Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 55: Such an Exam 2_1

"I’m done," Shangguan You announced, elegantly standing up amidst the crowd’s varied gazes. Four and a half hours had passed, and she had finished half an hour early. Fortunately, her computer skills were solid. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to complete the task so quickly.

As soon as her words fell, everyone snapped out of their daze. Vice Director Feng, along with several officials from the Education Bureau, immediately took out the answer keys and began grading the exam in front of everyone.

Half an hour later, the crowd received an unbelievable result: she had achieved a perfect score of 750 points—a result that even the previous year’s top scorer in the college entrance exam couldn’t match.

Whether it was the staff, students, and parents from City B First Middle School or everyone watching on their televisions, they all gasped upon hearing the news. A first-year high school student who had skipped a grade had actually scored full marks! This demonstrated that the school’s teaching quality was clearly excellent, placing it at the pinnacle of all schools in B City. City B First Middle School once again became the most sought-after institution, with countless parents and students clamoring for transfers.

The entire nation watching could attest that Shangguan You’s result was authentic; she had not cheated.

Long Hua watched her composed face, which seemed to grow brighter. This brat really does have some ability. What else might they not know about her?

"Hmph, who cares if she has ability or not? We’ll teach her a good lesson tonight," Chu Yi said indifferently, adjusting his glasses. "Just because she’s a good student doesn’t mean we’ll let her off the hook."

"Yes," Long Hua nodded in agreement.

"Anzi, investigate Shangguan You’s background. I want to know everything about her before nightfall," Chu Yi commanded into the seemingly empty air. A ghostly voice immediately echoed in the room:

"Yes, Young Master Chu." A dark figure had already vanished toward the door...

「In the CEO’s office of Genesis.」

Third Young Master Ye watched the results on television, a smile flickering across his captivating face. This girl has truly made quite a stir. It seems it’s time for me to add some fuel to the fire, make this news burn brighter, and let those people over there know. Perhaps this girl will thank me in the future.

"President," Ye An said, standing respectfully before Third Young Master Ye, awaiting his orders.

"Mm, broadcast it nationwide. Let everyone know that City B First Middle School has produced a genius."

"Yes, President," Ye An replied and withdrew.

Watching the calm and composed figure on television, the smile at the corners of Third Young Master Ye’s mouth couldn’t help but widen. Things are getting more and more interesting.

「Beijing, the military compound, Shangguan Villa.」

An elderly man in military uniform, over fifty but still robust and possessing an authoritative aura, laughed heartily as he watched the broadcast. He stood up from the sofa in excitement, his eyes fixed on the elegant figure on the screen.

"Good, good! Truly worthy of being a daughter of the Shangguan Family!"

"Old Master, the military doctor said you shouldn’t get too excited," a kind-faced elderly servant said respectfully, handing a cup of hot tea to the family patriarch. "A granddaughter of the Shangguan Family, no matter what happens or where she is, will naturally be exceptional."

On another sofa, a mother and daughter sat, their smiles visibly forced. The middle-aged woman, around thirty-seven or thirty-eight, wore a stiff, disingenuous smile. Despite her age, she still possessed an alluring charm and could be considered a beauty.

Beside her sat a girl of fifteen or sixteen who strongly resembled the middle-aged woman. Though she too was smiling, her eyes, which should have been innocent, were filled with palpable hatred. Her small, pale hands were clenched so tightly that red marks appeared on her skin.

No matter the hatred in their hearts, their faces maintained a constant smile.

Indeed, joy for some is sorrow for others.

「Inside the lecture hall of City B First Middle School.」

A faint smile played on Shangguan You’s lips. She simply nodded with a smile in response to the reporters’ questions, not answering any of them directly. Her profound gaze swept almost imperceptibly over the pale-faced Yang Liwen, Shen Jia, Li Ruo, Gao Yuanyuan, and Liao Sisi, the smile at the corners of her lips widening.

"The people of this nation are my witnesses: I, Shangguan You, did not cheat during the exam. My results were earned through my own effort. Now then, Teacher Yang Liwen, and students Shen Jia, Li Ruo, Gao Yuanyuan, and Liao Sisi—are you ready to take responsibility for your previous words and actions?" Her cool voice cut through the clamor and excitement, ringing clearly throughout the lecture hall and reaching every ear.

Following Shangguan You’s words, all eyes once again focused on Yang Liwen’s pale, trembling figure. Shen Jia, the other three students, and their parents also saw their expressions falter.

The reporters dredged up the recent examination debacle once more. A flurry of pointed questions was again directed at the instigators: Yang Liwen, Shen Jia, Li Ruo, Gao Yuanyuan, and Liao Sisi. The dark lenses of the cameras pulled the five of them back into the spotlight for a live broadcast.

In other words, Yang Liwen and the students were now expected to apologize to Shangguan You before the entire nation, bringing their wager into the public eye. If they dared to renege, they would face nationwide condemnation.

"Shouldn’t an educator lead by example and admit their mistakes?"

"Teacher Yang, you once loudly and righteously accused Shangguan You of cheating and buying test questions from school staff. Four students also unanimously corroborated your claim. Now that the results are out, don’t the five of you intend to take responsibility for your words and actions?"

"Do you five intend to go back on your word? Shangguan You accepted the entire nation’s scrutiny. Are all of you, older than her—and especially you, Teacher Yang, an educator for over a decade—afraid to accept these consequences? If that is indeed the case, then I must ask: can Teacher Yang Liwen, with such an attitude, continue to be an educator and remain teaching at City B First Middle School?"

Shangguan You stood on the stage with a faint smile, observing Yang Liwen’s ashen face, now beaded with cold sweat. A sneer touched her lips.

"If Teacher Yang, Shen Jia, and the other students are unwilling to apologize, then I ask everyone here to bear witness. While speech may be free, their words have severely damaged my reputation and the school’s honor. I will file a formal complaint regarding this matter to seek justice. Some things can be said casually, but for other statements, especially accusations like these, one must bear the corresponding consequences."
