Xie Chenxiao raised his hand and knocked on the door, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Shen You noticed that the moment Xie Junze saw Xie Chenxiao appear, his originally dim eyes instantly became colored, and his complexion seemed to become a lot redder. He subconsciously wanted to greet him, but froze in the instant, looking at him in disbelief, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, as if he suspected that he was hallucinating.
How could my brother, whom I hadn't seen for so long, appear in the school office at this time? Was he dreaming?
Looking at the child's dazed expression, Shen You couldn't help but curl her lips, thinking he was cute. When he looked at her puzzledly, she waved at him enthusiastically and greeted him silently: Hi.
Xie Junze: ???
Who is this beautiful sister? Is she greeting him? I don't think I've ever seen her before. She's here with my brother. Is she my brother's friend? He pursed his lips hesitantly, watching them walk in without blinking.
"Hello, Mr. Zhu, I am Xie Junze's brother."
With so many eyes on him, Xie Chenxiao seemed not to notice and asked calmly, "Excuse me, what happened?"
Seeing that Xie Junze finally had someone who could talk, the head teacher was obviously relieved and quickly told him the situation: "Xie Junze's parents, this is the case. This is Tang Shengbo's parent. Tang Shengbo secretly brought his family heirloom bracelet to school this afternoon. After the parents found out, they immediately contacted me, and Tang Shengbo said that the bracelet was missing and was stolen. In the end, the bracelet was found in Xie Junze's desk."
Xie Chenxiao raised his eyebrows as if he had heard a joke: "Just because the bracelet was found in his desk, does that mean he stole it?"
After a pause, he looked at Xie Junze who was staring at him eagerly: "What's missing from our family is a broken bracelet that has been worn by who knows how many people?"
The disdain and contempt in those words made the woman frown. She glared at Xie Chenxiao, but when her eyes met his flamboyant silver hair, her arrogance subconsciously subsided a lot.
"Hey, do you know how to be more respectful when you speak? What do you mean by a broken bracelet that has been worn by so many people? That's our family heirloom!"
The woman stared into his eyes and emphasized, "Nine figures worth!"
She thought that when Xie Chenxiao heard the value of the bracelet, he would show a panicked expression like the class teacher and the others, and then ask her what to do, but to her disappointment, the boy just glanced at her indifferently without even blinking, and his reaction was as calm as when he heard her say "The sun rises from the east every day."
"Mr. Xie Junze, there is another situation," the head teacher wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained tremblingly, "When this bracelet was found, it had already been broken into four pieces."
Xie Chenxiao asked back: "Are you sure it was Xie Junze who did it?"
"this……"
The head teacher looked embarrassed and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the woman.
"Who else could it be other than him? The bracelet was found in his desk. This kid doesn't get along with my child. He probably did it on purpose," the woman glanced at Xie Junze and said unhappily, "He stole things and caused damage. He is such an uneducated bad kid."
At the beginning, when he was forced to stay in the office to confront Tang Shengbo and his parents, facing the accusations and questioning, although Xie Junze was afraid, he also knew that he could not speak easily before his parents arrived, otherwise he would be led by the nose to say the wrong thing, which would be very disadvantageous at that time. Therefore, he always had a pale face, and no matter how the teachers asked, he did not say a word, but just shook his head.
Now, perhaps because he saw his brother's presence, he felt safe, and Xie Chenxiao's calm and steady state gave him the confidence and courage to speak.
Hearing his voice, Tang Shengbo looked up at him from the game, then withdrew his gaze with a gloating look, sat on the soft sofa, casually looked at the people around him, and inadvertently met Shen You's eyes.
Shen You looked at him straight and smiled at him.
Tang Shengbo quickly lowered his head, ignored her, and continued playing games.
The woman sneered: "Why is the bracelet in your desk?"
Xie Junze shook his head: "I don't know."
He said blankly, "I returned to the classroom and found it in there when I got my book."
Xie Chenxiao looked at the head teacher and asked, "Have you checked the surveillance?"
"The area had a temporary power outage starting at 2 o'clock this afternoon. It lasted for several hours and was not restored until almost the end of school," the head teacher sighed. "The surveillance before 2 o'clock did not find any useful information."
This is such a coincidence.

Xie Chenxiao seemed to be thinking: "So there is no definite evidence?"
The woman automatically interpreted his words as not wanting to pay compensation, and immediately stood up. "What do you mean there is no evidence? The bracelet is in his desk, and the four pieces are all neatly arranged. Isn't this irrefutable evidence? Didn't you just say it was a broken bracelet? You can't even afford to pay for a broken bracelet, right?"
Shen You looked at her anxious expression and spoke slowly, "Even if it was found in his desk, there are many children in the classroom. During the break, Xie Junze was not in the classroom. It is possible that someone else put the things in his desk."
She just raised a reasonable possibility. After all, there is no surveillance now, and the students who might have been in the classroom at the time had all gone home after school.
However, the woman's face darkened. "Who are you? What makes you say that my son deliberately broke the bracelet and put it in his desk to frame him?!"
Shen You blinked, with an innocent expression: "I just said that someone might have put the bracelet in Xie Junze's desk, but I didn't say that this person was your son. You don't need to rush to identify it."
Under the woman's angry gaze, Shen You calmly analyzed: "If it was really Xie Junze who stole it and broke it, why didn't he just throw it into the trash can, but left it in the desk waiting for you to find it?"
The principal and others looked at each other.
This is indeed what they are thinking about.
Xie Chenxiao said calmly, "It's not that our family can't afford to compensate for a broken bracelet, but having money doesn't mean you like to be a scapegoat. Besides, you don't have direct evidence to prove that the bracelet was stolen by Xie Junze and that he broke it. Putting the blame on the child is a harm to him. We don't recognize this injustice."
