Liu Xie looked at Shen Xi and said angrily, “Of course, we have to let Shen Xi get a taste of her head being forced into the toilet. Then, she has to then kneel down and apologize to Liu Cheng. Otherwise, she has to be be expelled!”

Principal Li Hai frowned. He knew Shen Xi well. She was the top student in last year’s grade two final exam, and was an outstanding student who was trying to become the top student again this year. Li Hai really did not want to expel Shen Xi.

If he made Shen Xi do all those things Liu Xie wanted, wouldn’t it affect her state of mind when preparing for the exam?

Although Zhuo Ying High School was a private school, they still had to consider the statistics of the students’ enrollment rate. If the top student came from their school, it would be beneficial for later enrollment.

“What? Do you not want to comply? Principal Li, don’t forget our family’s connections in Rongcheng. If this matter doesn’t get resolved how I want, you can start to be worried about your enrollment rate. Principal Li, do you think it’s necessary to offend so many of us for a mere poor student?” Liu Xie’s tone was calm, but every word was threatening.

Li Hai really had no choice but to say to Shen Xi, “Shen Xi, why don’t you apologize first, then I’ll inform your parents to handle the rest?”

What Li Hai was thinking now was to try his best to calm Liu Xie down. Later, he would ask Shen Xi’s parents to come to school and negotiate with Liu Xie. Perhaps this matter would be solved that way.

Sun Ling, who was standing at the side, was extremely anxious. Shen Xi was precious to her. If Shen Xi were to be expelled just like that, all her efforts would be in vain.

It was not a good decision to expel Shen Xi. First of all, the school lacked students who could potentially become the top scorer in the country. Secondly, Sun Ling lacked high-scoring students under her who would go on to compete for professional titles.

It would be even worse for Shen Xi. She was already in her third year of high school. If she were expelled, it would not be easy to find a school in Rongcheng for such a short period of time. Sun Ling was worried that being expelled would affect Shen Xi’s mental state for the exams.

“Shen Xi, why don’t you just apologize first?” Sun Ling chimed in helplessly.

Sun Ling originally thought that Shen Xi would concede for the sake of her studies. After all, with her situation at home, this was her only way into university. She had never expected that Shen Xi would rather be expelled than apologize.

Shen Xi looked at the few students at the side, who had seen her dealing with Liu Cheng in the changing room that day. However, she was not afraid. Calmly and without hesitation, she said, “I won’t apologize. Liu Cheng was in the wrong. She scolded me first. I don’t think I’m at fault.”

Zhao Yuan also said, “Principal, Liu Cheng admitted it in front of the PE teacher. She fell down herself. What does it have to do with Shen Xi?”

Liu Xie shouted sternly, “What do you mean Liu Cheng fell down herself? It was clearly Shen Xi who held Liu Chen’s head down, and made her say that she fell down herself. These students all saw it.”

The few witnesses quickly nodded and agreed, “Yes, Shen Xi was the one who held Liu Cheng’s head and kept flushing the toilet bowl.”

Zhao Yuan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Jiang Xue, who had come to watch the show, also said righteously, “I was also present at that time. It was indeed like that. I’m sorry, Xi. I can’t lie.”

“Since you said you saw me bullying Liu Cheng, why don’t you tell us how Liu Cheng scolded other people? How about that?” Shen Xi glared at Jiang Xue, who had stepped out simply to muddy the waters.

Jiang Xue said hypocritically, “I’m not sure about that. I didn’t hear it clearly at that time. Did Liu Cheng say something?”

Liu Xie looked at Jiang Xue, satisfied. If it weren’t for Jiang Xue who called him to tell him about it, he wouldn’t have known that his daughter was being bullied like this at school.

No wonder Liu Cheng suddenly wanted to apply for a leave of absence and didn’t want to go to school. Liu Xie was a big shot in Rongcheng. If people knew that he couldn’t even protect his daughter, and that his daughter was being bullied by a poor girl born from a migrant worker, his reputation would be ruined?

“Jiang Xue, Liu Cheng spoke so loudly in the changing room. How dare you say you didn’t hear?” Zhao Yuan questioned Jiang Xue. It was all she dared to do in the face of Jiang Xue’s family and connections.
