Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 159 - 96 Pleasant to the Eye

Shu Wan was naturally equipped with an aura that compelled belief, as if whatever she said was an undeniable fact.

At that moment, seeing Shu Wan demanding a medical examination for Director Wang with righteous indignation, the headmaster subconsciously felt a pang of panic.

In truth, they all knew that the incident where Fu Yang hit someone could be considered major or minor, but it was Director Wang who had started it by hitting Fu Yang first.

When Fu Yang retaliated by throwing an exam paper at Director Wang, it only resulted in a nosebleed and there were no further conflicts; now, they feared that a medical examination might not reveal anything substantial.

Why had things escalated to this extent? Primarily because Director Wang came from an influential background, was accustomed to being treated with deference, and could not tolerate a student humiliating him in public.

Under Shu Wan’s cold gaze, sweat beads formed on the headmaster’s forehead.

When he looked towards Director Wang, he found that Director Wang also wore indignation on his face, "Is there no law left? You dragged me here from the hospital; I want to call the police!"

Shu Wan turned her head and coldly stared at the screeching Director Wang.

She had once commanded three armies, knew well how to suppress many troublemakers and dissenters, and under her formidable gaze, Director Wang’s voice gradually weakened.

"You, come here." Shu Wan summoned a servant, turned on the video recording on her phone, handed it to him, "Stand here and record."

Then, Shu Wan looked toward the hospital staff, "Since he claims he was hurt, then you should examine him one by one, and we will wait here."

Saying this, Shu Wan found a chair to sit down and gestured for Fu Yang to come sit as well.

Fu Yang glanced at the headmaster and Director Wang, both pale-faced, a faint smile curling up at the corner of his lips, and without quarreling with Shu Wan as he usually might, he simply sat down beside her.

Shu Wan wore a long gown, serene and elegant, and Fu Yang dressed in trendy, avant-garde fashion; the two presented completely contrasting styles yet somehow appeared unexpectedly harmonious together.

While Shu Wan sat calmly, Director Wang and the headmaster were far from calm.

Director Wang was adamant about not following the hospital staff for a medical examination, and the headmaster, facing such a tough parent as Shu Wan, was at a loss.

He gestured to a subordinate with his eyes, "Let the students go back first."

"Yes."

As the students reluctantly left the plaza, the headmaster then walked up to Director Wang, dusting off his sleeve, "Director Wang, what should we do now?"

"Are they your students, and you’re asking me?" Director Wang was extremely irritated.

With his sensitive status and the video recording Shu Wan had initiated, he hardly dared to speak.

"Otherwise, let’s compromise for now," the headmaster quickly thought of a solution, "Let this crowd leave first. We can’t do anything under such scrutiny."

"Okay," Director Wang nodded, "You do it."

"Alright."

When the headmaster returned to Shu Wan, his expression had changed.

He smiled kindly, "I just spoke to Director Wang, who said he indeed doesn’t feel unwell and moreover, he shouldn’t be petty with a child."

Shu Wan raised her head and glanced lightly at the headmaster, "So?"

"Regarding cheating, as there’s no evidence for now, we won’t deal with it. As for intentional harm, since Director Wang isn’t pursuing it, we should let it go. The middle school exams are in a couple of days; you should go back and prepare thoroughly without letting this affect your mental state."

Saying that, the headmaster called over his subordinates, "Come, escort this parent home."

However, Shu Wan hadn’t moved an inch; a slight smile played on her lips that didn’t reach her eyes, "When you convicted my son without any evidence, there was no room for discussion between us."

Shu Wan looked at the headmaster, her gaze serenely heavy, pressing down so intensely that the headmaster couldn’t utter a word.

"I am here to set the record straight, not to debate it with you."

As Shu Wan finished speaking, she turned to the waiting servant, "Take him for an examination; I’ll wait here."

"Yes."

The servant respectfully responded, then firmly grasped Director Wang’s arm, half pulling and half carrying him away.

With Director Wang taken away, the headmaster really didn’t want to face Shu Wan alone; she made him feel tremendously oppressed.

He wanted to leave, but Shu Wan had no intention of letting him go, "If you insist on leaving, I might not be able to resist sharing something about the incident on the third floor of the teaching block with others, then."

Others didn’t understand what Shu Wan was referring to, but as soon as the headmaster heard the mention of that place, his eyes widened, "What did you say?"

"Don’t you know what I’m talking about?" Shu Wan looked at the headmaster, "So, I suggest you stay here and wait."

Forewarned is forearmed; before coming here, Shu Wan had asked Qin Lv to investigate everything about the headmaster.

The headmaster didn’t know how much Shu Wan knew about him, but the name she had mentioned truly startled him.

Now that Shu Wan wanted him to stay, he dared not leave; he simply found a chair to sit down beside her and wait. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

As time passed, the principal’s expression became increasingly ugly, until a subordinate came over and spoke to him, making the principal completely unable to hide his frustration.

"What?! Who leaked the news?"

"It’s the media, Shu Wan and Lin Yang have been quite popular online recently, and some media outlets have picked up on that to publish stories."

"Damn."

The principal thought to himself that it was bad. Now that things had turned out this way, it would probably be difficult to settle things down if it blew up online.

At this moment online, paparazzi had somehow found some students to interview, and even posted a clip of the principal’s speech from this morning.

In the interviews, students repeatedly claimed they had seen Fu Yang cheating during the exam, and the principal’s announcement at the school assembly of Fu Yang’s expulsion further confirmed that claim.

[I knew it, how could students have so much free time not only to update short videos and photos but also to cosplay as the Fox King? They’re clearly focused on playing, how could they concentrate on studying without cheating.]

[Just look at his face, you can tell he’s not great at studying, and his character is so poor, cheating too, disgusting, just like his stepmother’s awful character.]

[Shu Wan is really something, having no idea about her own abilities going to take the college entrance exam, and the stepson she brought cheats in exams too. Did Shu Wan possibly cheat in her own exams too?]

While netizens were heatedly discussing this, an insider revealed that Shu Wan was currently making a scene at the school, forcefully pressuring the school to acknowledge that Fu Yang had done nothing wrong.

This revelation changed everyone’s attitude from amused spectators to angry critics.

Have never seen such an unreasonable parent! Clearly, their own child did something wrong, yet they’re forcing the school to admit they were wrong.

Suddenly, countless people supported the school and demanded that they deal sternly with Fu Yang and Shu Wan.

However, around noon, the official school Weibo account issued a statement.

"After investigation, our student Lin Yang is not guilty of exam cheating or intentional harm. Thank you for your concern."

This brief statement not only failed to quell everyone’s anger but confirmed the rumors of Shu Wan causing trouble at the school without reason, further fueling the anger toward Shu Wan.

[No way? Don’t you find it funny to issue such a statement? A person who’s normally the worst suddenly scores the highest in the city, don’t be too ridiculous.]

[Is the school so spineless? Just caved to threats? What are you afraid of? Netizens are your backup, immediately expel Lin Yang, and that Shu Wan needs to leave the entertainment circle quickly.]

Just as everyone was furious, the number of comments denouncing the school surged by tens of thousands.

At that moment, everyone suddenly noticed a comment from Shu Wan in the comment section.

Shu Wan: "Since you’ve issued a statement, include the evidence as well."

Beneath Shu Wan’s comment was a long image.

The long image was meticulously detailed, listing everything that happened after Fu Yang took the exam, including ten hospital reports on Director Wang’s examination.

The examination showed that he had no new injuries on his body, and the rumor online about Fu Yang beating a teacher was completely false.

Shu Wan’s evidence was actually quite convincing compared to the baseless rumors online.

But everyone had a preconceived bias against Shu Wan and Fu Yang, and Fu Yang’s improbably huge leap from the last to the first place made it impossible for anyone to believe.

Inside the school, after the principal issued the statement and saw the comments supporting the school, he finally looked a bit relieved.

He concealed the joy in his eyes, raised his head, and looked at Shu Wan, "The statement has been issued, are you satisfied now?"

"That’ll do, let’s process the withdrawal now," Shu Wan stood up.

"Withdrawal?" The principal was stunned, not understanding Shu Wan’s meaning, "Are you withdrawing?"

The principal couldn’t understand; to him, it seemed like all their effort was just to stay at the school, yet now they were voluntarily withdrawing.

"Why stay in a school that lacks teaching ethics and can’t distinguish right from wrong?" Shu Wan said bluntly.

"Don’t push it too far," perhaps emboldened by the online sentiment, the principal no longer felt the previous guilt, "The middle school exams are approaching, who would accept you after you withdraw?"

"That’s not your concern anymore. Just process the withdrawal."

"Fine, this is what you requested, just don’t regret it later." It was good news for the school that Fu Yang was willing to withdraw voluntarily.

The withdrawal process was completed quickly, and soon after, Shu Wan left the school with Fu Yang.

From the moment Shu Wan arrived at the school, Fu Yang had been silent until now, when they were sitting in the car, he finally spoke up, "Why did you come?"

"I’m your guardian, who else would come if not me?" Shu Wan said matter-of-factly.

Fu Yang’s eyes paused slightly, "Do you believe I didn’t cheat?"

"Who else would I believe if not you? Strangers?" Shu Wan retorted.

Hearing the word "strangers," Fu Yang’s eyebrows slightly raised, and soon his lips curled up, a smile appearing in his eyes, "Huh, never realized before that you could be agreeable sometimes."
