Chapter 78: I Have a Witness
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A beam of light shone on Cheng Yi.
Everyone looked at Cheng Yi with ridicule and disgust, but Cheng Yi seemed unaffected. She stood up and said elegantly, “I didn’t buy the votes.” Who would believe that?
If there was no vote-fixing, how could all of this be explained?
As if she had rehearsed it thousands of times, Zhang Man skillfully stood up and spoke up for her. “Xiao Yi is so honest, it’s impossible for her to buy votes.
Someone must have deliberately framed her.”
Xu Bi said, “Oh, that’s interesting. Who would be so stupid as to frame someone by spending money to buy votes to promote her to the position of the school belle?”
“Who else could it be? It must be He…” Zhang Man scoffed.
Silence.
She deliberately did not finish her sentence, but the teachers and students had already understood.
Thinking back to the post about the real and fake heiress, thoughts began to run wild. Perhaps she was really framed?
“Manman, don’t talk nonsense without evidence. However, I really didn’t buy votes. If Xu Bi insists that I used unfair means to compete, I’m willing to withdraw from the school belle election to prove my innocence.” Cheng Yu spoke out at the right time.
Her words were well thought-out and instantly won many over. Immediately, the entire recording room was filled with whispers.
“I suddenly feel that Cheng Yi might have been framed.”
“Cheng Yi is already very outstanding. It’s unfair that no one voted for her because she’s just transferred over. Xu Bi has already been the school belle for a term, and she still wants to start a fight. How graceless.”
“He Jing is so hateful.”
“Why hasn’t He Jing dropped out of school yet? I can’t stand it anymore. What’s so great about having good grades?”
“Brother Xi is still protecting her. Brother Xi is really blind.”
The beam moved from Cheng Yi to He Jing, who was exceedingly calm.
She didn’t even frown. Instead, Shen Qiuyu stood up and shouted angrily,
“Whoever hit the lights, get it off. This has nothing to do with Sister Jing.”
At this moment, Sisi stood up and said shockingly, “This matter has something to do with He Jing. I have evidence.”
Not only Shen Qiuyu, but Xu Bi was also stunned.
Her PowerPoint presentation was not finished yet, and she was actually hesitating if she should continue.
Obviously, everyone’s focus was on He Jing now. They heard Sisi emphasize, “I have a witness.”
In an instant, the pitch-black hall was in an uproar.
Sisi said, “As Cheng Yi’s best friend, I’ve always been very concerned about Cheng Yi’s matters. After noticing the abnormal increase in votes, I had my doubts about it, so I specially investigated. I didn’t expect to discover something extraordinary.”
As she spoke, she picked up her phone and made a call. She said concisely, “Bring him over.”
After hanging up, she looked at everyone and said calmly, “Everyone, please wait patiently for a while. The truth will soon be revealed.”
A boy stood up and said sarcastically, “He Jing, don’t you have anything to say?”
He Jing looked at the boy who spoke – Cheng Yi’s admirer, Sun Chaoyang – and calmly asked, “What do you want me to say?”
Sun Chaoyang said, “To think that you could even think of using the school rules to frame someone. He Jing, you are indeed a genius. However, our Yin High School does not welcome you. Please get out!”
His words were powerful and resounded loudly. Many were incited and shouted, “Get out.”
The teachers saw that the situation was getting out of control and quickly came forward to deal with it, telling everyone to calm down, but no one listened..
