To give the logical color to the situation, Professor Yang cleared his throat and said in a serious, self-righteous tone. "You are the toper of our Entrance Exam. In fact, I was one of few who marked your papers. I can't say any other student had impressed me this much as you did. So it is only natural that I protect such a talented student."
Of course, no one knew that just the minute he was about to rebuke Xu Xinya, Profesor Yang's eyes accidentally, and to much extent, fortunately, fell upon the register and he read her name.
Xu Xinya...
How could he have forgotten that name? When he had received a call from a certain someone's right-hand man. Ah... He was still a human at the end of the day who wanted to continue living. His pride and reputation were certainly not worth more than his life!
With quizzical eyes, Xu Xinya asked. "Then... Can I take the seat, Sir?"
"Yes, Yes!" Professor Yang wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief. Not only that, he even got up from his chair and personally escorted Xu Xinya to a chair in the front row. After throwing a few more compliments in her direction, he went back to his seat.
None of the students could understand this strange occurrence. Professor Yang was known to never give a shit about the students' family names. And Xu Xinya's family name was not that impressive on top of that, thus that was not an option.
Thus, they could only believe the explanation given by Professor Yang. That... Xu Xinya papers were in fact really that outstanding that it forced Professor Yang to break his norm and be so relenting.
That to say... Xu XInya had definitely not cheated.
Not a few rows behind Xu Xinya, two frozen women sat over the chair. Not a few minutes ago, they were on the edge, waiting for a relishing drama to ensue. But the situation... Xu Xinya being instead escorted to her chair by Professor Yang... And being praised constantly... They both could not come in terms with reality.
It was like a harsh slap across their faces, temporarily sending them into a state of daze.
It was until Yin Yu gasped out of fear, they broke off that trance. "Ying Jie, what if-what if Professor Yang actually investigates the incident?" Professor Yang's name was fearsome. Under his investigation, that senior would vomit out Yin Yu's name without any resistance.
It was at this instant, Shen Changying felt very grateful to have been wise enough to not have directly hurt Xu Xinya on her own. Instead, she had used Yin Yu. Now, if anyone had to suffer the consequences, it would be Yin Yu. She sighed in relief in silence.
However, upon her face, she revealed expressions of worry. "Yin Yu..." She said; her tone infused with heartache. "How about this? I take the blame. Your father has been very strict to you and I-I-"
"No!" Yin Yu immediately denied, her eyes solidifying in resolve. "You have suffered enough Ying Jie by that b*tch hands. I won't have you being blamed for this!" She announced with determination. Then, her eyes softened. "It's okay. My father is the Chancellor. Professor Yang can't hurt me this badly. But if it's you, he will not show any mercy." She sighed.
"Then..." Shen Changying sighed, too. "Be careful. Yin Yu."
"I'll be." Yin Yu's face turned ugly. Her hatred was directed at none other than that Xu Xinya who sat at the front lowest row with very calm expressions.
