Chapter 58: Mediation

Xie Chaochao stood up, with the little flower snake on her wrist.

She walked toward Wang Xiaomei. She was expressionless, but anyone could sense her anger.

“If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can tell me directly. However, if you want to harm Xiao Hua, I won’t forgive you!”

Xu Shan also came over and said, “Indeed, the little girl is smart. She tricked you so easily!”

Wang Xiaomei immediately reacted. “Did you lie to me just now? There were no surveillance cameras in the first place?”

“Of course, there are surveillance cameras in the classroom. Look, that’s a surveillance camera. It’s just that it’s not turned on!”

As Xu Shan spoke, he smiled.

This laughter made Wang Xiaomei even angrier.

Xie Chaochao said, “I’ll tell the teacher what you’ve done! It is up to the teacher to decide the kind of punishment you will receive!”

Xie Chaochao also wanted to get along with her classmates, but     refused to let anyone hurt her friends.

Xu Shan left. He still wanted to distribute candies to the students who helped search for Xiao Hua.

At the same time, he even called Zhang Xiaohan over.

In the teachers’ office.

Zhang Xiaohan looked at the two girls in front of her and couldn’t help but sigh.

Her tone was very gentle. She did not say anything about punishing Wang Xiaomei, and only asked, “Xiaomei, why did you put realgar in Xie Chaochao’s drawer?”

Wang Xiaomei was still angry at Xie Chaochao for scaring her.

“Teacher, I hate snakes and I don’t want to see them, but Xie Chaochao used the snake to scare me! I… I just wanted to chase the snake away!”

Xie Chaochao said, “I was not trying to scare you. I thought you wanted to play with Xiao Hua, so I brought it to you. After that, you scolded Xiao Hua. You were in the wrong!”

Wang Xiaomei glared at Xie Chaochao. “You said you would let the snake bite me!”

“That’s because you didn’t want to apologize to Xiao Hua!”

Zhang Xiaohan saw that the two students were about to quarrel again, and hurriedly stopped them. “Alright, alright. I roughly understand now. Xiaomei, when Xie Chaochao first brought the snake to the classroom, you had already raised this issue. Afterwards, after discussion, we placed the snake in the bottle, so that we could bring it back to the classroom. You have also agreed to this! Isn’t that so?”

Wang Xiaomei nodded hesitantly.

Zhang Xiaohan continued, “Afterwards, after everyone became familiar with Xiao Hua, Chaochao took Xiao Hua out of the bottle. This was also approved by the students in the class, right?”

“If you have any dissatisfaction, you can let me know. I will definitely respond to your feedback!”

Her tone changed. “But you didn’t let me know nor did you discuss with Xie Chaochao on letting her bring the snake out.

Instead, you selfishly put realgar in the drawer, almost causing Xiao Hua to disappear. Do you think you did the right thing now?”

Wang Xiaomei lowered her head and did not say anything.

“You should have heard before that Xie Chaochao and Xiao Hua have been together since they were young. Xiao Hua is like her family. Think about it. If someone were to hurt your family, will you be sad?”

Wang Xiaomei was silent for a moment before she nodded lightly.

“Fortunately, Xiao Hua has been found and isn’t hurt. However, do you know that what you did before was wrong? Shouldn’t you apologize to Xie Chaochao?”

Wang Xiaomei looked at Xie Chaochao and fell silent for a while. Then, she stammered, “S-Sorry…”

Xie Chaochao said like a little adult, “I accept your apology, but Xiao Hua is very important to me. I don’t want this to happen again!”
