Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

Chapter 322 Obedient and Clingy Younger Brother (33)

The child's palms were ice-cold; he probably had never seen anything like this before.

"It's quite a scene. Some of these little brats these days are truly wicked to the core," the man who came in with them said quietly behind Lu Liruan and Jin Shuhe.

His sarcastic remarks made Lin Zhuoran's mother lose her temper even more: "How did you parents and the school educate him! How did you raise a juvenile delinquent!"

The head of moral education stood in the middle, and the condescending attitude he had shown towards the students just moments before had completely disappeared.

Despite the cold weather, he was only wearing a shirt, and his forehead, with its receding hairline, was glistening with sweat.

"Lin Zhuoran's mother, please calm down..."

"How can I stay calm! Are all the teachers at your school blind?!"

"Hey! How can you believe whatever your daughter says? Your child doesn't respect herself, wants to date our child, and then tries to pin the blame on our child!"

"Let me tell you, my child is very innocent. All the students in her class are annoyed with your daughter and scold her. Your daughter must be very disliked and disliked!"

Zhang Mingxiang's mother started shouting, and it wasn't just nonsense; it was downright illogical and absurd. But the parents of the other children behind her all chimed in with agreement.

This is a big deal; we need to get the responsibility off the hook as soon as possible!

They were outnumbered, and Lin Zhuoran's mother was clearly outmatched.

Lin Zhuoran squatted in the corner, only knowing how to cry, looking pitiful and aggrieved.

"What?! You're just bullying us! Everyone knows that!" Zhao Jingyi couldn't hold back any longer and loudly testified.

"Little girl, what makes you think our child is bullying someone? You're friends with that girl surnamed Lin, but that doesn't mean you can lie for her!"

"I'm not lying!"

Hearing this, Jin Shuhe squeezed Lu Liruan's hand back, then turned to the head of moral education and Teacher He and said, "They and several female students from Class 14 did indeed bully their classmates. There are surveillance cameras all over the school; you'll see for yourself."

Because many of their students are troublesome, and because it's a private school with money, they've spent a lot of money installing surveillance cameras.

Even in each classroom, there are two surveillance cameras, one at the front and one at the back. Sometimes, teachers will check the situation of students in each class through the surveillance cameras, and if they find any violations, they will issue a deduction slip.

“This…there are so many surveillance cameras in the school, where are we supposed to find them one by one?” The head of moral education glared at Jin Shuhe.

"Some of the surveillance cameras don't work properly."

"There's no need to look for them one by one; I remember when they bullied me."

Jin Shuhe quickly stated several times and their corresponding locations.

"Just check these time points, and you should be able to get the footage."

The head of moral education was taken aback by the student's unexpected move and was momentarily speechless.

Lu Liruan was not surprised by his good memory and meticulousness.

What Lu Liruan cared about more was: "How long have they been bullying you? Why didn't you tell me?"

Seeing Li Ruan's surprised and sad expression, Jin Shuhe pursed his lips, wanting to say that he didn't care at all, and that the "bullying" had no effect on him.

But I can't say now.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Lu Liruan imagined a pitiful scene.

Before she could say anything more, the back of her coat collar was tugged by someone behind her. The man leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Don't embarrass your child..."

Lu Liruan swallowed the rest of her words.

Jin Shuhe frowned when he saw this. He didn't know what secrets they had discussed, but it made him feel...uncomfortable, as if he had been excluded.

Who is he, and why is he getting so close to Sister Li Ruan?

"Stop messing around! You can't just check the surveillance footage whenever you want!" the director interrupted Jin Shuhe.

"Oh? Why can't we check? Our child was bullied and almost wrongly accused. What, we can't even ask to check the surveillance footage to find out the truth?"

"So domineering?"

The man looked at the head of the teaching department and asked slowly and deliberately.

He realized that the moral education director clearly wanted to smooth things over, and that Lu Liruan and Jin Shuhe, the siblings, seemed to be the easiest to talk to.

The head of moral education was also afraid of the parents who were arguing so much that they were about to come to blows.

"Who are you? What's it to you?" a parent on the other end questioned him.

“I’m the child’s older brother, what, don’t we look alike?”

The man put his hand on Jin Shuhe's shoulder and asked a question in return.

……

Not at all.

The man was too lazy to waste words with her.

"Isn't this a normal request from us parents? If you insist on wrongly accusing our child, I do have some connections in the Education Bureau. What, should I report it to the higher-ups and let the media take a look?"

"No, no, no! It's a normal request from parents. If you want to see it, then see it!" The director of moral education didn't expect that the man who had been silent just moments before was actually a tough nut to crack.

According to the time and location Jin Shuhe mentioned, the surveillance footage was quickly retrieved.

This included being hit with mineral water bottles by several girls on the playground and being blocked in the corridor.

Lin Zhuoran was also led to the grove behind by several girls...

and many more.

Extremely accurate.

The parents looked at these things and their faces turned ashen. How could they possibly deny it?

"Little beast! Little beast!"

Lin Zhuoran's father arrived at this moment, his face flushed with anger!

"Hey—what are you doing!"

Why didn't you tell Dad sooner?

"Tell you?" Lin Zhuoran was lifted up by her father, and she screamed, "I said I don't want to go to school, I don't want to study anymore! All you two do is scold me. I've given you food and drink, but if you don't study, I'll break your legs!"

“When I say I’m not doing well at school, you all say that other people are doing well! All you do is call me stupid and say I’m a disgrace to you. Even if I tell you, you just say it’s my fault!”

Lin Zhuoran's parents were stunned by their daughter's outburst and stood there somewhat helplessly.

At this point, it's clear that Jin Shuhe and his group are somewhat superfluous.

"You two go back first," Teacher He said to Zhao Jingyi and Wen Bei.

Wen Bei was stunned and had to be pulled away by Zhao Jingyi.

"Director, can we cancel the disciplinary action against our student? Wasn't this child considered to have acted bravely?" Teacher He asked the moral education director loudly.

The head of moral education was in a terrible predicament.

"Cancel! Cancel! You all go back first!"

"Sir...look at that..." He wasn't sure if this person knew anyone from the Education Bureau.

But since he dared to say it.

Lu Liruan glanced at the director with a half-smile: "You should deal with the matter at hand first."

After saying that, he pushed Jin Shuhe away from the Moral Education Department.

Teacher He clearly didn't expect things to develop this way.

"What happened today shows that Jin Shuhe is a well-rounded child in terms of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, and aesthetics. He is a kind and righteous child!" Teacher He praised.

Jin Shuhe was a little embarrassed, but Lu Liruan was not modest at all.

“Teacher, you teach very well. When Xiaohe comes back, he often tells me that you take good care of him. The child doesn’t say anything, but he always remembers your kindness.”

Lu Liruan had indeed heard about Teacher He and knew that he was a young teacher who had just started working and was full of enthusiasm.

By the time all this happened, it was almost 4 p.m.

"Xiao He, why don't you come with me today?" Lu Liruan said to him.

Once outside the school gate, the man, who had been wearing a stern face just moments before, suddenly burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Liruan asked him.

"I'm laughing at you. You've learned to use polite, platitudes now? You're quite adept at it."

"I'm a tough, career-driven woman who's been in the workplace for two years!" Lu Liruan raised her arm.

"So, all you do, a strong, independent woman, is rant and rave online all day?"

The child, who seemed to be sticking close to her, tugged at her sleeve.

Lu Liruan then realized, "Oh, I forgot to introduce him! Xiao He, this is my college classmate, Xin Changyun. You can just call him Brother Xin."

“This is my younger brother, Jin Shuhe, Xiaohe.”

"Brother Xin."

"Hey, I really am your older brother now!" Xin Changyun chuckled.

"Your younger brother is really something. He's calm and methodical in the face of danger, unlike you, who was always so impulsive and clumsy when you were in school."

"Stop spreading rumors about me in front of my brother!" Lu Liruan pulled Jin Shuhe between the two of them.

Jin Shuhe's feeling of being excluded suddenly disappeared.

Sister Li Ruan will never forget herself.

"Let's go out to eat, it's on me! You drive!"

"Still eating?" Xin Changyun was amused by her.

"You only ate half of your lunch. If you're not going to eat, you can just drop me and Xiaohe off and leave. Rising star actor~"

"Why should I? I have to eat since you're treating!" Xin Changyun ignored her teasing.

Lu Liruan chose a buffet restaurant.

As they ate, Jin Shuhe gradually understood the relationship between them.

Brother Xin is now half of Sister Li Ruan's boss. The short drama scripts that Sister Li Ruan wrote are what he wanted.

He was classmates with Sister Li Ruan in college. Now he is a short drama director. When there are not enough actors, he has to take on a cameo role himself.

He was also Li Ruan's college roommate's ex-boyfriend...

"Has Gao Zhixuan contacted you recently?" he asked shamelessly.

"Of course we've kept in touch, we're good friends~" Lu Liruan chuckled.

"Have you told her... about our current partnership?"

"What's there to say?"

"you!"

Xin Changyun raised an eyebrow: "How can you be so clueless about romance?"

"If you want to talk to someone, contact them yourself. I'm not going to interfere. We may cooperate, but my friendship with Zhixuan is the kind where if she criticizes you, I'll definitely agree with her!"

The two of them weren't talking behind Jin Shuhe's back.

As Jin Shuhe ate her third plate, a question suddenly popped into her mind: Did Sister Li Ruan... have a boyfriend before?

What kind of person would Sister Li Ruan like? These thoughts came to mind and wouldn't go away.

At this moment, Xin Changyun deliberately asked him, "Xiao He, do you have a girl you like? Tell your clueless older sister about this shy and budding feeling!"

Jin Shuhe choked suddenly.

"Xin Changyun!" Lu Liruan glared at him: "Stop teasing our child! He's in the most important stage of the college entrance exam right now, don't try to demoralize him!"

"And what are you shy about? Stop trying to make yourself look good!"

Jin Shuhe, who had initially felt somewhat heavy-hearted, gradually relaxed in the cheerful atmosphere.

But when he calmed down, the question about Sister Li Ruan still lingered in his mind.

After removing her makeup, Lu Liruan sprawled on the sofa: "It's rare for you to come back so early today. You should go to bed early tonight. I'm worried you won't get enough sleep."

Jin Shuhe did not return to his own room, but instead went to Lu Liruan's side and sat on the carpet, imitating Lu Liruan's usual manner.

"Sister Li Ruan..."

"Ok?"

I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you today.

"Huh? What's this trouble? If I thought today was trouble, wouldn't I be telling you to mind your own business next time something like this happens? I would have intervened too!" Lu Liruan frowned; those kids were really too wicked.

"Sister Li Ruan, will those people be punished?"

Lu Liruan paused for a moment, then replied, "That depends on what the girl's parents do."

Lu Liruan also wanted to say that they would receive the punishment they deserved so that they would never be able to do such things again, but the reality might not be so.

Jin Shuhe also fell silent; he understood what Li Ruan meant.

Justice may not arrive in time, or even at all.

But someone always has to do something righteous so that the word "justice" isn't just empty talk.

The announcement was broadcast over the loudspeaker at noon the next day.

All students in Class 14 involved in bullying will receive a major demerit, have their files sealed, and be suspended from school for ten days.

However, the specific reason was not given.

This sparked widespread discussion among students at the school.

After hearing what their homeroom teacher said, Zhang Mingxiang and a few others voluntarily withdrew from school the next day.

The parents of the other girls were also called to the school.

“Zhuoran said she’s transferring too…” Zhao Jingyi said sadly.

“She told me that it wasn’t that she didn’t want to come forward, but Zhang Mingxiang and those women each had her photos… They threatened her that if she dared to say a single word, they would upload her photos to all kinds of apps!”

“That would also be illegal,” Jin Shuhe said softly.

"She said she knew, but if they actually did that, even if they broke the law, she would be finished."

"Jin Shuhe, she asked me to... say sorry to you."

Jin Shuhe nodded, but did not answer "forgive me".

"understood."

When Saturday came, Lu Liruan logged into her account and found that she had been tagged a lot.

The first few messages all asked, "Are you with President Xin?"

Lu Liruan was puzzled.

Mr. Xin is Xin Changyun. His own account posts short clips from dramas, as well as his own photography works. He is also a freelance photographer.

The nickname "President Xin" comes from his recent cameo roles as the CEO of the rival company of the domineering female lead, serving as cannon fodder to highlight the unwavering love between them.

Lu Liruan read through the whole story and found that someone had posted the photos of Xin Changyun accompanying her to school online.

It was posted on Saturday, probably by a student at the school who had seen both their own and Xin Changyun's accounts.

Xin Changyun sent a message to Lu Liruan: "It's okay, I'll talk about it during my live stream tonight."

Then, when the live stream started that evening, Lu Liruan clicked on it:

"Don't slander my innocence! We have a purely platonic relationship as classmates and colleagues."

“Yes, we graduated from the same class. Now I’m her boss, and she can only work for me. Of course, I’m more successful.”

Lu Liruan: ? Why are you putting me down?

Hearing the noise, Jin Shuhe came out of the room and met Li Ruan's gaze. He blurted out, "I think you're more successful, Li Ruan."

Lu Liruan: ...
