After talking to her head teacher, Huang Xuan lay on the table and sobbed, looking very sad. Instead of sympathizing with her, everyone looked at each other and silently mouthed, "Serves her right!"
"Yu Yeying, Lin Dan, we wronged you. We shouldn't have spread rumors about you. We're sorry." Several other girls walked to the back row and apologized to Lin Dan and Yu Yeying in a low voice.
Lin Dan said calmly: "I accept your apology." Then he spread out his palms and quietly collected the mosquitoes.
Yu Yeying hid behind her, leaving only a pair of clear eyes exposed.
Seeing her timid eyes like those of a small animal, several classmates felt even more guilty, and they also realized very clearly - how could such a simple person do such a terrible thing? They must have been blind to believe Huang Xuan and Xu Xin. Those two people are so vicious. I must stay away from them in the future, otherwise I won’t know when they will harm me.
People who came to apologize came one after another, and everyone's eyes looking at Lin Dan and Yu Yeying had become very soft, except Ma Rui, who looked up and down at Lin Dan's curvy figure with lustful eyes.
Lin Dan seemed to sense something and glanced over. Before Ma Rui could react, Gao Shukai, who was sitting between them, started coughing violently, and his handsome face turned red in an instant. He quickly buried his head in his arms and tried his best to hold back his cough, but he still twitched from time to time.
His younger brothers immediately gathered around him and asked about his well-being, making the classroom very lively.
Ai Yu, the cute girl sitting next to Gao Shukai, patted him on the back and joked, "Are you choking on your own saliva? What? Did you see a ghost again?"
"You're the one who saw a ghost!" Gao Shukai raised his head to refute, but found that Lin Dan was still looking at him, so he quickly buried his head again. God knows how beautiful and charming her expression was when Lin Dan's narrow eyes glanced at him lightly.
Ai Yu covered her mouth and chuckled twice, then looked at Lin Dan with a look of inquiry and suspicion.
Zhou Nan turned around and said confidently, "Did you put a poison on them?"
"Truthfulness Gu, in this life they can only tell the truth and cannot lie." Lin Dan was flipping through the biology book carefully and was no longer interested in Huang Xuan and Xu Xin's affairs.
Zhou Nan nodded and stopped asking questions.
Outside the corridor, the head teacher was still talking to Xu Xin. Xu Xin's expression was very anxious, her lips were twitching all the time, but her speaking speed did not slow down at all, as if she answered whatever the teacher asked. The head teacher's face became more and more ugly, and she took out her mobile phone to call her parents.
Just at this moment, a thin, haggard middle-aged woman rushed over, grabbed Xu Xin's hair without saying a word, and slammed her against the wall. Xu Xin was hit so hard that she screamed and called for help. The head teacher tried to stop her, but a tall and strong man jumped up from behind the woman, cursing, "You little bastard, you killed my brother and made my sister-in-law pay for it! I might as well beat you to death today, so that you won't harm others again! The school can't teach you well, your parents can't teach you well, so I'm here to teach you a lesson!"
The students in the class suddenly became excited and all rushed to the window to watch the fun. The other classes on the same floor were also in chaos. Even the teachers stopped teaching and threw down their pointers to try to stop the fight.
"Stop beating her. If you have any problem, call her parents and discuss it. If you beat her to death, you will also have to go to jail. Is it worth it? Sister-in-law, I know you have a six-year-old child at home. It's not easy for you to raise him alone. You can't ruin the rest of your life and your child's life for a scumbag!" A teacher advised loudly, his words full of contempt for Xu Xin.
The middle-aged woman calmed down and quickly asked her brother-in-law to stop.
Xu Xin's hair was messy and her face was covered with tears and snot from being scared. She had long known that verbal violence was terrible, but she didn't know that when others used violence against her, she had no room to resist.
She quickly hid behind her head teacher, but did not notice the deep disgust that flashed across the other's face. Just because the physical education teacher asked her to run a few hundred more meters, she could use words to drive people to death. Just because she had a little less pocket money, she was ready to use the same method to persecute Yu Yeying. Such a person is terrible. If one day a teacher criticizes her a few more times, will she repeat the same tricks? Who is willing to teach such a person? Who dares to teach?
The head teacher felt that the person hiding behind her was not a human being but a poisonous snake, but she had to shoulder her responsibilities as a teacher and protect her students.
Upon hearing the news, the school leaders rushed over and wanted to take the two parties to the office for negotiations.
The middle-aged woman shouted at the top of her lungs: "I'm telling you, don't even think about suppressing this! I've already notified the TV station, and they'll send a reporter to interview us soon. Lao Li died so unjustly, no one is willing to believe him, and no colleague is willing to speak for him! I've always believed that he was a good man, and he did nothing wrong to me and my children. I want to seek justice for him!"
The school leaders' faces turned green, and all the prepared speeches were useless.
Xu Xin was shaking with fear, and finally realized how much trouble he had gotten into. She wanted to run, but the middle-aged woman and the tall and strong man blocked her way, looking like they would never give up.
The corridor was noisy. The physical education teacher's old father and mother had poor mobility and arrived a step late. They finally squeezed forward and raised their crutches to hit Xu Xin. Xu Xin grabbed the head teacher's clothes tightly and pushed her around using her as a shield, causing her head to be covered with bruises.
Seeing her wantonly taking advantage of and hurting others, not only was the head teacher furious, but even the school leaders didn't want to bother with her.
Her father and Yu Yeying's mother arrived almost at the same time as the TV reporter and found that the two sides had already started fighting. Instead of trying to persuade them to stop, the reporter picked up the camera and started filming.
Father Xu rushed in and beat the old couple with a ferocious expression. Yu's mother still had some sense of morality, and symbolically asked: "Xiao Xin, how could you do such a thing? Apologize to them!"
"My dad didn't even say I did anything wrong. Who are you to ask me to apologize?" Xu Xin said with disdain, "If it weren't for the fact that your shabby house is about to be demolished, do you think my dad would marry you? My dad has already coaxed you to transfer the property to your brother. He will divorce you and fight for custody of your brother, and then you can get out! Don't even think about taking a penny of the demolition fee. My mom has returned from Guangdong Province, and she and my dad will remarry sooner or later."
Yu's mother felt dizzy in an instant, while Xu's father was horrified, but then he became tough again. Anyway, the property has been transferred, so he is not afraid at all.
The people around were suddenly in an uproar, and finally understood how true the saying was - behind every naughty child stands a pair of naughty parents. Without Xu's father's guidance and instruction, would Xu Xin have grown up to be the ugly man he is today?
The reporters were excited and took a lot of photos of the father and daughter.
Yu's mother said in disbelief: "Is what she said true? Xu Cheng, have you been lying to me?"
Father Xu didn't want to pay any attention to her at all. He pulled his daughter over and sneered, "Let's go! You didn't kill anyone yourself, what can they do to you? You jumped off the building because of such a small matter. You are such a coward."
The people around them couldn't believe that they were so shameless and let them run away in a moment of shock.
The distraught Yu's mother was immediately surrounded by these people, some scratched her and some interviewed her. She looked through the crowd and saw her daughter looking at her silently through the window, and tears instantly came down. She took good care of other people's daughters, but ignored her own daughter who was left outside. In the end, what did she get? She lost her house, her husband, and her son. What did she have left?
Yu Yeying withdrew her gaze, turned her head and smiled sweetly at Lin Dan.
Lin Dan was still reading seriously, turning a deaf ear to the noise outside. When school was about to end in the afternoon, the head teacher walked into the classroom with a tired face, holding a stack of information in his hand, and said slowly: "I have already investigated what happened this morning. It was Xu Xin and Huang Xuan who spread rumors and slandered Lin Dan and Yu Yeying. Now, the school's punishment has been issued. Xu Xin is advised to withdraw, and Huang Xuan is given a serious demerit and placed on probation. She is also required to write an apology letter and post it on the public notice board. Is this okay?"
Huang Xuan lowered her head and wiped her tears, not daring to say a word.
Lin Dan and Yu Yeying also remained silent.
The head teacher sighed and continued, "Regarding the rumors, I want to clarify them here. Lin Dan is indeed an orphan, but she has not done anything illegal. She comes from a small Miao village in Bashu. She had been living on poverty scholarships before, and was later sponsored by a kind-hearted person, so she transferred to Haicheng No. 1 Middle School. After entering the school, she submitted an application for a scholarship, which has been approved by the school leaders. Her living expenses are funded by the government, and the source is very clear. When she was in the Miao village, she had to go to school and farm. The poverty of her life is unimaginable to you. Please don't judge a person by appearance. In fact, Lin Dan is very kind. In such a difficult environment, she saved Yu Yeying who was almost abducted. We should learn from her helpful spirit, instead of maliciously speculating about her past."
The head teacher handed the information to Lin Dan and said with a smile: "Lin Dan, this is the scholarship information, please keep it well. If you have any difficulties in the future, just let me know, and the teachers and classmates will do their best to help you."
"Thank you, teacher, and thank you, classmates." Lin Dan bowed 90 degrees with a very sincere attitude.
The head teacher felt very pleased, and the other students applauded warmly, with surprise and admiration on their faces. Judging from his appearance, they had no idea that Lin Dan would come from the mountains. She looked so delicate, like a flower carefully nurtured in a greenhouse.
Gao Shukai stared at Lin Dan blankly, tapping the table with his left hand and rubbing his chest with his right hand, feeling annoyed. Is it really okay for the teacher to explain Lin Dan’s family situation in front of the whole class? Has she ever considered Lin Dan's self-esteem?
Ma Rui lowered his eyelids and murmured silently: "Country girl, poor girl? Wouldn't it be easier to get the upper hand this way?"
After school, Lin Dan took Yu Yeying away from the crowd and walked towards the back door of the school. Ai Yu quickly caught up with him and said sternly, "You were the one who caused all that trouble before, right? This is a school, you can't do whatever you want!"
