The entire activity room fell silent in an instant.
After a while, Mrs. Li couldn’t contain her laughter, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the room.
Wang Yue wore a somewhat embarrassed expression, and her heart sank.
Others might not know, but she was well aware that this time Mei Mu had to secure a place in the top ten of her grade, or her investment of millions would go down the drain!
However, in front of Mrs. Li, she couldn’t simply hang up the phone, so she reluctantly got up to take the call in a corner.
Mrs. Li couldn’t pass up on such a big joke and firmly grabbed Wang Yue’s arm, not letting her go. “Oh, Sister Wang Yue, just take the call here! Let a parent of a struggling student like me hear what a teacher says when they call the parents of a good student!”
Wang Yue glared at her angrily, struggled a few times, and surprisingly couldn’t pull her arm back. She couldn’t help but roar in frustration,
“Let go of me!”
“Hello?” The grade director was now anxious and heard laughter coming from the other side, which made him even more displeased. His tone turned cold as a result.
Wang Yue quickly regained her composure and asked, “Teacher, what is this all about?”
The grade director furrowed his brow and said, “Do you know what Mei Mu has been up to lately? I’ve been in this profession for many years, and I’ve never seen a student who loves causing trouble as much as her, especially a girl! How have you been educating your child?”
Wang Yue felt very embarrassed by his reprimand, and her face turned bright red in an instant.
Mrs. Li was even more delighted and exchanged a knowing glance with the other two women next to her, as they all enjoyed watching the drama.
Before Wang Yue could hang up the speakerphone, the grade director’s voice came through again. “Your daughter Mei Mu has gotten herself into quite a mess this time. It has had an extremely negative impact on the school, and there are rumors about her all over the campus. As her mother, you’ve failed in your duties!”
“Teacher, please tell us what has happened to Mei Mu,” Wang Yue responded with irritation after receiving such a scolding.
Even if Mei Mu had done something wrong, she was still her daughter.
As a mother, she naturally didn’t want to hear others criticize her child in front of her.
The grade director sensed her impatience and sneered, “If you’re angry, go to the police station and throw your tantrum. Just now, a team of police officers personally took Mei Mu away. They said she’s involved in a rape case, and they have solid evidence! You should hurry and find out what’s going on! The school is also waiting for an explanation!”
“What did you say?” Wang Yue was shocked and slammed her hand on the table.
Before, even if Mei Mu had offended people, it was just a verbal dispute, which was nothing serious.
However, being taken away by the police, especially in connection to such a shameful case, was a completely different matter.
“This is impossible! There’s no way my daughter could be involved in something like that!” Wang Yue’s tone was resolute. “The police must have made a mistake! I hope you can manage the rumors in the school and I’ll find out the truth. After I’ve clarified everything, I will give the school an explanation!”
After saying that, she hastily hung up the phone, not bothering to hear what the grade director had to say on the other end, and quickly grabbed her bag to leave.
Mrs. Li cracked open sunflower seeds and taunted, “Oh my, is your exemplary student planning to enter the police academy and starting her internship early? I’ve never heard of a child at such a young age being invited to those kinds of places for tea!”
Wang Yue’s footsteps abruptly halted, and she spun around as if possessed, grabbing Mrs. Li’s collar and shouting, “Stop talking nonsense! My daughter must be wronged! If you keep blabbering, I’ll tear your mouth off!”
“Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Mrs. Li had long found Wang Yue disagreeable, and she impatiently shook off her grip, smoothing her wrinkled collar. “1 heard that the young master from the Lin family was taken to the police station a couple of days ago too, supposedly because of some rape case. He claimed he was acting on someone else’s orders. Now the Lin family is searching everywhere for the mastermind, saying they want revenge!”
After saying this, she cast a contemptuous glance in Wang Yue’s direction, spat on the ground with disdain, and continued, “Now I understand. The mastermind Lin Feng was talking about is probably your daughter! Such a young age, and her thoughts are so wicked! Who knows what she’ll do when she grows up, maybe even murder and arson!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Wang Yue was so angry that she was on the verge of physical confrontation with Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Han quickly intervened, blocking Wang Yue, and said, “You should hurry to the police station and check on Mei Mu’s situation. Arguing with her here won’t change anything!”
Taking into consideration the Han family’s status, Wang Yue reluctantly withdrew her hand, glaring angrily at Mrs. Li. She declared, “You just wait! Mei Mu has absolutely nothing to do with this matter! Once I prove my daughter’s innocence, I’ll make you kneel down and apologize to her!”
Mrs. Li chuckled and dismissed her with indifference, “I’m afraid that day will never come!”
Wang Yue clenched her fists, suppressing the urge to strike Mrs. Li in the face, and walked away, seething with anger..
