One student from Class One was outraged: "How dare you talk to us like that? What kind of people do you take us for?"
"We're not gossipy women, would we just blurt out something like this?"
"Don't worry, Bai Jiaojiao, we know how serious this is. You're just a young girl, it's not easy for you. You should talk to the teacher right away and find out who wrote it."
"Hey, who was the first one to arrive in the classroom today? Did you see anyone?" someone asked.
Bai Jiaojiao was touched. To be honest, she didn't usually interact much with these classmates, but everyone was willing to believe her and care about her, and even helped her find out who was spreading rumors.
The first student to arrive at the classroom was from Class 1. Bai Jiaojiao recognized him but couldn't remember his name. He said, "I didn't see anyone. I started writing as soon as I came in. I don't know if I started writing early or if it started writing last night after everyone else had finished class."
"Thank you, classmate. I will explain the situation to the teacher."
"You don't need to thank me."
The student was a little embarrassed, saying there was no need to thank him.
In her past life, as soon as Bai Jiaojiao was admitted to university and came to Yancheng, she went to the Ding family to share the good news and even suggested that she wanted to go back to live at home. Therefore, Ding Shifang's methods came much earlier than they do now.
Her classmates at the time didn't know her at all, and they wouldn't listen to her side of the story. After all, most people are people who love to watch the drama and don't care if it doesn't concern them, so the story quickly spread.
What Ding Shifang didn't expect was that most of her classmates trusted Bai Jiaojiao after spending more than a year together and were willing to cover up the matter for the sake of her future reputation and prospects. Even if not everyone cooperated, a few people would just gossip about it and people would only listen to it as a little story to talk about over tea. After the initial surprise, it would be over and it wouldn't spread on a large scale.
"I'm sorry for taking up everyone's time. I'm going to talk to our homeroom teacher about this right now!"
Bai Jiaojiao left the classroom, and Xu Yue quickly grabbed her schoolbag and followed with Shu Manling.
“We’ll go with you. We’re both eyewitnesses and we can testify for you.” Shu Manling held Bai Jiaojiao’s hand, her calloused hand surprisingly strong.
Xu Yue said, "Why don't you call Shen Heng along and have him prove that there's nothing wrong with your lifestyle!"
“Shen Heng is currently on a business trip with his teacher, but it doesn’t matter, we don’t need him for this.”
The three went to Huang Shifeng's office, where Huang Shifeng was worrying about how to write the semester summary for the class teacher.
Hearing the three explain their purpose, he was very surprised: "How could this happen? Bai Jiaojiao, have you had a conflict with someone recently? Or have you been getting too close to a teacher, causing misunderstandings?"
"Teacher, you know how honest Bai Jiaojiao is usually. She does nothing but study hard every day. Her grades have never fallen out of the top five in the grade. She does well in every subject. Is it considered being too close to the teacher when she asks the teacher questions?"
Once Xiao Paozhang spoke, Huang Shifeng was at a loss for what to do.
"Stop for a second, stop for a second. Squad leader, what's your opinion?"
Huang Shifeng trusted the steady and reliable Shu Manling more than Xu Yue.
Shu Manling said, "Teacher, I'm close to Bai Jiaojiao, but I believe she's not doing it for personal reasons. Xu Yue is right. Bai Jiaojiao is capable of achieving excellent grades on her own, her family is well-off, and her boyfriend is also a student at our school. If they work together, their future will definitely be bright. What reason would she have to risk having an affair with a married teacher?"
Shu Manling's explanation was logical and reasonable, and Huang Shifeng nodded: "You're right, even the teacher doesn't believe it. Bai Jiaojiao is a good classmate, this must be someone spreading rumors. Do you have any clues yourself? Have you been having a bad relationship with anyone lately?"
Huang Shifeng was actually a little nervous, and he also suspected Chen Meizhen.
If Chen Meizhen did this, once it's found out, her probation will turn into expulsion.
Bai Jiaojiao directly told everyone about her relationship with Ding Shifang. When she recounted her difficult past, all the other teachers in Huang Shifeng's office perked up their ears to listen.
Xu Yue also covered her mouth: "Bai Jiaojiao, I've never heard of these things before."
“I originally planned to cut all ties with them and pretend that the baby swap never happened. It would be quite ridiculous to say it out loud, so I didn’t. But last time we met at a restaurant outside the school, she threatened me and told me to leave Yancheng or she would force me to leave.”
Bai Jiaojiao said to Huang Shifeng.
Huang Shifeng listened as if it were a story: "If your matter involves things outside of school, I might not be able to help you with this."
"It's alright, teacher. If you're having any trouble, I can call the police station."
“Well…” Reporting it to the police station would be too serious. Just as Huang Shifeng was thinking this, Chen Meizhen came in.
"Teacher, don't just listen to their side of the story. You know how good their relationship is."
"Chen Meizhen, what are you doing here?" Huang Shifeng felt a headache coming on when he saw Chen Meizhen.
He wasn't actually familiar with Chen Bingrui. Although they were teachers at the same college, they hadn't interacted much before. After all, he was just a junior lecturer, and Chen Bingrui had no reason to curry favor with him.
However, after Chen Meizhen was disciplined, Chen Bingrui started dating him and gave him gifts, asking him to be more tolerant of Chen Meizhen. His demands were not high; he just wanted to keep an eye on Chen Meizhen and ensure she could graduate safely. He felt it would be unreasonable to refuse, which gave him a headache, since Chen Meizhen was not exactly a well-behaved classmate.
When Huang Shifeng saw that she was going to get involved in this matter, he really wanted to sew her mouth shut.
