Chapter 414 - Confrontation
Sun Lei?
Qiao Nan was certain that in her previous life and current life, she did not know this boy by the name Sun Lei from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China.
“O-of course there is.” Sun Lei’s face turned bright red. “Are you too shy to admit? L-let’s talk in another place?”
“There is no need to change to another place and there’s nothing for me to admit. I really didn’t write any letters to you. I don’t know you at all. I find it ridiculous that you claimed that I am your girlfriend. I am in my first year of high school. I don’t intend to go into a relationship.” If they changed to another place to talk, she might be unable to clear her name.
“You… you are talking nonsense. How could you play with my feelings? I am serious about you. I have thought it through. After we finish the college entrance examination, I want to marry you. I am so serious about you. How could you tell lies?” Qiao Nan was full of grievances, and Sun Lei felt he had been wronged, his eyes turning red.
“Who are you?” Zhu Baoguo happened to come at this time.
When he heard the boy said that he was Qiao Nan’s boyfriend and that he wanted to marry Qiao Nan, Zhu Baoguo felt a ball of anger building inside him and without another word, he threw a fist at Sun Lei’s face.
“Don’t fight! Hey, I said don’t fight!”
Zhu Baoguo gave Sun Lei a vicious punch.
Sun Lei was a student from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, and Zhu Baoguo was a student from Ping Cheng High School. It was not appropriate for two students to fight, especially if it was about an affair.
The guards hurried forward to pull them apart. One stood in front of Sun Lei, while the other pulled at Zhu Baoguo. “Calm down! Things have not been clarified yet. Hurry up and call the principal!”
Upon receiving the call, the principal immediately ordered the people concerned to go to his office.
But when the principal saw Qiao Nan, he was worried and, at the same time, angry. “Qiao Nan, it’s you again…”
“What do you mean by that? Did Xiao Qiao create all these troubles? She is helpless as well. She is too unlucky that others like to provoke her!” Zhu Baoguo, who started the fight, was angry that Xiao Qiao was innocent and yet she was dragged into the incident. It was this madman who came looking for her! Xiao Qiao did not know him at all!
“Tell me what is going on.” The principal looked at Zhu Baoguo helplessly. It was undeniable that Zhu Baoguo was telling the truth.
“Can ladies go first?” Qiao Nan asked calmly. She did not look at Zhu Baoguo. Instead, she looked at Sun Lei.
Sun Lei was unwilling to let her go first. He was afraid that Qiao Nan would badmouth him in front of the principal and tell lies. He had finally understood that he was fooled by Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan was a good student, and so was he. He was a student from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China.
He was not afraid of danger and came looking for Qiao Nan as he loved and yearned for her. They had agreed to meet at her school, but Qiao Nan refused to acknowledge him. She might have good results, but she did not have a good moral character.
However, Qiao Nan appeared to be very calm. Sun Lei had no choice but to agree with her request.
When Sun Lei realized, he was angry at his foolish act.
Sun Lei comforted himself that it did not matter that Qiao Nan went first. No matter what lies Qiao Nan spun, he would expose her right in front of the principal of Ping Cheng High School.
“Principal, this boy, Sun Lei, came to our school today and said that he is looking for his girlfriend. He claimed that I am his girlfriend and that we communicated through letters for three months. But strangely, when he saw me, it took him more than a minute to recognize that I am Qiao Nan. The guards and several other seniors who were at the entrance can testify. Sun Lei, is that what happened?”
The principal relaxed slightly. It seemed that it had nothing to do with Qiao Nan.
“It’s normal that I don’t know you. We are pen pals. I have only seen photos of you when you were younger, but I still managed to recognize you in the end.” Seeing that the principal nodded at Qiao Nan’s words, Sun Lei was angry. The principal was biased. It was unfair!
“Principal, all I said is true. Qiao Nan wrote to me, and in the letters, she promised to be my girlfriend. I keep each of the letters. I can show them to you. I could recognize Qiao Nan because she has sent her photos with the letters.”
Sun Lei sounded very sure and detailed. The principal began to have doubts. He was not sure if he should continue to investigate. If it turned out that…
“You said you have the letters with you? That would be great. We can take a look at the letters. But let me ask you. You are a student from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, while I am a student from Ping Cheng High School. How do you know me?” Qiao Nan smiled. She feared that it was all empty talk, especially since Sun Lei seemed to be very sure of himself. “I have never been to The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, and it seems like you have never been to Ping Cheng High School as well.”
As long as there was evidence, she could prove that she was innocent.
“Don’t try to shirk responsibility! Not only do I have physical evidence, but I also have a witness!” Sun Lei said angrily. He had taken a punch from Zhu Baoguo just now and it was burning in pain. “You have not been to The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, and this is my first time at Ping Cheng High School, but your elder sister is in the same school as me. Your sister introduced us to each other. She said that you regretted choosing Ping Cheng High School and wanted to know people from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. She thought that I am a good choice and so she introduced you to me. We both started to be pen pals then.”
When Sun Lei said that Qiao Nan regretted choosing Ping Cheng High School, the principal’s expression darkened.
“Hehehehe…” Qiao Nan had a fake smile on her face. Initially, she was exasperated at the mess that she was in, but she finally knew what happened when Sun Lei mentioned Qiao Zijin. “Principal, there wasn’t such a thing. I honestly don’t know Sun Lei, and I never said all those things to my sister. The teachers and principal at Ping Cheng High School are very good to me and my grades have always been better than those of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China’s students. I can’t figure out why I would regret my choice. Sun Lei, say no more. Didn’t you say that you have the letters with you? Principal, can you call my form teacher over and get my assignments as well? We can do a comparison.”
It was a waste of time and effort to do any more explanation.
Qiao Zijin might be able to spin tales easily, but she did not believe that she could imitate her handwriting.
The principal frowned. “Qiao Nan, are you sure?” Once the matter was blown up, they would not be able to cover it up. Qiao Nan could not back out anymore.
