The Days of Being in a Fake Marriage with the CEO

Chapter 171: Who Has Framed Her (3)

After class, the news of Mu Huan cheating and being given a major demerit for it was quickly spread throughout the entire campus.

Everyone expressed their disbelief that this year’s top scholar would actually cheat!

When Gu Chenyi heard about it, he furrowed his eyebrows and believed there was definitely a problem. He did not dare to guarantee anything else about Mu Huan, but when it came to studying, she definitely did it well. Even his unexpectedly high marks this year had been because of her!

Therefore, she would definitely not copy someone’s test paper! If there was any cheating, it should be someone copying hers instead!

This was definitely a set-up!

Even though Mu Huan had broken his heart, he could not bring himself to watch her be framed and not do anything.

Therefore, when he heard the news, he immediately went to the pharmaceutical faculty.

But he did not find Mu Huan directly. Instead, he went to Lin Qingya first to understand the situation.

Seeing how he still cared for Mu Huan so much, Lin Qingya was secretly gritting her teeth in hatred while keeping a worried expression on her face. “It was definitely not Xiao Huan who copied Student Li’s test. Xiao Huan’s grades are so good, it could only be others copying hers. But in that kind of situation, Student Li couldn’t have copied Xiao Huan’s paper at all either. I have no idea how this could have happened!”

“I heard from some students that Professor Wang was unhappy that the record for the entrance test score was broken by Xiao Huan. Could it be that he is in cahoots with that student named Li to frame Xiao Huan?” Adding on to the fact that he absolutely believed in Mu Huan’s results, Gu Chenyi was also not a foolish person. In a situation where it couldn’t be Mu Huan who cheated and Student Li couldn’t have been able to copy her paper during the exam, it could only mean that the problem occurred after the papers had been handed in.

“Professor Wang might indeed find Xiao Huan unpleasant to the eye. However, it is impossible that he would bet on his life’s worth of reputation to frame Xiao Huan over something like that!”

Gu Chenyi thought so as well. If the truth to the situation was exposed, Professor Wang’s teaching career would come to an end and his entire reputation would be finished. For a professor as arrogant as Professor Wang, this was completely unacceptable. Therefore, no matter how unhappy he was with Xiao Huan, he would not take such a huge risk to frame her!

“What about that student named Li?”

“He has never spoken to Xiao Huan before. He is from overseas, so there’s no way Xiao Huan could have offended him in the past.”

Gu Chenyi furrowed his eyebrows. It seemed like neither of them had the motive. Why would they frame Xiao Huan, then?

Setting her up would not bring either of them any benefits!

No motive, no benefits.

This uncontrollably swayed Gu Chenyi, who had earlier believed firmly that Mu Huan would never copy someone else’s test paper. He thought about how, perhaps after marrying his uncle, Mu Huan had been seeking pleasure all day and all night and did not have any time to study. Thereafter, hoping to protect her reputation of being a student with great grades, she copied the paper of the student sitting in front of her due to a moment of foolishness.

Lin Qingya knew that Gu Chenyi would definitely be swayed by what she had said. After all, it was a common occurrence for someone who studied well in the past to cheat because they failed to revise their work properly. Therefore, she did not say that Mu Huan might have done it due to a moment of foolishness. Instead, she continued to stand by her assertion. “No matter what, I believe in Xiao Huan! She will definitely not copy someone else’s test paper!”

Her firm belief made Gu Chenyi a little perplexed. He couldn’t help but suspect and be swayed by the possibility that Mu Huan might have done something like this due to a moment of foolishness, yet Lin Qingya still believed in Mu Huan without a doubt. How could her feelings for Xiao Huan not be genuine?

Lin Qingya grabbed Gu Chenyi’s arm and said with worry, “Chenyi, let’s go find Xiao Huan. Xiao Huan always hated to be wronged ever since she was young, especially when it comes to her studies that she cares a lot about. Now that she is being accused of something like this, she is definitely hurt and upset!”
