Seeing this, the class monitor said indignantly, “Madam Zhou, you’re the one who slandered Teacher Qiao as a mistress and even forced the chancellor to fire her. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, Teacher Qiao isn’t even making things difficult for you but you’re not even willing to apologize?”
The students could not stand it anymore and started arguing. Chancellor Chen said in an unhappy tone, “Madam Zhou, it’s your fault. If you insist on not apologizing, it’ll affect the Zhou family and Zhou Lin’an negatively.”
A trace of impatience flashed past Qiao Xi’s eyes, then she stared fixedly at Madam Zhou. The older woman’s eyes revealed a faint red color. Madam Zhou’s body suddenly stiffened, and she instantly lost consciousness. Her mind seemed to have gone numb, then the words in her heart surged out like a tide. She shouted at the top of her voice, “Chancellor Chen, if you had listened to me and fired Qiao Xi, none of this would have happened. You still want me to apologize to her? Dream on!
“I’m the mistress of the Zhou family. Why should I apologize to this vixen? Even if she wasn’t the one who instigated this matter, she still seduced my son! I won’t apologize! So what if I wronged her and slandered her? If she had obediently left the university, the matter wouldn’t have blown up!
“You poor students still dare to point fingers at me? After you graduate, you might have to work in the Zhou family’s company. If you offend me now, you’ll suffer!”
Madam Zhou readily said what was on her mind. Actually, she did not want to say it, but for some reason, she said everything out loud. She was a little surprised herself, but she did not have time to think about it. She just felt comfortable after saying everything.
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up. It turned out that in Madam Zhou’s eyes, she could rely on her power to suppress others, which was why her son was as disrespectful as her. He wantonly played with other people’s emotions and bodies, not treating others as humans.
Alright! It seemed that Madam Zhou wanted to compete with her in terms of power!
All the students, including the chancellor, had gloomy expressions as they glared at Madam Zhou.
This was Li City University, one of the top 10 universities in the country. They were all pillars of the country, but now, they were actually looked down on by a shrew. It was simply an insult.
Chancellor Chen’s voice was cold. “Madam Zhou, I order you to apologize to Teacher Qiao immediately! Apologize to all the students too! Otherwise, I’ll let you know Li City University’s true power!”
Madam Zhou looked arrogant. “Tsk! Come on! I want to see what you can do to me.”
This was the first time Chancellor Chen had seen such an unreasonable person. He sneered. “Madam Zhou, we’ll follow the legal procedures and sue you for slander. Just wait to apologize to Qiao Xi in court!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the assistant hurriedly walked in front of the chancellor and said in a low voice, “Chancellor, Mr. Zhou is here.”
Immediately after, hurried footsteps came from outside the door. The person’s footsteps were heavy. Soon, a round middle-aged man appeared at the door. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and hurriedly asked, “Who’s Teacher Qiao?”
When Madam Zhou saw that her husband had arrived, she instantly beamed with joy, but her tone was still a little resentful. “Hubby, you’re finally here. These people are bullying me and my son! You have to stand up for me! Qiao Xi actually wants me to apologize to her. She’s just a lousy teacher. What right does she have to make me apologize?
“Hubby, quickly persuade the chancellor to fire Qiao Xi! She offended me. I don’t want her in Li City! Hurry up and chase her out of Li City. I’m annoyed just looking at her. Moreover, this little vixen even seduced Lin’an and has ideas of marrying into our Zhou family!”
The students present were filled with anger. This person wanted to ruin the future and job of an outstanding teacher just because she had some power. What right did she have to decide the fate of others?
Chancellor Chen’s expression was gloomy like ink, and the anger in his eyes grew stronger and stronger. Ignoring Qiao Xi’s background, she was a rare talent. She was the chief designer of Liuli. Her talent could make every student in the design department shine. Moreover, Qiao Xi had done nothing wrong from the beginning until the end. He had no reason to fire Qiao Xi.
He had been the chancellor for many years and had many connections in Li City. The Zhou family was not considered a top family in high society. Where did they get the confidence to think that they could rule Li City?
Moreover, Qiao Xi’s backer was Gu Zheng. Who in Li City could be more powerful than Gu Zheng? If they offended Qiao Xi, they wouldn’t be able to continue being arrogant for long.
