Shocking! The school heartthrob who was adopted by a wealthy family is actually a heiress!

Did you take Chapter 56?
"Zhao Zhao, you're amazing!" Jiang Man massaged Qin Zhao's shoulders. "You're even competing in international competitions!"

"It's not that exaggerated."

“Really! The world record is only 26 points, and you have 28 points!” Jiang Man gestured. “Believe it or not, someone from the sports bureau will be poaching you right away.”

"You don't seem to exercise much, how come you can run so fast?"

"When someone is chasing and beating you, you run fast."

"what?"

"I'm just kidding."

The group of people who had mocked Qin Zhao before going on stage saw that Qin Zhao's eyes were darting around and tried to sneak back to their seats, but Jiang Man caught them red-handed.

She put her hands on her hips and called out by name, "Qi Lixuan, Su Zhiyu, Du Bin, did you see it clearly? If you didn't see it clearly, wait a little longer, the edited cut will be released soon, watch it a few more times."

Qi Lixuan was displeased and said with a cricket, "It's not like you won, what are you so smug about?"

"If my friend wins, I win. If you have a problem with that, then go run and see if you can finish in under 28 minutes and 32 seconds."

Qi Lixuan remained silent.

Perhaps making friends sometimes requires a catalyst. Qin Zhao's victory made others take a second look at her and become more interested in getting to know her and communicating with her.

Many people who had never spoken to her before came to congratulate her or interview her about her experience. Qin Zhao was neither overly enthusiastic nor arrogant, remaining humble and composed.

The general attitude was one of congratulations and pride, except for Ming Weiwei.

She glanced at Fang Tian, ​​whose gaze was fixed on Qin Zhao, and teased, "Didn't you say it was a misunderstanding and that we shouldn't target her? Why are you looking at her like that?"

Fang Tian awkwardly looked away: "I just think she's a pretty nice person, right?"

Ming Weiwei pursed her lips and crossed her arms: "What, you've taken a liking to her?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

"..."

Yinghua has no shortage of money, and the bonus was paid out quickly.

"So five thousand yuan is this much?" Jiang Man was a little surprised. Now that everything is electronic payment, she hasn't seen cash in a long time.

Ming Weiwei: "Transfer student, what are you planning to do with this prize money? Use it as class funds or a party fund?"

As soon as she spoke, all eyes turned to Qin Zhao again.

It seems like there are choices, but in reality, there are no choices at all.

Five thousand yuan is not a shortage of money for anyone, but Ming Weiwei's words were quite subtle.

Jiang Man glanced at Qin Zhao, who remained silent, and said, "What's it to you? How Zhao Zhao uses it is her own business. Stop with this moral blackmail."

"Why are you so agitated?" Ming Weiwei smiled. "Isn't this asking the new classmate? She's been here for so long, has she interacted with any of the other students besides you? I'm giving her a chance to get along with everyone."

"We can't be so stingy as to not even spend five thousand yuan. Xu Fan has been using his prize money as class funds."

"Can two hundred and five thousand be the same?" Jiang said discontentedly. "This five thousand was earned by Zhaozhao through hard work. I'm too embarrassed to spend this kind of class fund."

"Especially those who were sarcastic and cynical before the competition. If the prize money were mine, I'd rather lose it than let them use it." Jiang Man rolled her eyes.

"That's true. Even if I worked my butt off to earn five thousand, I wouldn't be willing to spend it."

"Exactly, what if they want to keep it as a souvenir?"

"Given Qi Lixuan's attitude, I don't want my money to go to someone like that."

"Isn't Ming Weiwei being a bit too saintly with her words..."

Seeing that the wind had shifted, Ming Weiwei's expression changed.

Fang Tian stood up for her best friend: "Paying class fees isn't for Weiwei to spend herself. Didn't her prize money from the previous competition also go towards class fees? People have different ideas. If she doesn't want to pay, she doesn't have to. What's there to argue about?"

Ming Weiwei seized the opportunity to feign weakness: "I just wanted to give Qin Zhao a chance to get along with everyone. If Qin Zhao doesn't want to, then forget I said anything." Jiang Man whispered in Qin Zhao's ear: "Actually, it makes sense. Treating people to a meal always makes a better impression on everyone."

Qin Zhao kept two thousand and handed over three thousand.

She never expected that paying the money would bring her even bigger trouble.

*
Qin Zhao sensed a subtle atmosphere even before entering the classroom. Many people were subtly observing her, making her feel uncomfortable.

She sat down in her seat, but felt as if she were in a courtroom.

Ming Weiwei stood on the podium, looking down at her: "Qin Zhao, did you take the class funds from Tian Tian's locker?"

Fang Tian tugged at her sleeve: "It might not be her."

"Besides you and her, who else could know the locker's combination?" Ming Weiwei's words carried a faint warning. "Besides, we're just asking."

Qin Zhao saw through her trick, looked directly at her, and said in a cold voice, "No."

“This has never happened in our class before. After you came, it started…” Ming Weiwei hesitated, “If it were you, you would just return it. No one would pursue the matter.”

"Do you have a performative personality, or are you just deaf to my voice?" Qin Zhao's eyes were icy. "I told you, you can't hear me."

"Do you know Fang Tian's locker combination?"

Qin Zhao half-closed his eyes and looked at Fang Tian.

Fang Tian bit her lip and remained silent.

"Then do you know?" Qin Zhao looked at her without fear.

Ming Weiwei's eyelids twitched: "So what if I know? I definitely won't take it."

"I won't either."

"It shouldn't be her, right? Didn't she pay the three thousand yuan bonus as class expenses?"

"Isn't it a coincidence that three thousand yuan of class funds just happened to be lost?"

"It can't be that she regretted it after submitting it..."

Ming Weiwei smiled and said, "Don't blame people for overthinking. We're all well and powerful. But you never even order a cup of milk tea, and you don't spend any money other than on meals. It's hard not to be suspicious..."

"Suspect what?" Qin Zhao's expression was icy cold. "Spending less money makes you a thief? Your mouth isn't that authoritative; you can't just open and close it to accuse someone of a crime. Either produce evidence, or shut up."

"The evidence is simple," Ming Weiwei said with a grin, tilting her head slightly. "Look at your backpack and locker."

Her words were blunt and full of malice.

Qin Zhao calmly replied, "Based on your slander and unfounded suspicions, I will prove my innocence. I suspect you have killed someone; can you prove you haven't?"

"Wow, the logic master."

"Look, what's the big deal? If you're innocent, why are you afraid of others searching for you?"

"The main problem is that this whole thing is disgusting, especially if she's innocent."

"The innocent must prove their innocence even more."

"Then let me ask you, even if you searched Qin Zhao's locker and backpack and didn't find any money, wouldn't you suspect that she transferred the money?"

"..."

Ming Weiwei: "Are you that afraid of being inspected by everyone?"

"Who are you representing?" Qin Zhao smiled slightly. "If something is lost, check the surveillance footage, call the police, or talk to the teacher, instead of representing so-called 'everyone' to judge an innocent classmate."
