Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Rong’s words made Li Hong hesitate. In reality, she didn’t actually want to escalate this matter to the principal. She just wanted to intimidate and threaten Jiang Rong and Xia Wan by saying these things.

While Li Hong was hesitating, Xia Wan looked at her and asked, “If you want to escalate this matter, I don’t mind accompanying you, but you need to think it through. If what Li Pan said is a lie, the entire school will know about her behavior today. Do you realize the consequences it will have on her, something you won’t be able to control?”

Though Xia Wan’s tone was calm, to Li Hong, it sounded like a threat.

She was a teacher, while Xia Wan was just a student. Now, why should a student like Xia Wan talk to her at the same level?

Li Hong snorted coldly, “Our Pan Pan has never lied. Since she told me this way, it means you are definitely wrong.”

Li Pan’s eyes revealed a sense of satisfaction. It felt good to have support.

This Xia Wan was truly foolish. Before, she couldn’t keep up with her studies, and she didn’t want to see Xia Wan study either. She kept telling Xia Wan about the benefits of entering society early to work.

She herself was falling behind and didn’t want to see her desk mate progress. But now, Xia Wan was not following her into decline; she wanted to become a good student. Naturally, Li Hong had to do something to teach Xia Wan a

lesson.

Jiang Rong wanted to advise further, but Li Hong wasn’t listening at all. So, they all went straight to the principal’s office.

At this moment, the principal was resting in his chair. The strong knocking on the door interrupted his thoughts completely.

The principal opened the door with a less-than-pleased expression, greeted by a group of people.

He frowned, “What are you all doing?”

Li Hong began to play the pity card, “Principal, you really need to address this. Jiang Rong is showing favoritism in resolving conflicts between students. I want you to help judge fairly.”

Principal Xue Shan felt annoyed inside. When he should have been resting, he was being asked to mediate conflicts?

He was quite displeased, but in front of these people, he had to maintain his role as the principal. So, he said, “Alright, come in and tell me.”

After hearing the account of the situation, Xue Shan looked at Xia Wan and asked, “Xia Wan, is what Li Pan said true?”

Xia Wan shook her head, “She’s lying.”

Xue Shan had experienced many things and encountered various types of people. He was well aware of the relationship between Li Hong and Li Pan. Although Li Pan was trying to hide it, he still sensed that her pretense of being pitiable was just an act. Occasionally, he could see a hint of pride in Xia Wan’s eyes as she spoke.

Subconsciously, Xue Shan believed that Li Pan was not telling the truth in this matter.

And Xia Wan’s attitude also surprised him.

To be falsely accused and yet remain so composed… Liu Hua, who was standing nearby, was almost about to cry out of anxiety.

Xue Shan nodded, turning to Xia Wan, “Then tell me about the sequence of events.”

Xia Wan maintained a confident posture and truthfully explained the situation, making it clear that she had intervened When Li Pan attempted to harm her.

Xue Shan was somewhat surprised, “You, alone, subdued three people? Have you learned martial arts?”

Xia Wan nodded, “During this break, there was a major incident at home. Many people tried to take advantage of us, but I fought them off and some of them even had to go to the police station.”

As she spoke, Xia Wan glanced at Li Pan and Li Hong.

Li Pan suddenly felt uneasy. Why was Xia Wan sounding so fierce now? She couldn’t be lying, right? She even sent people to the police station?

This was the first time Jiang Rong heard about these events, and she looked at Xia Wan with mixed emotions.

This child suddenly became so determined. It turns out there were problems at home.

Recalling what Xia Wan had mentioned in class, that her father was injured and they needed a lot of money for medical expenses, Jiang Rong’s imagination started weaving stories.

Li Hong involuntarily tightened her grip on Li Pan’s hand, then looked at her,

“Pan Pan, which of you and Xia Wan is telling the truth?”

Li Pan hesitated, but with so many people staring at her, she couldn’t back down. She gritted her teeth, “I’m telling the truth. Xia Wan is at fault in this matter.”

Xue Shan felt somewhat disappointed in Li Pan. He had observed all of Li Pan’s little expressions.

On the contrary, Xia Wan’s eyes remained resolute as she recounted the events. This was the demeanor of someone telling the truth.

Xia Wan looked at Li Pan, “You still have one last chance. If you admit your mistake voluntarily, I can reluctantly forgive you..”
