Chapter 53: Autumn Reckoning p1
=========================
“Why didn’t you listen?” Bei Queting repeated in a murmur.
And she had even hurt her Daidai.
Hearing her light voice, Bei Yan began to feel a genuine fear.
She was really no longer the same Bei Queting from before, no longer the thin and weak Bei Queting who could only be bullied.
Just then, the school teacher walked over. When he saw Bei Yan’s current situation, he frowned and quickly had someone call the school doctor. He wanted to send her to the hospital, but she refused.
Bei Yan’s face was cold, her two arms hanging limply. When she stood up, one of her legs seemed to be broken, and she didn’t dare to put any weight on it.
The dean of students gasped. Bei Yan refused to go to the hospital no matter what. In the end, she had no choice but to take them all to the office.
The group arrived at the dean of students’ office. Now, apart from Bei Yan, the others had almost become regulars. This time, the dean of students couldn’t be bothered to call the parents first. She had the homeroom teacher deal with the onlookers, then her gaze fell on the four girls in front of her, focusing on He Jingsu and Bei Yan.
She knew that Bei Yan had transferred in the middle of the year, and she had also heard a little rumor that Bei Yan and Bei Queting were related.
“You first, why did you fight?”
Bei Queting was about to speak when the dean of students shot her a look. “I want them to say it themselves.”
She knew that Bei Queting had not participated in this fight, so she would naturally not let her take the blame.
“She deserved to be beaten!” Even at this moment, He Jingsu was still full of anger. This person was really so annoying! She had done something wrong and had no intention of repenting!
The dean of students took a deep breath and silently recited in her heart that this child was just like this. She couldn’t get angry, she couldn’t get angry. She had practically watched her grow up, and she knew her temperament very well. She would never hit someone without reason. If she did, then that person must have done something wrong.
“You speak.” Her gaze fell on Bei Yan.
Bei Yan turned her head away, clearly not planning to speak.
The dean of students’ blood pressure began to rise. She felt that she had to apply for more bonuses this year, or get approval for early retirement. Otherwise, it would really not be worth the life she had lost from being so angry!
The two parties were unwilling to speak. The dean of students’ gaze had to fall on Qiu Si on the side, her voice much gentler.
“Junior Qiu, you tell me, why did they fight?”
Qiu Si looked at He Jingsu and the others, then her voice was a little calm. “Because Junior Bei Yan was spreading bad rumors about Little Ting everywhere. That’s why Daidai fought with her.”
The dean of students was silent for a moment, then asked, “What did she say?”
Qiu Si pressed her lips together, and her usually gentle temperament showed a rare hint of disgust toward Bei Yan. “I can’t say it!”
Especially since Bei Queting was right there. If she said it, wouldn’t it be like stabbing her in the back!
Seeing this situation, the dean of students was silent for a moment, then she stood up and went out, leaving them in the office.
After she went out, Bei Yan’s gaze finally fell on Bei Queting and the others. Although she had been a little scared by Bei Queting’s words before, her years of bullying her had given her a lot of support. She felt that Bei Queting wouldn’t dare to really do anything to her.
In the past, she could make her have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. Now, she still could!
“Bei Queting, you tell me, what did I say that was wrong?” A sarcastic smile appeared on her face. Since they all knew they were demons now, she didn’t hide it anymore.
“Do you dare to say that your parents weren’t gone before you were born? You’re just an unwanted bastard!”
“Ah—”
Bei Yan covered her slapped face in disbelief, her gaze on He Jingsu. She hadn’t expected her to dare to hit her in this place!
“If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll cut off your tongue!” He Jingsu’s body was devoid of any dazed and cute aura, her gaze gloomy as she looked at Bei Yan.
She would not allow anyone to hurt her Beibei!
Bei Queting’s face was a little pale, but she still smiled slowly, her gaze cold as she looked at Bei Yan. “Why did I become an unwanted bastard? Do you really not know at all? Do you want me to repeat the disgusting things you did?”
Yes, she didn’t have parents, but she knew that her parents loved her very much. They had just couldn’t live, so they had abandoned her. But the reason they couldn’t live, did Bei Yan really not know at all?
She, this abandoned person, could still know the truth of that year, let alone her, who had more sources of information!
Bei Yan’s face was flustered for a moment, then she forced herself to calm down. “Were we wrong? Your mother was a lunatic, a morally corrupt and promiscuous person! Your father was no good bird either! Maybe they had already hooked up long ago!”
Qiu Si, on the side, held back He Jingsu, who was about to fight again. It wasn’t that she believed Bei Yan’s words. She just felt that if they continued to fight now, and the dean of students came in, it would probably be more serious.
And she didn’t believe a word of what Bei Yan said. No matter what she said, there must be another hidden story behind it.
Bei Queting’s gaze grew colder. “Bei Yan, I used to not believe in natural-born evil, but now I do.”
“You are that natural-born evil.”
Hearing Bei Queting’s words, Bei Yan was furious. Just as she was about to teach Bei Queting a lesson like she used to, the office door was suddenly pushed open. The dean of students walked in with a gloomy face and stood in front of Bei Yan.
“Bei Yan, I’ve already found out. You’ve disappointed me very much.” The dean of students looked at Bei Yan with a disappointed expression. She didn’t understand why, as a member of the same clan, she could have such great malice toward a clan member.
Bei Yan was stunned at her words. She was disappointed in her?
Why was she disappointed in her? What she had said was the truth.
The dean of students took a deep breath. “Bei Yan, given the serious consequences of your actions, I’m sorry, we have decided to expel you.”
Bei Yan’s eyes widened. She looked at her in disbelief, her mouth opening and closing, but she couldn’t hear anything.
Why? Why was it like this?
In the past, no one would have done this to her for Bei Queting. Why were these people treating her like this to protect Bei Queting now? What she had said was not wrong, was it?
The dean of students’ gaze turned to He Jingsu, her tone serious. “No matter what, fighting is not right! This time, you will be given a demerit, and you will be criticized and have to make a self-criticism in front of the whole school during the flag-raising ceremony on Monday!”
She couldn’t let her go on like this anymore. How long had it been, and she had gotten into several such sensational fights in a row?!
“Teacher.” Bei Queting frowned and stood up, wanting to speak for He Jingsu. However, before she could continue, she was interrupted by the dean of students. “This time, it can’t be passed over like this. Otherwise, how can we manage the students?”
Just because they were the children of the school’s largest shareholder, should they be allowed to do as they pleased? Then how could the school convince people with reason?
Bei Queting was silent, then she said, “In that case, then give me a demerit as well, and criticize me. I’ll be with Daidai.”
Daidai had done this for her. How could she abandon her?
He Jingsu wrinkled her nose. Just as she was about to say something, she was stopped by Bei Queting’s look.
“Old…”
“Teacher, since it’s been decided, then we’ll be going out now.” Qiu Si’s words were interrupted by Bei Queting. After the dean of students nodded, she took one person in each hand and pulled them out of the office.
“Little Ting, why didn’t you let me speak!” Qiu Si’s little eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
“There’s no need to add another person. And you didn’t fight, did you?” Bei Queting’s voice was a little light. This matter had nothing to do with Qiu Si in the first place. Why should she have to bear a demerit?
Qiu Si wrinkled her nose. Although she didn’t quite agree with Bei Queting’s words, under her gaze, she still gave up on the idea.
He Jingsu had been very silent since she was pulled out. It was very rare, very rare, especially quiet, completely unlike her.
“Daidai?” Bei Queting shook her hand.
He Jingsu turned to look at Bei Queting, her eyes gradually filling with tears. She bit her lip and didn’t say anything.
From Bei Yan’s attitude today, it was not difficult to see how hard Beibei’s life had been before.
How could her Beibei have had such a hard life? She was her precious treasure.
Seeing her about to cry, Bei Queting’s heart ached. She went up and held her in her arms, holding her very tightly, and said gently, “Daidai, why are you crying?”
It was fine when she didn’t comfort her, but the moment she did, He Jingsu wanted to cry even more. Tears streamed down her face, her nose red, looking pitiful.
“Beibei—” He Jingsu held Bei Queting tightly. “No one is allowed to bully you in the future!”
She would definitely, definitely work hard to become stronger and protect Beibei well!
Hearing her words, Bei Queting was both amused and heartbroken. She nuzzled her chin on her shoulder and said softly, “Ever since I met you, you’ve never let anyone bully me, have you?”
Every time, she was the first to stand up for her. She was clearly older than her, but she was the one who protected her the most.
He Jingsu sniffled, but she still felt that her protection was not enough. She had actually let that Bei Yan hurt Beibei like this!
“Beibei, did she often bully you before?” He Jingsu bit her lip and asked.
Bei Queting was silent for a moment, then she hummed a soft “mhm.”
“When I was taken back by my father’s friend and hatched, my body was congenitally weaker than others. The other children in the clan began to bully me, because even if I fought back, I couldn’t hurt them.”
He Jingsu was so angry that her whole body was tense. How could they do this! Why did they have to bully people!
Qiu Si, on the side, was also stunned to hear this. Then she thought of Bei Yuan, and her eyebrows furrowed. “Is it a trend in your clan to bully people?”
