The thought of the school interfering stunned Wen Nuanâit would make things difficult to handle. She glanced at Jiang Lingâer.
Jiang Lingâer, on the other hand, was indifferent. âIs that so? Then Iâll also go to the principal and tell him that you and Bai Xue spread rumors about me. Since you have maliciously framed me and Wen Nuan, youâll definitely be expelled. This is part of the schoolâs rules. Your actions have ruined my reputation, and I can even ask the police to arrest you.â
Yue Ling was dumbfounded; she hadnât thought of that at all.
Jiang Lingâer said with a smile, âYou enjoyed spreading rumors, didnât you? Have you not thought of the consequences?â
Yue Ling did not dare to utter another word.
Jiang Lingâer sneered, wondering who made Yue Ling so arrogant.
The next morning.
Jiang Lingâer had just arrived at the door of the classroom when a decently dressed elderly couple in their sixties walked over.
When she saw their solemn expressions, she immediately knew what the two of them wanted. However, she wanted to hear what they had to say first. âYouâre Miss Jiang, right?â Yue Lingâs father asked politely.
Jiang Lingâer pretended not to know him and asked in confusion, âMay I know who you are?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yue Lingâs father said remorsefully, âIâm Yue Lingâs father, and this is Yue Lingâs mother.â
âWhatâs the matter?â Jiang Lingâer asked.
Yue Lingâs father blamed himself and said, âMiss Jiang, itâs my fault for not teaching my daughter well. I made my daughter so insensible and domineering. Can you let my daughter off this once on account that weâre both so old and only have one daughter? Can you give her a chance to turn over a new leaf?â
Before Jiang Lingâer could say anything, Yue Ling ran over excitedly. In order to continue studying here, Yue Ling could only tell her parents the truth. However, her parents did not go to the schoolâs management but came to look for Jiang Lingâer instead. They were actually so humble. Wouldnât this lower Yue Lingâs reputation?
Yue Ling said, âDad, are you not embarrassed? Why are you begging for mercy from a person who is almost fifty years younger than you?â
Yue Lingâs father stood up and slapped Yue Ling. He said, âShut up, idiot. Iâve spoiled you too much that you have become so arrogant. Who allowed you to be so arrogant?â
Jiang Lingâer had already shown them enough respect, but Yue Ling was still oblivious.
Yue Ling covered her face and said, aggrieved, âDad, youâve never hit me like this before!â
Yue Lingâs mother was frightened. She held her daughter and said helplessly, âOld Yue, what are you doing?â
Yue Lingâs father looked at Yue Ling angrily as he said, âYue Ling, youâre already twenty years old! Youâre no longer a ten-year-old child. You need to wake up! Your mother and 1 are almost seventy, and we donât have many years left to live. If you keep this up, we wonât be able to leave in peace in the future.â
Jiang Lingâer looked at the Yue Family, wanting to see how Yue Ling would react.
Yue Ling covered her face and walked to Jiang Lingâer with tears in her eyes. Yue Ling bent down and said, âLingâer, 1 know I was wrong. Please let me off this once. 1 want to continue studying. I canât quit school now.â
Jiang Lingâer smiled and didnât know if this family was acting or not. However, for the sake of their daughter, the old couple had come here to apologize. Poor parents!
In any case, it didnât matter whether they were sincere or not. This was the perfect opportunity to clear Jiang Lingâerâs old reputation of being unreasonable. âAlright, itâs not a big deal. There wonât be a next time, though.â
Yue Ling looked at Jiang Lingâer in shock. She didnât expect Jiang Lingâer to let her off so easily. Moreover, Jiang Lingâer was actually so easy to talk to. âWhy was I so scared of her before?â
Jiang Lingâer looked at Yue Ling. âIâm doing this for the sake of your parents. Your father is already old, yet because of you, he had to lower his head to a junior like me. This isnât good, so use your brain to think twice before you do anything in the future.â
âLingâer, Iâm sorry. 1 know I was wrong,â Yue Ling said.
Jiang Lingâer said softly, âThis time, you should also learn an important lesson. You donât achieve your goals by pleasing other people. Youâre smart and good-looking. Finding a job wonât be hard for you.â
Yue Lingâs father was a little emotional as he said with a slight sob, âMiss Jiang, thank you very much!â
âYouâre too kind, Mr. Yue,â said Jiang Lingâer..
