Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Chen Yi received a call from Tan Jing’s form teacher and did not dare to delay for a moment before coming to the hospital. At this moment, Tan Jing’s injuries had already been cleaned. Her snow-white bandages were stained with some blood, and they looked horrible.
“Jingjing!” Chen Yi laid down in front of her daughter’s bed and stroked her head. She cried and said, “How did this happen?!”
“Mom, I’m fine. Don’t worry,” Tan Jing said weakly.
“You’re my daughter. How can I not worry?” As Chen Yi spoke, she vented her anger on Tan Jing’s teacher. “What’s wrong with you? Why would my daughter jump off a building?”
The homeroom teacher calmed Chen Yi down first. “Mrs Tan, don’t get too worked up. Let’s sit down and talk about it slowly.”
Tan Jing then said to Chen Yi, “It was Tan Rou and the others who framed me for cheating. 1 didn’t cheat, so 1 jumped down from upstairs to prove my innocence.” Her words were clever. There were so many students present, but she only said Tan Ron’s name so that her mother would only blame it on Tan Rou.
As expected, when Chen Yi heard Tan Ron’s name, she was furious. She scolded, “It’s that little sl*t Tan Rou who harmed you again. Don’t worry, dear. Mom will definitely avenge you!”
…..
“It was your daughter who couldn’t take the pressure and jumped off the building. What does it have to do with Tan Rou?” The principal walked in with his secretary. “At that time, all the evidence pointed to Tan Jing. She cheated in the exam and spread rumors to accuse others. Tan Jing, what you should do is to show evidence to prove your innocence, not jump off a building.”
When Chen Yi heard the principal’s words, she was very angry. “My daughter almost fell to her death. Why are you saying this? She was framed!”
The principal looked at her coldly. “If Student Tan Jing was framed, find evidence as soon as possible. The school will definitely clear your name.”
“Jingjing was framed!” Chen Yi caused a ruckus in the ward. “1 know what kind of person that wretched girl is. She must have fabricated a lie to frame my daughter. My daughter is a good student. She would never do such a thing!”
The principal glared at her. Why was Tan Jing’s mother such a person? This was a hospital. What was the point of making a scene here?
“Mrs. Tan, the school will find out if it’s a false accusation.” The principal spoke to her patiently. “Of course, if you have any new evidence, submit it to us as soon as possible. We don’t want to believe that Tan Jing cheated in the exam. From what 1 remember, Tan Jing has always been a good student as well.”
The homeroom teacher also said, “That’s right. Before Tan Rou came first in class, Tan Jing’s results had always been in the top three of the class. She was also in the top three in her grade and often came in second. However, recently, Tan Jing’s results have fallen very badly…”
Chen Yi interrupted him. “What do you mean by that? Are you saying that my Jingjing’s grades have fallen and she have been cheating before this?!”
The homeroom teacher didn’t mean that. He explained, “You’ve misunderstood me. 1 only said that Tan Jing is a good student. None of the teachers thought that she cheated.”
Tan Jing was furious. It was Tan Rou again. If Tan Rou had not suddenly become first place, second place would still be hers!
“There’s no need for all these.” The principal said, “Currently, Student Tan Jing is suspected of cheating in the exam. She’s injured and now lying in the hospital. She might not be able to make it to the next stage of the competition. Therefore, your results will be revoked this time. Another student will be chosen to replace you.”
When Tan Jing heard that her results were going to be canceled, she could no longer stay calm. She sat up suddenly, but her body was in pain, so she lay back down.
“Don’t cancel my grades. 1 have to take the exam. Principal, please don’t cancel my results, okay?” Tan Jing said excitedly.
“Jingjing, you’re already so injured. How are you going to take the exam?” Chen Yi still felt sorry for Tan Jing.
“Tan Jing, what you have to do now is to recuperate. Don’t think about anything else for now,” the principal advised her.
Tan Jing couldn’t lose this opportunity to be there for the competition. If she didn’t take the exam, others wouldn’t care if it was because of her health. They would definitely say that she had cheated and her results were revoked. No matter what, she had to be there for the competition.
“Principal, I can recover before it. Please let me participate in it.” Tears welled up in Tan Jing’s eyes. “1 can’t miss it!”
The principal was not a cold-hearted person. Moreover, the results of the investigation were not out yet.. If it was proved that she was wronged, wouldn’t it be a waste of a good seedling?
