Meng Tao went to school early in the morning. Just as she sat down in the classroom and listened to her classmates discussing which professor would teach today, a woman who looked like a school worker came over and called her name, asking her to follow her and took her directly to the school leaders' office area.

Meng Tao had been to this place with Shen Yu a few days ago and met several of Shen Yu's teachers and senior students. At that time, they joked with Meng Tao, saying that if she encountered any problems, she could come directly here and whoever she found would solve them for her. Unexpectedly, she would really come here so soon.

But now Meng Tao couldn't figure out why she was here. She asked the woman who was looking for her and why. The woman said arrogantly: "You'll understand when you get there."

Having hit a snag, Meng Tao lost interest in asking further.

When I walked to the bottom of a four-story office building, I met Yang Yingxue, one of Shen Yu's senior sisters and Meng Tao's department head.

Director Yang came hurriedly with two people. When she saw Meng Tao, she was surprised, stopped and asked, "Taotao? What's the matter?"

"Senior Sister Yang," Meng Tao greeted with a smile, pointing to the woman leading the way in front: "She is the one who notified me to come here, and I don't even know who is looking for me."

Director Yang asked the woman, "Xiao Ruan, what's going on?"

When Xiao Ruan saw that Director Yang knew Meng Tao, he put on a smile and said, "Ah, it's Vice President Liang who wants to see Meng Tao. I don't know what it is about."

Director Yang nodded to Meng Tao and said, "Okay, Vice President Liang's office is on the third floor. You go up first. I'll go over and take a look when I'm done with the things I'm doing."

"Okay, Senior Sister Yang, you are busy."

"Go ahead."

Meng Tao went up to Vice President Liang’s office on the third floor and saw several people in the room.

A fat middle-aged man in a black woolen Zhongshan suit was sitting behind the desk. He must be Vice President Liang. There were three women sitting on the guest sofa. Meng Tao knew two of the young women, Cen Anna and Wu You.

The other was a middle-aged woman with fashionable clothes and hairstyle, and a noble demeanor. Her facial features were 70% similar to Cen Anna's.

The staff brewed some hot tea and brought it over. When Meng Tao heard Cen Anna say, "Mom, your black tea," she couldn't help but look at them twice. If they were indeed mother and daughter, then the middle-aged woman must be Gong Wanyi.

He turned his eyes and saw Wu You next to him. His head, arms and legs were wrapped in white gauze and his face was swollen. It didn't look like a pig's head, but his eyes were black and blue, almost like a panda's.

Meng Tao understood immediately: Wu You reported Yang Jiali to the school for beating someone, and she was asked to be a witness.

Meng Tao first politely greeted the fat man behind the office desk: "Hello, Vice President Liang, I am Meng Tao."

Wu You stared at Meng Tao with spitting fire in his eyes, his face twisted, as if he wanted to eat someone. He pointed at Meng Tao and cursed, "That's the Meng Tao! She takes human life lightly and doesn't help people in danger. She is a vicious woman with no morals or conscience, worse than an animal!"

Meng Tao: “…” She wanted to retort, “Are you a beast?”, but she was afraid of insulting a beast, so she gave up.

Vice Principal Liang was just smiling and being polite with Gong Wanyi, but now he looked at Meng Tao and his face turned serious: "Meng Tao, according to Wu You, she was attacked and beaten near the parking lot after school yesterday afternoon, and you saw the beating when you went to get your car, why didn't you stop it? Why didn't you save her?

You watched Wu You being beaten and seriously injured, don't you have any sympathy? This incident has extremely bad influence and serious consequences...Meng Tao, you have to bear a great responsibility!"

Wu You shouted, "Vice Principal Liang, she is in cahoots with that Yang Jiali! I want them to go to jail, and I want them to stay there the rest of the time!"

Meng Tao is not a saint. It would be strange for her to help people who insult her.

I said to Vice President Liang: "I hope the school can investigate based on the facts and not accuse me right away. First of all, I didn't see this student Wu You yesterday; secondly, I certainly have sympathy, but not excessively. My sympathy is only for good people and those who deserve it."

"Meng Tao, what do you mean by saying this?" Cen Anna stood up and asked.

"Don't you understand what people are saying? Literally."

"She lied! She lied with her eyes wide open, bitch!"

Wu You also wanted to stand up, but failed. He scratched around in frustration: "How dare you say you didn't see me yesterday? Your car was parked there, and you went to get it. I shouted your name, but you didn't react at all and just drove away! You damn coward!"

The more she spoke, the more hateful she became. She grabbed her schoolbag with her uninjured hand and tried to throw it at Meng Tao.

Meng Tao: "I didn't see you, that's why I didn't see you. What do you want to do? Hit me? I don't think you have the guts to do that in the principal's office!"

Wu You was like a lit firecracker, unable to bear the slightest provocation, and really threw her schoolbag at Meng Tao. With a "bang", she kicked her foot back like a key, hitting Wu You's hanging arm. Wu You screamed in pain, and the vice-principal's office seemed like a slaughterhouse.

Anna Cen seemed to be frightened, staring at Meng Tao in shock: "Oh my God! How could you hit someone? You are a college student, you are so barbaric!"

"Xiaoyou! Xiaoyou, don't move, let your aunt take a look... Ouch, the wound here is bleeding! Vice Principal Liang, what should we do?"

Gong Wanyi checked her niece's arm and started shouting. The two women's high-pitched screams came one after another. Vice Principal Liang was so panicked that he could not sit still. He quickly got down from his seat and hurriedly called for someone to call the school doctor.

Gong Wanyi still remembers accusing Meng Tao: "...What kind of behavior is this? How dare you hit someone in front of the principal and the teacher? It's simply lawless!"

Meng Tao: "Comrade, you are scolding the wrong person. The lawless one is Wu You. She hit me first, and I was just defending myself."

"The adults are talking, why are you butting in? Do you have any manners? How presumptuous!"

Gong Wanyi angrily said to Vice President Liang: "How can such a barbaric and rude student exist in a prestigious university like Peking University? It is really a disgrace! Vice President Liang, please re-examine Meng Tao's admission qualifications. I seriously suspect that she is in cahoots with the student who murdered Wu You! They are morally corrupt, rude and barbaric. They are not worthy of being students of Peking University. They must have entered through the backdoor. They must be expelled immediately!"

Vice President Liang: "You are right..."

Meng Tao: "Excuse me, ma'am, who are you? You said you would expel him, so you expel him. Could it be that Beijing University is run by your family? Do you have such a great ability?"

"You..." Gong Wanyi's face turned purple and she was speechless.

Anna Cen came up to protect Gong Wanyi: "Meng Tao! Don't be rude to my mother, apologize to my mother now!"
