Chapter 94: Chapter 94
Rong Qingqing’s gaze swept coldly over everyone, "Shen Qiao is as old as you all. You are her classmates, spending day in and day out together. You could say, the time you spend with her is even longer than she spends with her family."
"Classmates are like half-family. Shen Qiao has lost her father, what did you ’half-family’ do to her?"
"Ignoring her is one thing, but can’t you keep your filthy mouths shut? Words can hurt deeper than the coldest winter. You’re in the second year of middle school, don’t you understand what that means?"
"You lack conscience, fine, but you can’t be both without conscience and intellect!"
"Shen Qiao is the daughter of the Shen Family, who are you to bully her?"
"How many of your parents work under the Shen Group? Even if they don’t work directly for the Shen Group, they work at companies cooperating with them, right?"
"Did you forget that the daughter of the Shen Family has the power, with just a word, to drive your families out of their jobs and this city!"
"Shen Qiao is kind, she doesn’t hold grudges. Did you think this meant the daughter of the Shen Family could be bullied at will?"
"Whoever tore up Shen Qiao’s exam paper yesterday, step forward and apologize!"
"And those who spoke ill of Shen Qiao, step forward and apologize as well. If it’s not done by the end of recess, the Shen Family’s lawyers will come to find each one of you!"
"Don’t think the Shen Family can’t handle you because there are many of you! The Shen Family has money, people, and lawyers. None of you can escape this!"
"When you abandon kindness to bully others, you better consider if you have the right to bully the little princess of the Shen Family!"
After Rong Qingqing finished speaking, she crossed her arms and looked down at the entire class.
The students below turned pale.
Though they didn’t know Rong Qingqing, it was clear to everyone that someone had come to back up Shen Qiao.
The person standing on the platform must have some authority within the Shen Family; only then could they burst into the school so aggressively to reprimand them.
Even Duan Ba was held down tight by the bodyguards she brought, unable to even struggle.
At this moment, Shen Qiao looked at Rong Qingqing as if she were gazing at a great hero coming to her rescue.
Shen Qiao never knew that someone could act so brazenly unruly for her sake.
Shen Qiao didn’t care if anyone apologized; what mattered to her was the touch of emotion Rong Qingqing brought her at that moment, making her want to cry.
Rong Qingqing’s patience was wearing thin. Standing on the podium for a few seconds without seeing any movement, her brows furrowed directly.
"What’s wrong? You’re putting on such airs, thinking it over, hoping the Shen Family’s lawyers will come to your homes one by one, is that it?"
Rong Qingqing tapped her fingertip lightly and deliberately on the podium, "I’ll count down from five. After that, the Shen Family’s legal team will arrange meetings with each of you and your parents."
Every word and expression from Rong Qingqing was filled with certainty; she wasn’t joking, nor was she making idle threats. She meant it seriously.
Rong Qingqing had started the countdown.
The young students below were almost in tears from fear.
Finally, someone braced themselves and stood out to be the first to apologize.
"Shen Qiao, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have joined others in isolating you. These days, I’ve been feeling bad too, I’m sorry."
Rong Qingqing raised her eyebrows, "What’s your name?"
"Chen Zhenzhen." The girl bit her lip, her eyes red.
Shen Qiao wasn’t sure when the tears started rolling, perhaps when her best friend stood up to apologize to her, or maybe it started even earlier.
