Chapter 91: 091 It’s time for you to apologize

Jiang Xuan’s casual remark seemed to instantly rob everyone in the auditorium of their ability to speak.

If Jiang Xuan had said that he was just present at the time, everyone might have understood, but to say that the man in the photo, who was intimate with Xia Ye, was him...

It took a long time before someone finally said in a daze, "Is that true? The person in the photo is President Jiang?"

"President Jiang... is Xia Ye’s intimate other?"

It’s strange how people think sometimes.

When everyone was biased and saw only the intimate silhouette of the man in the photos, their minds were filled with vulgar phrases like ’high school student escorting’, ’being kept by a wealthy person’, ’degrading oneself willingly’.

But when they superimposed Jiang Xuan’s face onto it, those words were all swept away.

Furthermore, Jiang Xuan had clearly said that he was just pretending at the time and did not actually touch her.

The same set of photos, with Jiang Xuan as the male lead, not only lost all sense of impropriety, but even became somewhat exciting?

"President Jiang’s reaction just now when he pulled Xia Ye behind him, wasn’t that too indulgent?"

"Do you feel that when President Jiang said he didn’t touch her, there was actually a sense of regret?"

"Although I don’t want to admit it, I’m really starting to feel jealous of Xia Ye aaaaah!"

Jiang Xuan looked coldly at Zhao Yuhuan, "Just now you said she was full of lies, give me an example to listen to."

Feeling the intimidating aura of their CEO, Shen Jing couldn’t help but sweat for Zhao Yuhuan.

But he was more relieved that it was fortunate that they had deceived the CEO to come.

Although Miss Xia seemed to have no reaction after knowing about the CEO’s sponsorship of the school, as if she didn’t think the CEO sponsored it for her, how sad she would have been if the CEO really wasn’t present when old witch slandered her!

Zhao Yuhuan met Jiang Xuan’s gaze and immediately felt a chill crawl up her spine.

She looked at Principal Tian helplessly.

Tian Hanwen’s expression was cold, showing no intention of speaking up for her.

Zhao Yuhuan smiled stiffly, "That... I was just a bit anxious then..."

Jiang Xuan’s sharp eyes stared at her, and he said in a strong tone, "Apologize."

Zhao Yuhuan immediately straightened up, and if not for Jiang Xuan’s presence, she might have exploded the next second.

She was a teacher, why should she apologize to a student?

Jiang Xuan read her thoughts, turned his face to Tian Hanwen, "The Jiang family has donated so much money to the school..."

He tilted his chin towards Zhao Yuhuan, his tone cold as ice, "Is this the teacher you hired back?"

Tian Hanwen felt a thud in his heart, then immediately, his tone was stricter than ever, "Teacher Zhao! If you wronged a student, you should apologize! Don’t you, as a headteacher, understand this simple principle?"

Zhao Yuhuan clenched her fists, facing her own class of students, she felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation surging in her heart.

Unable to defy Principal Tian, she could only unwillingly look at Xia Ye, "I’m sorry, I misunderstood you."

The usually assertive Zhao Yuhuan also had a day when she apologized to a student, leaving the students so shocked they didn’t know what to say.

Xia Yourong had never imagined that Jiang Xuan would make such a huge fuss, forcing the homeroom teacher to apologize to Xia Ye.

But what she hadn’t expected even more was that Jiang Xuan was willing to clear Xia Ye’s name by admitting that he was the man in the photo!

Hadn’t he donated so much money to First Middle School just to buy prestige with money?

Wasn’t he afraid that by admitting it, he would tarnish his own image?

Now, her plan was completely ruined!

Just when Xia Ye, on the brink of irreversible doom, was shielded by Jiang Xuan, she instantly became the envy of everyone.

Xia Yourong had taken such a great risk to switch the USB drives to have Xia Ye utterly humiliated in front of everyone, not to have her emerge unscathed and even triumphantly.

Xia Yourong couldn’t help but tremble all over.

She couldn’t understand why everyone was protecting Xia Ye.

Protected by her family, Principal Tian, Brother Yunzhou... and now, even Uncle Jiang!

Was it just because Xia Ye was the legitimate, blood-related heiress of the Xia Family?

Wasn’t that too pragmatic?

And at that moment, the expression on Zhou Yao’s face next to her gave her another shock.

Zhou Yao had always known that the man in the photo should be the same man who picked up Xia Ye from school in an off-brand car, but it was only after Jiang Xuan’s recent statement and a careful observation of his profile that she dared to confirm that the man who frequently appeared beside Xia Ye had always been President Jiang!

Thus, that car couldn’t possibly have been an off-brand one!

Zhou Yao looked doubtfully at Xia Yourong, "The person who came to pick up Xia Ye that day was President Jiang, you couldn’t possibly not recognize him. Yet you deliberately said that Xia Ye came home late and knew dubious people from society. Are you... doing this on purpose?"

With all the strange events linked together today, she felt that Xia Yourong was deliberately misleading her, though she hadn’t figured it all out yet.

Xia Yourong retorted with a particularly aggrieved tone, "Yaoyao, how could you say that about me? It was too dark that day; I just didn’t see clearly."

Zhou Yao suddenly felt like she didn’t know Xiaorong anymore, "Xiaorong, tell me the truth, today’s photo, was it you..."

She hadn’t finished speaking when on the other side, Tang Tianjiao very spiritedly said, "Now that the misunderstanding is cleared, it’s time to find out who tampered with the content of the PPT, right? Teacher Zhao, you were in such a rush to punish Xia Ye, it couldn’t have been... that you switched them?"

"Ridiculous!" Zhao Yuhuan, who had already suffered enough humiliation today, slapped her hand on the back of a chair, "I am a teacher; how could I possibly do such a thing?"

Upon seeing this, Shen Jing appropriately put pressure on Tian Hanwen, "Principal Tian, our President is attending one of your school’s activities for the first time... is this how your school welcomes him?"

Tian Hanwen sweated profusely.

Indeed, welcoming President Jiang with such a farce, and even involving him, was indeed inexcusable...

Pu Meilan also took a stand, "Principal Tian, the material I gave to you was clearly educational material. How could it have changed? I also specifically arranged my time to lecture today. I hope the school can provide an explanation."

After speaking, she patted Xia Ye on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort, knowing the kid had a strong heart, but having been pointed out by so many people must have been hard.

Xia Ye hooked the corner of her lips, returning a rather rogue smile.

The little guy had it tough too.

Zhou Yao saw that the situation was getting more serious, and the school was definitely going to investigate thoroughly. Just as she was about to raise her hand to report what she knew, she never expected that her good deskmate, Xia Yourong, would strike first, using a voice loud enough for almost the entire hall to hear, and looked at her with a face full of sorrow, "Yaoyao, didn’t you promise me that you wouldn’t leak those photos? She’s my sister; how could you hurt her like this?!"
