Chapter 575: Chapter 575: I’m a Modest Person
Oh my god, Gong Ruini was stunned by being in close contact with Zhuge Mingshan. She really didn’t expect that when Cao Na talked about the incident, Zhuge Mingshan would suddenly erupt.
Oh my god, what’s going on here? She knew there was definitely an issue between them, but she didn’t think it would be this terrifying.
No way, clearly they’ve seen each other before, so why is she so agitated? Gong Ruini remembered several times when Zhuge Mingshan and Cao Na brushed past each other without such intense reactions from Zhuge Mingshan.
"I’m just stating facts; I can’t let Ni Zi be wronged."
"And don’t you want to clear your own name?"
"Isn’t it possible you had a hand in blowing this up?"
"Otherwise, how did this spread so quickly?" Cao Na retorted in multiple ways.
Yeah, they previously thought Cao Na’s words and actions were a bit bullying, clearly knowing Zhuge Mingshan’s emotions were off and still pressing on, it was really quite excessive.
But now, after hearing Cao Na’s explanation, they all felt she was right. If Zhuge Mingshan wasn’t guilty of something, would she really need to be so nervous?
Some people looked at it objectively, while those who were close to Zhuge Mingshan naturally thought Cao Na was too harsh.
"Hey, is it okay to pressure Zhuge Mingshan like this?"
"You’re just bullying people too much."
See, no matter where Zhuge Mingshan goes, there will always be someone to defend her, making Cao Na quite disheartened. However, she quickly pulled herself together.
"How is Cao Na bullying anyone? Before, you were saying I was the one spreading those rumors, saying I was malicious, so of course, I have to explain. This doesn’t just affect Sister Mingshan but also involves me."
"You don’t want me to be constantly embroiled in these storms in the future and endlessly explaining to people, right?"
"Since I have to explain, why not do it now?"
Gong Ruini stated that since an explanation was needed, it should be done while it’s hot, "Moreover, Sister Mingshan is so agitated because she feels her reputation is at stake."
"Exactly, so we need to clarify things. We can’t let those spreading rumors succeed," Cao Na understood that Gong Ruini probably realized something but didn’t question and continued to support her.
In short, once this matter is cleared up, Cao Na expressed that she would definitely be able to tell the whole story without any cover-up.
With Cao Na saying so, Zhuge Mingshan’s classmates recognized that her words made sense; this was not just about Gong Ruini but also involved Zhuge Mingshan.
Thus, many people urged Zhuge Mingshan not to be agitated, saying that Gong Ruini was right; since someone has stepped up, it should be resolved sooner.
But how could Zhuge Mingshan agree? Even though this sounded like it was to clear her name, was it really?
Zhuge Mingshan stated that this was all a trap by Gong Ruini and the others. Whether it was Cao Na or Gong Ruini, they would be happy to see her downfall.
No way, she couldn’t just let it be like this. Zhuge Mingshan claimed she truly didn’t care, "Besides, going to each class to explain is really troublesome."
"I have always believed the innocent remain unstained, the tainted remain tainted." Zhuge Mingshan expressed she was a person of tranquility and wouldn’t get worked up over such minor matters.
"We can’t control what others say."
These words were righteous, and Zhuge Mingshan’s fans were all so excited.
These words seemed to make perfect sense, but was Zhuge Mingshan truly such a person? Hmph, she was just worried that some things can be cleared up but others can’t.
"It’s not troublesome; isn’t there a school broadcast system we can use for that?" At a time when one side insisted on explaining class by class and another said it was unnecessary and troublesome, someone stood up.
No way, can we use that? The school broadcast isn’t just for broadcasting eye exercises and meetings or for teachers to make announcements, can it really be used to explain things among elementary school students?
Gong Ruini wanted to say that there really was no need to blow this up, plus whether the teachers would agree is another question.
"No problem, we can do this," Zhuge Ming stepped out. He, too, had received the news and was dumbfounded.
Even though he didn’t know how things got to this point, if it wasn’t resolved properly, would this really just blow over?
Zhuge Ming told him this would definitely escalate and couldn’t just end quietly. Since that was the case, he was naturally in favor of the proposal.
Ah, kids these days are so smart, and to think someone would become an unsung hero just for Gong Ruini, it’s truly touching.
Since the proposal was really made, let’s go ahead and do it.
"Good afternoon, Principal."
"Good afternoon, Principal."
Everyone knew Principal Zhuge had a habit of wandering around, but they didn’t expect him to show up and even agree to the broadcast proposal.
With the biggest obstacle out of the way, Zhuge Mingshan’s fans also started persuading her, which made Zhuge Mingshan furious, wondering which side these people were on.
And what was Uncle up to, leaping out like this, giving no face to the Zhuge Clan? Zhuge Mingshan’s expression wasn’t good, but Zhuge Ming didn’t care.
As someone from a collateral line, Zhuge Ming had enough of the direct line’s wives during his childhood. Otherwise, his name wouldn’t have deviated from the family tree, and now he himself didn’t even know how many supposed direct lines he had surpassed, so why would he care about one of their kid’s expressions?
"Since this has blown up so much, I think we need to provide an explanation. Otherwise, who knows what kind of rumors will spread?"
"That’s not necessary, right?" Zhuge Mingshan was really about to faint, because all the people around her were agreeing, including her followers, which really made her anxious.
"How is it not necessary?" Hmph, if you’re unwilling, then we’ll make sure you do it. You like to push people into the spotlight here, so let’s let you taste the consequences.
If at first, Gong Ruini was a little suspicious that Zhuge Mingshan was up to something, now after seeing Zhuge Mingshan’s smug look, she knew she definitely had a hand in it.
With that being the case, Gong Ruini felt no burden at all, otherwise, she’d feel cheated.
"Sister Mingshan, how can you say no? I’d feel guilty; you shouldn’t bear such blame."
"We should identify those who spread rumors. They can defame Sister Mingshan you now, and they could defame anyone later."
"We need to root out such harmful elements,"
"We can’t let such people drag us down, worrying that a word from us turns into something horribly distorted spread around."
Is this the first time something like this has happened? Impossible, embellishing and spreading rumors is human nature; someone will definitely get hurt.
And since someone gets hurt, they’ll surely be upset, but now we’ve given them such a good opportunity, how can they not step up?
