Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Turning Point (13)

Xiao Yan choked up instantly: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”

Shu Jiao frowned, her tone still cold and indifferent: “You should say that to Student Jiaojiao.”

Xiao Yan was stunned, a feeling of humiliation surged in her. She couldn’t understand why Shu Jiao, a teacher, would hold a grudge against her, a student, especially in front of the entire class. Didn’t she feel embarrassed?

But she was also afraid of Shu Jiao, after all, Shu Jiao’s reputation in this school was not to be trifled with. Afraid that she might make her life difficult, she could only bite her lip and say: “I will apologize to her, I will also pay for it.”

Shu Jiao nodded, her attitude from start to finish was bland, as if she didn’t care at all. But it was precisely this attitude that made Xiao Yan feel extremely embarrassed.

Shu Jiao naturally also noticed Xiao Yan’s discontent. Originally, she indeed only planned to go this far, but thinking of Ruan Jiaojiao’s recent misfortunes, she pondered for a moment and before leaving, looked at Xiao Yan and said: “Xiao Yan, no matter how good your grades are, if your character is bad, you won’t go far, don’t you think?”

At this, Xiao Yan’s face turned completely pale.

Shu Jiao had already turned and left the classroom doorway.

“What did Teacher Shu mean by her last words?”

“Yeah, what bad character?”

“…” Once Shu Jiao left, the entire classroom buzzed with noise, someone even directly asked Xiao Yan: “Xiao Yan, what did Teacher Shu mean, what bad character?”

“How would I know!” Xiao Yan yelled back, then slumped onto the desk, burying her face in her arms. To outsiders, she seemed to be crying, but in truth, she was scared, the kind with a chill down her spine.

Perhaps it was too much guilt, the way Shu Jiao looked at her just now made her feel as if she was skinned alive, she felt like Shu Jiao probably knew it was her spreading the rumors.

“Teacher Shu, Teacher Shu…” The homeroom teacher of class one followed behind Shu Jiao out, watching Shu Jiao walking towards class two, he recalled what he just said, feeling somewhat embarrassed, he hurriedly called out to her.

Shu Jiao turned back to look at him.

Teacher Gong awkwardly said: “Teacher Shu, sorry about earlier, I was narrow-minded.”

Upon hearing this, Shu Jiao smiled: “I’ve often heard that Teacher Gong is professionally top-notch, having taught many outstanding students, but there’s something I’m not sure Teacher Gong has heard before.”

Teacher Gong looked at her puzzled.

“Educating people first means cultivating virtue, becoming talented first means becoming a person, this is what we teachers should strive to achieve, right.”

Teacher Gong was stunned, then his face flushed with shame.

And Shu Jiao had already entered class two, many students in class two recognized Shu Jiao, knowing she is not only Ruan Jiaojiao’s mother but also the head of the senior year.

The students sitting in the front row immediately greeted her eagerly.

Shu Jiao nodded at them, looked at the seats of Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi, and found them empty. She asked: “Are your classmates Ruan and Xiu out?”

“Huh?” A student sitting in the first row looked at her in surprise: “Teacher Shu, you didn’t know? Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi didn’t come today.”

“Didn’t come?” Shu Jiao’s expression changed.

The student nodded: “Yeah, they haven’t arrived.”

Shu Jiao furrowed her brow, thanked the student, then turned and walked out. Unable to wait to go downstairs to the office, she directly borrowed a phone from the first-year office and called the Ruan Family, but no one answered.
