“You know that’s not what I meant,” sighed Zheng Anyang. “Are you really planning to take leave? And it’s for a month and a half.”
“l truly have something important,” replied Ye Lengan after a moment of thought. “l can’t disclose the details, but taking this leave is necessary. Besides, after the incident yesterday, I think temporarily leaving the school is a good idea.”
Given Ye Leng’an’s statement, Zheng Anyang had no grounds to object. He nodded and sighed, “There’s been too much happening lately. Yesterday’s events caused quite a stir, and it might not settle down for a long time. Taking a temporary break from school at this point might indeed be a good thing.” Having said that, Zheng Anyang signed the leave request.
“Principal, what’s the plan for dealing with yesterday’s incident?” Ye Lengan suddenly inquired. “Is there no resentment from Ye Xiyuan’s family?”
“Hmph, this matter ultimately has little to do with the school.”
Zheng Anyangs expression darkened as he continued, “We’ve thoroughly investigated the situation. Li Qiaomeng was allowed into the campus because the security checked with Ye Xiyuan. They let her in only after receiving a positive response from Ye Xiyuan. I wonder how things between Ye Xiyuan and Li Qiaomeng soured to lead to such an event.”
“Dealing with the Ye family won’t be easy.” Ye Lengan shook her head. “So, I believe the school needs to be prepared.”
“We’ve already consulted with a lawyer yesterday.” Zheng Anyang nodded, offering a reminder. “The school should be fine, and even if the Ye family wants to cause trouble, we have a plan. But for you, be cautious. I’m concerned the Ye family might turn their anger towards you, especially considering…”
Yesterday, Li Qiaomeng explicitly mentioned that Ye Lengan should replace Ye Xiyuan. The Ye family might blame Ye Lengan for the situation.
“If they want to find trouble with me, let them.” Ye Lengan shrugged, indifferent. “l don’t feel I did anything wrong in this matter. Besides, why do they think I should be the one to bring Ye Xiyuan back?”
“The Ye family isn’t known for being reasonable,” sighed Zheng Anyang, facepalming. “So, it’s highly likely they’ll cause trouble for you.”
Having dealt with the Ye family several times before, Zheng Anyang had a clear understanding of their character. Their existing bias against Ye Lengan, combined with the current situation, meant they might shift the blame entirely onto Ye Lengan.
“If they come looking for trouble, I’m not afraid,” smirked Ye Leng’an. “l just wonder if they have the capability.”
Hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Zheng Anyang immediately recalled Huangfu Ruiling standing behind Ye Lengan. He nodded in agreement. “True. In your presence, they won’t accomplish anything positive.”
Ye Lengan, not understanding the dynamics, didn’t press for an explanation as Zheng Anyang didn’t seem inclined to provide one.
Picking up the signed leave slip, Ye Lengan prepared to leave. However, before she could exit, she noticed the door to the principal’s office swinging open.
Seeing the person entering, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but furrow her brows. It was none other than the Ye family members they had just been discussing.
Zheng Anyang heard the commotion too. He frowned and, looking at the Ye family, expressed his displeasure.
What did the Ye family think they were doing? They didn’t even bother to knock or seek permission before barging in. It was as if they completely disregarded him.
“Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, may I ask what urgent matter brings you here today?” Zheng Anyang didn’t stand up. He simply raised his head, offering a faint smile to Ye Li and Lin Wanqin. “Are you in such a hurry that you’ve forgotten the most basic etiquette?”
Hearing the sarcasm in Zheng Anyangs words, Ye Li and Lin Wanqin’s expressions soured. They weren’t fools; they understood that Zheng Anyang was mocking their earlier failure to knock on the door..
