Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

87 087 Humiliation

There was no other reason for this. The principal and Lu Qing’s grandfather were old comrades. However, the principal later switched to politics and was transferred to the education Bureau. Now, he was assigned to be the principal of this school. He was very open-minded and his attitude in school was not dogmatic.

Lu Qing obediently admitted his mistake. He listened to the principal’s advice on how to study hard and not be too impulsive. Finally, after showing some concern for old Master Lu’s health, he let Lu Qing out.

Of course, Lu Qing knew that this would be the result. He was not stupid. He would be a fool if he was punished for the sake of clarifying a rumour. However, this matter would definitely be reported. The principal would tease him for a while and at most, he would be scolded by his grandfather and told to stand by the corner as a punishment.

The teacher’s face darkened as he looked at Lu Qing helplessly. This child was talented and came from an extraordinary family. He did have the right to be willful. Since the principal did not say anything, he could not make things difficult for him. He only said, “Don’t mess around next time. Go back and write a self-reflection!”

Lu Qing agreed obediently and smiled at the teacher with his eyes narrowed.

The teacher’s anger turned into a smile. He rolled his eyes at Lu Qing and chided, “Why are you still standing there? Go back to the classroom!”

Lu Qing strolled into the classroom and the classroom turned wild. The boy shouted, “Our Prince Charming is back! Handsome Lu is so cool!”

Lu Qing chuckled and raised his chin at the boys who were jeering. He turned his head and looked deeply at Tan Rou.

Tan Rou smiled and looked back at Lu Qing. She gently nodded and mouthed, ‘Thank you.’

Lu Qing smiled and shook his head. He walked directly to Tan Rou and said in front of his classmates without hiding anything, “I’m sorry. I’ve caused you trouble because of a personal issue.”

He then turned to the other students and said, “I’ve already made it clear on the broadcast. Others might not understand the situation but I still hope that some of our classmates can be kind and not lie with their eyes open.”

Lu Qing glanced at Tan Jing and continued, “Don’t spread false rumors, alright? Don’t you feel ashamed?”

Tan Jing’s hands, which were hidden under the table, clenched tightly. Her nails dug deep into her flesh. Her face was pale and she couldn’t even raise her head. ‘Please don’t say another word! Hasn’t he humiliated her enough? I like you so much, why are you doing this to me?!’

When the other students heard Lu Qing’s words, they flushed with embarrassment as well. Lu Qing was right. The students from the other classes didn’t know the inside story, but in class, they had never seen Lu Qing and Tan Jing being close. They didn’t know when the scandal broke out but everyone started to kick up a fuss and acquiesce to such a thing.

Moreover, Lu Qing and Tan Rou were innocent. They didn’t say a word the entire morning. They just looked at each other and suddenly, there was news of Tan Rou seducing Lu Qing. It was really too strange. They saw it with their own eyes. They shouldn’t have joined in the commotion.

Li Li turned her head to look at Tan Rou and kept winking at her. She raised her thumb and mouthed exaggeratedly, “Lu Qing is so handsome!”

Many girls had the same feeling as Li Li. Lu Qing had said it so straightforwardly, which made them feel very happy! In the hearts of these girls, Lu Qing was handsome. Everyone had the right to admire and pursue him. Why did those people say that Lu Qing was Tan Jing’s private property? Usually, they didn’t even dare to talk too much about Lu Qing. Otherwise, they would be accused of lusting after Lu Qing and snatching Tan Jing’s boyfriend.

Most of the girls were indeed affected by Tan Jing’s delicate image and would not say anything in the past. They were willing to give their blessings but this time, Lu Qing’s actions aroused their true feelings. Lu Qing said that he didn’t have a girlfriend anymore. Then, what right did Tan Jing have to monopolise Lu Qing? Why don’t we even have the right to worship and love him?

Everything is fair in love and war! No one had yet conquered the handsome man’s heart so they should all be honest and compete equally. Tan Jing had actually considered herself as his girlfriend-to-be for so long and the other girls felt that it was unfair.

At this moment, the good impression that the girls in the school had of Tan Jing began to completely disintegrate.

Tan Jing held back his tears and pretended to be indifferent. She forced a smile and said, “Lu Qing is right. Let’s not spread those rumours in the future. In the past, I was too shy and didn’t even dare to clarify. Lu Qing is the brave one. It’s all good now that we’ve talked it out.”

Li Li wrinkled her nose and turned her head away in disgust. Too shy to clarify? Only a ghost would believe it. When others were gossiping about it, you were delighted to hear it.
