Chapter 755: Admitting Mistake
Editor: Henyee Translations
Madam Sun’s expression changed. She looked at Madam Wu, hoping that she would say more, but Madam Wu was simply making something out of nothing.
Facing Gu Yundong’s pressure, Madam Wu did not have any confidence. She could only grit her teeth and hold her hands tightly.
However, her mind was blank and she could not find any words to refute.
Master Wen almost fainted. He felt more and more people around him, and the way they looked at him was getting worse.
Even the students who had run out to watch the show began to whisper.
Gu Yundong looked at Master Wen. “Say something. Where’s the evidence? Did a dog eat your conscience when you were hurting a child like this?”
“You, you, don’t pester me here.”
“Because you can’t reason with me, you say that I’m pestering you endlessly. Let everyone be the judge. Who’s in the wrong in this matter? Who’s pestering someone else endlessly and refusing to admit their mistake? Who’s disregarding human lives and ruining a child’s future?”
After Gu Yundong finished speaking, someone beside him immediately shouted, “I say, Master Wen, you said that the child was a thief. Show me the evidence.”
“That’s right. What right do you have to say that the child’s father can’t give him 50 copper coins as a reward? I even gave my child a tael of silver as New Year’s money.”
“I think he just thinks that the child is easy to bully because he came from the countryside and doesn’t have a backer. He might as well find a scapegoat.”
“You think you can be a teacher and educate others? Fortunately, my child hasn’t come here to study. These few days, I’m thinking of sending my child over to be enlightened. Forget it, I’ll go back and find another school.”
“Fortunately, you didn’t send your child over. Otherwise, if something was missing from the school, they might even chase your child out.”
There were more and more voices, and they were getting louder. At this moment, Master Wen wished he could find a hole to hide in.
Madam Sun glared at Madam Wu fiercely, angry that she was actually using her.
In the end, he had no choice. Seeing that the accusations around him were getting louder and louder, Master Wen was afraid that the entire town would be attracted over. He could only take a deep breath and say, “This is indeed my mistake. I misjudged Chen Jingwen.”
After saying that, he looked at Chen Jingwen and said, “The decision to expel you from the school is canceled. You’re still a student of Wen Mo Hall. Come back to class with me.”
Gu Yundong wanted to spit in his face. You want to let it go so easily after wronging someone? No way.
She looked down at Niu Dan beside her. “Are you going back to school?”
Gu Yundong did not want him to continue, but Niu Dan was not her biological younger brother after all. She could not decide for him on this matter.
Unexpectedly, Niu Dan shook his head vigorously. “I’m not going. I’m not going to this school to study anymore.”
Gu Yundong rubbed his head and smiled. She looked up. “Did you hear that?”
When Master Wen heard this, he nodded regretfully. “Since you’ve decided, I won’t force you. I was your teacher, and I hope that your future will be bright.”
With that, he turned around and walked in impatiently.
However, he had just taken a step when Shao Qingyuan suddenly reached out to stop him.
Master Wen was stunned and suddenly looked up. “What else do you want?”
“Master Wen is really interesting. Since you admit that you wronged Chen Jingwen and cleared him of the crime of stealing something, shouldn’t you return the fifty copper coins?”
Master Wen’s body stiffened. He turned around abruptly. “You, you…”
