CHAPTER 617: CHAPTER 630: CATCHING THE CULPRIT WITH THE EVIDENCE

An Ran never expected that she remembered her cosmetics so clearly. After all, with more than a dozen bottles on the sink, she probably just grabbed one without realizing she’d be caught.

Hmm, it must be like this. Otherwise, why did she hesitate when I mentioned the name and brand of the cosmetic?

"What now? Don’t dare to? Or is the zipper too heavy for you to pull? Need me to help you open it?"

Ren Shuang took a step forward with great interest and stood in front of An Ran.

"No need, I can do it myself."

An Ran opened her bag and took out the items one by one, including that bottle of cosmetics.

"Aha, An Ran, you still deny it? Look what this is?" Ren Shuang held up the bottle of cosmetics, "Everyone, look, this is my bottle of moisturizer, Lancôme’s. Teacher Tang, now that we have both the person and the stolen goods, please make a decision."

Tang Huacheng obviously didn’t expect that the bottle of cosmetics would really be in An Ran’s bag, and slightly frowned.

"An Ran, can you give everyone an explanation?"

He certainly trusted An Ran’s character, but now that the cosmetics were found in her bag in front of everyone, some explanation was necessary.

"Explain what? It’s definitely Ren Shuang framing An Ran, putting it in her bag when An Ran wasn’t in the dorm." Xiao Xiao was the first to stand up and say.

"Xiao Xiao, I know you and An Ran are close, but you can’t be so blatantly biased, can you? How could I frame her? I went out with Wang Xiaoyi and the others, and came back with Shen Qi. How could I frame her? The evidence is irrefutable. Whatever you say now is just quibbling."

Although Ren Shuang was talking to Xiao Xiao, she kept her eyes on An Ran.

An Ran spread her hands and looked at Tang Huacheng, "As you can see, can I say that this bottle of cosmetics is actually mine?"

"Yours? Haha," Ren Shuang sneered as if she had heard a ridiculous joke, "An Ran, do you even know how much this bottle of moisturizer costs? Don’t think I don’t know. You’re just an orphan, relying on part-time jobs to pay tuition. How could you afford such expensive cosmetics? How did you buy it? By working as a hostess in a bar?"

"Slap——"

As soon as she finished speaking, a crisp slap echoed, and the sound of people gasping filled the room.

Looking at Ren Shuang again, she was covering one side of her face, looking at An Ran in disbelief, while An Ran’s whole aura had turned from casual to sharp and icy.

The culprit who made the sound was still shaking her hand.

"You... you actually hit me. Teacher... Teacher, she actually hit me." Ren Shuang was completely flustered, her speech incoherent and hands and feet at a loss.

It was the first time in her life that she got slapped by someone.

Tang Huacheng rubbed his temples, speechless, it was also his first time witnessing someone hitting another right in front of the teacher.

But what could he do? He couldn’t just let Ren Shuang hit back, right? If that happened, within two hours, some people would come over ready to chat with him with their sandbag-sized fists.

Tang Huacheng put his fist to his mouth and lightly coughed to cover his embarrassment.

"Ren Shuang, the truth about An Ran’s job at the bar has already been revealed, and Sun Beibei was punished by the school. Isn’t that lesson enough?"

When Tang Huacheng said this, his tone was noticeably more severe. By mentioning Sun Beibei again, he made everyone present realize the seriousness of the matter.

Sun Beibei was expelled from school for framing classmates and causing negative impacts. Now Ren Shuang brought it up again, and An Ran merely gave her a slap. Compared to expulsion, it was too lenient.
