The drama of Zhou Cui'an's attempted suicide by jumping off the building came to an abrupt end, leaving her with nothing but a bruised ego.
The school had been displeased with Zhou Cui'an ever since the rumors spread on the forum. Despite receiving a demerit, there was little more to be done. If Zhou Cui'an had just kept her head down, she could have completed her four years of university in peace. But fate had other plans, leading her to stage this dramatic suicide attempt.
The school couldn't afford to take such incidents lightly. Allowing such behavior to go unpunished would set a dangerous precedent. Thus, while they didn't explicitly demand Zhou Cui'an's expulsion, they decided to suspend her temporarily.
Although termed temporary, the duration of her suspension remained uncertain. So, in essence, it was almost as good as expulsion.
