Chapter 87: The Truth Revealed

The classmates:

They were actually threatened by Mei Shu alone!

If this were to spread, how would they face others?

However…

Seeing Mei Shu’s imposing manner just now, they felt scared and dared not speak up.

As the grade director passed by their classroom and saw the students gathered together, he frowned and knocked on the door, “What are you doing? You’re in the third year of high school and still don’t know the value of time?”

The students snapped out of their daze and scattered in all directions.

Some students who wanted to defend Mei Mu but didn’t dare to speak up patted her shoulder in consolation before returning to their seats.

With the crowd dispersing, Mei Mu was left exposed.

The grade director spotted her immediately and frowned even more. “Why are you still here? Didn’t I tell you to go call your parents over?”

Looking from the entrance, they could only see Mei Mu’s stiff back, unable to discern her current expression.

One student couldn’t help but speak up for Mei Mu, “Teacher, isn’t it Mei Shu who stole the money? Why did you call Mei Mu’s parents over?”

The grade director looked puzzled. “Who told you that Mei Shu stole the money? The real thief is someone else. Don’t spread rumors.”

The student was taken aback and glanced at Mei Mu’s rigid figure before turning back to the grade director. “Then, why did you call Mei Mu’s parents over? Did Mei Shu slander her?”

“What on earth are you talking about? You students are so busy gossiping that you forget to focus on studying. When did I say that Mei Shu accused Mei Mu of anything?” The grade director left with a strange expression.

Mei Mu had been bowing her head since the grade director appeared, her face pale.

The students who had sought clarification from the grade director were even more confused now. One of them walked over to Mei Mu, pulling her arm. “Mei Mu, the grade director said Mei Shu didn’t accuse you of anything. Then what did you mean by what you said earlier?”

They had clearly heard Mei Mu accusing Mei Shu of framing her, but the grade director said it didn’t happen!

Who was lying now? The truth was clear.

Wen Miao finally found an opportunity for revenge and mockingly said, “Someone did something wrong and the grade director wants to talk to her parents. She felt ashamed and wanted to shift the blame to others to gain sympathy, making you fools think she’s an innocent little white flower!”

The students who had defended Mei Mu just a moment ago felt a stinging sensation, realizing they had been deceived.

One of them was the first to question, “Mei Mu, is what she said true?”

Mei Mu was speechless.

Since she came out of the grade director’s office, she had already decided that Mei Shu must take the blame for her. Otherwise, if her parents were called to the school, her reputation as an excellent student would be ruined.

She couldn’t let her excellent image she had carefully built over the years be destroyed because of Mei Shu.

But she never expected that the grade director would appear in the corridor at this moment, witnessing the scene where they were all ganging up on Mei Shu!

What’s more, that busybody student went to inquire about the truth from the grade director!

What should she do now?

The burning gazes around her made her feel utterly ashamed.

She wished she could find a hole to hide in right away.

“Mei Mu, why aren’t you saying anything? Have you been lying to us since you came back?” The voices of doubt grew louder around her.

Mei Mu trembled all over, and finally, tears of helplessness streamed down her face. “1 didn’t lie to any of you. I truly didn’t do anything, but the director told me to call my parents to the school. 1 didn’t know anything. Mei Shu went to the grade director’s office for so long in the morning before coming back, then the grade director called me to his office. 1 thought maybe Mei Shu had said something to the teacher about me.”

Mei Mu was in tears, and many boys softened their hearts and tried to console her.

However, some perceptive individuals saw through her act.

Even if Mei Mu now spoke pitifully and tried to explain, it couldn’t hide the determined manner she had when she confronted Mei Shu earlier.

She clearly intended to make everyone believe that everything she was going through now was all because of Mei Shu!

Even if she was unintentional, she definitely didn’t treat Mei Shu as affectionately as she portrayed.

Many people distanced themselves from Mei Mu at once, no longer willing to get involved and be used as tools.

But there were still many admirers gathered around Mei Mu. Mei Shu glanced at them coldly and took out an exam paper. “Get out of the way. You’re blocking the light. You don’t want to study but others do.”

“You!” The person wanted to mock Mei Shu, but considering Mei Shu’s recent rapid progress and the current situation where she was being questioned for no reason because of Mei Mu, even if they didn’t like Mei Shu, they couldn’t come up with anything to say now.

Mei Mu hurriedly wiped away her tears and apologized, “Sister, I’m sorry for what happened just now. I misunderstood you.”

“I’m not interested in you. Don’t bother me and disturb my studies again.” Mei Shu didn’t even look at her and began working on the exam paper.

She didn’t spare any mercy in her words, and Mei Mu bit her lips, nodding reluctantly with red eyes. Then, she ran out of the classroom and didn’t return even until the next class started..
