Chapter 875: Villainess
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chen Lian refused to admit her mistake, so they naturally felt uncomfortable. This meant that they would be punished when they submitted the mission.
Were they on good terms with Chen Lian? No, so why should they be punished for Chen Lian?
Moreover, the Senior Brothers and Sisters who had a good relationship would help each other and share their insights. However, this was only limited to those who had a good relationship in private. Otherwise, why should they help each other?
Jiangzhou pursed his lips and said, “Teacher, later on, because Junior Sister cnen Llan rerusea to aamlt ner nustaKe, tne tnree 01 us were pumsnea. we were the ones who completed the mission that Junior Sister Chen Lian didn’t complete. We were also the ones who replenished the damaged vegetable seedlings. Later on, we were punished to carry water for a day.”
The three of them felt aggrieved, but they did not settle the score with Chen Lian. None of them expected this matter to be dug up after a few months. If they did not explain it well, they would be punished. The three of them were only about twelve or thirteen years old. They felt extremely aggrieved.
After coming here, their past identities could not become any qualifications. Besides, they had not done anything to bully her.
“Teacher Su, we can prove that everyone was doing this mission, it was not just Jiangzhou and the others.”
Those who came with Jiangzhou and the others all testified.
Su Xiaolu looked at Chen Lian and asked coldly, “Chen Lian, is that what happened?”
Chen Lian sniffed and looked up at Su Xiaolu with tears in her eyes.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but she couldn’t.
Chen Lian cried.
Mu Feng immediately went forward and protected Chen Lian. “Don’t lie.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Chen Lian sternly and said again, “Chen Lian, you’re not mute. Why aren’t you saying anything now? Did you do what they said? If you don’t say anything, I’ll blame you.”
Su Xiaolu’s sternness frightened Chen Lian so much that her face turned pale. She knelt down with a plop and apologized in a choked voice. “Teacher, don’t be angry. It’s all Chen Lian’s fault. Chen Lian admits her mistake. Teacher, please don’t be angry anymore. Chen Lian is willing to be punished.”
Chen Lian had admitted her mistake. Jiangzhou and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
However, when they saw Chen Lian crying like this again, they felt uncomfortable.
Chen Lian was clearly in the wrong, but she looked like she had suffered a huge grievance. It was indescribable.
Su Xiaolu looked at Chen Lian coldly and said, “If you admit your mistake, tell the person who was in charge of you yourself and explain the matter clearly.
When the time comes, they will punish you accordingly. You let Jiangzhou, Qin
Yu, and Wu Huaijing suffer on your behalf. Logically speaking, you should apologue to cnem.’
Punish Chen Lian? Su Xiaolu had never thought of it. She did not want to waste time on Chen Lian. In her opinion, Chen Lian would not be able to pass the assessment in a year.
Therefore, no matter how much she pretended to be weak, it was only for this year.
Chen Lian cried and nodded. As she wiped her tears aggrievedly, she looked weakly at Jiangzhou and the other two.
She seemed to be very afraid and walked slowly towards them. Because she was too afraid, tears flowed out again.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. Please forgive me and don’t be angry.”
Chen Lian spoke weakly and looked at the three of them timidly. Then, she lowered her eyes weakly.
Jiangzhou and the other two frowned. It was really uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable to forgive her, and uncomfortable not to.
Qin Yu spoke first. “If you’re sincere about apologizing, then I accept it. You can explain to Senior Brother manager yourself.”
Jiangzhou and Wu Huaijing also said something similar.
They had already decided to stay away from someone like Chen Lian in the future.
Su Xiaolu looked at Jiangzhou and the other two and said, “I’ll inform the warehouse about this and compensate the three of you. If there’s nothing else, you can all go back.”
Jiangzhou and the others nodded and said respectfully in unison, “I’ll take my leave.”
With that, they turned around and left.
Su Xiaolu looked at Chen Lian coldly and said calmly, “There’s nothing else for you to do here. Go off and do what you have to do.”
Chen Lian bit her lower lip and slowly turned to leave.
Only then did Su Xiaolu look at Mu Feng and say, “Mu Feng, do you know your mistake?”
Mu Feng had come to a conclusion without even figuring out what had happened. Fortunately, it was just a small matter. If it was a big matter, others would be wronged.
Mu Feng looked very awkward. He felt that Su Xiaolu was too aggressive. She
was not a gentle and good teacher. She did not give him a way out at all. He felt his face burning. He was wrong, but he did not want to admit it.
If it were the gentle teacher, he would definitely considerately let the matter pass, but he saw that Su Xiaolu did not have that intention at all.
Mu Feng gritted his teeth and lowered his head. He said in a low voice, “I know my mistake. Teacher, please punish me.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Mu Feng. She was about to speak when she was suddenly interrupted.
For some reason, Chen Lian returned and pounced at her feet. She hugged her leg and cried as she begged, “Teacher Su, it’s all my fault. Please don’t punish Brother Mu Feng. I beg you. Brother Mu Feng really likes to learn sword techniques and medical techniques from Teacher. If you have to punish someone, punish me. I’m willing to bear it for Brother Mu Feng.”
Su Xiaolu was speechless.
The others were also shocked.
Wang Mingyue and Fang Lan took a few steps back.
Why did Chen Lian do this? It was not a big deal, but Chen Lian was crying like Su Xiaolu was going to kill Mu Feng.
Jiang Wanlin gritted her teeth and went forward to pull Chen Lian away. She gritted her teeth and said, “Chen Lian, this matter has nothing to do with you anymore. Please leave.”
The teacher clearly didn’t do anything and Chen Lian made it seem like she had done something. Perhaps Teacher wasn’t that angry to begin with, but after Chen Lian’s actions, she would be angry and punish Mu Feng severely.
Jiang Wanlin wanted to warn Chen Lian to leave quickly.
However, Chen Lian clearly didn’t understand. She turned to Jiang Wanlin and cried, “Sister Jiang, quickly help Brother Mu Feng plead for leniency…”
Chen Lian’s words roasted Jiang Wanlin over the fire.
Jiang Wanlin was only stunned for two seconds before Mu Feng said coldly,
“Lian’er, you don’t have to beg her. Go back first. Don’t worry about me. If Teacher wants to punish me, I’ll accept it no matter what.”
Mu Feng gave Chen Lian a reassuring look.
Chen Lian looked at Mu Feng in a daze. Under Mu Feng’s comforting gaze, she forced a smile and left.
Su Xiaolu did not speak until she was out of sight.
She realized that Chen Lian was dramatic, and especially melodramatic. She was very weak, and everyone was treating her forcefully. She felt aggrieved.
Su Xiaolu looked at Jiang Wanlin again. She suddenly had an epiphany. If she compared Mu Feng and Chen Lian to the male and female leads, wouldn’t Jiang Wanlin be a villainess?
Thinking about it this way, everything seemed to make sense at once.
Mu Feng was very cold to Jiang Wanlin. After Chen Lian left, he only glanced at Jiang Wanlin coldly and said to Su Xiaolu with a fearless attitude, “Teacher, please punish me. No matter how you punish me, I will accept it..”
