Chapter 147: Apology, Punishment
The word "husband" stunned the woman who had been so arrogant just now.
She looked at Yan Ye, then at Xu Xiaoyue behind the man.
The girl was still in her second year of high school and looked like she was not even 20 years old, but she was already married.
The woman secretly looked at the man carefully.
It took less than half an hour from the time Xu Xiaoyue called to now for him to get here. He probably lives nearby.
To put it bluntly, they are the natives of the capital.
She had a preconceived notion that Xu Xiaoyue was an outsider. The girl's soft Wu dialect accent made it impossible for her to be from the capital.
People from other places are easy to bully and have no one to rely on.
But if this outsider finds a local husband, there will be more variables.
After thinking it over, the woman put on a smile and was not as aggressive as before.
"It turns out that they are Xu's family members. This is what happened."
The woman laughed it off while thinking about how to explain it.
But Yan Ye didn't even give her a chance to explain and interrupted her directly.
"I happen to know the principal of your school. Teacher, if you have anything to say, let's just go to the principal's office and talk."
After he finished speaking, he reached out and took Xu Xiaoyue's hand, and ignoring the woman's livid face, he walked straight to the principal's office.
"Liu Shufen, I asked you to supervise the exam, and this is how you supervised it for me?"
The gray-haired principal threw the test paper in his hand onto the table, scaring the female teacher in front of him so much that she dared not move.
Liu Shufen, that is her full name.
Xu Xiaoyue was also startled by the old man's movement. She took two steps back and hid behind Yan Ye.
You really can't tell, the principal is already in his sixties or seventies, when he gets angry, not only does he speak loudly, he also bangs the table loudly.
Xu Xiaoyue is naturally a little in awe of schools, especially of a highly respected figure like the principal.
She was like a little rabbit, hiding behind Yan Ye out of fear, but never forgetting to stick her head out to take a look.
The corners of Yan Ye's mouth slightly raised up, and he held the person's cold hand with his backhand, patting it soothingly.
Sometimes the little actions of a girl reveal her unconscious cuteness.
It made him feel itchy.
Liu Shufen shrank her neck and regretted it deeply.
Originally, she wanted to help Yang Linlin prove that the girl was a cheater, so that she could take advantage of the situation and make the other party owe her a favor.
Unexpectedly, she was so unlucky as to have offended a giant Buddha.
If I had known that Xu Xiaoyue had such a powerful background, I would not have dared to offend her even if I had given her a hundred times the courage.
"Student Xu, I'm sorry, I didn't follow through this time."
"I'm really sorry, I've only been invigilating exams a few times and I don't have any experience."
"The teacher also knows that you are a kind-hearted little comrade. I hope that this time the adults will have some understanding of you and forgive the teacher."
As Liu Shufen spoke, she turned around, bent her waist low, and kept bowing to Xu Xiaoyue.
Xu Xiaoyue curled her lips, knowing very well that this person didn't know he was wrong at all, but was just afraid.
Even the apology was full of teasing, saying that she was kind and magnanimous, as if not forgiving her was a mistake.
She just didn't want to forgive.
Yan Ye glanced at the woman who wanted to burrow into the ground, and said in a light tone.
"It's really a waste of talent for Teacher Liu to be the invigilator. Even his apology is so insincere. There is no need for us to forgive him."
"Let me remind you, Mr. Liu, there's more than one thing you need to apologize for."
"You just said at the door that my wife was not decent and spread rumors that she was hugging and kissing with men. I'm afraid you have to give me an explanation."
The man's tone was chillingly cold, and with every word he spoke, Liu Shufen's expression became uglier.
She had never met such a petty-minded man. He just said a few words, but she still remembered them and even pointed them out in front of the principal.
Liu Shufen opened her lips and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize the great man."
"If a simple apology can solve the problem, then the cost of committing a crime is a little too low."
"Furthermore, as a teacher, this is too poor a teacher's ethics. He only speaks slanderous and derogatory words to his students. I think Teacher Liu used to behave in this way."
As Yan Ye spoke, his eyes were looking at the principal standing beside him.
Liu Shufen became a little anxious when she saw this. She was already feeling guilty and was afraid that Yan Ye would make a big deal out of it, so she said something without thinking.
"Isn't it enough to apologize? Do I have to kneel down before you can forgive me?"
"Besides, I am also worried that classmate Xu Xiaoyue might go astray."
As she spoke, she felt aggrieved.
Xu Xiaoyue stepped out from behind the man and said, "Teacher Liu, you haven't even gotten to know me, and you've jumped to the conclusion that I'm going down the wrong path. Isn't that a bit bad?"
"Oh, I forgot. Teacher, you are a little careless. You said I cheated without any solid evidence."
Liu Shufen ordered tea, and she liked it even better than the other person.
In front of the whole class, she didn't even listen to her own explanation. Xu Xiaoyue twisted her nose. She would never be soft-hearted and forgive her.
The principal was so angry that he almost cursed Liu Shufen to death for being such a fool.
It's already this time, and you're still concerned about whether you feel wronged or not.
After causing such a big disaster, I can't even pretend to apologize.
"It is true that Teacher Liu was wrong in this matter. He jumped to conclusions before conducting a thorough investigation and damaged the reputation of Student Xu."
He pondered for a moment and met Yan Ye's gaze. "The school will suspend Teacher Liu and impose disciplinary measures on him."
Not only was she suspended from her job but also received disciplinary action, which almost cut off her path to promotion, it was considered the heaviest punishment for a teacher.
Yan Ye held Xu Xiaoyue's hand and thought of the girl's crying voice on the phone. Although he knew it was fake, the grievance she suffered was real.
"Suspension is only one of the reasons. According to Mr. Liu's illegal operation, I think this year's performance should also be deducted, and he should not be evaluated for professional title within three years."
"Only by starting from the grassroots can we better understand students' inner thoughts. What do you think, principal?"
Liu Shufen was stunned at this moment. Being suspended from work was the most severe punishment she could think of. She didn't expect that this man could be even more cruel. He actually wanted to reset her performance to zero.
She worked hard for a whole year, but in the end it was all in vain. It would have been fine if it was in vain for a while, but she couldn't get the professional title within three years. How many more three years of hard work would she have? This was simply going to ruin her completely.
Liu Shufen refused to accept it and looked at the principal for help.
"Principal, even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. You can't deny me completely just because of this one thing."
"I can accept being suspended from work and writing a self-criticism, but I cannot accept not being able to evaluate my professional title for three years."
The principal was also silent for a rare moment.
