Belated kindness was still kindness. Not long after Xia Chujian and Meng Guanghui entered the school gates, Xia Chujian received a message from Zong Ruoning.
Zong Ruoning: Xia Chujian, come to my office immediately after you return.
Xia Chujian was puzzled. What was this about? Was he going to announce her expulsion in person? It was only because the message came from Zong Ruoning.
If it had been any other teacher, she would have ignored it.
Xia Chujian replied to Zong Ruoning.
Xia Chujian: Commissioner Zong, I just got back to campus. I already know. I came to pack my things. I'll leave right away.
At the Political Commissioner's office, Zong Ruoning was speaking with the school's four Executive Vice-Principals and Yan Xu, the Director of Admissions Office.
Seeing Xia Chujian's reply, Zong Ruoning could not help twitching at the corner of his mouth.
He hurriedly replied.
Zong Ruoning: Don't overthink it. It's good news. Hurry over.
Xia Chujian perked up and said to Meng Guanghui, "Sir, Commissioner Zong wants me to go to his office. He says there's good news!"
Meng Guanghui perked up too. "Let's go together."
The two of them soon arrived at Zong Ruoning's office.
When Xia Chujian saw the people in the office, that ominous feeling rose in her heart again.
Could they really be announcing the expulsion decision in person? And this was good news? Xia Chujian looked at Zong Ruoning in confusion.
Zong Ruoning said calmly, "Student Xia Chujian, the school leadership is here today mainly to apologize to you."
Xia Chujian: "..."
Apologize for what? For expelling her on the Emperor's orders?
Xia Chujian kept a blank face and said flatly, "You're all too kind. I know this wasn't your intention. You don't need to apologize."
The school leaders in the room
