Chapter 173: Punishment!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
What else do you have to say?
Mrs. Qin instinctively opened her mouth and wanted to continue speaking up for Qin Lu. However, she realized that she was at a loss for words and could not speak.
Mr. Qin’s face tensed up. He clenched his fists tightly and suddenly turned to look at the police officer. “Mr. Policeman, Lulu uploaded her own photo. Under such circumstances, the sentence shouldn’t be very severe, right?”
Jing Fei felt a little regretful. “Although this situation is very bad, it actually did not cause any substantial harm. Hence, we can only hold her in custody.”
Mr. Qin immediately said, “We will find a lawyer and request for bail.”
Jing Fei sighed. “Alright.”
Mr. Qin turned to look at the principal and said, “Principal, Lulu is, after all, a student of your school. I think you won’t want such an ugly thing to get out and embarrass the school, right?”
The principal frowned. “But the school will punish Qin Lu! Her actions are too evil, and they severely affected Qin Shuang. We must punish her!”
He would put it on file...
If the school were to put this on her file, it would affect Qin Lu’s life.
However, having made so many mistakes already, Mr. Qin would no longer plead for her.
Mr. Qin nodded. “I have no objections.”
Hearing this, the principal continued, “Student Qin Lu’s true nature is hidden too deeply. One really can’t tell that she is actually such a person. When you bring her home, you as parents must also teach her a good lesson! The college entrance examination is coming soon and the school will not expel her at this time. This is already the greatest mercy we could give her!”
“I know.” After saying that, Mr. Qin turned to look at Jing Fei. “Officer, this matter really involves reputation. Can the police not expose this matter?”
Jing Fei glanced at Xue Xi.
That photo was recognized on the internet as Qin Shuang’s, and Jing Fei had already checked that the other photos were all fake.
These children were only 18 years old. If the truth was exposed, Qin Shuang would also be implicated and the matter would ferment further.
After pondering for a moment, Jing Fei said, “All the photos on the Internet are fake. That school did not take any photos at all. Everyone was just imagining things!”
After Mr. and Mrs. Qin settled this, the two of them turned to look at Qin Shuang.
Mrs. Qin’s lips trembled as though she wanted to apologize, but she realized that she had apologized to her daughter too many times recently.
She did not even know what to say now that she had to apologize again.
Mr. Qin sighed deeply. “Xiao Shuang, come home with us.”
Qin Shuang looked at the two of them.
Ever since she was young, she had always been envious of Qin Lu, who had received the most attention and love from her parents, but at this moment, she had completely extinguished the envy in her heart.
She shook her head. “No.”
This single word made one feel aggrieved and disheartened.
Mr. Qin opened his mouth but could not speak. In the end, he could only say, “Okay. If you want to go home, you can come back anytime.”
Qin Shuang ignored him.
Mr. and Mrs. Qin looked at each other and then at the principal. “Principal, let us bring Qin Lu home first.”
The principal waved. “Go, go and educate her well!”
Only then did the two of them leave the office. Just as they exited, they saw Qin Lu hiding not far away, wanting to know what they were discussing inside.
Seeing her parents coming out, Qin Lu walked up and asked uncertainly, “Dad, Mom, have they found anything?”
Mrs. Qin stared at her and was about to say something when Mr. Qin interrupted her and said, “It’s so troublesome. How can we find out who sent it? Your mother doesn’t believe your sister and she won’t come home with us. Come back with us.”
Qin Lu paused. “I-I still have class!”
“Let’s go back first.”
After saying this, Mr. Qin walked in front.
Qin Lu was a little uneasy. She did not know if she had managed to get through this.
...
In the office.
After comforting the “victim” Qin Shuang, the principal let Xue Xi and Qin Shuang go to class.
The two of them left the office. Qin Shuang took out her WeChat and saw Cen Bai’s message: “How is the situation?”
Qin Shuang stared at those four words and suddenly replied: “Brother, I don’t have a home anymore.”
In the future, when she would feel tired and sleepy, she would no longer be able to rest in that harbor and could only wander outside endlessly...
Her phone rang.
Qin Shuang lowered her head and saw Cen Bai’s message: “White Light is your home forever.”
“White Light” was Cen Bai’s fan’s name and also her streamer name.
When she saw this word, her heart finally calmed down.
Cen Bai sent another message: “I’ll wait for you in the entertainment industry.”
Wait for her in the entertainment industry.
Qin Shuang was full of motivation. She suddenly held Xue Xi’s arm and said, “Sister Xi, I’m going to attend the physical education class. I need to study hard! I must get into the Capital Film Academy.”
Only by becoming more outstanding could she stand beside her brother!
Xue Xi did not react to her sudden fighting spirit and calmly replied, “Oh.”
She was calculating in her heart. After they’d been delayed for so long, the fourth period should be starting soon, right?
When they returned to the classroom, the fourth period had indeed started. The two of them entered the classroom and finished the lesson very quickly. In the afternoon, the two of them continued to eat at the rice noodles shop.
On the way, Qin Shuang said, “I should tell the boss that we would eat here at this time every day. We’ll have to wait every time if we don’t.”
Xue Xi: “No need to wait. Someone already ordered for us.”
Qin Shuang: “...Huh? Oh.”
When the two arrived, they saw Xiang Huai sitting there and waiting for them. There were two bowls of piping hot rice noodles on the table.
Qin Shuang was stunned. “Just two bowls? Brother-in-law, aren’t you eating?”
Xiang Huai was very satisfied with the term “brother-in-law.” He felt that this little kid’s best friend was quite good. Hence, he rapped his fingers on the table and pointed at the piping hot rice noodles on another table. “Oh, yours is over there, isn’t it?”
Qin Shuang: “?”
Xiang Huai slowly said, “You ate there back then. Don’t you want to relive the memory of when you ate with your idol over there?”
Qin Shuang: “...I really do.”
...
While they were eating, Qin Lu, Mr. Qin, and Mrs. Qin had already returned home.
Qin Lu felt uneasy. On the way home, her parents had a gloomy expression and did not speak.
When she reached home, she hurriedly said, “Dad, Mom, I’ll go pack my luggage and move out today. Let Xiao Shuang go home.”
“No need.”
Mr. Qin said, “Follow me.”
Puzzled, Qin Lu followed Mr. Qin upstairs and entered his study room.
Just as she entered, she saw Mr. Qin turn around and say, “Kneel.”
Qin Lu was stunned. “Dad, what did you say?”
“I said, kneel.” Mr. Qin gritted his teeth and slowly said, “Do you know your mistake?”
