The atmosphere of the City High School's staff room was turning cold.
Yuan Meng was sitting relaxed on the chair while Mr. Yang, who was all blue from anger, was standing in front of her desk.
"What happened? Call the management here."
Yuan Meng smirked.
Mr. Yang stood silent and was not able to say anything more.
'She is not afraid of the management; did I kick an iron plate this time? She must have strong connections if she is so confident.'
Mr. Yang looked at her and studied her properly.
'She is relaxed as if she is not worried about her job. Can she really be related to some powerful people? What do I do? I only have my uncle, who is a school management committee member. I will be finished if she is related to the chairman or vice-chairman. Yang Kun, why did you have to act smart?'
Meanwhile, Yuan Meng didn't know that Mr. Yang was thinking as such, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
She stretched her neck and started to continue her work.
Mr. Yang looked at her as she completely ignored him and got busy with her work.
'What should I do now? If I don't say anything, I will become a laughing stock for everyone in the school, and if I counter, I might even lose this nice job. I don't know anything other than this, and it was my uncle who forced the school to accept me.'
Mr. Yang started sweating as he thought.
'Hehe, that Yang Kun definitely hit an iron plate this time. I don't think he will be able to get off this easily.'
The male teachers sneered in their hearts.
'This is what you get when you try to act smart. Idiot, now I want to see how you save your a*s.'
'Now, even that uncle of yours won't be able to cover for you. By how she behaves, that lady seems to have a high background and isn't afraid of the management.'
Meanwhile, Miss Ning stood up from her chair. She was just a few chairs away from Yuan Meng, so it didn't take much time for her to walk to Yuan Meng.
Miss Ning stood in front of Yuan Meng and greeted her.
"Miss Yuan, how about we go back home together after everything is over."
Miss Ning didn't want Yuan Meng to leave the school as she was her only good friend. All the others mocked her behind her back.
Yuan Meng brought her attention to see who was asking her.
She was thinking about which teacher could call her to go together as she wasn't friends with any of them.
She opened her eyes to the figure standing before her and smiled.
"Sure, Miss Ning, we will go together."
She understood what Ning Wei was thinking and didn't object to her.
As she finished, Miss Ning turned back and returned to her desk.
She didn't want Yuan Meng to make a mess here that she might not be able to handle.
She knew Yuan Meng's confidence came from Ye Qian.
After listening to the conversation between the two ladies, the people in the staff room were dumbfounded.
While Mr. Yang had his mouth wide open, enough to fit an egg in there.
"She is Miss Yuan!"
The female teachers started discussing themselves.
"I can believe that. How can she look completely different from yesterday?"
"I think she used some kind of cosmetics."
"Yes, that might be. Miss Ning and Miss Yuan talk with each other like friends."
"Yes, I think Miss Yuan finally found a new wealthy husband." Someone whispered silently.
"Yes, that might be the reason for her confidence. Did you not see how she behaved like she didn't need the job anymore."
"Yes, that man might be very wealthy, considering that she didn't even spare an eye at Mr. Yang."
Seemingly noticing their whispers, Yuan Meng narrowed her eyes at them.
The ladies shut their mouths and held their heads down.
"Trrriiiinnngggg"
At that moment, the bell rang.
Yuan Meng quickly packed her bag while trembling and walked out of the staff room.
Her eyes were red, and she was about to cry as she entered the bathroom.
When a hand was placed on her shoulder.
She was shocked and turned around.
After seeing the person, she fell in her embrace as tears started to drip from her eyes like a waterfall.
"Ahuu ahuu... Soob soob"
Yuan Meng started sobbing as she caught support.
"Why do people think like that; I am not such a woman. Sobb..boo..hooo"
Yuan Meng sobbed as she spoke.
The woman patted her back and consoled her.
"You don't have to think about the words of those whor*s. They don't know what you have gone through. They call you names, but they are the ones who eye other men even if they are married. Hell, even if they knew, they can't understand us. You shouldn't think about their remarks."
"But sister Wei, you heard what they said about me finding another man."
Ning Wei caressed her hair and patted her back as she comforted her.
"They only know how to make you feel dejected. Shouldn't you live your life however you like? Besides, your husband is back, and you must not let such remarks mess with you. Now that you are going to be happier, they will definitely try to make things more difficult for you."
"And if they really go beyond the limit, you must leave the job. I think your husband can earn some money while you take care of Qiqi and the house."
After saying that, Miss Ning stood there patting Yuan Meng's back for a few minutes until she eased up.
A few minutes later, Yuan Meng let go of Ning Wei and started wiping her tears.
"Hey, you look like a little puppy who was bullied now."
Ning Wei teased as she saw Yuan Meng was getting stable now.
"Humph! Sister Wei is the one teasing me now."
Yuan Meng pouted and threw her hanky at Miss Ning.
"Hey, are you going to show your face like this? Come on, it's getting late already?"
"Or is it that you don't want to meet your husband with such a face."
Miss Ning caught it and teased again.
Yuan Meng pouted again and went to wash her face.
"Hey, what's with the pouting thing, you look younger, but you are still the same age as before, don't do such immature things."
Once Yuan Meng came out of the washroom, Miss Ning chuckled.
"Sis Wei, you bully me again."
Yuan Meng countered this time as she took her bag from her.
With that, Yuan Meng and Ning Wei started to walk to the school gate.
"Hey, how about you come with me? I know you need to go soon."
Ning Wei said as they crossed the gate and arrived on the road.
There was not much crowd, as the teachers left about half an hour after the students were released.
"En!"
Yuan Meng tilted her head and stared at her.
"What don't tell me you still want to walk for an hour to go back to your house? Besides, we don't stay too far."
Ning Wei questioned her sternly.
Yuan Meng tilted her head and smiled as her eyes turned crescent.
"Don't worry, from now I won't walk back home. Qian'er told me to come by taxi, and he also gave me money in order to do it."
Yuan Meng took the 100 Yuan that Ye Qian gave her and waved at Ning Wei as if she was a little girl showing off her favorite toy.
"Oooh, Qian'er, that's quite an intimate name you call him. Hehe."
Ning Wei teased her as she tried to call for a taxi.
Yuan Meng's face turned red as she blushed.
"See there, a teen girl in love, blushing just because of the name she calls her boyfriend. So what does he call you? Tell me, I want to know."
Yuan Meng flung her purse at Ning Wei's back and hit her.
"Ouch, what are you going to kill me for. I was just teasing you."
Ning Wei snickered as she stopped a taxi.
A taxi stopped in front of them. Ning Wei opened the door and entered while calling for Yuan Meng.
"Hey, are you going to stand there and blush all night, or you are going to come with me?"
Yuan Meng shook her head and entered the taxi.
"Take us to Muqin Park."
Once Yuan Meng entered the car, Ning Wei called to the driver.
"Yes, Ma'am."
With that, the taxi started moving to Muqin Park from the City High School.
