Chapter 261
Because of his honorable injury, Wang Xin was eligible to take consecutive days off on Monday and Tuesday.
During his two days of rest, he helped Yuanyuan catch up on her homework. Usually, Su Miao and others tutored him, but now it was his turn to tutor Yuanyuan, and he was so proud of it.
"Wang Xin, your grades in elementary school were worse than mine. But after going to No. 1 Middle School, they've really improved a lot. I'm so envious. It seems that good learning resources and atmosphere are really important."
"Actually, besides these two things, I'm also grateful to Su Miao and several classmates for their frequent tutoring. The most important thing is that I'm much more serious now than I was in elementary school. I study almost every day. So, Yuanyuan, as long as you put in the effort, you'll definitely see changes."
Seeing Wang Xin's serious expression, Yuanyuan burst out laughing. "It's rare for you to say this seriously. What you really mean is that you shouldn't fall in love too early and should focus more on your studies."
"Ah! You saw through me!"
…
On Tuesday, Wang Xin returned to Yongcheng and used his lunch time to go to Su Miao's house and told Su Miao everything that had happened in the past few days.
"Actually, you're the one who did the most this time. If it weren't for your reminder, I probably wouldn't have been able to save Yuanyuan in time."
"Okay, as long as Yuanyuan is fine, let's not discuss any merits between the two of us. How are things going now?"
"The police acted swiftly. The next afternoon, they gathered those people and their parents. Except for Zhang Jieqiang and Wei Xiaoyu, the others were from the town's middle school. The girl who instigated Wei Xiaoyu's attack was a notorious bad girl in their school.
Wei Xiaoyu and she were classmates in elementary school. Although they went to different junior high schools, they often made plans to play together. The other people that day were all invited by her.
Anyway, the police station's decision after negotiation is to pay compensation. Our injuries were minor, so they don't warrant jail time. Wei Xiaoyu's family paid 100, and the other families paid 50. Yuanyuan and I split it evenly, hahahaha!!!"
When it comes to dividing the money, Wang Xin is overjoyed. His parents gave him all the compensation, and he feels that he is finally wealthy.
Su Miao said with a smile: "So you can make money by getting beaten up, right?"
"Hey! You didn't see it at the scene. They were injured much more seriously than me. Even the police said that if they didn't know I was the plaintiff, they would have thought they were bullied!" Wang Xin was quite satisfied with his performance.
Su Miao then asked, "The police station will handle the compensation, but what about the school?"
"Besides the leaders from Yuanyuan School, leaders from several other schools also came that day. You didn't see how excited they were. They must have felt terribly embarrassed.
After returning, Wei Xiaoyu was expelled, and the other schools gave them serious warnings and issued reprimands. This was only possible because their parents had connections, otherwise these bad boys would have been expelled from their school. I heard they were notorious troublemakers in the school and often caused trouble.
Su Miao sneered, "So Zhang Jieqiang was the trigger, but it was just passed over so easily. Yuanyuan wouldn't have told anyone about his confession to her, so how did others know about it? And how did it reach Wei Xiaoyu's ears? If he hadn't fanned the flames, the situation wouldn't have escalated to this point."
Now that something's happened, all he gets is a few mild criticisms. He might even be proud of it and tell others about how two girls got into a fight over him and got fired.
Wang Xin got irritated thinking about Zhang Jieqiang. "He's just such a hypocritical guy. He was pretending to be pitiful the other day, pushing everything onto others and saying it had nothing to do with him. He even said he wasn't in a relationship at all and that Wei Xiaoyu just had a crush on him. Wei Xiaoyu was so pissed off that if there weren't so many people around, she might have rushed up and scratched his face."
"What I'm worried about now is the aftermath of this incident. With all the drama, including expulsion and demerits, it's bound to cause a lot of speculation among my classmates. After all, it's not a glorious thing. The school will definitely only announce the results of the handling and won't explain the whole thing.
If Zhang Jieqiang exaggerated the story and other uninformed students spread it in a distorted way, it would probably have a negative impact on Yuanyuan."
"Ah? What should I do? This kind of gossip is the most terrible and difficult to deal with. People in school love to spread this kind of gossip, and I can't shut up all the students. Then Yuanyuan will have something to cry about." Wang Xin frowned, feeling very troubled.
Su Miao thought about it carefully and said, "Since we can't stop the spread of gossip, how about taking the initiative and controlling the direction of public opinion?"
Wang Xin's eyes lit up and he said, "That's great! How do I master it? I'll do it!"
…
"Actually, I just wanted to get along well with everyone. I treat male and female classmates equally. I didn't expect things to develop to this point. I really feel guilty."
Zhang Jieqiang lowered his head, looking very sad.
This was a physical education class, free time. Some curious classmates heard that Wei Xiaoyu's expulsion was related to Zhang Jieqiang, so they took the opportunity to find out what the inside story was.
As Su Miao expected, Zhang Bailian portrayed herself as an innocent person, while Yuanyuan and Wei Xiaoyu were love-brained people who were jealous and fighting over her.
A classmate who was close to him said, "Don't feel guilty. This has nothing to do with you. The high school entrance exam is coming up soon. Don't let these things distract you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a few sarcastic words from behind.
"Wow! This is the first time I've met such a shameless person. Today I finally understand the meaning of the phrase 'turning black into white'."
"With the high school entrance exams coming up, he was able to distract himself by confessing his feelings to others. When that didn't work, he schemed to isolate and target them. Now that something's happened, not only is he cowardly, he's also trying to stigmatize the victim. How clever!"
"What you're saying is nonsense. If she wasn't smart, how could she get good grades? How could she get away with it so cleanly? Her family has connections, and the school is covering for her. But in the end, the one who suffered was the girl. She was just studying hard and didn't want to fall in love too early, but not only was she beaten for no reason, but she was also slandered. Tsk tsk tsk!"
Zhang Jieqiang stood up angrily and turned around, and saw 5 or 6 classmates behind him holding soda and snacks, who should also be taking physical education class.
"What do you mean by that? How much do you know? Now you are spreading rumors about me!"
The leader was a boy with a crew cut. He was not intimidated by Zhang Jieqiang and said loudly, "What's true can't be false, and what's false can't be true. This matter has been reported to the police station. Everyone's testimony and the final mediation result are all recorded. It's not something that can be fabricated out of thin air. Students, please don't be deceived and end up becoming accomplices in his retaliation!"
