"Yan Xinxin, on behalf of my two friends, I apologize to you."
Luo Yiyi stepped forward to apologize. Her smile seemed sincere, but her eyes told a different story.
She turned her head to look at the flustered Mo Xiaoli and Xue Mengshi.
"Hurry up and apologize to Yan Xinxin."
Mo Xiaoli and Xue Mengshi had already been frightened out of their wits by Mo Chuxi. Now, hearing Luo Yiyi's words, they eagerly ran over to flatter Yan Xinxin.
"Yan Xinxin, this is just a misunderstanding!"
"Yes, yes! Just a misunderstanding! We didn't mean any harm..."
Yan Xinxin softly uttered the words, cutting them off. Her brief response caused Mo Xiaoli and Xue Mengshi to rejoice wildly!
Does this mean Yan Xinxin won't hold this against them? Does this mean everything is fine?
Inside, Luo Yiyi sneered disdainfully.
So, Yan Xinxin is just a spineless chicken!
Such a weakling doesn't deserve to be her rival!
"It seems you've misunderstood my meaning."
Noticing the subtle smirk on Luo Yiyi's face, Yan Xinxin smiled lightly and spoke. Her brilliant, unwavering gaze met Luo Yiyi's suddenly darkened eyes.
"What I meant was, you don't need to make insincere apologies to me. Since Professor Mo has already uncovered the truth, it should be handled as it ought to."
Yan Xinxin stated frankly.
"The post has already been shared over a thousand times, and the comments have reached almost ten thousand. I believe this can be formally investigated."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaoli and Xue Mengshi panicked, and Luo Yiyi froze, her discontented eyes fixed on Yan Xinxin.
"Yan Xinxin, are you sure you really want to do this?"
She asked, her forced smile becoming increasingly strained.
Yan Xinxin flashed a radiant smile as she spoke, raising her gaze to the man standing not far away.
"Professor Mo is absolutely right. This matter has already significantly impacted our reputations. While we value freedom of speech, everyone should be responsible for their words and actions. In that case, why should I bear the consequences for your behavior? Or are you worried that continuing the investigation will expose the person who orchestrated this behind the scenes?"
Yan Xinxin said with a smile, and Luo Yiyi's smile abruptly vanished.
"Yiyi, what do we do now? Will we be sentenced to prison?"
Mo Xiaoli and Xue Mengshi were filled with anxiety.
"Mo Xiaoli, Xue Mengshi! Both of you, come with me!"
Director Yang finally spoke up, his square face taut with sternness.
Mo Xiaoli and Xue Mengshi trembled uncontrollably, their previous arrogance completely gone.
"Director Yang, we..."
"Whatever you want to say, you can say it in my office."
Yang Pengcheng responded firmly.
"Yan Xinxin is right. You must take full responsibility for your actions!"
"Director Yang, we..."
"Enough. Follow me to my office."
Director Yang interrupted harshly, then turned to Yan Xinxin with a faint smile.
"Yan Xinxin, leave this matter to me to handle. It's nearly time for class; you should return to the classroom."
"Thank you, Director Yang."
Yan Xinxin expressed her gratitude. As she turned away, her eyes inadvertently met Mo Chuxi's deep gaze. She shifted her gaze indifferently and proceeded to leave.
Watching Yan Xinxin walk away, Mo Chuxi's eyebrows furrowed.
This little woman—isn't she supposed to thank him more properly?
And yet she just left like that?
Fine, he'll find plenty of chances to make her say thanks!
Mo Chuxi withdrew his gaze, appearing expressionless, but his sharp eyes fell on Xu Nuo not far away. The corner of his thin lips twitched slightly, almost imperceptibly, before he strode over with his long legs.
