“Now that the truth is out, it should be clear to all of you that this matter has nothing to do with Wu Duo. He has been wronged,” Li Xue said smugly.
“It’s our mistake. We’re sorry, Wu Duo,” everyone shouted in unison.
Wu Duo immediately waved his hands and said, “It’s alright! It’s alright! This is all a misunderstanding. You have all been bewitched by what ‘someone’ said! It has nothing to do with you.”
He specially emphasized the word “someone”. Xie Jing looked at Wu Duo with a dark expression, while everyone looked at Xie Jing with mixed feelings.
Just as the crowd was about to disperse, Qiao Mei quickly shouted out, “Everyone, please hold on for a moment! I’d like all of you to stay around as witnesses. Since this matter has already been proven to be a misunderstanding, shouldn’t Xie Jing apologize to Wu Duo? Don’t tell me that everything he said can just disappear into the air?”
“Yes! He should apologize!’
“He must apologize to Wu Duo!” everyone shouted in unison.
Xie Jing glared fiercely at Qiao Mei. The image he had maintained for the past few years was completely destroyed at this moment. Everyone’s impression of him had gone from being a nice gentleman to a nasty person who spread rumors and caused trouble. All of this was the work of Qiao Mei.
“You should apologize. Why are you looking at me, Schoolmate Xie? Are the lines of your apology written on my face?” Qiao Mei asked with a smile.
Wu Duo looked at Xie Jing arrogantly. The look in his eyes suggested that he felt Xie Jing was finally getting his comeuppance.
Given the growing angst of the crowd, Xie Jing held back his anger and whispered impatiently to Wu Duo, “I’m sorry…”
“That’s all? Do you know how much damage your rumor-mongering has done to Wu Duo? If I hadn’t brought this document today, would all of you have verbally attacked Wu Duo? If Wu Duo has a fragile state of mind and decides to commit suicide, that can lead to a terrible outcome! Where is your sincerity with that wisp of an apology?” Qiao Mei said.
“That’s right! At the very least, you should bow and apologize! All the students around you have already bowed and apologized. You’re the mastermind and yet you’re so insincere!” Li Xue said as she pointed at Xie Jing.
Xie Jing glared at Li Xue. He noted down the current expressions of Qiao Mei,
Li Xue and Wu Duo. To him, he and Qiao Mei had completely fallen out by
now.
He slowly lowered his head, bowed and gritted his teeth as he said, “I’m sorry, wu Duo.”
“Louder! I can’t hear you! Bow at 90 degrees!” Qiao Mei said sternly.
“Wu Duo! I’m sorry!” Xie Jing roared in a fit of pique.
Wu Duo’s eyes reddened as he said in satisfaction, “l accept your apology. You can get up.”
He had never imagined that a person like Xie Jing would bow and apologize to him. Wu Duo was not just emotional about this matter, but he felt as if the knot in his heart caused by the matter of the university spot back then seemed to have been untied.
“Alright, alright. Everyone, go back to class! It’s almost time for class!” Wu Duo said quickly.
The crowd dispersed noisily and Xie Jing also left without looking back. Wu Duo looked at Qiao Mei excitedly and said, “How do you know that I’m being bullied! Where did this document come from? When did my father come to fix the machines? 1 don’t seem to know anything!’
“Do you have 100,000 queries in your head? Why do you have so many questions? Which one should we answer first? We haven’t even reprimanded you. Can you be more smart? How can you ask Xie Jing for money but get the table turned on you!” Li Xue asked as she looked at Wu Duo.
“Can’t you see that it’s because I have a guilty conscience? I really don’t know that my name was removed from the list of underprivileged students,” Wu Duo said.
“Do the both of you have class in the afternoon?” Qiao Mei asked.
“No,” Wu Duo and Li Xue said in unison.
“Wu Duo, go and get Wang Wei. Let’s go to the cafeteria next door for lunch. Your treat,” Qiao Mei said.
“No problem! I’ll go get him now!” Wu Duo said excitedly.
The four of them sat on the first floor of the cafeteria. They did not go to the private room on the second floor as they were worried that others would gossip about them doing that. It was much better to do things in full view of the public now.
“You can order whatever you want! It’s my treat today! Order as much as you want!” Wu Duo said generously.
“Then let’s have pork trotters! A serving of braised pork ribs! Steamed fish! Stir-fried beef! No vegetables! We’ll have a meat feast today!” Wang Wei said happily..
