Chapter 302 - The Administrative Office of the Institute (2/2)

The smile on Wen Xinya’s lips intensified. “Firstly, Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue barged into my dressing room without my permission when I was changing. As I was afraid of my privacy being violated, I injured them under shock, which counts as self-defense. After that, they initiated attacking me—I also retaliated due to self-defense. May I ask Teacher An where is my mistake?”

Teacher An was momentarily speechless. However, when he thought about his authority being questioned, he still stubbornly said, “They were wrong and I’ll naturally punish them. However, you’ve hit others, which has disrupted order within the Institute—you have to apologize and be punished.”

Wen Xinya said plainly, “Then, may I ask how is Teacher An going to punish them? How does it make sense that they made a mistake first and I have to be punished first?”

“Wen Xinya, this is the administrative office and not the Wen Family—don’t be too arrogant!” Teacher An didn’t expect Wen Xinya to actually be so difficult. Every student of the Institute, upon coming to the administrative office, behaved obediently on his toes and did as they were told for fear of being punished even more severely if they angered Teacher An. Wen Xinya was the only one who ignored his authority and even questioned and argued with him on the spot—totally unreasonable.

However, Wen Xinya was totally unrelenting as she said coldly, “Where does the administrative office belong to?”

“Naturally, the Lan Feng Institute.”

Wen Xinya said aggressively, “Since it’s the administrative office of the Lan Feng Institute, why not deal according to the guidelines for managing students of the Lan Feng Institute?”

Teacher An said with a black face, “I’m handling this incident according to the guidelines of the Institute.”

Wen Xinya stared at Teacher An with electrifying eyes. “Very well, then. The 56th verse of the student management guidelines of the Institute states that if students are found to be fighting and involved in violence in school, to ask for the reasons and, according to the moral sense of the incidents, proceed with a punishment of the appropriate severity. Since my arrival at the administrative office, Teacher An has never asked for the reasons, never made any moral judgments, and wanted to punish me. Which verse of the student management guidelines of the Institute states this kind of procedure?”

Teacher An met her pair of eyes and instantly felt his heart constrict, as if feeling that that pair of eyes emitted electricity—buzz buzz buzz—piercing through and stiffening his body up. Only then did he vaguely realize that this Wen Xinya was different from the other students in the Institute—she was someone that he couldn’t manipulate.

Wen Xinya changed the topic with a slight smile on her lips, looked at Teacher An with a pair of sincere eyes, and said, “May I know how do you, Teacher An, intend to punish Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue?”

Upon hearing what Wen Xinya said, Jiang Yuqian instantly stared agitatedly and angrily at Wen Xinya. “Teacher An obviously said that you were the one at fault and you actually still want to refute with your glib words. However, you’ve miscalculated—Teacher An has always been strict and just in his dealings and means what he says. Do you think Teacher An would cover up for you?”

Xia Ruxue chipped in. “Exactly. Teacher An won’t cover up for a person as evil and vicious as you. You better give up!”

Wen Xinya turned a deaf ear to their ruckus. Her gaze landed on Teacher An.

Teacher An couldn’t help but touch his throbbing forehead. “Cut it. Just now, it was me who didn’t understand the truth of the matter and got subjectively affected by the proof of diagnosis by the first-aid room. Since things are clear now, although Miss Wen didn’t intentionally hurt others, it’s fundamentally wrong to hit others. Thus, you’re punished to cover all medical expenses of Miss Jiang and Miss Xia and to write a reflection of a thousand words. And Miss Jiang and Miss Xia, for initiating the provocation, mitigated by being severely upset, are to write a reflection of a thousand words each.”

Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue didn’t expect things to actually take such a huge turn and stood motionless.

Instead, Wen Xinya gave off a loud sneer and left.
