Meng Jing was the first to receive the call.
Listening to the Dean's stern voice on the other end of the phone, Meng Jing's cheeks began to turn red and hot. Her eyes also overflowed with tears because of the Dean's words. In the end, she glanced at the girls standing beside her with red eyes, grunted, and slowly hung up the phone.
When Meng Jing received the call, the other girls didn't realize that the call Meng Jing received had something to do with them.
They thought that Meng Jing's parents called to tell her that she didn't do well in the exam.
Thinking of the strict requirements that Meng Jing's parents had for her grades, one of the girls even comforted her after Meng Jing hung up the phone. "Meng Jing, did your parents scold you? The exam questions were difficult to begin with. It's not your fault that you didn't do well."
Meng Jing didn't feel comforted by her friends. Instead, when she thought of the Dean's words, her body started to tremble uncontrollably.
These people all thought that what she said about Lin Chen was true, but in reality, she knew very well that it was all a lie.
Once they arrived at the Dean's office and the Dean asked, these people could quickly clear their names and she would become the culprit who spread the rumors.
Thinking of what Lin Chen said just now, Meng Jing's body started to tremble uncontrollably.
Her friends who thought that Meng Jing was acting like this because of the pressure from her parents instantly realized that something was wrong when they saw Meng Jing trembling all of a sudden.
If it was really just because of her parents, why would Meng Jing be so scared? Her behavior was more like …
Thinking of what Jiujiu said about the Dean, the friend who asked Meng Jing the question immediately reacted. She pulled Meng Jing's arm and asked, "Meng Jing, who called just now? Was it the Dean? "
Meng Jing's body trembled even more violently when someone guessed correctly. Her face even started to twitch uncontrollably. Slowly, her eyes were filled with fear.
Originally, they thought that even if the Dean looked for them, as long as this matter was true, they wouldn't be in too much trouble. But now, seeing Meng Jing like this, the others who were originally very confident about this matter instantly panicked.
If it was true, why would Meng Jing be so flustered? The only possibility was that it was fake.
The face of the girl who had a good relationship with Meng Jing instantly sank. Her eyes were like searchlights as she stared at Meng Jing's face. She gritted her teeth and said, "Meng Jing, is Lin Chen's matter true, or did you …"
She didn't say the last few words because there was still a trace of hope in her heart.
Even if Lin Chen's story was fake, she did say it.
Originally, if this matter was true, the most she could say was that she had a foul mouth. But if it was false, then her crime would be huge.
She thought about how Lin Chen had gotten first place in the entire grade for the three monthly exams. Moreover, Lin Xing and Fan Cheng, who were close to her, had excellent academic results.
If the three of them threatened to transfer to another school, then the school would definitely not allow them to stay there.
If their parents found out that they were expelled because of spreading rumors about their female classmates, they would be finished.
This time, not only did the girls who were close to Meng Jing change their faces, the other girls who were not close to Meng Jing also completely turned hostile.
Being stared at by so many people like wolves and tigers, Meng Jing felt like she was a weak little rabbit. And these people would explode at any time and bite her throat.
Meng Jing gulped and lowered her head. She faced death calmly and said, "The Dean asked us to return to school. He said that he has something to tell us."
After receiving an affirmative answer, the others all started to ask, "Meng Jing, is Lin Chen's matter true or false?"
There was no turning back for the Dean to ask them to return to school. Their only hope was that what Meng Jing said about Jiujiu was true.
As long as this matter was true, they would have a chance to talk.
But.
Looking at Meng Jing's forehead that kept breaking out in cold sweat, this possibility was very small.
The others had no grudges against Lin Chen. They only said that about Jiujiu because of Meng Jing. Moreover, they didn't say anything at all just now. In the end, they were called by the Dean. Moreover, they weren't fools. Naturally, they knew that this matter could be solved with just a scolding. They instantly panicked.
One of the more timid girls burst into tears.
"If my mom knows that I said those things, she will kill me."
"My mom will kill me too."
…
And so on. There were countless words of regret.
Soon, a girl wiped her tears as she looked at Meng Jing and said, "Meng Jing, you're the one who told us all this. If the Head of Teaching asks about it, you have to explain it to him properly. We only said that because we trusted you."
After a girl started speaking, someone else quickly followed. "Yes, Meng Jing. As long as what you said is true, even if Lin Chen's grades are good, the Dean will definitely stand on your side."
What made Meng Jing almost despair was that her friend, the girl she thought would definitely help her, also said, "Jing Jing is so kind. She will definitely speak up for us."
This was equivalent to pushing Meng Jing out and letting her bear the anger of the Dean and Jiujiu alone.
Even if they also said those disgusting things, they only said those things because they were close to Meng Jing.
Even if the Dean punished them, they were just gossips.
These girls changed sides at the last minute. Meng Jing, who didn't have a strong psychological endurance, almost suffocated.
Meng Jing looked at her friends who were close to her just now and turned hostile in such a short time. She even started to plan how to push her out when they met the Dean later so that they could escape.
Even though she knew that some relationships were as thin as a piece of paper, Meng Jing didn't expect their friendship to be so fragile.
After being disheartened for a long time, Meng Jing suddenly understood.
Meng Jing curled her lips. She wanted to smile, but she couldn't.
All kinds of emotions mixed in her heart. After a long time, Meng Jing sighed and said, "I will speak up for you."
She would definitely speak nicely and let the teacher know how they had slandered Lin Chen.
Once they got on her pirate ship, none of them could escape.
Although the others felt that Meng Jing's expression was a little strange, they thought that Meng Jing had already promised them. They heaved a sigh of relief and went to the Dean's office together.
The Dean was a man in his forties.
Because of his old-fashioned personality, his gentle appearance also had a hint of sternness.
When he saw the girls coming in together, he frowned and instantly became serious.
The Dean looked straight at Meng Jing, who was standing in front of everyone, and spoke with an even more old-fashioned voice. "Do you know your mistake?"
