147 Are you a human or a ghost?
The three of them had just run into a brick wall. The two holding the banner saw that things were not going well and tried to run away, but they were stopped by the security guards.
The burly man was almost in tears. "I'm sorry, Teacher Xie, we didn't recognize your greatness. Please be magnanimous and let us off the hook."
Xie Yaoyao shook her head. "If I let you go today, my colleagues will think I'm guilty."
The audience burst into laughter.
Monica laughed and scolded, "Don't try to pin all the blame on us. I'm the first person to stand up for you."
"That's right, Teacher Xie, that's not fair."
Xie Yaoyao smiled helplessly, "Just kidding, just trying to lighten the mood. So, sir, have you thought this through?"
The two legs of the great Han man trembled.
"Teacher Xie, I really didn't mean to offend you, and I don't want to go to jail."
Xie Yaoyao raised an eyebrow. "What, do you all think that all beautiful women are kind-hearted?"
The audience burst into laughter again.
Monica laughed and scolded her, "You have the nerve to pat yourself on the back."
Even Principal Yang couldn't help but laugh. "I advise you to tell the truth. Teacher Xie can even tame naughty children, so you are no match for him."
The three of them looked at each other, almost in tears.
They really messed up.
"If we confess, will you really let us go?"
Xie Yaoyao nodded, "Of course, a gentleman's promise is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold."
The burly man hesitated for a few seconds, but still betrayed Chi Wanwan.
"It was Chi Wanwan, the eldest daughter of the Chi family, who sent us to smear you. She said that as long as you ruin your reputation and get expelled from school, she will give us 500,000 yuan."
Xie Yaoyao had already guessed that it was Chi Wanwan.
The only person she offended in Hong Kong was Chi Wanwan. It wasn't that she wanted to get back at her; she couldn't think of anyone else.
After all, her colleagues are a lovely bunch.
Xie Yaoyao smiled and nodded, "Alright, considering that this is your first offense and you haven't caused me any trouble, I'll let you off the hook today, but don't fall into my hands again."
She is not a saint.
But as a single woman with a family, she wanted to avoid offending people as much as possible.
The security guards were still blocking the entrance, brandishing batons to intimidate the three people.
The three of them shrank back in fright, turning around to look at Xie Yaoyao like quails.
Xie Yaoyao said, "Uncle Wu, Uncle Zheng, let them go."
The security guard then stepped aside and followed the three men.
Xie Yaoyao apologized to Principal Yang and her colleagues, then returned to sit down next to Monica.
Principal Yang continued speaking on the stage, while Monica moved closer to Xie Yaoyao.
"Teacher Xie, is your new house really near the Arc de Triomphe?"
Xie Yaoyao knew that Arc de Triomphe was one of the top-tier residential developments in Hong Kong.
To afford a house there, you'd need at least tens of millions.
But now that those three big men have exposed the truth, she doesn't want to keep it a secret anymore.
After all, they'll find out when the housewarming party starts in a while.
He said, "Well, to make it easier to go to work and take the kids to school, I gritted my teeth and bought an apartment closer to my workplace."
Monica couldn't help but give her a push. "You're something else! Those houses must be worth at least ten or twenty million, right?"
"I found someone I know and got a discount," Xie Yaoyao said, not going into too much detail.
Monica knew that Xie Yaoyao had signed a pledge when she took charge of that problem class in the previous year.
At the time, Principal Yang said that if she could not successfully guide these students into universities, she should stop coming to the school.
Xie Yaoyao also made a request at the time, saying that if she could get them into universities with an average score of 600, she hoped that the school would reward her with 500,000 yuan.
The amount of money wasn't much, but the students in that class all came from wealthy or influential families.
Xie Yaoyao guided those students onto the right path; which of those students' families wouldn't want to give her a house?
So Monica felt that they were practically giving it away for free.
She sighed in dismay, "You're such a lucky girl."
"Isn't it part of my strength?" Xie Yaoyao asked smugly.
Monica thought to herself that if the opportunity were presented to her to get some problem students into college with high scores, she probably couldn't do it.
Sometimes, she just wants to compete with these talented people.
"Yes, yes, you're so capable. When can I see your mansion?"
Before Xie Yaoyao could speak, the person sitting behind them leaned over and said, "Teacher Xie, I also want to see it. The Arc de Triomphe? That's a high-end residential area."
"It's not that high-end, it's all old houses."
"You have to look at the location. A view of Victoria Harbour at night sounds amazing."
Xie Yaoyao: "..."
Seeing them whispering to each other, Principal Yang glared at them and said, "You like to talk, why don't you come up on stage and tell some crosstalk?"
The group quickly sat up straight.
Principal Yang continued speaking, and after he finished, the commendation ceremony began.
Xie Yaoyao returned with a full load of awards, winning three trophies: a Chinese language group champion, a special-grade teacher award, and an outstanding homeroom teacher award.
After the commendation meeting, Xie Yaoyao returned to her office with three trophies in her arms.
Then, without stopping, he went outside the classroom and stood at the small window of the back door, secretly observing the students' class.
After finally finishing her day's work, Xie Yaoyao left the school after turning off the lights in her dormitory.
A red Maserati was parked on the side of the road, and Chi Wanwan was leaning against the car, smoking a women's cigarette like a delinquent.
When she saw Xie Yaoyao walk out of the school, she would recognize her face even if it turned to ashes.
She quickly turned her back, her heart pounding wildly. Chi Xiaoman, how could she have left school?
Wasn't she burned to death?
Xie Yaoyao had already seen Chi Wanwan. Seeing her acting suspiciously, she knew she was definitely there to cause trouble for her.
Or perhaps they've come to check on the results and see if she's been expelled from the school.
She weighed the heavy oar cup in her hand and then took a very substantial crystal glass in her hand.
If Chi Wanwan dares to harm her, she will smash her with a crystal glass and disfigure her.
Anyway, now that she has Huo Yanxi backing her up, even if she cripples Chi Wanwan, the Chi family will still have to apologize to her out of respect for Huo Yanxi.
Xie Yaoyao walked over, clutching the trophy.
"Isn't this Miss Chi? What are you doing here so late?"
Chi Wanwan's back stiffened; she naturally recognized the other person's voice.
She turned around in disbelief, looked at Chi Xiaoman's face, and heard Xie Yaoyao's voice.
She felt her life was somewhat fragmented.
Are you a human or a ghost?
Xie Yaoyao narrowed her eyes. "Miss Chi, you think you can smear me by hiring a few thugs? Isn't that a rather low tactic?"
"You are...Chi Xiaoman?" Chi Wanwan stared intently at her face. "A ghost! A ghost!"
After saying that, she opened the car door and tried to get in.
Xie Yaoyao grabbed her wrist, staring at Chi Wanwan with a dangerous look. "How do you know Chi Xiaoman?"
Chi Wanwan looked terrified, as if she had seen a ghost. Could it be...?
