CHAPTER 188: 187: BIG ISSUE (1ST UPDATE) REQUEST FOR MONTHLY TICKET

Ye Ling had been holding back her anger, and at the moment she acted, she wasn’t afraid of the consequences of having parents called in. As soon as Ji Zhongjun finished shouting, she turned around and walked out. As she left, Zhao Guodong and several others followed her, leaving only Si Daochen and Ji Hong standing in the office.

Ji Zhongjun shouted at Ye Ling’s back, "I want to see how precious the children from your compound really are."

Not able to stop Ye Ling and the others, Zhang Linong, who was walking at the end, paused and turned back to look at Ji Zhongjun, "Mr. Ji, when students fight, there’s no need to drag the compound into it. If you say it like that, it’s no longer a fight between students; it’s class struggle. Do you have some issue with the military?"

Ji Zhongjun was momentarily at a loss for words, unable to respond.

Zhang Linong gave him a faint glance, only letting his gaze linger on Si Daochen and Ji Hong before he left, prompting Ji Zhongjun to slam the table repeatedly, cursing in frustration.

Ji Hong was somewhat worried, "Mr.... Teacher, what do we do now?"

Originally intending to address him as ’Uncle,’ Ji Zhongjun glared back, making Ji Hong feel even more aggrieved. What’s the harm in calling him ’Uncle’? Hiding it as if he was selflessly impartial.

"What to do? You go back now, I’ll explain the situation to the school administration. These children must have their parents called in." Ji Zhongjun spoke more boldly when he saw that no one in the office came out to dissuade him.

Ji Hong realized there was no other option and returned to the class. Although the class had settled down and the subject teacher had started teaching, everyone’s mind was obviously elsewhere. First, they saw Ye Ling and others come back, pack up their bags and leave, then Ji Hong and his group returned with swollen faces, sitting back silently. The situation was unclear, seemingly as if Ye Ling’s group had lost since they left with their bags, but Ji Hong’s lack of glee was unusual for him.

Walking outside with her bag, Ye Ling smiled helplessly, "It’s my fault for dragging you three into this; I’ll explain to your families when the time comes."

Everyone knew Zhao Guodong liked to fight, but he had never had to call in his parents. Yet because of her, he had to do it this time. It seemed like they should stay away from her.

"I’m the one who fought, it has nothing to do with you. Besides, he was so arrogant; he deserved to be hit." Zhao Guodong didn’t care. He used to get his parents called in often in elementary school, but it stopped after he met Ye Ling.

"Ye Ling, you head back to the dorm first. When we send a message home, we’ll directly relay one to your dad in the military." Zhang Linong knew about Ye Family’s situation.

If Ye’s mother were to come, she’d likely side with outsiders. Everyone knew she was biased; when it came to Ye Ling, she’d always scold her first, regardless of right or wrong.

Ye Ling didn’t plan to involve her mother either. Zhang Linong’s words aligned with her thoughts, and she nodded, splitting up with the three at the fork to return to the dorm.

Meanwhile, in the same class, having seen the fight, Liu Rui had already left with her books. In the second year, they were revising without classes, so she skipped class and found her older brother to explain everything happening at home. Liu Zhiyuan frowned, mentioned it to the class teacher, and walked his sister home.

"Big brother, Ye Ling is really fierce. I’ve never seen her so ruthless. Without saying a word, she slapped Ji Hong twice and then kicked him in the stomach. Later, it turned even scarier; Ji Hong tried to fight back but couldn’t even compete with her, even though she’s so skinny." The thought still frightened Liu Rui.

Ye Ling didn’t leave a good impression on Liu Zhiyuan, and hearing this naturally made him dislike her even more. "She’s introverted but narrow-minded. She seems quiet with a good temper but is always calculating, holding everything in her heart. It’s better you stay away from such people; it’s not good for you. Learn from Ye Qian. No matter how Ye Ling treats her, have you ever seen Ye Qian speak ill of her? Ye Qian always tries to advise in front of her mother; you should learn this."

"Big brother, you like Ye Qian, so you think everything she does is good." Liu Rui joked, not annoyed at her brother praising another girl, "Didn’t mom say you should study well and stay away from the Ye Family? Are you not fond of Ye Qian anymore?"

"What do you know, kid? I’m preparing for the college entrance exam. Besides, we’ve associated with the Ye Family for years; there’s no basis for such talk." Liu Zhiyuan rubbed his sister’s head, "Anyway, listen to your brother, stay far away from anything related to Ye Ling."

"Don’t worry, big brother, I understand." Liu Rui quickly agreed, seeing her brother still fixated on the matter.

With such a big incident at the school, Ji Zhongjun went to the administration. Upon hearing of the student fight, especially a group fight, the headteacher found the matter serious and directly called the military compound’s gatekeeper, instructing them to relay the message to each family for parents to come to the school tomorrow.

Bai Xue cursed inwardly when she heard the guard deliver the message and immediately questioned the youngest daughter about it upon her return that night. Ye Qian in the middle school department also heard, "I don’t know what happened exactly; I just heard that after my sister returned from the office, she beat up a girl in her class, and when other classmates tried to intervene, they were beaten by Zhao Guodong and his group. Their class teacher called them to the office, yet my sister argued back, angering the teacher into contacting the administration; if she had apologized, this matter could have been suppressed."

Ye Qian’s vague explanation made Bai Xue think it was all because Ye Ling didn’t respect the teacher and bullied classmates recklessly, making her even angrier. "I won’t go for the parent meeting. Isn’t your dad telling me not to interfere? Let’s see if she can continue her schooling without me."

The guard said parents must attend or the student can’t continue classes. Ye He Ping was away with the military for over ten days and could not come back for the parent meeting. Bai Xue knew this, and despite her daughter’s plea, she insisted on not going, indifferent to her eldest daughter’s difficulty.

Ye Qian advised, "Though you’ll hear unpleasant things from the teachers, mom, it’s better to go; otherwise, sister can’t attend classes."

Instead, her urging firmed Bai Xue’s resolve not to go, "Alright, alright, you must be hungry. Go wash your hands and let’s have dinner; we’ll talk about this tomorrow."

The next day, Ye Qian acted as if she had forgotten the matter, had breakfast, and went to school. She wanted to see: Ye Ling always said she didn’t rely on family; now without a parent here, let’s see how she manages. (To be continued.
