"The homeroom teacher found fault with me for no reason, said things that weren’t nice, so I turned around and left. She said she’d get me expelled, I said I’d get her expelled."
Song Chen: "Hahaha."
"Don’t tell the young master, Brother Song, please help me smooth things over," Sheng Tang sent another message.
Song Chen: "Don’t worry, focus on your studies, leave the rest to me."
Sheng Tang once again put on a blank expression, put away her phone, and took out her textbook to study.
When the morning reading class ended, she was immersed in her emotions.
She was furious, and Teacher Chen, her homeroom teacher, was also furious.
After being warned by the principal last time, Teacher Chen had been secretly investigating but still hadn’t found any connection between Sheng Tang and the Huishi Gu Family.
Maybe it was just a coincidence?
She really disliked Sheng Tang, but because of this matter, she had endured for a long time.
However, she slowly became unsure about Sheng Tang’s background and thought she might just be an ordinary student. Now that she had slimmed down, she did look a lot more beautiful.
During class, whenever the homeroom teacher glanced at the students, Sheng Tang would be the first one she saw.
Sheng Tang’s facial features were very striking. Among a group of junior girls, she stood out with her beauty. But since she usually didn’t dress up, wearing only her school uniform and a ponytail, the students didn’t pay special attention to her.
Teenage boys and girls rarely stare at each other’s faces intently, unless the girl is dressed extravagantly.
But this didn’t change the homeroom teacher’s impression of her.
She had been displeased with Sheng Tang multiple times.
Relying on her slight beauty, she dared to woo a senior and even delivered flowers so publicly, pushing the homeroom teacher’s anger to its peak.
If Sheng Tang had been more submissive and let her scold her and called her parents in to be scolded together, the teacher might have felt a bit better.
But instead, Sheng Tang was articulate and talked back directly, very defiant.
The homeroom teacher wished she could trample her into the dirt.
As her anger surged, she calmed down momentarily and decided to dial Sheng Tang’s mother’s phone. She intended to tell on her and summon her parents to the school.
She didn’t believe she couldn’t deal with Sheng Tang.
Unexpectedly, before she could make the call, her phone rang.
It was a call from the school’s board secretary.
The school’s board secretary rarely showed up at the school, and he seldom attended board meetings, holding just a nominal position.
His nominal position wasn’t even tied to Huishi but to the Education Bureau.
Thus, even the principal treated him with respect.
The homeroom teacher had only seen him twice. He was a very handsome and young man.
Despite his youth, he handled things with caution.
"...Teacher Chen, have you met Mrs. Gu from the Huishi Gu Family?" the young man on the phone asked.
The homeroom teacher was taken aback.
Why did he start with such an abrupt question?
Last time, the person who spoke up for Sheng Tang seemed to be Mrs. Gu as well.
Mrs. Gu, such a powerful woman with an illustrious family background—why would she speak up for Sheng Tang?
What kind of leverage did Sheng Tang have?
"Secretary Song..." the homeroom teacher’s voice trembled slightly.
"Teacher Chen, Mrs. Gu asked me to convey to you that Sheng Tang will continue to study in your class for another year and a half. Please take good care of her. If you can’t manage it, I will inform the board to replace the homeroom teacher of Class 2A," the young man’s voice was icy cold.
The homeroom teacher’s hand holding the phone trembled.
"Sorry to disturb your work by making this call," the young man didn’t wait for her to speak, his voice still stiff, "I won’t take up more of your time."
With that, he cut off the call.
Throughout the process, he didn’t show a bit of courtesy.
The homeroom teacher’s phone slipped to the ground involuntarily, and her whole body shook even more violently.
