Chapter 51: They Have to be Expelled!
Xi Yan frowned and stared at Luo Songhua icily. “Why should my students be expelled without rhyme or reason?”
“Why?” Luo Songhua sneered coldly and said sharply, “Because they cheated! Not only should they be expelled, you, as their form teacher, should not be spared either! I want to ask why you, a teacher, would help your students to cheat!”
Rage rose in Xi Yan’s chest immediately. In an icy tone, she said, “What do you mean by that, Ms. Luo? Are you saying that I leaked the questions to Meng Jinyang and Shen Huan?
“What other explanation is there? Shen Huan ranked 300th on last week’s tests. Ms. Xi’s teaching methods must be superb if she can get her student to rank up from the bottom of the cohort to the157th place in five days!” Luo Songhua said viciously. “This would be impossible to achieve unless she cheated.”
“Ms. Xi, this entire bet was only a joke between Ms. Luo and the students. The ultimate goal was to encourage them to study, so you needn’t have to use such underhanded methods to win.”
“That’s right, Ms. Xi. We won’t investigate your involvement in this further, but these students have to be expelled!”
Every teacher attacked Xi Yan one by one.
The Year Head tapped his finger on the results a few times before saying in a low voice, “Ms. Xi, go back and tell Meng Jinyang and Shen Huan that they have been expelled and must leave the school immediately.”
Xi Yan’s eyes flashed coldly and she said resolutely, “I’ll repeat this once more. My students did not cheat! They obtained these results with their own ability so you don’t have the right to expel them!”
The Year Head knitted his brows together and turned his sharp eyes towards Xi Yan. “Xi Yan, you’ve been a teacher for three years now, but you’ve never produced a student who could obtain results like Meng Jinyang did! Other than her Chinese composition, she scored full marks in every other subject! How could this have happened if she had not cheated?!”
When Xi Yan first saw her results, she had also suspected the same thing, but she did not make her final conclusion without careful consideration.
Instead, she personally compared Meng Jinyang and Shen Huan’s papers with the answer key.
She realized that not only did the answers on their papers vary greatly but the way they presented their answers did as well.
When Meng Jinyang answered essay questions, her writing was fluid, exquisite, and outstanding.
As for Shen Huan, her answers were strange and meandering, solving the questions with long, complicated, and tedious steps before ending her work with the correct answer.
Thus, she was confident that her students had relied on their own ability when taking the exam.
Meng Jinyang was Shen Huan’s deskmate. Shen Huan must have learned from Meng Jinyang to improve so much.
The principal had originally wanted Meng Jinyang to enter Class One, but Luo Songhua had rejected her.
Xi Yan took a deep breath and said calmly, “I still stand by my word, Year Head, that they did not cheat!”
“You’re so stubborn!” Luo Songhua narrowed her eyes. “Since Ms. Xi places so much trust in her students that their results can improve by such leaps and bounds in five mere days, how about making them take a test? The papers for this week’s tests have just arrived and are still sealed in their packages. Let them take the tests individually in front of all the Year Three teachers. If they can’t reproduce the results, not only must they be expelled, you must leave the school as well.”
Xi Yan’s voice was solemn and forceful. “Sure, let them take the test.”
