Zhu Wen could not stand the judgmental gazes of the surrounding people anymore. He raised his leg and was about to chase after Shi Man, but Shi Jing grabbed his arm tightly.
“Don’t leave. You can’t leave. Zhu Wen, I know I’ve let you down, but tell everyone clearly that Shi Man wasn’t telling the truth just now. You know that, right? Tell everyone, please. You clearly still care about me!”
Her attitude was extremely humble and completely different from the high and mighty side she had shown in front of others in the past.
Shi Jing’s deskmate had been enjoying this show not far away. She had always disliked Shi Jing, but because of the Shi family’s power, she did not dare to say anything. Now, she could finally gloat and add insult to injury. “Aiyo, 1 thought you were the eldest daughter of the Shi family. It turns out that you’ve long become a stray dog!”
“Bullsh*t!” Shi Jing glared at her fiercely and turned around to continue begging Zhu Wen pitifully. “Help me say something. Shi Man doesn’t like me. We have a grudge, but 1 wasn’t chased out of the Shi family. 1 really wasn’t! Didn’t you say that you helped me contact the Shi family when 1 was hospitalized? The Shi family even asked me to take care of my health!”
It would have been fine if she hadn’t mentioned this matter. At the mention of this, Zhu Wen’s heart was filled with anger. He had been deceived by this woman time and time again. He had long wanted to settle this score with her.
“Alright, do you want me to say it?” He shook off her hand in anger and said coldly, “Then 1’11 say it. After you were sent to the hospital that day, 1 contacted the Shi family, but they didn’t want to care about you at all. If 1 hadn’t spent money to pay for your medical expenses and hire a nurse, you would have been lying in the morgue!”
…..
“You’re talking nonsense. You’re in cahoots with Shi Man!” Shi Jing covered her ears crazily. It was as though, by doing so, no one would hear what Zhu Wen had just said.
Unfortunately, all the students in the cohort heard him clearly.
Shi Jing’s deskmate walked over proudly with a few girls and mocked with a smile, “Why are you still dreaming of being the eldest daughter of the Shi family? The Shi family only has Shi Man as their precious daughter. It has nothing to do with you!”
“You’re just someone who was placed in the Shi family. Do you really think you’re the master of the Shi family? From what I see, you’re just a wild dog that they casually abandoned after they got tired of raising you!”
The mocking faces shook her until she felt dizzy. She could not hold on anymore and leaned against the wall. However, her weakness could no longer garner any sympathy. It would only make the mocking sounds around her grow louder.
Soon, the commotion on this floor attracted the attention of the teachers. The Dean frowned and walked into the crowd solemnly. “What’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you home after school?”
“Teacher, there’s a liar here. Our Cassel Academy can’t have such a student!” Her deskmate exaggerated what had just happened here to the Dean. In the end, she didn’t forget to add, “Look at the wound on her neck. It was caused by a man! She has an unclear relationship with many men. This is too bad for the school!”
The Dean walked up to Shi Jing expressionlessly. Thinking of how this student had cheated in the past, his expression immediately turned ugly. “Tell me, is what she said true?”
“No!” Shi Jing grabbed the Dean’s arm pleadingly and complained tearfully, “This is all Shi Man’s scheme. She deliberately harmed me. 1 didn’t. 1 really don’t have an unclear relationship with many men!”
“You said that someone harmed you?” The Dean had taught so many students and had long habitually turned a blind eye to their relationships. However, what happened to Shi Jing today was no small matter.
Since she kept saying that someone had harmed her, the Dean had to investigate thoroughly. “The impact of this matter is serious. 1’11 report to the principal and call the police to help us investigate. You have to be careful with your cooperation.”
“No!” Shi Jing, who should have been relieved that someone had acted on her behalf, suddenly screamed when she heard the words “call the police.” Then, she grabbed the Dean’s arm and begged humbly, “Don’t call the police. You can’t call the police!”
If she let the police participate in the investigation, then everyone would definitely know that she had slept with different men in order to maintain her luxurious life. Then, she would be too ashamed to study at Cassel Academy again.
The Dean frowned and guessed that there was something hidden about this matter. He immediately took out his phone and called the Principal to explain the situation. Then, he grabbed Shi Jing’s arm to prevent her from taking the opportunity to escape. “The others can disperse first. Everyone will know when the matter is investigated.”
Her deskmate looked at the helpless Shi Jing proudly and smiled obediently. “Thank you, Teacher and Principal. We’ll go home first. We won’t stay and cause trouble for the teachers.”
“Yes.” The Dean was very satisfied with her tact. He exerted a little force and pulled Shi Jing, who was struggling to pull back, in front of him. “Follow me to the Principal’s office first. The principal wants to ask you in person..”
