Song Zhou didn’t follow Jiang Jingchen in because he went to look for evidence.
The principal was also asked over by Song Zhou. The three of them had a fight and Yuan Jiao jiao was pushing all the blame to Tang Beibei, saying that it was her fault. That would not do, so he had to find an excuse to shut Yuan Jiaojiao up.
The evidence that Song Zhou found was a surveillance footage from the corridor where they fought. The surveillance footage would undoubtedly show everyone what happened and that Yuan Jiaojiao was the one who made the first move.
Now that she had lost the fight, she cried to the teacher and asked Tang Beibei for apology and compensation? This was extortion!
The principal scolded Yuan Jiao jiao with a cold face. “Don’t you know your mistake? You were the one who started things both times, Yuan Jiaojiao!”
Yuan Jiaojiao’s face was pale. She opened her mouth but could not refute the principal. She cried and begged for mercy, “Principal, they were the ones who scolded me. That’s why I acted rashly. I didn’t mean it.”
Ruan Qi was furious. “If you hadn’t come looking for trouble with us, we wouldn’t have scolded you. If you didn’t mean to hit someone, why would you ask us to give you 5,000 yuan?”
Yuan Jiaojiao sobbed softly. She seemed to think that when she cried, everyone would have to coax her, give in to her, and not argue with her.
At this moment, Jiang Jingchen said, “This student has already said that a slap was worth 5,000 yuan in compensation. She was the one who hit Ruan Qi first, so she should pay compensation. Principal, what do you think?”
The principal nodded. “That’s what Yuan Jiaojiao said herself, so she should pay compensation and apologize to Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi!” “Principal, 5,000 yuan! How can it be so much!” Yuan Jiaojiao retorted, feeling wronged.
Ruan Qi sneered. “Demerit points or expulsion unless you pay up!”
“… Ruan Qi, you…”
Tang Beibei interrupted, “You did the same thing to us before!”
Yuan Jiaojiao cried again but she wasn’t pretending this time. She was crying out of anger.
She felt the pinch when she was asked to fork out 5,000 yuan.
However, she didn’t want to receive demerit points or be expelled from school, so she could only take out her phone and pay Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi didn’t accept the money. Instead, he told the principal that she would donate the 5,000-yuan penalty from Yuan Jiaojiao to the school. The principal immediately praised her for being a good student. As a reward, he even gave extra points to Ruan Qi and Tang Beibei.

Yuan Jiaojiao, who had just forked out 5,000 yuan, was so angry that she wanted to kill someone when she heard the principal’s praises.
They did good with her money. She was the one who suffered. Those two batches!
Yuan Jiaojiao was furious and wanted to leave, but Song Zhou blocked the staffroom entrance and she couldn’t escape.
“I’ve already paid compensation. What else do you want?”
Song Zhou’s expression was cold. “You forgot the most important thing. Apologize.”
“I already paid. Isn’t it enough?”
Song Zhou shook his head. “You should apologize after doing something wrong. The most important thing to learn in school is virtue. Teacher Lu, don’t you think so?”
Teacher Lu, who had been trying to become invisible, heard Song Zhou’s insinuating words. His heart skipped a beat and he nodded awkwardly.
“This gentleman is right.”
Song Zhou then continued, “Teacher Lu, you’re wise. You didn’t investigate the matter before you decided that Tang Beibei was in the wrong. How well do think you did?”
He didn’t say anything unpleasant, but every word he said made Teacher Lu lower his head more. There was simply nowhere to escape.
Teacher Lu glared at Yuan Jiaojiao angrily. How dare she use him to suppress Tang Beibei!
“Yuan Jiao jiao, hurry up and apologize!”
At this moment, the principal said, “Yuan Jiaojiao, don’t think that you can just settle things with money. The school is teaching you that you must correct your mistakes. Only then can you be a good student!”
Yuan Jiaojiao was forced by the two of them and had no choice. Just as she was about to apologize, she heard Tang Beibei say, “Yuan Jiaojiao, you promised me last time that you would write me a letter of apology, but you haven’t given it to me yet.”
“Why don’t you give both letters of apology to me at the same time? Teacher Lu and the principal can be our witnesses. If you don’t write me the apology letters, I’ll let Teacher Lu give you demerit points. Teacher Lu, what do you think?”
Teacher Lu guessed that the two of them had a grudge, but he had also made a mistake, so he naturally agreed to Tang Beibei’s suggestion.
“Yuan Jiaojiao, you must correct your attitude and apologize properly. Otherwise, I will discuss the matter of you hitting your classmate with the principal, announce your offence to the whole school and then give you demerit points!”
“I will write the letters.”
Yuan Jiaojiao was fuming mad that so many people were helping Tang Beibei.
If they announced her offence to the entire school, wouldn’t she become the topic of everyone’s discussion? She didn’t want to be a lunchtime joke.
She had really suffered a double loss this time!
She glared at Song Zhou angrily as she said, “Move aside, I still have to write apology letters!”
Song Zhou stood still. He glanced at Jiang Jingchen first because he would only make way for Yuan Jiaojiao after getting Jiang Jingchen’s nod.
“Mr. Jiang, it’s almost lunchtime. Why don’t 1 treat all of you to lunch?” the principal said with a smile.
Jiang Jingchen waved his hand. “No, thanks. I should go home and take my medicine. Thank you, Principal, for intervening this time.”
“What are you talking about? This is a school matter. It’s only right for me intervene if it’s not handled properly.” When the principal spoke, he looked coldly at Teacher Lu. Teacher Lu lowered her head in fear.
Although Teacher Lu couldn’t figure out the identity of the man in the wheelchair, seeing the principal acting so respectful around him, he was even more angry at that hypocrite, Yuan Jiaojiao.
Teacher Lu was already nervous. When he heard the principal call his name again, he felt a chill down his spine.
“Teacher Lu was a little reckless this time. 1 apologize on his behalf.”
Jiang Jingchen coughed twice. “Principal, you’re too polite. There’s no need to apologize. Please be fair in future when dealing with such matters. Investigate the whole story. Don’t unjustly accuse the wrong students.”
“Definitely.” The principal smiled politely, but he knew that it was a warning to him. He couldn’t help but glare at Teacher Lu again.
Teacher Lu couldn’t take it anymore. He stepped forward and said to Tang Beibei, “Tang Beibei, Ruan Qi, it was my negligence before. Please forgive me.” “Of course. As long as you help to supervise Yuan Jiaojiao and stop her from harming others.” Ruan Qi said with a fake smile.
Teacher Lu’s lips twitched awkwardly. “I’ll supervise her. If she gives you trouble again, come to me and 1’11 definitely uphold justice for you.”
Jiang Jingchen was impatient as he listened to their small talk. He held Tang Beibei’s hand. Tang Beibei looked at him and immediately understood.
Tang Beibei said, “Teacher, Principal, my husband is not feeling well. He’s a little tired. We’ll take our leave first.”
She pushed his wheelchair out of the staffroom. The principal and Teacher Lu both walked over to see them off. After they left, the principal let out a sigh of relief.
Teacher Lu was scared and asked carefully, “Principal, who is that man in the wheelchair?”
The principal replied, “He’s the first young master of the wealthy Jiang family. Although he’s sick, as long as he’s not dead, he’s still a member of the Jiang family. He’s not someone you and I can afford to offend.”
When Teacher Lu heard that he was the first young master of the Jiang family, he was even more scared.
This first young master wasn’t scary, but the Jiang family and Old Master Jiang were very scary. Tang Beibei was married to the first young master. Didn’t that mean that she was the first young madam of the Jiang family?
Teacher Lu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Fortunately, this matter did not escalate. If it did, he would definitely be in trouble.
The principal chuckled and berated him. “Be more careful in future. Pay close attention to Tang Beibei. Don’t let such a thing happen again!”
“Yes, yes. I’ll definitely pay more attention to the young madam of the Jiang family.” Teacher Lu said quickly.
Tang Beibei had no idea that she had become the center of her teacher’s attention because of this matter.
When she pushed the wheelchair to the door, she heard Jiang Jingchen say, “I’ll treat you and your classmate to lunch.”
“All, didn’t you want to go home to drink your medicine?”
“I lied to them. 1 don’t drink medicine now.” Jiang Jingchen looked at Ruan Qi again and said, “I wonder if Ruan Qi would allow me to treat her to a feast and also have her face checked out.”
Ruan Qi’s face was still red from the slap..
