Liu Chunxia’s sharp voice made people’s eardrums buzz. Everyone present instinctively frowned. It was obvious that they did not have a good impression of Li Yunmei’s mother. With this woman making a scene, even if Li Yunmei were the weaker party, she would not be able to arouse anyone’s sympathy.
Li Yunmei, on the other hand, was sitting in a wheelchair at the side with a wronged look on her face. She acted well.
“Madam Liu, since Student Jian Ai is here, it is enough to prove that our school is investigating this matter thoroughly.” At this moment, Principal Sun Boyou walked forward and said to Li Yunmei’s mother, “We all know that you feel sorry for your daughter. However, since it is an injury incident, as a school, we still have to clarify the matter. If our school failed in its duties, we will definitely not shirk the responsibility. As for Student Jian Ai, if it is her fault, we will definitely punish her and give you a satisfactory explanation.”
Principal Sun’s words were exceptionally fair and neutral. As the principal of Erzhong, he had an invisible sense of righteousness that made people not dare to be disrespectful.
Hearing that, Liu Chunxia took a deep breath and glared at Jian Ai with a fierce look. She said, “Fine, I want to hear her explanation. The hospital proved my daughter’s injury. How can she deny it?”
Seeing that Liu Chunxia finally stopped shouting, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Principal Sun looked past Teacher Li and at Jian Ai. He said calmly, “Student Jian Ai, right? Tell us what happened between you and Li Yunmei after school yesterday. Did you fight? How did her leg get injured?”
“Tell the principal what happened yesterday. Don’t worry.” Teacher Li didn’t forget to cheer Jian Ai.
Jian Ai immediately nodded. Then, without any fear, she walked out from behind Teacher Li to the front. Her petite body stood straight, and even her back view appeared neither servile nor overbearing.
“After school yesterday, Guan Tao and I were planning to take a bus from the bus stop opposite…”
Jian Ai’s thoughts were clear, and she fluently narrated what had happened yesterday. Her tone was proper as if she was telling someone else’s story.
In the end, Jian Ai didn’t forget to add, “Li Yunmei’s injuries are proportional to the strength of her kick yesterday. If she hadn’t used her full strength, how could she have been injured so badly? If I hadn’t instinctively dodged at that time, would I have been the one lying in the hospital today?”
“Nonsense!”
Li Yunmei could not help but panic when she heard this. She shouted at Jian Ai with a red face.
“Jian Ai is not talking nonsense. Li Yunmei was the one who started it yesterday. She was also the one who laid a hand first.” Guan Tao, who was at the side, quickly opened her mouth to be Jian Ai’s witness.
“Why are you so vicious at such a young age? Don’t you feel guilty at all for beating a classmate up like that?!” Liu Chunxia didn’t believe Jian Ai. Her daughter had already told her that it was Jian Ai who caused this.
“Guilty? What do I have to feel guilty about?” Jian Ai didn’t care about Li Yunmei’s mother at all. She said slowly, “It’s like a pig suddenly ran towards me with all its might. As a normal person, I instinctively dodged it. Then, the pig bumped into a tree by itself. Am I to be blamed? Do I have to feel guilty towards the pig?”
