Chapter 72

When Lu Chi returned to the classroom, he saw Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Xian eating together.

I don't know when it started, but the relationship between Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Xian had become this good.

Before, it was always him and Su Yun Jiao eating together.

Su Yun Jiao would also pick out all the dishes he didn't like and put them on her plate.

At this moment, Su Yun Jiao said to Zhou Xian, "I don't like carrots."

That sentence left Lu Chi stunned.

Because he had always disliked carrots, every time he saw carrots in the dish, he looked disgusted.

But he didn't like wasting food.

So Su Yun Jiao often would take the carrots from Lu Chi's plate, saying she liked them.

Lu Chi never expected that Su Yun Jiao actually didn't like carrots.

Zhou Xian asked with some doubt, "I remember you used to like carrots, did I misremember?"

Su Yun Jiao shook her head.

Carrots were her most hated vegetable; before, because Lu Chi didn't like eating them but he also didn't like wasting food, she therefore ate the carrots Lu Chi disliked.

But in fact she didn't like carrots at all.

Each time she forced herself to eat carrots, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Hearing that, Zhou Xian said, "Then give it to me, I'll eat it."

"Mm!"

Su Yun Jiao transferred all the carrots on her plate to Zhou Xian.

These were all the lunch Zhou Xian had prepared for Su Yun Jiao.

Because he thought Su Yun Jiao liked them, he had specially asked for extra carrots.

Now that he knew Su Yun Jiao didn't like them, Zhou Xian planned to change the menu style from now on.

At this moment, Lu Chi, standing at the classroom door, hearing Su Yun Jiao say these words, his expression also turned ugly.

Su Yun Jiao ignored Lu Chi and continued eating with an unchanged expression.

At that moment, Fang Hong led the Yi Ban students to the door of Liu Ban.

The Yi Ban students came in a tumultuous manner.

At a glance, it looked like they were coming to cause trouble.

Seeing this, the Liu Ban students also went outside.

One student dissatisfiedly asked, "Fang Hong, what are you doing?"

Fang Hong ignored the questioning girl and walked straight to Zhou Xian and Su Yun Jiao.

"Zhou Xian, I suggest you not call the police; we don't want to make a big deal of this."

Fang Hong came up and stated her opinion.

Hearing this, Su Yun Jiao found it funny: "How? The injured one is someone else's sister, you don't want to make a big deal? What right do you have not to make a big deal?"

Su Yun Jiao's words were blunt, and Fang Hong's face darkened directly: "I'm talking to Zhou Xian, what are you butting in for? The one who proposed calling the police was you; I see you definitely have ill intentions."

"Conscience aside, I was thinking of your good friend Qin Xue; at the morning meeting today, didn't you also agree with my idea? If the police investigate and clear things up, Qin Xue won't have to bear a penalty—isn't that killing two birds with one stone? I recall you all agreed at the morning meeting."

Hearing Su Yun Jiao's words, Fang Hong was momentarily lost for words, then said: "This time is different; who knows if your Zhou family will tamper things? Or collude with the police just to bully little Xue? You're rich people; rich people wanting to frame us ordinary folks isn't that easy?"

Fang Hong's incoherent manner made Su Yun Jiao find it funny.

She truly couldn't understand what kind of brain Fang Hong had.

She could even say such things.

"In short, we all don't want to call the police; Zhou Xian, you are Student Council President, I hope you can seriously consider this—for the school's reputation, what's wrong if your sister suffers a bit of grievance? We're not refusing to pay."

Listening to Fang Hong's words, Zhou Xian's gaze grew even colder.

Before, Zhou Xian was always gentle with people; now even Fang Hong, seeing such a look, couldn't help but tremble all over.

Su Yun Jiao clearly understood what Zhou Xian was thinking now.

The injured person hospitalized is Zhou Tingting, Zhou Xian's sister.

Yet these people, for the sake of the perpetrator, are here asking them to consider the bigger picture and withdraw the police report.

Su Yun Jiao originally wanted to comfort Zhou Xian, but who knew Zhou Xian would directly pull out his phone and, in front of the Yi Ban students, dial the police emergency number.

"Hello, is this the Police Station? I want to file a report."

Zhou Xian's series of actions left the Yi Ban students dumbfounded.

Su Yun Jiao also didn't expect Zhou Xian to act so decisively.

Say he'd call the police and he did, with no room for compromise.

After Zhou Xian clarified the time and place with the police, he hung up.

Ordinary classmates took a long time to recover; realizing the other side had already called the police, Fang Hong's face was the first to fall: "Zhou Xian! Who told you to call the police? We all wanted to talk to you nicely, how did you just directly call the police?"

"Yeah, Zhou Xian, you are Student Council President, you should be considerate of individual classmates; Qin Xue's family background is poor, if it's just that Zhou Tingting accidentally fell while going downstairs, blowing it up to a police report—how will they manage in school afterward?"

"Isn't that right? Your family is so rich, do you still lack Qin Xue's medical fees? Zhou Xian, don't be so overbearing."

……

The other Yi Ban people saw their class leader being pressured by Yi Ban people like this, so some Liu Ban girls also stood up: "You're being too excessive, right? Tingting is still lying in the hospital; what's wrong with us calling the police? Reporting is to clarify the matter—what right do you have to be so overbearing here?"

"Exactly, it's clearly Qin Xue who made the mistake, yet you here don't distinguish right from wrong; no matter how unreasonably you cause trouble, I'll just call the teacher!"

Seeing the Liu Ban people about to call the teacher, Fang Hong said without fear: "Go ahead and call the teacher! Then everyone can see how excessive you are! Qin Xue has already knelt and apologized—so who is really being overbearing?"

Qin Xue, who had been outside the classroom all along, didn't expect Fang Hong to act so brainlessly.

Her face grew increasingly ugly.

Qin Xue wanted to rush in, but instead she saw Lu Chi inside the classroom.

If I go in now, what would Lu Chi think?

He would surely think she is very hypocritical.

Just as Qin Xue was in a dilemma.

The homeroom teacher had already heard the commotion and walked to the door of Class Liu Ban.

"What are you doing! Class is about to start, what are you making a fuss about here? Don't you need to review?"

The person who came was the homeroom teacher of Class Yi Ban.

Seeing her homeroom teacher approach, Fang Hong felt she had found her backbone, and she immediately went up to the teacher and said, "Teacher, the people of Class Liu Ban are being outrageous; they actually called the police just now."

Upon hearing that Class Liu Ban had called the police, the homeroom teacher's face indeed turned ugly.

"The matter already has a result; why are you calling the police?"

In the homeroom teacher's view, this police report will surely involve the school.

By then, things will become troublesome.

The homeroom teacher of Class Yi Ban said dissatisfiedly: "I know you're unhappy that Zhou Tingting fell down the stairs, but you can't make a scene like this; don't you realize it will have a huge impact on the school?"

The homeroom teacher stepped forward again and demanded, "Who called the police?"

Zhou Xian stood up directly from his chair: "Me."

Seeing that the person who called the police was Zhou Xian.

The homeroom teacher was momentarily speechless.

I never expected that usually the most composed Zhou Xian would actually choose to call the police this time.

"Zhou Xian, you… how could you call the police?"

The homeroom teacher said, exasperated: "Is someone in your class egging you on to do this? Tell me who it is; don't you know this kind of influence is very bad?"

"If a school gets involved in a case, how will it handle future admissions?"

"If this causes Hai Cheng Gao Zhong to be removed from the city's key high schools, then the homeroom teachers of this cohort will also suffer the consequences."

Moreover, the evaluation of outstanding teachers will also become biased.

"My sister is the one who got hurt; calling the police was my parents' decision. If you have any issues, teacher, you can call my parents."

"You!"

The homeroom teacher never expected Zhou Xian's attitude to be so firm.

Fang Hong beside her immediately said: "Teacher, am I wrong? Zhou Xian is simply over the top; clearly this could be settled with compensation, yet they insist on dragging it to the police. Moreover, during the morning meeting, Xiao Xue had already apologized, but Zhou Xian still refuses to let Xiao Xue go… all of this… is entirely because Su Yun Jiao is stirring things up!"

Having said that, Fang Hong's hand pointed toward Su Yun Jiao not far away.

Su Yun Jiao stood beside Zhou Xian, stunned.

She's stirring things up?

What a natural way to pass the buck.

The homeroom teacher of Class Yi Ban had long been dissatisfied with Su Yun Jiao.

Because the Director of Student Affairs informed them that Su Yun Jiao had lost her prayer beads, which is why they retrieved the surveillance footage.

Only then did they realize that the incident of Zhou Tingting rolling down the stairs had been pinned on their class's Qin Xue.

As a result, she was harshly scolded by the Director of Student Affairs first thing this morning.

Just thinking about this, the homeroom teacher's face darkened: "Su Yun Jiao? How is it you again? Do you just love stirring up trouble?"

The homeroom teacher's face grew uglier: "Just how far do you want to push this before you're satisfied?"

Before Su Yun Jiao could even speak, Fang Hong beside her added fuel to the fire, saying:

"Teacher, you don't know; Su Yun Jiao is doing this because she likes Lu Chi, but Lu Chi is close to our Xiao Xue, so she's doing it out of jealousy, hence the false accusation! We don't know what she's thinking—she's in her senior year of high school, yet her head is full of nothing but romance."

Fang Hong's every word is a smear against Su Yun Jiao.

The homeroom teacher was already angry, and hearing Fang Hong's words made her even more furious: "Well, Su Yun Jiao, now that you're in your senior year, you're stirring people up to call the police over such a trivial matter; you usually seem like a well-behaved student—what's gotten into you today?"

The homeroom teacher originally found it hard to discipline Zhou Xian, this rich kid.

Su Yun Jiao has no parents, no background, and is an easy target for bullying.

Thus the homeroom teacher vented all her resentment onto Su Yun Jiao, deliberately saying: "Su Yun Jiao, have your parents come after school! Your mind isn't on your studies—I need to have a proper talk with your parents."
