Chapter 158: I Don’t Like to Do Shameless Things
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“You!” Liang Xinyi hadn’t expected Yun Xi to be so unforgiving.
Wretched girl! That ungrateful thing!
Now that she had the upper hand, she wasn’t going to show any mercy.
Yun Xi glanced at Liang Xinyi’s venomous countenance and smirked mockingly.
In the future, Liang Xinyi would still try to throw her under the bus. Also, Yang Lu, who had been dragged down into the depths, would never forgive her.
Although Li Sinuo was not directly involved, what had happened today was enough to send her a warning.
Yun Xi wasn’t going to show any mercy toward those who offended her.
Yun Xi turned her head to look for Li Sinuo in the crowd, and her piercing gaze made Li Sinuo feel chills down her back.
Changing the expression in her eyes, Yun Xi said to her homeroom teacher, “Mr. Xu, we have delayed this parent meeting for too long. Let’s all go back to the cla.s.sroom and continue.”
Teacher Xu nodded and spoke to the parents. Everyone turned around and went downstairs.
Just as Teacher Xu was about to leave, Yang Lu’s mother suddenly pulled him aside.
“Mr. Xu, my daughter was being manipulated, so please don’t punish her. It won’t be easy for her to get into university with her grades. If she is disciplined again, whether she can even be admitted will be a problem. She’s your student, so you have to help her.”
“Excuse me, Madame, Yun Xi is also my student and someone else’s daughter. Why didn’t you think about that just now when you were talking so viciously?”
Now that her own daughter had been exposed as the culprit, she seemed to have forgotten that she’d been mocking others for bad behavior moments before. How could she shamelessly come begging for mercy now?
“I did go a little overboard earlier, but my daughter has also been manipulated. Teacher Xu, you are her homeroom teacher. You must help her!”
“It’s useless for you to apologize to me. It is Yun Xi who was framed, not me.”
Yang Lu’s mother turned her head to look at Yun Xi, who appeared impa.s.sive. She had been contemptuous toward her moments before, but now she had to forsake her pride and apologize.
“Yun Xi, you and Yang Lu are cla.s.smates. This time, she was in the wrong. She was also manipulated by your cousin. She didn’t mean to slander you. Please plead with Teacher Xu to let Yang Lu off the hook this time. She promises that she will never act so shamelessly again.”
“Ma’am, the person who has the obligation to handle this matter is not me. I believe that Teacher Xu will handle it impartially. I won’t hold a grudge against Yang Lu for framing me. After all, I’m her cla.s.smate. As for what should be done, Teacher Xu knows. The responsibility is not on Yang Lu, do you understand?”
Yang Lu’s mother nodded at her ambivalently, then turned to look at Teacher Xu who was also nodding at her. Suddenly she understood.
She was indirectly pleading for Liang Xinyi.
“Thank you. Thank you. I spoke too harshly just now. Please don’t hold a grudge.”
Yang Lu’s mother hurriedly pulled Yang Lu over and asked her to apologize to Yun Xi.
Liang Xiuqin saw that Yun Xi was helping someone else’s daughter, but didn’t help her cousin, so she rushed forward and yanked at Yun Xi’s sleeve.
“You wretched girl, you’re helping outsiders. Helping others instead of helping your cousin. Are you so vindictive that you want to see her being punished?”
Liang Xinyi’s grades were poor, so coupled with this punishment, she probably couldn’t be admitted to a good university. That meant she wouldn’t be able to climb the social ladder for the rest of her life.
What use would she have for her then?
Liang Xiuqin shamelessly forgot who had been the one who’d caused this ruckus in the first place.
Yun Xi frowned and turned her head. Her cold eyes fell on the arm her mother was tightly pinching.
Reaching out her hand, she clenched her fist and slammed hard at the acupuncture points on her mother’s arm. Liang Xiuqin suddenly felt her wrist go numb and let go.
“Liang Xinyi will receive school disciplinary action because she asked for it. If I interceded for her, I would have no self-respect. Mom, I am not like you. I don’t like to do shameless things.”
“You…you wretched girl!”
Liang Xiuqin was about to reach out and slap Yun Xi in the face, but Yun Yuanfeng had already rushed forward and pulled her aside aggressively.
“What a shame! Get out!”
Yun Yuanfeng dragged Liang Xiuqin downstairs, for fear that she would stir up more trouble.
“Teacher Xu, we won’t be partic.i.p.ating in today’s parent meeting. I really can’t afford to suffer any more embarra.s.sment. I will have to leave the responsibility of handling Yun Xi’s affairs to you.”
“Don’t worry, I will handle them properly and will not let my student suffer any injustice.”
