Chapter 582: Knowing to Regret Now

"This" Shen Jingyan just started to say something.

At this point, the man who had been sitting casually and quietly by the side placed his gla.s.s on the table. The sound it made wasn't particularly loud or soft.

The atmosphere in the office was almost chaotic initially. This sound should have gone unnoticed.

Yet, besides Princ.i.p.al Yu who turned towards him, even Shen Jingyan who was about to speak also went quiet. He turned around intuitively as well.

Ye w.a.n.gchuan was in a s.h.i.+rt and pants today. The pants made him look especially tall, and his long legs caught the eyes of those present. His black coat accentuated that effect, highlighting his figure.

He was good-looking as it was.

Even someone like Gu San knew about the comment that went around: there were three beautiful views in Beijingthe skies, the seas, and Ye w.a.n.gchuan. That was how incredibly handsome he was! His eyes were squinted, and the high nose bridge showed off in his side profile was especially attractive as well. Even Qiao Chen's gaze was turned to him

He pursed his lips as his cold eyes exuded a strangely leisurely feeling. "Mr. Shen, how you educate your child is your personal matter. Since this case has been clarified, can we leave now?"

The first sentence was meant for Shen Jingyan, while the second was for Princ.i.p.al Yu.

Princ.i.p.al Yu reacted instantly and quickly got out of his seat. He smiled politely and said, "Oh yes, I almost forgot about this altogether, silly me."

He was a smart person. He turned around and, instead of speaking to Ye w.a.n.gchuan, addressed Qiao Nian. "Qiao Nian, since this has been clarified, you may return first. I'll get your Form Teacher to inform you about how this matter will be handled by the school."

He paused as he looked up at Wu Jie who was scared by now. He looked away sympathetically, then said quietly, "Don't worry, the school will definitely give you a fair explanation."

For students like Wu Jie who maliciously spread rumors, a punishment was definitely going to be imposed. This was according to the school rules and regulations.

If it wasn't for Qiao Nian saying that the College Entrance Examinations were upcoming soon and that Wu Jie should not be expelled because of such a matter since she had good grades, the school would really have considered expulsion in order to please Ye w.a.n.gchuan.

Wu Jie heard every word Princ.i.p.al Yu said and suddenly looked up at him. Her eyes behind those gla.s.ses turned red and she clenched her fists in fear.

She turned to look at Qiao Chen, who had had no qualms about shoving all responsibility to her. She then looked at the other girl who appeared cold and distant, but who had never once treated her badly or bullied her. Eventually, she mustered the courage to call out to her. "Qiao Nian."

Qiao Nian stopped in her tracks and turned around.

Wu Jie looked extremely pathetic at this moment, and her tears finally fell.

She choked on her words as she said, "That day, after you, Liang Bowen, and the rest left, it was really Qiao Chen who deliberately told me about it. She said that you'd beaten someone up and caused that person serious injuries. She even told me that as long as I blew this matter up, the school would surely punish you. I wasn't thinking right at that moment and hence put it up on the school forum I know I did wrong. I shouldn't have been jealous of you. But if it wasn't for Qiao Chen instigating me over the phone, telling me that it would be pointless if I just went to the teacher since the teacher would defend you for your good results, I wouldn't have thought of posting on the forum. I'm sorry"

She was guilty and regretful all at once, but more than that, she was fearful of being punished.

Covering her face, tears dripped down her fingers. She was evidently upset.
