Chapter 78: Drop Out Of School
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“May I ask what your relationship with Shengjing Group is?” Shi Long almost held his breath when he asked, afraid that he would miss the other party’s answer if he took a breath.
“Our President is the head of Shengjing Group,” a.s.sistant w.a.n.g Tao replied from behind with an air of arrogance.
Hearing this answer, Shi Long staggered. If not for the teacher’s desk behind him, he would have fallen.
The Murong family could turn the tables with a raise of their hands or stomp of their feet. Countless companies in An City could close down if they wanted.
He didn’t expect Nan Qiao to be related to such a family.
Why hadn’t he heard of it before?
“Mr. Murong, it’s really a coincidence that the children of our families can go to school together. I think there must be a misunderstanding for Mr. Murong to come here today,” Shi Long said obsequiously. In his heart, he did blame himself for not clarifying the situation before making a move. How did he provoke such a malignant star!
“Wenwen, hurry up and apologize to Nanqiao. You’re all cla.s.smates. What’s the big deal?” Shi Long pushed his daughter forward and signaled her urgently.
“I’m not apologizing. Why should I apologize? Dad, she was the one who hit me just now. She should be the one apologizing to me.” Shi Wenwen still didn’t know the seriousness of the matter and still hated Nan Qiao.
Her slap just now hurt so much that her face was probably swollen. What was wrong with her father? Not only did he not stand up for her, but he also wanted her to apologize to Nan Qiao.
“Apologize now!” Shi Long slapped his daughter’s back angrily. He pressed Shi Wenwen’s head and made her lower her head to apologize to Nan Qiao.
“Nan Qiao, we didn’t understand the situation just now. I hope you can forgive Wenwen.”
After saying that, Shi Long tried to look at the man beside him. He realized that this man’s expression had not changed at all, but his gaze had been on the girl. He was sad and happy, as if as long as Nan Qiao forgave them, he would not pursue the matter.
w.a.n.g Tao sneered behind them and silently prayed for them.
The consequences of provoking the President were usually very miserable, but those who provoked Missy would be repeatedly fried and tortured by the President!
“Why should I apologize? I didn’t do anything wrong! Dad, what’s wrong with you?” Shi Wenwen was used to being spoiled. She had never known what an apology was since she was young. Now, she was actually asked to apologize to a commoner. She couldn’t do it.
Shi Long hated his daughter for not catching his hint.
Murong Chen and Nan Qiao looked at each other. Perhaps because he knew what Nan Qiao was thinking, he said, “You don’t have to look at me. You can make the decisions as you wish.”
His sister could do whatever she wanted. It was entirely up to her to decide whether to let them off.
Upon hearing this, Shi Long’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley. It was as if he was submerged in seawater, and his hands and feet were cold.
Nan Qiao was just a child. What would she know?
If she did not let Wenwen off, wouldn’t his company be finished?
Shi Long’s face flushed red after weighing the pros and cons. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger. He lowered his head and apologized to Nan Qiao.
“Nan Qiao, I’m sorry. I didn’t teach my daughter well. I hope you can be lenient and forgive Wenwen.”
Of course, Nan Qiao knew that the change in Shi Long was because of her Big Brother’s arrival, but Shi Wenwen had insulted her mother, so that was unforgivable!
“I can’t forgive you, but as long as your daughter drops out of school, I’ll let bygones be bygones.”
Shi Wenwen wanted to flare up again, but Shi Long held her hand tightly and refused to let her speak.
“Alright, I’ll go through the withdrawal procedures now.”
Just like that, the farce ended.
Nan Qiao and her Big Brother walked out of the office together. Thinking that cla.s.s was about to end, she couldn’t let everyone see her Big Brother, so she said, “Big Brother, you can go back first. You don’t have to pick me up personally in the afternoon. I want to buy something myself. It might be a little late then so you can just get the chauffeur to pick me up.”
Nan Qiao suppressed her thoughts.
If her Big Brother kept protecting her, how could He Qian do anything?
Not long after Nan Qiao returned to cla.s.s, Shi Wenwen also returned.
Shi Wenwen must have been taught a lesson by Shi Long. When she saw Nan Qiao, her eyes were filled with hatred and fear.
She quickly packed her things and left.
Nan Qiao was gone for a long time. After cla.s.s, someone sneaked into the office to eavesdrop and found out that Shi Wenwen’s father was here.
But now, Shi Wenwen had packed her things and left with her school bag. She did not even leave a book behind. This situation was very abnormal.
An Nuo poked Nan Qiao’s shoulder. “What’s going on? What did you do?”
“Nothing. I just dropped her out of school.”
Nan Qiao’s att.i.tude was cold as she focused her thoughts on this afternoon.
She wondered if He Qian would seize this opportunity to take action. She didn’t want to waste the opportunity she had specially given her.
He Qian left the house early in the morning and drove somewhere. Only Nan Xuan and Nan Jin were at home.
Nan Jin rubbed his aching head and went downstairs. He had been thinking of ways to find out how to contact his younger sister, but according to his investigations over the past two days, his Little Sister’s life was a two-point line.
She was either at home or at school. He had no way of interacting with his Little Sister at all. It was very difficult to talk to her. He had to think of a way to talk to her.
“Nan Jin, let’s talk.”
Nan Jin paused for a moment and turned around. He did not notice that there was another person downstairs.
“I have nothing to talk to you about.” Nan Jin took a bottle of drink and drank it.
When he thought about how he had only hurt his Little Sister like Nan Xuan did in the past, he did not know who was the more pathetic one.
“Why did you change so much? Didn’t you love Zhi Zhi the most in the past? Why have you become like this now?”
Nan Xuan felt that there had to be a reason, right?
Nan Jin did not know what to say. Thinking of his past self, he wholeheartedly believed that as long as Nan Zhi said it, it was as if he had to listen to her orders. Everything was so ridiculous and atrocious. He really despised himself.
“There are some things you’ll find out in the future.” Even if he explained now, it would not make sense.
Nan Xuan felt that there was something in his body that had been torturing him. Unconsciously, Nan Qiao’s words lingered in his heart, and the recording at that time…
But on the other hand, he felt that he should believe that Zhi Zhi was innocent.
But no matter what, the most important thing now was to protect Zhi Zhi.
“Nan Jin, can you go and plead with Nan Qiao? Get Nan Qiao to withdraw the lawsuit and not sue Zhi Zhi. That way, Zhi Zhi’s crimes will be lighter.”
Nan Jin had been very touched at first, because it had been a long time since the two brothers had spoken so calmly. However, when he heard Nan Xuan’s next words, he was furious..
