Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
"Wang Xiaohua, just you wait! If I don't get the school to discipline you, I won't be this counselor anymore, wah wah wah……"
After Wang Xiaohua left, only then did Gu Wenqing dare to speak harshly.
At this moment Wei Qian walked in:
"Teacher, are you alright?"
Wei Qian did not follow Wang Xiaohua away; he had said he would help Wang Xiaohua cover his retreat.
Helping Wang Xiaohua cover his retreat after he withdrew also counted as a kind of covering.
So now he came before Gu Wenqing.
"Wei Qian, I was hit by Wang Xiaohua, you saw it all, right? You have to testify for me!"
Gu Wenqing said this one sentence to Wei Qian at this time.
It could be seen that Wang Xiaohua had truly hit her hard.
Wei Qian sighed inwardly; this kid Xiaohua really doesn't know how to cherish the fair sex at all. The counselor is actually only a few years older than them, and she's so tall and beautiful — how could he bring himself to raise a fist?
"Teacher, rest assured, I'll help you testify. We must ruin Wang Xiaohua's life. Anyway, you've already ruined his wife, and his parents are both native-born rural poor people. If his life is ruined, it's ruined. He and his parents can't do anything to you. Am I right?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Wenqing's heart gave a jolt.
A trace of kindness hidden deep inside her made her not know what to say for a moment.
Wei Qian continued:
"Teacher, aren't there surveillance cameras? Let's pull the surveillance footage and go straight to the higher-ups. Have the leadership give Wang Xiaohua a public reprimand across the whole school. Let all the teachers and students know about you being beaten. Anyway, the one losing face isn't you, it's Wang Xiaohua. Right?"
Gu Wenqing was even more unable to speak.
If this matter blew up, the one actually losing face would be her!
Even if she got the school leadership to expel Wang Xiaohua, she wouldn't gain any benefit herself.
On the contrary, it would make all the students feel she doesn't know how to conduct herself or handle affairs. She was in the wrong to begin with, and now she still wants to destroy the bright future of a student from the countryside — isn't that too vicious and mean?
Even saying she has a malicious heart wouldn't be an overstatement.
If at that time the classmates all don't stand on her side, then her position as counselor — wanting to carry out work in the class in the future — would probably be very difficult.
After all, a university counselor doesn't have as much authority as a junior high or high school homeroom teacher.
In the students' eyes, she's more of an optional existence.
"Teacher, why aren't you speaking? Today we must finish off Wang Xiaohua. Don't just stand there — hurry up and act!"
Wei Qian urged Gu Wenqing.
Gu Wenqing glared at him impatiently:
"Wang Xiaohua has been your roommate for three years, and you want to destroy him just like that?"
Wei Qian hurriedly said:
"No, Teacher. Isn't it you who wants to destroy Wang Xiaohua? I'm just submitting to your despotic power, forced to lend you a hand."
Gu Wenqing, hearing this, finally understood.
This kid Wei Qian has been speaking in opposites all along.
"Speaking of which, what exactly is the situation between Wang Xiaohua and his wife? How did he marry so early? Wasn't he always steady, rational, and well-planned? He wouldn't just marry lightly for a woman, right? And a woman with unstable emotions who jumps off a building to commit suicide just because she was told a couple of sentences……"
Gu Wenqing frowned, unable to help muttering a couple of sentences.
Even now she still felt that what she said to Wang Xiaohua shouldn't be enough to make someone jump off a building and commit suicide.
But the fact happened just like that.
To the point that even now she still finds it unreal, absurd, even somewhat magical.
Wei Qian said:
"Teacher, that's because you lack understanding of Xiaohua and his girlfriend. If you knew they were high school classmates, knew it was his girlfriend who came all the way to Beijing on her own initiative to chase him, knew his girlfriend is a girl who is not only pretty and beautiful but also gentle and considerate in character, then you wouldn't feel there's anything wrong with Xiaohua's current reaction."
Gu Wenqing was stunned, somewhat disbelieving:
"A pretty girl could fancy Wang Xiaohua's looks?"
Wei Qian took out a photo of Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia together to show Gu Wenqing. This was one of the few photos Wang Xiaohua had shared before.
Gu Wenqing glanced at Li Jianjia, and her heart gave a violent start.
This girl, judging by the photo, really is quite pretty, and she carries an indescribable special temperament — not something those women with exquisite, bewitching makeup can compare to.
"Why would she still commit suicide?"
Gu Wenqing couldn't help asking.
Wei Qian then told the truth:
"She lived too well in the first half of her life — a happy, complete family, never experienced any setbacks. Later her family suffered a huge upheaval: her father went to prison, her mother took all the family money and abandoned her and her father, fleeing abroad. She couldn't bear such a massive blow and developed depression. Wang Xiaohua chose to marry her at her most difficult moment — actually to save her life that was on the verge of collapse."
Gu Wenqing, hearing this, suddenly realized. So Wang Xiaohua married Li Jianjia under these circumstances.
Ordinary people, encountering their girlfriend's family suffering such a huge upheaval, and the girlfriend even getting depression, would probably have chosen to run away long ago.
Wang Xiaohua not only didn't run, but instead chose to marry Li Jianjia at this time, giving Li Jianjia a certain life — truly affectionate, righteous, and responsible.
This made Gu Wenqing have to look at Wang Xiaohua with new eyes.
Wei Qian continued:
"Wang Xiaohua saved Li Jianjia's life once. But who could have imagined that Li Jianjia's father would die suddenly in prison? This blow to Li Jianjia was too great. And then you, Teacher, called Wang Xiaohua at such an inappropriate time, said those inappropriate things, and let Li Jianjia hear them. This became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Speaking fairly, Teacher, you really deserved to be hit."
Gu Wenqing gave a dry heh-heh laugh, unable to say anything.
Wei Qian spoke again:
"The love between Xiao Hua and Li Jianjia is the purest, most beautiful I have ever seen — unrelated to status, unrelated to appearance, unrelated to benefit, one could even say it contains not a single impurity; a Platonic love could not surpass it. What a pity Heaven is unwilling to let such perfect love come to fruition, sigh..."
Wei Qian let out a long sigh.
A trace of guilt appeared on Gu Wenqing's face.
Now she no longer hated Xiao Hua; she even began to feel that Xiao Hua beating her was perfectly justified.
Such beautiful love was ruined by just a few sentences from her.
Wei Qian stole a glance at Gu Wenqing, seeing her lower her head, revealing a shamefaced expression.
He asked weakly:
"Teacher, Xiao Hua beat you — do we still need to report it to the Leader?"
Gu Wenqing came back to her senses and hurriedly said:
"What nonsense are you spouting? When did Xiao Hua beat me? These injuries on my face are from me falling myself!"
