The principal's face was expressionless, unmoved by Chang Yingying's plea. "Everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes. When you did this, you should have thought of the consequences."
Chang Yingying's face turned pale as she sobbed uncontrollably again.
The Dean shook his head helplessly and said, "You shouldn't have done it if you knew this would happen. Hurry up and go back to class. As for your punishment, we will have a serious discussion before we make a decision."
Chang Yingying walked out of the office dejectedly.
The Dean sighed as he watched her leave. "Why didn't you focus on your studies when you had so much energy to slander a student?"
The Principal looked indifferent and did not say a word.
Before long, Lu Xia arrived at the office.
She had come up with many excuses on her way to the office, but she still could not calm the panic in her heart. She finally calmed down when she received Papa Lu's message.
Hence, she did not panic at all when she stepped into the office. She nodded politely at the Principal, teachers, and others as though she was not the cause of the commotion.
The Principal could tell at first glance that Lu Xia was a scheming student. It was not easy for her to remain calm under such circumstances.
"Why did you instruct Chang Yingying to target Huo Yao on the Internet?" asked the Principal instead of Wei Mingzhe.
Lu Xia looked at the Principal with awe and respect. She clenched her fists and replied unhurriedly. "It's my fault. Huo Yao is an adopted daughter of the Lu family. She asked my father to use his connections to get some revision materials from the Education Association, and my father sent them to her.
I didn't agree with the unfair treatment of other students, so I mentioned it to Chang Yingying in private. I didn't expect her to stand up for me and expose it on the forum. "
Lu Xia smiled bitterly. She bowed deeply to the Principal and the teachers. "I'm sorry. Please give Chang Yingying a lighter punishment. I was the one who started this, so I'm willing to take responsibility for my words."
His attitude of admitting his mistake could be said to be quite sincere.
Those who could enter the Rocket Class were undoubtedly good students. Wei Mingzhe had witnessed Lu Xia's rapid progress in her grades over the past six months. He was moved when he saw her taking the initiative to shoulder the responsibility.
Hence, Wei Mingzhe looked at the Principal. Even though he had lost his dignity, he still spoke up for Lu Xia.
"Even though Lu Xia is at fault, we can't push all the blame onto her. She mentioned that Huo Yao was once the adopted daughter of the Lu family. Even though Huo Yao was the one who submitted the information for the National Quiz Contest, it doesn't mean anything. Moreover..."
Wei Mingzhe paused and turned to look at Lu Xia. "Did you say that Huo Yao asked your dad to get the information for the National Quiz Contest?"
Lu Xia nodded without hesitation. "To make things clear, I called my dad. He should be arriving at school soon. He can explain everything to me."
Wei Mingzhe had been in the wrong yesterday because of the competition materials that the Principal had given him. Now that he heard Lu Xia's words, he felt a little more hopeful.
