Bearing the Responsibility (承担责任)
From what Teacher Qi could see, it was as if today was the first day he truly got to know Jing Yun Zhao.
As his cla.s.s representative, Teacher Qi often paid attention to this orphaned girl, but every time he did, he would always feel extremely gratified. Jing Yun Zhao was very sensible and was always very obedient in school. Although her relations.h.i.+p with other students was quite distant, she had her own circle of friends. She would never stir up trouble and she wasn’t inflexible despite having good grades.
But from today’s chaos, this Jing Yun Zhao’s true personality deep within was completely different from what she showed on the surface!
Her figure was both weak and thin, looking as if she couldn’t stand the slightest breeze. If it weren’t for the fact that he saw such a scene with his own eyes, he would never believe it was Jing Yun Zhao who made the first move!
“Jing Yun Zhao! You- What the h.e.l.l is going on here?” Teacher Qi was furious.
What cooperating? Things have already reached this point, is it still a problem that mere cooperation can resolve?
This Jiang Xia was beaten into looking like a pig’s head, the Jiang Family will definitely find out. By then, would those parents be willing to take things lying down with her?!
“Teacher Qi, I wouldn’t beat people up for no reason. In the past, with so many hoodlums looking for me and spreading my rumours, I could still tolerate it. To take such violent measures against Jiang Xia now, it’s enough proof that Jiang Xia did something that made me lose control. Anyway, he already looks like this, I’m troubling Teacher Qi to contact his family. I will carry any and all responsibility,” Jing Yun Zhao was standing pencil straight, her voice crystal clear, and her att.i.tude decisive.
When Teacher Qi heard her, he became so angry even his beard was waving about, he sighed, “ You- how do you want me to say it…Send Jiang Xia to the infirmary first. Jing Yun Zhao, you! Come with me!”
Take responsibility? Suffering from such severe injuries, monetary compensation must definitely be given. Apart from that, the Jiang Family will definitely also want Jing Yun Zhao to be expelled. Otherwise, how will their anger be appeased?
Teacher Qi was huffing in anger, his mind already mulling over how to talk to the Jiang Family.
If Jing Yun Zhao was expelled, it would be too much of a pity!
Only once Jing Yun Zhao followed Teacher Qi to a place devoid of people did he speak, “Explain it to me clearly, just what happened for you to start beating people up?”
“It’s not a big thing actually, Jiang Xia just disgusted me,” Jing Yun Zhao replied shortly.
“Don’t say all this nonsense, I want to hear the truth! It’s not like Jiang Xia is your deskmate, and he usually doesn’t seem to interact much with you either; how did he disgust you? Do you have any evidence?” Teacher Qi asked more insistently.
“Teacher Qi, I naturally have evidence to back myself up.”
Jing Yun Zhao fished out one of the love letters. The contents of this one were the least outrageous one amongst the others, but the moment Teacher Qi started reading it, his complexion ashened.
Teacher Qi was already quite old. His personality was strict and it could also be said that he was a little traditional and old-fas.h.i.+oned. Usually, the things he hated the most was for these teenagers to talk about love at such a young age. If it was outside the school, he wouldn’t have such a strong reaction against it, but within school grounds, Teacher Qi would never tolerate it.
Hence, when he saw the contents of the love letter, his anger exploded to the point where he was ashamed to show his face to anyone.
This was his student! At such a young age, he actually dared to write such explicit things!
He had confiscated numerous love letters in his years doing this line of work, but it was the first time things were so serious!
Hit him! He deserved the beating!
Teacher Qi’s anger could be seen from how his hand was trembling holding the letter, “Keep this properly. Take it out when Jiang Xia’s parents arrive. The Jiang Family should also want to keep their dignity; take this love letter with you and have a proper talk with them…”
It wasn’t too appropriate for Teacher Qi to say things too blatantly.
If one were to say Teacher Qi held some pity for Jiang Xia just the second before, then in this moment, he couldn’t help but hate that he couldn’t throw that shameless thing out of school!
