The teacher took the phone and watched it. Then, his expression completely darkened.

Qin Si had a bad feeling. She suddenly remembered that Qin Zhen had used her computer to recover the deleted phone chat records back at the Qin family’s house…

Du Juan’s heart was pounding, but she felt that Qin Zhen could not possibly have any evidence. Unless it was forged! “Sir, Qin Zhen is deliberately trying to make me look bad! Don’t believe anything she gives. She is a bad person! I think she did all this on purpose—”

“Aren’t you the person on this? Can this be forged?” The teacher roared. He couldn’t take it anymore. He turned the phone screen towards her.

It was a surveillance video. In the video, it was clear that Du Juan had secretly tampered with the emcee’s cue card when she was not around.

“No, I…” Du Juan subconsciously wanted to explain, but the evidence was right in front of her. What could she say?

“Sir, don’t be angry. I think Du Juan was confused for a moment…” Qin Si said expectantly. She couldn’t let this matter continue to ferment. Otherwise, who knew if Du Juan, this idiot, would say something unnecessary?

Qin Zhen didn’t say anything. She took her phone back and didn’t even look at Du Juan. She bid the teacher farewell and left. She had given Du Juan a chance, but she had not taken it. She would not be in charge of what happened after that. These little girls were still not taught enough. Did they really think that there were good people everywhere in this world?

…

When she returned home that night, Qin Zhen received a video call from Luyao.

“A bunch of trash. They are actually dumb enough to mess with you and even injure you. You even asked Di Cheng to come later and not tell us about any of this. Everyone is clamoring to avenge you. But just as we were about to attack, someone beat us to it. Life imprisonment will be enough for him.”

Qin Zhen was slightly startled. If Luyao and the others were not the ones who retaliated, then who was it? Could it be…

“By the way, have you thought about Wu Ze’s commission?” Luyao asked, recalling the important matter she wanted to discuss with her, “He seems to be very anxious and has been messaging me every day. After all, you have delayed his request for so many years. If you don’t want to accept it, I’ll reject it for you,”

Qin Zhen thought back to her previous life and remembered that Wu Ze had always been by He Guinian’s side. No matter how down and out He Guinian was, he never left. “I’ll go take a look this Saturday.”

“Alright, I’ll tell him now.”

The next day, Qin Zhen went to class as usual. As soon as she arrived, she could feel the awkward atmosphere.

Especially from the girls in Du Juan’s small group. They looked at her with hatred. The timid ones pointed at her behind her back, while the bold ones straight up told her how they felt to her face, “Qin Zhen, do you know that because of you, everyone in school is talking bad about Du Juan? She doesn’t want to come back to school anymore! How can you do that to her? Aren’t we classmates?”

“Is there something wrong with your brain?” Before Qin Zhen could say anything, Jia Qing rebuked first, “She was the one who started first, and now she’s reaping the consequences. She deserves it!”

The girl was unconvinced, “Isn’t she fine? Moreover, if it weren’t for Du Juan, she wouldn’t have been the highlight of the show. Was there a need to keep holding onto that grudge? Then why didn’t you refuse about being in the limelight? Everyone knows that being number one in the grade, good at studying, dancing, and being versatile is enough to inflate someone’s ego!”

“Again, do you need to have your brain checked? It’s like you’re trying to say, it’s not my fault if I beat you half to death, it’s not like I kill you!” Jia Qing stood out in anger and greeted his teeth. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was a girl, he would have punched her.

“You… Unreasonable barbarians!”

“Sit back down.” Qin Zhen said and handed him a new set of written questions, “Go study.”

“What a pretentious scheming b*tch!” The girl muttered and left in a huff.

Jia Qing looked at the math questions in his notebook and felt a headache. He carefully looked at Qin Zhen, who was reading seriously, “Zhenzhen, aren’t you angry?”

“When a dog bites you, you can’t bite back. Besides, I don’t have time to argue with them. If this is the way they think, they will land themselves in trouble in the future. So why should I care?”

When the other girls heard this, they were so angry that their faces tightened.

By the time Ji Yueyue came to class with her books, Qin Zhen was already used to the stabbing glare, “Which question you don’t understand?”

“This one,” Ji Yueyue pointed at a question.

Qin Zhen looked at it first. After she was clear about her thoughts, she explained the question to Ji Yueyue.

“Thank you, I understand now!” Ji Yueyue thanked her happily. Thinking of what had just happened, she bit her pen and whispered, “Qin Zhen, don’t mind their words. They’re just jealous of you. They are nothing compared to you, so the only thing they could do is say mean things. They’re just… just uselessly throwing their anger at you!”
