Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work
Chapter 347: College Entrance Exam Cheating
The Second Floor of the Inpatient Department at Jing City Hospital. After leaving the Ni Family, Deng Yiyi went straight back to school. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Not finding anyone, she returned here again.
"Zhang Mengdi." Deng Yiyi beckoned with her finger from inside the hospital room, not interested in looking at anyone else.
Zhang Mengdi instinctively felt a little guilty, especially since Zhang Mengtian was also in the room. She quickly walked out and stood next to Deng Yiyi. "Yiyi, why are you here?"
"Tomorrow, you report to the school that Yi Roujing never attended high school and that her junior high grades were mediocre. How could someone like that get into Jing University? Yi Roujing’s husband is a teacher at their County First Middle School. There’s reason to suspect Yi Roujing cheated in the college entrance exam." Deng Yiyi instructed bluntly. "You should report this to the school leaders tomorrow."
"Shouldn’t we tell our counselor?" When Zhang Mengdi heard about this, her first instinct was to reject it.
"From the dorm change incident, you can see your counselor is already biased towards Yi Roujing. After all, her husband is a teacher at Jing University, we should go directly to the leaders." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Zhang Mengdi’s face was full of difficulty, "Yiyi, we don’t have any evidence."
"If there was evidence, would Yi Roujing still want to stay at Jing University?" Deng Yiyi sneered, "Even if this matter doesn’t take her down, it’s good to cause her some trouble."
"I..."
Deng Yiyi immediately took out an envelope and waved it in front of Zhang Mengdi, "Consider this a deposit. If the matter is successful, I’ll give you the other half."
Zhang Mengdi’s eyes lit up instantly, and the words of refusal were swallowed back. She took the envelope and opened it to see ten banknotes. "Yiyi, leave this to me. I’ve long suspected Yi Roujing’s grades. When I heard earlier that she hadn’t even attended high school, I thought it was strange."
"Use this to handle the matter. Make it big." Deng Yiyi took out another banknote for Zhang Mengdi, "Put up some banners, post some big character posters, you know how, right?"
"Of course." Zhang Mengdi readily agreed, thinking that the job didn’t require so much effort and the remaining money was hers to keep.
"Okay, I’m leaving." Having achieved her goal, Deng Yiyi turned and left.
Zhang Mengdi put the envelope directly into her pocket, keeping it close, and put the other banknote aside.
"What’s up?" Before Zhang Mengdi could gather her thoughts, she heard Zhang Mengtian’s voice.
"Nothing, nothing much. I’m heading back now and will come by in a few days." Zhang Mengdi turned to look at Zhang Mengtian, smiled, and then hurriedly ran off.
Zhang Mengtian slightly frowned, watching Zhang Mengdi’s back with a heavy heart. She recognized that expression of Zhang Mengdi’s from before as a prelude to mischief. She couldn’t figure out what was going on.
"Mommy Mili?"
Zhang Mengtian turned around to see a nurse, quickly putting on a smile, "Hello, Nurse."
"This was just dropped off at our nurse’s station. It’s from a friend for Mili to drink." The nurse handed a can of malted milk and a bag of milk powder to Zhang Mengtian.
"Who, who sent it?" Zhang Mengtian was puzzled, as she didn’t have any friends in Jing City.
"They didn’t say, just mentioned it was from a friend of yours. I thought you’d know." The nurse replied, "Anyway, it’s for the child’s nutrition. The doctor said these are beneficial for Mili’s health."
"It wasn’t those two young women who just left, was it?" Zhang Mengtian asked.
"No." The nurse shook her head, "It was a middle-aged woman, seemed quite gentle. She said someone from her family was concerned, and she was just a nanny running an errand."
"A nanny?" Zhang Mengtian became more confused as she listened.
"That family probably has a child too. The child is two years old and can’t bear to see others suffer." The nurse, who had chatted with the woman, explained what she knew.
"Thank you for the trouble." Zhang Mengtian didn’t ask further, thanked the nurse, and went back into the ward.
"Mommy, what’s that?" Mili looked at the things in Zhang Mengtian’s hands with great curiosity.
"Mommy is going to make you some milk to drink." Zhang Mengtian’s expression softened as she used the hot water from the thermos to prepare a bowl of fragrant milk powder for Mili.
"Wow, Mommy, it smells so good. I’ve never smelled anything this nice." Mili sniffed, unable to stop salivating.
When it cooled, Zhang Mengtian fed the milk to Mili.
"It’s so fragrant and so sweet, better than candy." Mili drank several large gulps, raising her head with a milk-white ring around her lips.
"Drink it all." Mili took several more sips. Seeing that half the bowl was left, she stopped. "Mommy, you drink it. We’ll each have half."
"You drink it all. Mommy doesn’t like it. This is meant for children." Zhang Mengtian felt a warmth in her heart, speaking softly.
"Mommy is lying; you drink, or I won’t drink any more."
Zhang Mengtian felt sweet inside, took a small sip, and for the first time in 21 years tasted milk powder. It was indeed sweet and fragrant, and her eyes turned red. "Mommy’s had enough, Mili should finish the rest. When Mili’s healthy, that makes Mommy happier than anything else. This is good for Mili’s body, don’t make Mommy worry."
"Okay." Mili nodded obediently, sipping the remaining milk powder with a smile on her face, her eyes forming cheerful crescents.
"Mommy, who brought this to us?" After finishing, Mili asked.
"It should be the two aunts who visited Mili before," Zhang Mengtian replied. Besides Yi Roujing and Yu Cuiyu, she couldn’t think of anyone else who would send these. Based on their means, it was likely Yi Roujing who arranged for this. Their encouragement and advice had made a resolution in Zhang Mengtian’s heart; she decided to take part in the college entrance exam in a dignified manner.
On April 3rd, Yi Roujing rode the bus to school. Upon entering, she noticed a heightened atmosphere on campus. Many were holding signs, and others were unfurling banners not far from the main gate, all regarding the college entrance exam.
"Now that college entrance exams have resumed, how can cheating be tolerated? It’s unfair to other students."
"Unfair, unfair, please keep Jing University a pure place."
"Those who cheat in college entrance exams should be severely punished."
...
Yi Roujing looked at the emotionally charged slogans and listened to the indignant remarks from the students as they saw the banners. She wondered if the school had discovered students attending under someone else’s name, proxy testers, or genuine cheating cases.
However curious she was, Yi Roujing didn’t delay heading to her classroom. Today was the first anatomy class, and as the class representative, she couldn’t be late.
By the time Yi Roujing arrived, over half the students were already there. Her roommates from room 305 were there too. Ren Xuejuan waved at Yi Roujing, who smiled, walked over, and sat beside Ren Xuejuan.
"Class representative, do you know what we’re covering today?" Wang Ruohua asked with a smile.
"We’re still far from hands-on dissection; we need to finish the theoretical part first." Yi Roujing replied with the experience from her previous life.
