As Xu Lan walked closer, she saw the words “Li City High School Forum” on the computer screen.
There were two photos below. The woman was holding onto the man with difficulty as she walked into the hotel to talk to the two of them at the front desk. Looking at the familiar figures, wasn’t it her and Yan Si?
Xu Lan pursed her lips tightly and turned to look at the principal. The other party wanted to say something but hesitated. On the other hand, the teacher-in-charge who had lost his temper just now looked exasperated. “Xu Lan, I’ve always thought that you’re a quiet and self-respectful girl. I didn’t expect that you would actually learn how to sleep with a man!”
Xu Lan’s expression remained unchanged.
She slowly turned to the form teacher and said calmly, “Teacher Liu, I went to stay at a hotel indeed.”
The office fell into dead silence.
In just a few seconds, the form teacher’s gritting voice sounded again. “Xu Lan, ask your parents to come to school in the afternoon.”
Xu Lan was very calm. She asked calmly, “Is my fiancé okay?”
No one answered her question. The form teacher was so angry that he could not stay any longer.
The dean, who had been silent, looked at the principal.
The two of them exchanged glances. The principal smiled dryly and asked Xu Lan, “Xu Lan, don’t you know President Qin?”
“I do.”
Xu Lan answered with a smile.
The principal heaved a sigh of relief and repeated the teacher’s words before letting her leave.
At noon, Xu Lan returned to the Xu Family home.
The form teacher had called Xu Qiaoshan and asked her to go home.
Xu Lan alighted from the taxi and was about to enter when she heard a commotion in the living room.
It seemed like the Xu Family had another visitor!
She was slightly repulsed, but she was already on the porch, so she braced herself and entered the house.
“Cousin Xu Lan.”
Everyone in the living room got up when they saw her.
“Uncle, Caini, why are you here?”
Xu Lan looked at the uneasy father and daughter and asked in surprise.
At this moment, Li Meixiang came out of the kitchen with a plate of cut fruits. She looked at Xu Lan with disgust.
“They’re your uncles and cousins. Shouldn’t they be coming over?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Xu Lan frowned and retorted.
Xue Baogui might have sensed that something was amiss, so he quickly advised, “Xiao Lan, I came over with Caini and didn’t tell you in advance. I really shouldn’t have. If she hadn’t committed a mistake in her hometown, I wouldn’t have had to transfer her over to continue studying.”
“No, it’s alright.”
Xu Lan had always depended on her maternal grandmother in the countryside. This so-called uncle was merely a distant relative, and it took her a few twists and turns before she could form a relationship with him.
She glanced at them and turned to Li Meixiang. “Where’s my dad?”
Xu Qiaoshan had called her, and she was determined to find him when she returned.
“Upstairs in the study.”
Li Meixiang did not even lift her head. She was obviously annoyed.
“Cousin, I might have to go to the same school as you. I’m in Year One.”
As Xu Lan stepped onto the first step, Xue Caini suddenly chased after her.
She turned back and smiled faintly.
“That’s good. However, I’m about to take the college entrance examination, so I won’t be able to stay for long.”
After saying that, she ignored the other party’s stunned expression and strode up to the second floor.
That afternoon, Xu Qiaoshan went to school with her.
The office seemed to be discussing something. When he came out, it was as if nothing had happened.
“Lan’er will be home for dinner these few days. I told your form teacher that you can stay at home.”
“There’s no need. You should take care of your arrogant daughter.”
She said coldly and returned to her class.
The next day, at noon.
Xu Lan switched on her phone for the first time and immediately received a call from Yan Si.
He asked about the school forum.
Fortunately, students prioritized their studies and not many paid attention to that thing. With the principal’s suppression, nothing much happened.
However, Yan Si felt that Xu Lan had been wronged and immediately sent someone to investigate. In the end, they locked onto a male IT. By the time he sent his men over, the man had already escaped.
After that, she brought her phone with her. However, Yan Si did not disturb her studies. Xue Caini, who had just transferred over, would occasionally look for her.
