“Don’t worry, I’ll come back soon.” Xu Wanwan patted her hand lightly and got up to walk out.

Liu Ru followed behind her, walking at a moderate pace and in a good mood.

Li Xuyi quickly followed her, entering the office together.

Inside the office, the head teacher and Xu Zhongyi had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing that Xu Wanwan had come in, Xu Zhongyi stood up without a word and wanted to hit her. “Xu Wanwan, how did I raise such a good-for-nothing like you!”

“Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused me at school? The Xu family has a very important partnership with the Liu family, but you’ve ruined it!”

Xu Wanwan stepped back just in time. If it weren’t for her quick reflexes, Xu Zhongyi’s palm would have already landed on her body.

Leaning against the wall and barely managing to stand up, she said coldly, “What are you doing here?”

He was no longer her father, so there was no need for him to step in at such an occasion.

“Isn’t your surname still Xu? Aren’t you still a member of the Xu family?” Xu Zhongyi let out a breath and said coldly, “Of course, I’m here today to discipline you.”

The counselor pulled Xu Zhongyi aside and tried to smooth things over. “It’s normal for a few children to have some disputes in the past. Let’s have a calm and peaceful talk.”

The head teacher, who was also Liu Ru’s father, looked at Xu Zhongyi with disdain. “You can’t just yell at your children. You have to be reasonable.”

“I know it’s wrong for Xu Wanwan to hit someone. I’ll ask her to apologize to you.” Xu Zhongyi bowed and no longer looked as arrogant as before.

“Xu Wanwan, quickly apologize to her!”

“I didn’t do anything wrong.” For a brief moment, Xu Wanwan suddenly wanted to rebel. She looked at these people expressionlessly and enunciated each word.

“What did you say?! Are you trying to anger me to death?” Xu Zhongyi clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, “Do you still think that you haven’t caused enough trouble for the Xu Family?”

Xu Wanwan’s gaze was calm and her tone was firm. “I’ll say it again. I didn’t do anything wrong. I won’t apologize.”

The head teacher adjusted his glasses and threw a demerit report on the table. “It’s alright if you don’t admit your mistake. The school will give you a disciplinary punishment.”

Xu Wanwan’s gaze had a touch of worry, but she did not relent.

Li Xuyi could not help but frown when he saw how stubborn she was.

Huh, she was quite unyielding.

He wanted to see how long she could remain firm.

Xu Wanwan turned her head. She insisted on sticking to the truth. “As you wish.”

The head teacher’s expression changed. “What kind of attitude is that?”

“Dad, that’s her temper. She refused to apologize even after pushing me away. She still refused to apologize even after hitting me today,” Liu Ru said, adding fuel to the fire. “She’s probably not afraid of being punished, right?”

The head teacher of education snorted coldly. “Then she’ll be given a demerit. She’ll be suspended from school and be dealt with. She’ll come back to the school when she has thought things through.”

Liu Ru was secretly excited. If Xu Wanwan was kicked out of the school this time, there’s a high chance that she would not come back.

Xu Zhongyi said in a low voice, “You can do whatever you want with her, but don’t bring the children’s grudges into the business.”

After he said that, he left dejectedly.

Xu Wanwan looked at this so-called father, at his ugly behavior of groveling to please others, and at his hypocritical look of not wanting to get implicated, her eyes were full of sarcasm.

How pathetic.

Her parents were not here to support her but were using the most indifferent attitude to deal with her.

The look in Xu Wanwan’s eyes was a bit chilly. She lowered her gaze and stared at the ground, feeling oppressed and stifled.

The head teacher did not even look at Xu Zhongyi. “Alright, this matter is decided. Xu Wanwan refuses to admit her mistake. From today onwards, there’s no longer any need for her to come to school anymore.”

With just one sentence, it seemed that all of her charges had been finalized.

“I haven’t even arrived yet, and the matter has already been settled?”

A cold and dignified voice suddenly sounded.

Xu Wanwan’s heart trembled as she raised her eyes toward the door.

Li Jingran, wearing a black shirt, was standing by the office door against the light. His eyes were deep and unfathomable, and he was exuding a powerful aura.

Li Xuyi’s mouth opened wide in surprise, and his voice changed. “Brother—how come you are here?”

Li Jingran’s face was gloomy. He glanced at Li Xuyi and found a seat to sit down. He said calmly, “I heard that my brother got into trouble at school. Tell me the details.”

The people inside the office were shocked by Li Jingran’s powerful aura. The counselor subconsciously glanced at the head director and stammered, “What happened? Well... It’s like this. Your brother caused another female to feel dissatisfaction when he helped another female classmate in his class.”

“That female classmate’s name is Xu Wanwan. She was not satisfied, so she turned over your brother’s desk and tore up his important things.”

“Your brother accidentally pushed her in a moment of anger.”

After saying that, the counselor carefully observed Li Jingran’s expression and did not dare to breathe loudly.

At this time, the head teacher also quickly added, “It’s like this. My daughter and Xu Wanwan ran for class monitor together. Xu Wanwan lost the election. It’s understandable that young children are competitive.”

“But Xu Wanwan not only pushed my daughter, but also destroyed all her classmates’ homework today. Fortunately, your brother stood up for justice and helped my daughter.”

“So... this matter has nothing to do with your brother. He is also innocent.”

Li Jingran glanced at him and said in a deep voice, “How is this okay?”

“This...”

“He hit someone. He should apologize.”

Hearing this, Liu Ru smoothly said, “Xu Wanwan also hit me, then she should apologize to me too!”

Li Jingran’s thin lips curled into a sarcastic smile. “Of course, you should be hit.”

Xu Wanwan suddenly looked up at the man.

Was he speaking up for her?

The head teacher was also stunned. “What do you mean... I really don’t understand.”

“It doesn’t matter, you’ll understand soon enough,” Li Jingran said lightly as he propped his elbow on the table.

At this moment, the head teacher received a call from the school affairs office, and his face suddenly changed.

After hanging up the phone, the head teacher stood up in a panic and said in a humble tone, “Director Li, I have no grudge against you. I don’t know when I offended you.”

“My people already warned you yesterday.” Li Jingran’s voice was terrifyingly cold.

The head teacher was in a trance. His legs weakened as he reluctantly defended himself. “Director Li, we know we were wrong. Our eyes weren’t open enough to know that we have offended your people. We deserve to die.”

After he finished speaking, he pulled Liu Ru over. “Quickly apologize to Director Li.”

“Dad, I’m clearly the victim here.” Liu Ru was being willful, pouting, and refusing to lower her head at all.

“Do you still want to stay in school? Apologize quickly!”

Liu Ru was unwilling, remaining silent for a long time.

Li Jingran narrowed his cold eyes and snapped his fingers.

The old butler of the Li family came in with a stack of documents. “Director Li, I’ve investigated everything.”

Li Jingran nodded. “Inform them.”

“We’ve checked the school’s surveillance cameras and found that Miss Xu has been in the study room all day and hasn’t been to the classroom.”
