Chapter 52: Caught in a Cheating Scandal
Shu Mengyu suddenly asked: "Did Su Jinyi get full marks in math?"
Shen Kuo answered truthfully: "Yes, full marks, it has been posted on the bulletin board."
Then he seemed to have thought of something and added: "You are not bad either. Everyone is good at different areas and has different academic specialties."
Shu Mengyu raised her lips slightly and said, "A primary school scumbag knows that there are academic specializations? Not bad."
If Shu Mengyu envied Su Jinyi before, but since meeting her on the rooftop, Shu Mengyu only had admiration for her.
Su Jinyi would not be like Su Yunning, who would approach male friends and flirt with them under the name of friendship.
Su Jinyi has a strong sense of boundaries. After knowing the subtle relationship between Shen Kuo and himself, he did not expose it, nor did he change his attitude towards them because of it.
She always acts like a bystander, never interfering in anyone's life, nor having any emotional fluctuations because of anything. She and the people around her do not seem to be from the same world.
This made Shu Mengyu admire her very much and even wanted to make friends with her.
In the evening, the bright red afterglow covered the courtyard, and the two rows of dense and neat pine trees were coated with a layer of warm halo.
As expected, Gu Xingran showed up in a Phantom to pick up Su Jinyi from school.
Gu Xingran wore a red wig, a high-end miniskirt, and sunglasses as she looked for Su Jinyi.
It was just after school and the girls stopped to look at Gu Xingran as if she were a big star, their eyes full of admiration. In their eyes, Gu Xingran was definitely the image of a successful female boss.
The boys were so fascinated by the limited edition Phantom that they couldn't move.
"Wow, is she some celebrity? She's so pretty!"
"I really want to take a photo with her, she's so beautiful!" A girl looked at Gu Xingran lovingly and secretly took a photo.
Gu Xingran noticed the camera and posed coolly towards it, which immediately caused a sensation with her dazzling red hair.
"Ahhh, she is so cool! So handsome, I can do it, sister!" a girl shouted excitedly.
"She actually responded to me. Oh my god, I'm going to be her fan forever!" The girl who took the photo said excitedly, covering her chest.
Suddenly, Gu Xingran became a check-in person, and the girls went up to her with red faces to take photos with her.
Gu Xingran experienced the joy of being a female star.
Su Jinyi watched Gu Xingran happily playing the role of a big star and coughed helplessly.
Gu Xingran turned around and saw Su Jinyi. She immediately ran over and took her arm and said coquettishly: "Baby, why did you come out just now? I missed you so much~"
Su Jinyi: "Be normal."
Gu Xingran said excitedly: "Baby, it turns out that going to school is so fun. No wonder you want to go to school. Your classmates are so enthusiastic and seem to like me very much!"
Su Jin held her forehead with her hand and said, "You are just too charming."
Of course Gu Xingran could tell that Su Jinyi was plotting against her, but she was also happy about it and said happily: "Really? I think so too. Those little girls are so cute. They treat me like a female star. I'm so happy hahahaha..."
Gu Xingran was immersed in her own happiness. "Do you think I can become a female star? I'll go check out the market and invest in a few more dramas. When I want to go, I'll bring in money to act in a drama and be the leading actress. I can act however I want!"
Su Jinyi supported: "The idea is good, but you should do a thorough investigation before investing and find a reliable one. Once you make money, you can do whatever you want with it."
She added: "It doesn't matter if I can't make money, I can afford it."
The entertainment industry is indeed very profitable nowadays. Just by shooting a short drama and playing the leading role, one can earn over 100 million yuan a year, not to mention actors who are professionally trained.
If Gu Xingran wants to enter the entertainment industry, there is nothing to lose. At worst, I can cover for her.
Gu Xingran's eyes instantly became sore, and she said a little aggrievedly: "Baby, you are the best to me..." She said pitifully: "I will definitely make a lot of money. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today! I will take care of you until the end of your life!"
Su Jinyi stopped him immediately and said, "Just live your own life well, there is no need to take care of me in my old age. I don't want to live to be old and have no strength to speak and wait for death."
This is what Su Jinyi thought. She wanted to live freely until she was thirty years old, and then commit suicide to reunite with Momo earlier.
She couldn't bear to watch her body's functions slowly deteriorate, and eventually she would become a good-for-nothing old lady, waiting to die.
She has never thought of growing old with anyone, she has always been alone.
Gu Xingran pursed his lips and retorted: "How do you know that your seventies and eighties won't be wonderful? Maybe you want to grow old together with someone and live to be seventies or eighties?"
Su Jinyi: "That depends on how capable that person is."
The morning sun was not too strong as it had just rained yesterday. There was mist floating in the wind and I could smell the fresh scent of earth.
Su Jinyi likes this kind of air after the rain, it is very refreshing and the smell of soil is fascinating.
She got up early and didn't disturb Gu Xingran while she was still sleeping. She had a simple breakfast and went out. She wanted to take a walk and feel the fresh air.
The teachers in school have always been very active and efficient in marking test papers. The results can usually be announced right after the test. The results for all subjects came out at 12 o'clock last night.
The topic of gossip in school is all about this exam.
"I heard that the top student in the school this time is actually in Class 8! Do you know him?"
"Of course I know her! The new girl who transferred here is so pretty, just like a star in a movie!"
"Yes, yes, that's her! Her name is Su Jinyi. She got full marks in math. The test paper was posted on the bulletin board yesterday!"
"Oh my God! What door has God closed for her? Not only is she pretty, but her grades are also great. She's definitely a top student. How am I supposed to live?" A girl wailed exaggeratedly.
"Hey, hey, hey, hurry up and check out the school forum! There's explosive news!" a girl suddenly shouted.
"Zhenzhen, why are you keeping us in suspense? What's in the forum?" the girl next to her asked puzzledly.
"The truth about Class 8 Su Jinyi being the top student in the school!!!"
"The first place in the school was actually obtained by stealing the test paper!"
"The perfect score on the math test was a show to attract attention and cover up the scandal of never having been to school in the countryside. I am willing to testify!!!"
The girl called Zhenzhen read it out.
She opened the picture and saw a girl on a dirt road in the countryside, holding a roasted sweet potato in her hand and staring blankly into the distance. Her face was not clear, but the figure... did look somewhat similar to Su Jinyi.
"Is this true? How come you have to cheat even on a test now? Is it shameful to have never been to school? Why do you have to learn how to cheat?"
"She obviously cheated. When her math test paper was posted on the bulletin board yesterday, she had already scored full marks before she even finished the math test. I heard from people in Class 8 that she finished it in less than ten minutes. Did she memorize the answers in advance?"
"That's right. Even the teacher had to spend half an hour to finish the test, but she finished it in ten minutes. Who would believe that she did it by herself?"
"That's right! Not only did he cheat, but he also didn't know how to control his scores. He got first place in the school. It's so funny!"
"If you have never been to school, of course you don't know how to control your grades. You just copy the answers when you get them. You don't use your brain at all!"
"I hate cheating the most. Ningning originally got the first place in the exam. Now Ningning doesn't know that she cheated. She must be very sad, right?" A girl in the same class as Su Yunning said indignantly.
Everyone in the school knew about Su Jinyi's cheating, except her.
When she arrived at the classroom, she clearly felt that people were looking at her unfriendly.
Su Jinyi: ...are you sick?
Before she could sit back in her seat, she was called away by Lao Zhou.
Seeing that Lao Zhou seemed to be hesitant to speak, Su Jinyi said calmly: "Teacher, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Old Zhou seemed to have made great mental preparations and said seriously: "Student Su, we all know about it. I don't want to beat around the bush. This matter is very serious and the school must handle it seriously! I hope Student Su will cooperate."
Su Jinyi asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
