---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​ Liang Yan been afraid of the teacher since he was a child, and almost never asked a teacher to explain a problem which he didn’t understand between classes. 



So when the supervisor left the testing room with Nie Zhen'er, he didn't have the courage to stand up for her. For that, he was ashamed. He could only comfort himself, the school wouldn’t wrongly accuse Nie Zhen'er and after the exam, he would head to the teachers’ office to explain the truth.



After reporting to the exam supervisor, Pei Yi Ruo acted as if nothing important happened. She sat upright and continued to work on the test with a faint smile.



Because of this incident of suspected cheating, all the students were distracted and the classroom became rowdy.



The other supervising teacher at the back of the room began to wander back and forth, exclaiming with a solemn voice, "What are you treating this exam as? Still having time to worry about others, huh? When you guys fall below the Top 40, Iets see who you can cry to!"



His words allowed the students of the Rocket class to finally calm down and continue finishing the exam.



For Luan Qing Xiao, the last half hour was very difficult. She kept staring at the door, but Nie Zhen'er didn’t return.



The bell rang, signaling the end of the exam, and the exam supervisor collected the test papers before leaving the classroom. Liang Yan skipped cleaning his table, and rushed over to Luan Qing Xiao, saying, "Luan Qing Xiao, I saw everything! You must go to the dean’s office to explain the truth!"



Luan Qing Xiao glanced at Pei Yi Ruo, who was tidying up her things at tortoise-like speed, and knew she must be eavesdropping.



Luan Qing Xiao calmly replied, "It's too noisy here, let's go out and talk."



Luan Qing Xiao stood up, obviously about the same height as Liang Yan, but Liang Yan still felt a sense of suppression.



Liang Yan involuntarily took a step backwards while Luan Qing Xiao walked out of the classroom, forcing Liang Yan to quickly follow.



When the two arrived outside the dean’s office, Luan Qing Xiao stopped, Liang Yan responded, "Go in ah. If you treat Zhen’er as a real  friend, then go in and explain the truth to the dean."



Luan Qing Xiao stuck her hands inside her pant pockets. She leaned her back against the wall, and said indifferently, "If you don't want to make trouble for yourself, don't speak any more than you have to when you go in later. Just say what you see, understood?"



Liang Yan looked livid, "I only saw you framed Zhen’er."



"If that’s what you want to say, I suggest you don't head in. Liang Yan, I only need you to describe the objective facts, don't start adding your own twist on it. Or you will die miserably."



Luan Qing Xiao already seen through the type of person Liang Yan was. Sure enough, as soon as the threatening words were uttered, Liang Yan became intimidated. After opening his mouth several times, he didn't dare to talk nonsense. Finally, under Luan Qing Xiao's daunting gaze, he gave in and humiliatingly said, "Understood, I won't talk nonsense when I go in."



Luan Qing Xiao continued to stare at him for another ten seconds before faintly looking away, and uttered,  "En".



Liang Yan almost lost control of his legs.



"You, go knock on the door."



Liang Yan walked to the door, reached out his hand, knocked twice, pulled open the door and then entered.



Luan Qing Xiao followed Liang Yan and immediately saw Nie Zhen'er standing in front of the dean.



"I spent so much money to send you to Sheng Jia to what, learn to cheat? Nie Zhen'er, you really are gutty, huh. The older you get, the more you lose face for me. Before at least with you grew face for me by being the top student of your grade, but then after being promoted to Year 2 you dropped in ranking by one place. I haven't scolded you yet, you actually cheated on me?! Are you stupid..."



Luan Qing Xiao frowned and looked at Nie Mei Feng who was cursing.



How did this stupid woman deserve to be Zhen’er mother?



The dean looked embarrassed, and tried stopping Nie Mei Feng several times but couldn’t persuade him. At this moment, another two students knocked on the door and came in. He promptly turned around and asked Liang Yan, who walked into the teaching office first, "This student, what's the matter in the teaching office? ?"



Liang Yan looked back at Luan Qing Xiao, "Dean, I am an eyewitness to Nie Zhen’er’s incident. Seeing her being wronged makes me uneasy, so I came here to tell you what I saw."



The instructor nodded solemnly, "Go ahead."



Nie Zhen'er, who had originally hung her head, suddenly raised her head and glanced at Liang Yan. When she saw Luan Qing Xiao behind Liang Yan, she couldn't help but feel aggravated as her eyes reddened.



Luan Qing Xiao naturally did not miss Nie Zhen'er's expression, and immediately felt distressed.



She lightly pushed Liang Yan from behind, urging him to speak quickly as to help Nie Zhen'er to clear the suspicion faster.



Liang Yan was nervous in front of a teacher, not to mention the dean. The previous sentences he said were like a newborn calf, unafraid of tigers. Now that he reacted, he was stressed to the point of almost being speechless.



Luan Qing Xiao's push woke him up. Remembering he was carrying a heavy burden, he gulped with difficulty, and mumbled, "Dean, I-I finished the test paper about half an hour earlier, so I turned to the front to double-check everything. During the inspection," Liang Yan licked his dry lips. "During the inspection, I accidentally glanced aside and saw that Luan Qing Xiao retracted her leg from outside the aisle. When she retracted her leg, she coincidentally kicked something from under her feet to under Nie Zhen'er’s table... Director, that's all I want to say..."



The dean nodded, "Did Student Luan Qing Xiao come along?" He shifted his eyes behind Liang Yan.



Liang Yan moved a step aside, "Classmate Luan Qing Xiao is here."



Now there’s no more use for Liang Yan.



The dean said, "Come on, explain what's going on."



In the past, the original owner often fought and came to the dean’s office for punishments, so it was difficult for the dean to not know her.



Luan Qing Xiao calmly replied, "Actually  I didn't know what I did before Liang Yan said what he saw. How the little paper ball got under my feet, and how I just happened to kick it to Classmate Nie Zhen’er’s feet, I have no impression of these two things."



"Qing Xiao, Auntie knows that you and Zhen'er are good friends, but cheating is cheating. You can't lie just because of personal feelings!"



This woman is definitely crazy!



"Auntie, I call you auntie because of Zhen'er's face, not because of your inability to differentiate black and white that you’re foolish enough that you don't even believe your own daughter. What qualification do you say Zhen'er cheated? What right do you have to be a mother? You just can’t stand seeing Zhen’er being well off, right?"



Nie Mei Feng’s face turned green and white at Luan Qing Xiao’s words, but she remembered that Luan Qing Xiao’s family was rich and couldn’t afford to be offended. She forced a smile and said, "Qing Xiao, what are you saying, how could Auntie not believe her daughter?,"



Nie Mei Feng said. Then she began crying, "Auntie knows Zhen'er's nature, and that's- that’s why, wu wu wu. I have such an unfortunate life to be stuck to a calamity star like her. I gave birth and raised her, I can see whether she cheated or not with one glance. You only met her for a few days, wu wu wu, answer-answer me, did you cheat?!" Nie Mei Feng raised her hand to slap Nie Zhen'er, Luan Qing Xiao instantly took one stride and held her wrist.



Nie Mei Feng wanted to pull her hand out, but Luan Qing Xiao's strength was used like a mud cow falling into the ocean, no effect at all.



Luan Qing Xiao threw away her hand in disgust, "Don’t you dare try to hurt her again."



Nie Mei Feng didn't have the guts to hate Luan Qing Xiao, so her resentful eyes fell on Nie Zhen'er.



Nie Zhen'er was brought back to her childhood memories, and her body couldn't help quaking.



The dean couldn't bear to see it either, and spoke harshly with Nie Mei Feng in a heavy tone before ultimately convincing her to return home.
