Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Tan Jing wanted to bite Tan Rou to death, but she couldn’t say anything in front of the principal. She could only admit her defeat. “I understand, principal.”

The results were out, and Tan Rou’s innocence was proven. The principal felt that he should not delay the children’s studies, so he allowed them to return to their classes.

Tan Rou still had Wei Ling’s matter in mind, so she deliberately walked slowly. Tan Jing was in front acting as the White Lotus of glory for the teachers, and Tan Rou was busy thinking about how to tell the principal about Wei Ling.

!!

As the rest walked out of the room, Tan Rou was left behind.

The principal was happily looking at the test paper, thinking that he had not misjudged tan Rou. Not only did she have good grades, but she was also bold. No timid girl would have spoken like she did earlier.

“Sir, are you still in there? I’m looking for you.” Tan Rou knocked on the door.

“Come in.” the principal said, recognizing her voice. “The door isn’t locked.”

When Tan Rou walked into the room, the principal looked at her with a kind smile, which was completely different from the stern look he had when he scolded the rest of the students.

“You’re very brave, kid. If it was someone else, they would probably be too afraid to come,” the principal said.

However, Tan Rou said, “Sir, an upright person is not afraid of a crooked shadow. I won’t admit to what I haven’t done. With the abilities that I have, I am not afraid of her.”

The principal was very satisfied with her answer. “Not bad. Is there anything else that you need?”

Tan Rou drafted a draft in her heart. “Principal, I’m here to talk to you about Wei Ling …”

Before she could say anything, the principal interrupted her. “You don’t have to worry about this. The evidence of Wei Ling cheating in the exam is in front of you. She’ll be expelled for sure. You don’t have to worry.”

“No.” Tan Rou had promised Wei Ling that she would come and plead for mercy, so she would keep her word. Besides, wasn’t it good to have one less enemy?

“Huh? Do you have any other requests?”

“I’m here to plead on Wei Ling’s behalf,” Tan Rou threw out her purpose before the principal interrupted her.

“Why?” The principal did not understand. “Aren’t you the victim?”

“Wei Ling is only the same age as me. After this incident, her parents wanted to send her abroad to fend for herself. I was also sent abroad when I was four, so I know how difficult it is to live abroad.” Tan Rou recalled the past and felt suffocated.

“I’ve never heard of that. You want to plead for her? What would you like us to do for her?” The principal asked.

“I want the school to accept her again and give her another chance. She made a mistake this time, but I believe she will turn over a new leaf.” principal,” Tan Rou pleaded sincerely. “Wei Ling has really realized her mistake. Please give her another chance!”

The principal frowned and finally sighed. “I didn’t judge you wrongly.You are a kind and good child. Even if it was someone else who hurt you, you chose to forgive them. But, the principal paused for a moment. This child is up to no good…”

“Principal, you’ve said it yourself. Wei Ling is still a child. It’s hard for him to live overseas.” Tan Rou tried to reason with him.

“Besides, isn’t there an old saying in our country that a prodigal son can’t be exchanged for gold after he returns? Please give her another chance.”

“Hmmm.” The principal didn’t want to be the bad guy either. “Alright, since you’re the victim, I’ll allow her to return to school. I also hope that she can turn over a new leaf.”

“Thank you, principal!”

“Don’t be happy too soon. Although I’m the principal, there’s already conclusive evidence that she cheated. No matter what, she has to explain herself to the rest of the teachers and students.”

Tan Rou felt that what the principal said made sense, so she suggested to the principal, “Wei Ling did cheat in the exam this time. Her results must have been invalid. If she takes the exam again, I wonder if the school will accept her?”

“That’s a good idea.” The principal also agreed, “Her grades are usually below average. How about this, as long as her total score for this exam reaches the average of her class, we’ll allow her back in school but if she doesn’t, she would have to be expelled.”

“Thank you for giving her a chance, principal.” After getting the approval from the principal, her heart was at ease. Tan Rou still pitied Wei Ling.

Tan Rou didn’t tell Wei Ling the news immediately. She planned on telling her after school, so it was better for Tan Rou to head back to class first. At this point, whether Wei Ling could stay or not was entirely up to her.
