Professor Yu sighed as she retold the matter to Zou Zeming who just arrived and then said, " Student Xua however said that you were with her which is why teacher had to call you. I apologize if I disturbed student Zou."
If this was her own student she could have been a bit unbridled but this was a student of the law department and she had long heard of how unreasonable the head professor Zhong of the law department can be when he wanted to, what was more she had some impression of Zou Zeming as well.
Though she did not know a lot about him, she did know that Zou Zeming's grandfather was a war veteran who was highly respected by the Mayor of this town. With this identity alone, he couldn't be treated carelessly.
As for his parents, it was even more impossible to not mention them without reverence.
As soon as Professor Yu finished speaking Xua Ying Yue turned to look at Zou Zeming with a languid gaze, her eyes were slightly red which showed her tiredness but other than that she looked completely unbothered by the situation. Even though her expression was cold, Zou Zeming felt his heart skip a beat when those eyes which were as dark as if they were dead turned to look at him and sucked him right inside the whirlpool which rolled inside of them.
" Ahem." Zou Zeming cleared his throat as he turned to look at Professor Yu and then nodded before saying, " She was with me, Professor."
" Is that—"
" You are lying!" Before Professor Yu could say anything, Qi Qing exploded as she looked at the handsome guy who was speaking up for Xua Ying Yue, even though she did not have much idea about why this woman was being helped by the guy she liked, Qi Qing firmly believed that the man was lying.
Even if she did not see the one who attacked her, she knew that the person was Xua Ying Yue because when she woke up, she was covered with dirty water. She might not be a scholar but she was at least someone with her wits intact, she at once realised that the person who attacked her and Fan Jiayi in the public restroom was Xua Ying Yue.
"Comrade you are surely funny, why will I lie when Comrade Xua was indeed with me, if you don't believe me then I can show you the pictures that we clicked, will you trust us then?" As Zou Zeming spoke he fished out his phone and showed the images that he had clicked with Xua Ying Yue to Professor Yu and the rest.
Qi Qing who refused to believe that something like this was possible immediately snatched the phone from Zou Zeming's hands and looked at the screen which showed the two people standing close.
Her eyes turned red with envy as she said, "This is …how is this possible? This is… this is wrong how can…you must be lying?!"
A sneer rang out in the staff room as Xua Ying Yue arched a brow and then said, " Are you saying that I attacked you in the public restroom and then called Comrade Zou who magically arrived in within minutes and then we clicked photos together?"
Though that was exactly what happened, as long as she did not show that she was guilty no one else would dare to say that she was indeed guilty.
Zou Zeming turned to look at her and suppressed the curl of his lips, he was quite certain that this girl could even fool a lie detector test if she was to sit in front of an interrogator. Look at the face which was so calm that it almost looked serene even her breathing was normal.
" You…" Qi Qing was furious as she looked at Xua Ying Yue, she wanted to say something but was interrupted by Professor Yu who snapped,
" Enough!" With her face twisted in anger, Professor Yu turned to look at Qi Qing who was speaking without thinking straight. " I have said nothing to you student Qi when you said that student Xua was the one who attacked you but she was clearly with Student Zou! You have wrongly accused someone and instead of apologising you are making a fuss, is this how you are supposed to act?"
Qi Qing was shocked when she saw Professor Yu scold her, she looked at Professor Yu and then turned to look at Zou Zeming and Xua Ying Yue who did not seem to be bothered by her fuss either and her eyes could not help but turn red as she pursed her lips and then turned around on her heels with her hands covering her face as she ran out of the staff room while sobbing.
Professor Yu saw the girl leave and was speechless, she already had a feeling that this year was not going to be good!
Helplessly she raised her hand and then covered her forehead with her hand and said, " Student Xua, you can return to class. I apologise for this facade, and I hope that you will not take it to heart."
Though Qi Qing was indeed in the wrong, she did not wish for the feelings between her students to turn stiff and their relationships to go bad at the start of the college. They will have to stay in this college for three years and unless they go for majors then it will be six years, it will be too much if their feelings were to turn sour so soon.
Xua Ying Yue's eyes flashed as she nodded and with a polite voice said, " I will not take this matter to heart, Professor Yu. You don't need to worry about something so small."
When Professor Yu saw how polite and courteous Xua Ying Yue was she was even more satisfied with her as she nodded and then said, " You are a good child."
Zou Zeming who was standing next to Xua Ying Yue almost laughed out loud when he heard the heavy praise which was given to Xua Ying Yue by Professor Yu, good child? And her? Does Professor Yu know these two terms cannot be used together!
