“Hello, everybody.” Zheng BuLu stepped forward and greeted all the students.
The group who had been reviewing their papers looked up and saw Zheng PingQing’s dad. Though things were currently a little awkward, everyone still had to be polite. They all nodded their head in greeting. “Hello, Uncle.”
Zheng BuLu walked over and looked at all the textbooks and exercise books scattered in their desks. He said in a remorseful tone: “I’m sorry about what happened just now. I hope you don’t mind.”
He YiJun also came over and stood next to Zheng BuLu. She apologized and said: “Truthfully, we love to have PingQing’s friends over. We really are delighted that so many of his friends are visiting…”
She paused, then reluctantly continued: “I sadly heard some words from your school teacher and misunderstood your intentions. Please forgive me.”
Guo DangLi and Li Gao looked at each other after hearing her words. They all felt a little guilty.
Lin Qian was the only one who looked at He YiJun with a puzzled expression on his face. “What did our teacher say that caused Auntie to have such a huge misunderstanding?”
Naturally, it was impossible for He YiJun to repeat those words. Especially now that she was very unsure about the validity of the things she heard. If she said those things and made an even worse impression on Zheng PingQing’s friends…
So He YiJun could only smile apologetically and vaguely say: “I think your teacher didn’t do it intentionally. You senior students are under a lot of pressure, and all the teachers probably take your grades a little too seriously. As long as a student’s grades drop a bit, a teacher will inevitably complain a few times. After gossip passes through several people, misunderstandings will naturally occur.”
Her words were quite clever. She didn’t say anything specific, but neither did she implicate herself. She simply pushed all the responsibility towards the unnamed teacher without outright blaming them.
“Really?” Lin Qian’s expression grew even more confused. He placed a hand on the table and gently tapped on its surface with a finger. “My dad is one of Zheng PingQing’s teachers. How come I’ve never heard him, or any other teacher, complain?”
He YiJun: “….” I was too careless! Why is there a wild teacher’s son here?!
Lin Qian continued his mental torture of her: “Which teacher complained? I’ll go back and tell my dad about this irresponsible teacher.”
Xu Yao angrily followed up with: “It’s too much. It’s already bad enough that this teacher doesn’t reflect on their actions, but now they’re flinging baseless accusations on innocent students?!”
Zheng Pingqing glanced at Xu Yao. He was pretty sure that his brother-in-law didn’t actually understand this showdown between Lin Qian and He YiJun. Xu Yao was just fighting for everyone from the bottom of his heart.
Ever since Xu Yao had started tutoring the underachievers, Xu Yao had begun to feel protective of them. He wouldn’t allow any baseless slander to hurt these students.
What an innocent and adorable assist from brother-in-law, ah.
Of course, He YuJin had just wanted to find a justifiable reason to keep her reputation clean. She hadn’t expected these students to be so serious regarding the matter. Xu Yao’s passionate speech gave her no other choice but to respond. Fortunately, she was a woman who had rich experience in manipulative spiels. In a slightly admonishing tone, she said: “I think it’s better if I keep quiet. I don’t want to worsen your relationship with this particular teacher as it might affect your studies.”
