Quite a few onlookers had already gathered on the sports field.
Zhang Guo'er strode confidently through the crowd, arriving at the center.
However, she didn't see Tang Xiaomin.
"Tang Xiaomin asked me to come to the sports field for a confrontation, but where is she?"
A gossip among the crowd chimed in, "I bet Tang Xiaomin just yelled on the broadcast. She probably thought Zhang Guo'er wouldn't dare to show up for a confrontation."
"Exactly. Now that Zhang Guo'er is here, she's probably feeling guilty and scared, which is why she's hiding."
"This incident is very serious. I suspect she'll be expelled."
"Yeah, being expelled for pregnancy is explicitly stated in the rules."
"I heard she broke up with General Yan. Could it be because he found out she was pregnant with someone else's child?"
"No way!"
"Think about it. If the child was General Yan's, why would he break up with her?"
"That makes sense. I didn't realize Tang Xiaomin's private life was so messy."
...
Just as everyone was indulging in malicious speculation and slandering Tang Xiaomin, a delicate female voice, out of place, spoke up.
"The truth hasn't been clarified yet. It's not right to speculate maliciously about Xiaomin right now."
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw a girl with her head bowed, standing almost invisibly in the crowd.
"Lu Sisi, Tang Xiaomin's pregnancy is confirmed. She did something shameless, so why are you still defending her?" Zhang Guo'er said coldly.
"Did she bribe you to help her whitewash herself?"
Lu Sisi, usually quiet and gentle, blushed at the accusation and looked wronged.
"No, I'm just stating facts. Shouldn't we wait until Tang Xiaomin herself arrives and hear her side of the story before making a conclusion?"
Zhang Guo'er arrogantly stepped forward and shoved Lu Sisi hard.
"Are you blind, or are you deliberately ignoring the facts? Can't you see Tang Xiaomin's prenatal check-up report? Are you implying I'm framing Tang Xiaomin by defending her so much?"
Lu Sisi fell to the ground, hurting her arm, wincing in pain.
Because Lu Sisi had previously damaged Ye Lingyun's clothes, she had already received a red card once.
Therefore, after Lu Sisi was bullied by Zhang Guo'er, the surrounding people just watched with cold indifference.
Being treated this way, Lu Sisi felt wronged and scared, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over.
It wasn't until she saw a graceful figure walking towards them from a distance that she mustered her courage and met Zhang Guo'er's gaze, neither subservient nor arrogant.
"Your evidence is just hearsay. I don't believe it's true."
Zhang Guo'er was instantly enraged, her eyes turning red. She raised her hand to strike.
Lu Sisi closed her eyes in fear.
...
A while later.
The expected pain did not come.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Tang Xiaomin firmly gripping Zhang Guo'er's hand.
What's more, she unceremoniously pushed Zhang Guo'er to the ground as well.
"Are you alright?"
Tang Xiaomin looked at Lu Sisi on the ground and reached out to her.
If for no other reason, then for Lu Sisi standing up for her and being bullied by Zhang Guo'er because of it, she deserved a helping hand.
Lu Sisi stood up, rubbing her arm.
"It was just a bump. I'll be fine in a couple of days, don't worry about me."
Although Lu Sisi said it was nothing, her contorted expression betrayed her.
Her tightly furrowed brow clearly indicated she was enduring the pain.
"Tang Xiaomin, how dare you push me!" Zhang Guo'er yelled from the ground.
"Everyone, come and see! Tang Xiaomin is bullying people, she's hitting me! Look!"
Zhang Guo'er's cries actually garnered some sympathy, and people started speaking up for her.
"Tang Xiaomin, you're bullying people just because you're trained? That's too much. You like using violence so much, are you a violent person?"
"She's lashing out in anger after Zhang Guo'er exposed her scandal of being pregnant, and resorting to violence."
"Heh... So what if you're strong? Do you want to use violence to shut everyone up?"
"Even if you beat everyone here to death, you can't hide your scandal!"
...
Qian Lili and her group were equally vociferous.
"A bunch of mindless lapdogs. Zhang Guo'er feeds you crap, and you believe it all. How pathetic."
Lin Keke and Shu Ya chimed in, rolling their eyes.
"Some people have tumors on their necks instead of brains."
"They believe whatever Zhang Guo'er says without any independent thought. They live such pathetic lives."
...
Both sides spoke harshly, and the shouting match escalated, on the verge of turning into a group brawl.
Just then, someone shouted, "F2 is here!"
The influence of F2 at Modu University was undeniable.
As Liu Feng and Ye Lingyun, two handsome young men, slowly approached, the two groups, who had been arguing fiercely moments before, fell silent.
As they passed, the crowd automatically parted to make way.
Liu Feng said impatiently, "What's going on? Do you want to fight here? What do the school rules say? Have you forgotten?"
The school rules prohibited fighting.
Liu Feng added.
"If you want to fight, go to the abandoned factory."
...
No one present dared to defy Tang Xiaomin's challenge.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Zhang Guo'er remained seated on the ground, looking pitifully at Ye Lingyun.
"Young Master Yun, Tang Xiaomin hit me. You are the student union president, you must uphold justice and make a decision for me."
"Young Master Yun, Tang Xiaomin was pregnant during school. According to school rules, she must be expelled to set an example and maintain discipline."
"That's right, expel her."
"Expel her!"
"Expel her!"
...
The calls to expel Tang Xiaomin were uniform and loud.
Except for Qian Lili and her friends who stood by Tang Xiaomin, the entire school had united this time.
As the lyrics go.
A single bamboo pole can hardly cross the vast ocean. Everyone rowing together can sail a great ship.
The clamor of the crowd drowned out Tang Xiaomin.
Zhang Guo'er, sitting on the ground, listened to everyone calling for Tang Xiaomin's expulsion, and her expression gradually became excited.
Now the entire school knew Tang Xiaomin was pregnant before marriage and was calling for her expulsion.
This time, no matter how powerful Tang Xiaomin was, she wouldn't escape expulsion.
Tang Xiaomin had beaten her badly last time, and she had never forgotten that.
Today, Tang Xiaomin would finally pay the price.
She could finally hold her head high.
Suddenly, Lu Sisi excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Lingyun's arm.
"Young Master Yun, you can't expel Tang Xiaomin like this. We should investigate the matter first. Also, I suspect the evidence Zhang Guo'er posted online is fake. It's not hard to Photoshop these days."
"We can't expel Tang Xiaomin based solely on Zhang Guo'er's one-sided testimony."
This scene stunned everyone present.
Good heavens!
Lu Sisi was too daring.
She had already damaged Ye Lingyun's high-end clothes last time and was penalized with a red card for compensation.
Now, she dared to approach Ye Lingyun again, showing she had no fear of death.
