Si Yu had seen this old man before. It was a long time ago when her uncle had come to Dragon City. However, at that time, the principal was much more energetic than he was now.
"Young Si, long time no see," Principal Shen Zhi smiled and said to Si Yu.
"Grandpa Shen, long time no see," Si Yu replied with a smile.
This scene caused everyone to have a plan in their hearts. No one had expected Si Yu to be related to the principal, not to mention their relationship didn't seem so bad.
Jiang Xiao's mother thought about it for a while before saying, "Principal Shen, you're still as energetic as you were in the past."
Shen Zhi stood up unsteadily with the help of her walking stick. "I'm old, and my body isn't as good as it used to be."
Chen Lin's mother was a famous mediator among the noble ladies in Dragon City. Just as she was about to say something flattering, Shen Zhi walked up to the table. "I heard that a few children had an argument. What happened?" she asked.
Jiang Xiao and Chen Lin looked at each other and wondered what the hell.
"Principal Shen, you might not know this, but my daughter's body is covered in bruises from the beating." Jiang Xiao's mother immediately began to cry.
Shen Zhi's expression darkened. "I'm asking these children why you're being so nosy. Are you afraid that they'll say something wrong? "
"No, principal." Jiang Xiao's mother immediately shut up and tried to explain, but she was immediately stopped by Chen Lin's mother.
At this moment, Jiang Xiao and Chen Lin had no choice but to speak. They exchanged glances and decided to go all out. Chen Lin said, "Hello, principal. It's like this. There wasn't much to do yesterday, so after we finished dealing with the Student Union's affairs, we thought of going back to our dorms to make our beds so that we wouldn't have to do it today.
"Who knew that Si Yu would come in when we were done packing and preparing to leave? She felt that the bed we left her was no good, so we said we could apply for a dorm change with the counselor, but Si Yu wasn't willing. She said she wanted to stay and insisted on sleeping in my bed. That bed happened to be next to Xiaoxiao's, so I wasn't going to get out."
Chen Lin glanced at Jiang Xiao, who continued, "It's no big deal changing beds, but the other bed was occupied ..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Si Yu couldn't take it anymore and interrupted them, "Do you even believe what you're saying? You're still staying in the dormitory?"
"Did you two sleep in the dormitory once last semester? Don't talk about such trivial things; the dormitory's bed wouldn't have broken with a light knock if it wasn't tampered with.
"There's a surveillance camera in the corridor. You were already inside when I went in. I went in and came out in less than 20 minutes. Could I remove the bed in front of you and push you within 20 minutes? Can't you be a little more logical? You're making up a lie even a three-year-old wouldn't believe. You really dare to talk such nonsense in front of the principal?"
Si Yu's explanation left them speechless. This matter could have, in fact, ended there. If they had to ask for proof, they could have looked up the surveillance footage. However, instead of letting it slide, Si Yu took a deep breath and continued, "You guys tore the bed apart, then pushed the blame on me. Then, your mother came up to me without saying anything and demanded that I apologize. Today, we'll investigate everything clearly. I demand that we deal with this strictly, in accordance with the school rules, and expel Jiang Xiao!"
Jiang Xiao's mother panicked and said, "Little girl, you're really a sharp-tongued devil. So what if you say so much? Judging from what you said, you already knew that there was something wrong with the bed. Yet, you still pushed them onto it. What were you going to do to them? You're so young. How could you be so vicious?!"
"You're only saying this because that's your daughter. If it was someone else, you wouldn't even look at her. If I was the victim, you wouldn't even be here today. Are you all going to stay on your high horse and ask me to bow my head and apologize? Who do you think you are?!" Si Yu retorted.
"And who do you think you are?" Jiang Xiao's mother was completely infuriated.
At that moment, the door to the principal's office opened. The person who came in said coldly against the light, "She is my wife, the matriarch of the Li family!"
Everyone in the office, including principal Shen Zhi, was stunned.
What was going on? The Si girl was married? Did that old man know? Such a demure girl was cheated away by the Chu family? Old man Si was furious. There was going to be a good show.
Shen Zhi's eyes darted back and forth between the two of them, her gossipy soul burning.
