As the head of the school, he could no longer afford to lose his composure. In front of outsiders, it was essential to maintain an image of fairness and integrity, even if it ant going through the motions.

So, he said to Li Qiui, “Wait before you go.”

He looked at Lu Siyuan with a heart full of pain and anger, a student whose scholastic success had been marred—he was in the top three for academic performance, yet he had been ruined. “Tell what really happened.”

“I went to use the restroom, and I ran into Du Xiaohui. He was still holding a grudge for the ti I knocked him into the cesspit; he demanded that I kneel and apologize or eat feces. I refused, and we started fighting,” he said.

He paused for a mont and then made a special point, “This has nothing to do with Shen Mianmian. She just ca in to break up the fight. Sun He’s comnts were nothing but hot air.”

The principal stared at him for a while, seemingly judging the truth of his words, then turned his gaze to Shen Mianmian.

“You talk too.”

Shen Mianmian provided a concise explanation, “I was on my way to the restroom, and right when I got to the entrance of the won’s restroom, I heard people beating up Lu Siyuan in the n’s restroom, so I went in to break up the fight.”

Throughout her explanation, she didn’t dare to glance in He Nan’s direction, but she could feel his gaze on her.

Having had the opportunity to explain herself, she felt much better. Whether or not “Big Brother He” believed her, at least she had told the truth.

Li Qiui didn’t believe a word they said and questioned, “If that’s the truth, why didn’t you report it to a teacher? What help could you, a girl, possibly provide by running into the boys’ restroom?”

“At that ti, Zhao Lanlan, Su Xiaohong, and Wang Jingjing were all there. I told them to call for you. I was afraid Lu Siyuan would get beaten to death by himself, so I went in to break up the fight.”

Upon hearing this, Li Qiui instantly felt amused and thought she’d caught Shen Mianmian in a lie, “We were in the office the whole ti. Not one of the three people you ntioned ca by.”

You little girl, lying without even drafting it out first.

Shen Mianmian sneered inwardly; she had suspected as much.

Seeing that Shen Mianmian was silent, Li Qiui assud she couldn’t concoct any more lies, “Principal, you see, she’s lying. I’ll call her parents right now to co over.”

She failed to notice that the principal’s expression had turned sour. He was the head of the school, yet Li Qiui hardly gave him a chance to speak, always interrupting.

With an unhappy look, he glanced at Li Qiui, “Aren’t those three students from your class? Go call them here so we can compare their stories.”

Even though Li Qiui thought it was unnecessary, the principal had spoken, so she went to summon the three students.

Sun He shifted uncomfortably, not having expected Shen Mianmian to bring witnesses. The situation had escalated and even involved the principal, causing Sun He to fear expulsion. Therefore, he had deliberately tried to deflect the principal’s attention, pushing all the bla onto Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan.

Now, it seed he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

After about five minutes or so, Li Qiui walked back in with Wang Jingjing, Zhao Xinlan, and Su Xiaohong. Seeing Li Qiui’s smug expression, Shen Mianmian understood everything.

As expected, once the principal asked the question, Wang Jingjing and Zhao Xinlan imdiately chorused, “We returned to our class after using the restroom. We didn’t know about the fight and didn’t see Shen Mianmian.”

Su Xiaohong looked guiltily at Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan before murmuring her agreent, “I didn’t know either,” her voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.
