Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

Chapter 321 Obedient and Clingy Younger Brother (32)

The director, with his hands behind his back, poked his head out from inside: "When are your parents coming?"

"They're on their way," Teacher He replied, clearly dissatisfied with the outcome, but as a junior teacher, there was nothing she could do.

The school usually announces via loudspeaker which class received the rotating red flag the previous week and which student was disciplined after the fourth period on Monday morning.

When Zhao Jingyi heard Jin Shuhe's name, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Wen Bei.

Wen Bei had just asked her if she knew where Jin Shuhe had gone.

At this moment, his face also showed surprise.

When the broadcast reached Class 14 of the Arts Department, Zhao Jingyi's expression darkened even more upon hearing that Zhang Mingxiang and a few others had also been criticized for fighting.

"How could Shuhe get into a fight? And even if she did, why didn't she call me?" Wen Bei stared wide-eyed.

Zhao Jingyi ignored her. As soon as the bell rang signaling the end of the announcement, she stood up and rushed out like the wind.

I went straight upstairs.

"Could you please call Lin Zhuoran for me?"

After Lin Zhuoran came out, Zhao Jingyi grabbed her and pulled her to the corner of the corridor.

"What happened between Jin Shuhe and Zhang Mingxiang? How did they start fighting? Why didn't you tell me?" Zhao Jingyi asked in a series of questions.

Lin Zhuoran looked extremely dejected, with red and swollen eyes, clearly indicating that he had been crying for a long time.

“Jingyi…”

"What exactly happened! Jin Shuhe isn't the type to clash with people. Was he trying to help you? You're coming with me now to explain to the teacher!"

"Jingyi... I can't go."

"Why can't you say it? The broadcast said Jin Shuhe was disciplined, why don't you go and explain?" Zhao Jingyi was getting anxious.

"Do you know anything about his situation? What... what is it that you can't tell us?"

No matter how much she asked, Lin Zhuoran just kept his head down, tears streaming down his face, without saying a word.

Zhao Jingyi was so angry that she stomped her foot and ran downstairs again.

"Where have you been?" Wen Bei asked, noticing her hurried manner.

"I'm looking for Jin Shuhe, where is he right now?"

"In...the Moral Education Department?" Wen Bei scratched his head.

"Then I'll go over there!"

"Hey! I'll go with you!"

When Zhao Jingyi saw Jin Shuhe and Teacher He standing in the corridor, she hurriedly ran over: "Teacher He!"

"Zhao Jingyi, what brings you two here?"

“Teacher! Jin Shuhe must have gotten into the fight because of Lin Zhuoran from Class 14. I also bear some responsibility for this!” Zhao Jingyi clearly and simply recounted what had happened over the past month.

“We’ve known each other since junior high. She came to me saying she’d been bullied, but she didn’t explain exactly what happened. I went to Jin Shuhe and Wen Bei for help…”

"Why didn't she come to explain?" Wen Bei finally understood what was going on.

"You can go back first. We'll call you over if we need you."

Teacher He nodded, indicating that she understood.

Zhao Jingyi looked at Jin Shuhe with remorse: "I'm sorry."

Jin Shuhe shook his head and asked, "Didn't she say what happened that day?"

"No! No matter how I ask her, she won't tell me!"

Jin Shuhe's expression didn't change much, but his hands inside the sleeves of his school uniform slowly clenched.

"Aren't you and that girl friends?" Wen Bei asked her on the way back.

"Jin Shuhe and I are still friends! Why isn't she going to explain and clarify? What kind of behavior is this?" Zhao Jingyi was furious.

Lu Liruan was eating out when she received the call.

When Lu Liruan heard Teacher He say that Jin Shuhe had been in a fight, her first reaction was, "Did someone bully him?"

Lu Liruan knew exactly what kind of personality that child had.

Without wasting a moment, Lu Liruan hurried to school.

When they arrived at the school gate, Lu Liruan put on a stern face and asked the person next to her, "Do I look serious and unapproachable?"

The person next to her put the car keys in their pocket, turned their head to look at Lu Liruan, suppressed a laugh, and commented: "Don't frown so much, we're not here to fight anyone."

After giving their class and Teacher He's name, the gatekeeper opened the gate and pointed out the location of the Moral Education Office.

Upon reaching the floor, Lu Liruan saw Teacher He and Jin Shuhe and hurried over.

"Xiao He, how are you? Are you alright?" she asked, looking him up and down.

"Um, Sister Jin Shuhe, the fight happened on Saturday, not today," Teacher He explained from the side.

"Saturday?"

When confronted by Sister Li Ruan's questioning gaze, Jin Shuhe silently lowered his head.

"Alright, alright, you've been so anxious the whole way here!" The person who came over walked to Lu Liruan's side and also greeted Teacher He.

Jin Shuhe then noticed that Sister Li Ruan had not come alone.

Accompanying her was a young-looking, slender man wearing a beige casual suit jacket and carrying a camera bag.

"It's like this, it's hard to explain over the phone, let me explain it to you briefly..."

Teacher He told Lu Liruan what she had heard from Jin Shuhe and Zhao Jingyi, and also mentioned the versions from several parents.

“There were clearly more than just a few of them here, so why not bring the girl’s parents here as well? We can confront them face to face!” Lu Liruan said earnestly.

"Sister Li Ruan."

Jin Shuhe tugged at her arm: "I want to talk to you alone for a bit."

Lu Liruan and he went into the washroom, and the two came out a few minutes later.

"What did you say?" The man leaned against the window in a somewhat nonchalant manner.

Lu Liruan waved her hand without saying anything.

"Parents, come in when you arrive!" The director said, sticking his head out with a stern face.

As soon as Lu Liruan entered, several parents looked her up and down.

Lu Liruan went out to dinner with someone today. She wore a cashmere coat over a gray turtleneck sweater, paired with a plaid skirt, and her shoes had cute pom-poms on them, making her look even younger.

"Are you his parent?" Zhang Mingxiang's mother asked.

"Yes, I'm his sister. You can solve anything with me."

"Ha! Your kid's got some nerve. He beat all of us kids pretty badly by himself. How are we going to handle this... We parents strongly demand he be expelled! It's outrageous!"

Perhaps because Lu Liruan looked so young, the parents didn't seem to take her seriously.

"My child is alone, while your children are all ganging up on him, trying to fight him together?" Lu Liruan retorted, "This shouldn't be considered a fight; this is you ganging up to bully my child, trying to beat him up, but you didn't win, did you?"

"you!"

Lu Liruan reversed the nature of the fight with just one sentence.

"You four ganged up on one child, and you wouldn't let him fight back? You parents would only be satisfied if all four of you beat him up together?"

The parents wanted to yell at Lu Liruan, but Lu Liruan only spoke to the director.

"You believe what these kids say, you believe what that girl says, but why don't you believe what our children say? Is it because our family hasn't been suspended or expelled from school a few times, and we've just bribed our way back in?"

"How can you speak to a parent like that?"

“Since we’re here to resolve the conflict, everyone present should come when the fight breaks out. You should also call the girl and her parents.”

Seeing Lu Liruan's firm attitude, the director hesitated for a moment and said, "Fine! What this parent said makes sense."

Almost another hour passed before Lin Zhuoran's mother arrived, looking bewildered. As she entered, she gave Lin Zhuoran, who was dawdling and unwilling, a hard shove: "What are you dawdling for? Why didn't you dawdle when you were causing trouble?"

When Lin Zhuoran entered, he glanced at Jin Shuhe in a panic, then looked at Zhang Mingxiang with a fearful expression, his head almost touching the ground.

"Alright, everyone's here now, can we start talking?" The director clapped his hands.

Teacher He also invited Zhao Jingyi and Wen Bei over.

Zhang Mingxiang's mother couldn't wait to speak first: "Our child isn't even at school anymore, and he specifically came looking for us and then beat us up. What kind of nonsense is this!"

When asked about Lin Zhuoran, she sobbed, "I...I didn't see anything, I just knew they were fighting."

"You!" Zhao Jingyi was so angry that her face turned red, and she loudly repeated what she had just said to Teacher He.

"No..." Lin Zhuoran looked at her in a panic, then at Zhang Mingxiang.

"Why are you crying! Explain yourself!" Lin Zhuoran's mother wouldn't let her hide behind her and pushed her in front of everyone.

"Xiao He, go ahead and tell me."

Lu Liruan sighed.

Jin Shuhe recounted the whole story in detail.

"You're talking nonsense! Our daughter..." Lin Zhuoran's mother was the first to get angry.

"What's it to you? And you parents of girls, can't you stop bothering boys at such a young age?"

Zhang Mingxiang's mother interrupted her loudly.

"Tell me! What exactly happened?" Lin Zhuoran's mother's face turned bright red. She grabbed her daughter and pulled her in front of her, scolding her sharply, "Your grades are bad. Your father and I spend money to send you to school. Instead of studying, what are you doing here!"

Lin Zhuoran was crying so hard she was almost breathless. Lu Liruan felt a little sorry for her, but Jin Shuhe should also not suffer such an injustice.

"Stop arguing, we have evidence," Lu Liruan said to the director.

The director was also in a terrible predicament; he had been dealing with the fact that the parents of those children had come to the school to cause trouble.

Now that they know the family situation of the kids in the science class, they figure even if they suffer a little loss, no one will cause trouble.

He wanted to settle things quickly and handle it hastily, but he didn't expect his sister to arrive so quickly; she was clearly not someone to be trifled with either.

"What evidence?"

Lu Liruan nodded to Jin Shuhe.

Jin Shuhe took out his phone and opened a recording.

"I'm at the school gate now... Come find me..."

"I am afraid……"

Lin Zhuoran's voice came out.

The smug expressions on the children's faces changed instantly; they never expected Jin Shuhe to have such a trick up his sleeve.

After the first segment finished playing, click to start the second segment.

"That little slut..."

"Jin Shuhe, save me!"

The room of the Moral Education Department was completely silent.

"You shut it off! No! No! They forced me to do it! If I didn't do what they said, they would have everyone ignore me and have a few girls in the class bully me!"

Lin Zhuoran suddenly broke down completely, screaming.

"Turn it off! Aaaaaah—"

Her eyes were filled with resentment as she looked at Jin Shuhe: "Why did you do this!"

"Because I also need to protect myself," Jin Shuhe said calmly, looking at her.

"Without evidence, I can't explain myself clearly today. I might be treated unfairly, falsely accused, or suspended from school. It might even affect my college entrance exam. I can't let a moment of impulsiveness ruin my future."

Jin Shuhe accompanied the two girls to the station. After inquiring about the situation of Class 14 and witnessing it firsthand that day, he began to consider this possibility...

She's been bullied for so long, yet she hasn't said a word. How can we expect her to suddenly become a different person and bravely come out to testify after someone helps her?

On that day, when he heard something was off about the voice on the other end of the phone, Jin Shuhe pressed the record button.

He can help, but he also needs to consider his own future and... not cause trouble for Sister Li Ruan.

On Saturday, seeing the director's perfunctory attitude, Jin Shuhe thought the matter was over and didn't bring out the recording.

When Jin Shuhe entered the Moral Education Department today and saw the wicked and unrestrained expressions on the faces of those boys, he still hesitated a little.

Because what they did had no bottom line, and when he listened to what he recorded that day, he found it to be truly appalling.

It's so embarrassing for a girl.

When the director suggested calling Sister Li Ruan over, he did not object.

When he was alone with Sister Li Ruan in the water room, he asked her what to do.

"You can be kind, but kindness doesn't mean being bullied without any limits."

“You did a good deed, and you deserve praise in every way, but you feel so uncomfortable now. This is wrong. You shouldn’t be treated like this. You should be kind, but you should also protect yourself and not get hurt because of your kindness.” Lu Liruan did not hesitate.

"Your help to protect her from harm does not mean you should help her conceal the truth."

After receiving Lu Liruan's affirmation, Jin Shuhe suddenly became more determined in his approach.

If no one tells the truth, then he will prove it himself.

Lin Zhuoran's mother turned pale. She looked at the woman, her lips trembling, and raised her hand to hit her.

"Go ahead and kill me! Just kill me already! I've told you that nobody wants to play with me, nobody likes me, and even the teachers scold me, but you never take it seriously!"

"I didn't want to pay any attention to them! But Zhang Mingxiang forced me to be his girlfriend, otherwise he would bully me every day, and I had no choice! Later, the girls in my class also bullied me, calling me a slut and shameless, and even took off my clothes in the bathroom to take pictures!"

Lin Zhuoran roared at her mother, her thin and frail body concealing endless grievances.

"They sent the photos to Zhang Mingxiang, who showed them to me and told me that if I dared to tell the teacher, tell my parents, or say anything bad about him, he would make sure everyone saw me like that! What's it to you?!"

The director's face also turned grim; this was a serious matter!

"Where is it? Give me the phone!" Lin Zhuoran's mother reached out her hand to ask for it.

Lin Zhuoran threw her phone at her mother; her phone had no password.

Opening the chat history revealed shocking photos that brought tears to Lin Zhuoran's mother's eyes.

"You bunch of little beasts! You animals! You bullied my daughter!"

For a moment, it seemed as if what was happening in the room had nothing to do with Jin Shuhe anymore.

Lu Liruan pulled his hand over and shook it firmly twice to show her approval.
