The headmaster received a call that night. He was asked to go to the police station and pick up Ming Shu and Cheng Yan.
A straight-A student and a problem student were at the police station together, which astonished the headmaster. He felt the same as the policeman who had taken Ming Shu's statement.
Finishing up the procedures, the headmaster walked out with the two of them, an unhappy look on his face. Once they had exited the police station, the headmaster suddenly erupted, shouting, "Lu Meng, Cheng Yan, you two didn't go home tonight! What were you doing?"
More importantly, why ask him to come here? He felt ashamed!
Ming Shu pointed at Cheng Yan. "Headmaster, those people were going to make trouble for him. It's none of my business."
"None of your business? Why was it you who beat on people?" The headmaster was so angry he even wanted to blow himself up.
You injured those people so heavily they called the police. You don't feel proud of yourself?
Why didn't he ever realize the straight-A student was so fierce?
"Headmaster, it's really my fault. It has nothing to do with Lu Meng." If Cheng Yan didn't manfully confess his fault now, he believed he would be put on Ming Shu's blacklist forever.
"Cheng Yan!" the headmaster shouted angrily. "It's fine if you don't study, but you shouldn't be a bad influence on Lu Meng."
Cheng Yan wanted to explain, but was interrupted by the headmaster. "Fine. Lu Meng, don't play with Cheng Yan anymore and write a self-criticism for me by tomorrow. And Cheng Yan, if I find out you're leading students astray again, I'll ask the school to expel you. Now, I'll send you both home!"
Ming Shu's eyes rolled and she said, "Headmaster, I also don't want to play with him, but he always keeps hounding me and affects my studies. I suggest he be expelled as soon as possible."
"Hum." The headmaster snorted, not directly replying to Ming Shu. "Let's go."
Cheng Yan moved closer to Ming Shu. "Lu Meng, must you be so cruel?"
Holding her snacks tightly, Ming Shu ignored Cheng Yan and got in the car with the headmaster.
The headmaster sent them to the community gates and watched them walk in. He felt astonished in his heart. What a damning fate, that the straight-A student and the problem student lived in the same community.
Cheng Yan accompanied Ming Shu to her home. When he was about to leave, he said, "The headmaster is my uncle. Do you think he would listen to your suggestion? Lu Meng, see you tomorrow."
"..."
What the fuck?
This is some shady deal!
...
One trouble follows another. Ming Shu got into big trouble when she went to school the next day.
The students who came to the auditorium first to prepare for the rehearsal found that all the costumes that every class stored in there were stained with oil paint and couldn't be worn.
The Cultural Festival was coming. How would they perform on stage with all of the costumes ruined?
Not only the costumes of one class, but the costumes of all the classes had been ruined.
And Ming Shu was considered the primary suspect.
Ming Shu, who knew what had happened, stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at the stained costumes. The pungent smell of the oils suffused the place.
