Chapter 146 Teacher, actually I am...
boom!
Jiang Bai felt like his scalp was about to explode!
Great!
Even the best-laid plans can have flaws!
I planned everything, but I forgot about these lucky white sneakers!
Because the shoes were so comfortable and the luck boost was so amazing, he never even considered taking them off!
Now it's all good!
That became the only flaw!
Looking into Old Zhang's eyes, which seemed to have seen through everything and were gradually approaching the truth.
Jiang Bai's palms instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
"What do we do?!"
"If this can't be explained clearly, the lie that Jiang Baizhi is my sister will fall apart on its own!"
"What will Lao Zhang think?"
"Does he think... he doesn't actually have a younger sister at all?"
"That person on stage wearing white stockings and a short skirt, wiggling her hips in white sneakers..."
"It's me?!"
"No, he already suspects Jiang Baizhi is me!"
Jiang Bai felt a jolt in his heart.
His mind raced, and he forced himself to make up a story:
"Um... teacher, you don't know this."
"These shoes... were bought through a group purchase!"
"When we bought them, the second pair was half price, so my sister and I each bought a pair!"
"Sibling-style! That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"
"Reasonable?"
Old Zhang took a deep breath and fell completely silent.
Looking at Jiang Bai's face, which was full of sincerity, the last glimmer of hope in his heart vanished in an instant.
Is Jiang Bai trying to fool idiots?
"OK."
"Since you said it's a sibling style."
Old Zhang took out his phone, glanced at his schedule, and spoke in a frighteningly calm tone:
"Call your sister Jiang Baizhi to my office at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
"The school leaders were very satisfied with her performance and wanted to give her an award, and also discuss the special admissions process."
"Make sure she's there; I need to speak with her about something important."
Jiang Bai: "......"
This is a dead end!
Where can he conjure up a living person?
Jiang Bai's eyes flickered, and he stammered, about to speak:
"Um... teacher..."
Before he could finish speaking, Old Zhang interrupted him, answering in a low, detached tone:
"Are you trying to say...?"
"Your sister has already left by plane?"
"Or are you feeling unwell and unable to come tomorrow?"
Jiang Bai was taken aback, then nodded subconsciously:
"Uh...yes, how did you know?"
Old Zhang didn't answer, but stared intently at him, continuing to drop bombshells:
"And I also know."
"You'll be asking me for leave frequently during this period."
"The reason is... going to the film set to accompany your sister in her acting role? Or are you going to act? Play a bodyguard?"
"Or... are you going to Kyoto to accompany your sister to record 'The Voice of China'?"
boom!
Jiang Bai was completely stunned.
His eyes were wide open like copper bells, and his mouth was so wide that an egg could fit inside.
"How...how did you know?!"
Is this guy some kind of supernatural being?!
He never mentioned the recording of "The Voice of China" to Lao Zhang!
The teacher's wife, who had been silent the whole time, was also dumbfounded. She looked back and forth between the teacher and student, feeling like she was listening to gibberish.
Old Zhang looked at Jiang Bai's horrified expression and gave a bitter laugh:
"How did I know?"
"You ask me how I know?"
Old Zhang suddenly erupted, his hand holding the phone trembling:
"Because the whole internet knows that Jiang Baizhi is going to play Empress Zhang Yan in 'Beauty's Rival in Palace'!"
"Because last night the TV was all showing Jiang Baizhi advancing to the next round of 'The Voice of China' after four turns!"
"The whole world knows Jiang Baizhi's upcoming schedule, and you ask me how I know?!"
"and........"
Old Zhang continued with a sneer, "When Jiang Baizhi has free time, you, Jiang Bai, disappear!"
"While Jiang Baizhi was in front of me, you, Jiang Bai, were in the toilet!"
"On stage, all your dance partners are dressed in black, including their shoes, except for you, Jiang Bai, who is wearing white shoes exactly like Jiang Baizhi's!"
"All the clues point to you—you are Jiang Baizhi!"
Jiang Bai felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his calves started to cramp.
It’s over.
It's all over.
Old Zhang has stripped himself bare!
"No...no, I have to struggle a little longer!"
Jiang Bai was still trying to put up a last-ditch effort. Although he was panicking inside, he was still putting on a brave face.
"Teacher, you're overthinking it."
"It really is just a coincidence."
"The main reason is that my younger sister has a lot of resources, and as her older brother, I have to go and be her assistant, so I took leave."
"As for the shoes, it's probably a lighting issue..."
"Teacher, how could I be a girl? That really is my sister! My own sister!"
"A younger sister? Okay, a younger sister, then?"
Old Zhang gave a cold laugh.
He immediately pulled up his phone's contacts, and the screen prominently displayed—[Jiang Bai's Father].
Old Zhang looked at Jiang Bai with a resolute expression:
"Jiang Bai."
"I'll call your dad right now."
"I just want to ask one question—"
"Does your Jiang family actually have a daughter named Jiang Baizhi?!"
"If so, I apologize to you."
"If not..."
A decisive goal.
This was a true game-winning shot.
If that call goes through, it won't just be a matter of the community being destroyed; it'll be a double whammy, a chance to be kicked out of the house!
If his dad knew he wore a skirt to school...
She was also wearing white stockings...
They'll probably have to fly over overnight to clean house!
Jiang Bai looked at the finger about to press down and knew that this time there was really no way to avoid it.
"Don't!"
"Don't hit him!"
Jiang Bai grabbed Old Zhang's hand, just about to reveal the truth: "Teacher, actually..."
"Hahaha! Old Zhang! I knew you'd be here!"
Suddenly, a hearty and loud laugh came from the darkness behind them, instantly breaking the tense atmosphere.
They both turned around at the same time.
Then, the department head, Professor Yan, strode over, his face beaming.
The moment Director Yan saw Jiang Bai, his eyes lit up like searchlights.
He strode forward, completely ignoring Old Zhang's complicated expression, and slapped Jiang Bai hard on the shoulder:
"Good lad!"
"They really made our department proud!"
"Old Zhang just told me! That Jiang Baizhi who stunned the audience on stage is your sister! Wow, the genes, the talent, amazing!"
As Director Yan praised him, he turned to look at Old Zhang, who was standing beside him in a daze, his tone full of admiration:
"Old Zhang, you did both right and wrong in this matter."
"That's right, you actually managed to find such a great off-campus supporter as Jiang Bai."
"The problem is..."
Director Yan pretended to be angry and pointed at Lao Zhang:
"Why are you only telling me today that Jiang Baizhi is Jiang Bai's biological sister?"
"You should have said so earlier! If you had, we would have applied for a 'Special Guest' trophy for them!"
