The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 782: The Century’s Great Reversal

“No one’s around!”

Once more covered up…

To avoid too much harm, everyone else chose to automatically steer clear.

Aside from their group, no one else had slept that night.

Ouyang Jing hadn’t slept either, worrying all night long.

Zhang Yang naturally couldn’t sleep, consumed with guilt the whole night.

Wu Shanshan was even more sleepless, excited all night, imagining countless scenarios, each one leaving her too thrilled to fall asleep.

The principal had naturally not slept a wink, feeling as if he was going to worry his hair off…

The night just passed like that…

Early in the morning, the school entrance was swarmed with people, including both returning students and teachers, as well as numerous media reporters who had completely surrounded it.

The scene could only be described as spectacular!

To prevent non-school personnel from breaking in, in addition to security staff, all male teachers and robust male students were also brought in to help.

It took a Herculean effort to keep the reporters outside.

The assembly was scheduled to start at nine in the morning, but even before eight o’clock, the venue was already packed, with people seated all the way down the aisles and many standing at the back.

Many were whispering in hushed tones with those next to them…

It felt like the venue had never been this lively since the school’s founding.

Everyone was anxiously waiting, with many students looking down at their phones, which on a normal day would be for scrolling through videos or reading novels, but today they were all watching the clock.

And so, time felt exceptionally long that day.

Wu Shanshan had also arrived at the venue early, even finding a particularly conspicuous spot, to ensure a clear view for the upcoming drama.

After a prolonged wait, nine o’clock finally came, and the assembly began…

The principal took the stage first. “Fellow students and parents, I believe you are all aware of the incident with the photographs online. As principal, I am deeply saddened and regretful. I never expected such a deplorable incident to occur under my administration. I hereby offer my sincere apology to everyone.”

Jian Dan, listening to the principal’s official speech from behind, subconsciously felt the urge to rush to the bathroom to vent.

“But rest assured, as the principal, I will handle this matter seriously! I will definitely give you a satisfactory resolution.” First presenting weakness to elicit sympathy, then clarifying his stance to establish his character.

The usual way of handling things!

Since Jian Dan and the others had arrived just in time, Ouyang Jing hadn’t seen them earlier, so now he was like an ant on a hot pan, restless and anxious below the stage.

“I will now ask the male teacher involved in the photographs to come up to the stage—”

Chu Liyuan straightaway took Jian Dan by the hand and walked up.

When the principal saw this, he too was utterly shocked. After all, the parties involved in such an incident should be avoiding each other, yet here they were, not shying away but instead making such a public display?

The crowd below naturally erupted with noise.

“Mr. Zhu, as a teacher, your responsibility is to educate. Yet, surprisingly, you have acted immorally and unethically,” said the principal with a look of regret on his face.

“And you, Jian Dan, as a high-school student, to actively seduce a married man is truly unacceptable. No wonder you left your previous school!”

The principal spoke with passion, his performance absolutely spot-on.

Upon hearing the principal’s words, many in the audience began to condemn the pair.

However, the expressions of the two on stage were far from nervous; they looked more like they were enjoying the show.

“You two had better unhand each other right now. Don’t persist in your delusion. Return to the right path!”

Hearing the principal spout his sermon, Jian Dan cleared his ears, “Uncle, he’s so long-winded!”

Chu Liyuan simply lifted his foot and knocked the microphone in front of the principal down, instantly causing a piercing screech.

Chu Liyuan covered Jian Dan’s ears with his hand, as Jian Dan looked into Chu Liyuan’s eyes.

With just this simple action, the people below were enough to fret over.

“Don’t go too far!” Originally, the principal wanted to say “arrogant,” but to maintain his persona, he instead chose a softer word.

“Too far? Is there something even more excessive you’d like to see?” Jian Dan stood on top of Chu Liyuan’s feet, tiptoeing, and slowly moved towards Uncle’s lips.

Chu Liyuan immediately wrapped his arms around Jian Dan’s waist and met her halfway.

At the moment when their lips touched, the crowd below exploded…
