Lu Shangjin smiled faintly and said coldly, “Director Wei, who did you just say you want to expel? Who will be sent to the special education school?”
Wei Tao was the head of Ming City’s education department. His son attended Ming City High School and his wife called to put pressure on the school. Ming City High School was a high school which produced lots of good students. Many gained acceptance to the country’s top schools every year. Ming City High School’s reputation must not be ruined at the hands of one person.
He had run here, huffing with anger. In the room were so many people as well as two girls in school uniforms. His heart skipped a beat. A worrying thought came to him. Did he come to the wrong…
Wei Tao’s legs shook. “Boss Lu, I heard that a student here has some manic tendencies and needs special education, so I came to have a look.”
Lu Shangjin had his hands full with the matter and couldn’t be bothered with his nonsense. “Get your people out of here.”
Wei Tao didn’t dare to provoke the head of Ming City so he trembled as he nodded, turned around, and left.
How embarra.s.sing! No wonder such a student could enter Ming City High School. It turned out that she had Boss Lu backing her.
He opened the door and b.u.mped into Luo Songhua who had hurried over.
Luo Songhua didn’t notice who was blocking her. She walked around him and rushed into the office. Her expression was grave as she said seriously, “Princ.i.p.al, we can’t keep the parents under control anymore. They are all asking for an explanation. What shall we do?”
She glanced at Gu Mang and her eyes couldn’t hide her delight. Finally, they could get rid of this rotten apple!
Suddenly, chaotic shouts came from outside the office. It seemed to be coming from downstairs.
“Princ.i.p.al Fu, how can we let our children study here with such students at the school! You must be held accountable!”
It was noisy and chaotic outside. The parents couldn’t sit still anymore and rushed over.
Princ.i.p.al Fu suddenly had a splitting headache. Being caught in the middle, he couldn’t afford to offend either side.
Gu Mang looked down and said mildly, “Lu Chengzhou, thank you. I’ve decided to transfer with Jinyang.”
“Gu Mang.” Meng Jinyang, who had been silent, spoke up. She looked up and said softly, “Mr. Lu is right. You shouldn’t be the one to suffer this. You have suffered enough for me. This time I will protect you instead, alright? I will give them the answer that they want.”
Gu Mang realized what she wanted to do. She looked into Meng Jinyang’s eyes with a strict gaze and said slowly and very clearly, “You are not going to explain to them.”
Jiang Shenyuan and Lu Shangjin’s expression changed as well and they said together, “Jinyang…”
Meng Jinyang smiled. “Actually there is really nothing to be afraid of. Why must the one who was hurt hide from people and be judged by others? Shouldn’t it be the offenders facing such consequences? They are the ones at fault. They should be the ones to be looked at with disdain. We aren’t in the wrong. It shouldn’t be us who fear the truth being exposed. Gu Mang, this is what you said to me.”
Gu Mang’s face became terrifyingly serious. “Meng Jinyang, listen to me. You’re not allowed to go!”
“Gu Mang, I have to,” Meng Jinyang said stubbornly. She smiled at Gu Mang and resolutely looked at Princ.i.p.al Fu. “Princ.i.p.al, let the parents go back to the center first. I’ll give them the answer they seek.”
Princ.i.p.al Fu was stunned. He carefully looked around at the men sitting around. Seeing that they were not going to speak, he nodded. “I’ll go arrange it.”
He got up and left the office.
Gu Mang’s face was icy. The air around her was stifling as she stared fixedly at Meng Jinyang following the princ.i.p.al outside.
