Everyone stared in disbelief at the pieces of shredded paper lying on the table.

Apart from the tissue paper, there were so many pieces of shredded paper in the tissue box...

Yun Hua looked through the pile of shredded paper. Thankfully, the papers weren't ripped into fine pieces. There were both large and small pieces in the pile of shredded paper. Yun Hua finally found a piece of paper that stated the name the exam papers belonged to... Yun Hua!

"Teacher Xiao, you had an affair with my father when my mother was pregnant with me. Xiao Ru Yue is only a few months younger than me!" Yun Hua's voice was calm as she continued, "Why didn't make my father divorce my mother sooner? Oh right, it's because my father had just started a business at that time, so he didn't have any money. The money he used to start up his business was earned by my mother. She raised pigs and chickens, even working part-time to earn that money. If they had divorced at that time, then my father would never have gotten the money to start his business."

Although Yun Hua's voice remained calm, the surrounding teachers were all stunned by Yun Hua's story.

What? What was happening?

Teacher Xiao and... Yun Hua's father had an affair? Then isn't Xiao Ru Yue actually Yun Hua's half-sister?

My God! Didn't Teacher Xiao tell them that she and her ex-husband had divorced, so she was raising Xiao Ruyue on her own?

T-This meant that Teacher Xiao was a mistress and her daughter was an illegitimate child...

Xiao Qiu Ci had an ugly, twisted expression on her face. She was usually gentle, graceful, tender, and easy-going, but now, the blue veins on her hands were bulging as she clenched her trench coat tightly. Her current appearance was rather malevolent.

Yun Hua's eyes were filled with accusations as she looked at Xiao Qiuci, "Auntie Xiao, if you truly loved my father, why didn't make my father divorce my mother early on? You loved my father for over ten years, yet you continued to remain silent. You even became my mother's best friend... Teacher Xiao, were you fine staying as a mistress as you hide behind my parent's marriage? Or is it because you've stayed in the dark for so long that you're scared of stepping forward and owning up to what you did?"

She was a mistress and had an illegitimate child with a married man. She even stayed as the victim's best friend for over 10 years...

My god, that was both terrifying and disgusting!

The teachers that had just praised Teacher Xiao for her talent a second ago, all simultaneously stepped back.

Especially Xiao Gui Hua who was now looking at Xiao Qiu Ci with a disgusted expression, "Teacher Xiao, it must've been hard on you to remain a mistress for over ten years! My god, that is disgusting! If my husband had a mistress for over ten years and if that mistress pretended to be my best friend.... No, I can't even imagine it! I can't help but vomit at the thought it!"

"She's right! I would never have guessed. Teacher Xiao is such a beautiful and graceful woman, how could she stoop so low...."

"How can you not know? How can a woman blossom so beautifully without a man's care and affection? We had all neglected this point when we look at how radiant and happy Teacher Xiao appeared every day. Teacher Xiao probably bathes in men's affection and love, that's why she's always so brilliant and happy!"

...

People in society will not react differently just because of other people's status and identity. Teachers are also ordinary people, so they too will gossip and become jealous.

Just before this, the teachers were praising and admiring Teacher Xiao for having her articles published in respectable magazines. They even praised her for being humble. However, all of their respect and admiration had turned into disgust in an instant.

There would eventually be many people who find it more shameful to be poor than to be a prostitute. However, the morals in mainstream society made people despise mistresses and illegitimate children!

In addition, Xiao Qiuci had always been graceful and beautiful. She always gave off the impression that she was better off than other people. It was inevitable for other teachers to be jealous. Now that they learned that Xiao Qiu Ci was an experienced mistress with an illegitimate child, the teachers that usually felt inferior to her, suddenly felt a sense of superiority right now!

Even though they live an average life and are not as beautiful as she was, at least, they were not mistresses. At least, their child was not an illegitimate child!

"Auntie Xiao, my father has divorced my mother. I've even given up my dad to Xiao Ru Yue. What else do you want from me? Ru Yue has already entered Class 1. Even if you don't want me to be in Class 1, you didn't have to rip up three of my exam papers, making me rank second to last in the whole school!"

So, it was like this!

Everyone finally understood!

Everything made sense now.

Otherwise, why would a teacher rip up a student's exam papers for no reason?

All the teachers in the room, including vice principal Hao Xue Wen and the grade director, Wu Lian, looked at Xiao Qiu Ci with a rather complicated gaze.

Xiao Qiu Ci was considered to be a goddess in school ever since she joined this school, yet she would do such a malicious thing!

She became a mistress and gave birth to an illegitimate daughter. She robbed her best friend of her husband and stole Yun Hua's father. She even tried to destroy Yun Hua's future by tearing her exam papers into pieces! Not only did she prevent Yun Hua from entering Class 1, she ruthlessly sent her to the exiled Class 15...

Oh my god, she was vicious!

Sure enough, the more beautiful a woman was, the more vicious and cruel she would be!

It was impossible for Xiao Qiu Ci to refute these claims. Her face turned from green to white. She really didn't expect that Yun Hua would actually reveal the truth to the public!

Was this damned girl not afraid of other people gossiping behind her back and bullying her for not having a father?

Didn't she know that many children are excluded by their classmates because their parents had divorced?

Xiao Qiu Ci could no longer remain graceful and composed. The expression on her face was extremely unsightly.

Everyone looked at each other, but none of them knew what to do right now.

In the end, Yun Hua stepped forward and looked at Xiao Qiu Ci and said, "Teacher Xiao, you stole my dad, but I've already accepted that. You married my father and now Xiao Ru Yue has a father. The three of you are now a complete and happy family. Why are you still targeting me? What, I can't go to Class 1 because Ru Yue is in there?"

"That's right, she's way too vicious. If she had only ripped two exam papers, then she wouldn't have entered Class 15. Class 15 is full of trash students! If you end up there, then your future is done for!" Another teacher said.

Everyone nodded their heads secretly in their hearts. That's true!

Her daughter already went to Class 1, yet she forced her husband's original daughter to go to Class 15. She really was ruthless!

"Teacher Xiao, I don't want to argue with you. I only have one request." Yun Hua looked at Vice Principal Hao Xuewen and the Grade Director Wu Lian and continued, "Our school's reputation is very important. I don't want to bring shame to our school's reputation. My only goal is to receive my complete exam papers back and for you to help me restore my grades and ranking!"

"Vice Principal Hao and Grade Director Wu, I'm not asking for too much, right?"

Hao Xue Wen and Wu Lian glanced at each other speechlessly.

"Student Yun, your test papers are already ripped to shreds," Hao Xuewen couldn't help but reply.

"It can be glued back together." Yun Hua smiled, "Teacher Xiao can glue back my exam papers since she was the one who ripped it. Rest assured, I'm not picky about the looks of the paper. Can't the school even fulfill this small request of mine?"

"Bang!"

The office door was suddenly pushed open.

A group of students led by Han Fang Zhou stood outside the office door. Vice Principal Hao and the rest of the teachers started becoming nervous about the sudden turn of events.

"The person who ripped her exam papers up should glue it back together!"

"She's not worthy to be a teacher!"

"Yes, let her piece the exam papers back together. What kind of teacher would bully a student and destroy her future?"

"We protest against this kind of teacher!"

"That's right, we all protest against this kind of teacher! If the school doesn't deal with this matter fairly, then we'll report this to the Bureau of Education!"

"Yes! We will go to the Bureau of Education together and ask them if we're allowed to have a teacher who would harm her students like this!"

...

Yun Hua was speechless when she saw all the students from Class 15 suddenly showing up when she did not even ask them to!

Her eyes felt a little wet and her throat tightened.

Never before had so many people tried to protect her. She had always been fighting alone...

...

Vice Principal Hao and Grade Director Wu immediately got a headache!

The... The students from Class 15 were all slags. But they were a group of people who would do as they say!

If this matter was reported to the Bureau of Education, then things will spiral out of control!

Vice Principal Hao coughed lightly and looked at Xiao Qiu Ci. His gaze was undeniably stern, "Teacher Xiao, it doesn't matter what personal grievances you have with student Yun. But the fact remains that you had ripped up her exam papers! Student Yun only wants you to glue her exam papers back together and I believe her request is fair. Teacher Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Qiu Ci pursed her lips tightly and looked through the pile of shredded paper on the table for pieces that matched.

"Teacher Xiao, you should sort the piles into subjects first. Make a pile for English, a pile for Chinese, and a pile for physics. After that, you can piece the papers together." Someone standing on the side reminded her.

Xiao Qiu Ci's hands were shaking as she sorted the shredded pieces of paper one by one...

The gazes from the crowd were like knives as they stared at her. Xiao Qiuci just wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl in!

At this moment, Xiao Ru Yue rushed into the office. She was crying as she squeezed through the crowd.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Xiao Ruyue cried even harder when she saw how Xiao Qiu Ci was silently bearing the humiliation alone. She turned around, hugged Yun Hua, and said, "Hua Hua, please don't do this. Mom didn't deliberately shred your exam papers, it was me. Because of me... Please don't humiliate my mom anymore, okay?"

Yun Hua glanced at Xiao Ruyue, "I'm humiliating her? It was you and your mother who stole my father from me and destroyed my family. It was also you and your mother who shredded my exam papers, causing me to rank second to last in the whole school... Why are you accusing me of humiliating you? How am I humiliating you?"

"She's right! They're really shameless! Why are they pretending to be the victim when they're clearly the culprit? They're disgusting."

"They're exactly the same. Pretending to be the victims after committing malicious deeds together. I'm going to vomit!"

This was the first time that Xiao Qiu Ci and Xiao Ru Yue were condemned by the public for their malicious deeds!

But this was nowhere close to what Yun Hua had experienced in her last life.

Rest assured, she will definitely return the favor back bit by bit!

...

When Xiao Ru Yue saw that no one was stepping out to help her even though she was crying, she stopped crying. There was no meaning in crying when everyone was looking down at her. Instead, she acted very "filial" and began to help her mother sort out the shredded papers, and piece together Yun Hua's exam papers...

Since there wasn't enough space on the office desk to do this, they had to move everything to the floor.

Xiao Qiu Ci and Xiao Ru Yue pieced and taped together the shredded papers on the ground as the crowd looked on...

After half a day; from the first period till the break at noon. Both mother and daughter were so tired that they couldn't even stand up. Still, they had only managed to put together Yun Hua's English exam and physics exam!

Yun Hua scored 99 points on her English exam, just one point off from a perfect score.

As for the physics exam, it was 100 points, a perfect score!

All the teachers were shocked by the scores!

No wonder Xiao Qiu Ci ripped up Yun Hua's paper. Just based on these two grades, Yun Hua was a perfect candidate for Class 1!

Although Xiao Ruyue also entered Class 1, she was ranked at the bottom of the students in Class 1. There are 50 students in Class 1 and Xiao Ruyue was ranked 49th, scoring only one point more than the person ranked 50th.

If Yun Hua had gone to Class 1...

No wonder Xiao Qiu Ci was unwilling to let Yun Hua enter Class 1. If Yun Hua went to Class 1, then Xiao Ru Yue would've been absolute trash compared to her!

This woman sure was toxic!

She was way too vicious!

Both of the exam papers were handed to Yun Hua. Yun Hua read the exam paper from the beginning to the end. She got one point deducted in the composition portion of the English exam. She wrote too fast, miswriting the word 'congratulations' by a single letter. Since she misspelled it, one point was deducted from her final score.

Yun Hua let out a sigh of relief after reading through the exam papers. She looked at the Grade Director and asked, "Since I now have my exam papers, can I add my grades to my overall score?"

The corner of Wu Lian's mouth twitched as he replied, "Yes you can."

Yun Hua nodded her head, "Has the score already been registered? You won't forget the score, right?"

Wu Lian was speechless. What kind of nonsense was this? Who could forget such outstanding exam results?

After she saw Wu Lian nodded his head, Yun Hua picked up a pair of scissors on the table and began cutting her exam paper. After the papers were taped together using transparent tape, she could not tear it with her bare hands, she could only cut with scissors!

However, Yun Hua's sudden action scared Xiao Ru Yue. She rushed over and grabbed Yun Hua's hand, and wailed, "What are you doing? Why are you cutting it? My mother and I finally finished taping it together!"

Yun Hua shrugged her shoulders and replied, "The exam papers are now useless since I now have my grades. I'll do as I please and right now, I feel like tearing them up..."

Xiao Ru Yue trembled with anger.

She and her mom worked hard on the ground for hours, piecing the shredded papers together piece by piece. When they finally finished, Yun Hua just cut it up like this!

"If you had only wanted to see the score, you could've just picked up the piece that tells you the score. Why did you make us put the entire exam paper together? Why couldn't we have just taped together the scores for you?" Xiao Ru Yue glared angrily at Yun Hua.

Yun Hua blinked her eyes and said in a serious tone, "This is my exam paper. Whoever ripped up my test paper should return my exam paper to me in one piece. What I do with my exam papers afterward is my business. If I want to cut it up, that's my right! Am I wrong?"

Xiao Ru Yue began crying again, but she couldn't retort against Yun Hua.

Yun Hua smiled, "There is still the Chinese paper left. It's the last one, it shouldn't take too long. Remember to send the exam paper to Class 15 after you finish taping it together. We'll leave first. After all, it's quite outrageous to have so many people standing here."

"Yes, she's right! It's ridiculous to have so many people here!" grade director Wu Lian said quickly, "This matter has been resolved. You can all leave!"

Yun Hua glanced at Han Fang Zhou before she led the students from Class 15 out of the office.

"Fuck, that was truly satisfying! Did you see the way that old woman sat on the ground as she pieced together the exam papers? She would look at the crowd pitifully after every piece she put together!"

"Right? She's so disgusting. She was clearly the one who tore up the exam papers, yet she still acts like she was the one who was wronged!"

"She's extremely disgusting! If she wasn't so disgusting, then would she have become a mistress? What's more, she even became best friends with the wife of the man she's having an affair with! Oh no, I really want to throw up!"

...

The group of students returned to their classroom. The students in the front of the group chattered excitedly while the students in the back were silent.

Yun Hua was walking silently at the end of the group. Next to her was the quiet Han Fang Zhou.

"Sister Hua, are you okay? Were you bullied?" Zhan Shi Bang couldn't stand the heavy atmosphere around them, so he tried to break the silence.

Yun Hua shook her head.

Luo Xi Xi, who was walking in front of Han Fang Zhou suddenly turned around and snorted, "She's going to go to Class 1 soon, how can she have been bullied?"

"Fuck, Luo Xi Xi, can you shut your mouth? I told everyone earlier that if they didn't want to come, then they didn't have to come! Since you came along with us, then cut the bullshit!" Zhan Shi Bang immediately retorted.

Luo Xi Xi hmphed unhappily.

Han Fang Zhou said coldly, "As long as she's in Class 15 for a day, then we Class 15 won't let her be bullied!"

"That's right, Brother Han is right!" Zhan Shibang quickly echoed, "Even if... Even if she returned to Class 1, she has stayed in Class 15 before, so she's still a part of Class 15!"

No one said anything.

What will happen once Yun Hua returns to Class 1?

She will have a bright future, but as for Class 15...

...

Yun Hua suddenly frowned, and her expression turned cold, "Did each group complete their task? Like I said before, you can only leave early if you've completed the task. If you haven't completed the task... Then you'll have to run raps according to the percentage of unfinished tasks!"

"..." Everyone looked at each other.

Yun Hua glanced at everyone and said, "Go back and check now!"

"You can't be serious..."

Everyone groaned.

Ever since Yun Hua left the classroom, the students in Class 15 stopped working on their tasks and began discussing what to do next.

In fact, because they thought that Yun Hua was leaving for Class 1, the curriculum she had set up would no longer exist. Hence, they thought that it did not matter whether they completed the tasks or not.

Now, she decides to spring a check on them out of the blue!

Everyone was in a daze.

The most anyone had completed was about 10% of the task while the least was... Probably at 0%!

According to the rules, their punishment would be... Death by running...

Today, something extraordinary happened in Nan Xi Middle School. Something that had never occurred before.
