Having seen the photos sent by Gu Yao, Xian Mingyu recognized Xiao Yaran at a glance.
This girl is no simpleton; she's full of wicked schemes. Her fawning over Bai Xiaoruo like this probably isn't for anything good.
The students below watched like spectators at a play, none of them daring to step forward.
Xiao Yaran felt like her wrist was about to be broken. Who on earth was this guy? How dare he treat her like this?
At this moment, the principal and the dean of studies also rushed over.
Upon learning that Hsien Ming-yu was coming today, they immediately put down their work and came over.
Upon seeing Xian Mingyu, he bowed and scraped.
"President Xian, what brings you here? And why are you coming straight to the classrooms where the students are having classes?" The principal's face was all smiles, a far cry from his usual stern demeanor.
"Yes, Mr. Xian, I don't know what this student in your hands did that made you unhappy. You can tell us, and we will definitely deal with it severely." The dean of students glanced at Xiao Yaran, who was grimacing in pain after being caught, and was also very annoyed.
If Gu Yao and Bai Xiaoruo hadn't mentioned that Xian Mingyu was now one of the school's board members, Bai Xiaoruo would have been quite surprised to see the principal and the dean of students being so obsequious, like lapdogs.
However, why did Xian Mingyu target Xiao Ya Ran from the very beginning? Is there some kind of grudge between them?
"Uncle! Help me! What kind of lousy boss is he? Why are you afraid of him?!"
Xiao Yaran looked eagerly at the head of the teaching department who was busy wiping his sweat. Her call of "Uncle" surprised everyone around her.
No wonder no teacher ever dared to call Xiao Yaran, a student who was lazy, never handed in her homework properly, and whose exam results were terrible. No wonder she had been able to act as the school's big sister for so long, extorting protection money, leading fights, and even threatening classmates with a knife. Many students complained, but the school never dealt with her. It turns out that her uncle was the dean of students' studies.
They all covered for her.
The head of teaching glared at Xiao Ya Ran. The principal and the school board members were there; if she kept talking like that, she could get him killed!
Xuan Mingyu snorted coldly and suddenly shook off Xiao Yaran's hand, causing her to fall down in a disheveled state.
He rubbed his wrist, which had just been gripped sorely, his heart filled with hatred for Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu.
Who do they think they are, daring to treat her like that!
“Principal, I’ve heard about the list of finalists for the painting competition the day before yesterday. If you’re truly failing in your old age and incapable of being a good principal, I can easily discuss with the board of directors to have someone else take your place.” Xian Mingyu took a USB drive from his pocket and casually slipped it into the principal’s suit pocket. “This contains surveillance footage of every student submitting their artwork, as well as evidence that Xiao Yaran bribed other students. It’s enough to clear Bai Xiaoruo’s name. Whether Xiao Yaran’s painting, ‘Summer Night,’ is truly hers will be clear to you after seeing this. If you still can’t handle this, then I’m sorry, your current position should be filled by someone more impartial.”
As soon as Xian Mingyu finished speaking, Xiao Yaran immediately tried to deny it, "Impossible! Who are you trying to fool! I clearly had that surveillance footage deleted, how could you possibly have it!"
Xiao Yaran's words caused everyone present to sigh in dismay.
Even without reviewing the so-called surveillance footage, this is the most compelling evidence possible.
The appearance of the erotic palace painting in the painting competition, as well as the slander against Bai Xiaoruo, were all done by Xiao Yaran.
Words can be dangerous, and Xiao Yaran quickly shut her mouth, but it was too late.
The students below whispered among themselves, constantly discussing what had happened that noon. Those who had aided and abetted Xiao Yaran in bullying Bai Xiaoruo all lowered their heads. With Xiao Yaran's defeat, they couldn't escape either.
What they didn't expect was that Bai Xiaoruo was so unassuming and had such a powerful backer. If they had known, they should have been like Ji Shushu and spent more time with Bai Xiaoruo.
The head of the teaching department didn't dare to utter a word, as if he didn't know Xiao Yaran at all.
The principal, naturally concerned about protecting his own position, had to deal with Xiao Yaran impartially in front of everyone.
Although Xiao Yaran was unwilling to accept it, the evidence on the USB drive, combined with her previous statement, left her no chance to argue.
Xiao Yaran was taken to the principal's office, and the dean of students' affairs followed her.
The matter has been temporarily brought to a close.
"Your name is... Ji Shushu, right?" Xuan Mingyu's gaze suddenly turned to Ji Shushu.
"Yes! Cousin! Hehe, you remembered my name after I only said it once. Oh no, no, I should call you President Xian now, hehe, I didn't expect you to have such a high rank, Cousin. Xiaobai's injustice can finally be cleared." Ji Shushu scratched her head embarrassedly after being suddenly called out by Xian Mingyu.
"Please take care of Xiaoruo at school."
"Okay, okay, definitely!" Ji Shushu nodded repeatedly.
Xian Mingyu patted Bai Xiaoruo's head, leaned close to her ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "That's all I can do for you. I'll think about how to thank you when I get back. I'll come pick you up after school this afternoon."
"Xian..." Before Bai Xiaoruo could call out to Xian Mingyu, he had already hurriedly left.
Although she didn't know why he helped her and did so much for her, Bai Xiaoruo genuinely wanted to thank him.
Thank you to him for giving me the courage to go back to school.
Whatever punishment the school gives Xiao Ya Ran, even if it allows her to continue committing misdeeds at school, it doesn't matter to Bai Xiao Ruo.
