  Upon hearing Xu Nuan's words, Xingren's face turned crimson. She glared at her and frowned. 

  How can she still smile? Even after being talked about and stared at disgustingly, how can she still smile in front of her like this? She wondered. 

  The students who were waiting for the class to start heard Xu Nuan's response to Xingren and couldn't help but feel sickened by her arrogant behavior. 

  Xingren's family did so much for her and this is how she repays them? Shameless!!

  [Ah, did you hear what she said? So rude!]

  [Tsk. She is more shameless than I had imagined. How can she still come to college after happening so many things? I can never be so courageous.]

  [ Xingren was being nice to her and rather than being thankful to her, she humiliated her. Xingren shouldn't have given her attention in the first place. She doesn't deserve that.]

  [ I think that post was right. Did you see how arrogantly she answered Xingren? Xingren is so pitiful.]

  The low whispers were loud enough for them to hear and this made Xingren's eyes lit up. She held onto Xu Nuan's arm and leaned closer to whisper in her ear, " Did you see? Everyone thinks you're disgusting. Disgusting."

  " Isn't it better to just drop out from college rather than going through all of this? If I were you, I would be too ashamed to go to college after all of that happened."

  Seeing Xingren's attitude, Xu Nuan let out a low laugh in amusement. Before Xingren could stand properly, Xingren held onto her arm and pulled her towards her. 

  Because of this, Xingren almost lost her footing but managed to prevent an embarrassing fall.  "What are you-

  This time, Xu Nuan leaned closer and whispered, " But you're not me. You have no idea how shameless and evil I can be. The things that I can do……you can never even think of that." she said and patted her arm gently before leaving confused Xingren standing there all alone and went to take her seat. 

  Xingren glanced at Xu Nuan, who already took her seat and was unbothered. 

  "……" 

  Since when did she change so much?  -

  Xingren was sitting at the study table and had her laptop in front of her. She was drinking fresh fruit juice that Grandmother Gu made especially for her and was refreshing the college forum page continuously. 

  She had early dinner today as she doesn't want to miss the statement that Mr. Wen is going to upload on the forum. 

  She glanced at the time and realized that it's almost time. In college, everyone discussed it and now she was sure that he was going to kick Xu Nuan out of the college. 

  There can be no other solution to this problem than this. 

  Finally!! Things will now go her way. 

  " I can't wait to see Xu Nuan out of this college. When is he going to make the announcement?" she tapped her fingers on the table impatiently. 

  " Oh, it's here." Her eyes lit up when a new post was updated. It was by the Dean of Xin Liu, Mr. Wen himself. 

  She clicked on the post and when it opened, a frown appeared on her face. There was nothing written in the post. Instead, there was only a video with the title - WHAT IS THE TRUTH OF XIN LIU'S TOPPER?

  " What is this? A video?" Rather than Xu Nuan's rustication notice, it was a video. Only a single video with nothing written underneath. 

  What is he doing? Did he upload it by mistake? She wondered as she tried to find anything else on the post but there was nothing but a video. 

  " Is he joking? We waited for a long time and he posted this? Does he even know how to use the forum correctly?" she frowned before clicking on the video. 

  " It better not be any spam or promotional video, otherwise I will-

  However, her words got stuck in her throat when the video played.  -

  In the video, Xu Nuan was sitting on a chair while a panel of teachers was sitting on the opposite of hers. 

  The teachers had a long table in front of them that was covered with a white cloth. The teachers that were sitting there were the head of the departments and experienced professors of Xin Liu. 

  The whole formal setting seemed like an interview. But what kind of interview?

  The oldest and the most experienced Professor, who was sitting in the middle said, " Ms. Xu, I hope you know why we have called you here. Xin Liu has some rules that cannot be broken for any student."

  " While checking your answer sheet for the scholarship exam, we found something strange with your answers." He said seriously. 

  The atmosphere in the video seemed to be suffocating as all the professors were wearing grave expressions. 

  However, Xu Nuan was unfazed by their expressions and asked calmly, " What is it, sir? As long as I remember, I didn't write anything wrong."

  The teacher exchanged glances and the other professor adjusted his glasses before saying, " Seems like you're quite confident. Yes. All the answers were correct."

  "And some answers that have been marked negatively, it was so because you answered them out of the space given for the marking. But the answers were still correct."

  " Ermm……Is that……something wrong? Wasn't I supposed to mark the correct answers?" Xu Nuan asked in confusion. 

  The teacher cleared his throat and said, " You are. But it's not normal for a student to answer all the questions correctly. Moreover, you haven't gone through any entrance exam and your high school mark sheets don't show outstanding performance, which is contrary to your current results."

  " That's why we want to reevaluate your aptitude. I hope you don't take it the wrong way."   

  Xu Nuan shook her head and said, " It's absolutely fine sir. You can ask anything you want."

  The head Professor, who was sitting in the middle, was impressed with Xu Nuan's casual yet polite attitude. He nodded and said, "You can consider this reevaluation as a simple conversation. Don't need to be nervous." 

  After this, the teachers started to ask questions one by one.  Most of the questions were from the question paper of the scholarship exam. 

  The questions in the exam were multiple-choice questions but here she was asked to give reasons for her answers which made this reevaluation more difficult than before. 

  However, Xu Nuan answered all the questions clearly and calmly. She even answered those questions that were not in the exam and still managed to impress everyone with her responses. 

  The teachers were awed by this young lady's broad knowledge and capability. Her answers were not from the textbooks but rather practical and fit to be applied in the real business world. 

  The head Professor looked at her with smiling eyes and asked, " Ms. Xu, I have to say, Xin Liu is lucky to have you as its student. I hope you're not upset with us for questioning you like this separately." 

  Xu Nuan also chuckled and shook her head, " Not at all sir. You have all the authority to question me if you felt anything was amiss."  -

  When the video ended, Xingren was lost in a daze. Her complexion turned pale and she couldn't help but stare at the screen in disbelief. It can't be true.

  This……This….How can that be possible?

  " Wasn't Mr. Wen going to rusticate Xu Nuan? Then this video….?" she covered her mouth with her palm as she couldn't believe what she just saw. 

  Wasn't Xu Nuan stupid? How can someone who used to be dumb at studies get 1st rank and not only that, she answered all the answers correctly in the interview too?

  Is this a fixed set-up to fool the students? Yes. That's possible. 

  She took a deep breath and scrolled down to see the comments. " I am sure no one is going to believe this stupid video. It's fake, Hah, it's so obvious." 

  Her heart was racing uncontrollably as she was trying to convince herself that this video was fake but deep inside she also knew that it can't be fake. 

  Her eyes quivered upon reading the comments on the video. 

  [ Holy shit! So it was true? She didn't cheat in the exam but cleared it on her own?]

  [ Did the Professor say that she answered all the answers correctly? What is she? A monster? How can there be no incorrect answer?]

  [ The other post, didn't it say that she left the examination hall early? Yet she managed to answer all the questions correctly. It's crazy.]

  [ Oh My God!! That's crazy. If she passed the exam on her own, then what about the other post? It was all rumors?] 

  [ I can't believe that she was bashed online for no reason. She wasn't even at fault yet she had to go through all of that. Poor her]

  [ So people got suspicious of her based on an anonymous post, that too with no proof? Poor girl. It must be difficult to see everyone being suspicious of her when she didn't do anything wrong.]

  [ In the end, she didn't cheat in the exam. But how can someone be so shameless? They posted her private life online to discuss with everyone. It's so cheap.]

  [ Why is no one questioning who made that post? I am sure it must be someone close to her, otherwise, how can they get her high-school report card and all the private information?]

  [ Did you guys see the date on the bottom of the video? It means this video has been taken before the results were released. All the professors have already investigated her results and she was given a clean chit. Yet all of that happened.]

  [ Holy Holy Shitt!! Guys, go and check out the newly updated post. The person who has claimed to reveal the truth behind the cheating post has updated another post. Go and check it now. It's crazy!! Shit, Shit!!]

  Xingren's hands trembled upon reading the comment. The truth behind the post? What……can be the truth?
