Chapter 173 Willing to bet and not admit defeat

After hearing Li Hongming's roar, everyone looked at Zhang Maixi with a trace of doubt in their eyes.

Zhang Maixi did too well in the exam this time, so he had to make others think more.

The most important thing is that Su Wenran next to her is the number one in the school. If she looks at it casually, her score will naturally be higher.

Everyone looked at Zhang Maixi to see how she would explain or differentiate, but Zhang Maixi did not panic at all and said very calmly:

"That's right, I copied Su Wenran's answer. What's wrong? I just did better than you in the exam. Our bet didn't say that cheating is not allowed."

Everyone didn't expect Zhang Maixi to admit it frankly, and admired her courage, but some people thought she was thick-skinned.

But she was right, the bet between her and Li Hongming did not say that cheating was not allowed, and only the test scores were considered.

From this point of view, Li Hongming lost.

At this time, the recording on Zhang Maixi's cell phone was still playing.

"Hmph, I, Li Hongming, always count on what I say."

"Hmph, I, Li Hongming, always count on what I say."

"Why, are you willing to bet and refuse to admit defeat?" Zhang Maixi smiled.

Zhu Zhiming and others also booed one after another, saying: "Li Hongming, come on, kiss your butt, we won't take off our pants, it doesn't matter if the pants are in between."

"Come on, let's not watch it." Jin Xin also joked.

Li Hongming's face turned purple, and he ran out of the classroom.

Everyone burst into laughter and said that Li Hongming was going to break the contract.

Not long after Li Hongming left, he came back and said to Su Wenran, "Su Wenran, the head teacher told you to come over."

Su Wenran immediately thought that Li Hongming was going to make a report.

"Li Hongming, why don't you be ashamed, refuse to concede when you lose, and make small reports!" Zhu Zhiming cursed.

Jin Xin, Meng Shasha and others also condemned Li Hongming.

The students were not as disgusted with plagiarism as the small report, and Su Wenran was plagiarized.

So they almost fell to the ground and blamed Li Hongming, saying that he was small-minded and refused to admit it.

Li Hongming knew that he had aroused public anger, so he did not refute and lowered his head to read.

Su Wenran got up and went to Tong Zijie's office. Tong Zijie was reading the report card. Seeing Su Wenran coming, she put down the report card, glanced at him, and said, "Sit down."

Su Wenran didn't sit down, but stood in front of Tong Zijie with her head down.

Tong Zijie stopped talking about sitting down, and asked: "Li Hongming said, Zhang Maixi copied your exam this time, is there such a thing?"

Su Wenran nodded. Zhang Maixi had already admitted this matter in class, so there was no need for him to hide it.

"Did you not pay attention during the exam?"

"I...I didn't pay much attention to her, and she didn't seem to see much."

"You didn't watch her, how do you know she didn't watch much?" Tong Zijie said angrily, "Did you let her watch it on purpose, to make her do better in the exam, and to fear that she would be laughed at by others?"

"Teacher, you think of me too great..."

Tong Zijie frowned and said, "Li Hongming said, before the exam, you were telling Zhang Maixi the exam questions. What's the matter? The exam questions this time were not taken from other materials."

Su Wenran was startled. He didn't expect Li Hongming to find out about it. He didn't know it was an exam question. When he explained it to Zhang Maixi, he didn't think of covering it up. It was normal for Li Hongming to hear it.

But this time it's hard to explain.

If Su Wenran told the truth, Tong Zijie would go to Zhang Maixi. According to Zhang Maixi's character, she might be accused of stealing the test papers all at once.

Zhang Maixi doesn't have many friends in class, and this plagiarism will definitely make many people look down on her. If such a bad thing as stealing test papers is added, Su Wenran really doesn't know if she can stay in this school.

After all, Tong Zijie said that when she transferred, no class was willing to accept her because of her poor grades. If Tong Zijie didn't want her, she would have gone home to raise pigs as she said.

Thinking that Zhang Maixi is an orphan just like herself, and that she stole the test papers to make herself better in the test, she should take care of this matter herself.

In fact, Su Wenran could also lie to Tong Zijie, but he didn't want to, and he had read the test paper before the test, this is an unchangeable fact.

"I...I did read the test paper before the exam..." Su Wenran said.

Tong Zijie was startled and asked, "How did you see it?"

Su Wenran didn't understand how Zhang Maixi got the exam papers, but he felt that since he wanted to take responsibility for this kind of thing, he had to take it all.

"I stole the test paper."

Tong Zijie was too shocked to speak, looked at Su Wenran for a while, and said, "You... how could you do this! You let me down so much."

"I'm sorry." Su Wenran said in a low voice, he could hear that Tong Zijie was really sad.

"Why did you do this?" Tong Zijie said sadly, she never doubted Su Wenran's words.

"Li Hongming always says he did better than me in the exam, but I'm not convinced..."

Tong Zijie looked at Su Wenran and said, "How could you steal the test paper because of this? If you are not convinced, you can work hard to pass him. Besides, so what if you fail the test? Grades are not everything. Be an honest, trustworthy, upright and kind-hearted person." It’s the most important thing.”

Su Wenran felt more and more saddened by Tong Zijie's words, felt guilty, and said, "I'm sorry..."

"What do you want me to do with you?"

Tong Zijie said sadly that she wanted to explain Su Wenran to Li Hongming and the whole class.

If the matter of stealing test papers was revealed, the school would definitely know about it, and they couldn't hide it. But if she suppressed it here, Tong Zijie felt that it would be unfair to the whole class and even the whole school. As a teacher, she couldn't behave like this.

"Why don't you lie to me! I believe everything you say."

Tong Zijie glanced at Su Wenran and complained that she really didn't know how to deal with Su Wenran now.

Su Wenran felt guilty and thought: I did lie to you, but I just wanted to protect Zhang Maixi. I hope you can understand.

"I'll surrender to the school leader, so don't worry about it, the teacher."

After Su Wenran finished speaking calmly, she left Tong Zijie's office and walked to the school's teaching office.

Tong Zijie quickly caught up with him, stopped him and said, "Go back, this matter... I... we can just criticize it in our own class."

"Teacher, don't lie to yourself. There is no impenetrable wall. If you tell the class, other classes will always know. If the school leader knows, they will implicate you and say you are covering up."

"Then...then you...just go back and say you didn't cheat. Li Hongming misheard, I...I won't say anything..."

Seeing Tong Zijie's helpless look, Su Wenran was suddenly moved.

"Teacher Tong, didn't you say that acknowledging your mistakes can greatly improve things? Don't worry, I will confess to myself and it won't be serious."
