Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 413: Intend To Teach Her A Lesson

“I don’t meant that, of course…”

“Well, have you heard of Zhongteng, sir?” Xu Che asked the principal then.

The principal paused for a moment before saying, “I believe that it’s a newly founded arms industry…”

“If you had heard of Zhongteng, why aren’t you being careful around Sheng Xiao? I believe you ought to be.”

With that, Xu Che drew out a photo of Sheng Xiao golfing with Secretary He.

The principal jumped in shock when he saw that.

“W-why hasn’t the public been told about this?”

“Because Chief Sheng is taking the path of discretion. But even if he is being discreet, he hopes that you would regard him with the right attitude. What do you think? Of course, you could insist on your own opinion and disregard what I say, although things would get a little complicated for everyone when that happens.”

It would only be weird if the principal did not make out that pointed threat.

“Chief Sheng does not require your special attention, however. You just need to hand out the appropriate punishment.’

“I understand.” The principal quickly whipped out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat of his brow.

After all, he knew very well that the combination between Zhongteng and the Shen family would soon make them the most influential family in Jianchuan. What was more frightening was Sheng Xiao, who had turned the rotting to the amazing anytime he wanted.

“By the way, Chief Sheng doesn’t wish that the public knows about his status. He hopes that you could help keep that a secret, sir.”

“I can do that.”

“We shall wait to hear from you, then…” With that, Xu Che offered the principal a handshake. Although he did not think that his strength was astonishing, the principal’s right hand was white when he withdrew it.

Such a dilemma!

The principal could feel cold sweat dripping all over his body. Both sides were not to be crossed, but if what Xu Che told him was true, Sheng Xiao’s side was much more terrifying.

He had to handle this carefully!

Meanwhile, Feng Shanshan’s clique was still convinced that they had smoothed things out with the principal. So, they thought that all they had to do was find an excuse and apologize, saying that it was an early April Fool’s prank and did not expect that it would be blown out of proportion, while quietly waiting for the entire matter to blow over.

But would things really go as they wished?

“Huanhuan, don’t worry. We’ve already spoken on your behalf to the principal, and it would soon be in the past and nobody would bother you then.”

The girl named Huanhuan believed her best friends.

Nonetheless, the university ended up handing out a punishment.

The girls were convinced that an apology was enough to put the incident to rest, but it was decided that Huanhuan’s actions in framing a fellow student had caused major negative consequence that tarnished her faculty’s reputation. That was why after some deliberation, the university had decided to penalize her with demerit as well as have her apologize to Mu Qiqi and the lecturer involved publicly.

For a university student, a demerit was equal to having a blemish.

Moreover, the university would not consider any student with demerits for their postgraduate programs.

And when they saw the outcome, Feng Shanshan’s clique was left at a loss. Wasn’t the principal on their side? Why would it turn out like this?

Moreover, the girl named Huanhuan’s spirit was knocked off-balance when the outcome became clear.

Clearly, the idea belonged to her and her clique. And now, she alone had to be the scapegoat and suffer a demerit.

The other two girls knew that she was upset, and so tried everything to lift her spirits.

However, they were not able to stop Huanhuan from going home no matter how they tried.

She cried to her parents over the matter, who promptly slapped her twice. “Are you mad or are you stupid? You did something so embarrassing and you would still take the bullet for those two girls? Can’t you tell that they are clearly using you?”

“And to think that you would something so low as harming a fellow student. What a waste of my money to send you to such a good campus.”

“Go apologize to Mu Qiqi, and don’t mingle with that clique anymore. Go public with your side of the story—nobody is supposed to walk away unscathed from this.”

“Having my daughter be a scapegoat? What sort of rubbish parents raised such rubbish daughters?”

Either way, after thinking through things for the night, Huanhuan felt that her parents were reasonable.

Why would she alone have to cry her tears dry? And it was not the first time she realized that her two friends and Feng Shanshan had always fooled around without her, never really caring how she felt.

If that’s so, why not have everyone be miserable!

As such, early next morning, Huanhuan waited for Mu Qiqi outside the school gates.

When she saw her coming, she promptly walked up to her and said, “Mu Qiqi, I’m sorry for what I’ve done, and I’m apologizing to you right here.”

Mu Qiqi looked at Huanhuan, and then at her parents who were standing beside her.

So, she had come with company—perhaps that was the only way she would have the courage to apologize.

“You have been punished and I have gotten justice. I wouldn’t press the matter now that you’ve apologized too.” Mu Qiqi answered, viewing the matter as it was. “I only hope that you won’t do something so meaningless in the future—you’re an adult, be more mature.”

“I understand. I would settle the score for you!”

After Huanhuan had a heart-to-heart with Mu Qiqi, she returned to her parents.

Then, she uploaded the video she recorded beforehand and uploaded it on the school’s forum.

“The truth is that framing Mu Qiqi was something I planned with two other girls. We couldn’t bear with her prideful appearance at the time, which was why we wanted to teach her a lesson.”

“I had never imagined that things would come to this and for myself to be directly singled out. Perhaps that is what was meant by ‘Don’t do it if you don’t want anyone know’.”

“I’m uploading this video today not to shift the blame, but I’m calling for the other two masterminds to speak out as well. You two had me shoulder every responsibility after things blew up, but I don’t believe that I can keep it up. It’s a mistake on part of all three of us, so please, be brave and stand out, my two best friends… Fang Rong and Lu Jingjing.”

The school forums blew up again when the video went live.

What divine drama—one culprit was dragging an entire clique in the mess.

“It’s decided: Huanhuan was the scapegoat. The two other cowards don’t have the guts to admit their fault.”

“What the heck, this clique is crazy. It seems that bullying doesn’t need verbal or physical abuse these days… really, the year one juniors have too much free time.”

The other two girls almost fainted when they learned that they were being called out.

Neither of them expected that Huanhuan was capable of such a thing.

Moreover, Feng Shanshan, who had always been strongly supportive of them was now nowhere to be found.

Is the friendship between women all plastic flowers?
