Qiao Xi’s voice was gentle as she asked indifferently, “Madam Zhou, did you meet anyone on the way to the university? Did someone guide you into doing all this? After all, saying this will firmly pin the crime of being a mistress on me. Zhou Lin’an is just an innocent man who was seduced by a mistress. He didn’t do anything wrong from the beginning until the end, right?

“As long as you say that I’m the third party, you can hide the fact that Zhou Lin’an’s engagement was canceled and protect his reputation. Who came up with such a good plan for you?”

Qiao Xi’s eyes carried a trace of a cold smile as she took two steps forward and asked casually, “Madam Zhou, who did you see before you came to the chancellor’s office?

“If you tell me, I can get Miss Chi to leave the Zhou family with one last shred of dignity. We won’t publicize Zhou Lin’an’s scandal either. Moreover, not to mention Miss Chi, I think Mr. Chi will definitely not let Zhou Lin’an off if he finds out that Zhou Lin’an has an illegitimate child.”

Chi Yuan said firmly, “That’s right. I won’t bicker with your Zhou family for Xi Xi’s sake. From now on, we’ll mind our own business and we won’t owe each other anything. If you don’t cooperate, then let’s give it a try. Zhou Lin’an makes me so angry and disgusted, so I’ll let your Zhou family have a taste of what you deserve. It’ll be too late to regret it then, so tell Xi Xi who told you to do this immediately!”

When Madam Zhou heard this, she subconsciously looked up at Lu Muxue.

Lu Muxue stood at the door, her heart thumping. She hurriedly took a few steps back. Seeing that she was a little fl.u.s.tered, her friend beside her asked curiously, “Muxue, what’s wrong?”

The uneasiness in Lu Muxue’s heart grew stronger and stronger. At this moment, she only wanted to escape. She had just taken a few steps when a cold voice came from behind.

Qiao Xi asked casually, “Miss Lu, where are you going?”

Everyone’s gazes instantly landed on Lu Muxue. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her eyes were filled with horror. Her body was trembling uncontrollably.

She turned around and suppressed the tremble in her voice. “Teacher Qiao, this has nothing to do with me. Don’t accuse others!”

Qiao Xi’s sharp gaze stared at her with a faint smile. “Eldest Miss Lu, I was just asking where you were going. I didn’t say that this matter was related to you. You said it yourself. Don’t tell me you’re guilty?”

Everyone’s eyes were filled with doubt. Qiao Xi had indeed only asked where she was going, but she did not answer. She said that she had nothing to do with this matter. It was obvious that she was guilty. Everyone present also noticed that she was nervous. If she wasn’t guilty, why would she be nervous? Moreover, everyone clearly saw Madam Zhou looking at Lu Muxue just now, so the person who gave Madam Zhou advice was Lu Muxue.

Lu Muxue clenched her fists nervously, and her pupils suddenly constricted. However, she still braced herself and said, “I’m not guilty! Teacher Qiao, don’t malign a good person!”

“Heh!” Qiao Xi sneered. “I maligned you? Who deliberately met Madam Zhou before she went to the chancellor’s office and even said some things to her? Aren’t you well aware of this, Miss Lu?”

Lu Muxue’s face darkened as she said coldly, “Yes! I admit that I happened to meet Madam Zhou today, but it was just a coincidence. The Lu and Zhou families have always been in contact. As a junior, can’t I just chat with the elders I’m familiar with?

“It would be rude of me not to greet her when I saw her in the university. I just did what a junior should do. Teacher Qiao, why do you insist that I did something to harm you?”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “Miss Lu, you also said that the calligraphy compet.i.tion last time had nothing to do with you. It may seem that these things have nothing to do with you, but you’re actually the fuse.”

Only then did everyone remember that after the cheating incident was clarified, Shang Jing kept saying that he was misled by Lu Muxue. After that, Lu Muxue refused to admit it and everyone thought that it was impossible. Lu Muxue had just transferred to the university not long ago, so why did she have to frame Qiao Xi?

Moreover, Shang Jing only said those words without any substantial evidence. No one could prove that Shang Jing was instigated by Lu Muxue to expose Qiao Xi for cheating in public.

Most of the students did not pay attention to this matter. The teachers from the design department also knew very well that on the surface, this matter indeed had nothing to do with Lu Muxue. However, if it were not for her, why would Shang Jing suddenly go to take a look at Qiao Xi’s work?

Lu Muxue insisted that the incident with the calligraphy compet.i.tion had nothing to do with her. This time, she had met Madam Zhou in advance but still refused to admit it.
