My Beloved

Chapter 51 - YOU DARE TO HUMILIATE ME

The Director of Student Affairs declared, "Madams, if it were that easy to be in my position, I wouldn't have been hired and you maybe would be in my position. And you, madam," he looked at Du Liu, "you said that your daughter made a simple mistake and that you will teach her what's right and what's wrong. Then please tell me why Han Luilui and her younger sister bully Han Luo at home."

Du Liu clenched her teeth. "What are you on about?"

"I heard this from your son. He won't lie, right? Then I must inform Mr. Han. Did you forget to teach your daughters what is right from wrong?" The Director then sighed before continuing, "Han Luo lost her parents at such a young age and she is living with you. As her auntie, don't you feel a little sympathy for her? I had never imagined that the Lady of the Han Family was so heartless." The Director of Student Affairs was a very well-respected person. His father was the founder of a large company in China, and his big brother and second brother were running the company. He was a scholar known for his disciplined lifestyle. No one dared talk back to him. Until today.

His cold words were like a slap against Du Liu's face. Du Liu's face seared red in embarrassment. She didn't think her beloved son would sell her off.

The teacher added, "I know being a parent isn't easy. And I know we must love our children, but to think that you would pamper them till they become so stubborn and spoilt – that is indeed beyond my imagination. After seeing how they treated a good girl, it makes me wonder if they were ever taught anything. I'm ashamed that I couldn't teach them how to have empathy. I don't know what you think as their mothers."

"Whatever happened, happened. So, what – the girl was bullied – and what now? It's not like she's dead or anything. Can't she take one small bully?" One of the women haughtily sneered. She was the mother of the pampered girl who slapped Han Luo.

The Director of Student Affairs stared at the guardian for a while before taking a deep breath. He replied, "Madam, with all due respect, that girl's name is Han Luo. She is one of our best students. Parentless child or not, how could you be so cruel to a six year old innocent child? No wonder your daughter has grown up to be like you. I guess an apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

That woman's face turned red out of shame and rage. She screamed, "What did you say? You dare humiliate me! I'll contact the authorities for such an insult to the guardian-"

"Do whatever you wish," the Director of Student Affairs curtly and sharply replied. "Just so you know, if you make it something huge, we will call the police. Your daughter and her friends would then be taken to a juvenile detention center. They will be taken care of strictly and you won't see them before they learn how to behave. You cannot bring them back unless we allow you to, no matter how powerful you are."

"That's…!" That guardian couldn't speak anymore.

The teacher spoke, "I hope you madams know how strict our school rules and regulations are. That's why no students dare to break the rules. Even their guardians don't allow them to do such a thing."

The Director of Student Affairs added, "Anyhow, for their disgraceful behavior, I'll suspend them for a month. If it was only for framing, I would suspend them for a week. But, unfortunately, they ganged up like some Mafia, thanks to their inept parental teachings. They will also be required to write an apology letter which will be signed by their parents in front of me. In addition to this, they will have to apologize to Han Luo in front of everyone, seeing that they framed her in front of the whole class. During this next month, I expect the four girls to reflect on their actions. As parents, it would be favorable if you also reflect on how you disciplined your children up until now. A month later, they will meet with the Principal."

He put down four applications with Han Luiui, Ru Susu, and the other two students' names on it. He stood up and proclaimed, "If you still think you can outsmart me or the school policy, we are prepared to call the police and the newspapers. It will give you all the attention you want."

The Director was making it clear that if the four girls wanted to ruin their families' and companies' reputations, they can do that whenever they wanted. The choice was theirs to make. He knew that these families owned big companies and if their reputation was ruined, their stocks would go down as well. No sane company head would want that.

As he turned to leave, Ru Susu couldn't stay silent. "Teacher, it's all Luilui's fault. She's always jealous of Han Luo. She planned everything and then told us. I didn't want to do it at first, but she kept telling me to do it. She said nothing will happen to me as long as I follow her plan!"

Han Luilui gaped at her as her eyes widened. She didn't think her friend would betray her.

The other two girls nodded in agreement. "Susu is right, teacher. It was not our plan. Luilui planned everything because she hates Han Luo. Luilui couldn't stand her beauty. At first, we didn't dislike Han Luo, but Luilui told us how Han Luo stole her father and brother and broke their whole family. Luilui always talked badly about her. She made us hate Han Luo."

The teacher frowned. "It was you three who chose to follow Han Luilui and hate Han Luo. Don't blame others for something you decided to do."

Han Luilui exclaimed, "It's not me! Don't blame me! They are the ones who plotted everything because they hate Han Luo! How could I hate my cousin?!" Since her so-called friends didn't take her side, Han Luilui had no reason to help them either.

The Director of Student Affairs glared at Han Luilui and then Du Liu. He clicked his tongue.. "Disgraceful."
