Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Consequences You Can’t Afford!

Jiang Zhe let Xiao ng sit down and handed her two pieces of chewing gum.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, Xiaozhe,” Xiao ng cried with red-rimd eyes, “Lan Lan and the others were envious of

before, saying that they wanted to study hard and, just like , rely on their own abilities to get into Number One Middle School… If Mrs. Chen really follows through, and Number One Middle School stops admitting any kids like that, did I bring trouble to many other kids? They still have so many dreams to fulfill, and they also have the right to chase their dreams…”

“What are you afraid of when I’m here?” Jiang Zhe asked.

Xiao ng stopped crying: “But Mrs. Chen has a lot of clout…”

“So what? Do you believe in

or her?”

Of course, Xiao ng believed in Jiang Zhe.

But however amazing Jiang Zhe might be, how could he possibly contend with those people?

It was all her own fault.

Jiang Zhe unwrapped a tissue and handed it to Xiao ng.

A small gesture, a look from Jiang Zhe, was enough to calm Xiao ng down.

“Wait for

here.”

Jiang Zhe stepped out and dialed Qin Jingchen’s number.

The call was picked up almost instantly.

“Jiang Zhe?” Qin Jingchen’s voice ca through, exuding nobility with an undercurrent of warmth.

“It’s . There’s sothing I want to ask for your help with.”

“My pleasure,” Qin Jingchen’s voice carried a hint of light amusent.

“I want a lawyer to teach so people how to spell the word ‘slander’.”

Qin Jingchen sounded amused: “It seems that so people really don’t know how to spell ‘courting death’.”

So liveliness flickered in Jiang Zhe’s normally cold fox-like eyes.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Lou Qiaoyin also ca over.

“It’s all good, the situation hasn’t blown up,” said Lou Qiaoyin with a face full of relief. “After Mrs. Chen left, she really did try to get in touch with others to initiate a joint complaint. But thankfully, we managed to dissuade her.”

Jiang Zhe nodded indifferently: “That’s good.”

It appeared that Qin Jingchen’s actions were even quicker than he had thought.

“But Mrs. Chen and her people won’t be easily appeased. They say that Xiao ng’s academic performance has been too poor on several occasions, and she simply doesn’t deserve to stay in Number One Middle School, adversely affecting other students… They’re deliberately picking on Xiao ng. With the monthly exams coming up, we argued strongly and eventually ca up with a compromise.”

“What is it?” Xiao ng asked eagerly.

“According to Mrs. Chen, we’ve agreed that if you score six hundred points in this monthly exam, they’ll drop the matter. If you don’t, you’ll have to transfer schools, and they will continue to lobby for a policy to prevent Number One Middle School from admitting any students from an orphanage, or with an orphanage background,” explained Lou Qiaoyin cautiously, but she knew in her heart that so people’s family background could indeed influence certain policies.

Besides, many normal families and students inevitably have so biases against orphans, and when the ti cos, those supporting Mrs. Chen will surely be in greater numbers.

Xiao ng simply clenched her fingers and bit her lip.

She could only look to Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe remained calm throughout, as if this was no big deal.

Xiao ng’s heart gradually steadied as well.

“I’m sorry, I failed to protect my student,” Lou Qiaoyin was full of guilt, having just strongly argued the case.

Though Mrs. Chen wasn’t as uncommunicative as she had been before, her attitude was still very determined.

Lou Qiaoyin also feared that she might escalate things, causing trouble for Xiao ng, so in the end, she had reluctantly agreed. “But this isn’t the final decision, if you disagree, I will continue to fight on your behalf…”

“It’s my fault, I’m sorry, Ms. Lou,” Xiao ng apologized, knowing Ms. Lou must have already done her best, blaming herself.

“Don’t bla yourself; there must be another way.”

Xiao ng, not wanting to put her in a tough spot, said with difficulty, “I’ll just agree to this promise! I’ll study hard and do well.”

“This… Xiao ng, scoring six hundred is not so easy.”

“I want to try.” Xiao ng promptly agreed.

“Then you should head back first. As for the promise to score six hundred, I…”

“No problem.” Jiang Zhe also spoke up for Xiao ng.

Lou Qiaoyin forced a smile on her face, “Alright, then I’m relieved.”

In reality, she was not relieved at all. Although Xiao ng’s grades were good, they were indeed very unstable. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been kicked out of the top class by Tian Wangcheng, who valued grades above all.

Jiang Zhe accompanied Xiao ng out, and from a distance, Jiang Fanyue saw them leave, noting the traces of tears on Xiao ng’s face.

Jiang Fanyue smiled faintly, knowing that the incident leaked by her mother while playing mahjong had taken effect.

Lady Chen wouldn’t make no move for sure.

She approached them, “Sister, what’s wrong with Xiao ng?”

“It’s none of your business.” Jiang Zhe glanced at her with cold eyes.

“I’m just concerned about Xiao ng. After all, we have been friends for many years. Xiao ng, is there anything I can help with? Just let

know.” Jiang Fanyue reached out to place her hand on Xiao ng’s shoulder.

Jiang Zhe grabbed Jiang Fanyue’s hand in an instant. She wasn’t sure about the source of this trouble initially, but now that Jiang Fanyue had co forward on her own, how could she not know it was all because of Jiang Fanyue?

“Jiang Fanyue, I advise you to shut up about things you have no evidence of! Otherwise, you can’t afford the consequences!” Jiang Zhe said fiercely, throwing Jiang Fanyue’s hand off, causing her to retreat a few steps, feeling an intense pain in her arm, as if it was about to break.

Watching Jiang Zhe leave with Xiao ng after hitting soone, Jiang Fanyue could only swallow the bitterness in silence.

After she returned to the classroom, she eagerly awaited the rapid escalation of Xiao ng’s issue.

Even if she couldn’t force Xiao ng out of the school, she could at least ruin her reputation.

Nevertheless, no rumors or whispers were heard.

Lady Chen had co, so how could it be like this?

“Fanyue, what’s wrong with your arm?” soone asked her.

“It’s nothing, just bumped it a little.”

“Do you want to see a doctor?”

“Forget it, it’ll be fine in a while.” Jiang Fanyue didn’t want to waste ti on such trivialities.

Right now, her only concern was to find out how Xiao ng’s issue had been dealt with!

Jiang Zhe and Xiao ng returned to their class, and Xia Enci quickly ca over, “What on earth happened? Why have you been crying?”

“Enci,” Xiao ng said in a low voice.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. If soone bullied you, I’ll confront her!”

Xiao ng held onto her, only worried about Jiang Zhe’s recent altercation with Lady Chen, unsure about the situation there.

Miss Lou had only ntioned that her issue was temporarily resolved, but she didn’t ntion anything about Lady Chen’s injury.

If sothing went wrong, wouldn’t Jiang Zhe be in trouble?

She spent the next two class periods in a state of utter confusion.

Finally, Lou Qiaoyin ca over with her books.

Before Xiao ng could ask her about the situation, she ca forward on her own, “Jiang Zhe, don’t worry. I just received a call from the hospital. Lady Chen’s arm is completely fine. Even if she wants to trouble you, she has no grounds. She made a scene at the hospital, claiming she was in pain, and the doctors are sick of her. Who would have thought she could lie about such a thing and try to fra you!”
