The morning bell rang, and the noisy crowd instantly calmed down. However, the sharp-eyed students noticed that Li Yunmei’s seat was still empty.
Jian Ai naturally saw it too. She thought that Li Yunmei would find trouble with her again today. Jian Ai guessed that she had injured herself after that split yesterday. Hence, she did not expect her to appear since her legs probably haven’t recovered yet.
“Jian Ai, come out for a moment.”
While the students were studying, the form teacher, Teacher Li, appeared at the classroom door and called for Jian Ai.
Jian Ai was the focus of attention in the class now. After Teacher Li mentioned her name, the students instantly turned their attention to Jian Ai.
Jian Ai was stunned for a moment before putting down the book in her hand. She then left the class under her classmates’ gaze.
“Teacher Li, you were looking for me.”
In the corridor, Jian Ai came to Teacher Li and spoke softly yet respectfully.
Teacher Li’s expression was a bit grave. Jian Ai knew in her heart that it was probably something bad.
“Yesterday at the school gate, did you fight with Li Yunmei?” As expected, the first thing Teacher Li said was about the fight yesterday.
Jian Ai didn’t argue but nodded indifferently. “Yes.”
There were surveillance cameras at the main gate of the school, and there were so many witnesses. Jian Ai knew that it was impossible to hide this matter, so she admitted it.
Teacher Li could not help but take a deep breath. In her eyes, Jian Ai had always been the most obedient and sensible child in the class. Her learning attitude was also earnest. As the form teacher, she liked this kind of student the most.
When she heard what had happened that day, she thought it was a rumor first because she didn’t believe that Jian Ai would fight with anyone.
However, at that moment, the most obedient student in her eyes admitted it. This made her momentarily speechless, but she was even more disappointed.
Jian Ai naturally knew Teacher Li’s expectations for her. She quickly explained, “Teacher, Li Yunmei was the one who started the fight yesterday. She hit us first. There were five people on the other side. If I didn’t retaliate, I’m afraid I would be beaten up.”
Teacher Li nodded gently when she heard that. “Of course, I believe that you wouldn’t fight with others for no reason. But even if you were defending yourself, you were too harsh on her. Li Yunmei’s thigh muscles are injured. She wouldn’t be able to recover in less than half a month. Her mother went to the principal’s office. She insisted on the principal to expel you. Follow me to the principal’s office and sincerely apologize to Li Yunmei. I’ll help you put in a good word as well.”
Teacher Li looked a little worried. Although Jian Ai’s family background was not good, her results were outstanding. If she were expelled from school because of fighting, it would affect her future significantly.
However, Jian Ai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Teacher Li’s worry.
Did Li Yunmei’s mother go to the principal’s office? Was it because Li Yunmei’s thigh muscles were injured, and she blamed that on her?
However, Li Yunmei was injured because she did the split herself. What did it have to do with others?
“Teacher, you might not know this very well. I did fight with Li Yunmei, but I hit the other two girls. As for Li Yunmei, I didn’t even touch her!” Jian Ai said to Teacher Li innocently.
