Song Zhou didnât follow Jiang Jingchen in because he went to look for evidence.
The principal was also asked over by Song Zhou. The three of them had a fight and Yuan Jiao jiao was pushing all the blame to Tang Beibei, saying that it was her fault. That would not do, so he had to find an excuse to shut Yuan Jiaojiao up.
The evidence that Song Zhou found was a surveillance footage from the corridor where they fought. The surveillance footage would undoubtedly show everyone what happened and that Yuan Jiaojiao was the one who made the first move.
Now that she had lost the fight, she cried to the teacher and asked Tang Beibei for apology and compensation? This was extortion!
The principal scolded Yuan Jiao jiao with a cold face. âDonât you know your mistake? You were the one who started things both times, Yuan Jiaojiao!â
Yuan Jiaojiaoâs face was pale. She opened her mouth but could not refute the principal. She cried and begged for mercy, âPrincipal, they were the ones who scolded me. Thatâs why I acted rashly. I didnât mean it.â
Ruan Qi was furious. âIf you hadnât come looking for trouble with us, we wouldnât have scolded you. If you didnât mean to hit someone, why would you ask us to give you 5,000 yuan?â
Yuan Jiaojiao sobbed softly. She seemed to think that when she cried, everyone would have to coax her, give in to her, and not argue with her.
At this moment, Jiang Jingchen said, âThis student has already said that a slap was worth 5,000 yuan in compensation. She was the one who hit Ruan Qi first, so she should pay compensation. Principal, what do you think?â
The principal nodded. âThatâs what Yuan Jiaojiao said herself, so she should pay compensation and apologize to Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi!â âPrincipal, 5,000 yuan! How can it be so much!â Yuan Jiaojiao retorted, feeling wronged.
Ruan Qi sneered. âDemerit points or expulsion unless you pay up!â
â⦠Ruan Qi, youâ¦â
Tang Beibei interrupted, âYou did the same thing to us before!â
Yuan Jiaojiao cried again but she wasnât pretending this time. She was crying out of anger.
She felt the pinch when she was asked to fork out 5,000 yuan.
However, she didnât want to receive demerit points or be expelled from school, so she could only take out her phone and pay Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi didnât accept the money. Instead, he told the principal that she would donate the 5,000-yuan penalty from Yuan Jiaojiao to the school. The principal immediately praised her for being a good student. As a reward, he even gave extra points to Ruan Qi and Tang Beibei.

Yuan Jiaojiao, who had just forked out 5,000 yuan, was so angry that she wanted to kill someone when she heard the principalâs praises.
They did good with her money. She was the one who suffered. Those two batches!
Yuan Jiaojiao was furious and wanted to leave, but Song Zhou blocked the staffroom entrance and she couldnât escape.
âIâve already paid compensation. What else do you want?â
Song Zhouâs expression was cold. âYou forgot the most important thing. Apologize.â
âI already paid. Isnât it enough?â
Song Zhou shook his head. âYou should apologize after doing something wrong. The most important thing to learn in school is virtue. Teacher Lu, donât you think so?â
Teacher Lu, who had been trying to become invisible, heard Song Zhouâs insinuating words. His heart skipped a beat and he nodded awkwardly.
âThis gentleman is right.â
Song Zhou then continued, âTeacher Lu, youâre wise. You didnât investigate the matter before you decided that Tang Beibei was in the wrong. How well do think you did?â
He didnât say anything unpleasant, but every word he said made Teacher Lu lower his head more. There was simply nowhere to escape.
Teacher Lu glared at Yuan Jiaojiao angrily. How dare she use him to suppress Tang Beibei!
âYuan Jiao jiao, hurry up and apologize!â
At this moment, the principal said, âYuan Jiaojiao, donât think that you can just settle things with money. The school is teaching you that you must correct your mistakes. Only then can you be a good student!â
Yuan Jiaojiao was forced by the two of them and had no choice. Just as she was about to apologize, she heard Tang Beibei say, âYuan Jiaojiao, you promised me last time that you would write me a letter of apology, but you havenât given it to me yet.â
âWhy donât you give both letters of apology to me at the same time? Teacher Lu and the principal can be our witnesses. If you donât write me the apology letters, Iâll let Teacher Lu give you demerit points. Teacher Lu, what do you think?â
Teacher Lu guessed that the two of them had a grudge, but he had also made a mistake, so he naturally agreed to Tang Beibeiâs suggestion.
âYuan Jiaojiao, you must correct your attitude and apologize properly. Otherwise, I will discuss the matter of you hitting your classmate with the principal, announce your offence to the whole school and then give you demerit points!â
âI will write the letters.â
Yuan Jiaojiao was fuming mad that so many people were helping Tang Beibei.
If they announced her offence to the entire school, wouldnât she become the topic of everyoneâs discussion? She didnât want to be a lunchtime joke.
She had really suffered a double loss this time!
She glared at Song Zhou angrily as she said, âMove aside, I still have to write apology letters!â
Song Zhou stood still. He glanced at Jiang Jingchen first because he would only make way for Yuan Jiaojiao after getting Jiang Jingchenâs nod.
âMr. Jiang, itâs almost lunchtime. Why donât 1 treat all of you to lunch?â the principal said with a smile.
Jiang Jingchen waved his hand. âNo, thanks. I should go home and take my medicine. Thank you, Principal, for intervening this time.â
âWhat are you talking about? This is a school matter. Itâs only right for me intervene if itâs not handled properly.â When the principal spoke, he looked coldly at Teacher Lu. Teacher Lu lowered her head in fear.
Although Teacher Lu couldnât figure out the identity of the man in the wheelchair, seeing the principal acting so respectful around him, he was even more angry at that hypocrite, Yuan Jiaojiao.
Teacher Lu was already nervous. When he heard the principal call his name again, he felt a chill down his spine.
âTeacher Lu was a little reckless this time. 1 apologize on his behalf.â
Jiang Jingchen coughed twice. âPrincipal, youâre too polite. Thereâs no need to apologize. Please be fair in future when dealing with such matters. Investigate the whole story. Donât unjustly accuse the wrong students.â
âDefinitely.â The principal smiled politely, but he knew that it was a warning to him. He couldnât help but glare at Teacher Lu again.
Teacher Lu couldnât take it anymore. He stepped forward and said to Tang Beibei, âTang Beibei, Ruan Qi, it was my negligence before. Please forgive me.â âOf course. As long as you help to supervise Yuan Jiaojiao and stop her from harming others.â Ruan Qi said with a fake smile.
Teacher Luâs lips twitched awkwardly. âIâll supervise her. If she gives you trouble again, come to me and 1â11 definitely uphold justice for you.â
Jiang Jingchen was impatient as he listened to their small talk. He held Tang Beibeiâs hand. Tang Beibei looked at him and immediately understood.
Tang Beibei said, âTeacher, Principal, my husband is not feeling well. Heâs a little tired. Weâll take our leave first.â
She pushed his wheelchair out of the staffroom. The principal and Teacher Lu both walked over to see them off. After they left, the principal let out a sigh of relief.
Teacher Lu was scared and asked carefully, âPrincipal, who is that man in the wheelchair?â
The principal replied, âHeâs the first young master of the wealthy Jiang family. Although heâs sick, as long as heâs not dead, heâs still a member of the Jiang family. Heâs not someone you and I can afford to offend.â
When Teacher Lu heard that he was the first young master of the Jiang family, he was even more scared.
This first young master wasnât scary, but the Jiang family and Old Master Jiang were very scary. Tang Beibei was married to the first young master. Didnât that mean that she was the first young madam of the Jiang family?
Teacher Lu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Fortunately, this matter did not escalate. If it did, he would definitely be in trouble.
The principal chuckled and berated him. âBe more careful in future. Pay close attention to Tang Beibei. Donât let such a thing happen again!â
âYes, yes. Iâll definitely pay more attention to the young madam of the Jiang family.â Teacher Lu said quickly.
Tang Beibei had no idea that she had become the center of her teacherâs attention because of this matter.
When she pushed the wheelchair to the door, she heard Jiang Jingchen say, âIâll treat you and your classmate to lunch.â
âAll, didnât you want to go home to drink your medicine?â
âI lied to them. 1 donât drink medicine now.â Jiang Jingchen looked at Ruan Qi again and said, âI wonder if Ruan Qi would allow me to treat her to a feast and also have her face checked out.â
Ruan Qiâs face was still red from the slap..
