Ming Jing looked at the principal, then at Jessica Feng, smiled, and nodded. “Good, you have given me a lesson today.”
“When I came in through the school gate, I saw a couplet hanging there. It reads ‘It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred to make a difference in people.’ I wonder, Principal, do you still remember these eight characters?”
Ming Jing’s clear and calm gaze made the principal almost unable to look directly at her. The meaning behind her words filled him with immense shame and he was silent.
Many times, he felt helpless in his position.
“May I ask, Principal, what is your school’s motto?”
Before the principal could respond, Ming Chen immediately voiced out, “Upholding virtues and pursuing truth, honesty and love, forging the will to be strong, unity and progress.”
The sweet, clear voice of the little girl echoed inside the office, leaving the room silent for a moment.
“Well then, Principal, please tell me, which rule or school motto was violated when my sister fought with her classmate to warrant an expulsion? A school is a place of education, the most pure and clean place in the world. It is not a place for those who have power to bully others. Principal, you have disgraced your lifelong learning, your uniform, and all the students in the school.”
The cold voice of the young girl was powerful. Although it was very gentle, it was felt like a thunderclap in everyone’s ears.
“If the principal cannot give me an explanation today, I will have no choice but to report this to the education bureau.”
The principal’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. The parents of these students were surely not to be trifled with.
Jessica Feng sneered, “I advise you to take your sister and get out of the school. This is what happens when you cross my daughter.”
Ming Jing raised her eyebrows, “Oh? Madam, it was just a child’s fight, but you escalated it to such a serious level. What gave you such confidence? I’m ignorant, please enlighten me.”
Although she seemed young, her demeanor was not to be underestimated. She showed no fear from the beginning, but remained extraordinarily calm and composed.
Jessica Feng couldn’t compete with her confidence, which bordered on stupidity.
Jessica Feng sneered, but it was Li Yu who glared at Ming Chen and quickly said, “My uncle is Gu Qingshan, if you offend my uncle, you are doomed.”
Jessica Feng quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late to take back her words. She hit Li Yu on the shoulder in disappointment.
But the words had been spoken, and she had to deal with them as best she could. She assumed that the name would frighten the other party, that they would beg for mercy, and then take their sister and sheepishly leave. To her surprise, the young girl simply laughed lightly and looked at Li Yu.
“So, your father would be Li Yang?”
Li Yu stared at the young girl in front of her in amazement. Why was Ming Chen’s sister so beautiful, like a fairy descended from heaven?
Li Yu blankly nodded her head.
Jessica Feng didn’t expect her to guess her identity, but she didn’t deny it, “Apologize to my daughter, and I might consider not having the school expel your sister. However, you will inevitably be punished.”
“What a high-handedness. Even if Gu Qingshan himself were here, he would not have the power to casually expel students. Madam Li, there are limits to your arrogance. This is a school, not a place for you to bully.”
“You’re just a young whippersnapper talking big. Alright, you are bold. We shall see.” Jessica Feng couldn’t swallow this. She wouldn’t rest until she saw Ming Jing and her sister destroyed.
Jessica, unable to get the best of Ming Jing, put pressure on the principal, threatening, “Principal, you only have half a year left in your term, right?”
The principal looked helplessly at Ming Jing, “Madam Ming, I’m sorry…”.
“It seems the principal has made his choice.” Ming Jing nodded, took out her phone and dialed a number.
“Mr. Zhou, right? Please connect me with the mayor’s hotline. I want to report a case of abuse of power by Gu Qingshan. He has turned a blind eye to his relatives using his name to do evil in school…”
Jessica Feng’s heart jumped. She subconsciously tried to snatch the phone from Ming Jing’s hand. Ming Jing spun around gracefully, her skirt lifting and forming a beautiful curve, her posture light as a feather.
Jessica Feng ended up missing and burst out angrily, “Who are you trying to scare?”
Ming Jing said casually, “Everything we just discussed has been fully recorded as evidence.”
The principal looked at Ming Jing in shock. This young girl was truly brave. She really dared to report the abuse of power. Wasn’t she afraid of retaliation?
Ordinary people were no match for the powerful and privileged.
Jessica Feng stared at her incredulously, “You…intentionally set a trap for me right from the start?”
Ming Jing shook her head slightly, “The words were not forced out of you. You are an adult, and you must be responsible for your own actions and words.”
