My Beloved

While Han Luo was resting at the Mo Mansion, back at school the Director of Student Affairs and Han Luo's teacher took it into their hands to deal with the incident. They called the parents of Han Luilui and her friends secretly. After receiving the phone call, the guardians immediately rushed to school. It was only then the teacher called out Han Luilui and her friends. They were acting haughty at first, but seeing their parents, along with Han Sheng Ming, Mo Yuan, and Tang Yujin, made them nervous

"Did something happen?" Han Luilui asked straight away.

"Why don't you tell me?" the teacher responded. "Because I heard that Han Luo stole Ru Susu's pencil yesterday during lunchtime, yet the four of you didn't come to me. Why is that?"

Du Liu and the mother of the girl, whose pencil was stolen, had a tinge of shock in their eyes. The girl's name was Ru Susu. Her mother asked, "Susu, is that true?"

Ru Susu flinched. She started sweating, yet her three friends were still composed. Han Luilui hurriedly interrupted, "Teacher, Han Luo is my cousin and she already said she's sorry."

Du Liu looked around but couldn't find Han Luo. Yesterday, she heard from Han Sheng Ming that Han Luo stayed at the Mo Mansion. She was already irritated as she couldn't barge into the residence to get her. Now, she wasn't present.

"Did she? When?" her teacher interrogated.

"After school. She said that she was sorry for taking the pencil. She also said that she liked it and knew that Susu wouldn't give it to her, so she took it," Han Luilui lied without batting her eyes. She didn't look nervous as she answered confidently and calmly.

The Director of Student Affairs chuckled. "Okay, that's great. So, when did she steal your pencil, Ru Susu?" He looked at the nervous girl. action

"I-I don't know. I think she took it during lunch break when I wasn't looking," Ru Susu answered without thinking.

"The moment the bell rings, little Luo Luo always comes to find us. She wouldn't have time to steal your pencil," Han Sheng Ming defended his cousin.

"T-then she took my pencil before lunch break."

Tang Yujin calmly looked at her. "Little Luo sits right beside the window and you sit in the middle row. Does she have some magical powers to take it from you without moving? Or are you telling me that she walked in front of everyone during class and took the pencil from you? You would've seen her taking it from you then."

Ru Susu's body started to tremble. Her eyes filled with tears and she didn't know what to say or what to think.

Han Luilui couldn't stay silent anymore. She exclaimed, "Xiao Luo must've taken it when Susu went to the washroom! Isn't that right, Susu?"

Ru Susu hurriedly nodded, but she dared not to look at the elders.

Du Liu asked, "What's the meaning of this? If Xiao Luo did something wrong, please punish her accordingly. Why are we here?"

The guardians of Han Luilui's other friends also repeated, "Yes, what are we here for?"

"I have work to do."

"I have to go to the parlor."

The Director of Student Affairs declared, "It's because your apparently intelligent daughters falsely accused Han Luo of an act she didn't commit. And then, after class, they ganged up and abused her both physically and mentally. She is badly wounded on the outside and I'm sure on the inside too. Now, she has a fever and can't even get out of bed. Your lovely daughters almost ruined the reputation of our renowned school. That's why you are all called here."

Du Liu tensed up. "What did you say?!" The other guardians were as alarmed as her.

Han Luilui's friends knew that it was game over. Their faces were as pale as paper. Han Luilui still tried her best to defend herself, "That's not true, sir. We didn't bully her. She fell on her own."

The Director of Student Affairs coldly questioned, "You missed the part where you framed her, Han Luilui."

"What are you talking about, teacher?! We could never do such a thing! She must've lied." Han Luilui denied sternly. Her friends nodded with her.

"All I hear is you girls saying might have this and might have that. Let me tell you this: Han Luo might've lied but the surveillance camera cannot lie. And it never does lie." The Director of Student Affairs turned on the computer. Everyone in the room saw that Ru Susu passed the pencil to Han Luilui and Han Luilui put the pencil in Han Luo's bag. The timing was perfect – Han Luo had just left the classroom. Then they showed how the four girls acted in the classroom and how everyone avoided Han Luo. They also saw how Han Luilui and her friends ganged up and hurt Han Luo. Their nasty words made Han Luo cry. Han Luo was then taken to the nursery and they saw how badly she was hurt. They heard her testimony. She didn't lie.

Han Luilui and her friends were speechless. They were so scared that their eyes turned red, out of both sorrow and fear. But the teacher of the Director didn't show any sympathy.

The Director proclaimed, "Our school is known for discipline and manners. In spite of the school getting donations every year, the school never owes a favor to anyone and always chooses the righteous path to justice. This is the first time in my career I have seen something so vicious and despicable. I do not have a single clue as to why you four girls dislike Han Luo. In fact, it is clear to me that she has never done anything wrong. Obviously, she is also a good student and undoubtedly the perfect role model. I do not care what your family members teach you. I do not care about your family disputes. But you dared harm one of my good students under my watch, hence I cannot let this go easily. As you are also my students, I have every right to punish you."

The four girls flinched as Han Luilui looked at her mother. Du Liu's heart cried for her daughter. She declared, "Hold on, Director. They are still kids and made a mistake... we… uh – as their elders, w-we will teach them what's right and wrong. Please don't give them any punishment, please. Leave them be for this once."

The other guardians were quick to agree. "Y-yes, Director, they made a mistake.. We will make sure our children apologize to that kid. Everything will be fine!"
