Chapter 599: Chapter 598: None of My Business
After lunch, Bai Xue went to practice the piano as usual. Not long after she parted with Zhen Yu in front of the teaching building, Lu Huai sprang out from behind Zhen Yu!
"Zhen Yu! I’ve got urgent news for you!"
Zhen Yu first glanced in the direction of the piano room, then stopped and asked indifferently, "What is it?"
"That! That, um, it’s about Bai Xue!" After hesitating for a while, Lu Huai finally blurted it out.
Zhen Yu’s tone was calm and natural, "What happened to her? She seems to be fine!"
"Didn’t she tell you?! Did she?! Somebody is pursuing her!" Lu Huai suddenly blurted out the gossip with an air of urgency.
"Oh?" This was both unexpected and not surprising news.
Although Zhen Yu was a bit surprised, she wasn’t too affected. She still sounded indifferent, "And then?"
"And then what?! I’m saying someone is chasing after her! Don’t you understand? Someone is pursuing her!!"
Lu Huai was turning circles on the spot like an ant on a hot pan, his tone increasingly agitated.
"I understand!" Zhen Yu once again thought Lu Huai was brainless! If someone was pursuing Bai Xue, why come to her about it?
What does this personal romance matter have to do with her?!
"I have other things to do! If that’s all, I’m leaving."
After saying that, Zhen Yu lifted her foot and left, really briskly and without hesitation!
Lu Huai was stunned by her reaction, and after coming to his senses, he immediately yelled at Zhen Yu’s retreating figure: "Hey! Aren’t you going to do something about her?!"
Zhen Yu paused, and out of courtesy, she still gave an explanation.
"She has her own mother! It’s none of my business!"
---
When Zhen Yu arrived at the sports field, Han Mingyue was already waiting beneath the rostrum, so she hurried over to explain.
"I got held up by Lu Huai just now."
"...What was so urgent that he needed to find you?"
Lu Huai’s behavior was too obvious, even Han Mingyue noticed something was off, hence the question.
Yet Zhen Yu responded nonchalantly: "It’s irrelevant to me."
Han Mingyue: "???"
"Someone is chasing after Bai Xue, and he’s in a panic!"
Instantly, Han Mingyue felt speechless!
She had thought that Lu Huai must have some hugely urgent matter that required Zhen Yu’s help! But after all the commotion at the door of class two, it turned out to be because of this...
Without letting Han Mingyue ponder too much, Zhen Yu had already started asking about the serious matter.
"It’s easy to expose Zhang Lei’s issue, but would you leave any trace behind?"
"I won’t! The paper only has one sentence on it, and it’s not handwritten!" A glimmer of amusement and concern flashed in Han Mingyue’s eyes, "But what about you! The school leaders will probably call you in for a talk this afternoon!"
"Let them talk then!" Zhen Yu said indifferently: "After all, I didn’t write that report. If someone can actually forge my handwriting perfectly, then I’ll admit she’s impressive!"
"That’s true!" Han Mingyue nodded in agreement. Zhen Yu’s handwriting wasn’t something just anyone could mimic!
Moreover—
"The water has already been muddied by me, so you must take the chance to clear your name! Understand?!"
"I got it! I’ve already coordinated our stories with Bai Xue!"
"Xiao Yu!" Han Mingyue suddenly looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated!
After waiting for a while to no avail for him to speak up, Zhen Yu could only encourage him, "If you have something to say, just say it!"
"Then can I really say it?"
"Say it!"
"You should stop being so naively kind-hearted!"
Zhen Yu: "...Okay."
---
Han Mingyue’s guess was spot on.
The prime morning hours were all allocated to the main subjects, and the seventh and eighth periods in the afternoon were naturally scheduled for the less important physical education, art, and music classes. This time slot was long enough and wouldn’t interfere with the students’ studies, making it the most suitable time for holding a talk.
So Zhen Yu was called in... to the director of teaching’s office.
After she knocked and entered, Director Luan didn’t beat around the bush or put on any airs; he directly asked her to close the door tightly!
Then he slid an ordinary-looking kraft paper envelope across the desk to her.
"Take a look! The ’report letter’ ’you’ wrote!" Not only did Director Luan emphasize the word deliberately, but he also tapped forcefully on the desk twice while speaking!
"You know well who you’ve offended! Tell me about you girls! Day after day, you’re never out of troubles! And this Zhang Lei, sigh!"
Zhen Yu didn’t utter a word as she took the envelope and pulled out the letter to read.
Unfortunately! Apart from confirming that it wasn’t her handwriting, she couldn’t figure out anything else! After all, she was unfamiliar with the handwriting of others in her class, including the girls in her dormitory!
But none of that mattered!
What was important was that even though Director Luan seemed to be on her side, Zhen Yu still needed to defend herself!
After all, you can’t see what’s in someone’s heart. Who knows what Director Luan was really thinking? So, this process was absolutely essential!
"Director Luan! Neither this handwriting nor this letter is mine! The content of the letter is completely fabricated, misleading! It’s invented out of thin air! If we can find out who is framing me, I will definitely sue her for defamation!"
---
"Um... Who wrote the letter is actually not so important, what’s crucial is whether the incidents mentioned in the letter actually occurred! Also, with today’s chaos in your class, do you know anything about it!? After all, with this report letter before the incident, it’s hard not to suspect that it was you who leaked the information!" Director Luan’s tone carried concern, and it sounded as if he was looking out for Zhen Yu’s best interests when he said these words!
But as the saying goes, if you’re playing a character, play it fully! Zhen Yu certainly wouldn’t reveal her true self halfway through the act!
So she immediately put on an innocent face and said, "Director Luan! I really have nothing to do with it! I’m still not clear about what exactly is going on! Since the beginning of the term until last week, I have been practicing piano with Bai Xue from class ten in the music room every day at noon. I never went to the classroom mentioned in the letter at all!"
"Really?!"
In Director Luan’s small eyes flickered a deep doubt.
"Of course it’s true!" Zhen Yu’s tone was so emphatic and convincing.
"Well, then! You’d better hurry back to your class now! Your classmates from class one are about to come over!"
"!"
Zhen Yu was startled at this news! If she ran into Hu Xi and Li Mengting at this time, it definitely would not be anything good!
There are some people, even though they can’t do much to you, they can drag you down, making you look just as ’bad’ as they are!
So the best course of action was to make a quick escape!
With this thought in mind, Zhen Yu immediately bowed and said, "Goodbye, Director Luan!" and then dashed away!
Even the route back to her classroom was a different one...
