The entire classroom was stunned.
Li Xuekai was stunned. “Investigating Mr. Li? Isn’t Huaxia University investigating Xue Xi?”
The few organizing staff were even more stunned. “The task we were asked to investigate was the complaint about Mr. Li’s style of teaching, so we came here. We have already obtained some evidence of Mr. Li accepting bribes from students and selling answers to test questions at the Golden Autumn Camp. Now, we are only here to see how he is doing in school.”
The moment he said this, Li Xi’s legs turned weak and she sat on the chair with a loud thud.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoxiao, whose eyes were red from anxiety, looked at Xue Xi in disbelief and then at the staff...
Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly recalled the calm expression on the Master’s face yesterday. Thinking about how she was still playing games last night, she felt that the reason why the Master was so calm was that she knew that this matter had been settled!
She could not help but gulp. So this matter had something to do with the Master?
After the classroom quietened down, the staff turned to look at Xiang Huai. “Mhm, can you explain in detail how Mr. Li scolded you? And what did he do to you?”
Xiang Huai lowered his eyes and smiled. “Oh, I forgot.”
The staff: “...”
They had already gathered all the evidence against Mr. Li. There was nothing else that needed to be said. The staff had come here only to make an appearance.
Seeing that Xiang Huai did not say anything, they simply asked for more details and questions before leaving.
After they left, everyone in the class turned to look at Li Xi.
Her face was pale. After the staff had left, she rushed to the door and stopped Mr. Wei. “Mr. Wei, where is my uncle?”
Mr. Wei sighed. “He has been arrested today and can’t come to work for the time being.”
Li Xi gulped. “When can he come back to work, then?”
Mr. Wei said, “That will depend on the higher-ups. Moreover, if we can confirm his crimes, he might not return to work again.”
Li Xi was about to cry. She took out her phone and walked out. “I’m going to contact my father!”
The situation had been reversed and the class was in an uproar again.
Everyone who’d thought that Xue Xi would be unlucky could not help but look at her. Even the other two people in the same dormitory felt extremely guilty. They approached Xue Xi and said, “Goddess, we... we’re sorry. Can you forgive us?”
Xue Xi looked at them and replied slowly, “There is nothing to forgive because I have never blamed you guys.”
She was not a saint.
Instead, she had never considered the two of them as friends.
What was a stranger’s love or disgust to her?
The two of them heaved a sigh of relief when they heard her words. However, they had no idea how hard it was to become Xue Xi’s friend and what they had missed.
Zhang Xiaoxiao pouted indignantly. “They were the ones who were afraid of being implicated yesterday, yet they still have the cheek to ask you to forgive them today. I’m really speechless.”
Xue Xi smiled at her. “Have you finished your paper?”
Zhang Xiaoxiao instantly became anxious. “No. Eh, I don’t know how to answer this question. Studying Goddess, lend me your paper~”
Xue Xi passed her the papers that she had already answered and Zhang Xiaoxiao started to do the questions seriously.
The classroom finally quietened down. Everyone was engrossed in their studies. After all, the first day of Mr. Li’s incident did not cause any impact on everyone.
Mr. Wei quickly took over Mr. Li’s position. The Math Olympiad team sent a few teachers to the class together. During the self-study class, the teachers were all in the classroom, making it easier for the students to ask questions at any time.
On this day, Li Xi was not in a good mood. She sat in her seat and stared hatefully at Xue Xi.
During lunch, Xue Xi brought Xiang Huai to the canteen.
After a while, Zhang Xiaoxiao walked over. “Goddess, come here.”
She glanced at Xiang Huai.
Xue Xi did not know what was going on and followed Zhang Xiaoxiao to the side. She saw Zhang Xiaoxiao showing her an online thread. “Goddess of Studying, this must have been posted by Li Xi. Do you want to explain to your boyfriend?”
Xue Xi: “?”
She lowered her head to take a look and realized that in the Math Olympiad thread, there was a post saying that she was a promiscuous woman and that she was two-timing.
Zhang Xiaoxiao coughed. “Goddess, well, you and Li Zixuan are indeed too close. Your boyfriend will be jealous, right?”
Xue Xi: “...”
She silently looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao and then at Xiang Huai. She did not know how to explain this matter.
She returned the phone to Zhang Xiaoxiao and said, “It’s fine.”
Zhang Xiaoxiao: “No, you’ve already made him a cuckold and you’re still fine?”
“...Yes.”
When they returned to the dining table, Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at Xiang Huai, then at Xue Xi. All of a sudden, she said, “Goddess, I suddenly feel that you and Li Zixuan are quite compatible. Why don’t you break up with your boyfriend? Anyway, I saw the thread that said your current boyfriend is too worldly for you. That kind of person will definitely just covet your money!”
Xiang Huai: “??”
After saying that, Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. “Goddess, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone!”
Xue Xi: “...”
After the three of them had lunch, Li Xuekai followed them back. Walking beside Xue Xi, he asked, “Have you finished the third set of papers?”
Xue Xi nodded. “Yes.”
“What’s the answer for the last question?”
Unknowingly, Xue Xi slowed down and walked with Li Xuekai.
Zhang Xiaoxiao silently looked at Xiang Huai. She felt that he had just grifted someone else, but now he was the one who’s being cheated on.
The group returned to the classroom.
In the afternoon, Mr. Wei entered the classroom with the exam papers from yesterday. “Alright, the teachers have graded the papers overnight. We’ve already finished checking all of them today and have already sorted them out. The grades will be distributed to everyone tomorrow. For now, I’ll distribute the papers first! Li Zixuan, 160 marks.”
A score of 160 out of 300 sounded very low, but yesterday’s pre-test was already very difficult. It was already not bad that he could get this score!
Seeing that the papers were being distributed, Li Xi finally regained her senses. She stared at Xue Xi and mocked, “I wonder how many marks the Goddess of Studying will get this time?”
Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately retorted, “It was all Mr. Li’s fault, what happened during the examination. The Master standing for the entire examination will definitely affect her performance!”
Li Xi sneered. “Don’t talk about useless things. If she didn’t score well, she didn’t score well. What excuse are you looking for?”
After she said this, the teacher read Xue Xi’s name.
Li Xi and everyone in the room turned to look at the podium.
