129 Repaying Kindness With Ingratitude

Qiao Qiao gestured. “Give me your hand.”

Han Xiangdong glanced at Le Yao.

Le Yao nodded.

Han Xiangdong reached out.

Qiao Qiao checked his pulse. “Yes, he’s really fine.”

Le Yao knew that Qiao Qiao also knew Chinese medicine. If she said that he was fine, then he was definitely fine. Then, she stopped forcing him. She only instructed Han Xiangdong to tell her if he felt uncomfortable.

Han Xiangdong hurriedly nodded.

After that, the group of people went to the hotpot restaurant for a while. It was even more enjoyable to eat hotpot in the summer.

The atmosphere in the West Mountain villa was not so good.

As soon as they returned, Cui Li was like a faucet that had opened the floodgates. She scolded Han Guosheng, “You really raised a good daughter. She’re siding with an outsider. How are you a father? Why are you so cowardly?”

Han Guosheng felt his head buzz, but he couldn’t flare up. He could only endure it patiently. “I told you long ago that she’s out of my control now.”

Cui Li didn’t say anything else. After a moment of silence, she said, “Alright, we’ll be staying in a hotel for the next two days. Hurry up.” With that, she pulled her daughter away.

Han Xueqian originally wanted to tell Han Guosheng about going out, but she didn’t dare to say anything now that she encountered such a situation. However, her mind was racing. How could she trick that wretched girl into going to the hospital?

The next day was Friday. The graduation ceremony would begin at 9:30 in the morning. Then, the counselors of each subject would assign some holiday homework. In the afternoon, they would begin their summer vacation.

Le Yao woke up early in the morning and specially made a big cake and a large box of cookies. She sent them to the principal’s office before graduation. “It’s the holidays. I probably won’t have time to make pastries for you, so I made more. Don’t let the cookies get wet. They can stay for a week.”

“You’re a good student.” Ma Lin smiled kindly. “To thank you for your filial piety, I’ve also prepared a gift for you.” As he spoke, he stood up and dragged out a snake skin bag from the cabinet.

Le Yao immediately had a bad feeling.

“Here are 100 sets of simulation questions.” Ma Lin smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. “20 of them are pre-study, and the rest are for consolidation...”

The corners of Le Yao’s mouth twitched. She wanted to cry.

“You’re so touched that you’re crying? Aiya, there’s no need to be so excited. After all, I’m a good principal.” Ma Lin patted Le Yao’s shoulder. “I think highly of you. Remember to give them to me when school starts. I’ll mark them.”

“Principal, you’re repaying kindness with ingratitude.” Le Yao wanted to leave, but she didn’t dare.

“You flatter me.” Ma Lin picked up a piece of biscuit and put it in his mouth. “Your cooking is really getting better and better. Remember to bake some almond-flavored biscuits next time. I like it...”

Le Yao rolled her eyes at the old man and left with the snake skin bag.

Ma Lin watched from the window as the girl walked away. Then, he picked up the phone and dialed a number. “Ah Jue, you’ve really put in a lot of effort... What? The snacks she made? No.” With that, he hung up.

Hmph, trying to snatch his dessert? Not only was there no way, but the windows would also be blocked.

Nangong Jue listened to the sudden beeping sound from the phone. He didn’t even have the mood to read the novel anymore.

“Boss, tomorrow is the Zhao family’s banquet.” Fang Ming entered and handed over an exquisite invitation. “This is the invitation. Secretary Zheng personally sent it over.”
