The dean doubtfully looked at An Wen.

“I understand why the school had to look into this matter when someone else reported me for cheating. So why do you need to apologize for that, sir? I only said those things yesterday because I was angry!” An Wen calmly said while a gentle and feminine expression appeared on her face.

The wrinkles on the dean’s face became much softer. He was just about to force himself to smile and speak before An Wen said, “Sir, you said that you wouldn’t reveal this matter, but for some reason, rumors about me cheating have already spread throughout the school since yesterday. The students have also openly interrogated me and said that I don’t deserve to remain in the advanced class if I cheated on the exams. This has affected me terribly.”

After hearing An Wen speak, the dean glanced at all the teachers in the office, but all of them shook their heads because they had not revealed this matter.

“Alright, I’ll definitely look into this and get to the bottom of it. Your good reputation will be restored,” the dean said.

“Sir, people are already pointing at me whenever I go to the cafeteria and eat. I would have already gone insane once you’ve finished investigating this incident,” An Wen replied.

The dean’s expression changed after the female student had spoken. He said, “Okay, I’ll bring this up during the exercise period between classes tomorrow.”

“Thank you, sir. However, I have something else to add.” A faint smile appeared on the corners of An Wen’s lips before she gently said, “I’d like to request for leave.”

All the teachers in the office had confused looks on their faces.

“For how long?” the dean asked.

“The things that happened these past few days affected me so badly that I cried myself to sleep every night! Sir, I’d like to request for leave until the last day before the school term ends,” An Wen replied. She lowered her head and gently sniffled, making herself appear fragile and troubled.

The dean and the other teachers thought, ‘This incident greatly affected us too! Our poor hearts are still hurting.’

“You can’t request for such a long period of leave,” the dean said.

An Wen’s beautiful watery eyes were filled with tears when she lifted her head. She quietly said, “Sir, if you won’t allow it, I’ll just transfer to another school instead.”

Transfer? How could he allow such a good student to transfer to another school? The dean frantically said, “We can discuss this matter properly. Why did you have to resort to transferring schools?”

“Does that mean you’ll agree to my request, sir?” An Wen faintly asked while plastering a pitiful look on her face.

“Alright, I’ll approve your leave. You’re definitely exhausted after these few days, so you should rest well at home,” the dean said while he smiled.

After the girl had carried her bag and left, the dean sat on his chair again and stared at An Wen’s test results with the other teachers. None of them knew what to say.

She had scored 672 marks. These results were enough for her to enter a prestigious school like Qing University!

This student was… incredible!

The next day, the principal went on stage to speak after the exercise period between classes. He talked about being disciplined in the examination venue and praised several Senior Three students from the advanced class before he mentioned An Wen.

He said that An Wen was an intelligent and well-behaved student. Unfortunately, someone had been spreading hurtful and untrue rumors about her around the school recently. The school had decided to carry out an investigation and they hoped that all the other students in the school would actively cooperate with them.

An Wen was having breakfast when Zeng Xiuman sent her a WeChat message informing her about these things. It was so interesting to hear Zeng Xiuman’s description of Shi Jing’s expression.

Once the matter with the school was resolved, An Wen could finally focus on joining the cast. It was fine for her to join the cast at a later time because her character in the drama would not appear so early anyway.

The production crew hired Cheng Weien, the well-known acting coach, to teach An Wen. The girl did not want to show off, so she pretended to be an inexperienced actress before her acting skills quickly improved when she suddenly understood everything. Cheng Weien thought that An Wen was extremely talented when she watched her improve every day. The coach said, “Come to Di City Film Academy after your college entrance examination. I’ll take you in as my disciple.”

An Wen smiled but kept quiet. Coaches from the film academy were certainly different. She managed to learn a lot from Cheng Weien.
