As far as he knew, the principal had apparently been summoned away by the Linjiang Education Association, the reason for which was self-evident.
"Nonsense!" Cao Shuwen suddenly said angrily.
Wen Ling was taken aback. Cao Shuwen's attitude was friendly just now, which was obviously an attempt to curry favor with him, which was why he said those words.
After all, they had a master-disciple relationship. Back then, he was Cao Shuwen's most favored disciple and was pampered, which Zhang Yingyuan and others could not compare to.
"Teacher, you..." Wenling frowned, "Have you misunderstood something?"
Just because they value Xie Li's perfect score in the ten-school joint exam, they don't even believe what he, a student, says?
The estrangement between the two had finally melted away, but Cao Shuwen's attitude changed drastically because of Xie Li, which made Wen Ling a little angry.
"If you don't believe me, go online and see for yourself! Xie Li is a student in the international class. I've taught her and even had conflicts with her. I know her better than anyone!"
Ming Xiaoxiao said cryptically, "Xie Li does indeed have a tendency to admire violence and disrespect his teachers."
She couldn't say much more, but Cao Shuwen had eyes and could find out by looking it up online.
She was fine until she opened her mouth, and Cao Shuwen's gaze fell on her, his eyes filled with an inexplicable pressure, completely devoid of the friendliness he had shown just moments before.
"If I remember correctly, you and Xie Li are not only in the same class, but you also came from Tiandu Mountain, right?"
Ming Xiaoxiao was a little flustered, but she still maintained her composure: "Yes." She felt that she hadn't made any mistakes.
Even if what she said today is not quite in line with her public image, Xie Li has already publicly humiliated her, and the two have long since broken off relations. So what if she secretly puts Xie Li down a couple of times in private?
Cao Shuwen: "So, why did you smear Xie Li? Why did you impersonate Bing Li's disciple?"
With a loud bang, Ming Xiaoxiao felt something explode in her mind. She panicked, a bad thought popped into her head, and she turned to look helplessly at Wen Ling.
Wenling was clearly aware that Cao Shuwen's behavior was inappropriate, but years of indulgence had made him accustomed to being arrogant and unrestrained in front of Cao Shuwen.
He stepped forward and shielded Ming Xiaoxiao behind him. "Teacher, please watch your words! Xiaoxiao is just a student. Your questioning is extremely unfair to her..."
"Fine, tell me, why are you trying to smear Xie Li? What did she do to offend you?" Cao Shuwen turned his gun on Wen Ling, showing no politeness whatsoever.
"Wenling, Wenling, I used to think you were just arrogant and not a bad person at heart. But look at what you've done now! You still dare to say you're focused on your studies and have no selfish motives? Just because Xie Li talked back to you, you're going to crush him? Have you forgotten how I treated you before?"
Cao Shuwen was clearly enraged, and he slammed his fist on the table in his anger.
Zhang Yingyuan was dumbfounded. He had followed Cao Shuwen for so many years. Although his teacher was strict in terms of academics and scholarship, he always loved talent and never lost his temper with his students.
Wenling was arrogant and often argued with Cao Shuwen, but Cao Shuwen always laughed it off and never took it seriously. His relationship with his student was always like that of a teacher, a friend, and a father.
Zhang Yingyuan: "Teacher, please don't be angry. Is there some misunderstanding?"
The others chimed in, "Dean, please don't be angry. We've investigated, and Ming Xiaoxiao is indeed very outstanding and persevering..."
Most importantly, Ming Xiaoxiao's background in a poor area gave her a lot of advantages.
