"Xia Xibei, did you meet up with Yang Xuan this morning?" Teacher Liu asked, looking at Xia Xibei gently.
"Yes, I did," Xia Xibei nodded.
"I knew it..."
Yang Xuan's mother was swiftly shut up by her husband's fierce glare before she could go on. If she kept throwing tantrums like this, how would the matter ever be resolved?
"Why did you guys meet up?"
"Because I wanted to ask him to return my money," Xia Xibei answered, bold and straightforward, not a tinge of guilt to be seen in her.
"Return your money? He borrowed money from you?"
"Yes, he borrowed quite a lot of money from me," Xia Xibei replied, answering whatever questions were raised. "That money was all my savings. I needed to use it now, so I asked him to pay me back, but he refused."
"So, you guys had a conflict?"
"We argued a bit, but I didn't hit him. I went back in when class started."
"You're lying!" Yang Xuan panicked, "You did hit me!"
