Because of Song Fengwan’s words, the atmosphere in the office became exceptionally strange.
No one had expected that she would dare to talk back like that.
“Say that again?” Mao Yinlan was so angry that her entire body was shaking. A little girl who’s not even an adult actually said that she wants to hit me?
“Please calm down and take a seat.” Gao Xue hurriedly stood up to mediate. “Song Fengwan, what are you saying…”
Her tone was full of disbelief.
“What? I don’t believe that with so many people here today, there’s no one who can judge!” Mao Yinlan was so agitated that she was ashen-faced.
There were many onlookers outside the office. To be rebuked by a junior, she felt that she had lost her dignity and was burning with rage.
Song Fengwan stood with her back straight. “I’m just too well-mannered. That’s why I’m standing here and letting you criticize me.”
“Manners? Hah—” Mao Yinlan was so angry that her lips trembled, and she couldn’t find the right words to refute her for a moment.
“Do you know how everything happened? And what role I played in them? You subjectively assumed that I harmed your son.
“And you even came to the place I study at and criticized me. Have you ever respected me?
“Those who respect others will always be respected. From the beginning, you’ve been looking at me with bias, and you didn’t even listen to a single word of my explanation. You said that I have no manners. Then may I ask where your manners are?”
Song Fengwan’s words were slow and unhurried yet also sharp and piercing, piercing straight into people’s hearts.
“You look quiet and well-behaved, but I didn’t expect you to have such a sharp mouth!” Mao Yinlan wished she could rush over and slap Song Fengwan. It was just that Gao Xue kept pulling her. Otherwise, she would have already made a move long ago.
“Song Fengwan, how can you talk to her like that? Can’t you talk less?” Gao Xue didn’t expect Song Fengwan to be so stubborn.
“Ms. Gao, you are an outsider, so you should speak impartially. Do you think there’s nothing wrong with what she said just now?”
Since she was young, Song Fengwan had interacted mostly with business people who were sophisticated and sleek. She couldn’t guess what Gao Xue was thinking thoroughly, but she could tell a thing or two.
Gao Xue was stunned.
“No matter what, I’m still your student. You just watched her attack me and never said a word of justice. Why can’t I defend myself when she can criticize me?”
Because of the sketch of Duan Linbai, Gao Xue had thought that Song Fengwan was vain and pretentious. So when Mao Yinlan came to find Song Fengwan, she already had the attitude of watching a show.
She didn’t expect Song Fengwan to expose her thoughts, and she couldn’t maintain her expression. She felt very embarrassed and awkward, and her face was terribly pale.
“You’re so bold. You even dare to talk back to your teacher.” Mao Yinlan harrumphed coldly.
“First of all, I really don’t know the details about why Xu Jingcheng was beaten up. I don’t even know the boys who beat him up.”
“Don’t you know Cheng Tianyi?” Mao Yin Lan rebuked. “Because you made him fall head over heels for you, he envies and hates my son.”
The police had asked Song Fengwan about it, but they didn’t find out about Cheng Tianyi at the time. She had also followed her mother back to Yuncheng soon afterward, so she didn’t pay attention to this matter.
After Xu Jingcheng was beaten up, many people in the school discussed it. The people on good terms with Cheng Tianyi all said that Cheng Tianyi was the one behind it. Moreover, he and Xu Jingcheng already weren’t on good terms, so he probably took the opportunity to act when he knew that Xu Jingcheng was chasing Song Fengwan.
This was only speculation, and Mao Yinlan only confirmed it here today.
“Since you’ve even checked my family background, have you checked Cheng Tianyi? He’s a hooligan, shameless, and profligate. He has defiled so many girls. Who has he really fallen for?
“He already had a conflict with Xu Jingcheng, and I was just the trigger for this whole thing!
“Yet you blamed all the problems on me. Don’t you feel that you are being biased?!”
Mao Yinlan had no idea that Cheng Tianyi already had a conflict with her son. After hearing what Song Fengwan said, she felt even more embarrassed and couldn’t control her expression.
She could only retort stubbornly, “This is all your side of the story.”
“Also, speaking of puppy love, Xu Jingcheng and I have only met around three or four times, and it was always him taking the initiative to look for me. I have never intended to date him and affect his studies. You can go back and ask your son if this is my one-sided story or not!
“If it is my fault, naturally I will admit to it. But I will not tolerate groundless slander for no reason.
“Lastly, I want to tell you that…”
Song Fengwan took a deep breath.
“As an outsider, you have no right to judge my family and upbringing.”
Mao Yinlan never expected Song Fengwan to be so sharp-tongued. She was rendered speechless, and her face was ashen.
“Alright, both of you should stop. Hurry up and go back to class.” A few teachers walked in to mediate the situation.
Mao Yinlan had believed Cheng Lan’s words, so she was eager to protect her son and was biased. Now, she was rendered speechless by Song Fengwan’s words and felt embarrassed.
“Both of you should calm down and slowly discuss the issue. If there’s any misunderstanding, it’ll be fine once you two talk it out.” Two teachers drew Mao Yinlan out of the staff room.
She was in the wrong in the first place, so when someone tried to persuade her, she went along with it.
Another female teacher patted Song Fengwan’s shoulder. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you back to class.”
No one wanted the matter to blow up and affect the reputation of the tutoring center, so they were trying to mediate on both sides.
Song Fengwan bit her lip. She felt even more stifled when she recalled that Mao Yinlan had complained about her to the school, and the teacher had misunderstood her.
Just as Mao Yinlan was about to walk out of the office, Song Fengwan gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t you think you owe me and my family an apology?”
Mao Yinlan’s heart trembled. She had been unreasonable, but she couldn’t let go of her pride to apologize to a little girl.
“Forget it, forget it.” The female teacher didn’t expect Song Fengwan to be so stubborn.
“Yeah, you should stop when it’s enough.”
Everyone could see that Mao Yinlan didn’t have the upper hand, but she still wanted her dignity. There were many people here, so she would definitely not be willing to apologize to a junior. Afraid that the matter would blow up again, everyone tried to persuade Song Fengwan.
“Exactly. Don’t be so unforgiving,” someone said.
“Young lady, don’t be too mean-spirited.”
Song Fengwan looked over at where the voice came from. But before she could speak, she heard a familiar voice at the door.
“She is in the right, yet she was still bullied, and she can’t even ask for an apology? Who exactly is the one being mean-spirited and unforgiving here?”
