Standing Next To You

Chapter 21: Cruel Truth

Chapter 21: Cruel Truth

Seeing that Bei Sangyun was silent and a bit timid, the principal smiled understandingly.

"You don't have to worry too much. If your parents aren't around, I'll make an exception and make you decide for yourself here. You guys are two good friends and classmates. Little Miss Xiao'er here is new to the town. How about you conceded for once? It's a good thing to help your friend. It's only right to give in for your friend."

The teacher was shocked. She did not expect that the Principal would coax Bei Sangun into a greeting without taking the latter's feelings into consideration!

Bei Sangyun was stared at by the Principal. She bit her lips.

Despite the aura of the Principal and the pressure of the parents, Bei Sangyun shook her head.

She and that little girl were not friends. So she shook her head decisively.

"I won't agree."

The couple's face changed and scolded her. "This little child is very stubborn and doesn't know what is good for her."

The Principal's smile turned stiff, "Little girl, it's not good to be selfish."

Bei Sangyun was scolded. Her face turned red from shame.

The teacher held Bei Sangyun's hands, "Since Bei Sangyun did not want to agree, then we can only follow the rules. "

Bei Sangyun looked gratefully at the Teacher. Fortunately, the Teacher was kind and understood her.

The Teacher told Bei Sangyun to return to the classroom by herself since she had something to talk with the Principal.

Bei Sangyun glanced at the room before she left. She saw the Principal's darkened expression and become worried.

While the little girl who did not get what she wants threw a tantrum. Her parents coaxed her while they glared at Bei Sangyun.

Bei Sangyun felt uncomfortable by their glare and endure their scolding. She left immediately.

But as she left, she heard the parents coaxed the little girl.

"Don't cry, don't cry. How about we buy you the big doll you saw in the mall last time? I'll make a trip and buy it for you!"

"That's right, don't cry. You will get the seat next time. Do you want Mommy to bake your favorite cake?"

"Why are you so stubborn? What will you get for defending an orphan child? That poor child has no parents and backing. She can't save you after you offend those parents."

"I did not become a teacher to fawn others."

Bei Sangyun sweated.

Did she get the Teacher in trouble?

"Hah. Don't you think I don't know what you are doing? You are trying to curry favor from the Young Master of the Chuan family. Don't give me the good teacher card."

...Fei Chuan?

What has Fei Chuan got to do with this?

"Fei Chuan is just concerned with his friend. He is indeed the one who told me about this matter but I sincerely wanted to help Bei Sangyun. As their homeroom teacher, I have to look out for them."

"If that's what you want to believe, fine. However, as your senior, I will tell you one thing. I know Young Masters like him from big wealthy families did not make friends easily, especially with the people here in the countryside. Don't put all your eggs in that child Bei Sangyun. You won't get the Chuan's young master's favor in that way."

Bei Sangyun: ?!

She backed out from the door in shock.

She did not quite understand their whole conversation, but based on their words, the Teacher was siding with her earlier because it had something to do with Fei Chuan.

"You should be smart and know which child you should take care of." The Principal added.

Their words were so shocking to Bei Sangyun that she did not move for a while.

The two in the room continued talking. But based on the Principal's attitude, he did not seem angry with the Teacher since they were relatives.

The words of adults swirled in Bei Sangyun's mind.

'An orphan and poor child with no backing...'

Those words were like great thunder that ripped apart the world she knew.

It turned out that a child like her with no parents, no relationship with Fei Chuan, and pitifully poor was not worth defending at all.
