Li Li glared at Wei Ling. “You deserved it! Who told her to help the devil? Tan Jing ran away so quickly when this happened. Do you think that she would care about you now?”
Tan Rou let out a long sigh of relief. This farce had come too suddenly, but she had won the battle with overwhelming strength, so she was still quite relaxed.
She had already said she was disdainful of Tan Jing’s little tricks. In the face of absolute power, any provocation was merely a joke.
Unfortunately, Tan Jing did not believe in heresy and insisted on causing trouble. Then, Tan Rou could not be blamed for being merciless. She was not so kind. Once she caught Tan Jing’s little tail, she would not let it go easily.
Although there was no substantial evidence to prove that Tan Jing was behind all this, the Tan family that Director Wang mentioned was enough to make everyone link it to Tan Jing.
Tan Jing prided herself as the daughter of a rich family. In the end, the rich family she spoke of did such a despicable thing that caused rage amongst the pupils. Her value has dropped as well. How long could she maintain her hypocritical mask?
Tan Rou’s lips curled upwards. There was still a long way to go. Since Tan Jing liked setting up traps, she would just play it by ear.
It felt good to see Tan Jing frantically jumping up and down for a long time, but she would still have to face her death in the end.
Tan Rou called out to Li Li. “Come back with me to the Exam Hall to get my phone! I was so occupied and didn’t have time to take it. After a short rest, we’ll be having another exam soon!”
Li held onto Tan Rou’s arm and nodded repeatedly. She muttered, “Of course, let’s get it quickly and prepare for the next exam. This time, Wei Ling won’t be looking for trouble; just do your best!”
Li Li was feeling even angrier than Tan Rou herself. “When she stole your book, you said it was just the beginning. I thought that she would only make a fuss about your results at most. I didn’t expect her to be so mean and even think of ruining your reputation! You must work hard and do your best, so she’ll be fuming pissed!”
Tan Rou smiled as she listened to Li Li, who continued nagging, and Tan Rou nodded her head dotingly. “Yes, she would be so angry that she might die.”
Li Li blushed and patted Tan Rou. “Don’t always act as if you don’t care. Although you’re capable, I just can’t bear to see them competing with you. Once they realize they can’t win, they will start attacking and harming you! What is this?!”
Tan Rou saw that Li Li was sincerely worried about her and felt a little guilty. She hid her strength to avoid Tan Jing’s scheme. She could only catch Tan Jing off guard by doing so. Tan Rou found it fun to watch Tan Jing’s shocked expression.
The pleasure of giving others a slap in the face when they don’t expect it was different from the boring ones. However, this would make the people around her worry. Tan Rou indeed felt a little sorry toward them.
Tan Rou had a solemn look as she comforted Li Li. “Don’t worry; I’ll do well this time. When the time comes, I’ll let you stand up for me in front of Tan Jing!”
Li Li knew that Tan Rou was just teasing her. In fact, Li Li didn’t have much hope for Tan Rou’s results.
However, Tan Rou was smart. Even if she couldn’t do it this time, she would definitely be able to do it next time!
She smiled and said, “I’ll remember what you said! I’m your fan now! If you work hard, I’ll be able to go out and tear those b*tches apart!”
The two girls talked and laughed and soon arrived at Exam Hall D.
Tan Rou went in and got her phone. As soon as she turned it on, she saw Tao Qi’s missed calls and messages. There were dozens of red symbols, and she could imagine how anxious Tao Qi was at home.
Tan Rou flipped through it. It was all Tao Qi asking her about her current situation. He said she definitely wouldn’t cheat, but she had to explain it to the teacher properly and not talk back to him like she did at home. He also said that he hadn’t told their parents about it yet and was waiting for a reply from Tan Rou.
Tan Rou laughed. This brat knew her quite well. He was actually giving her instructions.
She quickly replied to Tao Qi’s message and told him to go home first. Tan Rou saw another message from Zhuang Liu, quietly hidden amongst Tao Qi’s many messages, and almost missed it.
Zhuang Liu sent a message saying he just wanted to send regards to Tan Rou after learning that she was taking the exam today. He also mentioned Old Master Lu’s condition, which Tan Rou was worried about before, and said that he had news and would talk to Tan Rou face to face when she had time.
Tan Rou raised her eyebrows. She didn’t expect Zhuang Liu to be so efficient. He had really done his best to help her. He took it to heart even if it was just a casual word from her.
Tan Rou’s eyes flickered and replied to Zhuang Liu’s message. Unknowingly, a smile appeared in her mouth.
Li Li came up to her. “What’s wrong? Your face is like a peach blossom; could it be…?”
Tan Rou turned her face away, and her ears turned red. “Stop it with the nonsense!”
