Tang Huai reined in her sharpness, pursed her lips, and looked at Old Mrs. Ma with an obedient and sensible demeanor, "Thank you, Grandma Ma!"
Then, she turned around and looked at Principal Liu, "Principal, do the words from this morning still stand? Many students and teachers heard them. If I'm falsely accused, and it turns out who posted the pictures on the bulletin board, that person will be expelled. If it was Liang Feng who posted them, I want you to expel her right now."
Liang Feng had earned her place at Jinan with her academic performance; she was strong in every subject. As the principal, he really didn't want to expel a top-performing student.
But having made such a statement in anger that morning, it was now seemingly impossible to take back.
Principal Liu was in a quandary. He wanted to gently convince Tang Huai, asking whether they really needed to expel someone or if they could deal with it some other way, perhaps a major or minor offense?
