“Yu, sweetie? Why are you here?”
Qin Yu clearly did not understand what was going on. She stood stunned on the spot.
Shouldn’t Sun Ping be the one Xu Jiaojiao was hiding right now? Yet, here he was, standing at the door. His clothes were neat and tidy, unlike what everyone had imagined.
Lu Huan quickly retracted her hand, her heart trembling.
Something was wrong! Logically speaking, shouldn’t he be on Xu Jiaojiao’s bed?
Then, what was Xu Jiao jiao hiding?
Everyone was shocked. It was such a sudden twist.
Seeing this, Xu Jiao jiao did not continue to tuck herself in. She lifted the blanket and revealed a sleeping bag. Xu Jiaojiao’s lower body was tucked into the sleeping bag, and beside her was the hotel’s spare blanket.
Lu Huan and Qin Yu were completely dumbfounded. Why was it a blanket? Why was she hiding it!?
Everyone in the room was dumbfounded. Only Xu Jiaojiao remained calm as she leaned against the bedframe, as if everything was within her expectations.
“What exactly happened here?” Sun Ping walked in.
“Mr. Sun…” One of the students cautiously said, “Your fiancee brought this girl here to look for you. This girl swore… that you and Xu Jiaojiao had that kind of relationship.”
“What utter nonsense!” It was rare for Sun Ping to be this angry. His face darkened as he stared at Lu Huan. “Who are you? 1 don’t know you. Why are you slandering me and my student?”
Lu Huan was frightened by Sun Ping’s rage. She grabbed the hem of her blouse with both hands frantically, looking at Qin Yu for help.
Seeing this, Qin Yu said softly, her eyes filled with worry, “Sun Ping, you went missing last night. I couldn’t get through to you on the phone at all. Do you know how worried I was about you?”
“My student has a fever, so I went out to buy medicine last night, but the pharmacy at the clinic was closed. I took a taxi to buy medicine elsewhere, but my car broke down on the way and my phone ran out of battery.”
After Sun Ping finished speaking, his tightly furrowed brows did not relax at all. He asked, “Yu, don’t tell me you also believed their nonsense?”
“I…” Qin Yu wanted to explain, but everyone had seen what she and Lu Huan did. She could not explain even if she wanted to.
“This is ridiculous.” Sun Ping was so angry that he laughed. He looked at Qin Yu seriously and said, “I’m a teacher. I only care for Xu Jiaojiao as a teacher. My student is reserved and introverted, so 1 gave her a few more pointers than usual. To think bad-faith actors would interpret that as romantic advances!
“Qin Yu, you’re a famous teacher yourself. How could you judge me and my student so maliciously? You really disappoint me.”
Qin Yu’s eyes were already filled with tears. After hearing Sun Ping’s words, she wept uncontrollably.
“It’s my fault. I was confused for a moment and came over without thinking carefully…”
Before Qin Yu could finish, Sun Ping said lightly, “I think you were misled. Someone used you to accuse Ms. Xu.”
Although he did not mention Lu Huan, everyone could tell that he meant her.
Lu Huan’s face was pale. She turned to Qin Yu for help again. “Ms. Qin…”
Qin Yu looked at Sun Ping. He had always been gentle, but now he had a very dark expression on his face. He clearly was not going to let this matter slide. Right now, she could not even protect herself, let alone help Lu Huan.
However… This gave her an idea.
“Huanhuan, don’t you feel sorry at all? I put all my heart and soul into teaching you, but you lied to me! You sowed discord between Mr. Sun and me.”
Qin Yu’s words made Lu Huan’s body tremble. She never expected Qin Yu to turn the tables and pin all the blame on her.
Instantly, she felt deeply hurt, and her eyes unknowingly turned red.
Just then, Sun Ping walked up to her solemnly. “Young lady, I don’t know why you wanted to sow discord between Ms. Qin and me, but your actions have caused me and even my student, Xu Jiaojiao, great trouble. 1 will definitely press charges. Every student here will testify for me!”
“That’s right, sir. We will testify for you!” The girl who spoke earlier echoed.
Faced with everyone’s gaze, Lu Huan lowered her head. Her vision was already blurred by tears.
Qin Yu could not help but soften her stance. In the end, Lu Huan was still her student. She reprimanded, “Aren’t you going to apologize to Mr. Sun and Ms. Xu?”
Lu Huan stood where she was without saying a word. To her, admitting defeat to Xu Jiaojiao was the greatest humiliation of her life.
“Do you think you can avoid the consequences by staying silent?” Sun Ping saw through Lu Huan’s thoughts, but he did not give her any leeway. “If you refuse to apologize, I will be forced to use the law to protect my rights and interests..”
