Chapter 213: Lin’s Mother Creates Trouble, Questioning on the Spot
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
At any time, the appearance of “extremes” can attract the most attention.
Being first with full marks is extreme, but being last with zero marks is even more so!
Soon, parents discovered that among the fifteen people, there was actually someone with blank scores five times, totaling zero?
This level of sensation was no less than the impact brought by Jiang Fuyue’s full marks every time—
“Zero marks? Did they hand in a blank paper?”
“Did this kid not participate in the training at all?”
“Impossible! The head coach just said it—there are fifteen students present! There are also fifteen names on the score sheet, with no absences.”
“I see… So, did Lin Yuan’s parents come? Who are Lin Yuan’s parents?”
You look at me, I look at him, and he looks at her.
“They didn’t come?”
“Yeah, probably afraid of losing face, so they didn’t show up.”
“Could the score sheet be wrong? No matter how bad the exam, it shouldn’t be zero!”
“Who knows? Kids these days are much smarter than we were, coming up with all sorts of tricks, it’s hard to control them!”
“…”
A group of parents whispered, seizing upon the zero marks to gossip, depreciating her daughter as worthless, Lin’s mother heard it all, her expression growing increasingly grim.
Originally, she planned to wait until it was over to ask the head coach for clarification, and privately negotiate a solution to avoid making a scene. But she didn’t expect the rumors had already spread among the parents.
At this rate, even if the truth comes out later, and the scores are restored, Yuanyuan’s reputation would already be ruined.
Since that’s the case, then…
Lin’s mother’s expression darkened, suddenly standing up. “Sorry, teacher, I may need to interrupt you for a few minutes.”
Uh!
“What’s the matter?”
“Why is my daughter’s total score zero on the score sheet? Clearly, she got full marks in the first four tests. In the last one, she was confident as well and should have gotten full marks. So, may I ask, why has my daughter’s excellent performance of full marks five times turned into what it is now? Was there a problem when you entered the data into the system, or am I mistaken?”
The head coach was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted. “You’re Lin Yuan’s parent?”
“That’s right. Today, you must give me an explanation publicly, otherwise, it’s a great insult and disrespect to me and my daughter!”
“Lin Yuan’s parent, please don’t be agitated, this matter…”
“Don’t be agitated?!” Lin’s mother suddenly raised her voice, as if greatly offended, “How could I not be upset? This is my daughter, and now she’s being treated unfairly. You’re not upset because the knife didn’t cut you!”
“Please calm down, I didn’t mean…”
“How can a mother stay calm in such a situation?”
“…” The coach’s eye twitched uncontrollably. Couldn’t this woman let him finish speaking?
At first glance, she seemed knowledgeable and rational, but the result was more difficult to deal with than a middle-aged woman selling eggs in the market.
“Lin Yuan’s mother!” He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “If you have any questions, you can raise them. Of course, you did raise them. Shouldn’t you also give us a chance to clarify?”
Lin’s mother was taken aback.
“Shouting and screaming like this won’t solve any problems.”
She suddenly realized that her behavior seemed… not very dignified.
“Alright,” she gritted her teeth and calmed down, “How do you plan to explain this?”
At this moment, those parents gathered together again, whispering to each other—
“So she’s Lin Yuan’s parent, sitting right next to me, so close that she could definitely hear us talking. When we asked who Lin Yuan’s parent was just now, she actually sat still and didn’t say a word.”
“What else could she do? Admitting it right then and there would be embarrassing.”
“Now she’s standing up, it’s quite strange.”
“Not strange, maybe she couldn’t stand it anymore after listening for a while!”
“She speaks so confidently and convincingly, could she really be mistaken? Should she have been first with full marks originally?”
“Where do all these full marks come from? Do you think they’re cabbages in the market, just pick and choose?”
“But her tone doesn’t sound like she’s lying…”
“Let’s hear what the coach has to say. Since he gave zero marks, there must be a reason.”
“…”
Lin’s mother didn’t expect that even after she clarified things in public, these people still wouldn’t stop gossiping!
She couldn’t help but urge, “Coach, I’ve given you the chance, now speak.”
The head coach’s eyes flashed slightly, “Lin Yuan’s mother, we can discuss this privately after it’s over, after all, it involves student privacy. Now, in front of so many students and parents, it’s probably… not appropriate.”
Lin’s mother sneered, “Why should we discuss this privately? What can’t be said openly?”
The head coach frowned, “I’m doing this for—” Lin Yuan’s sake!
Exposing a cheating scandal publicly would be a devastating blow to the child. As teachers, they had discussed it overnight and decided to give this misguided child a chance to repent.
But obviously, Lin’s mother didn’t see it that way.
She sneered and, with the superiority of an upper-class person, expressed the most malicious speculation in the gentlest tone possible, “What a ‘student privacy issue’! May I ask which student is involved and what kind of privacy? And as coaches and teachers, whom do you want to protect?”
Lin’s mother: Watch me perform a spectacular suicide for everyone.
