Chapter 174 - 174: Hurry Up and Delete the Recording
“I accepted Lù Yue’an’s gift, and promised to help her and imitate Lu Ning’s handwriting…
Jiang Yi liked to write. Out of curiosity and interest, she would eventually learn to write in the handwriting of many people.
Over time, no matter whose handwriting it was she could imitate it very well. Sometimes, nobody could discern who had actually written it.
She did not mention this explicitly to anyone, but she often practiced calligraphy and her style would change all the time when she wrote. If someone paid attention, then they could tell with a few glances without needing her to elaborate.
In her first year of high school, Lu Ning had already noticed this.
When she realized that the handwriting was the same as hers, Jiang Yi came to her mind first.
She had roughly figured out that Lù Yue’an had teamed up with them and given them some benefits—Jiang Yi would imitate Lu Ning’s handwriting, while the other two girls would quietly swap Lu Ning’s papers out from the office before reporting her.
However, they were not in the same class as Lu Ning, so Lù Yue’an also roped Qian Qian in.
Qian Qian was in charge of framing Lu Ning for cheating; naturally, those chat logs were photoshopped.
Even if Lu Ning had an excuse, they could say that Lu Ning had deleted her
chat history.
Originally, this plan seemed flawless, but Lu Ning did not act according to their plan. Instead, she had grasped that small writing quirk from the test paper and caught them off guard; no one could react to such a change in the situation.
The situation being as it is, they had no chance of turning the tables.
After Jiang Yi finished reading, Qian Qian did not care anymore and also started reading. When the few of them finished reading out what they had written, the basic information matched. Everyone’s eyes fell on Lù Yue’an. “Now, can you delete it?”
Jiang Yi only wanted this to be over.
“Do you guarantee that everything you wrote is true?
With a slight smile, Lu Ning took the papers they had written.
“I’m sorry, we were truly in the wrong. Can you quickly delete the recording?” Qian Qian was also getting antsy.
Lu Ning looked at her and hopped down from the table. Turning around, she walked to Huo Jinyan’s side and took her phone. Then, she turned to look at them.
“Look, it’s deleted.”
Jiang Yi was finally relieved.
“Young Mistress 1.4b, you’ve yet to write it. Are you going to admit it, or not?”
Lù Yue’an glowered at her, as though wanting to stab Lu Ning with her glare, sharp as nails.
“So what if it’s me? Don’t even think that I’ll write such a thing for you!’
Lu Ning looked at her. “I didn’t say you had to write it. Just admit it.”
Lù Yue’an glanced at the phone in her hand. She had just deleted the recording, and the screen on her phone was locked, so she could not start recording again immediately. She heaved a sigh of relief.
Smiling warmly, Lu Ning waved the ‘confessions’ in her hand. “Let’s forget about this for the time being, but I reserve the right to pursue the matter if anything happens. Don’t provoke me again, and these won’t ever appear in front of people-
Jiang Yi wanted to dash out of the door immediately.
“Can I go now?
Lu Ning looked at her and nodded. “Sure. Bye- Have fun in class-
Teacher Lang wanted to deride her, but in the end, he appeared to be afraid of Lu Ning. Without another word, he turned around and left with his students.
After they left, Lin Ci looked at Lu Ning and waved her phone at her. She winked, pressing a button on her phone to stop recording.
Lu Ning smiled at her.
Huo Jinyan silently turned off the recording function on his phone, and placed it in his pocket.
