Chapter 201 - 203: Filial Piety_1
Li Qiao’s lips curled slightly, not needing to ask she also knew the teacher pressured Cheng Shuqin. "Is there something you can’t say in front of the other students?"
Cheng Shuqin pressed her lips tightly, her heart bleeding with hate. Li Qiao must have guessed her intention, yet she wanted to embarrass her in front of the students, how despicable! Yet, she couldn’t retort at the moment: "It’s... some private matters, not good to say directly."
"We are not that close, what private matters do we need to discuss behind the students’ backs?"
With one sentence from Li Qiao, Cheng Shuqin felt more embarrassed: "I... I want to apologize for what I did to you before. I’m sorry!"
Li Qiao played dumb: "What have you done that warrants an apology?"
Xue Sufen figured out the reason, it was probably because Cheng Shuqin hired thugs to block Li Qiao and it got reported to the school, leading to Cheng Shuqin’s punishment.
Ma Hongxiang asked with confusion: "Cheng Shuqin, what did you do? Li Qiao plagiarizing Xue Sufen’s paper, that can’t be related to you, can it?"
The words hit Cheng Shuqin’s ears like she was being directly accused of stealing the paper, and she bristled like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "Stop talking nonsense!"
Ma Hongxiang said honestly: "I’m just guessing, sorry." Why so fierce?
Li Qiao was enlightened, maybe the paper really was stolen by Cheng Shuqin, using it to stir up trouble between her and Xue Sufen.
After all, the two had eased their relationship somewhat because their elders were old acquaintances.
