Chapter 2926: Why Haven’t You Been Attending School?

Perhaps Principal Li had acted out of a sense of repayment, but enrolling the siblings in an aristocratic school only made their lives harder.

They were from a different social class altogether.

“Why haven’t you been attending school?” Principal Li asked Ning Shu.

Ning Shu motioned for Yi Xiaodong to go back inside. He obediently gathered the items around her feet and carried them into the house.

“Why aren’t you going to school?” Principal Li asked again, his expression helpless.

Ning Shu didn’t believe that an aristocratic school principal would come all the way to this dirty, impoverished place just to ask about her school attendance.

In any case, she had no desire to return to school. Going there only meant being tormented by those three.

“I don’t want to go to school anymore. That place isn’t for me,” Ning Shu replied.

“No, you must go to school,” Principal Li said, his tone growing more urgent.

Ning Shu: …

Why was he so insistent?

“I don’t want to study anymore,” Ning Shu shook her head. She was tired of being tormented by those three psychopaths, whose methods were cruel and horrifying.

They didn’t want to kill her outright, but they played with her like how a cat toyed with a mouse, trampling her dignity and breaking her spirit.

That school was a place where only the strong survived, and the Yi siblings were like defenseless snails suddenly thrown into a world of dinosaurs.

“Why must I go to school?” Ning Shu asked in return, finding it absurd that she was being forced to attend school.

Principal Li replied, “It’s not easy to get into an aristocratic school. You should seize this opportunity to build connections. You don’t want to spend your whole life picking up trash, do you?”

“I can’t build connections. Nobody even acknowledges me,” Ning Shu said bluntly, shrugging. Social networks were formed among people of the same status.

It would already be a blessing if she didn’t get bullied, let alone make connections. The idea of it was laughable.

To put it more bluntly, in the eyes of those wealthy young masters and ladies, she was probably no better than a pile of dog feces.

There was no good outcome in trying to cozy up to them.

Ning Shu began to become suspicious of why Principal Li was so adamant about her returning to school.

“You must go,” Principal Li said firmly, noticing her suspicious gaze. “After you fought with those three, they demanded that you return.”

Ning Shu: …

They were determined to force her back just to continue bullying her.

“You can’t beat them. Just endure it. Even if they bully you, just bear with it. Once they lose interest, they’ll stop bothering you,” Principal Li said, sounding both helpless and exasperated.

Even though he was the principal, his position was awkward. Many students didn’t respect him.

The aristocratic school was jointly funded, and he, as principal, didn’t have much decision-making power.

Ning Shu: I can’t believe this…

So, it turns out those three were still holding a grudge because she embarrassed them yesterday, and now they wanted payback.

They wouldn’t stoop to coming to such a place themselves, so they pressured the principal to get her back to school, where they could bully her openly.

“I’m not going,” Ning Shu refused.

Why would she walk into a trap just to be bullied? That would be pathetic.

“If you don’t go, I won’t be able to stay on as principal. And do you really think you’ll be safe just because you don’t go to school?” Principal Li asked, growing anxious.

Ou Haoxuan had given him strict orders to get Ning Shu back. If he didn’t, he would lose his job as principal.

That was why he had come all the way to this poor neighborhood to ask Ning Shu to return to school.

“Mu Yeyao’s family has military connections, and Min Haochu and Ou Haoxuan have plenty of bodyguards. Do you think hiding here will protect you?”

“Rich people can make your life unbearable, trapping you with no way out. Trust me, you’re better off doing as I say,” Principal Li advised.
