The girls, seeing that Shen Mianmian was not only not angry but also so generously forgiving them, felt even more embarrassed.
At the same time, their impression of Shen Mianmian improved somewhat.
On the contrary, their opinion of Zhou Siyu was very poor.
It was Zhou Siyu who misled them, but in the end, Zhou Siyu completely absolved herself. Although they did not say it, they all harbored grievances against Zhou Siyu in their hearts.
"Since things have been clarified, all of you go back to your classrooms! The midterms are coming up, and you all need to work hard to try to get good grades."
The principal spoke, and everyone left the office.
With the misunderstanding resolved and the hair ties purchased, everyone’s mood brightened again.
Once they left the office, they continued to surround Shen Mianmian to apologize, "Shen Mianmian, we’re sorry! We really didn’t mean it, it was Zhou Siyu who misled us."
Shen Mianmian smiled and shook her head, "It’s okay, I didn’t take it to heart. If it were me, I might have been more anxious than you. It’s not easy for us students to save money."
Which family in this era doesn’t have several children?
To be able to send a child to school was already quite an achievement; they didn’t even give their children any pocket money. Who knows how long they had to save to accumulate their savings.
It was quite normal for them to be concerned.
"Mianmian, you have such a good temper." This update ıs available on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵
If it had been them, they wouldn’t have been so magnanimous.
Shen Mianmian smiled again, after all, she harbored the soul of an adult and of course, her thoughts were different from those little girls.
Since it wasn’t time for class yet, Shen Mianmian simply handed out the hair ties to the girls according to the names in her notebook.
The girls who received the hair ties jumped for joy, feeling that getting such an item for a dime was a great deal, especially since it was bought from the city. Wearing it in front of their friends, they felt particularly proud.
"Mianmian, what’s this about Zhou Siyu saying you didn’t bring back hair ties?" everyone was a bit curious as Zhou Siyu dared to confront them directly, which meant Shen Mianmian really didn’t take the hair ties back home.
So where did the hair ties go?
Shen Mianmian shrugged helplessly, "My mom doesn’t dote on me, she’s quite harsh on me normally. With her temperament, if she knew I was buying things for others, she’d definitely have crooked thoughts, so I didn’t dare to take the items home."
A crying child gets the candy, and she understood this principle.
The idea of suffering quietly to highlight Zhou Siyu’s shining image was something she would never do.
Upon hearing this, the girls suddenly remembered the rumors around the school and couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Shen Mianmian.
It turned out that Shen Mianmian didn’t take the items home in order to safeguard them for the girls, yet they misunderstood her, which was truly unforgivable.
Everyone expressed their apologies once more, and Shen Mianmian, using the excuse of distributing the hair ties, quickly left.
The students in the classroom only knew that Shen Mianmian had been called to the office for an issue regarding cheating money, unaware of what transpired afterward. Zhou Siyu also visited the office, but when they asked her, she said nothing, making everyone uneasy.
Seeing Shen Mianmian return, the girls who had ordered hair ties gathered around her eagerly.
"Shen Mianmian, everyone says you cheated us out of money, is that true?"
"Did you really use our money to buy clothes?"
"Shen Mianmian, we trusted you to buy on our behalf, how could you do this?"
Faced with everyone’s doubts, Shen Mianmian calmly took out the hair ties from her backpack once more, proving everything with her actions.
The faces of the girls who asked the questions turned uniformly
