"Classmates, please quiet down."
The principal walked onto the stage with a serious face and nodded kindly at Chi Youyou. "First of all, I want to apologize to Chi Youyou here."
Apologize!
Wow!
The whole place was instantly in an uproar.
Although quite a few people had already sided with Chi Youyou after her self-justification earlier, many still remained skeptical.
The stuff online seemed very convincing, proving this incident, but not able to prove the others.
As long as one thing was true, they wouldn’t agree.
However, now the principal actually came up and apologized!
The whole matter reversed immediately.
When Fang Yifei heard the word "apologize" backstage, her face turned white instantly.
At the same time, her phone dinged, scaring her to almost drop it.
It was a reply from Song Xingruo:
Things are exposed, but don’t worry, they definitely can’t trace it to us.
Exposed!!!
Even though Song Xingruo repeatedly assured her that they wouldn’t be discovered, she still felt uneasy.
Moreover... could they let Chi Youyou off this easily!!!
Song Family’s Old Mansion.
"What’s going on here?"
Mrs. Song had just been muttering endlessly, only to see the principal go up on stage and apologize to this little girl?
Fang Ying was also puzzled, how could this happen?
But Old Master Song seemed to understand it all.
From the moment she went on stage, to showing the video, to what she said, he knew the little girl was extraordinary.
"By the way, doesn’t the man in that family photo of three look a lot like Shiyu!"
The old lady had been thinking about it since before, and it wasn’t until she saw the video that she remembered her eldest grandson often brought Guan Gui’s medicinal cuisine back to her.
[The principal apologized!]
[That means it’s definitely a major reversal!]
[That’s right, it must be like this. Suddenly, I like this girl. Those words she said were just brilliant!]
...
The live comment section was also catching up quickly.
Imperial City University.
"Principal, you can’t be blamed for this."
When Chi Youyou saw the principal and Ji Changqing come on stage, she paused for a moment.
She never expected the principal to apologize to her in public!
The next second, she felt a warm current rising in her heart.
"For something like this to happen at the opening ceremony, making our freshmen the targets of public criticism is my failure as a principal. I feel both heartache and powerlessness. It is my negligence in not fulfilling my duties and not enforcing the school rules on every student, leading to such a thing."
!!!
This sentence carried a lot of weight!
Even though he didn’t say who was behind it, everyone present and the audience watching the live stream understood.
A student at the school was behind this!
[Although I also think Chi Youyou doesn’t seem like that kind of person, the principal is making a claim without evidence...]
[I agree with the comment above, if there’s going to be an apology, then just be straightforward and reveal it!]
[Exactly, seconded!]
...
"I know some of you might still have doubts, and I’ll now ask the student standing next to me to explain briefly. The specific individuals will be temporarily kept confidential as a school policy to give the students a chance to correct themselves. However, I assure you that the school will deal with this matter seriously and restore the truth for Chi Youyou."
After saying this, the principal stepped back, leaving the stage to Ji Changqing.
Ji Changqing walked to the podium without any expression, inserted the USB drive into the computer, and the screen displayed many photos and videos.
All of Chi Youyou!
[Whoa, this is stalking!]
[Damn! This is perverted; they actually took these sneaky photos!]
[This matter absolutely cannot be tolerated. If it’s a student at the school, then it’s even more outrageous!]
