The Regent's Little Wife

He secretly wondered: How could she be able to participate in this competition? Could it be... through improper means? In Gu Jingxiu's view, Gu Nian was just a cunning and shameless person. How could Gu Jingxiu expect Gu Nian to participate in the competition?

He never cared about Gu Nian's results, let alone his contempt. However, he concluded that Gu Nian was a thief with bad behavior, and that he would cheat in this competition.

In the arena, the dedication to fairness was as hot as the sun, but in Gu Jingxiu's heart, he was burning with anger at Gu Nian's behavior.

He could not tolerate Gu Nian's despicable act of cheating to tarnish this sacred game.

He murmured in a low voice: "Gu Nian, ah Gu Nian, you can do whatever you want in the outside world, but here, this pure land of pursuit of excellence, will never allow you to taint it with any form of deception!"

Gu Jingxiu was unable to calm down, so he turned to Gao Liang, the person in charge of the competition and a strict teacher who had a zero-tolerance attitude towards cheating.

He said firmly, "Teacher Gao, I must remind you that there is someone you need to pay special attention to. Her character is questionable and she is very likely to choose to cheat."

Gao Liang frowned upon hearing this, and his eyes instantly became sharp. He knew Gu Jingxiu's status and prestige in the family, and he also understood the importance of this competition to every contestant.

He asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?"

Gu Jingxiu pointed his finger at the figure who was writing furiously in the arena—Gu Nian, a "criminal" who, in his words, had stolen the family's precious auction items.

"It's her, Gu Nian. She once stole a priceless item from home, which was sold for tens of millions at an auction." Although Gu Jingxiu's voice was low, it was loud enough for the invigilators around to hear clearly.

Instantly, discussions broke out. Stealing such valuable items was an unimaginable crime. Who could believe that such a person would not cheat? Gu Jingxiu's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

Gao Liang nodded solemnly: "I understand, we will take it seriously."

However, the other contestants on the field were completely unaware of all this. They were immersed in the sea of ​​questions, trying their best to answer each one.

Gu Nian was no exception, and her speed of answering questions was astonishing. But at this moment, Gao Liang's sudden voice broke the silence of the competition venue: "Contestant Gu Nian, please stop answering questions."

This sudden voice was like a thunder, making all the contestants focus their attention on Gu Nian. Shen Ruci frowned and looked at Gu Nian in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

Gu Nian herself felt puzzled. Before she could figure out the situation, she saw five invigilators walking towards her.

An invigilator said seriously: "This candidate, you may be suspected of violating the rules. Please follow us to the stage and cooperate with our review."

Gu Nian hurriedly explained: "I have handed in my cell phone..." But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a teacher.

The teacher quickly took away her test paper and pulled her up from her seat. Then, a rough body search began. The invigilators used testing equipment to scan Gu Nian over and over again.

Gu Nian's anger was completely ignited: "Why do you suspect me of cheating?"

"Don't talk, just cooperate." The invigilator's voice was cold and ruthless. In their opinion, there was no need to be polite to such a "suspect".

This scene shocked everyone present. They whispered to each other and guessed the truth of the matter.

"Did that person really cheat? How did you know?"

"Who knows? The invigilator will definitely not do this for no reason."

"You are so brave, you dare to cheat in such an occasion."

Gu Nian's heart was filled with doubts and humiliation. She finally understood that all this was caused by Gu Jingxiu. He must have said something to the invigilators to make them suspect that she cheated. Thinking of the many unwarranted accusations and trials she had suffered in the Gu family, Gu Nian felt unprecedented anger and humiliation.

She glared at Gu Jingxiu, her eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

Gu Jingxiu, on the other hand, looked down at her with a blank expression and no sense of guilt. He even felt that Gu Nian's anger was because he had caught her.

However, the invigilator who searched him eventually turned to look at Gao Liang and shook his head: "Teacher, no evidence was found."

Gao Liang frowned, obviously surprised by the result: "Are you sure?"

"We searched very carefully and indeed did not find it," the invigilator answered affirmatively.

Although they said they had not found any evidence, their tone revealed their suspicion that Gu Nian had cheated. After all, Gu Nian had a history of stealing precious family items.

Gu Jingxiu also frowned. He didn't expect this result. But even so, the doubts in his heart were not completely dissipated. In his opinion, Gu Nian was a complete liar and thief, and cheating was easy for her.

The search was fruitless and the atmosphere was a little awkward. But for those who are prejudiced, how could they feel embarrassed to judge a person who has been identified as a bad person?

Gao Liang nodded calmly: "Give the test paper back to him."

The invigilator followed instructions and placed the test paper on Gu Nian's desk, adding: "Continue with your test, and don't cheat. We are all watching."

Gu Nian sat down silently, without saying anything more, and continued to concentrate on answering the questions. Everyone watched this farce, secretly happy in their hearts, and then returned to the test paper.

Just an hour later, Gu Nian raised his hand and said, "I have finished the report. Can I hand it in?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Oh my god! It's only been over an hour and someone has already handed in their paper? Someone exclaimed. How many questions can one answer? I may not be able to finish them even in three hours."

"I felt it was too difficult, so I just gave up. It would be so painful to be watched by four or five teachers."

At this time, an invigilator came over and took away his test paper.

Gu Nian wanted to leave, but Gao Liang stopped her: "You can go, but you have to stay and sit on the podium until the competition is over!" Nian looked helpless.

Despite this, she still stepped onto the steps of the podium. Anger and injustice were boiling in his heart, but he knew that this was not the time to resist.

Gu Nian deliberately chose a seat far away from Gu Jingxiu and asked calmly, "Why do you do this?"

Gu Jingxiu responded coldly: "No need for a reason, if you make a mistake you should bear the consequences, right?"

Gu Nian nodded gently, "I understand. Gu Jingxiu, I hope you won't regret it in the future. I have already remembered the humiliation today."

There was indifference in her words. Gu Jingxiu glared at Gu Nian. If he were at home, he would have slapped her, but now he was at the exam site, surrounded by crowds of people and surveillance cameras. He could only endure it silently.

More than an hour later, the candidates submitted their test papers one after another.

Shen Ruci slowly handed in his answer sheet, looked at Gu Nian with heartache, and sighed in his heart: The Gu family is really blind. Gu Jingxiu, you, a doctor, have never realized that the real lucky star is right in front of you. When the truth comes out in the future, you will definitely regret it.

At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the door of the lecture hall was kicked open. A middle-aged man wearing glasses and with an angry face rushed in and shouted: "Gao Liang! You old stubborn man, why do you deduct my students' scores!"

A fierce momentum suddenly pushed the door open, and it was Principal Qin who strode in.
