Mr. Gu, my wife has blocked you.

Qin Xiao was surprised to hear the news and immediately called his instructor back, "Teacher Zhao, the notice I received asked me to retake the course. I want to ask if it was a mistake. I passed the make-up exam, so why did I receive a notice to retake the course?"

The counselor said, "Wait a minute, let me take a look."

"it is good."

Qin Xiao was nervous, but still thought that the school had made a mistake.

After a long half minute, Qin Xiao heard the instructor's voice, "I checked, and sure enough, you are on the list of students who need to retake the course."

Qin Xiao's expression changed. "I clearly passed the make-up exam, why am I included?"

He thought of the recent hot topic on the Internet, pursed his lips and asked, "Did the school determine that I plagiarized? So they invalidated my grades?"

"This... I'm not too sure. I just received a notification from the department."

Qin Xiao clenched his phone tightly. "The make-up exam classroom has surveillance cameras. I can tell if I cheated by just checking the surveillance cameras. Can't you find out?"

The counselor whispered, "Student Qin Xiao, this matter is not as simple as you think."

"How complicated is it?" Qin Xiao closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "For the sake of their own reputation, the school wants to invalidate my grades to appease public anger even though they know I didn't plagiarize?"

The counselor probably didn't know what to say. After a long while, he sighed and said, "You can call Dean Liao. He is in charge of this matter."

Qin Xiao could only find the phone number of Dean Liao's assistant. When he called, his assistant said that he had gone to City B to attend an important meeting in the next two days and could not answer the phone for the time being. He should wait until he came back.

The revision list cannot be changed after this week, and Qin Xiao has no time to wait.

Mrs. Qin was also very anxious when she learned about this. She initially went to the school to question the matter. As a result, a director in Qin Xiao's school said that when Qin Xiao was taking the make-up exam, the surveillance camera in the classroom was broken and his position was not captured, so it was unclear whether he had cheated or not.

Because there was no evidence, the school considered everything and decided to cancel his make-up exam results and make him retake the exam. After all, Qin Xiao's previous grades were too poor. If the school really wanted to be strict, they could give him a demerit for cheating or even expel him.

Mrs. Qin was naturally dissatisfied with the explanation given by the school and started arguing with someone in the office. This matter became a hot topic in their department, and Qin Xiao's cheating seemed to be confirmed in the eyes of his classmates.

A classmate who failed the exam with him but didn't pass sent a message to Qin Xiao, "Dude, you are too disloyal. You didn't even share the answers!"

Qin Xiao looked unhappy and said in the group, "I didn't cheat!"

After the message was sent, there was silence in the group for a long time, and then someone said, "Actually, there is nothing shameful about retaking the course."

"It's better than a warning for cheating."

……

No one spoke in the group anymore. Everyone believed that he had cheated. Qin Xiao suddenly felt very bored. He left the group, threw his phone aside, and buried himself in the quilt.

Mrs. Qin brought Qin Xiao's favorite food to the hospital to accompany her son. While serving the food, she said, "Mom has asked a friend to contact Director Liao. I must ask him to give me an explanation for this matter and clear your name. Don't be sad. Eat first. You will get better faster after eating."

Qin Xiao sat on the hospital bed, his face lifeless. He was silent for a moment and said, "Mom, I want to study abroad."

Mrs. Qin paused, put down her bowl and chopsticks and sat down.

"Do you want to study abroad, or do you not want to stay here because of this incident?"

Qin Xiao didn't say anything. He bit his lip for a long time before saying, "Now that things have gotten to this point, no one believes me anymore. They all think I cheated, so my grades are invalidated. What am I doing here? Am I going to be laughed at?"

"If you leave now, won't they think you are guilty and left the country because you were too embarrassed to stay in school after being exposed?"

Qin Xiao's eyes were red. "I don't care what they think. Anyway, I've gone abroad. I can't hear or see anything."

"So you're going to stay abroad forever and never come back?"

Qin Xiao opened his mouth but said nothing.

Of course not. His parents are here, his roots are here, he will definitely come back.

Mrs. Qin said earnestly, "Xiaoxiao, once a person's reputation is ruined, it is very difficult to get it back. You went abroad to study, and you avoided this matter. When you come back from school, you will have to contact your old friends and classmates again. When they see you, won't they mention the past again? You didn't choose to clarify it when your reputation was damaged, so when they bring it up again in the future, you won't wrongly accuse you, understand?"

"How can I clarify? There is no surveillance, nothing. No one can prove my innocence, and no one believes me," Qin Xiao said hoarsely, "Mom, what should I do?"

Mrs. Qin felt distressed. She stroked her son's face and comforted him softly, "Who said no one believes you? I believe that your father, brother, and sister-in-law all believe you. Be good, don't be afraid. With your mother here, no one can hurt my son. I will make sure you return to school with a clean record."

Qin Xiao wanted to say something when someone knocked on the ward door.

He turned his back and wiped his face, trying to control his emotions.

Mrs. Qin also controlled her emotions, stood up and opened the door.

When the door opened, Mrs. Qin was a little surprised by the person who came in - Su Wanqin.

Su Wanqin came with her assistant Cheng Yue. They were carrying a lot of gifts. As soon as the door opened, Su Wanqin breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "I thought I had found the wrong place, but it seems I was right."

Mrs. Qin looked at the two of them and said, "Boss Su, what are you doing..."

"I heard from a friend a few days ago that Qin Xiao was injured while drinking tea. I wanted to come over then, but I was afraid that there would be too many visitors at that time, so I delayed coming for a few days. Is Qin Xiao feeling better? Is he recovering well?"

"Not bad." Since they were visiting the patient, there was no reason to chase them out. Mrs. Qin opened the door wide and said, "Mr. Su, please come in and talk."

Su Wanqin responded and walked in with Cheng Yue one after another.

Qin Xiao is young and recovers quickly. He has been able to walk these two days and is in good spirits. Su Wanqin sat next to him and comforted Qin Xiao for a few words, then started chatting with Mrs. Qin.

The main topic was still about Qin Xiao's injury, and all the words said were to comfort Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin was naturally not worried about Qin Xiao's injury. What she was worried about now was clearing her son's name, so she seemed a little absent-minded during the conversation.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Qin's cell phone rang. It was the friend she had asked to help contact Dean Liao.

The task was not accomplished, and Mrs. Qin's expression became visibly disappointed. She hung up after chatting for a few words.

"Mrs. Qin, I just heard you call to contact Dean Liao. Is it Liao Chengfeng from S University?"

Mrs. Qin was stunned. "Do you know this person?"

Su Wanqin said, "I have a friend who is a relative of Dean Liao. We played mahjong together a few times before. We know each other, but we are not very familiar with each other. What do you want to see him about?"

Mrs. Qin's eyes lit up, "I——"

"Mom, I want to go to the bathroom."
