Qiao Chenâs teeth almost shattered under the pressure she was clenching them at. But with Shen Jingyanâs eyes on her, she could only pretend not to get what Qiao Nian was saying. She bit her lip and said, âSister, Iâm sincerely apologizing to you. I donât know why it turned out like thatâ¦â
âHuh.â Qiao Nian lowered her cap slightly with a look of annoyance. She turned to her and said coldly, âEnough, Iâm tired of this even if youâre not. Do you think youâre still in primary school? Qiao Chen, at 10 you said you didnât know this, everyone believed you. Now youâre 18, youâre an adult, and youâre still telling me you donât know anything. There are only two possibilities. The first is that youâre feigning ignorance. If itâs the alternative, I suggest you look for a neurologist!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She was genuinely frustrated and irritated by Qiao Chen, and she didnât even try to hide it. She raised a brow and widened her eyes that were filled with anger. âSocial behavior disorder, itâs an illness. The earlier you get treated, the better. You might still have a chance at recovery. This way, you wouldnât still be using the same excuse at 30. Iâd be tired of it even if you arenât. Otherwise, just stay away from me, donât appear in front of me so much!â
Qiao Chen went red. She could barely keep her face together. If not for Shen Jingyan eyeing her every move from the side, she might have just erupted herself.
But now, she could only lower her head and take all the humiliation without rebuking.
Wu Jieâs mother had watched the drama unfold this whole time, not understanding what the fuss was about. She furrowed her brows and interrupted the rest of them, raising her voice. âYouâve been talking among yourselves for so long, but none of you has given us an explanation. Sheâs beaten someone up, how is the school going to handle this? Iâm going to make this clear right now, we parents will not agree to have a student like her remain in this school. A hooligan like her will influence our childrenâ¦â
Shen Jingyan could feel the atmosphere in the room go cold.
He dared not look at the man sitting at the side.
The moment he thought about how the young man of the Ye family was still seated there, he felt all prickly in his heart and could barely keep still.
Especially because this involved Wei Qi, this frustrated him further!
Hence, when he heard this unknown parent speak up to cause more trouble, he quickly stepped forward before the principal even had a chance to explain things. He looked at Wu Jieâs mother and said, âIâve already explained this to the principal. Itâs Chen Chenâs fault. She heard it wrongly and went around telling her classmates about it, causing a misunderstanding. Iâve already gotten her to apologize. You shouldâve seen it just now!â
Wu Jieâs mother raised a brow and sneered. âHmph, she called you here. Just because you say itâs a misunderstanding, it stays as a misunderstanding?â
Her gaze landed on the pale girl. Without any sympathy for her, she remarked sharply, âSheâs a grown-up. Canât she tell the difference between falling down the stairs and being beaten up?â
Qiao Chen had been pampered all her life. Back then, before the Qiao Family fell from grace, Shen Qiongzhi and Qiao Weimin treated her like a gem. She never had to deal with so many grievances.
Now, she could only clench her teeth and bear with the insults. Her mind was a mess.
She couldnât figure out why things had turned out this way.
After being found out by the school, Qiao Nian should be in huge trouble for having beaten someone up. Why was she the one in trouble now?
Shen Jingyan was not as patient as Principal Yu. Seeing how she was still not over this matter, his eyes turned cold and he said, âMadame, the person whoâs landed in hospital is my wifeâs brother. Why would I be defending anyone here? I said there was no fight, and thereâs that. He accidentally fell down the stairs. As to why Chen Chen heard it wrongly, I donât think I need to give you an explanation.â
