Chapter 1239: One Who Had Also Fallen From Grace
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The discipline inspection director looked at Ye Linlang with extreme displeasure.
He remembered this girl.
It wasn’t because this girl was outstanding or bad, it was just because of Jiang Qiran.
In the eyes of the discipline inspection director, Jiang Qi was the pride of the heavens, the pride of all the teachers in Ling Yun High School.
However, such a genius had actually started a puppy love with Ye Linlang!
How old were they?!
Sixteen or seventeen years old was the best time to study. What if love delayed Jiang Qiran’s studies and affected his future?!
Therefore, the discipline inspection director was naturally hostile towards Ye Linlang.
“You’re Ye Linlang, right?! You openly took the lead to cause trouble, and you even splashed water all over your classmates in such an unfriendly manner. Are you here to study or are you trying to stir up trouble?!”
When the students at the side heard the discipline inspection director reprimand Ye Linlang, they were momentarily stunned.
In the past, although the discipline inspection director was fierce, it didn’t seem like he would jump to conclusions so easily?!
Why did it feel like even the discipline inspection director disliked Ye Linlang?
As the saying went, “It’s now or never.” The girls who usually disliked Ye Linlang immediately began to echo the discipline inspection director’s words.
“Teacher, that’s right! Ye Linlang is too lawless. She doesn’t even care about the school rules of our Ling Yun High School, much less you!”
“Usually, I feel that Ye Linlang doesn’t respect her classmates at all. Last time when our class went on an excursion, Ye Linlang even slapped Xia Qianqian!”
Bringing up the past directly covered up the whole story. It was easy for people to misunderstand that Xia Qianqian was slapped by Ye Linlang.
Because of the mention of the Great Beauty Xia, many boys who adored Xia Qianqian began to feel indignant.
“That’s right, she’s simply malicious!”
…
The discipline inspection director naturally knew about Xia Qianqian. Not only was she beautiful, her studies were exceptionally good, and she seemed to have participated in several speech competitions on behalf of Ling Yun High School. She had even gotten a very good ranking!
Who would have thought that Ye Linlang would be so ruthless towards Xia Qianqian!
Initially, he thought that it was wrong for her to date Jiang Qiran, but who would have thought that she would be jealous of other girls who were beautiful and smart!
Such a student was not worthy of staying in Ling Yun High School!
The discipline inspection director stared coldly at Ye Linlang, the disappointment in his eyes was obvious.
“Ye Linlang, did you really slap Xia Qianqian?! Do you know that that is extremely disrespectful to others? Based on your actions today and in the past, I will give you a demerit!”
That’s right, a girl who could splash water all over her classmate didn’t look like an obedient student no matter how one looked at her!
…
Ye Linlang faced the criticism of her teachers and classmates. She stood neither servile nor overbearing. Her figure stood upright, and under the cold and indifferent moonlight, she actually appeared somewhat aloof and proud.
“Teacher, could it be that you don’t differentiate between right and wrong, and directly convict someone?!”
When everyone heard this, they were instantly in an uproar. Usually, in school, almost no one dared to talk back to the discipline inspection director!
They didn’t expect Ye Linlang to actually speak so harshly, to actually dare to directly question the teacher!
The discipline inspection director was instantly stunned.
He frowned, his expression carrying a deep displeasure.
“Ye Linlang, what do you mean by this? Don’t tell me you still think that with so many classmates watching over, I’m wronging you?!”
If it was just one or two people accusing Ye Linlang, it would have been fine. But if the whole class thought that there was something wrong with Ye Linlang’s character, wasn’t that enough to prove something?!
…
Ye Linlang’s eyes were like cold stars, exuding a sense of alienation that was beyond the nine heavens.
She quietly inspected the students in the class.
“Teacher, do you know about the excursion last time?! Xia Qianqian and our class’s lifestyle committee member slandered me for stealing more than three thousand yuan in class fees, and also insulted my personality. I slapped her. Maybe I was impulsive, but I don’t regret it.”
“If just because a person is poor, just because a person isn’t generous with their money, you can directly judge them as the thief, Teacher, if such a judgment fell on you, you might be able to calm down with your vast experience, but I can’t stand it.”
The discipline inspection director was stunned when he heard that. Ye Linlang didn’t know that her words had struck the discipline inspection director’s heart.
He was now teaching in a noble school and holding an official position, and his monthly salary was at least 10,000 yuan.
However, the discipline inspection director happened to come from a poor background. When he was studying in university, he was assigned to a dormitory where his roommates were relatively rich.
At that time, it was the late 1990s. A rich roommate had lost about 300 yuan for food. At that time, it was definitely a huge sum of money.
Without even thinking about it, everyone immediately accused him of stealing it. The discipline inspection director still remembered the feeling of being accused by everyone, and no one trusted him.
Although the discipline inspection director was now in his forties, he still held a grudge against what had happened that year.
That day, he was forced by his classmates to strip bare in front of his roommates, and they even ransacked his closet, bed, and other things.
But in the end, they could not find anything.
He put on his clothes one by one in humiliation. He would never forget the heat on his face at that time, as well as the feeling of extreme humiliation and resentment.
In the end, the three hundred yuan was found by his rich roommates. It turned out that he had thrown it away in a new shirt that he had only worn once. It was in his pocket, and it had turned white from the detergent.
At that time, the rich classmate did not apologize to the discipline inspection director. He only said that he had found it in embarrassment.
At that time, the discipline inspection director’s words were light, and he could not even afford to pay the tuition fees. He was someone who had to rely on poor students’ relief and scholarships to survive. He could not afford to offend his classmates, especially his rich roommates, who simply had a lot of support in the class.
Once he offended them, it was inevitable that the discipline inspection director would not be able to fight for the qualifications during the scholarship selection.
He endured it. Just like that, he endured for four years. It was only until later, with his outstanding results, that he was recommended by the school to be sent abroad as a guarantee, that his days became better.
He no longer had to live by the looks of others.
…
The discipline inspection director looked at the young girl in front of him who had an arrogant and cold face. In a daze, he saw his own shadow from back then. However, compared to him back then, this girl was much more angular.
Perhaps it was because he had the same experience, he could not help but feel some sympathy for Ye Linlang.
The discipline inspection director glanced at the other students in the class with dignity.
“Is what Ye Linlang said true?”
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent. Because of this collective silence, the discipline inspection director already understood the answer.
If it was not true, these people would definitely jump up and protest.
When the discipline inspection director thought of this, his expression towards Ye Linlang immediately softened.
“Ye Linlang, forget about the slap. How are you going to explain that you splashed water on your classmates?!”
