The director had only said a few sentences and the students had already begun whispering.
"Could this is about Jing Yunzhao…"
"Of course it is. Who else would it be? No one else caused a fuss recently. Especially since yesterday, you guys didn't get to see her dad. Mean and aggressive. He was screaming his lungs out about Jing Yunzhao hooking up with hooligans. It was originally a rumor but after yesterday, it became real!"
Even the people around Jing Yunzhao whispered these kinds of things.
"The students down there, please be quiet!" The director raised his voice and continued, "The recent case regarding hooligans, Jing Yunzhao and the school have already reported it to the police. Those people have been caught. After investigations and interrogations, it has been confirmed that those hooligans have zero relationships with Jing Yunzhao. The two parties don't know each other, therefore that matter regarding 'early love' is impossible. So from today onwards, the school hopes you would all watch your mouths. Do not speak mindlessly. All the teachers must also be watchful. If there are still students who spread rumors, stick punishment will be administered…"
The director continued to admonish for the remainder of the assembly. And at the end, he said, "Lu Jia from class two caused a disturbance at school. I'm warning you here again. If anyone does that again, a demerit will be recorded!"
After he finished, the students were in an uproar.
Jing Yunzhao felt relieved. A few strong emotions flashed through her eyes.
She's finally different from the past. She's now different from the one who was dirtied with rumors, the one who had a mouth but couldn't speak.
Qiao Hongye was in the row beside them. Her body shook intensely. She was unwilling to accept this. She hated hearing others speak about Jing Yunzhao the most. Especially like this, everyone talks as if Jing Yunzhao suffered a big mistreatment!
What mistreatment? Her parents had raised Jing Yunzhao all these years. Even a dog would know to repay a debt of gratitude!
Qiao Hongye glared angrily at Jing Yunzhao.
Jing Yunzhao suddenly had a strange feeling and turned her head, just in time to meet Qiao Hongye's eyes. The next moment, Jing Yunzhao's lips curved into a smirk, a cynical smile. It was cold, enough to make another nervous.
Qiao Hongye's heart skipped. Her aura instantly became weaker, then she turned her head around.
""Hongye, what's wrong?" the students around saw her pale face and asked.
"It's nothing. The sun's rays are too strong. It's making my dizzy," Qiao Hongye responded with a random answer. She could only feel the buzzing inside of her head. She felt strangely restless.
These students only frowned and didn't say any more.
It was early morning. Where did the sun come from? Even if it was noon, it wasn't summertime. How could being in the sun have made her dizzy? Plus, Qiao Hongye's expression was too scary. It was as if she wanted to kill someone. No one dared to mess with her.
Jing Yunzhao saw this whole exchange. Her eyes only smiled coldly and then turned her head around.
"Jing Yunzhao, I'm sorry. I spoke quite badly of you a few days ago, but I didn't mean it. I did that because I thought…" on the way back to class, a girl suddenly stopped Jing Yunzhao and said apologetically.
"It's okay. Everything's clear now," Jing Yunzhao smiled.
She's calculating and unforgiving towards her enemies, but the majority of the school held no evil intent towards her. She had no reason to keep score, especially since this girl had already apologized. It was enough to prove that her reputation was starting to turn for the better.
"This is the first time I've spoken to you! Everyone used to think that you're mean, but now I realized that you're not! Plus, your grades are so good…can I borrow your notes sometimes?" that girl instantly relaxed and said.
"No problem," Jing Yunzhao wasn't used to socializing. She spoke so little to the point that it seemed pitiful.
But that slight but refreshing smile surprised a lot of people, but she didn't notice it. The numerous stares of male students couldn't help but made her blush.
