Chapter 52 Qiao Chen and the Rest Were Around
The Dean of Teaching was getting a headache from the noise. Seeing that she was here, he quickly
waved her in. "You''re here? Come on in."
Qiao Nian entered and closed the door behind her. She saw Shen Qiongzhi and Qiao Chen the
moment she entered. Qiao Chen was hooking arms with a woman in an elegant and ssy attire as
they spoke to someone. The woman Qiao Chen was holding seemed more like her biological
mother than Shen Qiongzhi herself. Meanwhile, Qiao Chen left Shen Qiongzhi on her own, sitting
by the side.
The three of them turned to her the moment she entered. Their eyes were like nails baring into her
skin!
Oh? Qiao Nian raised a brow, her expression calm as usual with a little bit of wildness in her eyes.
She pretended not to see them and walked to the desk. "Dean, you''re looking for me?"
The Dean of Teaching had been in this line for so long and finally got a genius in his school. He had
high hopes of Qiao Nian and did not want this gifted student to be ruined by such trivial matters.
But with teachers and parents around, he couldn''t show his bias.
He coughed deliberately to mask the awkwardness before looking at Qiao Nian and saying very
seriously, "Did you y truant yesterday?"
The moment Qiao Nian reached school this morning, Shen Qingqing had told her that the teacher
found out about her leaving school early. Qiao Nian didn''t intend to deny it now, nor had she ever
thought of doing so.

"Mm. I had something to attend to at thest minute."
This attitude... she was so nonchnt it seemed like she was trying to anger them!
Everyone in the office felt offended by her tone.
Her Form Teacher, Shen Hui, sneered with an unpleasant look. "What do you take the school for? A
ce you cane to and leave as you wish?"
The Dean of Teaching acted as the mediator. "Teacher Shen, don''t get angry first. Let Qiao Nian
exin herself. Perhaps there was an emergency?"
He then lectured her seriously, "Student Qiao Nian, no matter how urgent the matter was, you
should not have left without telling your teacher at all. You left the schoolpound during lesson
time. If anything happened to you outside, who is going to take responsibility? Your teacher and the
school can''t possibly bear such a responsibility! Neither can I. Do you understand?"
Qiao Nian kept her head low, hiding her dark and fierce eyes. She responded rather politely, "I
understand."
The Dean of Teaching knew that she was a smart girl who understood what he was getting at. He
seemed more relieved now as he turned to Shen Hui. "Teacher Shen, just look, she''s realized her
mistake. She''s only just transferred into the school and doesn''t know the rules yet. Let it go this
time."
Shen Hui furrowed her brows and wanted to say
something.
He raised his hand to stop her. "If she leaves school early again without giving teachers a valid
reason, I will punish her on my own even without you asking me to!"
Shen Hui''s anger was lodged in her throat. She could tell that the Dean of Teaching was rather
protective of Qiao Nian. As much as she didn''t like it, she felt that it was best if she stopped talking.
After all, the Dean had already said that he would punish her if this happened again. The least she
could do was to show him some trust and respect.
She wouldn''t talk about it anymore, but that didn''t mean that everyone else was fine with it just yet!
At this point, Chen Xi, the Form Teacher of ss B, nced at Qiao Nian and said, "Dean, you still
haven''t even asked her what exactly was so urgent and important that she would miss the school-
opening ceremony."
The Dean of Teaching frowned again. He was intending to let this go easily, but didn''t know why
Chen Xi was so bent on making things difficult for this new student!
