Tang Wei told them what the other party wanted!
âYou think that the cancellation of Qiao Chenâs award is the end of it? Didnât you hear them ask whether weâre bullying Qiao Nian because no one is doting on her?â
He Yujuan recalled now. âYou mean that young man?â
She hadnât taken much notice of that young man.
As compared to this young man she had never seen...
She was more worried about that ingrateâs biological father. She hadnât expected Qiao Nianâs father from Luohe County to be a part of the powerful Jiang family.
This Jiang family had been slowly moving their base to Beijing. But they still had much power in Rao Cityâmore than enough to deal with them.
As for that young man...
He Yujuan casually said, âThat man is probably Qiao Nianâs lover... he should be studying at this age, but heâs out there using his looks to get girls.â
Lover? Tang Wei was about to laugh, but she simply wasnât in the mood for that now. The tips of her lips were still pulled downwards as her fingers rapidly worked through the beads on her bracelet. âLet me give you some advice. Since Qiao Nian is giving you two options, youâd better think carefully and pick one. Donât think of getting away with it. This isnât something that you can settle with an apology or some money. If you can get away with this by breaking a leg or losing your Ren Yi placing, you should already be offering your thanks at the temple...â
âThat serious?â He Yujuan didnât realize how serious things were. She frowned in slight disbelief. âThe Tang family...â
Ha, she was still bringing up the Tang family. Tang Weiâs heart raced and she almost pulled the beaded bracelet apart. She squeezed some words from her throat softly, âItâd be a blessing if the Tang family isnât dragged down by you. Stop thinking that we can save you, we can barely save ourselves now.â
The moment she said this, He Yujuan slumped back on the couch and mumbled in shock and confusion, âHow did it get so serious?â
Tang Wei had known her for decades and they were still friends. Otherwise, she wouldnât be sitting here with them by now. Upon hearing that, she sighed and looked up at Qiao Chen again, who now had red and swollen eyes. She said, âAlso, after youâve made your choice, you should transfer Qiao Chen to another school. Out of sight, out of mind. If they donât see her, they might just let her off.â
Qiao Chenâs head snapped up in shock. She clenched her teeth so hard, they were just short of shattering.
Her heart was almost beating out of her chest. She couldnât accept Tang Weiâs suggestion.
It was bad enough that she had to give up her place in Ren Yi. Now, she couldnât even stay in Rao Cityâs First High School?
Tang Wei didnât care what she thought. If not for He Yujuanâs pitiful plea, she wouldnât even have brought these suggestions up.
âThe Qiao Family is about to go bankrupt, you people better get ready!â
...
The following day in Rao Cityâs First High School.
Qiao Weimin came with Qiao Chen to settle the paperwork for her transfer.
They went to the office as they had to inform the principal of it.
After making their intention known, Principal Yu revealed a shocked expression. However, he didnât try to keep them. He simply said, âQiao Chen has always been a student with excellent grades and is also a talented artist. The school regrets to see her go, but I respect your decision!â
He turned around and kindly said to the girl whose eyes were still puffy, âYouâve got to study hard at your new school. Youâre already in your third year, I believe youâll be able to get into a good university with your results.â
Despite knowing that Principal Yu might be saying this out of civility and to comfort her, Qiao Chen still felt her nose scrunch up as she choked on her words. She clenched her fists tightly and thanked him. â...Thank you, Principal Yu.â
