Chapter 21: 021 Cheating

Translator: 549690339

Just before school let out, Zhu Xiangxiang’s desk mate Wu Jiajia secretly came over and whispered to her, “Xiangxiang, is Ming Jing really good at studying? I saw on the forum that she got full marks on the math quizzes.”

Zhu Xiangxiang’s hand, which was packing her textbooks, paused, then she nonchalantly said, “Really? Ming Jing has always been smart.”

Laughter came from the seat behind her, “You guys actually believe it? It’s just a quiz, not a formal exam, with the learning atmosphere in Class 8. No one cares if you use your phone to copy answers. It’s already fermented on the forum. Don’t you think it’s strange? Xiangxiang, your cheap little sister is not simple at all. She knows how to create hype for herself.”

The one who spoke was one of Zhu Xiangxiang’s best friends, Huang Yue.

Zhu Xiangxiang frowned, “Don’t talk nonsense, Ming Jing is not that kind of person.”

“She just came back, and she has no advantage compared to you in any respect. Her appearance and temperament can’t be changed overnight, and it’s a pipe dream to think of surpassing you right away. The fastest way to surpass you is through grades, and the fastest way to improve grades is to cheat, right? A math full score for a student in Class 8 is laughable. If she had reined in her ambitions a little and scored 80 or 90, it would have been more credible. A full score…is she treating us like fools?” Huang Yue analyzed it logically.o

Wu Jiajia chimed in, “You’re right, but I saw on the forum that her classmates said she works really hard in her studies. What if it was the result of her own efforts?”

“Are you kidding? What kind of teaching resources does Class 8 have? Even a genius could be led astray there. She’s just pretending, if not, how can people believe it?”

Wu Jiajia sighed, “Ah…Xiangxiang, your little sister has such a deep mind.”

Zhu Xiangxiang thought of those eyes, always so calm, as if with no desires, no sorrow, no joy.

Reason told her that Ming Jing had never attended school and, although she could read, she had no foundation. It was impossible for her to achieve a perfect score. But intuition told her that this woman was a mystery, and nothing that happened to her would be strange.

Zhu Xiangxiang didn’t speak, just silently organized her school bag. As soon as the bell rang for the end of school, she left the classroom.

“Do you think Xiangxiang is happy or unhappy?” Wu Jiajia asked Huang Yue curiously.

Huang Yue scoffed, “What do you think, happy or unhappy?

“I don’t know, probably not happy.”

“Well, there you have it. People are selfish by nature. You’ll see, Xiangxiang is no match for the real heiress, but she owes her anyway. Let her pay it back slowly.”

Zhu Xiangxiang waited for a while at the school gate but didn’t see Ming Jing.

The driver asked, “Miss, it’ll be rush hour soon.” Zhu Xiangxiang reluctantly said, “Let’s go.”

“What good news?”

“This weekend, Madam Jiang is holding a small tea party at her home and has invited several famous ladies from Jiangzhou, including you. She just called the house.”

Zhu Xiangxiang raised her eyebrows, “Did she only invite me?”

Lin Qing’s face darkened.

Zhu Xiangxiang immediately understood and took Lin Qing’s hand, “Mom, this is also a good opportunity for Ming Jing to break into Jiangzhou’s social circle.

I’ll take care of her, so don’t worry.”

Actually, the assistant’s original words were, “Oh, right, Madam Jiang is very interested in the true and fake daughter of the Zhu family and has invited both.”

Could Lin Qing refuse? No.

“By the way, I heard that Ming Jing scored full marks in her math quiz this morning. Mom, are you sure Ming Jing never went to school before? Lin Qing was taken aback, “How is that possible?”

She had never actually looked carefully at the results of the private investigator’s investigation, only reviewing the DNA identification result. As for whether Ming Jing had attended school before, she didn’t know. However, thinking about it, Ming Jing had grown up in the nunnery and hadn’t had the opportunity to go to school.

At that time, she just wanted to put Ming Jing into any class so she could get a diploma, which would be less humiliating than admitting Zhu Xiangxiang had never attended school. She never had any expectations of Ming Jing excelling in her studies.

Lin Qing’s first reaction was to become furious, “This damned girl, she has so many wiles, playing the cheating game with me, embarrassing.”

“Mom, why are you accusing her without any investigation? What if Ming Jing really scored full marks? She looks very smart.”

“You’re still defending her now.” Lin Qing went upstairs and came down with a file.

“These are all the information of Ming Jing’s entire life from when she was a

baby until now.” Lin Qing opened the file bag, revealing the thin stack of papers inside. The top sheet was the DNA identification report, followed by two sheets detailing Ming Jing’s life.

This time, Lin Qing read it very carefully, her brow furrowed as she read.

Lin Qing also leaned over to take a look.

It wasn’t very detailed, just recording a few major events that were known from the villagers living at the foot of the mountain.

The papers stated that Ming Jing was abandoned at the entrance of the nunnery. Master Wu Xin took pity on her and adopted her. Ming Jing was Master Wu Xin’s second disciple with one senior and three juniors. Ming Jing’s senior, Ming Xin, often went down the mountain to beg for alms and was well-known among the villagers. Ming Jing, on the other hand, hardly ever went down the mountain and only encountered villagers when they came to the nunnery seeking assistance for their illnesses.

In the villagers’ memories, the second disciple of Master Wu Xin was very mysterious. She never spoke and would silently pass by in the corridors. If she wasn’t meditating in front of the Buddha statue, she was sweeping the courtyard.

One incident that left an indelible impression on the villagers was the time when a dying old man was brought to the nunnery. Not even Master Wu Xin could save the man’s life. The man’s son threatened to tear down the nunnery and even assaulted Master Wu Xin. Suddenly, a broom rushed over and knocked the man to the ground.

The young girl in the monk’s robe stood quietly in the autumn sun, her eyes compassionate but cold, “The pure land of Buddhism will not tolerate this unruly behavior. ”

The man angrily lunged at Ming Jing, but the calm, unruffled girl subdued the much larger man with a few moves and threw him out ot the nunnery.

The villagers who witnessed this were dumbfounded. After that incident, they paid more attention to this young master. Most of the private investigator’s information on Ming Jing came from that villager’s account..
