“Did you see that?” Zheng Anyang didn’t waste any time and directly retorted, “Did you see Ye Lengan behave badly indecently?”

Hu Ping was rendered speechless by his question. After a long while, she finally stammered, “But now, all the people on campus are spreading the rumor that Ye Leng’an is being kept as a mistress.”

“Do you have any evidence?” Zheng Anyang didn’t give Hu Ping any face at all. He immediately scolded, “You’re a teacher, but you listened to those rumors and used these malicious thoughts to speculate about your student. Do you think you’re eligible of being a teacher?”

Hu Ping had no way to refute these words. However, even though she did not retort, it did not mean that she was convinced. She didn’t feel that she wronged Ye Leng’an. She just felt a little regretful that she brought this matter to the principal without any evidence.

Zhao Yanran’s exultant mood was dampened. At this moment, she felt a little regretful that she made such a big deal out of it. Before coming here, she was still very confident, but now that she saw the principal’s attitude, she felt a little afraid.

Then, Zheng Anyang turned to look at Ye Leng’an and said, “Ye Leng’an, you’re the victim in this matter. How do you plan to resolve this?”

The rumor this time could be considered an oversight on his part. If he had stopped it earlier, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened. Today, he stood on Ye Leng’an’s side. Firstly, he believed that Ye Leng’an was not such a person. Secondly, he valued Ye Leng’an’s ability. According to the result of the previous exam, Ye Leng’an would very likely be the top scorer in the college entrance examination two years later.

“Zhao Yanran slandered me for no reason. Teacher Hu didn’t know right from wrong and was biased toward Zhao Yanran. I want them to publicly apologize to me at the school meeting on Monday.” Ye Leng’an directly stated her request. “Also, I want to be transferred out of Teacher Hu’s class.”

“That’s impossible.” Before Zheng Anyang could agree, Hu Ping interrupted,

“Ye Leng’an, don’t push your luck. I won’t apologize in front of so many people. If you had behaved yourself normally, why would these rumors have been spread?”

“Teacher Hu.” Zheng Anyang scolded, “You still haven’t realized your mistake!”

Hu Ping gritted her teeth. Though she did not retort, it was obvious that she would never apologize to Ye Leng’an in front of so many students.

She knew very well that if she really apologized to Ye Leng’an in front of the entire school and admitted that she was in the wrong, then she would lose all her authority among the students and become a joke in Sheng’an. How would she manage her class in the future?

“Zhao Yanran, what do you say?” Zheng Anyang ignored Hu Ping and looked at Zhao Yanran. “You started this matter first and ruined Ye Leng’an’s reputation. Do you think you should apologize?”

“Principal, I wasn’t the only one who said that Ye Leng’an was being kept!” Zhao Yanran defended herself, “All the people in Sheng’an High School are discussing it, how can it be my fault alone? Besides, she, Ye Leng’an, has no evidence to prove that she is not a kept woman! When did I ruin her reputation? She’s the one who doesn’t know how to behave herself.” Looking at Zhao Yanran’s confident expression, Zheng Anyang frowned.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Zhao Yanran, I’m giving you too much credit for saying you are innocent.” Ye Leng’an laughed coldly and said, “Don’t you understand the rule that the one who claims should furnish evidence? If you don’t have evidence today to prove that I’m a kept woman, then you’re slandering me and ruining my reputation. If we go to court, it will be considered defamation.”

Hearing Ye Lengan’s words, Zhao Yanran wasn’t afraid at all. “Ye Leng’an, you don’t have to scare me, I’m not afraid of you at all.”

“Principal, it seems like Teacher Hu and Zhao Yanran have no intention of apologizing.” Ye Leng’an looked at Zheng Anyang. In that case, in order to protect my legal rights, I plan to call the police to handle this matter.”

Hearing that Ye Leng’an was going to call the police, Zheng Anyang quickly said, “There’s no need to make such a big deal out of this matter. Ye Leng’an, trust me. I will think of a way to give you justice.”

Although he was on Ye Leng’an’s side, he didn’t agree with the decision to call the police. Because no matter what the final result was, it would damage the school’s reputation.

Hu Ping and Zhao Yanran’s hearts skipped a beat when they heard that Ye Leng’an was really going to call the police.

Especially Zhao Yanran. The reason why she dared to say these things in front of Ye Leng’an was that she believed that Ye Leng’an was really being kept. Therefore, no matter what she said, Ye Leng’an would never sue her. She thought that Ye Leng’an was more afraid that things would get out of hand than she was.

However, Ye Leng’an was now saying that she wanted to call the police. This made her confidence falter..
