Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Keep on making excuses

Editor: Inschain

Lu Ting’s eyes flashed with disdain, scoffing at the realization that Qiao Yun had cheated. If her family were to find out about this, well…

Jiang Huai snorted coldly, “Teacher, I think we should investigate this matter. Otherwise, it’s unfair to the rest of us. Why should our hard work be overshadowed by someone who cheats?”

He wouldn’t let Lu Ting’s first place be taken away so easily.

Wu Xianfeng didn’t rush to a decision but turned to Qiao Yun, “Qiao Yun, do you have anything to say?”

Even under suspicion, Qiao Yun remained composed, “Just because I got first place, you suspect me of cheating. This kind of bias is not acceptable.”

Jiang Huai: “…”

No one was discussing biases, wasn’t the real issue about cheating??

“Haha, you still won’t admit it now. Do you know how difficult Shengyang’s paper was? Your high score was suspicious from the start.”

Jiang Huai was determined to get to the bottom of this, and not just for Lu Ting’s sake, but also to avenge yesterday’s incident with the chair.

Without proving her innocence, it wouldn’t be long before the whole school knew her first place was the result of cheating.

Xia Ling, looking at the pressured and isolated Qiao Yun, couldn’t help but speak out, “If you did cheat, just admit it. The worst that’ll happen is your score is invalidated and you get a demerit.”

Better than being a stubborn duck and getting exposed later on.

Wu Xianfeng studied Qiao Yun, noting that even in this awkward situation where the whole class disbelieved her, she remained calm, without a hint of emotional disturbance.

Her calmness was, oddly enough, convincing.

He didn’t want to misunderstand any student, having seen many students spiral down after being misjudged by teachers, ruining their lives.

“Qiao Yun, I have a way for you to prove yourself. Are you willing to demonstrate that you didn’t cheat?”

Wu Xianfeng said to Jiang Huai with a smile, “It’s right to speak up about suspicions, but without sufficient evidence, we shouldn’t make hasty decisions. Sometimes, your doubts could destroy a person’s life.”

With the teacher saying so, Jiang Huai could only stay silent.

Qiao Yun lifted her eyelids to look at Wu Xianfeng and nodded, “Okay.”

She felt satisfied inside, he was a good teacher, and Shengyang’s criteria for choosing teachers were impeccable.

Wu Xianfeng’s method was simple: he would personally set the questions, and Qiao Yun would solve them in front of the whole class.

Wu Xianfeng sought the class’s opinion, “What do you all think?”

The classmates had no objections.

This method seemed very fair; Wu Xianfeng, as a teacher, surely wouldn’t aid Qiao Yun in cheating.

Lu Ting glanced at Qiao Yun with contempt, her mood having calmed down. Now she was just watching the drama unfold as a spectator.

It was Qiao Yun’s own stubborn refusal to admit to cheating, wanting to feign knowledge. If she made a fool of herself next,

well, all the better.

After a moment’s thought, she quietly took out her phone and sent a message to Lu Jingzhi.

[Brother, it’s bad, Qiao Yun is suspected of cheating by the teacher. I don’t know what to do.]

On the blackboard, Wu Xianfeng wrote down ten problems, classified as low, medium, and high difficulty, setting them in a very fair manner.

After finishing the last problem, he paused and boldly added the advanced mathematics problem that had stumped all the math teachers, unsolved to date.

Of course, he didn’t expect Qiao Yun could solve it.

This was a problem the principal had presented to all the math teachers, with the promise that if solved, the end-of-month bonus would be doubled. It’s said to have been left to the principal by his own teacher, Mr. Q.

Wu Xianfeng chuckled to himself, thinking he must be crazy to give the students such a difficult question. If Qiao Yun could solve it, what was he even doing as a teacher.

Just as he was thinking of erasing it, he heard Qiao Yun ask him.
