Chapter 539: I’d Prefer They Fear Me Than Look for Trouble
Their temples throbbed involuntarily. Her idea of fun was frightening. Stirring up such a commotion and just casually brushing it off. There was no one like her.
Tang Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously, now somewhat regretting having placed Wen Xin in his physics department and fearing it might have been a huge mistake.
Su’s mother looked at her husband being arrested and then at Su Shan, whose mouth was swollen and her teeth bleeding. She exploded in outrage.
“So, you all know each other, conspiring together. Bullying my daughter is one thing, but trying to frame my husband as well? We are law-abiding citizens; we can’t be bullied like this. I’m going to the higher authorities to complain about you!”
“Enough, stop making a scene. Let your daughter properly apologize to Miss Wen; don’t escalate the situation any further!” Su Yuntian, supported by two people, suddenly spoke up, his cold voice silencing Su’s mother instantly.
Su Yuntian had clearly grasped the situation; Su Shan had truly provoked someone she shouldn’t have. With the presence of the capital Crown Prince, the Su family probably had no chance of turning things around.
The once vibrant Su Yuntian now looked utterly dejected, letting the staff lead him away.
“Dad, what’s going on? I’m the one who was bullied; I’m the one who was hit. Look at my mouth; she hit me!”
Su Shan hadn’t expected this outcome at all. She had secretly messaged her mother, telling her that she was beaten up at school and was now at the police station.
She thought her family’s influence was enough to make Wen Xin, a mere country bumpkin, go to jail, but what’s happening now? Her father was taken away, and he even warned her mother to keep quiet and apologize!
This… this wasn’t part of her plan at all. How did it turn out this way…
Chen Lingxiao had been following behind Mu Chengxi, and now that the drama had ended, it was his turn to step up. He approached the Su family with his briefcase, speaking sternly to the police.
“I am Miss Wen Xin’s attorney. Su Shan is suspected of using valuable items to falsely accuse my client and then insult her.”
“My client demands to sue Su Shan according to the relevant laws.”
As Chen Lingxiao finished speaking, Su Shan, unable to believe it, pointed to her swollen mouth and teeth, her voice muffled.
“But I’m the real victim here! My mouth, my teeth…”
“My client acknowledges Su Shan’s accusations, but she initiated the insults; my client merely retaliated out of necessity. You can pursue legal action, but I will defend my client’s innocence.”
Wen Xin, tired of listening to these matters now that Chen Lingxiao was handling them, turned her head towards the man wearing the badge of the city police chief and politely asked.
“Excuse me, do I need to provide a statement or anything? If not, I’d like to go back. I’m hungry.”
Wen Xin hadn’t eaten much for lunch and had skipped dinner, now feeling quite uncomfortable with an empty stomach.
Seeing Wen Xin addressing him directly, the chief immediately looked toward a police officer, inquiring, “How should we proceed with Miss Wen’s case?”
“Miss Wen only needs to leave a video as evidence. The rest can be handled by her attorney.”
The officer, being prudent and seeing the chief involved, was respectful in sending Wen Xin on her way.
Wen Xin took out her phone, sent the video evidence to Chen Lingxiao, and then lazily said to the officer, “I’ve sent what you need to Attorney Chen. Handle whatever needs handling. If I need to go through any legal procedures, I’ll cooperate fully.”
After speaking, Wen Xin turned to Dean Tang, “Dean, want to go for dinner together?”
“No need, I’ve already eaten. I’ll wait here a bit longer to see how things turn out. You go back with Young Master Mu. If you’re not returning to the dorm tonight, should I call the dorm office?”
Tang Ming was now somewhat fearful of Wen Xin. The young lady had stirred up big trouble on her first instance, and he was uncertain what she might do next. She was giving him a headache.
Seeing Tang Ming’s expression, Wen Xin guessed what he was thinking and smiled lightly at him, “No need, I’ll head back to the dorm soon. I can’t have everyone thinking I was hauled off to the police station, can I?”
Though Wen Xin didn’t care much about others’ opinions, being new at the University, she still wanted to leave a good impression on her classmates.
After talking with the city police chief, Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand and walked her to his Maybach, opening the passenger door for her.
Wen Xin bent to get into the car, and after Mu Chengxi closed the door, he moved to the driver’s side and got in.
Those familiar with Mu Chengxi watched this scene closely. For Mu Chengxi, known as the Prince of the Mu family and head of the family, to show such deference to a woman was truly astonishing.
It was evident how important this woman was in Mu Chengxi’s heart.
Sitting in the car, Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin. She fastened her seatbelt and rested her chin on her hand, her arm lazily placed over her knee, legs crossed in the passenger seat. He raised an eyebrow.
“What? Seems like you’re not entirely pleased with how I handled your situation?”
“Not really, just surprised at how quick you were,” Wen Xin blinked at Mu Chengxi and playfully smiled.
“I noticed her hostility as soon as I arrived at the dorm. I casually placed a camera on the desk, never expecting to wake up to such chaos, but luckily, I was prepared.”
“I don’t seek out trouble, just don’t know why it keeps finding me.”
Wen Xin spoke with a helpless expression, just wanting to attend school without being targeted. She was feeling quite exasperated.
Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin’s face, smiled affectionately, and gently tousled her hair, “If you’re unhappy living at school, come home. Don’t make things hard on yourself.”
“Now’s not the time to go home. The other two in my dorm are quite nice. But after this, they might be a bit afraid of me, though that’s better than engaging in endless scheming.”
Wen Xin narrowed her eyes as she said that. She felt that things weren’t that simple—even if Su Shan hated her, she would not have thought of such a way to frame her in such a short time…
