Chapter 8
The principal glared at the teacher and did not reprimand him for the time being. Instead, he shouted at the students who wished they could crawl into the cracks in the ground, “Who did all this? Come out immediately!”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. No one answered.
“If you don’t tell me, you’ll be punished together. I only have one thing to say. This matter won’t end so easily. It might even affect your parents. You can weigh it yourselves!”
The principal’s words hit the lifeline of all the students. The students present knew very well that the reason why one could be so arrogant in school was because of the power of the family behind him. If this matter affected the family, their parents would definitely not let them off. In the worst case, they would also be reduced to people who were shamed by others in the future. However, they were still a little hesitant in their hearts. Was this matter really as serious as the principal said? They had only bullied Yue Xin, but could it affect the family? Was Yue Xin’s family background so powerful? Didn’t she say that her parents didn’t have jobs? They didn’t even have the money to eat breakfast?
At this moment, everyone had already sensed that something was wrong, but people would instinctively avoid situations that were disadvantageous to them, so they were still unwilling to admit it. They could only keep fighting in their hearts.
The principal was also extremely anxious. The Yue family was powerful, and there were also powerful families among the students present. Although they could not compare to the Yue family, he could not afford to offend them either. He could only hint that the Yue family’s family background was not simple in this way and hope that these brats would be enlightened.
Although it seemed that this bullying incident was very serious, the students were still young. As long as they could admit their mistake, the Yue family would not be too calculative for the sake of their reputation. However, the prerequisite was that their attitude towards admitting their mistake had to be good so that he could mediate.
However, the truth was that the students understood what the principal meant, but they still didn’t want to apologize. They thought that if someone was wrong, it would definitely be Cui Peng. If Cui Peng hadn’t brought the wrong information and said that Yue Xin was poor, nothing would have happened after that. Therefore, they felt that if they wanted to admit their mistake, it could only be Peng Cui who took the initiative to admit his mistake. They weren’t wrong, they just did what they usually did.
“It was Cui Peng.” After the first student spoke, everyone else seemed to have found their direction.
“Yes, it was Cui Peng.”
“It’s all Cui Peng’s fault.”
“We can all testify. It’s Cui Peng.”
The principal’s gaze turned cold and he heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these brats weren’t too stupid and knew how to find a scapegoat. Compared to punishing all the students and offending more than 20 families, he was more willing to punish a student.
“Cui Peng, right? Call your parents over immediately.” The principal’s seemingly dignified voice carried a hint of excitement. With Cui Peng’s parents bearing the wrath of the Yue family, he felt much more relaxed.
However, Yue Lingchen was clearly dissatisfied. He said calmly, “He’s not the only one.”
The principal’s expression froze. He looked at Yue Lingchen. “CEO Yue, why don’t you give us some time? We’ll definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”
Yue Lingchen ignored him. He gently placed his hand on Yue Xin’s shoulder and patted it as if to comfort her. Then, he said impolitely, “After observing your actions, I suddenly understand why such a thing happened in this school. It’s also our Yue family’s own negligence. How could we send Xinxin to such a place?”
“What?” said the principal, beginning to understand.
At this moment, Yue Lingchen’s gaze landed on Yue Xin’s dress which was soaked in red ink again. His expression darkened. Then, he looked at his assistant and said, “Convene the board of directors immediately. Change the principal and expel all teachers without morals. The Yue family will bear all the losses caused.”
The assistant: “Yes!”
Yue Lingchen: “Stop cooperating with the families of the students in this class. Inform their parents that the Yue family will suppress everyone indiscriminately before finding the real culprit.”
At this moment, Yue Xin stood beside Yue Lingchen. On one hand, she felt that her big brother was very reliable and powerful. On the other hand, she was afraid that her big brother would find out that she had hit someone. If he found out, she wouldn’t be able to use this excuse to not go to school. God, please protect her!
Yue Lingchen looked at Yue Xin, who was a little afraid, and comforted her in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid. Big Brother will bring you home.”
Yue Xin finally got into the car home as she wished, but it was different from what she had expected. Yue Lingchen also went home with her. She had never thought that Yue Lingchen would come to school. In her impression, other than caring about the company, Yue Lingchen didn’t care about anything else. He didn’t have a good expression when he saw his younger siblings, so she had always thought that Yue Lingchen didn’t like her and even hated her. But today, Yue Lingchen had indeed helped her.
