Chapter 153: Slapping in the Face very Loudly Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Mrs. Zhu’s question and the students’ hostility made Ye Ying’s face turn pale in an instant. In the school, because of Ye Zhifan, the teachers would more or less take care of Ye Ying. And thanks to her good academic performance, the teachers were very lenient with her. When they had to criticize Ye Ying, they would praise her in advance so that she would know that the teachers were still on her side. As time went by, Ye Ying started to get confused on how she should treat teachers. She had gotten used to the teachers standing up for her and criticizing other people, rather than the other way around. Now that she was being questioned by Mrs. Zhu, which was something she had never experienced before, all she could think of was to uphold her dignity. She pretended to be calm by raising her chin stubbornly. She argued irrationally in a trembling voice, “Mrs. Zhu, what do I have to explain? My only mistake was that I didn’t inform anyone before I left the farm.” “That is my explanation! Believe it or not; it’s up to you.” said Ye Ying. Tears started to swell up in her eyes. She looked at Mrs. Zhu as if she had been wronged. She was hoping that the teachers could be on her side, just like the teachers in the township middle school. The students loathed her reaction. How could she be like this? Not only did she deny her mistakes, but also she felt she had been wronged. Some students shot Ye Jian a pitying look. It must be rough for her to handle someone like Ye Ying. “How could she be so shameless?!” “Ha, the look on her face suggests that she won’t change anything about herself.” “I feel so sorry for Ye Jian. What has she done to deserve such a bad classmate?!” Since the teachers were here, the well-behaved students were whispering among themselves to express their disapproval of Ye Ying. No matter how low their voices were, Ye Jian could still hear them. As she heard what they said, she gave a faintly discernible smile. From the look in their eyes, the teachers and the students were questioning Ye Ying’s character. And Ye Jian was no stranger to that kind of a look. She had the impulse to laugh. ‘What goes around comes around.’ What Ye Ying was encountering at the moment was what Ye Jian went through in the old days. The difference was that Ye Jian was wronged, whereas Ye Ying was suffering on her own account. Mrs. Zhu was so furious that her heart ached. Is Ye Ying a student? She acted as if the teachers should enshrine her! However, as a teacher with sublime professional ethics, she didn’t embarrass Ye Ying in front of all the students. Instead, she said to Ye Jian and the other students, “You haven’t had breakfast yet because you were helping to find her. It’s only a few minutes after seven o’clock, so go back to have breakfast. I will handle the issue here.” Mrs. Zhu noticed the odd look in the students’ eyes. She sighed and said, “No one is perfect. Just go.” Educators should impart knowledge as well as enlighten their students. Even when Mrs. Zhu was questioning Ye Ying’s character, she did not forget to defend the student who had made mistakes. As a teacher, not only did she impart knowledge to her students, but also, she was teaching them how to conduct themselves as humans. And this was the difference between Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Ke. In this lifetime, it was fortunate for Ye Ying to encounter Mrs. Zhu. In the past life, it was unfortunate for Ye Jian to encounter Mrs. Ke! The two girls who stayed with Ye Jian last night stared at Ye Ying with a hostile look. They walked out from the group of students and said to Ye Jian, “Ignore that villain!”
