The incident with Zhong Mengxuan was over, and the people in the Zhong family's main house didn't know what happened. However, they were skeptical about Zhong Mengxuan's sudden illness and bed rest. However, due to the majesty of the old man, they did not dare to inquire at will.

However, Zhong Nianyao felt that Zhong Jinghao should have some vague guesses. Because when Zhong Jinghao looked at her in the past two days, there was always an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

Of course, she didn't care about this, after all, it had little to do with her.

The Zhong family has temporarily restored peace.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and the school's summary meeting came as scheduled.

In the past, many students asked for leave during the school's summary meeting. After all, few people are willing to come back to school for an insignificant conference. The school's requirements in this regard are not strict.

However, a lot of people came to this summary meeting. Compared with before, it is simply a huge difference. The purpose of everyone's visit was obvious, which was to watch the fulfillment of the bet between Zhong Nianyao, Chen Lian'er, and Shen Yixue.

Zhong Nianyao was no different from usual. She was still walking leisurely on the school road without showing any pride, as if it was just an ordinary day.

Many people were a little surprised when they looked at Zhong Nianyao's appearance. But when I think about it, I think it's reasonable. After all, Zhong Nianyao is victorious, so there won't be any psychological burden at all.

The summary meeting came as scheduled, and Chen Lian'er and Shen Yixue also knelt down to Zhong Nianyao in front of everyone, just like their bet.

Such behavior made them extremely embarrassed. However, they did not dare to cheat.

The whole school knew about the bet, and it was also filed with the student union. If they cheat, no one can force them to do it. However, their situation in school will become even more difficult than fulfilling the bet.

After all, if you have no integrity, how can others be willing to trust you and interact with you?

After coming off the stage, Chen Lian'er and Shen Yixue immediately left the conference site. They really had no shame to stay here and accept the ridicule from other people.

Zhong Nianyao, on the other hand, had neither the pride of a winner nor any ridicule towards Chen Lian'er and Shen Yixue. She always had a faint expression on her face, as if this was just a very common thing.

Seeing such a calm and relaxed Zhong Nianyao, everyone in the audience was in a daze for a moment. They even had some doubts as to whether this Zhong Nianyao was the person they knew well. How can a person change so much?

In the past, Zhong Nianyao was a loser who only chased after Li Jingming. No matter how good-looking she was, she was boring. However, now Zhong Nianyao not only won first place in the national calligraphy and painting competition, but was chased by the president of the Painting and Calligraphy Association to accept him as his apprentice, and she also got such good results in this final exam. Now Zhong Nianyao, even just standing there, can attract everyone's attention.

Zhong Nianyao was able to achieve such good results this time, but no one would suspect her of cheating. Because the invigilation system of Tenglong College is so strict that it is almost comparable to the college entrance examination. If Zhong Nianyao can really cheat, it can be regarded as a kind of her strength.

It was extremely different from Zhong Nianyao's current scene. Shen Yixue had already run away, but she still felt as if everyone around her was laughing at her.

Walking on the path in despair, she felt that she was like a rat in the gutter, unable to see the light. She didn't know why she became what she was now, but she knew that the person who caused everything now was Zhong Nianyao.

In the past, Zhong Nianyao was a poor thing who was played by her, but now she is being bitten. Why didn't Zhong Nianyao fall into the water at that time and drown directly? If that were the case, then everything now wouldn't happen.

Thinking of this, Shen Yixue couldn't help but feel filled with hatred.

"Little Snow!"

At this moment, a familiar voice interrupted Shen Yixue's contemplation. She turned around and saw that it was none other than Li Jingming.

Thinking of what happened today, Shen Yixue felt that she was full of grievances. She quickly stepped forward and threw herself into Li Jingming's arms, with a cry in her voice, "Jingming, tell me, what should I do now? After something like this happened, how will I gain a foothold in the academy from now on?"

Li Jingming did not comfort Shen Yixue as usual. He looked at Shen Yixue in his arms with complicated eyes. After hesitating for a moment, the hand still didn't pat Shen Yixue's back.

Shen Yixue, who had been crying, soon realized something was wrong. She took a step back, just in time to see the complicated expression on Li Jingming's face, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

However, even so, the expression on her face still did not change at all. There was a hint of stubbornness in her grievances, and she was crying a little bit when she spoke, "Jing Ming, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at Shen Yixue's appearance, Li Jingming's eyes flashed with pity, but he hesitated to speak. I don't know if it's because I'm thinking about how to speak, or for some other reason.

Shen Yixue felt more and more nervous. She didn't know what happened to Li Jingming. But she could feel that this was definitely not a good thing.

"Xiaoxue, I-" Li Jingming finally spoke, but just as he started speaking, he didn't know what to say. For a moment, he seemed hesitant.

"Jing Ming, what happened?" Shen Yixue put away the grievance on her face and replaced it with concern, "What else can't be said between us?"

Li Jingming looked at Shen Yixue, took a deep breath, and then said, "Xiaoxue, does my mother know about us?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yixue's eyes widened slightly, her pupils shrank, and she felt nervous. She directly reached out and grabbed Li Jingming's hand, "Jingming...you...what do you mean?"

During this period of time, Li Jingming paid for all her tuition and fees, and also provided part of her living expenses. Although she has started to go out to work, the money she earns is not enough to support her expenses. All this was hidden from Chen Sisi.
