“Is there a possibility that this video is fake?” Mei Yun’s main concern was still this question.
Many of the fathers of the students at First High were his business partners. If they all knew about Mei Shu’s situation, it was likely that no one would want to associate with the Mei family in the future. He would be isolated!
The homeroom teacher couldn’t give a definitive answer and could only explain vaguely, “The police are already investigating, and Mei Shu hasn’t received any punishment from the school yet. So, for now, she can still be considered innocent in this matter.”
“Innocent? I think it’s just because the police haven’t reached a conclusion yet, so the school can’t take action prematurely. Maybe the principal has already prepared the expulsion speech for Mei Shu!” Some parents who didn’t know the Mei family’s background openly mocked.
Mei Yun couldn’t bear the insult and angrily pointed at the woman. “Stop talking nonsense. My Shu Er would never do such a thing!”
“The video has been recorded. How can it be fake?” The woman rolled her eyes in disdain. “1 really don’t know what your family is like. Why didn’t you educate your daughter well? It’s too late for regrets now. Your daughter will surely be expelled!”
“You!” Mei Yun stared at her, feeling increasingly uncomfortable in his chest.
The teacher quickly intervened and tried to mediate. “Parents, let’s not jump to conclusions. We need to wait for the results of the police investigation. Please disperse for now, and we’ll proceed with the parent-teacher meeting.”
“Mei Shu’s father, come with me to the classroom!” The teacher hurriedly led Mei Yun into the classroom, fearing that he might lose his temper and start a fight with the other parents, which would only lead to more negative publicity for their school.
Reluctantly, Mei Yun entered the classroom and sat down. He had thought that he would become the center of ridicule in the classroom, but to his surprise, he received sympathetic looks from many parents.
However, sometimes sympathy could be another form of insult to a proud person.
Mei Yun really wanted to leave immediately, but doing so would only confirm the Mei family’s guilt. So, he forced himself to sit in his seat and endure it, planning to have a thorough discussion with Mei Shu when he got home.
“On the desks, you’ll find the report cards of the students. Parents, please take a look, and if you have any questions, you can ask me,” the teacher said, relieved that Mei Yun had finally seated himself obediently, and began organizing the parent-teacher meeting.
Mei Yun sighed heavily, picked up the report cards, and began to look through them, starting from the bottom. After searching for a while, he still couldn’t find Mei Shu’s name but instead saw Mei Mu’s.
His expression became somewhat bewildered, and he couldn’t help but think of Mei Mu’s previous actions and her criminal record. Suddenly, even this report card felt like an eyesore to him.
Originally, she could have become a brilliant daughter under his careful upbringing, but she had played her cards poorly. Now, she had brought all this upon herself.
As for Mei Shu…
Mei Yun furrowed his brows and continued to look upwards, but before he could find Mei Shu’s grades, parents sitting in the front row turned around and greeted him with smiles. “Hello, Mei Shu’s father. My daughter is Wen Miao. Thanks to Mei Shu’s help and the study group she suggested, my daughter has improved a lot. 1 really want to thank that child in person.”
Mei Yun was taken aback. He didn’t expect that with Mei Shu’s notorious reputation, there would still be people willing to speak to him in such a friendly manner.
But before he could react, several other parents sitting nearby said the same thing.
“Our child has told us that the reason why the entire class can improve so much this time is that Mei Shu proposed to set up a study team. She is also willing to share her notes with everyone for free. My son can improve by three places this time because of Mei Shu. I really have to thank you!”
“That’s right, that’s right. Mei Shu’s father, don’t worry about what those people outside are saying. My daughter said that Mei Shu is happy to help her classmates in school. Her results are outstanding and her character is upright. Someone must want to harm her and doesn’t want her to take the college entrance examination, so they spread those rumors!”
“Yes, you mustn’t wrong the child because of those things. Mei Shu is a promising student. I heard she even ranked second in the grade this time! I wish my son could be friends with your daughter. Maybe he’ll improve by tens of points on the college entrance exam!”
“Is what you’re all saying true?” Mei Yun was completely confused now.
Outside, people were cursing his daughter for damaging the school’s reputation, but inside the classroom, parents were praising her. What was the truth?
Wait a minute!
Someone just said that Mei Shu ranked second in her grade this time?
Mei Yun quickly picked up the report card and looked at it as if he had been electrocuted.
This time, he directly looked at the top of the report card and suddenly saw Mei Shu’s name at the very top!
She had made such significant progress in such a short time and had become the top student in the class!
Mei Yun suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to cry!
The intense emotional fluctuations had severe consequences on him, causing his mind to go blank. Before he could regain his composure, the homeroom teacher had already approached him..
