Chapter 57: Dragging Su Yun Jiao Out to Testify

Qin Xue burst into tears, and instantly drew sympathy from the surrounding classmates.

「Auntie, you're being too much—Xiao Xue just went out for a meal with your son; you don't need to make a scene at school? 」

「Exactly, it hasn't caused any major impact—they're already adults; you can't just accuse Xiao Xue of having bad intentions because her family is poor? 」

「At school, it's Lu Chi who's been chasing Qin Xue—it's not that our Xiao Xue is throwing herself at him. 」

……

The few classmates from Class One who get along well with Qin Xue quickly spoke up for her.

Lu Mu, hearing that several students were blaming her, immediately felt embarrassed.

Qin Xue, however, refused to back down, saying: "Auntie, I know I'm poor, but wealthy people aren't necessarily impressive—you can't slander me just because I lack money. Unless you produce evidence that I seduced your son, you can't ruin my reputation here!"

「You! 」

Qin Xue's words caused Lu Mu's expression to change.

The surrounding classmates also began speaking up for Qin Xue.

After all, we're classmates, so when something happens we naturally speak up for our fellow classmates.

Moreover, Qin Xue's family has always been very poor, which quickly evoked sympathy from many classmates.

On the contrary, Lu Mu, who had been aggressively pressing just moments ago, now looked like a tyrannical matriarch from a wealthy family in the eyes of the classmates.

「Madam Lu, I also think there might be a misunderstanding—the two kids probably just had a meal nearby and drank a little; it's nothing serious. 」

Qin Xue has always been a good student in class, and her academic performance is also not bad.

The teacher naturally favors his own students a bit more.

At that moment, Lu Mu seemed to think of something; she suddenly ran to the door of Class Six and grabbed Su Yun Jiao, who was sitting in a chair, pulling her up.

「Jiao Jiao! Come over, tell everyone clearly—what exactly happened that day? 」

When Lu Mu pulled Su Yun Jiao up, she was completely dazed.

What does this have to do with her?

How did she get dragged into this again?

Instantly, everyone's gaze fell solely on Su Yun Jiao.

Su Yun Jiao now finds herself unable to speak, yet also unable to stay silent.

If she speaks the truth about that night, she'll be opposing the classmates from Class One.

If she doesn't speak the truth, people will suspect she's the one who informed on them—but now that it's been exposed, she daren't confront Qin Xue.

Seeing Su Yun Jiao silent for a while, Lu Mu, feeling a bit anxious, said: "Jiao Jiao, hurry up and speak—weren't you with Lu Chi and them that day? You know best what happened!"

「Can we believe what Su Yun Jiao says? Everyone knows she likes Lu Chi—this time she's probably informing on them out of jealousy in front of the elders? 」

「Exactly, Su Yun Jiao just loves doing this kind of thing—Xiao Xue, don't be afraid, we won't believe what Su Yun Jiao says. 」

The surrounding classmates all stood on Qin Xue's side.

After all, Qin Xue has the best relationships in the school.

As for Su Yun Jiao, nobody in the grade likes her.

「Jiao Jiao, speak up—Auntie believes you! Did you see Qin Xue getting Lu Chi drunk that night? 」

Lu Mu stared intently at Su Yun Jiao.

She was just waiting for Su Yun Jiao to tell the truth.

Qin Xue also looked at Su Yun Jiao with a tense expression, afraid she would reveal what happened that night.

Although most people in the class wouldn't believe Su Yun Jiao, it's inevitable that some would take her seriously.

By then, her image at school would be completely ruined.

Su Yun Jiao, feeling somewhat embarrassed, said: "Auntie, please don't pressure me—I also drank a lot that night and can't remember clearly…"

Hearing Su Yun Jiao say that, Lu Mu's eyes lit up instantly, and she said: "Jiao Jiao, you weren't allowed to drink before—why did you drink this time? Tell Auntie, and I'll make the decision for you!"

Su Yun Jiao feigned hesitation and said: "Actually, we were just studying in the library—the class monitor helped me with my homework, and then we happened to run into Qin Xue and Lu Chi, who were also heading to the library. Lu Chi insisted on studying with us, so we reluctantly agreed. By evening, Qin Xue said she was hungry; she knew a decent restaurant nearby, so she brought us there to eat—really, we just had a meal."

Su Yun Jiao specifically mentioned Zhou Xian.

And Zhou Xian had already walked out of the classroom.

Although Lu Mu doesn't like Zhou Xian, he now counts as a witness.

Lu Mu then approached Zhou Xian and said: "Zhou Xian, right? I know you're the class monitor for our Lu Chi—could you say a fair word for Auntie? What exactly happened that night?"

Zhou Xian walked over to Su Yun Jiao, looked at Qin Xue before him, and said: "That night we had agreed to just have a meal, but after eating, Qin Xue suggested we all drink a bit and even taught us a game; we got carried away playing and drank two cups—nothing more."

Zhou Xian's response was quite reasonable.

He had no intention of blaming Qin Xue, nor of denying Lu Mu's words.

He simply gave a straightforward summary of what happened that night.

Everyone in the grade knows Zhou Xian's character well.

After all, Zhou Xian is not only the monitor of Class Six but also the president of the Student Council.

Zhou Xian is gentle and polite, treats every student equally, is always eager to help in daily life, and gets along well with classmates from every class.

The surroundings fell silent all at once.

Zhou Xian then turned to Qin Xue and said: "Qin Xue, if I've said anything wrong, you can refute me."

With that sentence, Qin Xue found herself unable to speak.

Because everything Zhou Xian just said was the truth.

He also had no intention of shifting blame onto her.

If Qin Xue were to retort now, it would be like striking a sore spot—she'd be frantic and desperate.

Moreover……all the suggestions were actually her idea.

She also had no way to refute.

I...

Qin Xue glanced at the looks people were giving her, and in the end could only bite her lip and reply: "... That's how it is."

Lu Mu, we were just getting together to have fun, so we casually drank some alcohol; drinking was wrong on our part, but this is just this once, and we will never do it again.

Zhou Xiansan simplified the matter with just a couple of sentences.

But Lu Mu had no intention of letting Qin Xue off; she snorted coldly: "Qin Xue, what game did you teach them to play? How could you drink so much?"

At that moment, Su Yun Jiao seemed to rush to defend Qin Xue, saying: "They're just ordinary games, Auntie, don't overthink it."

"Ordinary games? Jiao Jiao, tell us, what exactly are these games?"
