Rebirth in the 90s: Pack up and prepare for demolition

Zhang Mengyao avoided her gaze and said evasively, "I didn't deliberately spread rumors about you. I just said a few words casually. I didn't expect people to spread them like that."

"Ye Ke, I'm sorry. I was so stupid. I didn't think that what I saw with my own eyes could be fake. I didn't even ask you for confirmation... I'm really sorry."

Hey! Still trying to shift the blame in this sarcastic way, right? What if she couldn't hear me? Ye Ke immediately decided that she was going to be unyielding!

"Teacher Ling, I don't need her apology. I just want fair punishment from the school. If you do something wrong, you should pay the price."

Ling Qiao could tell Zhang Mengyao was unrepentant and nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, the school will handle this matter seriously. They'll clarify the cause and process for you and issue a public disciplinary action!"

As a woman, she was well aware of Ye Ke's helplessness in the face of such rumors, and naturally felt disgusted with Zhang Mengyao.

Zhang Mengyao heard that she would still be punished, and she really regretted it. "Teacher Ling, I've already apologized! And Ye Ke also slapped me, she got her revenge! I..."

Ling Qiao interrupted her, "If you're not satisfied with the school's handling of the matter, you can also choose to call the police. Disciplinary action or a criminal record? You choose."

Zhang Mengyao choked, her lips trembling a few times before she burst into tears and shouted, "I really didn't mean it! Teacher Ling! I've already apologized! You...are you trying to force me to death?"

Ling Qiao remained unmoved and looked at her seriously, "It's my job to be responsible for every student. I can't be partial to you just because you cry and make a fuss."

"Similarly, I won't be prejudiced against you just because you cried. You're still young, and I understand that you did something like this because of your immaturity, but people have to accept their punishment when they do something wrong. You're only a freshman now, and there will be plenty of opportunities to have the punishment lifted in the future."

No way, she would be prejudiced.

What she said now was just to calm people down, but she didn't lie. As long as Zhang Mengyao behaved well in the future, the punishment could be lifted.

Ye Ke glanced at Ling Qiao with curiosity. The instructor's scolding was also quite dirty?

Ling Qiao glanced around, taking in everyone present, and spoke in a resounding voice. "As fellow girls, you should know how insulting such rumors are. I'm disappointed. Not only do you lack any sense of camaraderie, you also lack the ability to discern your own differences."

"Today, Ye Ke was the one who had the courage to stand up and confront the enemy. But what if the person who encountered this incident was a timid and sensitive girl? Rumors can kill people!"

Ling Qiao's voice fell lightly, but it struck everyone hard in the heart.

Seeing everyone in deep thought and reflection, Ling Qiao nodded. It was okay, there was still hope. "Disband! You should all think clearly about why you came to school. Studying is your priority."

She walked out the door and said as she passed Ye Ke, "Ye Ke, come with me."

Ye Ke had no choice but to let go of Lin Shuwan and follow her.

The two walked one after the other without saying a word until they arrived at the big tree below the dormitory building. Ling Qiao looked at Ye Ke's rolling eyes and smiled, "Why don't you act anymore? Aren't you afraid that I will criticize you?"

Ling Qiao really thought she was sad at first, until she found that she was not only laughing, but also rubbing her eyes hard.

Ye Ke scratched his head and chuckled, "Teacher Ling, I believe you wouldn't treat a victim like this."

She was indeed distrustful at first, afraid the school would make a big deal out of a small matter. That's why she vented her anger first, at least that way she wouldn't suffer any loss. She hadn't expected Ling Qiao to be so reliable! Now she wasn't afraid of what Ling Qiao might say about her!

Ling Qiao curled her lip when she heard that and hummed softly, "Indeed, I quite admire your bravery."

Ye Ke nodded obediently, I understand!

Ling Qiao immediately put away her smile and criticized her righteously, "You were right to think of asking the teacher to resolve the problem. But hitting someone was wrong."

Ye Ke saluted and said, "I won't be so impulsive next time!"

Next time, hit someone rationally! Only when people are hurt will they learn their lesson!

"That's enough." Ling Qiao patted her shoulder. "You can go back now. The school will notify you of the follow-up results."

After Ye Ke went upstairs, he met a group of girls who were talking. When they saw Ye Ke, they stopped talking in time. Some of them looked apologetically, and some did not dare to look directly at him, but none of them went up to Ye Ke to talk to him.

When passing by Zhang Mengyao's dormitory, the door was open. Ye Ke glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Zhang Mengyao was not in the dormitory. She must have hidden away.

As soon as Wu Min saw Ye Ke, she hurried over and called out to her, "Ye Ke, wait a moment."

Ye Ke stopped and turned to look at her, his expression puzzled: What's going on? It's not over yet, right?

Wu Min's face flushed and she bowed suddenly, scaring Ye Ke so much that he took a step back.

She stuttered, "I'm... sorry." Without waiting for Ye Ke's response, she retreated back to the dormitory with a face full of shame, closing the door behind her.

"Eh?" Ye Ke stretched out his hand in the air and scratched it awkwardly. Why were you running? She wasn't going to forgive him out of kindness, was she? No need to be embarrassed.

Ye Ke returned to the dormitory and pushed the door open. Zhou Zhizhi was the first to notice her and rushed over to her. "How's it going? Counselor, what are you talking about?"

Ye Ke shook his head and explained, "No, the instructor just asked me to go down and comfort her."

When Wang Xi saw her coming back, he quickly stood up and said anxiously, "Ye Ke, I'm sorry, I..."

"Okay, I get it!" Ye Ke interrupted her. Ye Ke was almost tired of hearing everyone apologize one after another.

"I know you didn't mean to spread rumors about me, but the impact on me has already been made. I don't want to say anything against my will. Let's keep our distance from each other from now on!"

Wang Xi is a person who has the desire but not the courage. She always tries to take advantage of others secretly, but if you really give it to her, she dare not accept it.

This time, too, Wang Xi definitely didn't have the guts to make up stories, but so what? Ye Ke didn't believe she didn't sense Zhang Mengyao's malice when she nodded.

Moreover, when rumors were flying around, she didn't come out to clarify! She even hid it from her, hoping for luck, and only admitted it when it was exposed.

Wang Xi lowered his head and said in a dull voice, "Okay, I understand."

The school handled the matter quickly, and the next day Zhou Zhizhi came to tell her that Zhang Mengyao's punishment had been posted on the bulletin board. Ye Ke didn't join in the fun, but continued on her way to the commercial street, where she ran into Wei Qi'an at the construction site.

"Hey, hello, local boss!" Ye Ke greeted him happily.

Wei Qi'an looked puzzled, "How have I offended you?"

Ye Ke smiled and told him about the school. Wei Qi'an looked strange after hearing it, "The girl you are talking about, is she a student? And she has acne on her face?"

Ye Ke recalled Zhang Mengyao's image and asked, "Yeah, you know her?"

She was dumbfounded. What did that mean? You were the cause of trouble?
