Chapter 51: I Want to Report Someone
“Let’s talk about the reputation, shall we?”
The following words were a blatant threat.
“Hmph.” Su Hua gave a low laugh, “Do you even know who this mistress of yours is?”
Luo Yuan didn’t know why, but as he looked into Su Hua’s eyes, an ominous feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
“The mistress… is me—Su Hua.” Su Hua said coldly with lips pursed.
Boom!
A thunderous shockwave struck.
Not only Luo Yuan, but also Li Siyu and those students widened their eyes in disbelief.
So Su Hua was the one by the principal’s side… What they had said on the forum against Su Zong…
Li Siyu and other students quickly pulled out their phones to delete posts. This Su Zong wasn’t someone they could afford to offend.
“Does this Li Siyu see Westerlies through her best friend’s eyes?” One female student snarked, “She actually claims Su Zong envies Qin Ruoyao? That’s hilarious! The woman has beauty and family background; why would she envy her?”
“Yeah, I helped Qin Ruoyao bash Su Zong, hoping Su Zong doesn’t hold it against us.”
Qin Ruoyao awkwardly clutched her clothes.
She had always been like the moon surrounded by stars, but things seemed to have changed this semester. Right, ever since Lin Xuan’s attitude towards her changed, everyone else’s did too. And this whole ordeal stemmed from Lin Xuan.
No, not because of Lin Xuan—it was because this woman stole Lin Xuan away…
At this moment, Luo Yuan was panicking as well, his face pale as a sheet.
If Su Hua was that woman, then everything he just said wouldn’t stand. Everyone knew the leader of Suzhou Group was decisive and ruthless. What would she do to him?
The principal spoke gravely, “Luo Yuan, I will now answer your question: Why did Qin Ruoyao receive such punishment? According to the Student Handbook, Chapter Three, Article Eleven, it is forbidden to extort large sums of money from others through improper means. A minor offense calls for a written apology, while a major offense results in serious disciplinary action!”
“Both professors and leaders present, including Su Zong, witnessed how Qin Ruoyao relentlessly pestered Lin Xuan for money. Giving her just a written apology was already lenient. Yet, you dared to stir up trouble on the forum and at the opening ceremony!”
“Principal, I’m sorry, I was wrong,” Luo Yuan trembled, lowering his head in acknowledgment.
Li Siyu’s complexion was deathly pale, yet she didn’t blame Qin Ruoyao. She still believed it was the principal and other school authorities protecting Su Hua, twisting the facts.
The principal walked over to Su Hua, respectfully asking, “Su Zong, what do you think should be done with these three?”
Su Hua replied calmly, “Follow the school rules.”
Jiang Qing wasn’t surprised by Su Hua’s response. These two small fry weren’t worth Su Zong’s attention, though if they slandered Lin Xuan, Su Zong wouldn’t let it slide so easily.
“Yes,” the principal sighed in relief. If Su Zong insisted on severe punishment, it would harm both her reputation and the school’s image.
“So, according to the school rules, harsh penalties shall be imposed! Li Siyu spread rumors online, and Luo Yuan believed them without verification. Both will receive serious reprimands! As for Qin Ruoyao, her punishment will be adjusted accordingly—she’ll also receive a serious reprimand! All three punishments are irrevocable!”
“Whoosh!” Their faces turned ghastly white.
This disciplinary record would stay in their files forever, becoming a lifelong stain.
Qin Ruoyao tried to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat but ended up losing everything.
After the lecture ended,
Lin Xuan returned to the small villa to pack his belongings. Su Hua rested her chin on her hand, gazing at him intently.
Ah Xuan, no matter how many times I look at you, it’s never enough.
“Xuanzi,” Wang Dahé called Lin Xuan, “Where are you? There’s a problem in the computer science book you gave me that I don’t understand, I want to ask you about it.”
“I’ll send you my location, come over,” Lin Xuan said.
“Alright.”
The principal frowned, “Is there something you need, young man?”
Everyone’s gaze fell on Luo Yuan.
Su Hua stared at him, her eyes cold and devoid of emotion.
Luo Yuan cowered, once again hesitating to back down.
Damn it, why didn’t Qin Ruoyao remind him not to report?
Su Hua was the school director! Reporting her and the principal was akin to suicide!
Kneading her fists tightly, Qin Ruoyao shook her head, signaling him not to continue.
Luo Yuan realized Qin Ruoyao didn’t want him to speak further. He felt deeply moved—Yao Yao must be considering his safety. Since Yao Yao cared for him so much, how could he betray her trust?
“Su Zong, I wish to report someone!” Luo Yuan shouted boldly.
Qin Ruoyao froze, then began trembling with rage.
You idiot, Luo Yuan! Didn’t I tell you not to say anything?
Su Hua narrowed her eyes, “Speak!”
Luo Yuan wiped a bead of sweat. How intimidating was Su Zong’s aura?
“Su Zong, the person I wish to report is…” His voice grew weaker, “…the principal and his mistress.”
The principal was utterly baffled.
Mistress? What mistress?
Young man, food can be eaten carelessly, but words shouldn’t be spoken recklessly. If this reached his wife’s ears, he’d be skinned alive and banished to the couch!
The principal decided not to speak, lest he appear guilty.
“Su Zong, this morning, the woman beside the principal, jealous of Yao Yao’s beauty, made the principal punish her, forcing her to write a confession and read it aloud in front of the entire school!” Luo Yuan’s voice grew louder as he continued.
Principal: “…”
Was Su Zong his… mistress?
What the hell!
He didn’t have the guts or ability to make Su Zong his mistress!
Where did this kid hear such nonsense?
“Principal!” The assistant rushed over with a phone, showing the principal the content.
After reading it, the principal’s expression darkened instantly.
“Who posted this?”
The assistant replied, “It’s Li Siyu from the third-year Computer Science Class Three. She’s friends with Qin Ruoyao.”
Li Siyu always used her real identity on the forum, so there was no need to investigate further.
“Alright, I understand,” the principal said gravely.
Lin Xuan already wore an amused expression, ready to watch the show unfold.
Daring to provoke Su Hua, Luo Yuan sure had some guts.
Lin Xuan somewhat pitied Luo Yuan. Back in the day, he too had fawned over Qin Ruoyao, only to be completely exploited by her.
“Su Zong!” Luo Yuan raised his voice, indignant, “As the principal of Shangqing University, having a mistress is immoral! They say education shapes character, but the principal punished a student for a mistress—this is dereliction of duty! Such a person, Su Zong, you must severely punish!”
“Oh?” Su Hua chuckled lightly, “So, how do you suggest we punish the principal and the so-called mistress?”
Luo Yuan: “Dismiss the principal, and let the principal and the mistress publicly apologize to Yao Yao together!”
“If Su Zong ignores this today, I have reason to suspect you’re covering up for the principal. Shangqing University is a prestigious institution; if this gets out, it will certainly tarnish the school’s reputation. I believe Su Zong wouldn’t want to harm the school…”
