Ma Xiu'e, with a face covered in tea leaves, belatedly realized and screamed, "What are you doing?!"

Xia Mian said, "This is what it's like when you have no parents, isn't that what you said?"

No one expected that she would take action directly. Michael was shocked. This girl looked gentle, but how could she be so decisive in taking action?

Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen were behind Xia Mian and wanted to shout, "Good job!"

Ma Xiu'e was about to pounce on him again, but was stopped by Michael. She was so angry that she pointed at Xia Mian's nose and cursed, "Do you know how much this dress of mine cost? Can a poor bastard like you afford to pay for it? You stinky girl with no manners..."

Xia Mian immediately picked up the other teacup and asked, "What did you say?"

Ma Xiu'e couldn't bring herself to say anything more unpleasant.

Hao Jianguo quickly stepped out with a smile to smooth things over. "Director Ma, calm down. These kids are young and impetuous. How can they not be angry when you say such harsh words?"

He turned to Xia Mian and said, "Don't worry, I've already paid for Director Ma's clothes. But you're being too sensitive, little girl. Even though Director Ma's words were harsh, you wouldn't resort to violence."

He sighed and said, "It's the same thing with my son. He just wanted to tease you because you're pretty. He's been like that since kindergarten. He likes to tease pretty kids. He definitely doesn't mean any harm."

"The little girl has no parents to protect her, so it's good for her to be cautious, but she shouldn't be overly sensitive," Hao Jianguo said. "Now that you've ripped him off, if I really ask you for compensation, the medical expenses will be quite a lot."

Without waiting for Xia Mian to speak, he continued, "Uncle won't bother with you about this matter. After all, it's not right for him to tease a little girl, but you can't send him to the police station. He is only seventeen years old."

Ma Xiu'e, who was wiping her clothes with her head down, immediately cried out in surprise, "Sent to the police station? And they even slapped your son's head?"

Hao Jianguo said, "Isn't it? He needed several stitches."

Ma Xiu'e looked at Xia Mian as if she were some villain, and said indignantly, "This stinky girl is really cruel."

"Mr. Hao, you are too kind-hearted. How can you let this matter go so easily? People like them deserve to be taught a lesson," Ma Xiu'e said coldly, "Once they are taught a lesson, they will know what is right and wrong."

"What kind of deep hatred does a teenager have to send someone to jail?"

Sun Yuexin couldn't stand it any longer and angrily said, "Why don't you just ask your daughter and find out? Xia Mian just provoked her and she spread rumors that Xia Mian had been in jail. If she hadn't said that, would Hao Jian dare to recruit people from society to cause trouble for Xia Mian?"

Ma Xiu'e sneered, "Did my daughter say something wrong? Looking at her ruthless expression, maybe she really did go in!"

No one saw Xia Mian's action, but saw that Ma Xiu'e's face, which had just been wiped clean, was splashed with tea again. At the same time, a white shadow flashed past her head and hit the wall behind her, making a crisp cracking sound.

Everyone was shocked. Ma Xiu'e didn't even care about the tea on her face. She only felt a chill on her back and a numbness on her scalp, and she couldn't help screaming.

Xia Mian picked up another teacup and said calmly, "Auntie, you'd better shut up. You won't be so lucky next time."

"If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. Anyway, this uncle will compensate me." Xia Mian looked at Hao Jianguo, "Right, uncle, a dozen stitches on the head shouldn't cost much."

Hao Jianguo was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the girl in front of him to be so fierce.

Ma Xiu'e was also a little scared. She asked Michael, "Teacher Mi, is this how you teach your students?"

"I will never allow my daughter to go to school with such a person!"

Michael finally reacted and quickly put away the remaining teacups on the table. He then reached out to take the one in Xia Mian's hand, "Xia Mian! Calm down."

Xia Mian let go.

Michael took the cup and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Ma Xiu'e relaxed and was about to speak again when she saw Xia Mian pick up the ashtray in front of Hao Jianguo.

Ma Xiu'e: ...

She didn't dare to speak again, while Xia Mian asked Michael in confusion, "Teacher, what exactly is Tian Xueya's mother doing here?"

"Everything about Tian Xueya is very clear. I have no grudge against her. She wants to curry favor with the Hao family, but she keeps insulting me. Is she asking for trouble?"

Michael said to Ma Xiu'e, "Mother Tian Xueya, you are here for Tian Xueya. We have made everything clear. Please go back first and let Tian Xueya come to school tomorrow. High school is not like junior high school. It is difficult to make up for the missed courses."

"Also, you should go back and change your clothes quickly. Don't catch a cold in the middle of winter."

Ma Xiu'e was not a pushover to begin with, and she couldn't leave after getting so angry. "No, I have to meet her parents today. Mr. Hao, don't mind, but I'm not going to be taken advantage of."

"These people must know their place."

Seeing that Ma Xiu'e was about to pester him again, Hao Jianguo quickly said, "Director Ma, just sit back and relax. Go to the radiator and warm yourself up. Don't catch a cold."

He could see that this little girl had a bad temper, and it would not be good for him if she got angry.

After Hao Jianguo spoke, Ma Xiu'e said nothing more. She glared at Xia Mian fiercely and hurriedly dealt with the water stains and tea leaves on her face and body.

Hao Jianguo looked at Xia Mian with a smile, "The little girl is really amazing. Uncle also knows that it must be the fault of my brat, but he definitely has no bad intentions. He just wants to tease you. Uncle apologizes to you on his behalf. Can you forgive him?"

"He's only seventeen. If he gets a criminal record, his whole life will be ruined," Hao Jianguo said, clearly quite articulate. "Classmate, please forgive him this time for the sake of my pitiful parents. I will definitely discipline him strictly in the future and make sure he doesn't do it again."

"Of course, uncle won't let you suffer in vain. I will compensate you for your mental damages. Five thousand..."

Xia Mian interjected, "Fifty million?"

Hao Jianguo choked, and Ma Xiu'e couldn't help but sneer, "Fifty million, you really dare to say that, aren't you afraid of being eaten to death?"

Xia Mian was too lazy to waste time talking to them and said directly, "Uncle, you may have made a mistake. Although I called the police, I was not the one who made the final decision on the case."

"The situation at the time was clearly recorded. The police will naturally determine what the crime is. There is no point in you coming to me. I did what I should do and don't need any apology or compensation."

Hao Jianguo's face darkened. "Little girl, don't be so confident. You can save my son with just one word. Let's make a good relationship instead of an enemy, okay?"

"My son only spent a dozen days in prison with a criminal record. Since you go to school here, your family must be nearby. If you took 5,000 yuan to improve your family's living conditions, wouldn't that be better than having my son staring at your family while he's idle?"

"Are you threatening me?" Xia Mian asked.

Hao Jianguo's eyes were gloomy, but he smiled and said, "How could that be? I'm just telling you the truth. I believe our Hao family still has some influence in this area. It would be great if we could make a good relationship."

Xia Mian said, "Sorry, I don't need it."

Seeing that she was unmoved, Hao Jianguo glared at her, "Little girl, I think we should discuss and resolve this matter, what do you think?"

Xia Mian asked, "You mean to ask me to change my confession and label your son as naughty?"

"But the audio evidence is there. If you ask me to change my statement, you're forcing me to commit perjury, which is a crime."

"Why do you think I would turn myself into a criminal for someone who wants to hurt me? Just for five thousand dollars?"

Xia Mian met Hao Jianguo's gaze directly, "If it were you, would you do it?"

Hao Jianguo narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "It turns out that the little girl has seen the world. She thinks five thousand yuan is too little. Then tell me how much you are willing to pay."

Michael frowned and stood in front of Xia Mian and said, "Hao Jian's father, Xia Mian didn't mean that. It's really useless to ask Xia Mian about this matter. You should hire a lawyer and call the police."

"I've already hired a lawyer," Hao Jianguo said helplessly to Michael. "Teacher Mi, the child is naive, and you are also naive."

He sighed and said, "Why don't we wait until her brother comes to discuss this matter. I think her brother is more sensible than her."

Xia Mian poked his head out from behind Michael, "Uncle, how much do you want me to give you? I have to ask you how much you have first."

Hao Jianguo completely lost his patience. "I have two million now. I'll give it all to you. Do you dare to take it?"

"Two million?" Xia Mian sneered, "I really don't think much of it!"

Ma Xiu'e said, "He's a poor fellow, but he's so arrogant. When your brother comes, don't accept him, or you'll be embarrassed."

Xia Mian rolled her eyes and was about to speak when the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.

Xia Mian borrowed this cell phone from Ning Shaoyun after she heard about Hao Jian and the others' plan, in order to make it easier to call the police.

That day, after Ning Shaobai picked her up from the police station, he was worried about what might happen next, so he asked her to keep it first.

She glanced at the caller ID and pressed the answer button:

Ning Shaobai's voice came out, "I'm at your school, where is it?"

Xia Mian was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you busy?"

Ning Shaobai said, "Well, I had just finished the surgery and hadn't yet reached the office. Now I'm already in the high school department. Where should I go?"

Xia Mian said, "It's in the conference room on the east side of the second floor."

"Wait, I'll be there soon."

Hao Jianguo's face turned serious when Xia Mian took out his cell phone. He had only seen this thing once, and it was in the hands of a big boss.

The key point is that the boss was reluctant to use it, saying that he was going to send it to his superiors.

It is said that there are only more than 100 of them in the country now, and the price on the black market has been sold for more than 100,000 yuan each. He was thinking of finding someone to get one, but he didn't expect this little girl to take it out easily.

Hao Jianguo was quite adaptable and said with a kind smile, "It seems that I didn't recognize the great man. What does your brother do for a living?"

Xia Mian was really disgusted by his expression and simply ignored him.

I didn't want to trouble Ning Shaobai originally, but now I'm kind of looking forward to his appearance.

Dr. Ning is still very powerful when his aura is fully released.

Hao Jianguo was not annoyed. He turned around and asked Teacher Mi about summer sleep in a roundabout way.

His attitude change was so obvious that everyone was surprised. Ma Xiu'e looked at Xia Mian inquiringly, her eyes rolling around.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the conference room, and Michael quickly said, "Come in."

A tall and handsome young man pushed the door open and came in. He was wearing a wide woolen coat, which made him look slender. His face was cold, which clearly conveyed the message of "I am not someone to be trifled with".

Michael was also stunned for a moment. If it weren't for this impressive face, he would have suspected that this alienated young man was not the same one he saw at the police station door that day.

"Oh, is this Xia Mian's brother?" Hao Jianguo was stunned for a moment, then immediately came over to greet him attentively, "What a handsome man! I'm Hao Jian's father, Hao Jianguo."

Ning Shaobai ignored his greeting and just nodded lightly.

He walked to Xia Mian and said to Michael, "Teacher, what's the matter with Xia Mian?"

Teacher Mi glanced at Hao Jianguo with some helplessness. Xia Mian knew it was difficult for him to say anything, so she said directly, "Hao Jian's father said he would give me 5,000 yuan in mental damages and then asked me to give false testimony to his son, saying that his son just liked me and was teasing me, and he didn't mean to force me to work as a nightclub hostess."

Ning Shaobai looked at Hao Jianguo expressionlessly, "How about I give you 100,000 yuan in mental damages and let your son stay in prison until he reaches adulthood?"

Hao Jianguo's face changed, and he quickly laughed and said, "I was just joking with the child. Actually, I heard that my son offended the girl, so I came over to apologize."

"No need." Ning Shaobai said with some disgust, then lowered his head and asked Xia Mian, "How do you want to deal with it?"

Hao Jianguo was very scared at the moment, but when he thought of Xia Mian's ruthlessness, he immediately realized that the other person was not stupid and had enough confidence.

He was also decisive, and immediately said, "I'm sorry for being abrupt. Xia, please don't be so unreasonable. We will obey whatever the police and the school decide."

"I promise that my son and I will never appear in front of Xia Mian again. How about that?"

Ning Shaobai looked at Xia Mian.

Xia Mian nodded. If possible, there was no need to get entangled with these villains.

Hao Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Ning Shaobai, "You see, we're not strangers to each other, so why don't I book a table at the Azure Pavilion and treat you guys to a meal? I want to apologize for scaring the child today. It was really inconsiderate of me."

"No need," Ning Shaobai raised his hand to check the time and said to Teacher Mi, "Now that the matter has been resolved, I will leave first. I'll trouble you with the summer sleep issue."

Michael didn't expect that the matter could be resolved so easily in just a few words, so he said blankly, "Oh, okay, okay."

Hao Jianguo immediately said, "I'll go see Xia Mian's brother off. I happen to have a car, so I'll take you there."

Before Ning Shaobai could refuse, he heard a fierce female voice coming from the side, "Xia Mian's brother."

Ma Xiu'e stepped forward, revealing her bewildered appearance. "We've finished discussing Mr. Hao's affairs, but we haven't discussed ours yet."

Ning Shaobai glanced at Xia Mian. Although he didn't know what had happened, the situation before him was obviously the work of this girl.

He didn't respond to Ma Xiu'e's question and asked Sun Yuexin directly, "Sun Yuexin, right? Tell me, what's going on with this lady?"

Sun Yuexin was inexplicably excited when she was named. "She is Tian Xueya's mother. She came to me out of nowhere today and insisted that we scared Tian Xueya into not coming to school."

"She even called Xia Mian a fatherless and motherless woman...uneducated, saying her daughter was right, that Xia Mian had just been to jail before. Xia Mian was so angry...that she poured tea on her."

"Did she just spill tea?" Ma Xiu'e said angrily. "The teacher and Mr. Hao saw it all. I just said a few unpleasant words, and this girl spilled tea on me twice."

"The second time, he threw a cup at me. Luckily, I dodged quickly, otherwise I would have ended up in the hospital like Mr. Hao's son."

"Tell me what we should do about this?" Ma Xiu'e said with a scoundrel look. "And my daughter, she's been so scared by your Xia Mian that she's afraid to go to school. She's going to college, can you afford to ruin her future?"

Hao Jianguo immediately said, "Oh, Director Ma, it's not a big deal." He smiled at Ning Shaobai and said, "Xia Mian's brother, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter for you."

"Director Ma just wants compensation for mental damages, right? Five thousand, no, ten thousand, is ten thousand enough? I'll take care of this matter!"

A look of joy flashed in Ma Xiu'e's eyes.

Ning Shaobai looked at Hao Jianguo indifferently, "What did our child do wrong? Is it your turn to admit her fault?"

Hao Jianguo didn't expect that his flattery would hit the horse's leg, and he froze suddenly.

Ma Xiu'e also frowned, "What do you mean? She was right to hit me?"

Ning Shaobai completely ignored her and just lowered his head to ask Xia Mian, "It was her daughter who spread the rumor?"

Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen nodded frantically, "Yes, it's her daughter, Tian Xueya."

Ning Shaobai then looked at Ma Xiu'e, "Then I think your daughter is too miserable. She might as well be an orphan. At least she can grow up well without a father or a mother."

Here comes Ning Shaobai’s poisonous tongue.

"You!" Ma Xiu'e's face changed, and then she heard Ning Shaobai continue, "You reminded me."

"Later, I'll hire a lawyer to sue you and your daughter for defamation. Hao Jian and his men's case is still pending. Five thousand is enough for me to hire a good lawyer to send Tian Xueya to jail."

"Just wait for the court summons."

Ma Xiu'e didn't expect to lose more than she gained. She panicked and immediately wanted to grab Ning Shaobai. "Xia Mian's brother, you can't do this. How could our Xiaoxue commit a crime?"

Ning Shaobai dodged her and said, "The court will decide whether a crime has been committed. Don't you think she's right? Then let the court decide if she's right."

Ma Xiu'e didn't dare to be tough anymore. "It's just a fight between children. There's no need to make such a big fuss..."

Ning Shaobai obviously didn't want to argue with her, so he said goodbye to Michael directly. Before leaving, he couldn't help but tapped Xia Mian's forehead and said to her in a meaningful way, "Study hard."

Hao Jianguo quickly chased after him, "Hey, Xia Mian's brother, let's go together..."

Ma Xiu'e also hurried to catch up, "Boss Hao, wait, Xia Mian's brother!"

Sun Yuexin looked at the two men in disarray with amusement, "Humph, they deserved it!"

Li Lizhen said with a crazy look on her face, "Oh my god, Xia Mian, your brother is so handsome!"

"Why didn't I realize how cool he was that day? I couldn't even breathe when he first came in."

Sun Yuexin said, "That's right. I thought it would take a while, but your brother has been here for less than five minutes and everything has been resolved."

Michael also said, "Isn't your brother a doctor? Why is Hao Jianguo so flattering?"

"He's a doctor," Xia Mian felt a surge of pride in her heart. "He's a PhD student who studied abroad. But besides being a doctor, he also has some cool side jobs, haha."

Sun Yuexin asked curiously, "Your phone? Hao Jianguo's attitude changed immediately after seeing that phone."

Xia Mian didn't say much, just said, "I borrowed this to make it easier to call the police. I'll return it another day. Who knows what happened?"

Nowadays, mobile phones have no games and no functions, and have no appeal to high school students. Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen just heard of it.

Michael didn't care either. He was concerned about his students. "Xia Mian, will your brother really sue Tian Xueya?"

Xia Mian tilted her head and said, "I'll go back and persuade him. As long as Tian Xueya and her mother don't bother me anymore, mainly because her mother is so annoying."

"It's annoying," Michael smiled bitterly and breathed a sigh of relief, "but they probably won't dare to do that now."

"Okay, you guys should go back to class."

After coming down from the second floor and leaving Michael's sight, Sun Yuexin said angrily, "Just let them go like this?"

Xia Mian asked, "How is that possible?"

"People like this need to be taught a lesson."

Sun Yuexin immediately rolled up her sleeves and said, "Tell me, what's your plan?!"

Xia Mian asked, "Do you remember the back-up plan I told you at the temple fair?"

Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen looked at each other and nodded, "Remember."

"You'll help me, right?"

They both said in unison, "Of course!"

Xia Mian put her arms around their shoulders and praised them, "Good sisters!"

Back in the classroom, Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen stared at the study plan on the table:

"Is this your plan?"

"Is this your back-up plan?"

Xia Mian said, "Of course, I originally thought that this rumor was enough to dispel it, but I didn't expect Hao Jian to be involved and the matter would become so big."

"But it seems we still have to use it now. According to this plan, maybe by the time of the midterm exam we can all surpass Tian Xueya!"

Xia Mian looked at their surprised expressions and said, "What? You don't think I'm going to hit someone, do you?"

She widened her eyes and said in disbelief, "How could a gentle fairy like me be someone who would fight?"

Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen thought of the two cups of tea they had just finished and nodded in unison.

Xia Mian narrowed his eyes in confusion, "Huh?"

The two of them shook their heads quickly, feeling a little scared.

Xia Mian smiled slightly and said, "Doesn't Tian Xueya look down on us? Then we must ride on her head and make her unable to turn over!"

"And when it comes to academic performance, even if she changes classes, is assigned to a different class, or even changes schools, she can't escape it!" Xia Mian declared, "We will always keep her firmly under control!"

"After the college entrance exam, send her and her mother a copy of our university acceptance letter. Do you think it would make her feel better?!"

Sun Yuexin & Li Lizhen: …

It’s cruel, really too cruel.

I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt a little pitiful for Tian Xueya.

Xia Mian smiled and patted the two men's shoulders and said, "I remember you said that you would help me no matter what, right?"

"It would be so boring if I could suppress her alone."

Sun Yuexin & Li Lizhen: …

Well, before sympathizing with Tian Xueya, they should take care of themselves first.
