Chapter 245: Shielding One’s Own
Chapter 245: Protecting the Shortcomings
He even used the name of his brother-in-law to oppress himself?
Principal Nian was angry in his heart, but his face remained composed as he looked at Chu Zisong: "You said that some students are having a premature love affair, do you have proof? Don’t tell me that a photo of holding hands counts as evidence!"
Chu Zisong was dissatisfied with Principal Nian’s tone, and said, "How can there be no evidence? Everyone in the school knows that Wu Jiangsheng has a crush on Jiang Mengyu."
As for the photo where Wu Jiang caught Jiang Mengyu’s hand, he could use it to intimidate Jiang Mengyu and Wu Jiangsheng, but it couldn’t serve as evidence for a premature love affair or even grounds for expulsion.
Principal Nian reminded him: "What you mentioned was a premature love affair, not a crush. As for a crush, it’s just a psychological response promoted by the secretion of hormones during puberty. As long as it does not cause distress to the person being liked, it is not under disciplinary action."
He thought and then spoke again, "A crush is just a psychological state; can you clearly know who has a crush on whom?"
Chu Zisong was not convinced: "But Wu Jiangsheng has given Jiang Mengyu love letters in the cafeteria, and many people have seen it."
Principal Nian: "You believe something like handing over love letters publicly? What he handed over was a confession letter fabricated by Jiang Huaiyu and spread by Wang Ya, Xiao Hua, and Lin Yuying."
"Speaking of confession letters, I heard that afterwards Wu Jiangsheng submitted photocopies of the confession letters of Jiang Huaiyu, Wang Ya, Xiao Hua, and Lin Yuying to the school committee; did you take any action against these four?"
Chu Zisong heard Principal Nian mention Jiang Huaiyu, his heart panicked a bit: "That was forced by Wu Jiangsheng to write, it doesn’t count."
Principal Nian replied furiously: "Their confession letters don’t count? Even if Wu Jiangsheng could force them to write, they haven’t done these things, how could they write so clearly?"
As he spoke, he threw the photocopies of the confession letters onto Chu Zisong.
Chu Zisong quickly picked up the confession letters.
Principal Nian’s voice gradually became angry: "You took a photo of holding hands and are ready to define it as premature love for Wu Jiangsheng and Jiang Mengyu, even threatening to expel them in front of many students.
Yet you ignore the confession letters confirming the rumors spread by Jiang Huaiyu, Xiao Hua, Wang Ya, and Lin Yuying; what exactly are you trying to do?"
Chu Zisong wanted to say this was not the truth, but Jiang Mengyu was standing beside him. Besides, there were also the confession letters from the four female students, Jiang Huaiyu, Xiao Hua, Wang Ya, and Lin Yuying.
He glared fiercely at Mengyu.
Usually, the principal would comply with anything as long as he mentioned his brother-in-law, and he had never been so assertive in front of him.
But today, even after he mentioned his brother-in-law, Principal Nian remained resolute. Was it because he wanted to save face in front of the students?
Jiang Mengyu saw Chu Zisong glaring at her, rolled her eyes, and looked out the window. She did not expect Principal Nian to be so tough. Isn’t it said that he was usually somewhat afraid of Chu Zisong, this "root of 2"?
Indeed, Chu Zisong has a nickname of "root of 2," which comes from his height. In fact, his height is more than just 1.414 meters. It’s said that his height measured in leather shoes is 1.64 meters, but it’s also said those shoes have hidden lifts; his actual height, not many people know.
Principal Nian immediately said: "Why are you glaring at student Jiang Mengyu? The evidence she has brought out is concrete! Unlike you, wanting to expel students based on some unsubstantiated rumors!
"I’m not making groundless accusations!" Chu Zisong immediately seized Principal Nian’s words: "Whenever someone speaks ill of Jiang Mengyu, Wu Jiangsheng immediately stands up to argue, even fights for her. If he is not in a premature relationship with Jiang Mengyu, why would he do such things?"
Principal Nian looked towards Jiang Mengyu, signaling her to answer.
