Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Clarification_1
Looking at the increasingly anxious Qiao Anchu, a faint smile gradually appeared on Xiaren’s face, “Qiao Anchu, why are you in such a hurry? I am here to reveal the truth.”
Xiaren’s words were like a bomb to Qiao Anchu, causing her to tremble and a myriad of thoughts flashed through her mind. The truth? Had this girl already figured everything out?
Or was Mr. Si helping her?
Qiao Anchu’s eyelashes quivered slightly, the sight of the two stern soldiers by her side confirming her suspicion.
Her heart pounded heavily, and she nearly wished for a hole to burrow into. Her hands started to fidget and her mind began to race rapidly.
What to do, what to do? She could not ruin Qiao Xiaren, but she also couldn’t risk her own future!
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Huang Youde disregarded everything and blurted out, “I have nothing to do with Xiaren, last time when I found that Xiaren had fallen into the water and was bedridden, I just wanted to invite a doctor from the village to see her…”
His children were both studying in town, and he wouldn’t bury their future for his lustful desires.
Seeing Huang Youde candidly explain everything, Qiao Anchu gritted her teeth and hurriedly said, “So that was the case, why didn’t you say so earlier? It led us all to a misunderstanding, I was even worried and scared that Xiaren was going astray…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Anchu went up and took Xiaren’s hand, pleading sincerely, “Little sister, I am sorry, we were the ones who misunderstood you, it was our fault, can you forgive us?”
With apology after apology, her soft gaze almost seemed about to spill tears— pitiful, really.
Qiao Xiaren crossed her arms and watched Qiao Anchu’s performance. When she had cried herself out, she said lazily, “Why are you crying, sister? It seems like the one whose reputation was at risk was me, wasn’t it? With all your crying, others might think that I am the unforgivable sinner here!”
Xiaren’s sarcastic tone made Qiao Anchu secretly grind her teeth; if it were normal times, she would have slapped her long ago.
“Asking for my forgiveness? Sure, you can start by apologizing to me right here and promise never to talk about this matter again.” Qiao Xiaren took a pre-written note from her bag, which clearly stated the cause and effect of the matter, “Here, you can sign it.”
That cunning girl. Qiao Anchu’s face turned dark. She knew she was taking evidence, so if she ever ran her mouth again, she would defend her innocence with the note. Qiao Anchu signed on the paper.
“And what about the apology?”
When Qiao Anchu wanted to walk away, Xiaren raised her eyebrows, standing up in front of her, and laughed.
Qiao Anchu felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, feeling humiliated under the public gaze, but had to humble herself and apologize, “Sorry, I misunderstood you.”
Each word was filled with gritted teeth.
“Alright, since everything has already been cleared up, anyone who dares to bring this matter up again will be severely punished!” As soon as the headmaster’s words were uttered, the students naturally understood the seriousness of the matter.
“That’s enough, everyone go back to class.” The teacher drove all the students who were watching the drama back into the classrooms, and they buzzed back into the rooms like a swarm.
When she returned to the classroom, she was surprised to find a strange man standing at the podium. His tall body stood up like a birch tree, the class was so silent that even a pin drop could be heard.
