Chapter 635: Opening the Door to Socializing with Gossip
Wang Tao glanced at Principal Qi, looking at him pitifully with pleading eyes.
Wang Tao hoped that Principal Qi would step forward and say something for him.
However...
Principal Qi's eyes were fixed on the silver needle used by Nan Qiao, the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.
This set of silver needles was too unusual, quite different from ordinary silver needles.
Wang Tao's eyes blinked so much that they were twitching, yet Principal Qi still didn't glance at him.
Chen Man reminded loudly: "Wang Tao, wasn't it you who just declared yourself a real man? Are you no longer a man?"
"What nonsense are you talking!" Wang Tao was furious.
Chen Man: "Am I not speaking the truth? Everyone judge, wasn't it him who was clamoring just now? Now that he lost, he doesn't want to fulfill his promise. Is he a man or not?"
The classmates were very supportive.
"Wang Tao, are you a man or not? A loss is a loss. Bow your head, admit your mistake, keeping your student status is also a good thing!"
"Ma Yiming doesn't seem to be able to contain his joy; it's obvious, his headache problem is indeed resolved."
"Ma Yiming, who came together with Wang Tao, now doesn't want to stand with him. Isn't that attitude obvious enough? Why can't Wang Tao see the situation?"
"I never expected Nan Qiao to be this awesome, really impressive."
"Haven't you guys forgotten? Old Tang personally came forward to support Nan Qiao, claiming Nan Qiao as his disciple. Wang Tao kicked the iron plate this time, daring to provoke Old Tang's disciple!"
The sound of discussions gradually brought Wang Tao's brain back into place.
Acting on impulse will only harm oneself.
Li Ning stood beside, her face ashen.
She felt as though these people were talking about her.
Li Ning didn't want to think further, but her brain kept spinning around this matter.
Causing Li Ning's vision to go black, she nearly fainted.
Lu Hui supported her: "Are you alright?"
Li Ning was startled, then quickly shook her head: "I'm fine."
Li Ning's gaze involuntarily turned towards Wang Tao.
Wang Tao fell to his knees with a thud.
"Auntie, I was wrong!" Wang Tao nearly shed tears of humiliation.
After kneeling, Wang Tao stood up and ran off, not leaving any time for others to take pictures.
Chen Man: "Why did he run so fast, does he want to find a place with no one to cry properly?"
Nan Qiao was messaging on her phone, then looked up and said: "It's fine, as long as he admits his mistake."
Ma Yiming stood nervously in place, weakly looking at Nan Qiao, squeezing out a stiff smile.
"Nan Qiao, do I...do I need to take some medicine to strengthen my body?"
"No need, remember to exercise and eat light."
"Thank you." Ma Yiming bolted off.
Principal Qi said: "Nan Qiao, why don't you help me check my pulse too."
"Sure."
Nan Qiao asked Principal Qi to sit down and checked his pulse.
After she was done, Nan Qiao wrote a prescription.
"Principal, just follow this prescription for a course."
"Thank you, Nan Qiao."
Principal Qi wanted to give money, but Nan Qiao said: "Today I'm hosting a free clinic at the school, no charge."
Giving prescriptions without dispensing medicine, she didn't need to collect money.
Director Tian praised Nan Qiao: "Nan Qiao is a person with a heart full of love, very good."
Principal Qi left with Director Tian.
After they left, a long line instantly formed in front of Nan Qiao's stall, the scale of the crowd very impressive.
Chen Man: "Oh my heavens, so many people, even if we saw them in January or February we'd never finish. Qiaoqiao, I'll go tell the ones at the back to stop lining up, even hanging needs to catch a breath!"
Nan Qiao: "I can probably see a hundred people, time is almost up too. Tell the ones at the back it's impossible to see everyone."
Chen Man: "Alright, I'll borrow a loudspeaker to shout."
Chen Man borrowed a loudspeaker and began to shout loudly.
...
When other students arrived at the small market, they found that upon entering, there were no stall owners, only items on both sides of the stalls.
No one collecting money?
Self-checkout mode?
"What's going on? Where did everyone in the small market go?"
"Look ahead, is that where the people are?"
"If not people, it must be ghosts, look, it's so crowded, all people."
"Let's go see what's going on ahead."
They asked at the end of the queue for information, the last student had her eyes shining bright.
Anxious from waiting in line, her eyes hurt from watching her phone.
Now that people arrived, she could finally gossip, great!
"Let me tell you, the thing is like this..."
The student vividly described what had just happened.
After listening, several students were indignant: "Wang Tao is too bullying! Nan Qiao is so nice, so compassionate! Treating people without charge, she is truly a model of the new era!"
"I better queue up too..."
Last student: "Sorry, I'm the last one who can line up. You all better wait for another opportunity, there's really no more chance this time."
Everyone: "..."
...
The news of Nan Qiao conducting a free clinic at the school made it to the front page of the school forum.
The comments were all praising Nan Qiao for being brave, resourceful, strong, fearless, and a courageous fighter, a woman of the new era.
Li Ning was holding her phone, looking at the comments with lingering fear.
Mei Tian Sha Zi was burning with anger, her words sharp.
"Ningning, I asked you to do such a simple thing, and you couldn't manage it. You really disappoint me."
Li Ning felt wronged: "Mom, I managed it. Nan Qiao's medical skills were good, she turned danger into safety, there's nothing I could do."
At that time, Ma Yiming was in severe pain, if it had been anyone else, they would have panicked.
Nan Qiao's calm composure made Li Ning admire her.
"You couldn't do anything? Why does Nan Qiao have a way and you don't? Ningning, I raised you this big and asked you to do just this one thing, and you didn't do it well. How can you face me saying you couldn't do anything?"
Mei Tian Sha Zi's reproaching tone made Li Ning feel wronged and extremely uncomfortable.
"Mom, how can you say that about me. Today you asked me to do harmful things, a little carelessness would lead to a lawsuit, a life for a life. You asked me to do it, and I went ahead. But you, you never worried about my safety!" Li Ning's eyes reddened with grievance.
"Ningning, you aren't a three-year-old child. As long as you are careful, they won't trace it to you, what are you afraid of?" Mei Tian Sha Zi frowned deeply, very dissatisfied with Li Ning's show.
Still blaming herself, she protected Li Ning too well, didn't let her touch these matters, causing her to be so ignorant now!
Mei Tian Sha Zi looked at Li Ning, consumed with anger.
"I'm not three, but I also don't want to be a murderer! Ma Yiming's situation looked terrifying, if Nan Qiao hadn't saved him, if he died on the scene, everyone there would be suspects, even I couldn't escape! Mom, are you my real mom? You're worse than a stepmother!"
Slap!
Mei Tian Sha Zi, furious, slapped her.
