Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Slapping the Reborn Woman of the Face-Slapping Era

"What isn’t it."

A middle-aged female proctor couldn’t stand the likes of Lin Anjie, a woman with such ill intentions.

She didn’t care how harsh her words were, pointing at Lin Anjie’s nose and scolding: "Caught by your sister and yet you won’t admit it, you young girl are truly vicious. Who doesn’t know how important the college entrance exam is? It’s about to start today, yet you gave your sister sleeping pills early in the morning? And as if the sleeping pills weren’t enough to do harm, you added some laxatives too, young lady, your conscience must be very clear indeed."

"Exactly."

Others chimed in: "Even if we’re not talking about siblings, strangers should be looked after during the college entrance exam. To do such a thing to your own sister, are you even human?"

Lin Anjie shook her head vigorously, trying to deny it loudly.

But, she could in no way outtalk the few middle-aged women.

Those middle-aged women must be the kind who were unbeatable locally, a few of them targeting Lin Anjie made her completely defenseless.

Meanwhile, Anning took several shocked steps back.

She looked at Lin Anjie and asked word by word: "Sister, can you really not stand to see me do well even a little bit?"

Xue Ling lifted the medicine packet: "Sister Ningning, the evidence is right here, why ask her?"

"Is it true?"

Anning looked at Lin Anjie and asked again.

"I, it’s not..."

Lin Anjie’s gaze flickered.

Anning’s eyes were especially pure, which actually made her feel guilty.

Anning smiled: "I understand now."

She reached out to Xue Ling: "Xue Ling, give me the medicine packet."

Xue Ling passed the medicine packet over: "Sister Ningning, don’t worry. If you go back and talk to Uncle Aiguo about this, I can testify for you."

He added: "The medicine packet is the evidence."

But Anning took the medicine packet and went straight to the water room; when she came out, the medicine packet was gone.

"Where’s the medicine packet?"

Xue Ling followed and asked.

Anning smiled: "The medicine powder has been washed away."

"Why?"

Not only was Xue Ling puzzled, but Xue Feng and the onlookers didn’t understand either.

Anning smiled with a tragic look: "After all, she is my sister. She may not want me to do well, but I don’t want to do her harm. I don’t want to pursue this matter this time."

"But..."

Xue Ling wanted to say Lin Anjie intended to harm Anning.

Anning smiled with relief: "This is the last time. I’ve always told myself she’s my sister, and I shouldn’t argue with her. But this time... If it wasn’t for me discovering it, I might have failed the exam. Our family doesn’t have the money to afford another year for me."

Anning’s mouth was smiling, but large tears fell down: "From now on, she has her path and I have mine. Our sisterly bond is cut with one stroke. I won’t harm her, but she also shouldn’t think about harming me."

Having said that, Anning covered her face and ran back into the house.

A few people let go of Lin Anjie.

One of the proctoring parents pointed at Lin Anjie and cursed: "Heart of a serpent and scorpion."

"If any family has this kind of daughter, that’s really bad luck for eight lifetimes."

Xue Ling also looked at Lin Anjie with different eyes.

Thinking about how poisonous Lin Anjie’s mind was, to even harm Anning who was such a good person, Xue Ling shivered involuntarily. Staying with such a person, he really felt uneasy.

Xue Feng was the most upset.

In Xue Feng’s eyes, although Lin Anjie was a bit temperamental and quite willful sometimes, she did not have any bad intentions, and was especially simple.

What Xue Feng liked was Lin Anjie’s simplicity.

But now, it seemed that he had indeed misjudged Lin Anjie in the past.

Perhaps Lin Anjie was just too good at pretending, deliberately displaying an innocent and kind demeanor in front of him, keeping her dark heart hidden.

Xue Feng felt somewhat sad, a bit hurt, yet he also experienced a sense of relief and relaxation.

With complex emotions, he glanced over at Lin Anjie several times before dragging Xue Ling back to their room.

Xue Feng thought it might be for the best, having seen through Lin Anjie. He could now completely bid farewell to the past sentiments and as of today, he did not want to be entangled with her any longer.

He would be fine, but from now on, Lin Anjie would no longer be a part of his life plans.

Seeing so many people cursing her, and watching Xue Feng’s disappointed expression towards her, Lin Anjie really couldn’t take it anymore.

She thought back to the things that happened in her past life.

In her past life, after being caught and beaten by the wife while being the other woman, she was condemned and cursed by countless people. It was the same situation back then, with various malicious words attacking her, people pointing at her and spitting insults.

She felt like dirtied trash that shouldn’t exist in this world.

Lin Anjie felt a moment of daze, with anger swelling in her heart.

She didn’t go back to her room but instead rushed out of the guesthouse, running madly forward.

Meanwhile, Anning was calmly preparing her exam necessities in her room.

She put her admission ticket, pens, erasers, and rulers into her bag, then washed her face, looking refreshed as she went to find Xue Feng and head to the exam site together.

On the way to the exam venue, Xue Feng kept trying to speak with Anning.

Actually, he wanted to comfort Anning.

But seeing Anning’s silent demeanor, he held back.

It wasn’t until they entered the exam hall that Xue Feng quietly said, "Don’t be sad, don’t let it affect your exam."

"Mhm."

Anning nodded her head.

Xue Feng was still a bit worried: "The more she doesn’t want you to do well, the better you have to perform. Your usual scores are good, so this time you must do your best. Let’s aim to astonish everyone, and get a fantastic score to piss off Lin Anjie."

"Okay."

Anning burst into a giggle: "Thank you."

Xue Feng quickly waved his hands: "No, no, don’t mention it."

Once the exam papers were distributed, Anning concentrated deeply to tackle the examination.

She indeed used some of her real abilities, answering the questions earnestly.

The two days of college entrance exams went by smoothly. Lin Anjie did not appear throughout those two days, leaving Anning alone in her guesthouse room.

Worried about Anning, Xue Feng had Xue Ling bring meals to Anning every day, even reserving and delivering lunch to her. When it was time to enter the exam hall, he would also call Anning to go together, fearing that she might oversleep and miss the exam.

With the care of Xue Feng and Xue Ling, Anning’s days went quite well.

At least, she didn’t have to see Lin Anjie’s face, which made her unhappy, and Xue Ling was very good at lightening the mood, often telling jokes and keeping Anning in good spirits.

Once the exams were over, Anning, Xue Feng, and Xue Ling rode bikes back to their village.

Back home, Anning went into her room to rest.

She slept all the way until the next morning.

Upon waking up in the morning, Anning got dressed and went out to help Wang Cuixhua cook. As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Wang Cuixhua’s eyes red and swollen, looking at Anning with guilt.

"Mom"

Anning was quite puzzled: "What’s wrong?"

She went closer to examine Wang Cuixhua: "Why are you crying? Did you and dad have a fight?"

Wang Cuixhua quickly wiped her eyes again: "I, I’m fine, Ningning... mom didn’t expect An Jie to hurt you, how could she have turned out this way?"

Anning frowned: "Mom, who told you that? I... I’ve already told Xue Feng and Xue Ling that I won’t pursue the matter anymore."

Wang Cuixhua wiped away more tears: "It’s spread all over the nearby villages, when your dad goes out, people keep asking him. And, Xue Ling also told Uncle Xue and Aunt Xue about it, they all say you’re lucky, otherwise if Lin Anjie had succeeded, this year’s college entrance exam would have been ruined for you."
