True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (25)
“Disgusting!” a girl blurted out, then turned away, bent over, and gagged. Her face turned pale, clearly genuinely repulsed rather than intentionally humiliating someone.
But precisely because she wasn’t doing it on purpose, it made Chu Xuan’s repulsiveness even more apparent. Chu Xuan immediately covered her face and turned away, infuriated and overwhelmed. She shouted, “Get out! All of you, get out!!”
Chu Xiang still had a shocked and bewildered expression on her face. The several girls were also quite scared. The disciplinary head specifically observed them and felt that they seemed to be genuinely unaware that Chu Xuan’s face had been drawn with something unsightly.
Chu Xiang’s expression didn’t seem fake either. Therefore, it was not very believable that she had drawn that unsightly masterpiece.
Wang Shasha stood in front of Chu Xuan and scolded them, “Stop making a fuss! What’s wrong with you? Show some manners! All of you, leave and don’t speak irresponsibly!”
The discomfort was immediately evident among the group. They were all classmates, and there was no distinction between them. Who was Wang Shasha to criticize and order them around? Chu Xuan’s current appearance was repulsive to anyone, let alone them, who were taken aback without any mental preparation. Why should she say they lacked manners?
The group’s expressions turned ugly as they were about to leave, but Chu Xiang suddenly stepped forward and urgently said, “Principal, teacher, you don’t suspect that I drew that thing on Chu Xuan’s face, do you? I didn’t, I didn’t cut the uniform, let alone draw on her face. I truly didn’t do it, please believe me. My classmates can testify for me…”
Wang Shasha also heard the principal’s update about the surveillance footage. She was also confused, but her habits over the past few months led her to believe it was Chu Xiang’s doing. After all, besides Chu Xiang, who else would do such a thing to Chu Xuan? So she forcefully came up with a reason, “You must have done it when no one was looking for those few minutes. Who knows if you bypassed the changing room and jumped in through the window?”
The difficulty level of that explanation was truly too high. It might be plausible in a spy movie, but the problem was they were just ordinary students. Everyone in the room found her statement quite far-fetched.
Chu Xiang’s eyes widened in astonishment. “Are you saying that within three or four minutes, I bypassed the changing room, ran that far, and…,” she seemed unable to continue, “Don’t be ridiculous. No wonder you and Chu Xuan are best friends. You both love falsely accusing people and spouting nonsense. Oh, by the way, what’s that thing on Chu Xuan’s face? Is it drawn with dots? It looks so realistic. To be honest, even if the best art teacher in the school was asked to draw it, they wouldn’t be able to finish it in such a short time. Besides, I can’t even draw. In my previous school, I just did enough to get by in art class. Last week, when we were handing in our art assignments, wasn’t my assignment dropped on the floor and laughed at by everyone? They were mocking me for my terrible drawing skills. And now you’re claiming that I drew those dots on her face?”
Chu Xuan was shaken, forgetting to cry. Yes, how could Chu Xiang be proficient at drawing? Last week, she intentionally dropped her artwork on the floor, leading Wang Shasha to mock her. Naturally, a few students followed along and joined in the mockery. That kind of ridicule was the most crushing.
How could Chu Xiang hide this talent so well? The whole class knew that Chu Xiang’s drawing skills were poor, yet she claimed to have drawn the dots on her own face. Who would believe her?
Wang Shasha and the other classmates were also stunned, while Chu Xiang, as if having figured something out, indignantly said, “I see it now. You planned this in advance, conspiring to frame me! Principal, teacher, Chu Xuan has framed me more than once in the past three months, at home and at school, at least eight times! She even planted her own necklace in my room to frame me as a thief. She has a bad character. The surveillance footage proves that I didn’t return to the changing room, yet she still falsely accuses me. Please don’t believe her. I value the opportunity to study at this school. Please don’t expel me.”
The classmates in the class knew how hardworking Chu Xiang had been after her near-death experience. Now, seeing her being falsely accused and desperately pleading with the school not to expel her, it deeply moved them.
Indeed, it was a “false accusation.” They saw Chu Xiang with their own eyes. Based on the time pieced together, they knew that she couldn’t have done anything. The surveillance footage also confirmed that only Chu Xuan was in the locker room at that time. Did they even need to mention the truth? It was obvious that Chu Xuan shredded the uniform and painted her face to frame Chu Xiang. She just didn’t expect there to be so many witnesses and the surveillance footage to be checked during the argument.
Thinking about the previous incidents where it couldn’t be proven that Chu Xiang was responsible, the expressions of the people looking at Chu Xuan changed. Could it be that those times were all Chu Xuan falsely accusing Chu Xiang, crying wolf while being the real culprit?
Yang Xueqing stood beside Chu Xiang and said to the principal, “Principal, there have been several similar incidents before. I would like to ask, how long does the school keep the surveillance archives? Can we still check them now?”
Yu Nan immediately exclaimed, “Yes, yes, we can check the surveillance footage. Chu Xiang was innocent in those incidents as well. By checking the surveillance footage, we can find out who actually did it!”
Yu Nan’s disgusted gaze fell on Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan was still facing away from them, but she was already panicking inside. If they check the surveillance footage and find out that Chu Xiang didn’t bully her at all, wouldn’t everything be over? She wasn’t afraid of how people at school would look at her, but she was afraid of her parents finding out the truth and giving up on her, just like in her previous life!
