I've seen enough deceit in the marketplace, I simply disdain being targeted by someone like her.

Approaching the mid-term exams, I seized the time to review in the dormitory. Unexpectedly, Li Wanwan saw me studying and exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow, Chuchu, you're actually studying secretly, so diligent!"

"The mid-term exams are coming up, I'm openly studying. Do you have any questions?"

At this moment, my two roommates who couldn't stand others doing well spoke up.

"Chuchu, we know you have good grades, but you studying like this really puts pressure on us!"

"Exactly, have you ever considered others' feelings? So selfish."

I was momentarily speechless in the face of such people.

To avoid "disturbing" my good roommates, I later went to the library quietly to study.

Li Wanwan would sneak back into the dormitory from the back door in the early hours of the morning. Even if I left quietly in the morning, she would scold me harshly.

"You're the study queen, yet you intentionally disturb others' rest, don't you!"

On the day of the mid-term exam, as per the seating chart, I ended up sitting right behind Li Wanwan.

Li Wanwan was fooling around with a few male classmates, surprisingly not being sarcastic towards me.

The next moment, an empty mineral water bottle hit me on the head.

The male classmate came over to apologize, "Sorry Jiang Huai Chu, it was not intentional."

Before I could speak, Li Wanwan grabbed the male classmate's sleeve first.

"Oh, an empty mineral water bottle doesn't hurt, Chuchu, forgive him, after all, he didn't mean it! Besides, with your wealthy background, does he need to compensate you?"

Zhang Liang's ears instantly turned red. I glanced at the smug Li Wanwan and gave her a disdainful look.

Knowing her well, I knew she hated being looked down upon by others.

As expected, Li Wanwan became agitated instantly, "Hmph, pretending to be dead!"

As the exam began, Li Wanwan, who would play outside until the early hours and knew nothing, started whispering with the people around her.

After the teacher's second reminder, she finally quieted down, and I could finally focus on the exam paper.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the exam, Li Wanwan suddenly threw a paper ball at me.

Just as the invigilator passed by, my "cheating behavior" was caught.

"Teacher, this isn't mine!"

The invigilator was one of our subject teachers, and she knew my usual performance. She asked around, "Whose is this?"

Li Wanwan smiled, "Teacher Liu, this belongs to Jiang Huai Chu!"

"How do you know?"

"After all, we share a dormitory. Jiang Huai Chu can't hide these cheat sheets from us. Teacher, you can ask Lin Rui and Zhang Xiao if you don't believe me!"

Teacher Liu looked at the two of them, and they, looking confused at first, nodded after a while.

I chuckled.

I thought they were just jealous of the wealthy, but I didn't expect them to be so cruel!

The class gradually became restless, after all, cheating at A University was the most shameful act.

"Teacher, the surveillance in this classroom broke down half a week ago. Now, with no evidence, if it's considered cheating, what about Jiang Huai Chu's grades..."

Li Wanwan looked at me maliciously, her eyes full of satisfaction.

Teacher Liu sighed, "Then we'll have to invalidate it."

In this world, even though the innocent are clear, they always forget the fear of public opinion.

Just as I was panicking internally, I suddenly remembered passing by here yesterday on my way to the library, and the maintenance staff said the surveillance had been fixed.

"Teacher Liu! The surveillance in this classroom was fixed yesterday!"

Li Wanwan's face changed instantly, "How is that possible?"

I caught her panic, "Why is it impossible? Li Wanwan, why are you so flustered? Could it be that this paper ball is yours?"

There was a commotion around.

"Calm down, students. I will go retrieve the surveillance footage later. I will give everyone a resolution on this matter."

Li Wanwan looked very unpleasant.

The next day, the counselor severely criticized Li Wanwan, Lin Rui, and Zhang Xiao in the large group chat and canceled the mid-term exam results of the three.

It was truly satisfying.

That night, when I returned to the dormitory, I saw Lin Rui crying, with Zhang Xiao and Li Wanwan comforting her. When they saw me return, the three of them had very unpleasant expressions.

Li Wanwan rolled her eyes at me.

"Jiang Huai Chu, it's all your fault. Now the mid-term results of the three of us have been canceled because of you. Are you happy now!"

"We know your family is well-off, but there are always people whose families are not well off! Rui Rui's dad is not well, waiting for the scholarship to help the family, now all the efforts of half a semester have been in vain because of you!"

After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, Lin Rui also looked at me pitifully.

"Chuchu, I know you're a good person. The counselor said as long as you forgive us, our grades won't be canceled. You will understand, right?"

They were really putting me on the spot.

I smiled kindly at them, "Of course not, this is all your own doing."
