Chapter 67: She Like
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
All the students were shocked.
The cla.s.s monitor of the compet.i.tion cla.s.s was a top student who did not like and did not want to interfere with other people’s affairs. But when she realized things were getting worse, she immediately went looking for the teacher.
Some students decided to voice out.
“Ye Qingran, you only need to show us what’s in your bag and prove that you didn’t take it.”
“Yeah, don’t fight. It’s way too frightening.”
“If you didn’t steal it, why are you afraid of showing us what’s inside? We’re all cla.s.smates; there’s no need to fight.”
Ye Qingran shoved Hua Chi with force.
She demanded, “I don’t know if you guys would allow anyone to search through your bag, but my bag is not something that anyone can go through just because they want to. So, if I don’t give consent, you guys would continue to insist that I took the money, right?”
The students kept silent with an uneasy look on their faces. They feel that she was overreacting. It is just a matter of opening her bag and allow them to see what is inside, but she needs to create a big fuss out of it.
There might be a possibility that she had hidden the money in her bag.
Looking at the expressions shown in front of her, she could imagine what they had in mind.
“Seems like the only way for me to prove my innocence is to let you guys check what’s in my bag. Alright, fine, I’ll give permission for that, but there are also some things I must clarify first,” her gaze fell upon Mu Qingxue, “since you two insisted on this, I’ll let you do it. If you manage to find the money you lose in my bag, then it’s useless for me to continue denying it. You can either inform the teacher to punish me or report to the police. But what if you fail to find the money?”
Mu Qingxue a.s.sured gently, “If there is proof showing that we had wrongly accused you, we would naturally admit our mistake and apologize to you.”
“How would you do that?”
“In what way would you want us to express our sincerity?”
“How about you shaving your head immediately and apologize to me with a bald head.”
Without hesitation, Mu Qingxue agreed as she was the one who put the money there; thus, it would be impossible for Ye Qingran to defend herself.
Sitting down, Ye Qingran placed the bag which was behind her on the table, “Please take a good look and see if the money is inside.”
After Hua Chi unzipped the bag, he emptied all the contents on the table.
The first thing that fell out was a pack of sanitary pads.
The crowd uproared.
“This belongs to my girlfriend,” the owner of the bag calmly explained as she waved her hand, “she left it here with me.”
No one suspected anything.
Several male students began to laugh naughtily.
On the other hand, a few of the female students blushed in embarra.s.sment.
Aside from that, the bag did not contain anything suspicious. The others were mainly books and some necessities needed by students.
The couple was stunned by the outcome!
What was going on? They were confident that the money was in Ye Qingran’s bag.
But how did it turned out differently?
Ye Qingran spread her hands and demanded, “So did you guys found the money you’re looking for in my bag? Is this enough to prove my innocence?”
Looking towards her, Hua Chi began murmuring in shock, “How is that possible? There was no doubt…”
“No doubt what?”
The boy’s face turned red while remaining silent.
Ye Qingran looked at Mu Qingxue and laughed mockingly, “Do you find it strange when you find out that the money isn’t in my bag? It’s supposed to be with me right, but since it’s not with me now, where could it be? You had searched upon your desk, but you haven’t checked your bag. Now let me help you with it.”
At the same time, she picked up Mu Qingxue’s schoolbag and opened it.
Just like how Hua Chi had done, she poured everything inside on the table.
The first thing that fell out was a plastic bag.
Inside was a stack of RMB.
It was the materials fees that everyone had just handed in.
The students were dumbfounded!
“Oh my G.o.d! I’d reminded you to search properly. If you’d listened to what I’d said, you wouldn’t waste everyone’s time! With the time wasted, when are we able to finish our workbook?”
“I agree. The money is clearly in your bag. Instead of checking thoroughly, you had framed others from stealing it.”
“She insisted that Ye Qingran stole the money, but the money was found in her bag instead. Is there some conspiracy going on?”
…
“I’m sorry, I’d misjudged you,” Mu Qingxue’s face was filled with guilt as she apologized, “I’d forgotten that receiving the money, I immediately kept it to avoid losing it. I’m sorry for wasting everyone’s time.”
In addition to that, she apologized to Ye Qingran as well.
Ye Qingran coldly replied, “And then?”
Mu Qingxue felt embarra.s.sed.
“Ye Qingran, what else do you want?” Hua Chi continued playing hero courageously.
“What do you mean by what else do I want? Have you forgotten about our deal?
Everyone here is a witness to our agreement. You have to apologize to me with a bald head if you don’t find any money in my bag.”
Mu Qingxue turned pale instantly.
It would be impossible for her to shave her head!
She felt reluctant to cut off her hair as she had always maintained it the way it was throughout the years. In addition, the look of a bald head was too unattractive.
Hua Chi warned, “Ye Qingran, there’s a limit for everything!”
“You failed to recognize that you had crossed the line when you accused me just now!” Ye Qingran slammed the table hard after finishing her sentence.
She stood up again with a cold expression and an angered tone, “Apart from barking like a mad dog in front of me, you had insulted and accused me of stealing money without any solid evidence. Who do you think you are? What has this got to do with you? Are you her boyfriend? No, I don’t think so. Then what does that make you? A dog belonging to Mu Qingxue!”
“You!!!”
“Stay out of my way!”
Ye Qingran shoved the boy aside while staring at Mu Qingxue, “The entire cla.s.s had been witnessing. Well, if you have no shame for what you’d done, then forget about shaving your head. There’s nothing much for I could do anyway, but stay away as far as possible when you see me in the future.”
The trembling Mu Qingxue uttered, “I have already apologized to you.”
With tears in her eyes and her red lips slightly parted, she looked pitifully at Ye Qingran.
There was a look of desperation on her face.
Ye Qingran pretended not to notice while abruptly asked, “Why are you acting like this? Those unaware of what happened would a.s.sume that I raped you.”
A puff sound burst out in the room as some female students began laughing loudly during an intimate moment of enjoyment.
There was no doubt that the female lead was usually prevalent among men and also very envied by most women.
Just then, the teacher stepped into the cla.s.sroom and asked, “What’s going on?”
The female student sitting in the front explained the incident occurred.
The teacher who stepped in was a wise woman who taught mathematics.
As soon as she heard what had happened, she knew what was going on.
She gazed upon Mu Qingxue with her expressive eyes.
Before she could say anything, the girl sobbed, “Teacher, I’m sorry…”
“You don’t have to apologize to me,” the teacher declared, “You’re in the wrong. The person you should apologize to is Ye Qingran.”
Mu Qingxue kept quiet.
Another female student yelled before she could react, “She has to shave her head before she can apologize to Ye Qingran.”
“That’s right. Mu Qingxue agreed to it when she wanted to search Ye Qingran’s bag.”
“Forget about it. She won’t shave her head. Those around her would mock a woman who shaved her head.”
Mu Qingxue’s tears streamed down her face, “I’d never mentioned about backing out on the deal. It’s just that I’m currently in cla.s.s.”
A female student retorted, “I wonder if anyone is foolish enough to believe your excuse.”
