Chapter 157: Liu Cheng Must Save Herself
Jiang Xue answered meekly as if Zhao Yuan had coerced her. "I was just telling the truth," she said, her words barely more than a murmur.
"You!" Zhao Yuan was so angry her whole body shook. If she had recorded the conversation back then, Shen Xi would not be in such a vulnerable position now.
Zhao Yuan turned to the students who had spoken up. Not one had been around when Shen Xi fought Liu Cheng, yet they each spoke as if they had witnessed everything.
It grated on Zhao Yuan’s nerves. "Xixi, wait for me. I’ll try and clear your name," she said to Shen Xi.
As soon as she gave her word, Zhao Yuan bolted out the door.
Li Xie snorted coldly. "Principal Li, shouldn’t the truth be clear now? It’s utter nonsense that Liu Cheng would badmouth her classmate. Shen Xi is probably jealous of my daughter and our family’s wealth."
"Why else would she stir up trouble except to smear my daughter’s good name?" Li Xie asked rhetorically, "She is the sort to do as she likes, even if it means it hurts her peers. Students like her need to be taught with a firm hand. Should the school not respond satisfactorily, I will file a complaint with the police for slander!"
Shen Xi was no stranger to Liu Xie; he had met her before while she was a part of the Jiang family. He did not expect her to become so arrogant upon returning to her true parents.
