223 223 Confrontation with the principal’s office
In the end, only Li Li accompanied Tan Rou to the infirmary to apply some medicine for the wounds.
Tan Jing had also been scratched. It was not a simple mark, but a bloody wound. From her upper arm to her lower arm, there were three obvious bloody marks. While the wound was being treated, Tan Jing was in so much pain that she didn’t forget to ‘show concern’ for Tan Rou.
“Xiao Rou, are you okay? It’s all my fault for not stopping Li Jia’s mother. Tan Jing deliberately showed his injured arm. “Doctor! Can you be gentler?”
He Ling, who had come with her, quickly said, “Doctor, please be gentle. Jingjing is afraid of pain.”
Zhao Ru was blaming Tan Rou for it, “Tan Rou, Jingjing was injured because of you. Why don’t you say sorry?”
The doctor cast an unfriendly look at Tan Rou. She felt that this child was a little cold. Her classmate was injured because of her, but she didn’t say a word.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Li Li was furious. “I saw it clearly. It was Tan Jing who wanted to push Li Jia’s mother and grab Tan Rou. All Tan Rou did was just dodged the attack and Tan Jing ended up getting caught. Who can you blame?”
“You …” He Ling still wanted to say more, but Tan Jing stopped her.
“Stop it, lingling. It’s my fault for being too weak,” Tan Jing said sadly.
“You’re really good at pretending to be a white Lotus,” Li Li mumbled.
Tan Rou went back to the classroom with Li Li after she was done disinfecting. Seeing that Tan Rou had left, Tan Jing hurriedly pretended to be a white Lotus to make a good impression, which moved the school doctor to the brink of crying as she had no idea what had happened.
When Tan Jing returned to the classroom, Tan Rou was no longer there. As she learned that Tan Rou had been called to the principal’s office, she immediately rushed over.
When Tan Rou arrived at the principal’s office, Father Tao was already there. His hair was a little messy, and there was sweat on his forehead. He must have rushed here in a hurry.
“Dad.” Tan Rou called out.
“My daughter!” Mr. Tao was extremely nervous. He turned Tan Rou around to take a look. When he saw the injury on her arm, his heart ached.
“You’re injured!”
Tan Rou looked at his nervous expression and felt warm in her heart. She shook her head and said, “I was accidentally scratched. I’ve already disinfected it. It’s just a small matter.”
Mr. Tao didn’t think that this was a small matter. His precious daughter had been beaten up by a crazy parent in school. How could he take it?
“The school has to give us an explanation for this!” Mr. Tao’s aura changed.
“First, you accused my daughter of cheating in the exam. Then, one of your students from your school started rumors and slandered my daughter. Now, the mother of the perpetrator came to the school to beat up my daughter, the victim. Do you really think that our family is easy to bully?”
The newly appointed director, Director Zhang, was so anxious that he was sweating. Of all times, all these had to happen when the principal was not around. He was just newly appointed and did not know anything!
“Don’t worry, our school will definitely give you an explanation.” Director Zhang tried to calm him down.
“I left my daughter here in your care because I trusted your school but how did you take care of her? Time and time again! Is my daughter so disliked by your school?” Father Tao questioned.
Director Zhang’s mind went blank when he heard what he said. He couldn’t be thinking of transferring Tan Rou to another school, right? No, no, Tan Rou was the new top student. She was outstanding in all aspects. They couldn’t lose such an outstanding student.
“We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Please be patient with us.” Director Zhang tried to calm Father Tao.
“What are you waiting for?” Mr. Tao was very angry.
“You’re not anxious about it because she isn’t your daughter? Think about it, if your daughter was maliciously slandered and beaten up for no reason, how would you feel?”
Director Zhang was also a father. If his daughter was beaten up by a rumor, he would grab a stick and go to the other party’s house to seek justice.
“Yes, yes, yes. Our school has been dealing with this matter. In fact, The principal isn’t here because he’s dealing with this. The school has already expelled Li Jia, so we’ll cooperate with the police to punish the criminal and give Tan Rou an explanation.”
Li Jia’s mother heard what he said and her heart sank. The school had completely given up on Li Jia. What was she going to do in the future?
That’s right, Tan Jing! Tan Jing was the young lady of the Tan family. She had a good relationship with Li Jia and was a wealthy young girl. She would definitely be able to help Li Jia. Even if she couldn’t help Li Jia, they could still ask her for more money to ensure her own livelihood.
Mr. Tao wasn’t very satisfied with the outcome, but he could only cooperate with the police step by step. He also needed to ask for his daughter’s opinion.
“Dear, are you happy with the way that they’re dealing with this?” Father Tao asked.
Tan Rou nodded. “I’m sure the school and the police will give me a satisfactory answer.”
