Anna Cen: "Since we know each other, I kindly advise you to be sensible - apologize to my mother immediately, admit your mistakes, and testify for Wu You, pointing out the fact that Yang Jiali hurt Wu You. It's so simple, and you can go to college well afterwards! Otherwise, you can see now that Vice President Liang has a very good relationship with my family, and even President Zhong is my father's classmate! It's too easy to expel you from Beijing University, just a matter of a word!"
"Really? Why don't I believe it? I think you are all lying."
"Meng Tao, are you a fool?"
"Anna Cen, you are the fool, your whole family is stupid!"
“……!!!”
"What kind of person is this? Not only is she uneducated, but she is also vulgar and obscene!" Gong Wanyi was so angry that she was shaking: "Vice Principal Liang... I ask you to expel her immediately!"
"Okay, okay! Comrade Xiao Gong, don't be anxious. Sit down first and don't get yourself hurt by getting angry. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter!"
"We must deal with it as soon as possible and must not encourage such evil practices! Vice Principal Liang, my old master Cen has been too busy these past two days. We just went to the Xu residence yesterday, and it will be Sunday in two days, and we will have dinner there. We must report the matter of classmate Wu You to Master Xu!"
"Okay, okay! Comrade Xiao Gong, please tell Comrade Cen Mingguang: This matter has been basically investigated. It was Yang Jiali who maliciously harmed classmate Wu You. Yang Jiali fled after committing the crime. She can't get away. Now there is an eyewitness... No, it's her accomplice Meng Tao, who has been arrested! Everything can be handled today, and we must give a satisfactory reply to our superiors!"
"Good! You are worthy of being Vice Principal Liang. Our old Cen has said that you are a very capable person!"
"Hahaha!"
Meng Tao: “…”
This scene was right in front of her, like a stage play, she really didn't want to watch it.
Gong Wanyi and Vice Principal Liang were talking animatedly when there were three knocks on the office door. Someone pushed the door open and walked in: "Vice Principal Liang, what's going on here? The noise has reached my side."
Vice Principal Liang took one look and said, "Principal Zhong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. There are students making trouble here. I'll deal with it right away."
"What is it?"
Principal Zhong was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses. He was tall, elegant and dignified. He looked around the room and saw Meng Tao: "Taotao? Why are you here instead of going to class?"
As soon as Meng Tao called out to Principal Zhong, she was interrupted by Gong Wanyi, who smiled and stretched out her hand to Principal Zhong: "Hello, Principal Zhong, I'm Gong Wanyi. My family's Cen Mingguang visited you a few days ago. I'm sorry that I was busy and couldn't come. I will definitely invite Principal Zhong to visit my home some other day."
"Hello." Principal Zhong shook hands with Gong Wanyi and said, "Comrade Gong, what's the matter with you today?"
"Isn't it just something?" Gong Wanyi pointed at Wu You: "Look at my niece..."
Principal Zhong raised his hand and said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Xiao Gong, we can talk but we can't waste other people's time, especially students' time is very precious."
He turned to look at Meng Tao: "I know you have a very important lesson in the classroom today, so go and attend the class first."
When Meng Tao saw Director Yang passing by the door, she agreed and prepared to leave.
Wu You shouted, "We can't let her go!"
Gong Wanyi stretched out her hand to stop Meng Tao: "Principal Zhong, Meng Tao has done something bad and must be punished. Vice Principal Liang is handling this matter. She can't leave yet!"
"Discipline? Meng Tao is a freshman, and school has only just started for a few days. Which rule did she break to receive punishment? How come I don't know about this?"
Vice President Liang coughed twice: "I haven't had time to report this to you yet..."
"It was not reported to me, and it was not discussed and decided at the meeting, which means the matter has not been thoroughly investigated."
Principal Zhong's eyes were sharp: "Vice Principal Liang, can you punish students without authorization?"
Vice Principal Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "No, no, that's not it..."
Gong Wanyi: "Principal Zhong, this matter is very clear. What investigation is needed? Meng Tao and another girl teamed up to beat my niece and seriously injured her. Shouldn't they be punished?"
Meng Tao: "Ms. Gong, if you continue to speak like this, I will go to court and sue you for false accusation."
"We have evidence that you beat someone."
"Take it out."
"Ms. Gong's intention is to capture my so-called 'accomplice' and then use some means to torture her into confessing and force her to identify me?"
"You said that yourself."
Meng Tao: “…”
Suddenly she felt nauseous. She had underestimated how disgusting this woman was.
Principal Zhong frowned and said, "Comrade Gong, an accusation without real evidence cannot stand."
"Principal Zhong, we have evidence."
Principal Zhong walked to the desk in his office, pulled out a chair and sat down. "I want to hear Vice Principal Liang's story from beginning to end, truthfully. But before the investigation is thorough, no one has the right to interfere with or prevent others from living and studying normally."
After Principal Zhong finished speaking, he waved to Meng Tao and said, "Go ahead. Don't delay the class."
Meng Tao nodded, pushed away Gong Wanyi who was blocking her, and walked out of Vice Principal Liang's office amid Wu You's crazy screams.
As soon as she walked out the door, she saw Director Yang coming over. He pulled her aside and asked, "What's the matter? Are you done? I called Principal Zhong... Hey, Taotao, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Tao covered her chest and retched: "I feel sick, I need to go to the toilet!"
"This way, I'll take you there."
Director Yang saw that Meng Tao was vomiting uncomfortably and was worried that she had some health problems. He happened to see the female school doctor walking upstairs with a medicine box on her back, so he grabbed her and took her to an empty office to check on Meng Tao first.
The school doctor gave her a rough check and said, "It looks like she's pregnant."
Meng Tao was stunned: "No way?"
"If it's not pregnancy, then it's something else... It's best to go to the hospital for a more thorough examination, and then you can rest assured."
Director Yang hurriedly said, "Go to the hospital, right away. I'll arrange for someone to take you there."
"No need, Senior Sister Yang, I can do it myself."
"No! Look at your pale face, stop trying to show off."
“…”
Director Yang called the driver and asked to personally accompany Meng Tao to the hospital. He returned to the office to arrange some work and also called Shen Yu.
Meng Tao finished the check-up at the hospital and Shen Yu rushed over just as the result came out: she was indeed pregnant.
After all, he had been a father once and had some experience. This time, Shen Yu seemed quite calm. He held Meng Tao's hand and said, "I had a bad feeling when your period was delayed for so many days."
Meng Tao rolled her eyes at him: "Is it my fault?"
"Blame me! Little Yunhai is only two years old, and here comes another one. Isn't this tiring you and making you suffer?"
Meng Tao frowned and leaned on his shoulder: "I really suffered a lot this time. I'm not as obedient as Xiao Yunhai. It's so uncomfortable!"
Shen Yu nervously hugged his wife: "Why are you feeling uncomfortable? You little guy dared not behave yourself, you deserve to be punished..."
"Don't scare the baby. How old is he? I just feel nauseous and want to vomit. I didn't have any symptoms when I was pregnant with Xiao Yunhai. I was just running around and playing. But now... maybe Gong Wanyi and her daughter got mad at me."
"Gong Wanyi? What did they do to you?"
"I don't even want to talk about it. It makes me sick to think about it."
"Well, then have a good rest. Make sure you stay away from anything that makes you uncomfortable!"
