Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

95 Not punished



“It will be Miss An for you,” An Qinyan smiled as she took a seat and gestured to Lu Xuan to stand beside her. “I wonder why teacher Liu had to call me to school?”

“Miss An, your son has cheated in the monthly exam. We are certain that he had copied his answers from the student who was sitting behind him,” Teacher Liu replied and Lu Xuan looked at his mother in a panic.

The student sitting behind him was none other than Orange who had scored the same marks. Everyone was of the view that Lu Xuan had copied his answers from Orange.

An Qinyan didn’t need to ask Lu Xuan any other question because she could read in his eyes that he hadn’t cheated. She squeezed his hand and said to the teacher, “Teacher Liu, if my son cheated in the exam, he would have to turn his head to look at the answer sheet of other students.”

Taking a pause, she went on, “I would like to ask what the invigilator or other staff on duty was doing?”.

Her questions rendered the teacher speechless but she didn’t stop there, “Did they not see him cheating in the class? Jingyuan High is a reputable school in not just the city but in the entire country. With such a huge budget, I am sure the CCTV cameras are installed in every nook and corner of the school?”

Lu Xuan turned his gaze to look at his mother who was ruthlessly speaking to his teacher. Why did it feel like his mother was a lawyer, not his father?

“I remember in the last board of directors meeting, someone had raised a question on ways to tackle school bullying, CCTV was one of the solutions? Did you check the cameras before putting the allegation on my son?” An Qinyan asked.

Teacher Liu had nothing to report. Clearly, he had not checked the CCTV camera. It was because Lu Xuan’s reputation speaks louder than any proof. He need not check any CCTV footage to find if the boy had cheated or not.

“Teacher Liu, how are you going to apologise now?” An Qinyan asked when they checked the footage and didn’t find any evidence of Lu Xuan cheating in the exam. They saw him giving bad looks to Orange who had copied the entire paper from him.

She might be ruthless in her approach by asking the teacher to apologise to her son but she felt that it was necessary. She had seen how the staff appointed on duty was busy chatting with each other and almost every student took advantage of the same thing. Clearly, it was the school at fault but they had almost broken the confidence and will of a student.

It was for the first time Lu Xuan scored such good marks. Yes, fifty percent in second monthly exams was not a small feat for someone like him who would either have backlogs or pass on margin.

What if they had succeeded in punishing Lu Xuan?

Would the boy work hard to score good marks again?

He wouldn’t. And why would he? He was at the age of life where he was considering himself a grown-up. Teenagers tend to think of themselves as adults when they are nothing but children. The only difference was that they couldn’t be handled by using the same techniques that they use in children.

A teenager like Lu Xuan who was not only prideful but also vain when it came to his reputation would never study again. He would always quote the one bad scene where he was punished for scoring good marks than the hundred other good ones.

“Miss An–” Before teacher Liu could speak, he saw the principal and vice-principal entering the Teacher’s office. When the men heard that President An, who was now a board of directors of the school and had donated a library and a laboratory, was called to school for something so absurd, they came running to meet the woman. They knew that it was the school at fault yet the innocent student was insulted for nothing.

“President An, I apologise for the misunderstanding. The school has suspended the teachers for their misbehaviour, “The principal said. “I hope you will give the school a chance to rectify their mistake.”

“Apology can be easily earned,” An Qinyan said as she smiled at the two men. “I heard my son was disqualified from the football team even before trial.”

Lu Xuan’s eyes turned to look at his mother in shock. He hadn’t told anyone that he had submitted the application for joining the football team but his application was not accepted because of his reputation and the coach said that the football team didn’t want to include violent elements.

“I will talk to Coach Sun, “The vice principal said. In his eyes, she could see that he was just saying this for the sake of appeasing her. They wouldn’t take Lu Xuan to the team.

“I only ask the Principal and the Vice-Principal to give Lu Xuan a chance for a trial. If he qualifies for the trial, the football team can take him in and if not, there is no need. I believe in equal and fair chances for all,” An Qinyan said, putting the principal and his minions in a tight spot.

Seeing that there was no other way to convince her, the principal agreed to a single trial. Therefore, the entire football team would be selected again and all the students could submit an application form for the selection and once their application was submitted, they could appear for trial.

After that, An Qinyan received Lu Xuan’s test paper from the teacher and she was surprised to see how well he had performed in mathematics. He had scored seventy out of hundred and it was really a good score in her opinion. Apart from that, he had good scores in language. It was just his science, social studies and English that were relatively weak.

It wasn’t her even Lu Xuan was shocked to see his test papers. He must be possessed by a ghost or how else would he answer the questions correctly?
