A few students in Han Jianyou’s class also testified.

"Yes, we were there. Yun Xirou called Jianyou a motherless child!"

"Yes, yes. She was the one who started the fight and started calling Han Jianyou all kinds of names."

"Jianyou has a mother. How can she call him a motherless child? I would have hit her too."

"She has been upset with Han Jianyou ever since she lost her position to him. She even lodged a complaint with Teacher Li, saying that Jianyou cheated in the exams to score the third rank. It was only after the other teachers and students testified that Jianyou was able to keep his ranking."

"Yun Xirou has been spreading rumours that Jianyou is a cheater!"

Listening to the testimonies of the children around her, Yun Xirou immediately pursed her lips and started throwing a tantrum. "You guys...you guys are all talking nonsense. I did not! I did not say it...you all are lying...I didn’t."

Her sharp voice made Yun Xinye a little embarrassed. Why was this girl crying? How many times had he told her that she should face such a situation calmly?

Yun Xinye immediately tried to mediate the situation. "I know what she said was too much...but—"

At that moment, Han Ruochen spoke coldly. "What is this? Who taught the child to say such harsh words? Jianyou and I naturally have a mother." Though Han Ruochen hated Meng Yunhan very much in her heart, she could only suppress her anger for the time being. This was all Meng Yunhan’s fault. She was the one who emboldened Yun Xinye and the Yun family too much. Look at them. They used her family’s money. Sucked their blood and ate their flesh and yet had the audacity to bully her brother.

She turned to look at the Principal and questioned, "Is this how a teacher should behave? This girl not only injured my brother but she also called him a bastard and spread rumours about him being a cheater despite my brother proving his innocence. What kind of treatment is this? My brother is a student of this school as much as she is...why the difference in treatment?"

"I admit that my brother might have been a bit naughty and rebellious before, but as teachers, you should be taking care of him and teaching him how to walk on the right path, instead of joining hands with other students in bullying him. I need an explanation for what happened, or else I will surely bring this matter to the education bureau! If you all won’t care about this case, then I will talk with someone who will."

How dare this corrupt teacher bully her brother in such a manner?

Everyone in the office turned solemn when they heard Han Ruochen’s harsh words. They knew that Han Ruochen was not threatening them. If they did not punish Yun Xirou properly, then she would definitely not leave this matter alone.

Teacher Jiang, the politics teacher, was still very kind to Han Jianyou. He turned to look at the principal and suggested, "I think what Student Yun did was indeed too much. She not only injured her classmate but also spread false rumours and called him names. No matter what, this is a serious matter. I believe that the school should issue a demerit to her."

"Teacher Jiang!" Hearing that his daughter would be receiving a demerit, Yun Xinye was no longer calm. When he heard that his daughter had gotten into trouble with someone named surname Han, he didn’t even take the matter seriously, as he knew that no one from the Han family would turn up. With Meng Yunhan in his palm, it was a simple matter to deal with. How come the person who came was Han Ruochen and not Meng Yunhan? And why was this girl so hard to deal with? She was such a tricky girl. She even caused his daughter to be issued a demerit! Yun Xinye was really angry. It seemed like he needed to talk with Meng Yunhan. What was that woman doing? How was she teaching these kids?

If Han Ruochen were treating his daughter like this – he wondered how she might be bullying Han Ziyan.

He spoke hurriedly. "I know that what my Xirou did was wrong, but there is no need to issue a demerit. I will ask her to apologise to student Han. Will this do?"

"That will depend on whether Student Han is willing to accept it or not." Principal Ji did not dare to take this matter into his hands anymore. Yun Xirou... he always thought that this girl was obedient and smart, but it turned out that she was so twisted. To think she called Han Jianyou a motherless child just because she was upset that Han Jianyou scored more than her. Even if she was academically good, a girl with such twisted morals was not someone he would support.

Everyone turned to look at Han Jianyou, who stiffened and raised his head to look at his sister. Seeing the worried look in his eyes, Han Ruochen knew that he must have been bullied by Yun Xirou many times but was suppressed by Meng Yunhan. She patted him on the head and comfortingly said, "There is no need to be scared. If you don’t want to accept her apology, then you don’t have to."

Only then did Han Jianyou heave a sigh of relief. He turned to look at the girl in front of him and said angrily, "I don’t want her to apologise to me. She is rude, and she always bullies me. In the classroom, she often trips me, and during lunch hours, she calls me poor and wretched for only eating vegetable dishes. So what if I am poor? I do not steal or rob anyone; I eat what I earn! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Xinye could not help but flush red in embarrassment. He knew that the boy did not know anything, but he had a thief in his heart. He was eating soft food by lying and coaxing Meng Yunhan. Thus, even though Han Jianyou did not mean it, he felt like the boy was targeting him.
