Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Proof

Seemingly guessing the result the principal was about to announce, Chen Jie’s eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, as if the beliefs in his heart were destroyed in an instant. He took a deep breath and looked at the students below, yet he didn’t ask any of them to testify for him.

Clearly, he didn’t want the students to be involved in the teachers’ conflict.

As a teacher, making the students witness this scene, he already felt that he was at fault.

"Principal, I have something to say."

Perhaps touched by Chen Jie’s gaze, Shen Mianmian, who originally didn’t involve herself in the matter, stood up before the principal could finish speaking.

A good teacher makes great contributions to both the students and the country, and she didn’t want him to be disappointed.

"Does a discussion between teachers and the principal involve you speaking?" Li Qiumei glared at Shen Mianmian with a warning in her eyes. She thought, if this wretched girl dares to speak out of turn, she’ll have her to deal with.

With the matter of He Nan sponsoring tuition fees, the principal was looking at Shen Mianmian more favorably, and his expression had improved slightly.

"You may speak."

Ignoring Li Qiumei’s gaze, Shen Mianmian spoke out loudly, "It was Li teacher who took up the break time and Chen teacher’s class time. The problem was written by her after her class. Such behavior is very intentional. If we condone this, what if other teachers follow her example?"

Chen Jie’s eyes instantly brightened. He hadn’t expected the usually quiet and timid Shen Mianmian to be the first to stand up and speak for him.

His heart, which was slowly cooling down, felt like it was placed in boiling water, instantly warming up.

He was relieved. He hadn’t treated this child kindly for nothing. Aside from her acting skills, at the very least, her character was already spot on.

Principal: "..."

He was at a loss for words for a moment.

"Principal, I can testify that everything Shen Mianmian said is true," Lu Siyuan stood up and followed.

"Principal, I can also testify."

"And me."

A few brave students also stood up. Those who were timid and didn’t dare to offend Li Qiumei buried their heads really low.

The truth was becoming increasingly evident. The principal’s face grew darker. This Li Qiumei, lying in front of so many students, did she think he was senile?

With some apologetic glance towards Chen Jie, "Teacher Chen, you were wronged. You go ahead and teach the students. I will give you an explanation for this matter."

He then glared disapprovingly at Li Qiumei, "Teacher Li, come with me."

Having said that, he huffed out of the classroom.

Li Qiumei glared at Shen Mianmian ferociously the moment she spoke the truth.

Regardless of how the end-of-term exam results turn out, she had no intention of keeping this student anymore.

"Your sister is in trouble now. Everyone else kept quiet, only she had to show off and stand out. You saw the look Teacher Li gave her, as if she was about to devour her."

Zhao Xinlan said smugly to Zhou Siyu.

"Backed the wrong horse," Zhou Siyu was mocking Shen Mianmian in her heart, but with the previous incidents in mind, she didn’t dare believe that Shen Mianmian would really suffer a loss until it happened.

The Shen Mianmian of now was much sharper than before; she wasn’t the same person, and there was Chen Jie covering for her after all.

"I’m very sorry that you all had to see that scene just now." Chen Jie looked at Shen Mianmian with gratitude and appreciation, "Thank you for your bravery, teacher."

In the past twenty years, Chen Jie never imagined that one day he would be moved by a student.

"Teacher, I merely stated a fact. You are a good teacher," Shen Mianmian gave a bow to Chen Jie.

"So pretentious."

Wang Jingjing rolled her eyes, showing disdain for Shen Mianmian’s action.

Everyone liked Teacher Chen, but Shen Mianmian was especially good at apple-polishing.
