"Mrs. Zhou, it seems the situation is like this..."

The principal spoke respectfully, explaining the situation once more, and finally emphasized with utmost certainty that they believed Zhou Chengchen definitely did not cheat, but might have been careless in some way. However, the school system has rules, and teachers and the school need to establish authority in the students’ hearts, so they still hope she can understand their approach.

Qi Cheng’s gaze calmly swept over the crowd, continuing to maintain her unusual dignified and poised demeanor, with a slight smile: "No one understands my daughter’s temperament better than me as her mother. I trust Cheng Chen; if she says she didn’t cheat, then she definitely didn’t."

"Yes, yes, we believe that too. It must be some sort of misunderstanding."

The principal repeatedly tried to smooth things over; everyone present was aware of Zhou Chengchen’s background and naturally wouldn’t dare to offend her. In fact, Zhou Real Estate was the one investing in the new school building for City No.1 Middle School.

Only the head of the grade, who had been so angry with Zhou Chengchen earlier, secretly rolled her eyes.

Clearly, she did not agree with Qi Cheng’s words at all.

She just felt Qi Cheng had no limits when it came to protecting her own daughter.

Most people didn’t notice her little gesture, but Qi Cheng caught it clearly and immediately spoke up: "What? Does this teacher not believe?"

The head of the grade was stunned, her expression immediately changed, pulling out an awkward smile: "No, no, Mrs. Zhou, you’re joking."

Qi Cheng smiled as well: "Cheng Chen had the vocabulary a college English major should master by age five, in addition to that, languages like French, German, and Spanish don’t pose a challenge for her either. Does this teacher think she needs to cheat?"

Cold sweat broke out on the head of the grade’s forehead; she had just subconsciously rolled her eyes, not expecting to be caught, and now she didn’t even dare to take a breath.

Fortunately, Qi Cheng didn’t continue to fixate on her but turned to the principal: "Mr. Principal, I hope to talk to my daughter alone."

"Of course, of course."

Though this was the principal’s office, now everyone, including the principal and all school leaders and teachers, had left.

The office was left with only Qi Cheng and Zhou Chengchen.

Qi Cheng reached out and gently poked Zhou Chengchen’s forehead: "You, making trouble for me to clean up again. My drama isn’t even finished."

Zhou Chengchen: "..."

Is this how a mother should be? She’s called in by the school and still thinking about her soap opera.

"Mrs. Zhou, when did I master the vocabulary a college English major should have? And when did I learn French, German, and Spanish?"

"Oh, I just made it up earlier."

Zhou Chengchen: "..."

Zhou Chengchen’s mood was extremely poor before, but upon hearing her mother speak so earnestly about such absurd nonsense, she nearly laughed out loud; now her lips twitch uncontrollably.

Qi Cheng stopped joking and asked directly: "What happened?"

Zhou Chengchen waved her hand: "I don’t know. Someone put something in my pencil case, and I really didn’t notice."

"Didn’t you notice when you were taking a pen?"

Zhou Chengchen shook her head; she was only focused on the test paper at the time. Who would pay attention to those details?

"Who touched your things?"

With that question, Zhou Chengchen froze. She had been so upset earlier that she hadn’t thought about these things, but upon hearing it now, her thoughts became clear like lightning.

She had been carrying her own things. If she had to say, it was only when she went to the restroom before the test.
