Ch 23: Wen Xin’s belongings were stolen, and they were found under Wen Li’s table.

After Wen Yan’s allergy and Wen Li’s confrontation with everyone, followed by her safe retreat, the Wen Family enjoyed a few days of peace.

Lin Yun, unwilling to give up, waited for Wen Yan and Wen Li to fight each other.

But Wen Yan, having entered Lu Corporation, was vibrant every day, her clothes and appearance becoming more refined each day, as if she were preparing for a fashion show or a selection of concubines.

She seemed to have no time to deal with Wen Li.

Lin Yun, observing her energy, was genuinely worried that Wen Yan would climb higher and higher, eventually reaching Lu Xixiao.

Although her identity as a fake daughter of a wealthy family would prevent her from entering the Lu Family’s main gate, having a relationship with Lu Xixiao would be enough for her to hold her head high.

Lin Yun felt frustrated,

and Wen Xin, who had her math genius title snatched by Wen Li, felt even more frustrated.

At home and at school, Wen Xin couldn’t avoid Wen Li; she couldn’t escape seeing her, and she hated Wen Li intensely.

After lunch,

Wen Xin was the first to return to the classroom from the cafeteria, and upon reaching her seat, she immediately immersed herself in her studies, ignoring everything else.

“Big genius, don’t try so hard. Talent isn’t something you can achieve through hard work; accept reality,” Tan Shiyin’s greatest pleasure these days was to sarcastically taunt Wen Xin.

Although Tan Shiyin was unhappy with Wen Li’s face, seeing the arrogant and self-important Wen Xin crushed like a shrinking turtle brought her a sense of balance.

Wen Xin ignored her and continued to do her problems.

Tan Shiyin, finding it uninteresting, returned to her own seat.

After finishing a problem, Wen Xin was about to take out her tablet to search for some information online, but when she reached into her drawer, she couldn’t find it.

Soon,

the Class Teacher arrived in the classroom because of Wen Xin’s missing mobile phone and tablet. By this time, almost all the students had returned to class.

“Teacher, we’ve all checked our belongings, only Wen Li’s desk remains unchecked,” a girl who was friendly with Tan Shiyin and also disliked Wen Li raised her hand.

“Before, she always came back pretty early after lunch, but today she seems slower than usual. Could there really be a problem?”

“She’s a young lady from the Wen Family, how could she be missing these things?”

“Exactly, without any evidence, saying this is excessive.”

Tan Shiyin lightly said, “Maybe she just has some little quirks～”

Upon hearing this, Wen Xin immediately looked at Wen Li’s seat. The emotion in her eyes wasn’t anger at Wen Li for stealing her things, but rather a hope that it was Wen Li who stole them, as Tan Shiyin said, that she had some shameful little quirks.

If it was really Wen Li who stole them, she would make it known to the whole school, letting Professor Song, Song Zhixian, and her father know!

The Class Teacher knocked on the lectern: “Quiet, everyone back to your seats. Wen Xin, did you perhaps forget to put them somewhere else?”

Wen Xin came to her senses: “During the last class, Liu Xiaoling saw me put my phone and tablet in my drawer, and they were gone when I came back.”

Her deskmate, Liu Xiaoling, nodded: “I used my own phone to call Wen Xin’s phone and tablet, and both showed they were turned off.”

The Class Teacher’s gaze followed to Wen Li’s empty seat.

Wen Li, who had gone to buy a bottle of water, was slowly walking back to the classroom.

“Wen Li!” She ran into the Chinese Teacher on the way.

The Chinese Teacher was very emotional, as if he had come specifically to stop her.

“Can you give me an explanation? Why didn’t you write the essay on this test again? You’re a science student, but you can’t always do this, can you?”

Wen Li was a little speechless: “I’ve said it before.”

Chinese Teacher: “Too many words? Lazy? Do you think this reason makes sense? Will you write or not write in the Gaokao, I ask you?”

The Chinese Teacher, who wore a white shirt and glasses every day, was thin, with his graying hair neatly combed. He was originally a refined and handsome old man, but now he was breaking down in front of Wen Li.

With the Gaokao approaching,

Grade 3 students were either doing test papers or on their way to do test papers. Wen Li’s test papers, as long as she answered the questions, were all correct, including Chinese.

But she stubbornly refused to write essays. She had at least written two English essays, and he seriously suspected that Wen Li was targeting him.

“If you have any objections to me, you can tell me directly. What’s the point of doing this?”

The Chinese Teacher was relentless, as if he wouldn’t give up until Wen Li gave him a reasonable explanation today.

“Saying you’re lazy? You don’t even put your heart into finding an excuse. If you don’t write in the Gaokao, I’ll really believe you.”

Wen Li casually replied: “Then you’ll see.”

The Chinese Teacher immediately changed his expression: “Whether you’re lazy or have objections to me, you can’t continue to be willful in the Gaokao.”

From demanding an explanation to kindly persuading her, the teacher had become humble. Mainly because he felt Wen Li was really capable of doing it.

As soon as Wen Li appeared, the whole class looked at her, their gazes following her to her seat, lingering for a long time.

What’s going on? Wen Li thought.

“Wen Li, Wen Xin’s phone and tablet are missing. The students have already checked their belongings, and I believe you,” said the Class Teacher.

Wen Li glanced at the two cameras: “Didn’t you check the surveillance?”

“The school respects students very much. The classroom surveillance is only turned on during major exams. You wouldn’t know, would you?” Tan Shiyin’s skeptical tone and manner suggested that Wen Li was pretending not to know.

Hearing this,

Wen Li, who was only a step away from her seat, simply stopped where she was and said, “Should I do it myself, or should someone else?”

Her expression was calm, but her eyes seemed to hold something, strangely vivid, as if she was also waiting to watch a play.

“So calm, is there still a need to check?”

“Who would steal something and hide it in their desk waiting to be searched? So confident? I’m afraid she’s already disposed of the things.”

The girl who was friendly with Tan Shiyin volunteered: “Teacher, let me search.” She had already stood up and started to act.

Although they knew it was unlikely to find anything, the students still stretched their necks.

The girl came to Wen Li’s seat, pulled out the chair, crouched down, and began to search under the desk. After turning over a few test papers, she seemed to see something and immediately reached out to take it.

“Teacher, it’s Wen Xin’s phone and tablet.”

Wen Xin’s phone and tablet both had protective cases, and everyone recognized them.

The classroom was instantly in an uproar.

“She really stole them?”

“Then why did she dare to let them search? And with such a calm face.”

“Have you heard of ‘hiding in plain sight’? She probably thought everyone wouldn’t really search, but she ended up failing.”

“Wow, for these things, it’s not worth it, is it? If she wanted them, I would give them to her. Why would she do something so reckless…?”

“So, is she really so unwelcome in the Wen Family that she needs to steal phones and tablets?”

“I heard Wen Xin say that her father originally arranged for Wen Li to go to No.6 Middle School, but Wen Li went to No.1 Middle School herself.”

“Isn’t this level of neglect comparable to abuse?”

“This is a thousand times worse than killing me, the feeling of eating flies, who understands? What kind of quirk is this, why does she have to steal things! If she wants to steal, fine, but don’t let me know!”

“My filter is shattered!”

Tan Shiyin sneered: “A genius, they also belong to a special group, so it’s reasonable to have some little quirks.”
