Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 418 - 279 Scientific Cultivation Club is on fire!

By the time Xia Ye woke up from her nap, it was already afternoon.

She first went to her department.

Professor Fan was very efficient and had already handled the promotion affairs at the Life Sciences Institute for her and Shen Zhiqiao.

They were asked to come and collect the relevant procedures.

When Xia Ye arrived, Shen Zhiqiao was in the office; she had just finished collecting them and deeply glanced at Xia Ye, the words her brother had said before immediately sprang to mind.

Shen Zhiqiao tensed her jaw and, without saying a word, turned on her heel and left.

Just as she reached the door, she ran into Professor Bian.

"Qiaoqiao, come with the professor for a moment, he has something to ask you,"

Shen Zhiqiao thought Professor Bian knew about her perfect score promotion and wanted to commend her; even though it felt like a waste of time, she still followed him to the next room.

Once inside, Professor Bian closed the door to ensure no one else could hear their conversation.

He stood with his back to Shen Zhiqiao for a moment before carefully beginning: "Qiaoqiao, the topics of this examination were very challenging to score perfectly on,"

Shen Zhiqiao showed no particular expression: "You flatter me, professor, I think it was quite manageable,"

But Professor Bian wasn’t there to praise her.

Initially, he just found Shen Zhiqiao’s perfect score very surprising; later, he wanted to study this exam’s questions more deeply to use them as samples for other students in the future.

However, a few questions involved the latest technology systems, and the books on them were available in the Beijing University library.

So, he went to the Beijing University library at noon.

But when he mentioned those books to the librarian, the librarian stated that the books had been checked out a few days ago.

And the person who borrowed them was none other than Shen Zhiqiao.

The books involved very obscure knowledge that few people usually consulted, but bizarrely, a few days before the written exam, Shen Zhiqiao had borrowed those very books.

It was hard not to think more about this coincidence.

Professor Bian, who always saw things in black and white, now confronted Shen Zhiqiao with his suspicions: "Qiaoqiao, could you explain why you needed to borrow these books just a few days before the examination?"

Shen Zhiqiao paused for a few seconds, her body stiffening: "Professor Bian, what are you implying? These books are about emerging technologies; I borrowed them to enhance my knowledge, of course,"

Professor Bian turned towards her and fell silent for a while.

What she said wasn’t wrong, but these books covered more than five highly difficult questions in the exam; it was all a bit too coincidental...

Feeling her vulnerability exposed, Shen Zhiqiao grew somewhat angrily defensive: "Professor Bian, are you suggesting that I cheated in the examination? There were others who scored perfectly, not just me. Isn’t this a bit biased of you?"

Both she and Xia Ye were favorites of Professor Bian; with her pointed comment, it became awkward for the professor to probe further.

Professor Bian looked at her with a complex expression for a moment, then patted her shoulder: "The professor was just asking; don’t think too much of it and focus on your studies at the Academy of Sciences."

After he left, Shen Zhiqiao stayed in the room for quite a while.

The suspicion of Professor Bian felt more humiliating than direct accusations of cheating.

Why did her brother and Professor Bian value Xia Ye so highly?

And yet, they had no confidence in her? Always suspicious?

That’s unacceptable! fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

She was determined to prove to them that she was better than Xia Ye!

With the Academy of Sciences issue settled for now, the members of the Scientific Cultivation Club finally dared to invite their junior club member for a visit.

They earnestly requested her to come by when she had time, especially president Hu Zhuangzhuang—they all missed her terribly.

Three senior members each sent Xia Ye a message on WeChat. They hadn’t coordinated this, but coincidentally all ended up messaging her at the same time.

After leaving the Academy of Sciences, Xia Ye received a barrage of messages and, after some thought, headed towards Yijin Building.

Before she got there, Yang Qiange had just arrived as well.

She was a member of the student union, which wasn’t located in Yijin Building, so since she had come here once with Lu Beibei and the others at the start of term, she hadn’t been back.

Today, she was here to complete a task for the student union, handing out routine forms to each club.

With the student union overseeing all clubs, Yang Qiange felt a sense of superiority when she arrived.

After handing out forms to several clubs on the first floor, she took the elevator to the second floor.

The second floor was the quietest, as it housed some of the less popular clubs, rarely bustling with activity.

Yet oddly, as soon as Yang Qiange stepped off the elevator today, she heard the bustle of people and the lively atmosphere in the corridor.

Which club had suddenly become popular?

It was even busier than a student union recruitment drive.

Curious, Yang Qiange headed in the direction of the crowd.
