After Jiang Yi finished speaking, the bell rang, but Teacher Shen had not yet given an answer. Jiang Yi felt a little uneasy, but he also knew that it was time to go back to class.

"Teacher Shen, class is about to start. I'll go back first."

Jiang Yi broke free from Teacher Shen’s arm, and Shen Changan suddenly hugged his shoulders tightly.

"Jiang Yi, this matter is not your fault. Go back to class first and leave the rest to me!"

After receiving Teacher Shen's affirmative answer, Jiang Yi felt as if he had taken a reassurance pill and immediately felt extremely relieved.

"Thank you, Teacher Shen. Sorry to bother you, Teacher Shen. I'll go to class now!"

Teacher Shen agreed to help. Jiang Yi was so happy that he could help his sister that he ran towards the classroom.

Jiang Li heard the sound of someone coming up the stairs and turned around. He saw a fat man walking towards him and immediately walked up to him and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Director Chen, I'm Jiang Yi's sister, Jiang Li."

Director Chen looked at Jiang Li a few times and felt that he had been fooled.

When others invite parents, it is always the parents who come. The little girl in front of her is just a little girl herself. Why should she come in place of Jiang Yi's parents?

"I asked Jiang Yi to invite parents, not brothers and sisters. You need to understand the relationship. You should go back and call your parents."

"Director Chen, I am Jiang Yi's parent."

Jiang Li briefly introduced the situation at home. Director Chen was slightly stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Teacher Zheng had asked him to approve Jiang Yi's application for a scholarship some time ago. It seemed that there were indeed no adults in their family.

"Then come in and talk."

Jiang Li followed him to the office. Director Chen started making tea as soon as he entered and did not speak for more than ten minutes.

An ordinary person would have been so nervous that they wouldn't know what to do. However, Jiang Li looked calm except for being a little worried about his children.

"Things have been going missing from the teachers' office recently, and Jiang Yi was caught red-handed by someone in the same office. Although Jiang Yi's academic performance is excellent, his character is questionable..."

Director Chen was about to give a long speech when Jiang Li interrupted him in time.

"Director Chen, being caught in the act means being caught stealing something. My brother just went to the office to look for someone and didn't even go in. How can he be caught in the act?"

"Jiang Yi said he didn't do these things, and I believe him. It's definitely not Jiang Yi who stole the things!"

Jiang Li's brief but powerful words and unconditional trust left Director Chen at a loss for words.

"Nothing is absolute. Besides, Teacher Liu saw it with his own eyes. How could this be false? Besides, your family's conditions are indeed not good. It is understandable that Jiang Yi did such a thing in a moment of confusion..."

"Although our family is poor, we have never stolen anything from others. I believe Jiang Yi would not do such a thing. If Director Chen insists on saying it was him, then please provide evidence!"

"If the school can't resolve this matter, please ask Director Chen to report it to the Public Security Bureau. If it is ultimately proven that Jiang Yi did it, we are willing to accept any punishment and consequences."

"If the final investigation results in someone else's case, then please ask Teacher Liu to publicly apologize to Jiang Yi! The school must also give Jiang Yi an explanation!"

Jiang Li's neither humble nor arrogant attitude and powerful words made Director Chen helpless.

The little girl in front of him looked weak, but unexpectedly she was tougher in words and more resolute in attitude than Jiang Yi. It was true that birds of a feather flock together.

"Jiang Li, right? Don't be so arrogant at such a young age. Jiang Yi has excellent academic performance and is the seedling we focus on cultivating. Even if he really stole something, the school won't do anything to him."

"Do we really have to report it to the Public Security Bureau? If the investigation turns out to be Jiang Yi, it will be a stain on his file. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Seeing that reasoning didn't work, Director Chen began to threaten Jiang Yi's future.

"I'm sure of it!"

Jiang Li's firm attitude made it impossible for even the old fox Teacher Chen to do anything to her.

There was no surveillance in the 1970s. Unless you caught the thief in the act, who could do anything to him as long as he denied admitting it?

Director Chen originally thought that Jiang Li would be easier to control because he was young and inexperienced, but now it seems that he is indeed a tough nut to crack.

"You are harming Jiang Yi by doing this. Are you really his sister? I think you are his enemy!"

Director Chen was furious, but Jiang Li suddenly smiled.

"If I don't do this, I'll be hurting him! I am his sister, a sister born from the same mother! I believe in my brother!"

Jiang Li suddenly stood up from her seat and looked down at Director Chen.

Director Chen usually has a good grasp of his momentum, and he has never been so passive even in front of the principal. But today he was speechless after being confronted by a girl who was only in her early 20s. If this were to get out, where would he put his face?

"You are so unreasonable, you will pay the price for your ignorance!"

Director Chen also stood up, and in order to boost his momentum, he pointed at Jiang Li's nose and threatened him rudely.

Shen Changan, who had been standing at the door listening to the conversation between the two, pushed the door open and walked in at this time.

"I can testify that Jiang Yi came to see me yesterday at noon, but I had an emergency and asked for leave, so I didn't have time to inform him, which led to the misunderstanding."

Shen Changan's tall figure walked in against the light. He arrived before others. After coming in, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he slightly spread out his hands and took the initiative to block in front of Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked at the man in front of her. This was not the first time they met, and they had always gotten along normally.

He suddenly showed up today. What does this protective posture mean?

Even though they have two children, they shouldn't be this close, right?

The principal was the only one in the entire school who knew Shen Changan's identity, and it was the principal who personally arranged for him to come in as a temporary teacher.

The teachers in the school all knew that Shen Changan had some background, but most people speculated that he must have a wealthy family and spent a lot of money to become a teacher in the school.

Although everyone gives Shen Changan face, they will still put their own interests first when faced with conflicts of interest.

Director Chen's authority has been challenged. One is fine, but two! Uncle can tolerate it, but Aunt can't!

"Everyone knows that you favor Jiang Yi. Last time, someone saw you two eating together in the school cafeteria, so what you say cannot be trusted!"

Shen Changan didn't expect that he would be rejected as soon as he came forward in person. He had long known that Director Chen was arbitrary in the school and many teachers had long been resentful of him.

But he is an old staff member of the school, and it is said that he has some connections, so most people dare not offend him.

Shen Changan had noticed this matter before. He was not the kind of person who meddles in other people's affairs, and he was too lazy to care if it didn't happen to him.

Now seeing that he first slandered Jiang Yi for stealing things and then coerced and bribed Jiang Li, Shen Changan was filled with anger.

He was so angry that even he himself didn't understand what was wrong with him.
