Chapter 197 - 197: Boasting About Her Daughter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Misfortune loomed over Mei Mu, so how could Li Hua not be happy?

The police glanced at Mei Mu, then confirmed with the teacher once again before nodding and saying, “Take her away!”

This caused an uproar in the classroom.

How could the grade director allow someone to take their school’s student away right in front of him?

Even though Mei Mu was about to leave the school, the grade director still wanted to ask a few more questions to prevent her from causing trouble outside and tarnishing the school’s reputation.

Once the police understood that he was the grade director of the senior grade, they were willing to explain, “We are investigating a rape case, and based on the current investigation, it is related to Mei Mu. We need to take her to the station for questioning.”

“What? It’s that kind of case?” The expressions of the others changed immediately when they looked at Mei Mu.

Even the two teachers had complex looks in their eyes. “Is there some misunderstanding here? She’s just a girl, she shouldn’t be related to this kind of case, right?”

“The evidence is conclusive, and we have the authority to take her with us.” The captain signaled to the two police officers behind him without any expression on his face. “Take her away!”

His words brooked no objections.

Mei Mu was immediately escorted out of the classroom by two officers, one on each side.

“Teacher! I’m innocent! Please save me!” Mei Mu was now completely panicked.

Being expelled from school was embarrassing, but with time, people might forget about it. However, once she was associated with such a case and publicly taken away by the police, the situation would be entirely different.

She might carry an indelible stain for the rest of her life.

The grade director wanted to inquire about the situation, but he didn’t know the police officers who came this time. It wouldn’t be appropriate to interfere.

Especially when they had clearly stated that the evidence was conclusive.

Persisting in questioning might even lead to charges of obstructing official duties.

The news of Mei Mu being taken away by the police spread throughout the entire campus in an instant.

Meanwhile, Wang Yue, having sold two of her shops, was leisurely playing mahjong at another wealthy woman’s house.

During the card game, someone brought up whether Mei Mu had been kicked out of home by Mei Yun.

Wang Yue’s hand stopped for a moment, and she immediately frowned, retorting, “What are you talking about? My husband dotes on our daughter Mei Mu the most. How could he kick her out? It was Mei Mu herself who found our house too noisy with so many people and wanted to move out!”

A nearby wealthy woman smirked incredulously.

Wang Yue became agitated and temporarily put aside her mahjong tiles. She raised her voice to argue, “Why are you laughing? Can I even lie to you? Let me tell you, our Mumu has grown up and wants to be independent! 1 keep telling her she’s still young and can rely on her parents, but she just won’t listen. She insists on doing everything herself! There aren’t many children as sensible as our Mumu!”

Seeing that Wang Yue was getting upset, Mrs. Han, the hostess, smiled and said, “Mumu is indeed obedient and sensible. I envy you for having such a well-behaved daughter!”

“Of course!” Wang Yue, upon hearing someone praise Mei Mu, became even more pleased. She couldn’t help but boast to others, “You guys don’t know, before the exams this time, Mumu promised me that she would definitely rank in the top ten in her grade! Not only is she sensible, but she also strives for excellence. She’s so much better than some people’s useless sons!”

As she said this, she kept her eyes fixed on Mrs. Li, who had mocked her earlier.

Mrs. Li and Wang Yue didn’t get along well. If it weren’t for Mrs. Han’s sake, she wouldn’t have wanted to play mahjong with Wang Yue.

Now, hearing Wang Yue openly mock her son, she naturally felt compelled to retort, albeit unhappily, “My son may not have good academic performance, but he’s been smart since he was a child! He just doesn’t want to study! If he applied himself, he would have ranked in the top three in his grade long ago!”

“You’re really exaggerating.” Wang Yue disdainfully curled her lips. “Everyone knows your son’s grades. He only has a little over a hundred points in total for all seven subjects combined! 1 think you should stop playing mahjong here and start saving more money to send your son to a decent university!”

“You!” Mrs. Li glared at her angrily but was left speechless by Wang Yue.

With a triumphant look, Wang Yue lowered her head to look at her mahjong tiles. Just then, her phone on the table rang, so she picked it up to answer the call.

“Hello? Teacher! Why are you calling me? Did my daughter Mei Mu really rank in the top ten in her grade? She’s such a hardworking girl! I’ve always said that I don’t care about her academic performance as long as she works hard. But she insists on studying so hard. Tell me, if she ruins her health, how will that be good?”

She knew it was the grade director calling, and she was feeling quite proud. She put the call on speakerphone so that the other wealthy women could hear the teacher praising her daughter.

Mrs. Li’s face turned from red to pale with anger, and she angrily pushed her mahjong tiles away. She had no intention of continuing the game now!

“Mei Mu’s parents, you’ve misunderstood,” the grade director sighed deeply. “I didn’t call to talk about her grades. And Mei Mu didn’t make it to the top ten this time..”
