BXBX NOVEL Chapter 173 - 178: You are my woman! (17)
Inside the principal’s office.
The principal cast a displeased glance at Gu Qingxin and Bai Qianqian. However, his expression instantly softened when he looked at Gu Yunci.
“Principal, all of Gu Qingxin’s work was her own effort. I can vouch for this. You can’t give her detention!”
Bai Qianqian urgently said. Detention in school is marked in her record. Everyone can see it when she looks for a job. Who will hire someone ever caught plagiarizing? This could become a lifelong stain!
“Bai, you should just go back and attend your classes. School decisions aren’t yours to interfere with.” The principal looked at Bai Qianqian coldly.
Bai Qianqian frowned at the principal who sat behind his desk. In the past, he had always been kind to her, treating her like family.
Now that her family had just met with misfortune, his attitude had a complete turnabout.
Within just half a month, Bai Qianqian had deeply experienced the fickleness of human feelings.
Gu Qingxin gripped Bai Qianqian’s hand as if trying to lend her strength. Gu Qingxin looked directly at the principal, her eyes showing no fear at all, “Principal, I won’t accept a detention from the school. I haven’t stolen anything.”
“The evidence is in front of you, and you still argue. The school showed mercy by not expelling you! If you continue to cause a fuss, the school won’t be lenient!” The principal forcefully slapped his table, hoping that Gu Qingxin would back down.
“Sister…” As Gu Yunci tried to play the deeply caring sister card in front of the principal, Gu Qingxin coldly cut her off, “Shut up! My mom only ever had me. 1 don’t have a sister like you.”
Gu Yunci turned pale. This impudent girl was becoming more audacious. The principal glared at Gu Qingxin in displeasure, “Your sister is only looking out for you! Look at her manners, then look at yours! It’s like heaven and earth. You all can leave. The decision has been made and announcements have been made. It won’t be changed.”
“If you insist on giving me detention and falsely accusing me of theft, then just expel me!” Gu Qingxin arrogantly raised her chin.
Everyone in the room thought they had misheard. Gu Qingxin was actually asking to be expelled. Bai Qianqian couldn’t help but pull her aside.
Gu Qingxin continued, “But 1 won’t let it slide. I didn’t steal anything. No matter where I go, I’m not afraid. I’ll take this to the Education Bureau! I don’t believe that there’s no justice in Ming City. The President highly regards national education!”
“You dare?” The principal stood up with a slam on the table, indignantly pointing at Gu Qingxin.
This impudent kid was being so audacious as to threaten him!
“If you can accuse me of stealing and give me detention, then I’m not afraid of anything! At worst, it’ll be a lose-lose situation. You’re a famous principal, but I’m just an ordinary person named Gu Qingxin!”
Gu Qingxin was going all out. She absolutely refused to be the scapegoat for this theft accusation!
“You! You!”
“All I want is an opportunity to clear my name! I believe that the principal won’t unjustly accuse his students. If I can’t prove my innocence, I’m willing to be expelled by the school!”
“Fine, this is what you asked for! When you get expelled, don’t cause a fuss!” The principal sat back down with a sweep of his hand, his expression extremely grim.
“Go on, how will you prove yourself?”
“Easy, those initial drafts were drawn by the designer stroke by stroke. If Gu Yunci claims they were her designs, then it shouldn’t be hard for her to draw them again!” Gu Qingxin’s penetrating black eyes were fixed on the woman..
