Chapter 634: Maintenance
"That was before." Now that they had spoken up, Zhou Siyu didn’t want to have anything to do with Shen Mianmian anymore, "Principal, Shen Mianmian was a child my uncle picked up. She’s his foster daughter. Neither of us knew about this before, and it was just a few days ago that she and my uncle and aunt dissolved their parent-child relationship. I only found out about this today when I went to the No. 3 Middle School."
This was someone else’s family matter, and Principal Wang didn’t want to meddle too much. He changed the subject, "So what is this about you accusing Shen Mianmian of theft that Principal Yang mentioned?"
"My aunt said that when she left, she stole money from the family. I don’t know whether it’s true or not." Zhou Siyu always liked to leave a way out for herself, and now was no exception. She didn’t flat-out accuse Shen Mianmian of stealing money; she just planted a seed of doubt in Principal Wang’s mind.
Principal Wang was very keen on talent, but since Shen Mianmian had already gone to the No. 3 Middle School, naturally, he sided with his own student. So he said, "Principal Yang, we are not the police. It’s not easy to conclude on this matter. However, Teacher Wan and the others made it very clear. They went to No. 3 Middle School only to find someone, not to cause trouble. Could there have been some misunderstanding on your part?"
"Principal Wang, are you trying to protect them?" Principal Yang, a man of integrity, didn’t want to beat around the bush with Principal Wang and directly asked his purpose.
"Principal Yang, I don’t like the way you put it. I’m just asking if there was some misunderstanding. How does that translate to me protecting them?"
Principal Yang snorted, "If they hadn’t gone to our school to falsely accuse my student, why would I bother coming to your school for no reason?"
"But right now, it’s a case of ’he said, she said,’ and neither of you has evidence. How can I know who is telling the truth and who is lying?" Principal Wang said with a look of helplessness.
