Song Fan didn’t have any thoughts about them. It was fine as long as they didn’t disrupt her. If it weren’t for Mr. Wang always causing trouble, she wouldn’t have had him dismissed.

However, news of this incident quickly circulated throughout the school. The students were unaware that Mr. Wang’s resume was falsified.

They believed that he had offended Song Fan, and the principal had chosen to dismiss him due to Song Fan’s international teaching credentials.

Song Kai was incensed when he heard about this. He said, “Mr. Wang enjoyed oppressing students and preaching useless principles to us. He should have been dismissed long ago!”

Song Kai’s sentiments resonated with many students. Mr. Wang often expounded on the concept of success in class, implying that students were only valuable because they came from privileged backgrounds and were otherwise worthless in society.

Everyone had been holding grudges against him for a long time, but they hadn’t dared to voice their concerns out of respect for their teacher. Now, they were relieved not to have to listen to him anymore.

Upon hearing the news, Song Yin couldn’t help but smile. She was just worried that there was no reason for Song Fan to get criticism.

After class, she swiftly dialed Song Ting’s number and spoke with a concerned tone, “Big Brother, Sister had a conflict with Mr. Wang at school. The principal called them to the office for resolution. I didn’t expect Mr. Wang to be taken to the hospital. The principal mentioned he might dismiss Mr. Wang.”

She used these carefully chosen words, attempting to manipulate Song Ting into believing that Song Fan was in trouble once again.

After Song Ting hung up the phone, he rushed to Eke immediately and asked his assistant to call Song Fan out. He felt it wasn’t appropriate to reprimand her in front of her students.

However, despite the assistant’s search efforts in every classroom, he couldn’t locate Song Fan. He reported, “I’ve checked every classroom, but I haven’t seen Miss Song anywhere.”

Song Ting frowned when he heard this, suspecting that Song Fan might have skipped class.

At that moment, Song Fan was getting ready to head out for lunch. Her morning class had already concluded, and she unexpectedly encountered Song Ting on the school field.

Before could say anything, Song Ting furiously asked, “Why aren’t you in class right now? Why are you wandering around the field?”

Song Fan didn’t want to engage in an unnecessary argument. She was about to explain that she was a teacher, but then Song Yin approached them. Upon seeing Song Fan, Song Yin let out a long sigh and said, “I’m relieved that Sister is okay. I asked for permission to come find you. I heard about the fight with Mr. Wang in the principal’s office, and I was worried you might have gotten hurt.”

It further infuriated Song Ting by mentioning this incident. “What exactly happened? Why are you fighting in the principal’s office? Do you still have any self-awareness as a student?”

“Big Brother, please don’t judge Sister so harshly. There must be a reason for all of this,” Song Yin remarked thoughtfully.

“I’m beginning to think that maybe she doesn’t belong here anymore. It might be better for her to return to the countryside. Her presence would only lead to further trouble.” Song Ting sighed. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“In your opinion, I am not a good person. I haven’t even said a word yet, and you’re already convinced that I’m in the wrong.” Song Fan responded, her expression devoid of emotion.

Song Ting made an effort to compose himself. “You don’t seem to fit in here. Perhaps it’s better for you to return to the countryside. I’ll send you money regularly.”

Song Fan chuckled upon hearing this. “You’re quite presumptuous. I’ve been doing just fine all these years. I don’t need your financial support. Moreover, I’m already a teacher at Eke. I have no intention of going back.”

Song Ting was a bit perplexed upon hearing the word ‘teaching’. He asked, “Are you a teacher at Eke?”

Song Fan didn’t respond and simply regarded him in silence. Song Ting turned to look at Song Yin. Song Yin stuttered, “Sister is indeed a teacher.”

Song Ting hadn’t expected Song Fan to become a teacher. He understood that Eke wasn’t a place where mattered one’s social status. Even though Song Fan was the eldest daughter of the Song Family, she couldn’t mess around. So, she definitely had the competence as a teacher.

This starkly contrasted with his previous perception of Song Fan as ignorant and incompetent. Song Ting found himself in a daze. It seemed that Song Fan had transformed from his previous impression.

Just then, Song Kai rushed over from the other side of the field, his tone anxious. “I just heard that Mr. Wang tried to strike you with a vase. Are you hurt?”

Song Ting was alarmed upon hearing this. “How dare he try to use a vase against you? Where did he hit you?”

“I’m fine,” Song Fan assured them with a wave of her hand. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way.”

“Are you going for lunch?” Song Kai turned to look at Song Ting. “Big Brother, are you here to pick up Song Fan for lunch?”

Song Ting nodded and said, “I’m here to pick you all up for lunch.”

It naturally included Song Fan. She wasn’t particularly eager to go, but Song Kai insisted and pulled her into the car. Since she was very hungry, she didn’t refuse and regarded it as a free meal.

Along the way, there was an awkward silence, with the exception of Song Kai. No one was certain about Song Ting’s thoughts, but he kept his gaze fixed on Song Fan..
