Only then did Su Chenhao release Qiao Xiaoni's hand and walk up to the teacher and principal.

“You must give me an explanation for this. She splashed someone with boiling water, which is no different from murder. This must be dealt with seriously.”

Yu Lili felt completely overwhelmed; what did these two want to do?

"I will definitely handle this seriously, don't worry about it."

Su Chenhao's cold gaze swept over the crowd as he spoke again, "What happened just now was too dangerous, so we won't be attending the ceremony. Remember what I said before: if you can't give us a satisfactory answer, I will go to the higher authorities for an explanation."

Reporting the incident to the police will at most result in a reprimand and education; since no substantial harm has been caused, the punishment won't be too severe. It's better to handle it through the school.

"Well... alright!" Yu Lili had no reason to refuse; who knew what might happen next?

Su Chenhao turned back and took Qiao Xiaoni's hand. "Let's go."

Qiao Xiaoni felt he was very domineering, so she obediently followed him.

Xue Fanlin watched them walk away and gave a bitter smile. He didn't know whether he should be happy or regretful...

Qiao Xiaoni had looked at him with that gaze before, but at that time she didn't care at all, and even felt a bit disgusted.

That look no longer belongs to me, and I feel an indescribable pain in my heart. Actually, all this trouble stemmed from resentment. It's so hard to accept when something is within your grasp, and then suddenly you're told it's no longer yours.

The hot water that Cai Tingting had just poured out had completely sobered him up. He had almost made a terrible mistake. If he had been arrested and imprisoned, what would have happened to his parents?

Cai Tingting calmed down at this point and struggled desperately, pleading with the two teachers beside her.

"Teacher, I was wrong. I didn't mean to. Please let me go!"

Yu Lili walked over and said, "Do you know what happens when a pot of hot water is splashed on a person's face?"

If she were disfigured, Qiao Xiaoni's life would be ruined.

How could someone so young be so vicious? I will contact your parents and have them come over to handle this matter. They must give Qiao Xiaoni a clear explanation.

As the head of a school, she couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if this matter wasn't handled properly. The man's eyes were cold, and she had a premonition that if things weren't done as he said, the consequences would be severe.

Cai Tingting stopped struggling. "You can't call my mom and dad. This has nothing to do with them. I only wanted to throw hot water on her because I was so angry."

"Isn't she alright now?"

Yu Lili looked at her with disappointment, "It's precisely because no one was hurt that we didn't report it."

If something had happened to you, you would have been taken away by the police by now. Would you still be here talking to me?

Cai Tingting panicked. She had acted impulsively when she splashed the hot water, thinking it was like when she poured water on her brother's face at home...

The thought of it being scalding hot water, and what if it were splashed on my face...

Yu Lili said to the teacher next to her, "Call her family and tell them to come to school today. We must deal with this matter seriously."

Teacher Zhou nodded in agreement, turned around, and jogged away to make a phone call.

Yu Lili was furious when she thought about how the ceremony she had been preparing for for more than ten days had been ruined by these two troublemakers. She was speechless with anger.

Xue Fanlin finally realized that he had to extricate himself from this situation; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to attend university. Thinking this, he adjusted his glasses.

"Principal, this has nothing to do with me. It was all Cai Tingting's doing. I didn't instruct her!"
