Chapter 109: Classmate Kajiena
To think he actually knew Wu Liangde, to think Wu Liangde himself would come to present the award to him.
Gao Le inwardly sensed trouble, but at this point, he had no way out. He glanced at the equally bewildered Wang Xiaosong and the others, then bravely stepped forward, "Uncle Wu, when did Shen Mochen act heroically? Whom did he save?"
"It's Xiao Le, huh? I didn't expect you to be classmates. Shen Mochen rescued the daughter of Earl Alexandrov, Miss Alexandrova, just last week!"
While speaking, Wu Liangde had already spotted Shen Mochen in the crowd and went over to pull him out.
"Shen Mochen, I've heard about your heroic deed, and it's truly remarkable!" The grade director smiled and patted Shen Mochen's shoulder, full of admiration.
Hearing that his sister is a Buque, truly, it's a family of heroes. Lately, society has been criticizing First Middle School, accusing them of favoring the rich and noble families in their admissions. But now, with Shen Mochen, a student from the poor district, acting bravely, maybe it's an opportunity to publicize and improve the school's image.
We at First Middle School don't only take in the privileged!
"Is Kaja here? She's not around?" Teacher Xun looked around the classroom.
"She's at rehearsal. I'll go call her!" Liu Bo darted out. Shen Mochen, you're so freaking awesome. No wonder you're so fearless; turns out you were prepared, even getting Wu Liangde to come!
And you've even played the hero saving the beauty; you've kept it well hidden, buddy! Is this the reason you two are dating? You've always been great at fighting since you were young!
In the classroom, Wu Liangde was holding Shen Mochen's hand, patting his shoulder affectionately, speaking kindly, "Then we'll wait a bit, wait for Alexandrova to come before we continue."
Shen Mochen smiled, "Alright, no problem, we'll talk when Kajiena arrives."
"Now for a special announcement. In Class A of Grade 12, Shen Mochen acted bravely last Monday night, fighting to the death against four villains to help a female classmate harassed by hooligans. He ultimately captured them all and handed them over to the police. This commendable quality is something everyone should learn from! Students, we may be born with differences in status, wealth, or glory, but we can cultivate a great character later in life! Now, let us all remember his name, remember his act of bravery..."
The school's internal broadcast system was turned on, and that emphatic female voice resounded. Wu Liangde smiled slightly; this was also something he had proactively requested from the school authorities. He knew that Shen Mochen and Catherine were secretly dating and was also aware that sometimes pleasing the man could gain the favor of the woman.
The only pity was that Catherine was not present. But since it was a schoolwide broadcast, as long as she was still in school, she would certainly hear it.
The grade director and Teacher Xun also looked very satisfied; for one, Shen Mochen had brought honor to First Middle School and Class A, and for another, he had saved Catherine. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
If Catherine had really been bullied by the thugs, it would have been a severe diplomatic crisis. They were just minor teachers, definitely unable to bear such consequences!
But at this moment, aside from Wu Liangde and a few others, the rest had somber expressions. Gao Le, Wang Xiaosong, and Fang Botao were especially distressed to the extreme. No wonder Wu Liangde came personally; they hadn't expected Shen Mochen to have saved Catherine!
Why hadn't they spoken up before? If they had known earlier about the relationship between Shen Mochen and Catherine, they would never have initiated this trouble so lightly.
Wang Xiaosong and Fang Botao were even more regretful. They were just a bit annoyed with Shen Mochen and hadn't resisted Gao Le's instigation and request to give Shen Mochen "a little lesson." They had never expected the situation to become this big!
Speaking of which, they had no grudges against Shen Mochen at all!
Their legs were trembling, and they were extremely nervous, but at this moment, it was too late for regrets. Having boarded the thief's ship, how could they get off now.
No, no, no... There's still a chance. Catherine was so quick to remove Shen Mochen's position last week. Maybe their relationship isn't that good! There's still a chance, still a chance... The three of them prayed silently in their hearts.
Zhao Yuji took a small step back; he had already vaguely sensed that things were not looking good. Why was it such a coincidence that Wu Liangde, who could have come earlier or later, chose to come today?
He felt some regret. If it hadn't been for the sudden news of Catherine having a boyfriend, he wouldn't have been in such a gloomy mood, nor would he have come down in person to enjoy the spectacle.
But even so, this matter didn't have much to do with him.
He was just an outsider, here to join the crowd, and he even helped Shen Mochen smooth things over. Who could blame him?
The planning was done by Gao Le, and the execution by Wang Xiaosong and Fang Botao. Although he had said some things, he had never explicitly told Gao Le and others to frame anyone!
Such true malice! I'm strongly opposed!
Zhao Yuji crossed his arms, completely collected. The results would come out after Catherine arrived, but at this moment he wasn't too concerned with the outcome. He was more interested in asking about the identity of her boyfriend after seeing Catherine.
Were there such characters in the social circles of Yu Huai City or Gaotang State?
It was truly frustrating.
The rest of the students listened to the school broadcast, also looking at each other in confusion. Wasn't he just branded a criminal? How did he become a hero now? And to save Catherine?
The broadcast went on for several minutes before quieting down. Everyone was eagerly anticipating Ikatrina, with mixed expressions on their faces. They had never felt time drag on so long.
"Sorry, I'm late."
With a clear voice, Ikatrina entered the classroom. She wore the gorgeous princess dress from the stage play, not having had time to change. And behind her followed about a dozen classmates, all rehearsing the stage play, looking like her servants.
"Kaja, you're here?" Teacher Xun and the grade supervisor smiled and went up to greet her.
"Cough, Alexandrova, long time no see. I'm really sorry for the unpleasantness caused in my district last week," Wu Liangde ingratiated himself as he approached.
Catherine nodded gently, like a real princess, or rather, her appearance nearly restored all our beautiful imaginations of a fairy tale princess.
Despite Catherine's absence throughout the entire event, she appeared so composed and seemed to understand everything, revealing an inexplicable smile on her face.
"I'm delighted to see Shen Mochen receive the honor he deserves today," Catherine bent slightly towards Shen Mochen, smiling gently. "Thank you for saving me back then, Shen Mochen."
Catherine's personal confirmation set off a murmur of surprise in the class.
Those who had been involved before all felt a sense of embarrassment on their faces.
"It's okay, Kajiena, it was only right," said Shen Mochen.
