Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Call security if you want! I’ll let everyone be the judge.” Zou Lan did not care about the guards at all. She just wanted to humiliate Xu Jiaojiao in school and make it difficult for her to stay here.
Why was Xu Jiao jiao allowed to study here, while her own daughter had to go to jail? Lu Huan even had a criminal record now.
Just then, an extremely dissatisfied voice suddenly spoke from afar. “What are you all doing here? You should go back to your dorms after class…”
It was a balding man in his forties. As he approached them, he instantly caught sight of Qi Yunduo, and his mannerisms changed in a heartbeat. Even his tone became very polite. “Miss Qi, you’re here too? Is there any trouble?”
The principal actually called her Miss Qi! Could she really be Qi Shenbai’s younger sister?
“This woman spoke rudely to me and even tried to hit me. She’s ruining the school’s reputation.” Qi Yunduo pointed at Zou Lan and said confidently.
The principal frowned and looked at Zou Lan. “May I ask which student’s parent you are?”
“She’s not a parent. Her daughter has already gone to jail for slandering Xu Jiaojiao,” Qi Yunduo said righteously.
Many students knew about Xu Jiaojiao’s case. They heard that Xu Jiaojiao had already sued that original poster and won the lawsuit, so everything written on the forum was fake.
Initially, they did not know why that person was slandering Xu Jiaojiao. Now that they saw Zou Lan, they understood that Lu Huan was just like her mother!
The principal turned to look at Xu Jiaojiao, his expression serious. The others might not know Xu Jiaojiao’s identity, but he knew it very well. She was Qi Shenbai’s young wife.
Back then, Qi Shenbai had personally visited him at the school and told him to take good care of Xu Jiaojiao. He had even donated air conditioners for the classrooms and the dormitory. Everything was paid for by Qi Shenbai alone.
If Qi Shenbai were to find out that Xu Jiaojiao had been wronged in school, wouldn’t he retract his sponsorship for the student grant and high-end research equipment next year?
The principal could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. He looked at Zou Lan and scolded angrily, “Madam, this is a school, not your backyard. You can’t do whatever you want. If you don’t leave now, I’ll call security.”
However, Zou Lan stood rooted to the ground in a daze. “How could this be…?”
She still could not believe that the person Xu Jiaojiao had married was the CEO of the Qi Group and the head of the Qi Family, Qi Shenbai.
“Security! Where are the security guards?” The principal continued to shout.
Before the security guards could come over, Lu Zhuo arrived first. He looked at Zou Lan angrily. “Mom, what are you doing here?”
Zou Lan did not seem to hear him at all. She just stood there in a daze.
The surrounding students looked at Lu Zhuo strangely. Lu Zhuo wanted to find a hole to hide in. “Jiaojiao, I’m sorry. It’s my mother’s fault.”
“If she comes to cause trouble again, I won’t give anyone face. I’ll just call the police.” Xu Jiaojiao looked at Lu Zhuo angrily.
Lu Zhuo hoped to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible. “I’ll come back and apologize to you alone later.” After saying that, he dragged Zou Lan away with all his might.
Seeing that Zou Lan had finally left, the principal felt relieved. “Miss Qi, Mrs. Qi, are you alright?”
The words “Mrs. Qi” cemented everyone’s guesses. She really was Qi Shenbai’s wife! Mrs. Qi was their classmate… Many people began to feel excited.
Qi Yunduo’s gaze shifted away from the boy in the number 8 jersey. “I’m fine.” Then, she looked at Xu Jiaojiao. “Jiaojiao, are you alright?”
“I’m alright.” Xu Jiaojiao took a deep breath.
“That’s good, that’s good. I’ll tell the security guards to pay attention and not let them come in and disturb you in the future. Um, about this incident…”
Xu Jiaojiao could hear the meaning in the principal’s words. He must be afraid that Qi Shenbai would find out about this. “Principal, thank you for helping us out. We should keep this incident under wraps, or it will affect the school’s reputation.”
“Oh, of course! Don’t worry about it. It’s my responsibility to protect my students. If there’s anything, look for the security guards.” The principal smiled when he heard Xu Jiaojiao’s words.
Xu Jiaojiao nodded.
“Alright, you’re all dismissed! Hurry up and go back to the dorms! Don’t crowd around here and ruin the school’s atmosphere.” The principal then waved at the students, and they dispersed.
The boy in the number 8 jersey was about to leave when Qi Yunduo stopped him. “Wait a moment.”
The boy turned to look at Qi Yunduo. “What is it?”
“Thank you for helping me,” Qi Yunduo said shyly.
“You’re welcome,” the boy said, smiling like the bright sun.
Seeing such a smile, Qi Yunduo couldn’t help but blush. “You helped me last time, too. Do you still remember?”
The boy was puzzled for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “I remember. You weren’t scalded that time, were you?” As he spoke, he picked up the branded bag on the ground and flicked the dust off it before handing it to Qi Yunduo..
