Chapter 1055 - 1054: I Believe Her
Others might not understand her current emotions, but Qiao Yaning herself felt as though she had undergone monumental changes.
She bit her lip hard, her eyes filled with tears.
She never expected that Lu Mian's first words upon arrival would be to express concern for her.
A second ago, she was like a small grass, drifting alone on a turbulent sea, helpless.
And now, it felt like she had grasped a strong and powerful coastline, finally standing on solid ground.
Her relationship with Lu Mian was clearly not good...
Qiao Yaning couldn't speak, she just lowered her head, shaking it vigorously a few times to indicate that she wasn't hurt, and they hadn't really started fighting.
"That's good."
Lu Mian gave a devilish smile and then turned to look at the Elite Class students.
The confrontation between the two, obviously classmates, had somehow escalated to such an antagonistic point.
Lu Mian glanced aside, looking at Lu Yutian opposite her, and the broken scroll she held in her hand, and had a general understanding of what had transpired.
Meeting Lu Mian's gaze, Lu Yutian inexplicably lost some confidence, not daring to meet it directly.
She simply stood out and said with rational calmness: "Lu Mian, regardless of any grudges you have with our Elite Class, we can set those aside. The fact remains that our class's work was destroyed by someone from your class. We can't let something like this affect our class's honors selection, can we?"
"Yutian!" Ge Yu glared angrily at Lu Mian, "You're putting it too mildly, I believe Lu Mian did it on purpose. Why crash into us out of everyone else?"
"Exactly! Lu Mian, do you have any conscience left? How could you treat our class like this? What have we done to wrong you?"
Just as a group of boys started denouncing Lu Mian again, another team of people rushed over from afar in a fiery manner.
Someone in that team shouted.
"Who's heartless? It's you who are heartless, a bunch of blind trash!"
Qiao Yaning recognized that it was their class leader bringing the group over.
"Class Leader!"
At this moment, the Class Leader of Applied Physics, Jian Ze, having heard about the incident from other classes, immediately brought the whole class over.
As long as it concerns Lu Mian, nothing is trivial.
Especially the Elite Class, who often confuse right and wrong; he was afraid Lu Mian might be at a disadvantage, so he quickly brought people over.
So what if they caused a commotion, they would protect their favored student!
As Jian Ze arrived with his group, Shu Shu also rushed over, "Mianmian, are you alright? Yaning, Shiwei, are you guys okay?"
Shu Shu, unaware of Wang Shiwei's actions, proactively showed concern for them.
Qiao Yaning gestured with her hand, "I'm fine."
Now, the students from both classes were all here, so they could finally have a proper discussion.
Ge Yu flexed his wrist joints again, pointed at Qiao Yaning and forcefully said: "She ruined our artwork, you all have to take responsibility!"
"Right, the girl next to her admitted it, you can't deny it!"
"I didn't, Class Leader! I really didn't touch them!" Qiao Yaning frantically explained, worried her class would not believe her.
Jian Ze looked at Wang Shiwei.
Wang Shiwei stood beside, speaking in a strange tone: "It was so chaotic then, no one can testify for you. You might as well accept it."
"I didn't..."
"Wang Shiwei, are you certain Yaning hit them?" Jian Ze asked cautiously.
He wasn't at the scene and didn't know what happened. But instinctively, he trusted Wang Shiwei as part of their group, unlikely to deceive him.
However, Wang Shiwei nodded indifferently.
"Class Leader, sorry, I seem to have really seen it... but I'm not very sure either..."
Though she didn't speak definitively, her words sentenced Qiao Yaning, crushing her with absolute certainty.
Jian Ze sighed, his face struggling; this was a tough situation.
Other classmates watching didn't blame Qiao Yaning, they just spoke helplessly, "Yaning, don't worry, no one in our class will blame you. If something happens, we will handle it together!"
"But I really didn't..."
Ultimately, Qiao Yaning's tears fell.
Even if her classmates wouldn't blame her, what she wanted wasn't that; she wanted the truth.
She hadn't touched them, she even moved out of the way!
She didn't want to bear this responsibility because it wasn't her fault!
Qiao Yaning began to cry grievance.
Shu Shu hurriedly comforted her.
Amidst the argument, a cold and solemn voice rose.
"Stop crying,"
Lu Mian spoke coldly, rubbing her temples while she stood there, firmly stopping them, appearing rather heartless.
Qiao Yaning's tears threatened to fall back, she withdrew them at once; just as she was feeling grievance, Lu Mian's next words floated over.
"It's not your fault, why cry?!"
"Lu Mian?" Qiao Yaning stood with her mouth open, hardly believing.
"I trust you." Lu Mian said.
Those three words were like a drumstick, each word pounding on Qiao Yaning's heart.
Lu Mian believed her...
When no one else did, Lu Mian believed her...
"You really trust me?"
Lu Mian casually nodded, she always had her own judgement, and upon seeing Lu Yutian, she had already formed an opinion.
The scroll in her hand looked as if it had been deliberately broken.
Based on this alone, she knew the matter wouldn't be so simple.
"The truth of the matter can be revealed by checking the surveillance." Lu Mian said blandly.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it successfully stopped the argument between the two classes.
Without waiting for Lu Yutian and the others to speak, Lu Mian directly took out her phone and dialed Xiao Qimo.
The phone call was simple, just asking Director Qimo to bring over the surveillance footage.
Shu Shu hurriedly comforted her.
Amidst the argument, a cold and solemn voice rose.
"Stop crying,"
Lu Mian spoke coldly, rubbing her temples while she stood there, firmly stopping them, appearing rather heartless.
Qiao Yaning's tears threatened to fall back, she withdrew them at once; just as she was feeling grievance, Lu Mian's next words floated over.
