The office was in chaos at this moment. Zhang Lili’s mother received a phone call and hurried over. When she saw Zhang Lili’s disheveled appearance, she became furious: “My daughter came to your school to study, not to be bullied! Your school must give me an explanation for this!”

Director Ling smiled apologetically. When he saw the counselor bringing Shen Jing in, he quickly waved: “Shen Jing, come over here quickly.”

“Mom, sob, sob, sob, it was her who hit me.” Zhang Lili grabbed her mother’s arm and pointed at Shen Jing, lodging a complaint.

“It was you? You’re the one who made my daughter like this?” Zhang Lili’s mother immediately glared at Shen Jing fiercely.

“Yes, it was me,” Shen Jing replied straightforwardly. Seeing her attitude, Zhang Lili’s mother became even angrier and attempted to slap Shen Jing, but Director Ling quickly intervened: “Oh, Mrs. Zhang, please don’t get agitated first. Let’s talk calmly about this matter…”

“Talk calmly? How can I talk calmly? My daughter has been beaten like this!” Zhang Lili’s mother glared at Shen Jing with anger. “Your name is Shen Jing, right? Where are your parents? Bring them here. I want to see what kind of parents can raise such a rude and ill-mannered child like you!”

Director Ling knew about Shen Jing’s family situation. Shen Jing’s mother had passed away, and her father remarried. She was a pitiful child. He quickly explained to Zhang Lili’s mother, “Mrs. Zhang, Shen Jing’s mother has already passed away, and her father…”

Zhang Lili’s mother, being shrewd, immediately grasped the situation. She sarcastically mocked, “Oh, no wonder she has no manners.” Knowing that Shen Jing did not have parents to back her up, Zhang Lili’s mother became even more arrogant. “So it turns out that you have a mother but no mother to raise you…”

Before she finished her sentence, Shen Jing forcefully threw a book at Zhang Lili’s mother’s face, causing her to let out a scream. Shen Jing’s calm demeanor was replaced by a fierce anger as she stared at Zhang Lili. “If you can’t speak properly, should I sew your mouth shut?” Her mother was her sensitive spot. Anyone who dared to insult her mother, she would take their lives!

“Look! Is this the kind of student your school has? This is outrageous!” Zhang Lili’s mother’s face was in pain as she covered it. She pointed angrily at Shen Jing and said, ” I’m considered an elder, but she actually dared to attack me! How dare you do this in front of your school teachers? Expel her! Such a student must be expelled! I refuse to let my daughter study in the same school as such a rude and ill-mannered person!”

Just then, a deep voice sounded from outside the door: “Mrs. Zhang, as an elder, you should mind your words and show proper etiquette. Recklessly insulting someone’s mother may bring trouble upon yourself.”

Zhang Lili’s mother looked displeased at the person speaking. It was a middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes, not someone who seemed wealthy. She disdainfully chuckled and was about to speak when Director Ling hurriedly passed by her side and greeted the middle-aged man, “Principal Liu, why are you here?”

Zhang Lili’s mother’s expression froze. The principal? This plain-looking middle-aged man was actually the principal?

“I heard that something happened here, so I came to take a look,” Principal Liu said, glancing at Shen Jing before walking towards her.

“Oh, so you’re Principal Liu. I’ve heard so much about you.” Zhang Lili’s mother’s attitude changed drastically when she realized the person was Principal Liu. “Principal Liu,I’ve really troubled you. You even made a trip here for my daughter.”

“You’re overthinking it,” Principal Liu said casually. He walked up to Shen Jing with a helpless and somewhat annoyed expression. “You troublemaker, you really know how to cause problems for me, don’t you?”

Shen Jing knew that Principal Liu was long-time friends with her uncle, so she smiled and said, “Uncle Liu.”

“Uncle Liu?” Everyone in the office was stunned. Shen Jing actually knew Principal Liu?

Zhang Lili was also bewildered and couldn’t believe that Shen Jing knew Principal Liu. What kind of relationship did they have?

Zhang Lili’s mother didn’t expect Shen Jing to be acquainted with Principal Liu, and they seemed to have a good relationship. She hesitated for a moment and asked, “Principal Liu, are you and Shen Jing…”

“It’s none of your concern,” Principal Liu replied in a calm tone. Zhang Lili’s mother was taken aback, her expression turning unpleasant. Even if Shen Jing knew Principal Liu, so what? The fact that she had struck her precious daughter was undeniable! She demanded an explanation for this matter!

With that in mind, Zhang Lili’s mother straightened her back and said, “Principal Liu, I hope you won’t favor Shen Jing just because you know her. Shen Jing’s actions have had a severely negative impact on my daughter. I suggest the school expel her!”
