87 087 Humiliation

There was no other reason for this. The princ.i.p.al and Lu Qings grandfather were old comrades. However, the princ.i.p.al later switched to politics and was transferred to the education Bureau. Now, he was a.s.signed to be the princ.i.p.al of this school. He was very open-minded and his att.i.tude in school was not dogmatic.

Lu Qing obediently admitted his mistake. He listened to the princ.i.p.als advice on how to study hard and not be too impulsive. Finally, after showing some concern for old Master Lus 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 princ.i.p.al 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 teachers 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 princ.i.p.al did not say anything, he could not make things difficult for him. He only said, Dont 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 teachers anger turned into a smile. He rolled his eyes at Lu Qing and chided, Why are you still standing there? Go back to the cla.s.sroom!

Lu Qing strolled into the cla.s.sroom and the cla.s.sroom 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 cla.s.smates without hiding anything, Im sorry. Ive caused you trouble because of a personal issue.

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

Lu Qing glanced at Tan Jing and continued, Dont spread false rumors, alright? Dont you feel ashamed?

Tan Jings hands, which were hidden under the table, clenched tightly. Her nails dug deep into her flesh. Her face was pale and she couldnt even raise her head. Please dont say another word! Hasnt he humiliated her enough? I like you so much, why are you doing this to me?!

When the other students heard Lu Qings words, they flushed with embarra.s.sment as well. Lu Qing was right. The students from the other cla.s.ses didnt know the inside story, but in cla.s.s, they had never seen Lu Qing and Tan Jing being close. They didnt 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 didnt 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 shouldnt 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 Jings private property? Usually, they didnt even dare to talk too much about Lu Qing. Otherwise, they would be accused of l.u.s.ting after Lu Qing and s.n.a.t.c.hing Tan Jings boyfriend.

Most of the girls were indeed affected by Tan Jings delicate image and would not say anything in the past. They were willing to give their blessings but this time, Lu Qings actions aroused their true feelings. Lu Qing said that he didnt have a girlfriend anymore. Then, what right did Tan Jing have to monopolise Lu Qing? Why dont we even have the right to wors.h.i.+p and love him?

Everything is fair in love and war! No one had yet conquered the handsome mans 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. Lets not spread those rumours in the future. In the past, I was too shy and didnt even dare to clarify. Lu Qing is the brave one. Its all good now that weve 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.
