How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s

Chapter 230: Chapter 232: Scheming_1

The noise coming from the classroom attracted the attention of the two policemen.

They exchanged glances, stepped forward, and produced their badges, "Are you Lv Qian? Someone reported you for spreading rumors and slander. Please come with us."

Lv Qian panicked completely, "I, I, I didn’t."

Xue Sufen twisted the knife, "You were just saying it a moment ago."

"Come with us."

Lv Qian didn’t want to go but didn’t dare to resist, and obediently followed them. As soon as she stepped out of the classroom, she ran into Li Qiao. No longer caring about face, she pleaded with Li Qiao, "Li Qiao, I was wrong. Please don’t let them take me away."

Li Qiao sidestepped her, leisurely saying, "Weren’t you bragging in front of me this morning that no one would investigate you? Isn’t this what you wished for?"

This was just the first step; she still had to write a complaint and sue. Wait and see the lawsuit that’s coming!

Lv Qian regretted deeply and walked away dejectedly.

After the class bell rang, the English teacher entered the classroom and, for the first time, took out the attendance list to call roll. Apart from Lv Qian, who had been taken away for investigation, there was another person, Cheng Shuqin, who hadn’t made it to the classroom.

The English teacher said, "After class, tell the students who skipped class to prepare for a makeup exam at the end of the semester."

Students who often skipped classes secretly rejoiced they had come that day.

Li Qiao felt extremely delighted! With demerits and makeup exams, Cheng Shuqin’s first year of university life was really exciting.

....

After the morning classes had ended.

Li Qiao and Ma Hongxiang were walking towards the library when they bumped into the crestfallen Lv Qian. Lv approached and sincerely apologized to her and promised never to talk about her again in the future.

Li Qiao was unmoved, "You go ahead and talk. This time you were called in for a reprimand, next time it’ll be jail time."

The scare left Lv Qian’s heart hanging. The police had put her on file after giving her a stern talking-to, and she had no idea if it would affect her job assignment in the future. If she made another mistake, she might indeed end up in jail. She wept bitterly, "I dare not anymore. What can I do to make you forgive me?"

"I won’t forgive," Li Qiao said ruthlessly. Forgiving others’ mistakes was to condone their cruelty towards oneself.

Whoever offended her, she would deal with.

No mercy.

Lv Qian left, sobbing and sniffling.

Ma Hongxiang said, "Serves her right!"

Li Qiao’s brow arched slightly. Ma Hongxiang had complained to her more than once about Lv Qian, and now she didn’t hide her contempt at all. Lv must have given her quite a hard time usually, right?

Many in the class were talking about this incident, and Ma Hongxiang pointed out Lv Qian for her to deal with.

Using others to apply pressure, she was quite scheming indeed.

Li Qiao didn’t expose her, pretending nothing was the matter as she went into the library with her.

Ma Hongxiang liked to sit alone, "I’m off then."

Li Qiao hummed in acknowledgment and went straight to the seat reserved by Old Mrs. Qin to translate her books.

About two hours later, Li Qiao was ready to leave.

Just as she looked up, she saw Xue Lingqing coming her way.

Old Mrs. Qin waved enthusiastically.

Xue Lingqing said softly, "Mrs. Qin, hello."

"Oh, you’re late. Our Qiaoqiao is about to leave," Old Mrs. Qin said.

Xue Lingqing gave a forced smile, as if she thought Old Mrs. Qin was matchmaking him and Li Qiao, "Li Qiao probably doesn’t have any questions to ask."

Old Mrs. Qin chuckled, "That’s fine then."

"Grandma, Professor Xue, I’m leaving," Li Qiao covered her mouth with her hand as she spoke.

Old Mrs. Qin and Xue Lingqing responded softly at the same time.

After taking a seat, Xue Lingqing caught sight of the manuscript by Old Mrs. Qin’s side, "Li Qiao’s?"

Old Mrs. Qin again lowered her voice, "Yes." She spoke of Li Qiao taking the manuscript to prepare for publishing a translation, "Your mom said you’ve been abroad on government assignment. Take a look and see if her translation is good. Such a thick manuscript would take several months to translate; it would be a waste if it ended up all for nothing."

Xue Lingqing was quite shocked.

Sufen had said she had seen Li Qiao’s family photo; Qin Jin’s old home was so poor it only had two crumbling adobe houses left. The old mother had mentioned never seeing Qin Jin work, and he had thought about introducing her to a publishing house. She could earn ten or twenty yuan a month, which would be enough for her family’s food and drink, and she could save some of her allowance for future emergencies.

But who would have thought she’d go straight to translating a whole book? She must be making a fortune now, right?

He began to leaf through it.

The handwriting was neat, with no corrections.

The language is simple and reflects reality, yet it does not lack elegance.

The whole passage is fluent and natural; even he felt inferior to it.

She is truly talented, how wonderful it would be if she were his significant other.

They could discuss literature together, discuss mathematics...

He hurriedly dismissed the thought.

He shouldn’t think about it, nor was it appropriate to.

He closed the notebook, "The translation is very good."

Old Mrs. Qin was overjoyed, "With you saying that, I am relieved."

.....

Li Qiao rushed into the classroom due to time constraints.

As soon as he took his seat, the young woman who had a conflict with Cheng Shuqin last night, with a group of girls by her side, entered the classroom, "Hit the fairest one for me." The group headed straight for Li Qiao.

The first girl approaching her raised her hand and aimed a slap at Li Qiao’s face.

Unflustered, Li Qiao used her elbow to block it, prompting the girl’s companion to pick up a stool and throw it.

Li Qiao nimbly dodged.

The stool flew and instantly knocked down a classmate behind Li Qiao, leaving them on the floor with a bleeding head.

The classroom descended into chaos.

Seeing this, the young woman, worried about getting into trouble, turned to make a quick escape.

The male students in the class closed the door, trapping the group inside. Hit someone and think you can leave?

Everyone worked together to restrain the troublemaking young woman and her companions.

At that moment, the class bell rang, leading the young woman to believe she could escape once class began, but even after the teacher arrived, the students did not let go of the group.

In the end, they were turned over to the security office.

Li Qiao followed and identified that the group belonged to Cheng Shuqin, and the security office called Cheng Shuqin to identify them.

Cheng Shuqin tried to pretend she didn’t know the young woman, but the young woman cried out, calling her cousin.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shuqin’s expression changed, but she collected herself and said, "Pandid, what are you doing at the school?"

"Isn’t it to vent your anger for you?" Cheng Pandid said aggrievedly.

Li Qiao, "Venting anger? So you spread gossip about me? Brought people to the classroom to hit me?" After this incident, the school, once open to everyone, will probably be difficult for the public to visit for tours.

Cheng Shuqin rebuked, "Don’t talk nonsense, we didn’t spread the rumors. I heard it from Lv Qian."

Li Qiao chuckled to herself, thinking, you could always arrange for people to gossip for Lv Qian to hear.

Lv Qian was well-known in the class for being a loudspeaker, how could she not spread such explosive gossip?

Cheng Shuqin denied it and threatened to use the method Li Qiao used against Lv Qian on her, "Just wait till I sue you."

Li Qiao, "Sue me? Under what pretense? Did I spread rumors about you, make up stories about you? Bring people into the class to look for you? You better worry about yourself!" She walked away.

Cheng Shuqin became nervous.

Her cousin’s mess fell onto her head.

Could she be expelled?

First, she got Cheng Pandid released, then actively went to the head teacher to admit her mistake.

The head teacher promptly presented her with an expulsion notice for her to sign.

Today, he had asked several teachers about Cheng Shuqin’s usual performance.

Professor Xue said Cheng Shuqin was often late and left early, showing a lack of respect for the teachers.

The English teacher said Cheng Shuqin would skip classes without reason.

Professor Dai and other teachers didn’t recognize her, but they were all impressed with Li Qiao and full of praise. They were outspoken that the school had no reason to protect a student who was up to no good while allowing a student with both good conduct and academic performance to be grievanced.

Mr. Che thought about this and sighed, "I have given you three chances. Three strikes you’re out."

Cheng Shuqin collapsed completely, "Mr. Che, give me one more chance, I dare not do it again."

"It’s too late." Mr. Che asked her to sign again, determined not to let a student with poor conduct endanger the good students.

Cheng Shuqin refused to sign and turned to go home to have her parents decide for her.
