Chapter 73: Watching the Principal Perform

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Unable to think of any reasonable excuse, the principal could only smile awkwardly. “All of this is a misunderstanding! However, it’s our fault for not conveying it clearly to Shan Yue, causing her to imagine things too seriously.”

“Misunderstanding? When I entered just now, I heard you say that you wanted to expel Shan Yue and ask her to scram!” Han Lin said relentlessly.

In order to gain Shan Yue’s favor as much as possible, Han Lin simply put himself in Shan Yue’s shoes at this moment. He continued to say with an indignant expression, “Look at what you’re doing. There’s no problem that can’t be resolved peacefully. Must a large group of teachers criticize a little girl and ask the security guards to beat her up and chase her away? Did she commit a huge crime?”

Seeing that Han Lin was so excited, Chief Song agreed. “That’s right! Even if she made a mistake, we’ll handle it as police officers. What are you trying to do? Use lynching?”

Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more serious, raising the entire matter to a terrifying level, the principal wiped the sweat off his forehead and was forced to explain helplessly, “No, it’s just that Shan Yue feels that Ms. Li is accusing her of cheating and is very unconvinced.” As he spoke, the principal immediately remembered Ms. Li as the fuse. He quickly pointed and pushed the blame away. “It’s this Ms. Li. She quarreled with Shan Yue in class, which forced Shan Yue to seek justice from me. Of course, I tried my best to help her.”

He had just said that she had come to the principal’s office to cause trouble on purpose. Now, he was saying that she had sought justice from him?

Shan Yue’s lips twitched in disdain as she silently watched the principal continue his performance.

Once he found a scapegoat, the principal immediately placed himself on the side of justice. He looked sternly at Ms. Li, who was originally gloating, and reprimanded, “Hurry up and explain to the leaders!”

Only then did Ms. Li react. When she saw Han Lin and the others enter, she had a premonition that these people were definitely not ordinary people. When she saw that the principal was so respectful to them, she was so frightened that she did not even dare to breathe loudly. She tried her best to reduce her presence, afraid that the fire would burn her.

At the principal’s mention of her name, Ms. Li’s body trembled. She told them how Shan Yue had provoked her in class. She calmed herself down and said stubbornly, “I-I didn’t do anything. I only punished a student who cheated and violated the rules. The rest has nothing to do with me!”

“You said that Student Shan Yue cheated. Where’s the evidence? If you can’t produce evidence, it’s defamation,” Xi Feng reminded coldly.

Although he felt that letting him handle such a case was really overkill and boring, after his observation just now, he realized that the principal and the others purely wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Shan Yue. They probably thought that Shan Yue was easy to bully and were full of prejudice against her. It was only when they realized that Shan Yue was not simple that their attitude changed 180 degrees. It really disgusted him.

“The evidence is her previous results! They’re all in the single digits. Now, she suddenly scored full marks. Other than cheating, could it be that her brain has suddenly been enlightened?” Ms. Li gritted her teeth. At this moment, she hated Shan Yue even more. Even if Shan Yue could call for so many helpers to pressure her, so what? Could it change the fact that she cheated in the exam and had a low IQ?

Hearing Ms. Li’s words, the other teachers echoed, “That’s right. We all know Shan Yue’s usual results very well. How can a bottom student score better than the top student in the cohort?”

“With this result, won’t she be guaranteed admission to the Capital University?”

“If she really has the ability, why did she only score 30 points in the monthly exam last time?”

Hearing this, Shan Yue provoked them at the right time. “If you’re so sure that I can’t score full marks, why don’t you dare to check the surveillance cameras? If I’m not guilty, why are you?”

“No matter what, you can’t wrong a good child for no reason. Everything has to be based on the truth!” Seeing that Shan Yue had spoken, Han Lin coughed lightly and assumed the posture of a superior. He glared at the principal warningly.

Han Lin did not expect Shan Yue to be treated so harshly in school. If the Zhou family found out that Shan Yue had been wronged in his territory, they might take their anger out on him and think that he was incompetent.

It was all this stupid principal’s fault for planting such a huge hidden danger for him!
