Chapter 482: I’m a Perfect Scorer

“Such a shame,” Wang Qing began, wearing an insufferably smug smile. “Chu Jing was kind enough to prepare medicine for you. And what did you do? You caught her in a scandalous situation and confiscated the medicine she worked so hard to make. I must say, fate seems to be on my side. How else could she have ended up with a dim-witted mother-in-law and a fickle husband? But of course, her aloofness and her refusal to explain herself worked wonders for me. Everything fell into place so nicely.”

“No, no, that can’t be right. How could the medicine have come from Chu Jing? She hates me!” Mrs. Rong Sr. argued, shaking her head in disbelief.

“Believe it or not, that’s the truth,” Wang Qing announced, reveling in his victory.

Rong Tianshi, overwhelmed with regret, clenched his fists, eyes shut tightly. He shouted, “Get out! Just get out of my sight! I never want to see you again!” Their agony was Wang Qing’s delight. She said, “Do you regret it now? Serves you right for scorning my son, for neglecting his well-being. This is karma!”

As Wang Qing burst into laughter, she used the wall for support and made her way out of the room. Mrs. Rong Sr. sat on the floor, her tears flowing freely. Was it regret or hate? She couldn’t tell.

“Tianshi, what are we going to do? How are we supposed to survive without any money?” Mrs. Rong Sr. finally gathered herself to address her son, Rong Tianshi.

Rong Tianshi didn’t dare speak, afraid that his voice would betray his tears. ‘I was wrong about Chu Jing,’ he thought to himself.

Mrs. Rong Sr. wiped away her tears and said, “I’ll go find Rong Qi. I’m her grandmother; you’re her father. She won’t abandon us. I’ll go find her right now.”

Before Mrs. Rong Sr. could take a step, Rong Tianshi yelled, “Don’t! Don’t go looking for her! I have no face to see her. If you go, I swear I’ll die right here!”

Startled, Mrs. Rong Sr. froze. “Alright, alright. I won’t go. Just calm down.”

Rong Qi had been summoned to the Administration Office of Capital University.

“Rong Qi, Su Yifan says you instructed him to steal the exam paper. What do you say to that?” The office was tense, and Qiu Yonggen was quick to point fingers.

Rong Qi leaned against the wall, her posture a tad casual. She said, “I scored perfectly on my exam. I really don’t see the need.”

Rong Qi’s arrogant and conceited tone annoyed everyone in the room.

‘How are we supposed to proceed with this investigation with her speaking like that?’ Qiu Yonggen and Han Yi exchanged a glance.

Adjusting his black-framed glasses, Han Yi asked, “Su Yifan claims he did it for you. How would you like to explain that?”

With a smirk, Rong Qi replied, “Ah, yes. He did it for me. For me to get expelled, presumably? Should I shed tears of joy? Su Yifan?”

Rong Qi sarcastic tone left Su Yifan red-faced, unable to lift his head.

“Rong Qi, if you don’t cooperate, it’s difficult for us to get to the truth,” Han Yi frowned. “If you want to clear your name, you should cooperate. Or perhaps you don’t want us to find out the truth? You should know that if we make a decision, Su Yifan will be considered an accomplice while you’ll be deemed the mastermind.”

“Why not make it simple?” Rong Qi suggested.. “How about I take a test right now to prove my innocence? Also, why are you putting so much stock into the words of a suspect when you have video footage? Surely even the officials in the most corrupt of courthouses wouldn’t make decisions so hastily?”
