Chapter 115 - Distressed For Her

Inside the Principal office, Mo Roulan saw Shen Youlin being dragged out by the security guard. She was afraid that Shen Youlin would do something disastrous carelessly if she didn't do anything.

But what could she do?

Vice Principal Cong entered the office after helping Professor Dong lie down on the bed in the room that was inside the office itself and called the doctor who would always be present in the college for students.

Seeing Mo Roulan, he sighed heavily while Mo Roulan looked at him and said hurriedly.

"Sir, I really didn't cheat. I don't know from where those papers came from my table drawer. I have checked my table carefully only then I had sat down on it."

Vice Principal Cong sat on the chair that was placed a bit far away from the Principal's chair and said

"Student Roulan, I don't expect you to do such a thing but since Professor Dong had found it in front of so many students, I can't do anything. And the student sitting behind you is claiming that she had seen you using those papers to answer the question secretly.."

Mo Roulan's eyes were cold and sharp when she remembered the girl who was sitting behind her. She had never seen that girl before so she was really confused as to why the girl was slandering him without any reason.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Professor Dong continuing. 

"Also you don't know but Professor Dong had something against the students who are studying under the scholarship so he will not let this matter go no matter how much I try."

"Student Roulan, I have an idea. Since everything is against you then why don't you just accept it? I will secretly talk to Principal Lin and tell him not to punish you severely. I assure you that you will not be punished unreasonably."

Mo Roulan had a rare expression of incredulous on her face.

How could she not know what Vice Principal Cong was trying to do? He just wanted to end the matter regardless of whether justice was being done or not.

A moment later, she couldn't help but take a step forward.  Her eyes were sharp as she asked in a somewhat raised tone

"Sir, so you're saying that Professor Dong dislikes me just because I am studying on the scholarship? Also, I should just accept something I haven't done and end this matter here? Isn't all this unreasonable enough that you're assuring me that I'll not be punished unreasonably? "

As soon as her words finished, the door was pushed open by someone. The slight and continuous sound of the door being opened made both the person inside the room look towards the door.

For a moment, Mo Roulan thought that Professor Dong because she remembered how he had been insisting to stay despite the pain in his stomach thinking that Vice Principle Cong will let her go. So her face was still very cold and sharp.

However, when she saw the person who had just stepped inside the room, her face was instantly blank.

He Jian who had just stepped inside the office followed by Chu Feng who had been waiting outside the college gates for him caught her cold and sharp eyes.

In a moment, the displeasure accumulated because of that day, when she had told him to stay out of her life, was swept away.

Distress flashed in his cold blue eyes as he stepped forward to stand in front of her and asked

'Did anyone say anything to you to make you so upset?'

He wanted to ask this question but couldn't when he saw how she turned her eyes away from him as if he was a stranger.

A frown marred his forehead as his blue eyes were filled with confusion thinking of the reasons for her detachment.

The atmosphere was awkward for a few moments. 

"Young Master He"

Vice Principal Cong called out awkwardly to break the already awkward atmosphere.

He Jian's eyes were cold and emotionless when he turned to look at the standing Vice-Principal Cong. 

Vice Principal Cong gulped when he saw them and unconsciously lowered his gaze.

"What happened here?"

He asked coldly.

'Nothing that concerns you.'

Mo Roulan wanted to say but Vice Principal Cong seemed to be waiting for this question and hurriedly said

"Young Master He, the thing is that Student Roulan had a test paper today and the teacher on duty had found her cheating during the test paper."

Mo Roulan frowned hearing Vice Principal Cong's explanation and said

"He didn't find me cheating. I was attempting the questions when he suddenly came to stand on my head and asked me to open the drawer of my table."

Hearing her soft voice, He Jian moved his eyes back to her.

His eyes flickered when he saw her scrunched nose because of displeasure as she defended herself. A moment later, he moved his eyes back to Vice Principal Cong who also seemed to be ready to say something but He Jian didn't let him say and asked coldly.

"When she is saying that she has not cheated then why are you forcing her to accept it?"

Vice Principal Cong's face paled in an instant. He Jian's words only meant that he had heard whatever was said just before he entered the room.

"This…Young Master He…."

Vice Principal Cong stuttered for a long time but couldn't speak clearly. He only heard He Jian's next words.

"Since she has not cheated, let her go."

This time Vice-Principal Cong had an incredulous expression on his face. He laughed nervously under the icy stare and stuttered out.

"This…doesn't work like that…Young Master He. We can't just…"

But He Jian again interrupted the middle-aged teacher and said lazily

"When it can work according to what you had said then why can't it work like this?"

Vice Principal Cong really didn't have any answer to this question because he knew that He Jian was referring to when he had asked Mo Roulan to admit that it was her who had cheated in the test paper.

At this moment, the door opened again and Vice-Principal Cong thanked whoever it was for saving him from the cold glacier.

However, when he saw who it was, his face again became sour and he pressed his temples tiredly.

Professor Dong stepped inside the principal office clutching his stomach. He ignored He Jian and his assistant and pointed his finger at Mo Roulan furiously while shouting 

"Vice Principal Cong, why is this girl still present here? Didn't you see just how her friend hit me in front of you without any fear? Since she has such a friend, how can you still doubt me? Since Principal Lin is not here, you are responsible for taking decisions in his place. Just suspend her from the college."

The door of the office opened again and for the umpteenth time, Vice Principal Cong turned to look towards the door.

His eyes brightened when he saw who it was and he hurriedly stood up from his chair.

"Principal Lin."

Principal Lin wiped his sweaty forehead and set his collar right. He smiled awkwardly when he saw He Jian looking at him coldly.

'Ah…he came here as fast as he could but it seemed that Young Master He still reached before him."

Looking at Professor Dong and thinking over what he had heard just before entering the door, Principal Lin composed his expression and said seriously

"Professor Dong, we can't just suspend a student like this. It is the question of their whole life."

After that, he looked at Vice Principal Cong and said

"Where is the surveillance camera footage of that room?"

Vice Principal Cong sighed and answered Principal Lin's question.

"Sir, Actually the college had closed down until now and all the staff had left so we can't open the surveillance system and check the footage. Why don't we just leave the matter to tomorrow and check everything tomorrow."

As soon as Vice-Principal Cong finished his words, Professor Dong said to Principal Lin.

"What is the need for that? I'm saying that I have seen her cheating. Sir, just suspend her." 

Mo Roulan was breathing heavily in anger when she heard Professor Dong's words while He Jian was now looking at Professor Dong coldly.

Mo Roulan stepped forward and said to Principal Lin coldly.

"Sir, I'll not accept my suspension like this. I didn't do anything wrong to get suspended from college. You have to first show me the surveillance camera footage where I can be seen cheating. Only with such proof, I will accept any punishment you will give to me."

Principal Lin was also looking at Professor Dong with a frown and said seriously.

"Student Roulan, you don't need to worry. If you're not wrong then we will not punish you unreasonably."

Feeling the cold gaze on himself, he continued 

"Call the staff. The surveillance footage will be checked right now."

Principal Lin said to Vice Principal Cong.

Hearing Principal Lin's words, Professor Dong's face paled. He seemed to remember something and he said in a loud voice. 

"Sir, you're calling the whole working staff for such a girl. Don't you believe me? Why will I lie about such a matter? I have seen this girl cheating with my own eyes. Just suspend this girl so that no one will think of doing such a thing in the future."
