Chapter 53

The relationship between Jiang Xiuran and Jiang Tingzhou was at odds, and the news first came from Jiang Xiuran’s class. Not many people knew about it, except for the people in the colony. The people from the colony have no reason to spread rumours.

The person who could do that was Jiang Xiuran, who was only a few months younger than Jiang Tingzhou. But Su Meng couldn’t be 100% sure. She had a headache, but Jiang Tingzhou was the most important at that moment. He was impulsive. If he knew that someone had deliberately attacked him, she didn’t know what he would do. She decided to see him first.

After her chat with Li Youqing, she ran to class 37. She was glad that Jiang Tingzhou and Jiang Xiuran weren’t in the same class. When Su Meng arrived at class 37, the class bell rang. She looked around in the classroom, and unexpectedly, she couldn’t find him in there. The uneasiness in her heart slowly magnified uncontrollably. A girl happened to come back from the toilet. When she was about to enter the classroom, Su Meng grabbed the girl’s sleeve and said, “Hello, do you know where Jiang Tingzhou is?”

The girl said, “You are looking for Jiang Tingzhou? Why are you looking for him?”

“I have something to do with him.”

“He went to the office.”

“Office?”

“Yes, the class teacher called him to find out about the situation.”

Su Meng thanked the girl and hurried to the office. When she walked to the door of the class teacher’s office, the door happened to be open a bit. There were voices coming from inside from time to time.

“Jiang Tingzhou, I called you to understand the situation. I hope you can cooperate.”

Jiang Tingzhou curled his lips casually, “If you call Jiang Xiuran over now, I will naturally cooperate.”

The class teacher tried his best to be patient, “He is now in class. Jiang Xiuran needs to attend the class first.”

Jiang Tingzhou looked at him with a smile, “Teacher, I also need to go to class.”

At that time, an unusually young female voice said excitedly, “Jiang Xiuran gets scholarships every year, and you are a dropout who got tattoos. How can you compare with him?”

Jiang Tingzhou sighed, “How much benefit Jiang Xiuran is to you? Why are you speaking for him?”

“Okay, both of you, stop.”

When Su Meng walked into the office, she saw that in addition to Jiang Tingzhou, there were two teachers, and a girl who looked about her age.

“It should be that girl who spoke for Jiang Xiuran just now.” She said to herself.

One of the teachers asked her when they saw her come in, “Hey, student, who are you looking for?”

Su Meng pursed her lips, “I’m looking for Jiang Tingzhou.”

Jiang Tingzhou who had his hands in his pockets and looked lazily at his toes turned around when he heard that familiar voice.

“Su Meng, why are you here?!”

Su Meng didn’t answer. She took a few steps forward and said to the two teachers, “Teacher, I’m here to explain the situation.”

The teacher on the right said, “Explain what happened?”

“The recent news about Jiang Tingzhou circulating in the school is not true.”

Su Meng explained what happened that day in a few words, and finally concluded, “This is how it happened. If you don’t believe it, you can go see the security footage of the Moon Bay Hotel that day, and you can also ask the police. Jiang Tingzhou beating the man was just a reaction. Although it was not right, the school should correctly promote his heroic act of standing up after seeing the injustice, instead of allowing such false news to spread throughout the campus.”

After Su Meng finished, her heart beat violently because of tension and excitement. The two teachers glanced at each other. Before they could speak, the other girl said, “You and Jiang Tingzhou are in the same group, so you are helping him. But I don’t believe it at all. How can someone come after you and want to raise you when you look like this? Was that person blind?”

Jiang Tingzhou’s attitude was somewhat indifferent from the start, but when he heard those words, his expression changed, and his eyes dangerously called her name, “Li Ting!”

Li Ting scratched her neck in fear and said in a meek voice, “What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong? Isn’t she ugly? Why else would she wear a mask on her face?”

The two teachers had a headache. Jiang Tingzhou and Li Ting, couldn’t be managed by those two young teachers. Originally, they didn’t want to care about that matter at all, but one of them was the class teacher of the rumoured subject, and the other was the class teacher of the girl who first started the rumours. So even if they wanted to ignore it, they couldn’t do it.

The two teachers were silent. Su Meng thought they had the same thoughts as the girl named Li Ting. She hesitated, then made up her mind and raised her hand to take off the mask.
