The Days of Being in a Fake Marriage with the CEO - Chapter 174
Chapter 174: Who Has Framed Her (6)
This matter had seriously affected the school’s reputation.
And the dean summoned her for a talk as a result.
“Mu Huan, your cheating incident has brought a bad rap to the school. Hence, the institution has decided to accept the recommendation from the academic committee. A critical notice will be served to you to stay back in class as punishment. If you do this again, you’ll be the first student in Yun University’s history to be expelled. I hope you can watch your behavior from now on. Don’t waste what you have done for your studies in the last ten years and destroy your future!”
“Dean, I’m being framed! I won’t accept this punishment! Give me some time to uncover the truth!”
Being served a critical notice was only second to dismissal, and this punishment would be permanent in a student’s record. Being served a notice now might mean that she might not even get to graduate with a degree. Moreover, she was looking to graduate with a double degree!
Looking at her, he paused for a while before saying to her, “Next Monday, the school will send out the notice to you through the academic committee. You have only two and a half days to clear your name.”
The school originally had high hopes on the top scorer ever to appear in the school’s history, hoping that she would win glory for the school’s medical faculty.
When news of her foul play was reported, the school really did not want to exterminate this promising seedling; however, the management could not turn a blind eye to the repercussions of her ill behavior either. If her behavior went unpunished, the students would not respect the function of examinations in school in the future.
So the school needed to mete out a severe penalty to her, but without destroying her future. Hence, the management asked the dean to step in, and also to warn her that she had to settle this matter in order to clear her name.
If not, then she had to accept the punishment meted to her!
This would mean that an ugly mark would be left in her school record that would affect the rest of her life!
The girl knew that the reason the dean had sought her out to inform her of their decision prior to executing the penalty was that the school wanted a way out for her. There was no need for her to say anything more. Hence, she said to him, “I’ll definitely find the evidence to prove my innocence!”
“I hope so.” The dean truly wished for that, too.
Li Meng had been waiting outside the office for her. She immediately approached her friend when she saw her coming out of the office.
“What did the dean say?”
“If I can’t prove my innocence, then a critical notice will be served to me and publicized to the entire school. If I’m found to commit another wrongdoing again, I’ll be expelled.”
“What nonsense!” Her friend went nuts and exclaimed, “This is totally uncalled for! What kinda misfortune is this?!”
Her eyes sank, pensive and angry.
To her, other than her granny, her studies were her top priority. The life she had envisioned entailed a perfect graduation from university. She would not allow herself to give up any modular subject, let alone to be given a major demerit point!
No matter who might be the mastermind behind this whole affair, she would fight it out with him, even if it turned out to be Long Feiting!
“Let’s go!” She walked away.
Li Meng hurried after her. “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to find Li Ze.”
Right now, Li Ze was the only other person who was directly involved in this incident. Time was running short and she could not afford to conduct an investigation in the background. She had to find a lead on him directly!
Both of them went back to the class and was informed that Li Ze had returned to the dormitory. Mu Huan then got somebody to invite him out for a meeting.
However, the boy seemed to sense correctly that it was Mu Huan who wanted to see him and, thus, he rejected the invitation.
In fact, he holed up inside the hostel and refused to show his face.
In the end, the two girls had to go and find him at the dormitory.
Just as she was about to enter, Mu Huan bumped headlong into Long Feiting, who was walking out from the hostel.
