Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Early the next morning, just as the sun rose, Chen Li and Li Chengqian set off from home.
They didn’t want to go with Huang Jingjing, nor did they want to run into her.
In order to take care of Li Chengqian’s self-esteem, ever since Li Chengqian returned the day before, they had not taken the initiative to ask about Li Chengqian’s exam results.
They only kept reiterating to him that he should persevere.
At that time, Li Chengqian was engrossed with the programming of the new operating system, as such he didn’t pay much attention to this matter.
Therefore Li Chengqian didn’t speak to his parents about the results of this exam.
Seeing Chen Li’s nervous expression, Li Chengqian smiled and said, “Mom, don’t be nervous.”
“I did very well in this second mock exam!”
“Full marks for all four subjects.”
“The full marks test paper and the rumor of calligraphy god that has been circulating in school are actually me.” Li Chengqian showed Chen Li a few pictures of the test papers on his phone.
Chen Li looked at Li Chengqian in shock, then looked at the test paper. “Son, when did your handwriting become so good?”
Li Chengqian had already expected this question. He quickly took out a new notebook from his bag.
Indeed, the difference between his current and previous handwriting was too drastic.
At first glance, no one would think that it was written by the same person.
“Mom, why would I lie to you? This is the notebook I’ve been using to take notes. Take a look.”
Chen Li opened the notebook skeptically, and a beautiful line appeared in front of her. Every word was strong and powerful, and was especially beautifully written.
Moreover, this handwriting was almost identical to the handwriting on the test paper.
On the way, Li Chengqian tried his best to convince them.
Chen Li finally believed that he had scored 100 marks.
Chen Li was so stunned by this piece of news that she entered the classroom of Grade 12 Class 5 in a daze.
“I have to call Old Li and tell him the good news.” Chen Li was about to take out her phone to make a call when she suddenly stopped.
She had to be absolutely sure about this, else it would be especially embarrassing.
After thinking about it, Chen Li suppressed the excitement in her heart and thought to herself, “I’d better call Old Li after the results are announced. What if I’m happy for nothing...”
Not long after, most of the parents had arrived.
Jian Qingli led Huang Jingjing into the classroom.
When she saw Chen Li, her eyes lit up. Then, she quickly sat down beside Chen Li.
“Chen Li, you’re early.” Huang Jingjing said warmly, as if she had already forgotten what had happened on Peach Blossom Mountain.
“Sister Huang!” Chen Li greeted her briefly. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and tried to stay calm.
Usually, when she saw Huang Jingjing, she would be afraid that Huang Jingjing would talk about Li Chengqian’s grades again.
Now, with confidence, the fear in her heart had disappeared.
Huang Jingjing was a little surprised that this time round, Chen Li wasn’t avoiding eye contact.
“Chen Li, let me tell you. I just heard the other parents talking about your son.”
“Someone even made a photo of your son sleeping in class into an emoticon,” Huang Jingjing said as she handed her phone to Chen Li.
This was a photo of Li Chengqian sleeping on the table, and there were three lines of captions in red.
I, Li Chengqian, scored 280 points in the mock exam.
Although I sleep in class,
“However, I am confident that I can get into university.
“Look, it’s really too wicked...” Huang Jingjing laughed out loud though she claimed that it was wicked. She looked at Chen Li as if she had just heard a joke.
This photo was sent to her by Jian Qingli. It was in all the class chat groups at Tianyi High School.
This photo was even sent to the parents chat group.
Therefore, many people already knew about Li Chengqian and saw him as a joke.
Chen Li looked at the photo and her face darkened.
This wasn’t just wicked, this was designed to ruin Li Chengqian’s future. This was to make Li Chengqian the joke of Tianyi High School.
“Fortunately, my son’s studies have improved...” Chen Li was terrified.
If Li Chengqian was still a poor student and found out about the photo, he would definitely not have the face to continue coming to school.
“Chen Li, let me tell you. Actually, it doesn’t matter if your results are bad. As long as you know your place, no one will say anything.”
“I’ve asked Qingli, she said that your son bragged about making it to university in class.”
“With his grades, he can hardly make it to a technical college, let alone university. Isn’t he making a fool of himself by bragging that he would make it to university...” Huang Jingjing’s message was that your son asked for it by bragging despite his poor grades.
“My son will definitely get into university!” Chen Li said with absolute certainty.
Li Chengqian could get full marks in all subjects. He could get into any university.
“Hehe...” Huang Jingjing chuckled a fake smile and despised Chen Li even more. “You’re stubborn. He is about to be assigned to the Progressive class, and he is still thinking of getting into university? What a joke.”
“Your son is a joke, and so are you.”
...
...
As the seats were all given to the parents, the students were all gathered in the corridor outside the classroom.
Liu Daqiang smiled mockingly as he walked to Li Chengqian’s side.
“Li Chengqian, I have an especially funny joke here. Let me share it with you...”
The originally noisy corridor instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at Li Chengqian strangely, and several people couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
They all knew what Liu Daqiang was about to do.
He was going to show Li Chengqian a photoshopped photo of himself!
“Do you guys think Liu Daqiang will be beaten up by the enraged Li Chengqian?” There were also people discussing softly.
“Liu Daqiang was really mean to make this photo. He has made Li Chengqian infamous.”
“If I were Li Chengqian, I would definitely not let Liu Daqiang off.”
Amidst the whispers of the crowd, Li Chengqian calmly took out his phone and then opened the photo.
...
Immediately, three lines of red and bold words appeared in front of him.
“What do you think? Is this joke funny?” Liu Daqiang laughed hysterically. His laughter was extremely proud and arrogant, and he laughed so hard he was bent over backwards.
“Li Chengqian, you are a joke!”
“Not only will you become a joke, but your parents will also become a joke because of you.” After saying this, Liu Daqiang laughed again.
Li Chengqian closed the picture and looked at Liu Daqiang calmly. His eyes were steely cold. “Liu Daqiang, is there any meaning in doing this?”
“Looking at a joke, of course it’s very interesting!” Liu Daqiang disdainfully glanced at Li Chengqian.
“Li Chengqian, bad news. The photo has been sent to all the class chat groups and parents chat groups...” Just then, Ding Ling walked over anxiously.
“Li Chengqian, look, you’re famous! You’ve become a famous joke, hahaha...” Liu Daqiang laughed proudly again.
“Liu Daqiang, has it occured to you that if my results turn out very good this time... you will become the joke of Tianyi High School?” Li Chengqian gestured for Ding Ling to calm down a little and spoke with a cold tone.
“Hahahaha... Your results are very good? This is another precious joke!” Liu Daqiang snorted with disdain.
“Liu Daqiang, have you thought about it? You are slandering and insulting me now, it’s a crime! You’ll go to jail.” Li Chengqian still spoke calmly.
“The Law on Public Security Administration Punishments stipulates that those who publicly insult others or make fabrications to slander others, shall be detained and fined according to provisions and administrative punishments, if such conduct does not constitute a crime.”
“Article 246 of the Criminal Law stipulates that intentionally fabricating and disseminating fictitious facts to the extent of degrading the personality of others and destroying their reputation are serious acts. Those who commit this crime will be sentenced to not more than three years of imprisonment, criminal detention, control, or deprivation of political rights.”
“I heard from Ding Ling that all the class chat groups and parents chat groups have this photo. This already constitutes a criminal offence.”
“Liu Daqiang, you’re probably going to jail!” Li Chengqian’s gaze was cold and stern. Liu Daqiang, who was laughing non-stop and looking smug initially suddenly stopped laughing. He quickly used his phone to search, and then his expression instantly changed.
Beads of perspiration appeared on his forehead at a visible speed.
Because he realized that what Li Chengqian said was all true!
