Chapter 27: I’m a Witness

Wang Meili felt a chill down her spine and her heart was pounding.

Even the way she looked at Gu Qingchen was a little fearful. She even doubted if this was still the Gu Qingchen who was aloof from worldly affairs and looked easy to bully?

Liu Ying struggled to get up from the ground. Some students nearby helped her up and prepared a chair for Liu Ying. Liu Ying sat down, rubbed her arms, and looked at Wang Meili and Gu Qingchen sternly.

“The two of you, fighting in the classroom, you both want to be expelled, don’t you!”

In the past, Liu Ying was still fearful of Gu Qingchen because her family was wealthy. Now that Gu Qingchen’s family became bankrupt, Liu Ying naturally would give Gu Qingchen an attitude.

Gu Qingchen was too familiar with Liu Ying’s face. Before she was reborn, and after her family went bankrupt, her parents passed away one after another. Next, Liu Ying found an excuse and wronged Gu Qingchen, and she directly expelled her because Liu Ying was a snob that bullied the weak and feared the strong.

When she was expelled from school, Gu Qingchen knew that Shi Wei must be involved in this matter.

For a scumbag teacher like Liu Ying, if she was allowed to continue being a teacher, who knew how many students would be harmed.

“Ms. Liu, it was Wang Meili who bumped into you. The person who scratched your face was also Wang Meili. It has nothing to do with me. Furthermore, so many students were watching. It was Wang Meili who suddenly rushed over. I was just trying to avoid her, but who knew that Ms. Liu was behind me.”

Gu Qingchen’s eyes were clear as she stared straight at Liu Ying. There wasn’t a single trace of fear in her eyes.

“That’s right, Ms. Liu. I can testify that Gu Qingchen didn’t do anything, and Wang Meili just pounced forward. However, I don’t know whether Wang Meili was going to pounce on Gu Qingchen or Ms. Liu.”

Han Zhengxiu was the first to testify. When Liu Ying heard this, her heart sank, and her expression turned cold.

Gu Qingchen said that Wang Meili scratched her face?

Han Zhengxiu said that he didn’t know if Wang Meili did it on purpose.

What did women care about the most? Their face, of course. Liu Ying had just gone on a blind date and started dating. The other party was well-to-do and handsome, but she knew that this boyfriend actually thought that she was pretty and was a teacher. That was why he dated her.

Now that Wang Meili had scratched her face, how could Liu Ying not be agitated?

“Wang Meili, Gu Qingchen, the two of you come with me to the office.”

As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. In addition, Shi Wei had previously sent her a lot of gifts to punish Gu Qingchen. Now that she had this opportunity, so what if it had nothing to do with Gu Qingchen?

Some of the boys were kind enough to put in a good word for Gu Qingchen. After all, the strife between girls had nothing to do with them.

“Ms. Liu, this indeed has nothing to do with Gu Qingchen. I don’t know why Wang Meili went crazy and suddenly rushed over.”

“Yeah, we all saw it. Gu Qingchen just dodged it.”

“Ms. Liu, you’d better go and see the school doctor. The two of them didn’t fight. Maybe they bumped into you by accident.”

Liu Ying looked around and shouted with a cold expression, “Shut up. Are you the teacher or me? If you keep talking nonsense, all of you can go to the office together. How lawless. I must have treated everyone too well that all of you have become so brazen.

This class will be a self-study session. You two, come with me to the office!”

Liu Ying did not allow them to question her decision. It was not easy for her to find an opportunity to discipline Gu Qingchen. This time, she would not let it go.

“Ms. Liu, I’ll go too. I’m a witness.”

The other students simply shut up because of the teacher’s words. There was no need to offend the teacher because of others.

Who knew that Han Zhengxiu would suddenly stand up and take the initiative to go together.

Liu Ying glared at Han Zhengxiu and then said in a serious tone, “You too!”

Gu Qingchen did not expect that Han Zhengxiu would take the initiative to come together. She understood that Han Zhengxiu was very loyal, so she smiled at Han Zhengxiu and nodded.

Han Zhengxiu winked at Gu Qingchen, indicating that he would help her.

From Wang Meili’s point of view, his signal was more like two people flirting with each other. The more she looked at Gu Qingchen, the more displeased she became.

“Wait, I’ll come along. I’m also a witness.”

Shi Wei stood up, looked at Gu Qingchen provocatively, and sneered at Han Zhengxiu.

Looking at the current situation, Liu Ying felt a headache. She waved her hand irritably. “Alright, come with me.”

With Shi Wei, Wang Meili’s heart was at ease. Her expression was no longer dispirited. It was as if she had been injected with stimulants. She raised her head and puffed out her chest. She looked at Gu Qingchen with ill intentions and followed Liu Ying to her office.

Because Liu Ying was the headteacher, she had her own office.

She had only recently been promoted to this position. The reason for promotion was naturally related to Shi Wei.

Otherwise, with Liu Ying’s age and seniority, it was impossible for her to be promoted in such a short time.

Four students, plus an injured Liu Ying, arrived at Liu Ying’s office. Wang Meili conveniently closed the office door.

In Wang Meili’s opinion, although she had scratched Liu Ying’s face and caused Liu Ying to be injured, as long as Shi Wei was there, Liu Ying would not make things difficult for her.

She might even push all the blame onto Gu Qingchen.

Liu Ying ignored the four students. Instead, she ran to the office desk and took out a mirror from the drawer.

When she saw the three bloody scratch marks in the mirror, her entire face changed color.

She slammed the mirror on the table with resentment. The sound was very loud, and it frightened Wang Meili.

“Ms… Ms. Liu, I really didn’t do it on purpose. It’s all Gu Qingchen’s fault. If she hadn’t provoked me, I wouldn’t have fought with her. If she hadn’t pushed me, I wouldn’t have scratched you.”

It was better to strike first than to suffer later.

All she had to do was to push the blame on Gu Qingchen. Now that Gu Qingchen was a stray dog, the bottom of the food chain was destined to be eaten up.

As expected, Liu Ying looked at Gu Qingchen solemnly. Just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Han Zhengxiu, “Hehe, Wang Meili, don’t mislead us. Do you think you can fool our smart Ms. Liu by saying that? Gu Qingchen didn’t provoke you. It was clearly you who caused the trouble.

Ms. Liu, you saw it too. Gu Qingchen didn’t make a move. I think Ms. Liu wouldn’t accuse a good person.”

With a sentence, the words that Liu Ying was going to say were stuck.

Wang Meili was so angry that she could only secretly tug at Shi Wei. Shi Wei frowned. Obviously, she did not like others pulling her like this, but she still stood up for Wang Meili.

“You can’t say that. We all heard it. The two of them argued before, so it’s normal for them to start a fight.

“Besides, what Wang Meili said was right. She just wanted to warn the other students and pay attention to their money. She was being kind.

“Otherwise, it would be too late if they were like me, who was schemed by some people.”
