Teacher Yu was also extremely embarrassed, her face turning extremely unpleasant. She opened her mouth and said, "Mr. Mo, what do you mean by that? Why can't I understand anything you're saying?"
"You don't understand? Then I'll be more direct."
Mr. Mo glanced at everyone present and said, "This matter is not Teacher Tang's fault. It was all planned by Teacher Yu."
"Mr. Mo, one needs evidence to speak. I know you have feelings for Teacher Tang, but you can't slander me just to clear Teacher Tang's name."
"You want evidence?"
With that, Mr. Mo opened his laptop and projected the surveillance footage. In the video, Teacher Yu, while Teacher Tang was not in the classroom, went to find Mo Shao Xuan and skillfully lured him out. Then, she spread the news that Mo Shao Xuan had gone missing to other teachers.
There were also several teachers who were jealous of Tang Yi's beauty. Upon hearing Teacher Yu's words, they quickly reported the matter to the principal.
Meanwhile, Teacher Yu, in order to make Tang Yi lose face in front of Mr. Mo, directly called Mr. Mo and escalated the situation.
However, Teacher Yu didn't expect that Mr. Mo would be able to repair the surveillance. The camera, which had been deliberately cut by Teacher Yu, was also repaired by Mr. Mo.
Seeing the truth, everyone was incredulous.
Teacher Yu still didn't realize her mistake. She sat there with an arrogant expression.
Mr. Mo looked at Teacher Yu and said again, "Teacher Yu, you can pack your things and leave."
"I'm not leaving! I've worked diligently for these children, regardless of the salary. I've poured so much effort into this place. Even if I made a small mistake, you can't fire me. At least, I haven't neglected my duties. If Teacher Tang were like me, she wouldn't have given me the chance to target the children. I genuinely care about the children."
Hearing Teacher Yu's words, Mr. Mo spoke again, "Teacher Yu, your real name is Yu Xi. You've remained unmarried your whole life because you're considered ugly, am I right?"
Yu Xi hated being called ugly the most.
It was true that she was not good-looking.
Being openly scorned like this made Yu Xi lose face.
Yu Xi said faintly, "So what if it's true, and so what if it's not? You can't fire me just for that. Being ugly isn't my fault."
"Your brother is running for mayor. The reason you came to work here is to accumulate popularity for your brother, to prove that your Yu family are all good people."
These words left Yu Xi completely stunned.
She had always kept a low profile since she started working here and had never revealed that she was from an influential family. She never expected that Mr. Mo would expose these matters.
Teacher Yu's face turned extremely ugly. Looking at Mr. Mo, she pretended to be calm and said, "So what?"
Mr. Mo looked at Yu Xi thoughtfully and said nothing.
But the truth had already been revealed.
What was what.
No one paid any more attention to Teacher Yu.
Mr. Mo had invested in the school, and he had every right to dismiss Teacher Yu.
No matter how stubbornly Teacher Yu refused to leave, everyone knew that she had offended Mr. Mo.
Teacher Yu left the conference room in disgrace, and everyone started to show concern for Tang Yi.
For the first time, Tang Yi witnessed what was called reality.
Just now, these teachers were siding with Teacher Yu, eager to see her fired.
In the blink of an eye, the situation had reversed. Teacher Yu was fired, and these teachers began to curry favor with Tang Yi.
Tang Yi was clearly unaccustomed to such hypocritical flattery.
Mr. Mo also noticed Tang Yi's predicament.
He stood up and said, "Today's meeting is adjourned."
He then walked over to Tang Yi, looked at her, and said, "Teacher Tang, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. Shall we find another place to talk?"
"Sorry, I have nothing to say to you."
If it weren't for Mr. Mo, Tang Yi wouldn't have been misunderstood like this.
Tang Yi already had a bad impression of Mr. Mo, so she didn't want to get too close to him.
Mr. Mo had previously pestered Tang Yi because he wanted to inquire about her mother's situation. Now that he knew her mother was gone, he had no reason to continue bothering Tang Yi.
Seeing Tang Yi visibly push him away, Mr. Mo knew that despite his successful career and his age, many young women were trying to win his favor.
But Tang Yi was different from those girls; she was constantly wary and rejecting him.
This made Mr. Mo even more interested in Tang Yi.
Of course, this interest was not romantic. It was mainly because Tang Yi resembled Yu Gui Lan so much.
Mr. Mo leaned close to Tang Yi's ear and whispered, "Teacher Tang, aren't you curious who your biological father is?"
Father.
The word struck Tang Yi.
Ever since she was sensible, Tang Yi had lived with her mother. In Tang Yi's world, the word "father" did not exist in her vocabulary.
But now, hearing Mr. Mo's words, she asked, "Do you know who my father is?"
Mr. Mo felt a pang in his heart. Yu Gui Lan really hadn't told Tang Yi about him during her lifetime.
He nodded and said, "Of course, I do."
Tang Yi temporarily believed Mr. Mo and went out to talk with him.
Mr. Mo sized up Tang Yi, then placed a document in front of her and said, "Teacher Tang, I know this might be abrupt. I didn't want to tell you this originally, but I see you're really pushing me away, and I have no choice but to use this method to get your attention."
Tang Yi pursed her lips and did not respond.
Mr. Mo continued, "I am your biological father."
Tang Yi's eyes widened.
What was this Mr. Mo babbling about?
Although he and her mother were classmates when she was alive, he had never told Tang Yi that they were also lovers.
And now, he suddenly appeared before Tang Yi and said, actually, I am your biological father.
Tang Yi found it difficult to accept this fact.
If he were truly her father, why had he been absent from her life all these years?
Where was he when she needed a father? When her mother was suffering from illness?
Where was he when Tang Yi was at her most helpless and needed the support of her family the most?
Now that Tang Yi no longer needed his support, he suddenly appeared and told her that he was her biological father.
Tang Yi found it ridiculous.
And Tang Yi actually let out a laugh.
Mr. Mo knew that the laughter in Tang Yi's eyes was absent.
Tang Yi still couldn't accept his presence.
This outcome was within his expectations.
