Chapter 461 - 395 You just speak without thinking, but what I lose is a good mood!
The principal’s surname is Jin.
And when Rong Yan went in, she also discovered a recognizable person.
That was none other than Dean Hao from the Military District Hospital.
When he saw Rong Yan, he was quite surprised and was just about to greet her when Rong Yan winked at him.
Seeing her gesture, Dean Hao swallowed back the greeting he was about to say.
"What’s going on here?" asked Principal Jin.
Before anyone else got a chance to speak, Le Jia preempted them:
"Principal Jin, it’s like this, these two people in our school... in front of everyone, openly acted against school regulations... I went up to advise them, but instead of listening, they came here to seek justice..."
"You’re talking nonsense..." Madam Rong was somewhat provoked by her words and became agitated.
Rong Yan held her mother’s hand, "Mother, let me explain."
Rong Wenming also tugged at his wife, "Let our daughter speak first."
Madam Rong’s anger was then suppressed, and she closed her mouth.
Rong Yan looked towards the principal, "May I ask, Principal, how is taking a photo with my spouse, under the accompaniment of my parents, a violation of school regulations?"
Principal Jin, hearing her question, turned his gaze towards Le Jia.
Le Jia’s eyes flickered for a moment, and she promptly stated, "Principal, their behavior in public was excessively intimate..."
"We haven’t even held hands, so how is that being intimate? Plus, my parents were there. If you want to frame someone, at least find a better excuse." Rong Yan turned her head to look at Principal Jin, "Principal, I think our school needs to put an emphasis on moral education, not just imparting knowledge and neglecting this aspect."
"Otherwise, people like her will only see filth in others, and when selecting students for certain positions, one should also review their character, to avoid nepotism... Like her."
Before she could finish her next words, Shi Ke stood up, "Rong Yan, let me handle the rest. Principal, this Le Jia is my stepsister after my mother got remarried. She doesn’t get along with me, so today when she saw me welcoming the newcomers, she vented her anger on innocent Rong Yan and her spouse."
"You’re spouting nonsense..." Le Jia was infuriated, her expression highly agitated.
However, Principal Jin’s attention was on another matter, "Did you say her name is Rong Yan?"
Shi Ke: "...Yes, my junior sister is a new student of this cohort, from our medical department..."
Now that Principal Jin had received confirmation, he became quite excited.
Rong Yan... his good friend Dean Hao was still here, having just praised her for nearly an hour or so.
Moreover, that was not all; over the past couple of months, he had heard quite a lot about her.
A medical genius.
But excitement aside, he first had to deal with the matter at hand.
"Le Jia, this is not right. They are a married couple, merely taking a photograph. You can’t project your personal grievances onto innocent people. Now, you should apologize to Rong Yan properly."
Upon hearing this, Le Jia’s eyes widened incredulously, "...I apologize to her? It’s them who broke the rules... I did nothing wrong, I won’t apologize..."
Seeing this, Shi Ke immediately added, "Principal, her uncle is Xu Changjian, deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office."
Le Jia immediately turned her head and glared at him, "Shi Ke, you’ve crossed the line. What does this have to do with my uncle, why bring him up?"
Shi Ke ignored her.
The reminder had to be made.
Upon hearing this, Principal Jin frowned, ready to call Xu Changjian over.
Coincidentally, just at this moment, without being summoned, Xu Changjian showed up on his own.
He came by himself.
Upon entering, he saw a large group of people in the principal’s office.
He glanced around and then his eyes landed on two familiar figures.
Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat, and I had a very bad feeling.
Before I could speak, Le Jia yelled at me, "Uncle..."
"Why are you here?" Hadn’t I told her not to call me uncle at school?
Now, it wasn’t a good time to tell her not to call me that.
"Xu Changjian, let’s not catch up just yet, first talk about the matter at hand," Principal Jin was really busy now, with a pile of things to deal with. He just wanted to sort out the issue in front of him first.
"Principal, what happened?" Xu Changjian had no choice but to ask.
Anyway, he already had a bad feeling, sensing that his niece had probably gotten herself into trouble...
And that it even reached the Principal’s attention.
"Rong Yan, you tell the story," Principal Jin handed the narrative authority back to Rong Yan.
Rong Yan spoke in a cool tone, recounting the incident succinctly and pointedly, yet in a way that was very clear to understand.
Xu Changjian’s face darkened.
He glared at his niece, "Apologize to Rong Yan and her family immediately."
Le Jia’s eyes widened in disbelief.
But when she received that warning look from her uncle, she had no choice but to suppress her grievances and reluctantly apologize, "I’m sorry, my mistake."
Rong Yan’s expression was indifferent, "You should say that you shouldn’t have been waving your authority around and have taken your personal emotions out on others. Others are not the targets for your wanton revenge. Also, your tone isn’t sincere enough, it’s obvious that you don’t realize your mistake."
"You blurted it out without a second thought, but because of your actions, I’ve lost my reputation, along with the good mood my family had today."
Le Jia: ... If she could, she would love to smack this woman’s face with the sole of her shoe.
Xu Changjian: ...
Principal Jin: ...
Dean Hao: ...
Shi Ke: ...
Her eyes shining, Shi Ke looked at Rong Yan. This girl really hit the spot for her.
How come she hadn’t met this girl earlier?
If they had met sooner, they would surely have become the best of friends.
Xu Changjian took a deep breath and said sternly to his niece, "Apologize properly!"
Le Jia, feeling distressed and sad inside, still lowered her head, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have been waving my authority around so carelessly... I truly regret it..."
"I accept your apology, and I hope you’ll be more careful next time. Moreover, you owe my mother an apology... Your baseless smears scared her pretty badly."
Le Jia: ...
Who exactly scared whom here?
She looked at her uncle, very aggrieved, and seeing his expression... it was clear he wasn’t on her side.
So she apologized to Madam Rong reluctantly, "I’m sorry!"
"Alright, you’re still a young girl, don’t do this again. You should cultivate your character and focus on your studies... strive to be a pure person."
Shi Ke: ...
Amazing. Is this the power of words? It’s really strong.
Le Jia was nearly faint with rage.
What did this old woman mean? Calling her impure in front of so many people?
Ah, it’s so infuriating!
