Chen Yuan did not realize that the "Gu Bin" Lixi mentioned was the one from Jinsong Law Firm, so she didn't give it any further thought. Instead, she became even more convinced that Lixi was feeling guilty because she had something to hide.
Coming from a family of scholars, Chen Yuan had always performed well academically. She was used to ranking in the top two—usually alternating between the North District and the Eastern District. Naturally, she felt she could outperform anyone. But Su Ke? She had no family background to speak of and had barely scraped by in her entrance exams. Losing to someone like her felt like a disgrace to her family name.
So, rather than being afraid, she grew even more smug. "Just as I thought. I knew there was something fishy going on. Lixi, if it were you, you would have demanded the school organize a re-examination to prove your strength long ago. Why won't Su Ke do the same?"
