"You don’t have to worry about me."
As she spoke, Yao Tang smiled up at her teacher. "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Liang. I’ll be heading out first. I still have plenty of things to do."
Teacher Liang could see that she
After Yao Tang packed her things, she went back to her room and covered her head to sleep.
She had been working had for the past month, and she didn’t have the chance to sleep in. Now that the college entrance exam was over, she could finally sleep comfortably again. The warm mattress enveloped her as she closed her eyes. It was nice to rest after a long day.
While Yao Tang was resting, a post appeared on the school’s forum.
THE FORMER TOP STUDENT FAKES HER EXAM RESULTS? SHE DID NOT TAKE THE COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM? The post offered a detailed explanation on how great Yao Tang’s results had been in the past. However, it seemed that she had given up her college entrance exam during this time. Therefore, they believed that hte only reason she got full marks was because she had faked everything.
She wouldn’t dare take the college entrance exam because there was no way she could fake the results.
Everyone who admired Yao Tang greatly, so it didn’t take long for them to curse the poster.
"You’re just jealous of her! If you really want to accuse her of something, say it to her face!"
The poster wasn’t a student, and they definitely hadn’t even met Yao Tang before! However, as more and more people saw the posts, they all left their own malicious comments.
"I knew it. How could anyone get a perfect score?"
"Even the genius of No. 1 High School couldn’t take the college entrance exam? How humiliating."
"I’ve heard of her a long time ago. All she does is show off her skills. All she is, is a pretty face with no brain." Gradually, the comments section began piling up.
There were a few who had said how she had simply come from a poor family. There were others who had brought up how she didn’t do well in her school in the past. She was sketchy, was what they were all trying to say.
Suddenly, all the students from Yao Tang’s class began speaking up for her鈥攐ne by one. However, it was too late. So many people had already been manipulated by the anonymous post.
"Of course, you’re going to protect her. You’re a bunch of suckers."
While Yao Tang had been asleep, her phone was turned silent. It was only when she woke up did she realize how many calls she had missed.
"Sister Tang, wake up! Do you know how many people have been slandering you? What do you want me to do about them?"
She furrowed her eyebrows. She glanced at the numerous posts flooding her screen and carefully pieced the details.
Only then did she call the principal.
When she picked up the phone, the principal’s apologetic voice echoed across the room. "I’ve read about what had happened. Don’t worry, the school is handling it right now!"
Before she could speak, he snapped, "I can’t believe these people! How can they spread malicious rumors about you? I’ll make sure that I’ll get them back for you, you hear me? I..."
Only then did he realize that he was speaking this entire time. The principal blinked. "Yao Tang? Do you have anything to say?"
