Chapter 328 - 328 328 Forcing Qingwu to Accept an Apology
Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Forcing Qingwu to Accept an Apology Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Forcing Qingwu to Accept an Apology Facing the unvarnished criticism from Professor Bing, Wen Youjie’s face burnt with painful humiliation!
Professor Bing is a bigshot in the domestic academic circles, personally persuaded to return by Principal Ye Qilan as a distinguished professor.
Professor Bing spoke with a heavy heart and earnest tone.
“Student, it’s okay to not excel in your studies, but if your character is flawed, then there’s no remedy!”
His gaze at Wen Youjie held a touch of helpless reproach.
Wen Youjie wanted to defend herself, but found she couldn’t utter a single word!
Jin Qingzhou frowned as he looked at her.
“This matter, I will report to the school leadership, and it will be dealt with severely!”
The last incident of Wen Youjie insulting Qingwu wasn’t properly resolved yet, and the school leaders still saw Wen Youjie as a particularly talented individual in design, suspecting that perhaps previous incidents were merely misunderstandings.
The department heads even wanted to arrange a private reconciliation between Wen Youjie and Qingwu!
Now it seems, it was definitely not a misunderstanding!
Wen Youjie began to panic.
She turned around quickly, attempting to grasp Qingwu’s hand, but Qingwu deftly dodged, leaving Wen Youjie grasping at air.
“Student Shen, I know I was wrong, I was just blinded momentarily… Can you forgive me? We are all classmates, and I don’t want to be punished…”
“If my parents found out about what I did at school, they’ll definitely kill me!”
“My family doesn’t care much about me to begin with, I really can’t be expelled… I’m begging you!”
Qingwu, gazing at the tearful Wen Youjie, slightly curved her lips into a smirk.
“Moral blackmail, always these immoral people trying to manipulate the moral ones. But sorry, I’m not moral either!”
As long as you have no morality, you aren’t afraid of being morally blackmailed!
“Student Wen, hiring trolls to slander me, openly insulting me at school, fabricating rumors, plagiarizing my work and then trying to blame it on me, where do you get the face to ask for my forgiveness?”
Meeting Qingwu’s disdainful and aloof eyes, Wen Youjie felt a sinking feeling in her heart!
Damn it! She had already shown submission, why won’t Qingwu forgive her!
Even being a Beijing resident, getting into a top-tier institution like Beijing University wasn’t easy.
Wen Youjie always felt proud of herself.
If she truly faced sanctions, or was outright expelled, she could not bear such a blow!
Seeing that Qingwu was unwilling to budge, Wen Youjie bit her lip, her knees bending as she was ready to kneel down!
Qingwu, noticing her movements, anticipated what she was about to do.
Preparing to leave with her bag on her back, Qingwu said calmly: “Mr. Jin, I’ll leave the follow-up matters to you. If the school always fails to handle these things properly, I might consider transferring schools.”
Jin Qingzhou was also aware that the troubles involving Qingwu had never been fully resolved!
Whether it be an accident at school or repeatedly being smeared by Wen Youjie, they were all undeserved disasters for Qingwu!
Moreover, whether it was family background or personal ability, Qingwu was an exceptionally outstanding student.
Professor Bing happily said: “If you don’t want to stay in the Design Institute, our Computer Science Institute welcomes you!”
Qingwu replied with a kind smile: “Professor Bing, the head of the Classical Music department next door has also invited me many times. If I really had to choose, it would indeed be a tough decision.”
The Ancient Zither Qingwu played when she just entered the school became the darling of the Classical Music department’s teachers.
Jin Qingzhou also recognized the severity of the situation, hastily agreeing.
“Good! Rest assured, I will discuss these issues with President Shen, and the school will give you an explanation this time!”
Qingwu glanced at Wen Youjie, who was staring at her eagerly, and sneered with contempt!
“Fellow student, I’m not your ancestor, not everything can be forgiven just because you kneel and kowtow. You’d be better off finding a job at an electronics factory.”
“Or if there’s any position where you can make money just by kowtowing, you might as well give it a try.”
Listening to the mockery in Qingwu’s words, Wen Youjie found her knees suddenly unable to bend!
Watching Qingwu leave the office together with Professor Bing, Wen Youjie clenched her fists, staring venomously at her retreating figure…
Wen Youjie stamped her foot and turned to rush into the principal’s office, tearfully accusing Qingwu of her behavior!
“Principal, I really realize my mistake, but why won’t Student Shen be forgiving when it’s possible to do so? My journey to get to this day has not been easy, does she want to ruin my life?”
“Principal, for the sake of my parents, please give me another chance…”
Wen Youjie’s parents knew Ye Qilan when they were young and often saw each other within academic circles due to their involvement in academia.
Ye Qilan looked at Wen Youjie who kept crying.
“I’ll ask Student Shen about it. It’s a minor issue; it’s good that you realize your mistake!”
Wen Youjie said with surprise, “Really? I am willing to apologize to Student Shen…”
If an apology could solve the problem, Wen Youjie was now very willing to offer one.
Ye Qilan listened to Wen Youjie’s account of the events.
It was nothing more than accidentally handing in Qingwu’s homework; this could only have been caused by the class committee’s carelessness.
Everything before this was just a misunderstanding.
Who knows whether it was Qingwu who had offended someone at school, resulting in Wen Youjie just happening to borrow that book?
Wen Youjie herself almost believed these excuses.
Ye Qilan made a phone call, requesting Qingwu to come to his office.
Listening to the story as recounted by Ye Qilan, Qingwu raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Ye Qilan was still oblivious to having been deceived, and said impatiently, “Since it’s all just a minor friction between students, don’t take it so much to heart. Let Wen Youjie apologize to you, and that will be an end to it!”
“Fellow students are future networking resources. Build good interpersonal relationships now; these will be your assets when you enter society.”
Qingwu listened to Ye Qilan’s attitude to trivialize the matter and curled the corners of her lips in disdainful laughter.
“Since Principal Ye is so magnanimous, then the last time Granny Pei accidentally kicked you, you should be able to forgive her too, right?”
That made Ye Qilan instantly remember the last incident!
That damned Du Lanyi! Because of her, he had to spend a long time recuperating in the hospital!
“Cough… The last incident was an accident; of course, I’ve forgiven it.”
“Accidents can be forgiven, but what about premeditated acts? Principal Ye, not to be rude, but are you sure you haven’t suffered any sequelae from nearly drowning last time? Your brain, pardon my directness, seems to leave one drooling even after getting better.”
Just as Ye Qilan was about to erupt in anger, he saw Professor Jin enter the office.
Professor Jin showed Ye Qilan a video.
“Principal, in this matter, Student Shen is the actual victim. If you show such bias, you might chill the hearts of other students!”
Ye Qilan had no clue that this was actually what had transpired!
But to stoop so far as to apologize to Qingwu now, Ye Qilan couldn’t bring himself to do it…
Qingwu said indifferently, “Principal Ye, I originally thought you were a lofty scholar, but now it seems… I was mistaken. My grandfather told me to relay a message to you, that certain matters cannot just be left as they are.”
Her gaze carried a touch of coldness.
“If the school can’t give me a satisfactory explanation, then I will stop attending classes. Goodbye!”
