For the entire morning, all those who spread the rumors were invited to the principal's office and questioned. As more and more people went there, the faces of the principal, the dean of studies, and the class teachers could not be described as bad.
The students who were called over also realized that the facts they had told were actually rumors. They had become a knife in other people's hands, and they were the ones stabbing their classmates. This made them extremely ashamed.
The last people to be called into the principal's office were two female classmates from Xu Xinya's class. Both of them looked unhappy. Although they didn't want to admit it, everyone pointed at them, and they became the source of the rumors.
"My two classmates, I have never spoken a word to you. Why are you making up stories to frame me?"
Song Qinghai was really furious. He clenched his fists and asked. If his mother, the principal, the director, and the class teacher were not there, he would have wanted to grab them by the collar and ask them how he had offended them.
"Xu Xinya said so."
One of them said angrily.
"Oh? She said in person that she had sex with my son?"
Lian Yi asked directly.
Now neither of them responded. Lian Yi turned to Lu Fang and said:
"Director Lu, could you please ask Xu Xinya to come over? After all, she is also the protagonist of the rumor. She has the responsibility to come out and explain the situation. After all, it concerns her and my son's reputation."
This time Lu Fang did not object, she also wanted to hear what Xu Xinya had to say.
Five minutes later, Xu Xinya was brought into the principal's office. Looking at the students standing in the room, she nervously grasped the corner of her clothes, greeted the teachers present, and then stood aside with her head down, not daring to say a word.
"Student Xu Xinya, Liu Li said you should tell her that you and Song Qinghai have gone beyond being classmates."
Lu Fang considered her words carefully and spoke as tactfully as possible.
Xu Xinya raised her head suddenly, with a look of surprise on her face, then shook her head and waved her hands, and said hurriedly:
"Teacher, no! Really not! Classmate Song and I are not like what the rumors say."
"Don't be anxious. Take your time."
Lu Fang asked softly.
“Because my father was sent to a labor camp, some classmates said I was the child of a criminal and not a good student, and should not be studying in the same class with them, so they bullied me, poured mop water on me, and tore up my books.
Once they threw my schoolbag out of the window. When I went to pick it up, they splashed water on me again. In order to keep my books from getting wet, I became a drowned chicken. Song Qinghai happened to pass by. He scolded the students in our class and lent me his school uniform jacket to prevent me from making a fool of myself.
After I went home and washed my school uniform, I found an opportunity to return it to Song and thank him. He was the only classmate who helped me, and I was very grateful to him.
But later, I don’t know how some bad rumors started, and I stood up to deny it, and they just…just…just said that we slept in the same bed, so they must be on Song’s side.”
When he spoke the latter part, the sound was like the hum of a mosquito, but everyone present heard it. These words were really unpleasant to these students.
"Bah! You clearly said you liked each other!"
Liu Li immediately became unwilling and stood up to refute.
"I didn't! I just admire Song. He won't bully me just because my father is in prison! He treats me the same as other classmates. He is my role model!"
Xu Xinya said firmly.
After hearing this, the principal, director and class teacher, who had experienced it, all understood that it was Song Qinghai who helped the bullied Xu Xinya, and the little girl secretly fell in love with Song.
As a result, the female classmates in her class couldn't stand it, and because Xu Xinya returned the school uniform to Song, they began to make up rumors. Later, the rumors spread and became more and more unpleasant, causing trouble for Song Qinghai.
When the kid’s mother found out, she was unhappy and came straight to the school to make a scene.
Now that the truth has been revealed, everyone is silent. Those students who participated in spreading the rumors all hung their heads to their chests. They never thought that just a few specious jokes would cause Song Qinghai to be caught up in rumors.
Ripples swept across the faces of everyone present, and finally fixed their gaze on Xu Xinya's small face, saying meaningfully:
"Xu Xinya, you and my son are both victims in this matter, but because of what happened, I hope you will not have any contact with my son in the future.
After all, my son was slandered by some people because he helped you. If he were a girl, she would have jumped off the building by now. So, considering that my son has helped you, let's just be strangers from now on!
Please understand the heart of a mother!"
"It's not all my fault. I won't get close to classmate Song anymore."
Xu Xinya lowered her head with red eyes. Only Liu Li glared at her hatefully, ignoring everyone around her.
Lian Yi's eyes flashed, and then she turned to the principal and said:
"Principal, now that the truth has been revealed, as a parent I hope that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future. After all, school is a place to cultivate talents, not a place to spread rumors."
"Yes! Yes! Yes! You are quite right."
Lianyi then stood up, holding her small cloth bag and came to Song Qinghai, helped her adopted son straighten his clothes, and said with a smile:
"Mom, I'm sorry to have delayed your class today. Now that things have been made clear, you should focus on your studies from now on and don't worry about other things. These are not your business."
"Mom, I've got it!"
Song Qinghai's eyes sparkled and he thought his mother was really amazing.
"Principal, excuse me for disturbing you. I'll take my leave now."
Lianyi took her son and left the principal's office. When they separated, she said:
"Xiao Hai, stay away from Xu Xinya if you see her next time."
"Why?"
"She was the one who said that you two liked each other. It was because of this sentence that the rumors that followed were spread."
"But didn't she deny it?"
Song Qinghai said with some surprise.
"Just because you deny it, can you pretend you never said it? You are too young. Wait until I get back and tell you in detail. Just remember what I said. I can't hurt you."
Lianyi glared at her adopted son and said.
"I've made a note of that."
Song Qinghai immediately nodded in agreement and went back to the classroom for class.
The school also dealt with this incident. The head teacher of the key class was replaced and was replaced by the dean of studies, Lu Fang. As for those who participated in spreading the rumors, they were asked to write a self-criticism. As the source of the rumors, Liu Li and another female classmate had their parents called in.
The farce at school finally came to an end, and Song Qinghai found out the whole story from Lianyi during dinner three days later.
"What? Mom, you said that Xu Xinya did it on purpose?"
"Um!"
“But she is also a victim!”
"This way she can achieve her goal and clear herself of all charges."
"Why?"
"Why else? Because my son is so outstanding! By marrying into our family, she can escape from her own family with no future."
