Chapter 123: Many Doubts

I looked at Song Le gratefully and politely asked him to leave: "Well, thank you. You should go back early too. I'm sorry to bother you today."

After Song Le left, my mother came out of the room and began to cry non-stop: "Daughter, I really didn't hurt anyone! You must let Jiang Yichen find out the truth. I don't want to be arrested and go to jail!"

Listening to my mother's crying, I felt even more irritated. I tried to calm myself down: "Mom, I know. I'll tell him. You go and have a rest first."

But my mother was not reassured and continued to nag: "You must explain it to him clearly! We really didn't hurt anyone! I don't want to lose you!"

I finally couldn't help it and raised my voice: "Mom! I know! You go and rest first! I want to rest too!"

After saying that, I turned back to my room and closed the door forcefully.

Leaning against the door, I closed my eyes, my heart filled with fatigue and helplessness.

The next day, as I walked into the school, I heard someone calling me.

When I looked up, it was Song Yuan and a few classmates.

I frowned, knowing they had no good intentions, but I no longer had the energy to deal with them.

I turned around to leave, but was stopped by several of them.

"Oh, isn't this the murderer's daughter?" Song Yuan said sarcastically.

My face turned pale instantly and my shoulders trembled slightly.

I widened my eyes, glared at Song Yuan, and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say?"

Song Yuan seemed not to hear what I said, and continued to say in a mocking tone: "What? You dare not admit that you did something wrong? Your mother is a murderer!"

I was shaking with anger.

The students around me also started whispering and looking at me strangely.

Faced with the contempt and insults from Song Yuan and other classmates, the anger in my heart was finally completely ignited.

My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can’t. Before, I ignored her for Song Le’s sake.

You can bully me, but you can never talk nonsense about my mother.

I no longer tolerated it and started to yell at them, with a bit of determination and anger in my voice.

Seeing this, Song Yuan challenged even more arrogantly, "What? You killed someone and you don't dare to admit it? You and your mother are the same!"

I was so angry that my face turned red. I threw down my schoolbag, rolled up my sleeves, pushed her away and yelled at her.

"Don't spread rumors here. My mother didn't kill anyone."

I watched Song Yuan stagger and almost fall.

Seeing this, the classmates next to her came forward and pushed me. I staggered two steps, steadied myself, and pushed them away with all my strength, not wanting to be outdone.

Song Yuan suddenly shouted, "Look, this is how her mother pushed people down the stairs!"

I heard her making up rumors and loudly defended myself: "You are talking nonsense! My mother never pushed anyone down the stairs!"

Song Yuan and her classmates ignored my explanation and continued to insult and attack me.

I couldn't stand it anymore and was about to fight back.

"Stop!" The principal suddenly appeared and shouted sternly.

He stared at us with wide eyes, his tone filled with anger and disappointment.

Seeing this, Song Yuan immediately complained: "Principal, she was the first to start! Look, she pushed me down!"

The principal carefully observed the situation at the scene and did not believe what Song Yuan said.

His expression was serious. "I saw clearly that you were the first to provoke me. Now, you have to run five laps around the playground as punishment!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yuan and her classmates showed reluctance on their faces.

"Why?"

"That's right, Principal, you are..."

A few people around her wanted to speak, but the principal glared at them and said, "Do you want to be expelled?"

After hearing that they were going to be expelled, Song Yuan wanted to say something, but the principal made them behave themselves: "If you think I am biased, then please ask your parents to come over."

A few of them got scared and went to the playground mumbling something.

When he passed by me, he glared at me fiercely and warned me, "Just wait for me."

I stood straight and looked straight ahead.

The principal turned to look at me, and his tone was surprisingly gentle: "Come with me to the office."

I nodded and followed the principal to the office with confusion.

When I got to the office, the principal asked me with concern: "Were you injured just now?"

I shook my head obediently.

The principal seemed relieved: "If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me directly."

"Thank you for your concern, Principal. I'm sorry for the trouble." I nodded obediently and thanked him politely.

I don't know why the principal suddenly cares about me so much? I looked at him puzzled.

The principal seemed to see my doubts and started talking about other topics.

"How are your studies going lately?"

“Are your roommates nice to you?”

"If you have any difficulties, please tell me."

…

I couldn't help it, so I asked cautiously, "Principal, is there anything I can help you with?"

After some preparation, he finally got to the point.

The principal smiled awkwardly and said, "No, I just hope you can say a few good words to President Jiang, because the school plans to renovate the teaching building and library, and urgently needs financial support."

My heart sank as I understood what the principal meant. Jiang Yichen and I are not as close as the outside world says.

And Jiang Yichen doesn't want others to know about our relationship.

In order to prevent the principal from further misunderstanding, I clarified: "Principal, Mr. Jiang and I actually have no relationship, and he probably won't listen to me. You should go and talk to him yourself."

Upon hearing this, the principal showed a look of disappointment on his face.

But he still managed a smile, his face became much colder: "Student Gu, everything depends on human effort, you should try your best and fight for the school."

"Principal...I'm sorry, I can't do anything."

Fight for your head! You have no ability, so you focus on me.

I would rather have a fight with Song Yuan than anything else. At worst I'll just get beaten unilaterally, I complained in my heart.

After school, I walked home alone.

As I walked, I thought about my mother being falsely accused of murder.

My mother doesn't even dare to step on an ant to death. I don't believe that she kills people.

Moreover, the incident happened too suddenly and there are many doubts.
