Zhu Zian hugged his head and dodged.
He was so big, his appearance at that moment was indeed comical.
When Chuzheng walked in, she was greeted by a flying homework book right to her face.
She instinctively dodged, and the homework book fluttered out of the office.
Director Wu threw it at someone else and immediately stopped.
“Zhu Zian, pick up the homework for me!”
Zhu Zian saluted with his fingers together and tossed his hand upward, “At your command, Director Wu.”
Teacher Zhou was sitting across from Teacher Wu and, seeing Chuzheng come in, put down her pen.
Her gaze, somewhat sharp, swept over to Chuzheng, “Xu Chuzheng, did you force your classmate to drink milk tea?”
Teacher Zhou was a bit skeptical.
This Xu Chuzheng wasn’t good at her studies, was somewhat timid, and even slow to react.
How could she do such a thing?
However, Yu Yue and three other girls were crying and complaining, and even involved senior-year Zhu Zian.
After Zhu Zian came in, he didn’t rebut, which largely seemed like an admission.
Chuzheng stood in the middle, her calm gaze sweeping over Yu Yue and the others as she said, “No.”
“Teacher, she’s lying, she had Zhu Zian block us, saying if we didn’t drink it, we couldn’t leave,” the girl with bright red nail polish clamored.
Teacher Zhou glanced over there and said sternly, “Are you implying that Yu Yue and the others are framing you?”
Chuzheng blurted out, “Without evidence, it’s framing me.”
Zhu Zian looked at the junior girl with a strange expression, his eyes seemingly filled with shock and disbelief.
Realizing something, he scurried back to stand against the wall.
Teacher Zhou frowned and became even more serious, “Xu Chuzheng, I hope you’ll confess honestly, don’t make the teacher investigate this and find out, because your punishment will be severe then.”
“No, I didn’t, is there any evidence?”
Chuzheng deftly executed the denial trio.
The young girl stood in the office without subservience or arrogance, showing no sign of fear.
“Teacher, look at us.”
“I feel like vomiting at the thought of milk tea now.”
“Xu Chuzheng made us drink so much, Zhu Zian and the others admitted it!!”
The girls still looked pale at this point, especially Yu Yue, with tear stains on her face. Naturally beautiful, she looked even more pitiable now.
Yu Yue was not the kind of straightforward tomboy.
She knew when to cry and when to act aggrieved.
“Report,” Zhu Zian stepped forward, “When did we ever admit to forcing you to drink milk tea? Don’t slander us!”
“You implicitly agreed just now!”
“Not rebutting doesn’t mean we admit it!” Zhu Zian was defiant, the tall young man stared menacingly at the few girls on the other side, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
The boys behind Zhu Zian echoed his statement.
Teacher Wu, possibly not getting along with Teacher Zhou, had scolded Zhu Zian earlier, but now attempted to smooth things over, “Teacher Zhou, don’t jump to conclusions about this matter, let’s make sure it’s clear before saying anything, lest we wrong a student.”
“Teacher Wu, your senior students, not attending class during school time, how do you discipline them?”
Teacher Zhou’s attitude was very tough, confronting Teacher Wu directly.
Teacher Wu’s expression darkened, “Teacher Zhou, how I discipline my students is not for you to comment on.”
Teacher Zhou sneered, “It’s not for me to comment on, but now your students are bullying others, how do you explain that?”
Teacher Wu stood her ground, “Teacher Zhou, this matter hasn’t been settled yet!”
“You…”
Teacher Zhou snorted coldly.
They both turned away.
“Xu Chuzheng, I’ll give you one more chance,” Teacher Zhou spoke, “If you come clean now, we…”
Chuzheng was a bit impatient, cutting her off coldly, “Teacher Zhou, do you know about… my being bullied by Yu Yue and the others?”
With those words, the office suddenly fell silent.
