Chapter 464: Complaint
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“No, it’s Ye Xiyuan who deserved it,” Ye Lengan said calmly. She didn’t seem to be angry at all and even added with a smile, “She was the one who initiated the physical confrontation, so if she got hit, it’s her own doing.”
“Ye Lengan, you…” Lin Wanqin was frustrated. She took a step forward and raised her hand as if to slap Ye Lengan, but when she met her icy gaze, she froze, unable to bring herself to follow through with the action.
Ye Leng’an’s eyes were cold, carrying a hint of chilling determination. “Mrs. Ye, haven’t you learned from Ye Xiyuan’s example? We have no relationship now. If you dare to hit me, I will retaliate. Don’t blame me if I have to be forceful.’
Lin Wanqin’s hand remained suspended, unable to make the decisive strike, but she was equally unwilling to back down. She stood there, caught in an uncertain dilemma.
“Mrs. Ye, this is a school,” Zheng Anyang interjected. “Ye Lengan is a student of our school, and regardless of right or wrong, it’s not your place to intervene. If you make a move here, don’t blame us for being stern.”
With Zheng Anyang taking a firm stance, Lin Wanqin reluctantly lowered her hand.
“Now that the matter is resolved, Mrs. Ye, please leave,” Zheng Anyang instructed her. “As for Li Deze, if you have no further business here, return to your class. Causing such a commotion instead of attending classes is unacceptable. ”
Hearing Zheng Anyangs words, Li Deze couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
He knew that the principal was displeased with him because of this incident.
So, at this point, he couldn’t afford to challenge the principal any further. After a quick farewell, Li Deze left the principal’s office.
Lin Wanqin didn’t leave immediately. She glanced at Zheng Anyang, her tone revealing a sense of dissatisfaction. “Principal Zheng, are we just going to let this matter slide? Ye Lengan hit Xiyuan, which is a fact. Shouldn’t we investigate an act of violence on campus?”
“If you acknowledge that committing violence on campus is wrong, why did Ye Xiyuan initiate the physical confrontation?” Zheng Anyang responded with impatience. “You just witnessed it. Ye Xiyuan was the one who started it. If you insist on pursuing this matter, I will have to take action against Ye Xiyuan for initiating the altercation.”
Zheng Anyang had lost his patience with Lin Wanqin’s persistent questioning. He was also unhappy with Ye Xiyuan for causing this trouble, and he made it clear.
Upon hearing Zheng Anyangs unsparing words, Lin Wanqin’s face turned grim, and her tone sharpened as she responded, ‘Principal Zheng, is your decision truly fair?”
“If you find it unfair, you can always have Ye Xiyuan transfer to another school,” Zheng Anyang retorted. “As for you, if you wish to file a complaint with the Education Bureau, you are welcome to do so. However, let me remind you: Sheng’an is a private school. I am not appointed by the Education Bureau but by the board of directors. So, if you aim to have me removed from my position, you should approach the board of directors, not the Education Bureau.”
Lin Wanqin’s expression alternated between pale and red in response to
Zheng Anyangs stern words. Her tone softened as she spoke, “Principal
Zheng, please don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean that.”
She naturally couldn’t go to the board of directors. Shengan High School was an elite institution, and the members of the board of directors were not people she could easily meet. Moreover, Zheng Anyangs position as principal was backed by influential figures. Even if she did approach them, it would be futile.
Furthermore, she had only come today to seek justice for Xiyuan and had no intention of transferring her daughter to another school.
“Mrs. Ye, if there’s nothing else, please leave.” Zheng Anyang pointed towards the door, making it clear that he wanted her to depart. “l have other matters to attend to, and I won’t be able to accommodate you any further.”
This clear indication to leave made Lin Wanqin’s expression unpleasant. However, given the current circumstances, if she continued to push the matter, Xiyuan might indeed be expelled from school. Reluctantly, she departed.
Before leaving, she couldn’t help but issue a threat to Ye Leng’an. “Ye Leng’an, we’ll see how this unfolds. I won’t let you off for how you treated Xiyuan.” After making this sharp remark, she left angrily.
Ye Lengan shrugged her shoulders indifferently, not even sparing a glance at Lin Wanqin. Clearly, she didn’t take her threat seriously.
Fortunately, Lin Wanqin had left, or she would have been infuriated by Ye Leng’an’s nonchalant attitude.
“You!” Zheng Anyang looked at Ye Lengan and couldn’t help but rub his forehead. He said with a hint of exasperation, “Can’t you just behave yourself?
There’s only half a year left. Can’t you spend it peacefully?”
“Principal, this matter truly had nothing to do with me,” Ye Lengan replied, smiling and defending herself. “You saw it yourself. I had no intention of getting involved with Ye Xiyuan. Now, the other party has been relentless in pursuing me.”
Zheng Anyang shook his head helplessly, well aware of the history between Ye Lengan and Ye Xiyuan. “You two have quite a complicated relationship! If this happens a few more times, 1 might actually grow a few more white hairs.”
“It’s fine,” Ye Lengan said with a smile. “Principal, you’re still young. Your hair won’t turn white.’
Zheng Anyang couldn’t help but chuckle at Ye Leng’an’s response. He waved his hand and said, “Alright, go back to class! You rarely visit the school, and it’s time for your teachers to see you. Otherwise, they might forget you are their student.’
Ye Lengan left the principal’s office without further comments.
At that moment, Ye Xiyuan, who was at home, remained unaware of the situation at the school. She sat in her room, feeling bewildered and unsure of how to proceed.
Since her rebirth, she had relied on the system for guidance. However, Ye Lengan had just informed her that the system had been destroyed. She couldn’t come to terms with this reality.
So, after returning to her room, she continued to call out for the system, hoping to hear its mechanical voice once again..
