Chapter 957: The Outcome

Feng Aibing looked at Kong Yuexiang’s aunt, who was unwilling to relent, and then turned his gaze to Xinyan.

Xinyan remained firm: "You say you’ve been misled and want us to forgive you, isn’t that laughable? As this aunt said, you’re an adult, not a child anymore. Have you thought about the consequences that your words can bring?"

Feng Aibing’s face was full of shame: "I’m truly sorry, I really didn’t expect this outcome."

Upon hearing his words, Xinyan realized that he didn’t really understand how irresponsible his words were.

Neither bothered to correct him, as his irresponsible remarks had affected the department, and with department leaders present, she believed they could handle it fairly.

No matter how Feng Aibing claimed to have been manipulated, the department still informed his family.

They also brought Feng Aibing’s partner over, who initially didn’t want to admit anything, but Feng Aibing got anxious: "Gong Xiangxiang, don’t forget that we weren’t the only ones present. Shall we call those others to testify?"

Gong Xiangxiang immediately stopped arguing and, for her own protection, dragged Xue Hongjuan’s good friend, Song Bingjing, into the situation, since Gong Xiangxiang was one of Xue Hongjuan’s followers.

Xinyan didn’t expect that pulling out one radish would bring so much mud along.

Next, Song Bingjing and Xue Hongjuan were brought in for questioning separately.

The final result was that this matter was indeed unrelated to Xue Hongjuan.

It was Song Bingjing who secretly orchestrated things, killing two birds with one stone, tarnishing Xinyan’s reputation while making it seem like it was Xue Hongjuan who instructed Gong Xiangxiang to do this.

She hadn’t anticipated that an impulsive fool like Feng Aibing would appear, hurting someone and making the situation uncontrollable, also implicating her, leaving her regretting setting up this plan.

Now the matter escalated, drawing the attention of the Xue Family and Song Family to the events at the school.

Xinyan heard that Xue Hongjuan was fortunate since she wasn’t the mastermind, so the Xue Family simply reprimanded her, advising her to stay away from Song Bingjing and spared her.

But Song Bingjing was different; she kept insisting it was to avenge Xue Hongjuan, yet everyone knew her real intentions.

Originally, the Song Family was dependent on the Xue Family, so even if Song Bingjing claimed it was to vent for Xue Hongjuan, she failed miserably, inciting the Xue Family’s dissatisfaction towards the Song Family.

Because of this, the Song Family refused to forgive her, and the scandal quickly spread within their social circle.

In essence, the image Song Bingjing portrayed over the years was utterly ruined.

The Song Family had hoped Song Bingjing might marry into a wealthy family to support them, but now it was all a joke.

Upon returning home, Song Bingjing was met with curses and beatings.

Several days later, the matter was resolved; considering Feng Aibing was provoked, and his usual behavior was decent, some teachers couldn’t bear to see his future destroyed and spoke on his behalf.

The school dealt Feng Aibing a severe demerit, but for him, realizing his mistakes, being allowed to stay was the best outcome.

His parents came over, paying for Kong Yuexiang’s medical and subsequent nutrition expenses and sincerely apologizing to Xinyan and Kong Yuexiang with their son.

In consideration of Feng Aibing’s straightforward parents, neither pursued the matter further.

Simultaneously, Song Bingjing and Gong Xiangxiang received official reprimands.

Of course, whether there was intervention from the Song Family and Gong Family, Xinyan was unsure; all she knew was the ultimate victim was class leader Kong Yuexiang.

Xinyan went over that afternoon with Jiang Peiqin and Su Yuelan; Kong Yuexiang was cheerful and didn’t hold a grudge against Feng Aibing, only saying he was truly misled and impulsively made a mistake.

However, he didn’t go out of his way to plead for Feng Aibing and simply stated that mistakes come with consequences, and he wouldn’t plead with the department on Feng Aibing’s behalf, letting things unfold naturally.

Since Kong Yuexiang’s injury was related to her, Xinyan brought some fruit from space as compensation, hoping Kong Yuexiang would recover quickly and not fall behind in his studies.
