less than fifteen minutes.

  Then came Chinese and Mathematics.

In Mathematics, although it was fill-in-the-blank, she still wrote the solution on the side with every step that can be easily understood.

Jiang Yue finished all the questions in under fifty minutes.

Zhu Lin who was watching the girl from her table all this time, narrowed her eyes. 

She can see that the girl wrote a lot of things on the paper and she can't believe she completed it all in less than an hour.

However, it is still unclear whether she made any mistakes.

Meng Deming, who was no longer expecting anything, gaped at the girl, "You're already finished?"

He couldn't help himself and grabbed the papers, noticing that every question had been answered. He handed it over to Zhu Lin, who checked each page.

Xia Mingzhou, who hadn't expected her to finish the exam so quickly, simply raised her brow.

Jiang Yue leaned back in her chair, tapping her fingers on the table, and turned to face Xia Mingzhou, feeling the girl's piercing gaze.

"Xia Mingzhou, I'll give you two options. You apologize on your main account or you use the same anonymous account and admit who you are," Jiang Yue stated which only earned her a scoff from the other girl.

"The results aren't out yet and you're already this arrogant? No wonder the other students were quick to point their finger at you, it's because you're so full of yourself."

Jiang Yue tilted her head as a grin slowly formed on her lips, "Xia Mingzhou, I just noticed something." 

"What?"

"You're very annoying to look at." 

Xia Mingzhou's hands that were on her lap clenched tighter, "What did you just say?" 

"Nothing," Jiang Yue straightened her back and shook her shoulders, "but what you just said reminded me of the saying 'the pot calling the kettle black,' because that's exactly what's going on right now."

The other girl scoffed, "When will you ever change that arrogant attitude of yours? If you would have just been more obedient then maybe Grandfather wouldn't have disowned the both of you." 

"Xia Mingzhou, has your brain stopped working? We've already cut our ties so stop calling me your cousin. It disgusts me." 

Her face darkened.

Meng Deming cleared his throat to get the attention of the two girls.

When Xia Mingzhou and Jiang Yue turned to face the three professors, they noticed their unreadable expressions, as if they didn't know what to say.

"Are the results out, Teacher Meng?" inquired Xia Mingzhou.

She could see from their reactions that Jiang Yue did not do well.1

After all, even she, who had always been at the top in terms of academics, couldn't answer all those questions in one hour.

However, the next words said by her adviser hit her like a wave and her heart slowly sank.
