Wang Xi, who was being mentioned, had already been frightened by the scene. His voice was clearly filled with tears. "You just asked me if the van was here to pick up Ye Ke. I had no idea you would make up such a rumor!"

Ye Ke's eyes were slightly red as he looked at Ling Qiao with grievance. "That car belongs to my brother's company. He's working on a construction site nearby, so he borrowed it to give me a ride. I usually go out because I feel he's working too hard, so I bring him some food. Everyone at my family and the construction site knows about it, so feel free to ask!"

What an innocent, pitiful and filial little white flower. Ye Ke felt that her lessons during this period were not in vain, as she used the Spring and Autumn style of writing very clearly.

The matter is now very clear, not to mention the expressions of the two people are also very obvious.

One feels wronged but justified, the other is angry but nervous and guilty.

Ling Qiao frowned and looked at Zhang Mengyao, "Your situation is very bad..."

Zhang Mengyao interrupted her hastily, "Teacher Ling, I was wrong. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions without understanding the truth of the matter. I'm very sorry."

Ling Qiao shook her head. "You shouldn't apologize to me!"

Zhang Mengyao had no choice but to turn around, but before she could say anything, Ye Ke interrupted her, "Why are you spreading rumors about me? I haven't done anything to you, have I?"

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."
