The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 1668: Family? Friendship? Or Love? (10)
Zheng Jiaojiao initially planned to back down and show weakness to let the situation pass since things weren’t in her favor, but upon hearing these words now, her eyes were practically ablaze.
Yet when she looked up again and saw everyone in the office siding with Ruan Jiaojiao, she forced herself to swallow the surge of anger in her chest.
"Student Zheng?" The department head looked at Zheng Jiaojiao.
Zheng Jiaojiao was furious and naturally unwilling. Who the hell was Ruan Jiaojiao! As if apologizing wasn’t enough, she even had to write a public apology letter and post it on the bulletin board. How could she survive at school after that?!!
But she understood that the situation was against her, and since her uncle had gone on a business trip a few days ago, she had no choice but to bottle up her anger, clench her fists, and nod embarrassedly when the department head looked over.
She walked up to Ruan Jie and, as if suffering a great humiliation, apologetically murmured, "Instructor Ruan, I’m sorry."
"You should apologize to your classmate," said Ruan Jie.
Zheng Jiaojiao had no choice but to continue apologizing begrudgingly to Ruan Jiaojiao, "Ruan Jiaojiao, I’m sorry!"
The apology was spoken with such hardness that Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t sense any remorse from her attitude, only hatred.
However, before she could say anything, Zheng Jiaojiao turned and ran off after apologizing, not even offering a goodbye. The department head called out to her, but she only ran faster.
The department head’s face was very displeased at this.
Whereas he previously believed only seventy percent of what Ruan Jiaojiao and the others said, he now believed a full hundred percent.
Compared to Zheng Jiaojiao, Ruan Jiaojiao was clearly much more polite. After Zheng Jiaojiao ran off, she neither pursued nor continued to press the matter, showing great magnanimity.
The young girl had already been accepted to Qing University at such a young age, definitely outstanding, and more importantly, she was understanding despite her young age.
As a teacher and a department head, he naturally knew that character could far outweigh academic performance at times, so he was very amicable towards Ruan Jiaojiao, and his previously harsh expression softened due to Zheng Jiaojiao’s recent behavior.
"Student Ruan is so gracious, it makes me very happy. It’s getting late now, so everyone should go rest. I will continue following up on this matter tomorrow, don’t worry," he said warmly.
As for this follow-up, he naturally referred to having Zheng Jiaojiao write an apology letter and post it on the bulletin board.
"Okay, thank you, Director. We’ll be leaving now; you should rest early too," Ruan Jiaojiao nodded respectfully.
The department head developed even more affection for her due to her respectful words and concern.
He nodded to her before turning to apologize to the thirteen instructors. At this point, the instructors also showed magnanimity, as if the earlier scene of all of them coming to support Ruan Jiaojiao never happened.
When the matter was resolved and they left the office, it was already half past nine at night. The dormitories closed at nine forty and the lights went out at ten.
On the way back to the dorm, among the dozen or so people, including the thirteen instructors, even though the instructors weren’t as strict as they were during the day, Wu Huan, Li Que, and the others didn’t dare to be too unrestrained, so the walk back was very quiet, with only Ruan Jiaojiao’s mouth curving into a cheerful smile.
Ruan Jie, seeing how happy Ruan Jiaojiao looked, felt his heart soften, and couldn’t help but reach out to rub her little head, praising, "Our sweet girl is amazing, she can even protect her brother now."
