Chapter 178 The delayed truth
Xu Ruixiao ignored their disapproving looks and said coldly: "Your roommates Yuan Laixi and Zhang Yue reported to our Public Security Bureau under their real names that they found a pair of muddy shoes under your bed..."
"What does that prove?" Hao Mei interrupted him, "Could there be shoe prints on the ground?"
Xu Ruixiao chuckled, this girl's psychological quality is really good.
He stroked his chin and looked at her, "How do you know there are no shoe prints?"
Hao Mei held her breath and her face turned red before she spoke, "I'm guessing. If there were, you would have said it long ago, right?"
Xu Ruixiao nodded, "Your excuse makes sense, but you overlooked one point. The land behind the laboratory is different from ordinary vegetable fields. The soil in the land is top-grade nutrient soil. There is no second piece of land like this in the entire Agricultural University!"
Hao Mei's face turned pale and she forced herself to say, "Then, maybe someone else went there wearing my shoes? Zhang Yue! Yes, it must be Zhang Yue. She has long been fed up with Yuan Xiao! Yuan Laixi can testify that Zhang Yue often embarrasses Yuan Xiao in the dormitory!"
Xu Ruixiao clicked his tongue. It seems that the young daughter-in-law of Gu Lanting's family is not very popular.
"But Yuan Laixi and Zhang Yue can testify to each other that they did not leave the dormitory that night."
Hao Mei stiffened her neck, "How do you know that they are not covering up for each other?"
Xu Ruixiao chuckled, "According to what you said, their testimonies are not credible. In this case, how can Yuan Laixi help you prove that Zhang Yue has opinions about Yuan Xiao?"
Since the vice president and Wu Minzhi knew that Yuan Xiao was the seed provider, they believed her unconditionally.
Now looking at Hao Mei's reaction, she is sure that she was the one who did this!
Xu Ruixiao was not in a hurry and gave her enough time to find excuses.
Then, he spoke coldly: "You did meet your fellow villager that night. But you didn't stay with her for a long time, but gave her money to let her bear false witness for you. Your fellow villager has admitted it and is now crying in the police station!"
Hao Mei cursed subconsciously, "How dare she betray me!"
"If you ask me, you are too stingy. With just that little money, how can you shut her up?"
Hao Mei looked sly and felt dejected, but she still cursed bitterly: "One hundred yuan, this is something they can't earn in their family for several years! A scumbag is a scumbag, and they will never get rid of this shabby look in their
lives!" Wu Minzhi's face was so ugly that it couldn't be uglier.
Hao Mei loves to laugh, and she always smiles when talking to people, and her mouth is so sweet.
Seeing her ferocious face now, it was hard for him to accept the contrast.
Xu Ruixiao leaned forward and asked with a smile: "But there is one thing we really don't know, why did you frame Yuan Xiao?"
Hao Mei sneered, "She is too selfish!"
Wu Minzhi couldn't help but ask: "Where is she selfish?"
"She is Professor Wen's student. Professor Wen never forgets to include her name when he cultivates new varieties. I am her roommate, and I follow her around all day, but she has never thought of helping me!" "
Obviously, as long as she asks, Professor Wen will definitely agree to add my name, but she doesn't. Do you think she is selfish?"
Xu Ruixiao was stunned for a rare moment. It was really eye-opening. There is such logic?
Wu Minzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook her head helplessly.
A few words were enough to show that her world view was not right.
She asked softly, "Hao Mei, when you were in high school, were there many students like you who were admitted to Agricultural University?"
Hao Mei was stunned. The topic changed too quickly and she didn't react.
"Not many. My grades ranked in the top ten in my grade."
There would be no more than ten students with such good grades as hers.
"Do you think it's easy to get such good grades?"
Hao Mei didn't even think about it and said directly, "Of course it's not easy!"
Last year, she hardly had a good rest and stayed up late to study every day.
Not only her, but also her parents have paid a lot to send her to college.
"Then, do you know what you are about to face?" Wu Minzhi's voice suddenly became cold.
Hao Mei shuddered, her heart was shaken, and her face turned pale.
Facing what?
She didn't even dare to think about it.
Professor Wen said sternly: "You have made a wrong choice, and you are ashamed of the teachings of your teachers and parents. You will also pay the price for your mistakes."
"Then why don't you just stop investigating!" Hao Mei said sharply, "If you don't investigate, everyone will think that Yuan Xiao did it! With Professor Wen protecting her, she won't be expelled!"
She hated everyone in the office, "It's all you, it's all you who ruined me!"
Seeing that there was nothing for Xu Ruixiao to do, he stood up and stretched his waist: "Then I'll leave first?"
Professor Wen nodded, "Thank you for the trouble."
"It's a small matter!"
Hao Mei breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that she would not be sent to the police station.
She suddenly felt that she still had a chance.
After all, she was a student taking the college entrance examination for the first time, and there were too few students as outstanding as her.
She softened her attitude and said, "Professor Wen, although I did something wrong, it was because you were not fair enough. If you could treat me equally, I would not do such a thing!"
Professor Wen laughed.
This kind of person is like a possessed person, and will never think that he is wrong.
He thought for a moment and said, "I have two solutions now. One is that you drop out of school, make a self-criticism in front of all the teachers and students in the school, admit your mistakes, and apologize to Yuan Xiao."
"That's impossible!"
She didn't think she was wrong, and she would not apologize to Yuan Xiao!
Professor Wen nodded and said, "Then there is another option. We will expel you from the school and erase your college entrance examination results. You will never have the opportunity to take the college entrance examination again!"
Wu Minzhi added, "Hao Mei, let me remind you first, whether you admit your mistake or not, the truth of this matter is here. You framed Yuan Xiao for your own selfish reasons and tarnished the reputation of the school. These are all facts!"
As a result, Hao Mei of course chose the first option.
As long as she still has the opportunity to take the college entrance examination, it will be the same if she goes to other schools.
But what Professor Wen did not tell her is that this matter will be recorded in her file, and whether she can pass the review is not up to him.
*
Hao Mei made a self-criticism in front of the whole school, admitted her mistake and apologized to Yuan Xiao.
This incident shocked all the students in the school, especially the students of the Agricultural College. While hating Hao Mei, they also felt guilty towards Yuan Xiao.
But Yuan Xiao did not see it because she was not there.
After Hao Mei's self-criticism, she was scolded off the stage by her classmates.
She felt that her face was torn off by someone and she suffered the humiliation she had never experienced in her life.
She didn't even understand why the school couldn't just make the best of a bad situation and let Yuan Xiao take the blame.
After she stepped down, the principal personally announced her punishment, but the students still felt it was too light.
Then Professor Wen personally announced the truth on stage, saying that the latest seeds were all cultivated by Yuan Xiao himself.
Yuan Xiao planted an orchard in the suburbs of Beijing, which will become the school's experimental base for students to visit.
