True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (24)
At the disciplinary office, Chu Xuan had been crying for half the day. The disciplinary head was a strict man in his forties, and many students were afraid of him. When he learned about the incident of a student shredding someone else’s school uniform, he immediately took it seriously and asked for a detailed account of what had happened.
Chu Xuan selectively narrated the incident, mixing some truths with falsehoods, portraying herself as a kind person being victimized and highlighting Chu Xiang’s arrogant words and actions.
The disciplinary head frowned tightly and made a phone call to summon the homeroom teacher of their class to understand the situation and investigate the matter.
Chu Xuan didn’t want another person to see her face, but there was no choice. The incident had been reported to the school, and it involved the safety of other students, so it had to be thoroughly investigated.
The homeroom teacher was a young female teacher who didn’t possess the same composure as the disciplinary head. Although she tried hard to control her expression upon seeing Chu Xuan’s face, her expression still appeared stiff. Moreover, she quickly averted her gaze and focused on listening to the disciplinary head.
The homeroom teacher had heard some rumors about the past incidents, but because they hadn’t escalated and were related to conflicts within the Chu family, she had turned a blind eye to them. However, now that the situation had become so severe, with such a negative impact, she immediately called Chu Xiang to the disciplinary office.
Chu Xuan believed she was good at acting, but that was because she had never seen Chu Xiang.
The disciplinary head, at first glance, perceived Chu Xiang as an innocent child. Having served as a disciplinary head for five years and previously as a homeroom teacher for many years, he had a keen eye and couldn’t be mistaken. Therefore, in that instant, he furrowed his brows again, instinctively feeling that this matter was tricky.
When Wang Shasha saw Chu Xiang, she became angry and pointed at her, scolding, “Look at what you’ve done! If you’re mentally ill, go to a mental hospital. What’s your skill in bullying Chu Xuan? You’re a pervert!”
The homeroom teacher intervened, “Calm down. If you have something to say, say it calmly. No fighting allowed.”
Chu Xiang calmly addressed the two teachers, “I didn’t cut Chu Xuan’s school uniform. Her uniform was already cut once before, and they insisted it was me. Even Chu Xuan herself claimed it was me, but I really didn’t cut it. I cherish the opportunity to study at school. They think I’m jealous of Chu Xuan, but compared to my past life, my current life is like heaven. I have no reason to trouble myself. If my parents end up hating me and send me back to the Chen family, I’ll be in a miserable state. So, I absolutely wouldn’t bully Chu Xuan, and I would never violate the school rules. Please trust me, teachers.”
She had the appearance of a typical diligent student, and anyone who saw her would think she was well-behaved.
Chu Xuan covered her face, trembling with anger. If there weren’t others around, she would have already lunged at Chu Xiang and scratched her face! The disgusting liar! It was the kind of nightmare that would wake her up, how could Chu Xiang dare to do that?!
Chu Xuan cried, “Chu Xiang, you’re lying! You clearly threatened me in the changing room just now…”
Wang Shasha supported Chu Xuan’s shoulder and glared fiercely at Chu Xiang, “Xuanxuan has tolerated you time and time again, and you, without remorse, have intensified your bullying. How can you be so disgusting? Principal, expel her. Someone like her doesn’t deserve to study in our school.”
The disciplinary head noticed Chu Xiang’s evident nervousness and exclaimed in alarm, “Expel her? Principal, it wasn’t me! By the way, there are witnesses in my class. After class, I was with my classmates, and many of them saw me. I didn’t even go to the changing room to cut the uniform. They can testify for me. No, I’m going to find them. I am innocent, you mustn’t expel me!”
Chu Xiang didn’t give them a chance to stop her and turned around and ran out. Chu Xuan stiffened all over and immediately stood up to leave, but the homeroom teacher pressed her down.
The homeroom teacher frowned, “Don’t go after her. If she finds her classmates, she’ll come back for sure. She still wants to go to school. Calm down a bit, I will definitely help you get to the bottom of this and find out who’s behind this prank.”
Chu Xuan covered her face and shook her head urgently, her voice filled with anxiety, “Teacher, I don’t want people to see me like this. It’s too ugly, please, Teacher.”
The homeroom teacher hesitated for a moment, but from her perspective, it wasn’t a big deal. “You’re the victim. Others won’t mock you for this, so don’t worry. It’s most important to investigate the matter thoroughly.”
“In that case, I won’t investigate. I really can’t bear so many people seeing my face. Don’t investigate, teacher…”
The disciplinary head furrowed his brow and said, “Student, this is no longer just your personal matter. If we don’t investigate this vile behavior thoroughly, the school will be filled with fear, and who will be in the mood to attend classes?”
He made a phone call, instructing the areas in the school with surveillance cameras to retrieve and review the footage to see if there were any clues.
There were surveillance cameras in many areas of the school, and whether the witnesses brought by Chu Xiang were telling the truth or not, the surveillance footage wouldn’t lie.
Chu Xuan was still trying to find a way to run away when Chu Xiang returned with seven or eight classmates, panting.
“Principal, they can all testify for me. I really didn’t cut the uniform.”
Yu Nan, Yang Xueqing, and a few other classmates who had seen Chu Xiang during break time all spoke up about what they knew. They couldn’t directly prove that Chu Xiang hadn’t done it, but by piecing together the times they had seen Chu Xiang, it became clear that it was impossible for anyone to perfectly evade people and go to the changing room to cut the uniform in such a short time.
Wang Shasha naturally believed what Chu Xuan said and immediately suspected Yu Nan and Yang Xueqing, saying, “Did Chu Xiang drug you both? How can you help her lie?”
Yu Nan and Yang Xueqing experienced the feeling of being wrongly accused in public for the first time. At that moment, they empathized with Chu Xiang and felt disgust towards Wang Shasha. They spoke coldly, “So you enjoy splashing dirty water on others, huh? We have surveillance footage as evidence of whether we lied or not.”
At that moment, the staff in the surveillance room called the disciplinary head back. The footage showed that Chu Xiang’s activities during the break perfectly matched the testimonies of the “witnesses.” Chu Xiang didn’t even enter the changing room after changing clothes. From the footage prior and after the incident, it was clear that only Chu Xuan was in the changing room during that time!
Chu Xuan raised her head in astonishment, and her face was revealed at that moment. The office was filled with horrified screams, and Chu Xiang and her classmates wore expressions of shock.
