To stand up so defiantly in the principal's office, in front of the principal and members of the parents' meeting, meant that being expelled was a foregone conclusion.

Even if Xie Li has a perfect score on the encyclopedia, so what? Her character is tainted, and probably no prestigious university will dare to accept her in the future.

Jiang Yifan thought even further ahead. He knew that Wenling thought highly of Ming Xiaoxiao and had been tutoring her privately recently.

He kicked Xie Li out of Linjiang No.1 Middle School, which was a way of venting Wenling's anger. He could then ask Wenling for credit, and with Ming Xiaoxiao pleading on his behalf, Wenling might agree to tutor him.

Jiang Yifan has always been ambitious. Although his abilities are limited, it does not stop him from wanting to climb the ranks.

He was calculating rapidly in his mind, while Qian's mother's sharp and piercing voice rang in his ears.

"You just complained that I said something rude, so why did you do that kind of thing? I've seen plenty of girls like you, who will do anything to get some money to buy clothes and bags and splurge!"

"Ten thousand yuan may only be the price of a handbag in your eyes, but it is the living expenses of an ordinary family for one or two years!"

This statement completely ignited the atmosphere in the office.

Linjiang No.1 Middle School has many wealthy students, but also many students from middle-class families.

Many of these people come from impoverished backgrounds and have worked hard to get to where they are today, so they understand all the hardships that ordinary people face.

The phrase "a bag costs 100,000 yuan" is too easy to trigger their sensitive nerves.

Everyone was indignant and demanded an immediate explanation from the principal.

Just then, Xie Li suddenly raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the table.

The loud noise seemed to reverberate in everyone's ears, causing their hearts to tremble and them to fall silent, turning to look at the source of the sound.

Xie Li looked up at everyone, her eyes clear and pure: "Who said I squandered the money?"

She didn't actually want to slam her fist on the table, but there was nothing she could do. These people just loved to talk to themselves and wouldn't listen to anyone else.

Then she wouldn't mind using her aura to intimidate, just like Shen Tiezhu taught her.

The scene was inexplicably shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and many parents looked at the girl in front of them with confusion.

Why did I suddenly feel that the girl had such an imposing aura, as if she had been in a superior position for a long time, making me feel intimidated and want to avoid her gaze for a moment?

Qian's mother was pulled hard by the person next to her before she realized what was happening.

She shouted, her voice trembling with fear, "Who knows what you did with it? You didn't mean to use it for charity, did you? That's ridiculous!"

Her loud voice finally broke the inexplicable oppressive atmosphere, and everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief, only to become furious immediately.

Xie Li actually dared to slam his fist on the table? In front of a group of elders and teachers?

Just as Qian's mother was about to speak up for her, there was another knock on the principal's office door.

The one who came in this time was the Dean of Students. As soon as he saw the situation inside the room, his face darkened.

Seeing that others were agreeing with her, Qian's mother raised her voice even louder: "You're just extorting money, you're morally corrupt..."

"Who said Xie Li is a blackmailer and has a bad character?" the head of the teaching department retorted angrily. "This parent, please don't make hasty judgments and slander our student!"

The parents, who were mostly familiar with the head of the teaching department, were in an uproar upon seeing this.

The dean of students is actually defending Xie Li? Isn't he always supposed to be fair and impartial?

The principal was also somewhat surprised, "Director Zhang, what's going on here...?"

The head of academic affairs placed a stack of documents on the principal's desk.

He immediately put his hands on his hips, his voice full of anger and energy: "Xie Li did accept that 100,000 yuan, but she didn't squander the money on herself!"
