Being tortured by her whole family, she no longer pretends to be a real daughter!

Lin Ruoyao looked at the shocked and angry Zhang Junsheng, took a step back timidly, and looked at him with extremely innocent eyes, "Master, why are you slandering me? I have never seen this calligraphy before..."

Her voice was weak and she looked frightened.

It made Zhang Junsheng look like an unreasonable, hysterical madman.

Zhang Jun was furious. "You're lying! You're lying! You stole this calligraphy!"

Lin Ruoyao looked even more innocent. "Why would I steal Lin Yusheng's calligraphy? To carve my seal on it and claim that the calligraphy is mine? But, it doesn't seem like there's my seal on it. It's clearly your seal..."

Lin Ruoyao's words were surprisingly well-reasoned and even made the people in the audience laugh.

"Hahaha! Is Lin Ruoyao sure she's not in yin and yang? Why does it sound a little funny?"

"It's true that the calligraphy is stamped with Zhang Junsheng's seal. On the contrary, Lin Ruoyao doesn't seem to have any motive. She couldn't have stolen the calligraphy just to give it to Zhang Junsheng."

"..."

"Zhang Junsheng, you said that this calligraphy was given to you by Lin Ruoyao. Do you have any evidence?" Zhao Mengqing asked.

Zhang Junsheng was stunned.

After a while, he opened his lips with difficulty and said, "No...no."

"Zhang Junsheng!" Zhao Mengqing was truly furious this time. He pointed at Zhang Junsheng and said, "It's fine if you stole the calligraphy, but now you're using your apprentice as a shield! Not only are you unworthy of being a calligrapher, you're unworthy of being a teacher!"

"Following an irresponsible master like you is really unlucky!"

Zhao Mengqing didn't quite believe what Zhang Junsheng said from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Junsheng's seal is clearly stamped on the words, but it looks more like they were stolen by Zhang Junsheng. Besides, if he can claim other people's works as his own, what else can't he do?

"No, I really didn't steal it!" Zhang Junsheng's face turned red with anxiety. He tried his best to defend himself, "It really wasn't me, it wasn't me..."

"Shut up!" Zhao Mengqing's chest heaved violently. He could no longer endure it. "If you don't want to be further embarrassed, get out of here! Don't be an eyesore here!"

He has lost all his patience with Zhang Junsheng.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoyao felt a little relieved.

She pursed her lips and said, "President Zhao, can I go down now?"

"Well, go ahead." Zhao Mengqing nodded.

Lin Ruoyao raised her foot to leave.

At this moment, a familiar and cold female voice came from behind:

"Wait a minute."

Lin Ruoyao paused and turned around to meet Lin Yusheng's gaze.

"Anything else?"

Lin Yusheng didn't reply, but turned to look at Zhao Mengqing. "President Zhao, I don't think Zhang Junsheng is lying. Since it was my work that was stolen, I still hope to investigate this matter and find out who is playing a trick on me."

"So, I'd like to ask Mr. Feng Peide, who is in charge of collecting the works this time, because my calligraphy passed through his hands before it was submitted to the competition team. It's not impossible that someone else tampered with it during this period."

Lin Yusheng proposed it, and Zhao Mengqing readily agreed.

"Where's Feng Peide?" He glanced at the audience and quickly spotted Feng Pei sitting in the front row. "Please come up."

"Yes."

Feng Peide stood up and went up.

"Feng Peide, what did you do with the calligraphy after Lin Yusheng gave it to you? Did you keep it well?" Zhao Mengqing asked.

"This..." Feng Peide thought for a moment, "I haven't even looked at the students' work after they handed it in. I've just put it in my office drawer. Besides, there's no surveillance in my office..."

He looked a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, President, I really don't know who stole Lin Yusheng's calligraphy."

"Forget it, I get it."

Zhao Mengqing waved his hand and let Feng Peide go.

Lin Yusheng looked at Feng Peide's figure, his eyes slightly darkening.

Knowing that it was Lin Ruoyao who did it, is it really impossible to produce evidence?

With such a good opportunity, she didn't want to let Lin Ruoyao go at all.

If she had known that Lin Ruoyao would do this, she could have taken advantage of the situation and exposed Lin Ruoyao's true identity. However, she did not participate in the calligraphy competition in her previous life, so she could not predict the plot in advance, so she did not expect this.

Just when she was about to feel sorry for missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she saw a figure walking towards her from the audience.

It’s Lu Zhiyin.

Lin Yusheng looked at her in confusion.

The others also noticed Lu Zhiyin's actions.

"Isn't that Lu Zhiyin?"

"What does she want to do?"

"..."

Lu Zhiyin walked up to the stage slowly, looked at Zhao Mengqing, and spoke lazily:

"You want evidence that Lin Ruoyao stole the calligraphy, right?"

"What a coincidence! I have some here."

Lin Ruoyao was stunned.

The others present were also stunned.

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Lu Zhiyin smiled, seemingly finding it quite amusing. Her gaze dimly fell on Lin Ruoyao, "You bumped into me at the stairs that day."

Lin Ruoyao immediately thought of the day she stole Lin Yusheng's calligraphy from Feng Peide's office, and suddenly felt a little guilty. "What do you mean?"

Lu Zhiyin sneered, "You were sneaking around like a thief that day, so I kept an eye on you."

Lin Ruoyao's face turned pale.

Lu Zhiyin took out his phone, switched to the photo album, and continued, "I also took a picture of you entering Teacher Feng's office."

She waved her phone in front of Lin Ruoyao, half-smiling, "How is it? That sneaky, hunched over in the photo, is it you?"

When Lin Ruoyao bumped into her that day, she felt that there was something hidden in the school uniform that Lin Ruoyao was holding to her chest, but she couldn't think of what it was at that time.

Later, when she returned to the classroom, she saw Lin Ruoyao stuffing something into her schoolbag.

But soon, Lin Ruoyao left the classroom stealthily again.

She followed and secretly saw Lin Ruoyao enter Teacher Feng's office. She didn't dare to follow too closely and only captured the scene of Lin Ruoyao entering the office.

Originally, she thought that Lin Ruoyao had stolen something from Teacher Feng, so she kept the photo on purpose, thinking that it might be useful. However, several days passed and no news came, so she didn't take it to heart.

Until today, until she found out that Lin Yusheng's entry had been replaced.

Everything clicked.

She finally understood what Lin Ruoyao had stolen and what she had done that day.

Lin Ruoyao stared at the photo in a daze, her mind was blank and her ears were buzzing.

Feng Peide, who was standing by, finally remembered.

"Lin Ruoyao came to see me that day! Then I received a call from the principal and left."

He quickly took out his cell phone to look at the call records for that day.

The time showed nine twenty-three.

"I received a call at 9:23 and left the office. Lin Ruoyao was the only one left in my office..."

"What a coincidence! The time I took this photo showed it was 9:31 on that day," Lu Zhiyin said.

It took no more than eight minutes.

Feng Peide was not in the office during that period.

Everything fits.
