Chapter 177: Why Should I Apologize
Chapter 177 Why Should I Apologize
Mengyu did indeed do some preparatory studying last night.
However, it wasn’t mathematics that she had prepared for, but chemistry.
Chemistry was her weak point; she didn’t like things like electrolysis equations. As a result, she lost the most points in that subject during the college entrance exam. Therefore, she felt it was necessary to conquer it.
Luckily, whether due to her rebirth or cultivation, her comprehension abilities had greatly improved. Now, those electrolysis equations, once slightly complex and confusing to her, were much easier.
She spent an entire evening revising almost the whole of high school chemistry.
She even thought about getting a set of junior high textbooks to look over, as junior high is the foundation after all.
Indeed, Teacher Wu began praising Mengyu again: "Classmates, Jiang Mengyu’s attitude toward learning is what serious study looks like: pre-class preparation and post-class review.
You need to prepare before class; only then will you know where your weaknesses and problems lie. During the lesson, you’ll be able to grasp the key points and understand what you didn’t before. Reviewing after class is to consolidate what you’ve learned, as everyone’s brain has a...
So, I hope everyone will learn from Jiang Mengyu."
A male student couldn’t help but mutter, "Should we learn how to be ungrateful and treacherous from her, or how to be a backstabber?"
Teacher Wu immediately called on the male student: "Cai Yingdi, what are you mumbling? Don’t you know you’re supposed to raise your hand to speak, and only after the teacher gives you permission? Now, raise your hand first."
Cai Yingdi had no choice but to raise his hand.
Only then did Teacher Wu call on him: "Student Cai Yingdi, do you have something to say?"
Cai Yingdi pointed at Mengyu: "Just now, the teacher said we should learn from Jiang Mengyu. I was wondering if we should learn her ingratitude or her vicious nature."
All the students looked at Jiang Mengyu, expecting her to get angry or even burst into tears or a fit of rage.
But she just sat there quietly, not saying a word.
Upon hearing Cai Yingdi’s words, Teacher Wu immediately became angry: "Student Cai Yingdi, what are you saying? Is that how you talk about a female classmate? Apologize to Jiang Mengyu right now!"
But Cai Yingdi refused to apologize: "Teacher Wu, I didn’t say anything wrong. Why should I apologize?"
Teacher Wu wanted to get angry but held back: "Student Cai Yingdi, whether it’s acting or speaking, we should think it over in our mind first.
You claim Jiang Mengyu is ungrateful and vicious—for over two years as her classmate, have you ever personally witnessed her doing anything ungrateful? Or anything that shows a vicious nature?"
Cai Yingdi carefully reflected, and truly, he had never seen Mengyu do anything ungrateful.
On the contrary, she seemed warm-hearted and willing to help others. Whenever classmates had questions, they could go to her, and she would patiently answer them.
Teacher Wu asked the other students: "Has anyone here personally seen Student Jiang do anything ungrateful or vicious?"
All the students shook their heads.
"See, you haven’t. So, why would you assume that a fellow student is ungrateful and vicious?"
Still unconvinced, Cai Yingdi persisted: "But I heard that Jiang Mengyu was saved by Jiang Huaiyu’s parents. They raised her and paid for her education; they were very kind to her.
She got into university but didn’t want to go. Her biological mother took five hundred yuan from Jiang Huaiyu and sold her university spot to him.
Later, her biological mother sold her to human traffickers, and it was Jiang Huaiyu’s parents who saved her again.
Yet, after receiving such great kindness from her foster parents, she caused a scene at the university, preventing Jiang Huaiyu from attending university—isn’t this ingratitude?
I also heard that she smashed up Jiang Huaiyu’s home and stole money from Jiang Huaiyu’s mom. Isn’t this a vicious nature?"
