Chapter 85: Publicly Reprimanded
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The principal’s office fell into complete silence.
The surveillance footage played by Mei Shu clearly showed the face of the girl who really stole the money.
The grade director knew all the students in the school, but he felt unfamiliar with this girl’s face.
Facing the principal’s questioning gaze, the grade director answered with certainty, “She is not a student at our school!”
“Then how did she get in?”
The principal’s face darkened as he interrogated.
Although N0.1 High School wasn’t completely closed off, it wasn’t a place where anyone could just walk in. Moreover, this girl was wearing their school uniform, indicating that someone gave her the clothes!
The grade director panicked and broke out in a cold sweat. “Principal, please give me some time, and I will investigate thoroughly.”
Mei Shu smiled and looked at the grade director. “Tomorrow is Friday. Shouldn’t the grade director also explain everything to the principal and all the students before Friday?”
The grade director looked anxiously at the principal and replied, “Yes, of course. I won’t delay everyone’s activities on Friday.”
“Hmm.” The principal nodded expressionlessly, tiredly waving them away.
After leaving the office, the grade director gnashed his teeth and went to settle accounts with Mei Shu. “Do you know how difficult it is to investigate this matter? You forced me to make a commitment in front of the principal. What are you up to?”
Mei Shu looked as if she had heard the funniest joke. She glanced at him askew. “Grade director, if I’m not mistaken, you made things difficult for me last night, but I still managed to find out the truth in just one night, didn’t I?”
The grade director was rendered speechless by her words.
Mei Shu cheerfully reminded him, “Don’t forget why you initially suspected me of stealing. The person who should be held accountable now isn’t me.”
Hearing her words, the grade director remembered how Mei Mu cried and came to his office to report to him yesterday. His face darkened.
As the grade director, he knew exactly what was going on between these two sisters.
When he thought about how he was used as a tool by Mei Mu to deal with Mei Shu, he became so angry that he wanted to explode. He and Mei Shu returned to Class One together.
At this time, the senior students were studying during their morning self-study session.
The classroom was originally quiet, but with the appearance of the grade director, everyone’s hearts were stirred.
When Mei Mu saw the grade director’s angry face, she knew that Mei Shu was definitely in deep trouble. She was overjoyed and couldn’t help but feel like jumping up to celebrate. However, she restrained herself from showing such excitement.
But she wasn’t satisfied with this; she wanted to ruin Mei Shu’s reputation step by step until everyone despised her, hating her deeply.
“Mei Mu.”
“Hmm?”
When Mei Mu was suddenly called out, she instinctively stood up.
The grade director stood at the door with an even more displeased expression. “Come with me to my office. I have something to talk to you about.”
Mei Mu was completely stunned, not understanding why the grade director asked her to go to his office at this moment. Could it be to praise her for reporting Mei Shu as a thief?
However, looking at his expression, it didn’t seem like that…
Mei Mu looked puzzled at Mei Shu, who was calmly sitting back at her seat and studying. In her mind, a whirlwind of thoughts erupted.
This situation was really strange.
How come Mei Shu looked so unaffected? Could it be that she was just pretending?
Yes, that must be it!
Mei Shu seemed unaffected, as if she had nothing to do with this matter. But in fact, the evidence against her had been irrefutably confirmed by the school authorities, and they were surely discussing how to deal with her!
“Mei Mu, I’m talking to you. Didn’t you hear me?” The grade director’s face grew darker, and he urged her impatiently.
Mei Mu’s heart tightened, and she quickly responded, “Yes, Teacher, I’m coming.”
She was still wearing a distinctly masculine coat. The grade director took a glance and couldn’t control his temper anymore. “Whose coat is this? You’re in senior year, and you should prioritize your studies! If you keep doing this, 1’11 call your parents over!”
He scolded her fiercely, venting his anger.
But Mei Mu was completely petrified on the spot, her face turned pale.
She never expected that the grade director would reprimand her in public at this moment and even threaten calling her parents over. This was a great humiliation for her.
She had always been the good student in the eyes of the teachers and the campus goddess in the eyes of her classmates. She had never experienced such humiliation in school. Her tears burst out again. “Teacher, you misunderstood. Wen Miao splashed water on me in the morning, and my clothes got wet, so Li Zhen lent me his coat.”
Why did two other people get involved?
The grade director massaged his forehead in frustration. “Enough, I’m not going to talk to you about this. Come with me; we’ll talk about the clothes later.”
Mei Mu had no choice but to follow the grade director helplessly.
After they left, Mei Shu walked over to Wen Miao, carrying a notebook. “Lu Yan agreed to lend this to you. Return it to me on Monday.”
Wen Miao was grateful and held the notebook dearly.. “Thank you! 1 believe you are innocent!”
