"Teacher He, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I won't take back the lawyer's letter. I, Nan Qiao, will keep my word. I would never step back after deciding on something."
"Hey, you child…" Just as Teacher He was about to reprimand Nan Qiao, she had already turned around and left the office, angering Teacher He.
When Li Tiantian heard Nan Qiao's words, she cried even harder, "Teacher, I didn't taunt her. My att.i.tude has always been very good. I didn't mock her at all. Nan Qiao is lying."
"Teacher, you have to help me uphold justice. If you don't help me, I'll really have to die."
Li Tiantian cried and could not speak clearly. These two sentences were only understood by Teacher He after spending a Herculean effort.
Teacher He leaned back in his chair in frustration. What was going on?
Previously, he had said that Nan Qiao had become an easy person to get along with. In the end, she was still as willful and mischievous as before. It was really hard to know what to do.
It seemed that they could only invite Nan Qiao's parents to settle this matter once and for all. Surely the parents could not be so unreasonably biased towards Nan Qiao, right?
Hence, Teacher He immediately called Nan Qiao's parents.
"Hey, Teacher He, did something happen? Did our Zhizhi get bullied in school?" He Qian's heart was in her throat as she asked anxiously.
Teacher He hesitated for a moment. "It's about Nan Qiao."
"Then Teacher He, I'm afraid you called the wrong number. Nan Qiao is no longer a child of our Nan family. She has nothing to do with us at all. Since it's not about Zhizhi, I still have something on. I'll hang up first."
With that, He Qian hung up, not giving the teacher a chance to speak.
Teacher He was speechless. Previously, He Qian looked like an easy-going mother. Why had she become like this?
Sigh, it was a headache. Last time, she heard from Nan Qiao that her brother was the one sending her to school. He could only think of a way to see if he could contact Nan Qiao's brother.
During lunch, everyone saw a big piece of news.
[The eldest daughter of Shengjing Group has returned to inherit the family business!]
There was only a photo of her back, and it did not capture her face at all, so they did not know who the Eldest Miss was. However, she looked like a student.
"Who's so lucky? That's the Shengjing Group!"
"The eldest daughter of Shengjing Group can do whatever she wants with her status, right? Who would dare to provoke her?"
"I admit I'm sour."
"Who exactly is the Eldest Miss? Is it too late for me to be friends with her now?"
Everyone spoke one after another. Everyone in the canteen was discussing this matter at noon today. Only Nan Qiao was not interested at all. When she heard this news, her hand paused.
"The Eldest Miss of Shengjing Group, isn't this equivalent to a moving mountain of gold? If there's a chance, I must be friends with her!" Flames burned in An Nuo's eyes, as if she was determined to win.
"Oh? Is someone like her very impressive?" Nan Qiao asked with a smile.
"Of course, that's Shengjing Group, the second largest corporation in the country. But anyone with a little family background knows that it's actually comparable to the number one corporation, Zhenxing Corporation. Zhenxing Corporation has been in a bad state all these years, but Shengjing Group has been thriving. It's just that the rankings are refreshed every five years and it isn't time yet."
"I heard that after the chairman of the Shengjing Group pa.s.sed away, all his a.s.sets were left to his only granddaughter. Isn't that huge? A moving mountain of gold…"
An Nuo crossed her arms in front of her chest in a praying manner. She had to pray that she would meet the Eldest Miss sooner.
"It's not that exaggerated." Nan Qiao's facial features shrank, and she was a little embarra.s.sed.
"Eh? Don't you usually ignore such gossip? Why are you suddenly so interested today? Could it be that you're the eldest daughter of the Shengjing Group?" An Nuo sized up Nan Qiao suspiciously.
Recalling that the cars used to send Nan Qiao to school in the morning were all worth tens of millions, An Nuo became even more suspicious. Could it really be Nan Qiao?
"Heh, what a joke. Who doesn't know that Nan Qiao is a stray dog chased out of the Nan family? Eldest Miss? How funny," someone pa.s.sed by and retorted.
"Even if it's not Nan Qiao, it can't be you. Shut your filthy mouth." An Nuo had already planned to be on Nan Qiao's side and thus could not tolerate others bullying her.
Seeing An Nuo protecting her like this, Nan Qiao's heart warmed. It seemed that her brother was not the only reliable person by her side.
… .
When the news of this afternoon spread, almost everyone in the country knew that the eldest daughter of the Shengjing Group had returned. Everyone was shocked.
The group chat which included Murong Chen and his brothers was in turn even more chaotic!
Second Brother: "Why didn't you inform us when you brought her back?"
Third Brother: "Hurry up and send her photos over for us to identify."
Fourth Brother: "For Grandpa's sake, I'll treat her well."
Fifth Brother: "I don't want to see her. It's best if you don't ask me to bring her around."
Feeling the phone in his pocket vibrating non-stop, Murong Chen frowned slightly. Only those brothers would dare to spam his cell phone like this. Hence, he picked up his cell phone and saw Fifth Brother's last sentence. He replied directly.
Murong Chen: "There's no need for you to bring her around. I'll do it myself."
The other brothers: ???
Didn't Murong Chen always hate taking care of children?
Why didn't he despise and hate them now? Instead, they felt like he wanted to cut ties with them.
* * *
Teacher He knew that Nan Qiao's brother would come every afternoon to pick her up, so he waited at the school gate. Indeed, before school ended, he saw a low-key luxury car waiting at the gate.
Although this car was very low-key and inconspicuous, the little golden man logo on the car still displayed a n.o.ble aura.
Murong Chen insisted on picking up Nan Qiao every day and would complete all his work in the car. Therefore, when Teacher He came to knock on the gla.s.s, Murong Chen looked up with an unfriendly gaze.
He lowered the window.
The man's handsome face could not suppress his cold and arrogant gaze, which was like a knife.
Teacher He shivered and immediately revealed his ident.i.ty. "I'm Nan Qiao's form teacher. I want to discuss something with you."
Hearing this, Murong Chen's expression relaxed. He opened the car door and followed the form teacher into the school.
As he walked beside Murong Chen, the form teacher's forehead was covered in sweat. This man was extraordinarily tall. The pressure from him was so strong that he could not breathe.
"Something happened to Nan Qiao recently…"
The homeroom teacher told Murong Chen everything and waited for his answer.
Murong Chen looked down at the form teacher, then narrowed his eyes and said, "I think Nan Qiao did the right thing. There's no room for negotiation. We shall talk in court."
The form teacher: ???
I asked you to criticize her, not to agree with her!
