Chapter 1177: Selling Talismans to Teacher Yu

??

Chen Jin didn’t expect such a big thing to happen after he left for a while. As soon as he heard that Cai Xuanqiao was going to tell the university about this, his face changed drastically and he hurriedly said, “Teacher Cai, this might be a misunderstanding. Don’t jump to conclusions before things are clear. It’s not good for the students!”

Cai Xuanqiao already had a personal grudge against Chen Jin, and when she heard Chen Jin’s words, she directly flared up. “Teacher Chen, I know you personally brought this student along. I’ve never been one to quibble with students, but there are witnesses and physical evidence. What, do you need me to call a few witnesses over to testify?”

As soon as Cai Xuanqiao finished speaking, Chen Jin’s face changed.

Chi Shuyan said indifferently, “Teacher Cai, whether you have physical evidence or not, I can only say that I haven’t scammed anyone! I can only say that my two talismans are indeed worth that much!”

Cai Xuanqiao didn’t like students contradicting her to begin with. Seeing that Chi Shuyan refused to admit that she was wrong and kept contradicting her, Cai Xuanqiao was so angry that her face turned green, and she scoffed at Chi Shuyan’s last sentence.

What she hated the most was students with poor morals who wouldn’t acknowledge their mistakes. Disgust flashed in her eyes.

Chen Jin was rendered speechless by Chi Shuyan’s words. He really wanted to ask where this student’s confidence came from.

At the thought that this student had sold two pieces of paper for 60,000 yuan, the more Chen Jin looked at her, the more he felt that this child was simply a genius; someone actually believed her?

Cai Xuanqiao was about to lose her temper at this student in front of her again, but Old Yu had caught wind at some point of what was going on. He immediately walked over and called Cai Xuanqiao to the side. He tried all means to appease her, and said many good things.

From what Chen Jin could see, it seemed that Cai Xuanqiao’s complexion improved. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, then looked at the silent student in front of him and sighed.

Chi Shuyan said very sincerely, “Teacher Chen, I really wasn’t lying just now. Given that we’re all students, I sold those two talismans at a cheap price!”

The corners of Chen Jin’s mouth twitched fiercely again. He didn’t take her words seriously, for fear of being treated as dumb.

At the same time, he felt that this student was really too absurd. Why was she still refusing to admit her mistake?

It was just that when he had seen this obedient child in the office before, he never expected this student of Old Zhang’s to do such a ridiculous thing.

Chen Jin had always liked to give people the benefit of the doubt. Now that he thought about how this student was blatantly “scamming” money out of people, he was afraid that she really was in dire straits. He couldn’t help but think of this child’s previous words: “My family is poor.”

Chen Jin’s eyes were complicated and pained. He wanted to ask her directly about the 60,000 yuan, and have her return the money to its rightful owner, but he was also afraid that he would hurt her pride.

Chi Shuyan stood on the side and admired Teacher Chen’s colorful expressions. Her lips curved up. This Teacher Chen was unusually soft-hearted.

Teacher Chen’s voice sounded in front of her. “Shu… Shuyan, is your family…”?Short of money??He changed his words. “Are you… in some sort of difficulty? You can tell me!”

Seeing that Chi Shuyan didn’t speak, Chen Jin’s tone became gentler. “Truly, Shuyan, if you really have run into some difficulty, you can tell me. I also encountered many difficulties back then. My family was also poor, but I am able to make my own way now. You mustn’t take the wrong path. One wrong step and your life might be over!”

To be honest, this matter wasn’t too big nor too small, but he was really afraid of Old Zhang’s student taking the wrong path. He made up his mind to have a good chat with Old Zhang about this child when he went back later. Making a mistake wasn’t a big deal, but he was concerned that she wouldn’t admit to it.

Chi Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled. “Teacher Chen, I’m fine!”?My family isn’t poor either!

Chen Jin, on the other hand, felt that the child in front of him had a lot of self-pride. She would rather dupe people into thinking that she was scamming them out of their money than lower her head and tell the truth. Chen Jin deliberated for a while before he said, “Shuyan, what I said just now is true: If you really encounter any difficulties, you can tell Old Zhang or me. I won’t ignore you if you’re in a difficult situation. As a person, however, we still need to be realistic. Return the money which you got from Su Yu earlier. If you need money, tell me! I can help you!”

Chi Shuyan already had a favorable impression of the teacher in front of her because of Counselor Zhang. After listening to him, her favorable impression of him increased by 70 to 80%. There was a smile in her eyes. However, she regretted openly selling talismans just now. After all, there were many eyes around, and gossip was scary.

She knew that these talismans could save lives, but no one else did. They didn’t believe her at all and thought that she was greedy for money. She really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this misunderstanding.

She made up her mind that she wouldn’t sell talismans in a crowd in the future. Whether others believed her or not had nothing to do with her, but she hated fuss. At the thought of that Cai teacher’s threat earlier, her eyes turned a little cold. However, she couldn’t be bothered to explain further, so she said with a good att.i.tude, “Okay, Teacher Chen, I know what to do!”

Chen Jin’s eyes lit up and he patted her shoulder. “It’s good that you know! It’s good that you know! You’re a good child!”

Chen Jin didn’t say anything else, but before Chi Shuyan left, he emphasized earnestly, “You can’t swindle people anymore!”

Chi Shuyan thought to herself that she had made a loss in selling these talismans and hadn’t swindled anyone. She was about to speak, but Old Yu had already come over after placating Cai Xuanqiao. Before Chi Shuyan left, he patted her shoulder and sighed helplessly. “Child, you dare sell two lousy pieces of paper for 60,000 yuan? You’re talented! Hurry and return the money!”

Chi Shuyan’s eyes fell on the black qi on Old Yu’s forehead. She had seen that there was a layer of bad luck qi and cadaveric qi on the foreheads of all the students and teachers here. So far, however, the ones with the most cadaveric qi were Ji Mingshu, Yu Bo, Teacher Chen and Teacher Yu.

The black qi on Teacher Yu’s forehead was similar to what it had looked like on Teacher Chen back in the office; it could be said to be very serious. Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and thoughts flashed through her mind before she suddenly said, “Teacher Yu, I still have a few talismans on me. Do you want to buy them?”
