The village beauty and me!

When Zhao Jingjing slowly walked out of the dormitory building, she was also stunned by the scene in front of her.

Teacher Zhang stood to the side with his arms crossed, a mocking smile on his face.

With a hint of schadenfreude, she said, "How about it, Jingjing? Now you see Chen Huan's true colors, right?"

"He said it was his first time at the school, but look how many girls in our school he's fooled."

"Once you see through this fickle radish's true colors, you should stay away from him as soon as possible."

"That's why I'm giving you this advice as your teacher."

"Don't let so-called feelings blind you..."

Teacher Zhang is still here, nagging and trying to persuade me.

The next second, Zhao Jingjing had already squeezed into the crowd and went straight to Chen Huan's side.

To Teacher Zhang's surprise, Zhao Jingjing wasn't angry at all.

Standing next to Chen Huan, he greeted the pretty female students who had come over with a smile.

"This is insane, absolutely insane!"

"What's wrong with society these days? How can people not be angry when they see this kind of situation? How can they even laugh?" Teacher Zhang's worldview was shattered once again.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm hallucinating.

Of course, she had no idea why Zhao Jingjing wasn't angry.

In fact, Miss Zhao recognized at a glance that some of the girls were the ones who had been threatened and coerced by that bad guy.

Therefore, with just a little speculation, we can figure out what they are doing right now.

Since developing a close relationship with Chen Huan, Zhao Jingjing's temper and personality have become much more restrained than before.

She knew very well that a man as outstanding as Chen Huan could never be monopolized by any one woman.

That includes herself, of course.

What Zhao Jingjing hoped for, or what she wanted to prove, was simply that Chen Huan had a place for her in his heart.

I don't expect or demand anything else.

At the same time, it was also to refute Teacher Zhang's self-righteous remarks and to annoy her.

That's why Zhao Jingjing remained calm and composed, always wearing a smile.

  

The girls who came to thank Chen Huan were still reluctant to leave.

Some of the bolder ones offered to treat Chen Huan to a meal at the food court outside the school.

Now that it's the start of the school term, students shouldn't be allowed to go out without permission.

However, these girls all had their own methods and managed to resolve the issue.

Zhao Jingjing, who also wanted to go out with them, was unable to fulfill her wish.

Even though she pleaded and begged with Teacher Zhang, the latter, who was still angry, refused to agree, citing concerns for Zhao Jingjing's safety.

Just when they were at their wits' end, two students suddenly ran over in a panic.

"Teacher Zhang, something terrible has happened!"

"The crabapple tree that our school bought at a high price has completely withered. Now the school is going to investigate and hold those responsible accountable, and they've specifically named you."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhang, who had just been sternly reprimanding Zhao Jingjing, immediately began to tremble.

His face turned pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

He quickly asked, "What did you say?"

"Didn't you only damage a few branches before? How come they suddenly withered? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"That crabapple tree is said to have cost over 100,000 yuan; it's a very rare variety."

"It's related to our students from the start; if something really happens, no one will be happy..."

The students trembled as well, saying, "Who told us to be so unlucky? We were assigned to clear weeds in the garden as soon as school started, and we even got into a fight with students from other classes. We accidentally broke a branch."

"If we really have to pay compensation, we're all poor students, where would we get the money?"

"Teacher, you have to help us."

Teacher Zhang was on the verge of tears, "I want to help, but who will help me?"

"Never mind that for now, let's go check the situation first."

Teacher Zhang hurriedly prepared to leave, but before leaving, she glared at Chen Huan one last time.

Then he pulled Zhao Jingjing along, saying, "Come with me. Although this has nothing to do with you, I can't let you get scammed by some thugs."

And just like that, Zhao Jingjing was forcibly dragged away.

Chen Huan was speechless for a moment. "Who is this person?"

"I caused this mess myself, and now I have to drag the students down with me. Which of us is the scoundrel?"

In this situation, all he could do was appease the pretty female students who had come to express their gratitude, saying, "You all go outside and wait for me. I'll bring Zhao Jingjing to find you in a bit."

Then he hurriedly went to catch up with Teacher Zhang.

Soon we turned past the teaching building and arrived at a small garden in the school.

The school is indeed decorated with a certain elegance, with artificial hills and fountains in the small garden.

In addition, many beautiful flowers, trees and shrubs have been planted and cultivated, giving the place a rather high-class appearance.

At this moment, a considerable number of people had gathered at one of the flower beds in the middle.

Teacher Zhang hurriedly followed the students and pulled Zhao Jingjing outside the crowd.

"Teacher Zhang has arrived," someone called out.

The crowd quickly parted to make way, their faces showing expressions of schadenfreude, with some even looking on with glee.

Chen Huan took this opportunity to go inside as well.

At a glance, you can see a high-end variety of crabapple tree planted in the middle of the flower bed.

At this moment, only a few dry, withered yellow leaves remained on the crabapple tree, while many similar leaves lay fallen on the ground, clearly having just fallen.

That crabapple tree, which should have been in good condition, now looks lifeless and could die at any moment.

Several people who appeared to be school leaders stood nearby, their faces dark with anger.

Upon seeing Teacher Zhang arrive, one of them sneered, "Zhang Biyun, look at the mess you've made."

"You failed to discipline your students properly, ruining this expensive crabapple tree. You and those misbehaving students are fully responsible for this!"

The rest of the people also cast accusing glances at her.

Teacher Zhang's legs went weak, and she almost fainted.

He stammered, "Principal Li, although this tree was accidentally bumped by my student, others were indeed responsible for the conflict that broke out earlier."

"We can't just punish one side now, can we?"

Principal Li snorted again, "The Security Department has already determined the nature of this matter. After investigation, the responsibility lies with you."

"At this point, are you still trying to shirk responsibility?"

"How can someone like you be a role model for students...?"

What followed was a furious outburst, in which he thoroughly berated Teacher Zhang.

Zhao Jingjing, who had been pulled over by Teacher Zhang, was also glared at and scolded.

Faced with the school leaders, Zhao Jingjing had no choice but to suppress her temper, lower her head with a wronged expression, and dare not utter a word.

But at this moment, other people nearby became unhappy.

He walked right over and snapped, "What did you eat that made you so arrogant, daring to insult anyone?"
