CHAPTER 75: CHAPTER 65 THAT’S EVEN WORSE

"Irrelevant? Han Yuanchong and his lot know quite a bit...all thanks to you, isn’t it?"

Sui Yi’s gaze lightly swept across the faces of the mother and son, "Illegal trading of photos taken without the subject’s consent, and causing mental and reputational harm to the subject, I can sue you for that... I hope you’ll have time to receive the lawyer’s letter the court will be sending you soon..."

Zhang Yang’s mother also froze, instinctively glancing at Principal Zhang.

Principal Zhang’s face changed colors in an instant as if in thought, fluctuating uncertainly, feeling somewhat shaky inside, and seeing Sui Yi with a compelling argument, it seemed to be exactly as described...

After a long moment, he shot a look towards Zhang Yang’s mother.

The meaning was... this girl wasn’t wrong.

If it went to court, such charges could probably hold up, and what’s more, Zhang Yang had admitted to trading photos in front of everyone...even if he was not involved with the final posting online, but...

How stupid to admit it!

"But..." Zhang Yang’s mother still wanted to say something.

Sui Yi had already looked down, her voice cooling off, like the autumn wind that follows the end of a drizzle, "I hope this record won’t impact your college entrance exam, and it won’t follow you in your files for life. I hear that universities and companies nowadays value the character of young people quite a bit..."

Every point on the college entrance exam can impact a person’s whole life, let alone a criminal record in one’s file. Even if light, it could become a thorn in the hearts of those in higher positions.

If you’re selling photos taken covertly now, who’s to say you won’t sell company secrets tomorrow?

Who knows...you’re old enough, your character is already set.

One blemish could affect a person’s entire life.

Only someone like Sui Yi would be indifferent, but clearly, Zhang Yang and his mother could not afford to be!

The college entrance exam is a matter of life and death!

"I... Sui Yi, please spare me, I didn’t mean to..." Zhang Yang’s face turned pale with fear, begging, and seeing this, his mother instantly changed her tune and hurriedly said, "Miss, miss, we’re so sorry, my son he..."

Sui Yi turned her head, saying to Wang Pu and his companion, "Let’s go."

Wang Pu and his companion were still stunned by the spectacle, but upon hearing Sui Yi’s call, numbly and obediently came over and walked out the door. As they were leaving, Sui Yi turned to Principal Zhang, "Teacher Zhang, if you choose to expel Wang Pu, it’s fine. However, I’m very curious about how the media might view this, especially after Han Tianshou set such a precedent—school authority succumbing to wealthy families and jointly forcing a top student to his knees...such a matter should be trivial by comparison."

"I hope, Teacher Zhang, you haven’t dined with this auntie or taken any money from her... Otherwise, the city education bureau above us won’t let go of this opportunity~~"

The door creaked as Sui Yi politely closed it, sealing off the ashen faces of the three people behind it.

Zhao Yue and others were causing a commotion and followed, but dared not say anything; in the end, they could only watch as Wang Pu and his mother mindlessly followed Sui Yi away.

They didn’t give Zhao Yue and her group even a glance.

Leaning on the railing, watching Sui Yi and the two others leave the academic building, the always proud and domineering Zhao Yue had red-rimmed eyes; she turned to Han Gao with an intense gaze, "Is Zhang Yang’s brain shoved into a pigsty, or is he short on money for meals?"

Han Gao had no reply.

Wen Ling suddenly let out a soft exclamation, "Look!"

"Look at what?"

The school’s railing was crowded with students, who were now crying out in clamor.

Because a car had just driven into the school entrance, the guards seemed to let it through without even daring to stop it...

That shiny bull emblem, decidedly not something they dared to stop.

The car stopped there, the door opened, and an extremely cool yet dazzling girl got out of the car. She waited for Sui Yi to approach, spoke a few words with him, and then let Wang Pu and his mother get in the car...

And then...they left.

"Is that... Yhan Qingwu?"

"It’s her!!"

"Good heavens! What car is that?"

"Spyker, not sure which generation, but definitely worth three or four million and upwards... gosh, I had no idea Goddess Yhan’s family was so rich!"

"!!"

Inside the principal’s office, standing by the window was Principal Zhang, his face turning green.

He uttered a sentence.

Zhang Yang and his mother fell silent.

--"Zhang Yang, you should withdraw from school."

----------

In the car, Auntie Wang was sobbing quietly, and no matter how much Wang Pu tried to comfort her, it was of no use. Sui Yi then spoke softly, "Third High School wouldn’t dare to make Wang Pu withdraw."

"Why not?" Auntie Wang’s eyes were red, very surprised.

"He just wouldn’t dare."

"..."

"The harm would outweigh the benefits... anyone smart enough to hold the position of principal wouldn’t be as dumb as a pig," Sui Yi said with a light smile, patting Auntie Wang’s back to comfort her while turning to Wang Pu, "You and Auntie will stay at my place for the next few days..."

Auntie Wang felt that Sui Yi was very capable, her words always solid and reliable, and for a moment she held high hopes, but she also didn’t dare to simply go back home, so she was somewhat tempted and afraid of imposing on Sui Yi...

It seems that Sui Yi also rents a house in this town...

Wang Pu felt even more embarrassed.

Sui Yi glanced at him and said, "This time, you were reckless."

"I... I’m sorry... It’s just that I knew he took your photo, but I didn’t know he would do something like that with it. If it weren’t for me, those people wouldn’t have said such ugly things~~ I..."

"So you rushed over and punched him to vent, got punched a lot in return, is that it?" Sui Yi said lightly.

Wang Pu hurriedly retorted, "No, they started it first!"

"That’s even worse..." Sui Yi gave him a look.

Pfft, Auntie Wang and the driver couldn’t help but laugh.

Yhan Qingwu, who was sitting in the front, also smiled gently. Hearing her laugh, Auntie Wang and Wang Pu felt very embarrassed.

It seems that this girl comes from a very wealthy family... She just has a different vibe.

Neither the mother nor son spoke anymore. Instead, Sui Yi started chatting with Yhan Qingwu. In fact, Sui Yi didn’t know Miss Yhan was also attending Third High School, but obviously, Sui Yi needed to thank her.

"I was just curious, so I came to have a look... The fact that my desk mate is so polite makes me feel bad," said Yhan Qingwu, but she glanced at Sui Yi in the rearview mirror again.

Sui Yi suggested that if she needed to thank her, she could invite her for a meal some other day~~ Sui Yi naturally agreed.

"Miss Sui, may I know what your address is?" asked the usually silent Wang Jin, who was focused on driving.

"Bright Moon Community"

When they heard this, Yhan Qingwu was taken aback, and so was Wang Jin, but he said nothing...

----------

The car brought everyone to the Bright Moon Community, and Yhan Qingwu stepped out with them.

Both Wang Pu and Auntie Wang were extremely astonished. Auntie Wang couldn’t believe it and kept asking if this place was really where Sui Yi lived.

Sui Yi nodded and said goodbye to Yhan Qingwu at the same time.

Watching the three of them enter the community, Yhan Qingwu smiled faintly.

Bright Moon Community?

--------

Inside the villa, Wang Pu and his mother, once hearing that Sui Yi was renting the place, still found it unbelievable, thought it a waste, and were curious about where Sui Yi got so much money to rent a villa...

But it was Sui Yi’s prerogative, and the two didn’t dare ask more. They carefully put on the slippers provided by Zuo Wei and stepped onto the polished floor that was so shiny it could serve as a mirror, momentarily unsure of where to put their hands.

Fortunately, the old lady was overjoyed to see them.

Soon, they felt a bit more at ease.

The old lady chatted with Auntie Wang and then called them to cook together.

On the sofa, only Sui Yi and Wang Pu were left.

Wang Pu bent forward, hands clasped together, and after a long silence and seeing that Sui Yi was only watching the news on the wall, he couldn’t hold back and whispered, "I’m sorry, Sister Sui Yi, I’ve caused you trouble this time."

Sui Yi lowered the volume and turned to look at him, "It’s my fault, I thought it wouldn’t be any trouble... I criticized you just to let you know that you can’t be too hasty. Your rashness before didn’t implicate me, but your parents."

"I understand... I really wasn’t thinking straight at the time, I didn’t expect Zhang Yang to be so ruthless... not only did he not feel guilty, he also..."

Sui Yi, seeing the hatred in Wang Pu’s eyes, guessed a little about what happened, "Let’s leave this matter behind. Remember the hardships you faced today, and just work hard in the future. You can still attend school, as long as you don’t feel uncomfortable."

After a pause, Sui Yi frowned, knowing that the atmosphere at Third High School was indeed poor, especially after such an incident.

"Or, you could transfer to Second High School. Your grades are above average there, and the transfer shouldn’t be too difficult."

As long as the connections are right.

Second High School? That would definitely be tough, especially since it was already the senior year and transferring was not easy, let alone from Third High School to Second High School...

Wang Pu didn’t want to trouble Sui Yi, so he declined, unaware that Sui Yi was already contemplating how to go about it.

Sui Yi, not being one to talk much, sat on the sofa lost in thought while Wang Pu occasionally watched the TV and glanced at Sui Yi.

Soon, Auntie Wang called him over secretly.

"Son, did you really get into a fight with your classmate over some photo of Ah Yi?"

"Ah, mother, it has nothing to do with Sister Sui Yi, please don’t blame her..." Wang Pu became anxious.

"Alright, that’s not what I mean! What I’m saying is that if you get expelled this time... you mustn’t blame Sister Sui Yi... and you can’t take it out on her, given that over the years, our family has received a lot of help from her... A few years back when your dad got into an accident on the construction site, if she hadn’t given us thirty thousand yuan, our family..."

Auntie Wang was straightforward, occasionally took advantage of small gains, but always remembered the good others did for her. Like how Ah A thought they treated the old lady well because of the regular gifts from Sui Yi, he didn’t know the main reason was the help Sui Yi offered that one time.

Sui Yi might not care about it herself, but she had always borne it in mind,

So even if Wang Pu was expelled because of some trouble related to Sui Yi, she would accept it.

Besides, she also blamed her son for bringing a bad influence back to the village....(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote and support at Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
