Chapter 31: Trust

Zhao Yu was a spoilt brat but she was only 15 years old – still just a child!

“Zhao Yu, your earlier words caused a dent to my reputation. Let me warn you, please stop your behavior of infringing on my personal rights. If not, I can sue you for slander. You are not of legal age, but you are already 16 this year. The country’s law is that anyone 16 years or above can be legally charged. Are you prepared to be sued by me?

“Me, what crime have I committed?”

Zhao Yu was stupefied, she had merely stated a few facts, at most they were just gossip about Qiao Nan. What did that have to do with committing a crime?

“Don’t you feel ashamed that you don’t even know that you’ve committed a crime? Don’t tell me that you think you don’t need to be responsible for what you said?” Qiao Nan rolled her eyes. “If you have nothing better to do, please read more books on politics. We are already in secondary three, there’s a lot of law information in those books. Moreover, you are a high school student, don’t act like a moron about law.”

Threatened by Qiao Nan, Zhao Yu was really scared, she started to flip the pages of this year’s newly issued politics textbook.

True enough, there was a lot of law-related knowledge in the textbook.

Although there was no mention of slander in the book, she thought about the look of of conviction on Qiao Nan’s face when she had said those words, and did not dare to gossip about Qiao Nan anymore.

The rest of the classmates had ears for themselves. They clearly heard Qiao Nan and Zhao Yu’s argument.

Initially, when everyone heard that Qiao Nan scored full marks because she cheated, they felt that it was unfair. Why should someone who cheated on the exam receive the best grade for an individual subject?

But everyone did not have that deep an enmity with Qiao Nan.

Besides, this was ultimately a rumour which had just started today, not everyone believed this.

Not long after, a girl came over and sat beside Qiao Nan. “Qiao Nan, do you know why Zhao Yu said that about you just now?”

“Why?” Previously, Zhao Yu just sounded like sour grapes.

“Someone has been spreading that you are close to a group of hooligans, those hooligans were bad and did not have clean hands and feet, they climbed into the school to steal things before. So someone said that your english grades were so good because the hooligans helped you to steal the test papers prior to the exam, that is why you scored full marks.”

Since when was she close to hooligans?

“It’s ridiculous that people believe in such baseless rumors.” Qiao Nan was shaking her head. “Don’t talk about the rest, if I had the means to get the test papers, why did i score 85 marks for Chinese and Maths? Put aside maths, the marks deducted for my Chinese test were those that required memorizing.”

Upon hearing what Qiao Nan said, her classmates felt that she had a point.

True, since she was stealing, why would they steal for one subject and not all?

That Chinese paper of Qiao Nan, which Teacher Li was so angry about, all of the 14 marks were content that required memorizing.

In the whole class, except for Qiao Nan who scored zero out of 14 marks, even the slower ones could get around seven or eight marks.

The first thing that needed to be done after receiving the test paper was to find the answer and memorized them.

Based on her results, it was illogical that she had cheated.
