Everyone knows that Canxing is an elite private school. Most of the students there come from wealthy and powerful families, and the school is clearly divided into different social classes.
Special admissions students hold the lowest status at Canxing.
The idea of a special admission student bullying an S-level student at Canxing sounds like a fantasy.
Qin Xiaoxiao was originally filled with righteous indignation.
But when Jiang Nian asked her to speak in front of Grandpa Qin, she suddenly choked up.
Jiang Nian did indeed pour a spoonful of soup over her head in front of everyone at the restaurant.
But that's because she first soaked all the food for the special admissions students in soup.
If Grandpa asks about it, and if he knows that she was the one who started this arrogant and domineering act of wasting food, he might be even angrier.
How dare she say that?
"I, I..."
Jiang Nian looked at Qin Xiaoxiao kneeling on the ground, a cold and indifferent smile playing on her lips: "What, Miss Qin, can't you say it?"
Qin Xiaoxiao bit her lip so hard that her nails almost crushed her palms.
She never expected that Jiang Nian would know the truth.
What was even more unexpected was that after Jiang Nian learned the truth, she went to her uncle and brought the Qin family to support her.
Old Master Qin's chest heaved with anger as he said to Qin Xiaoxiao, "So, Xiaoxiao, you admit that you arranged tonight's events."
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes reddened, and she still wanted to argue, "Grandpa, let me explain..."
"What else is there to explain?!" Old Master Qin interrupted her abruptly, his face ashen.
“I, Qin Wei, have always acted with integrity, yet my granddaughter has done such a treacherous and scheming thing. This is a failure of the Qin family’s upbringing.”
Grandpa Qin looked at Jiang Nian and said, "Nian Nian, you've been wronged today. I must give you an explanation for what Xiao Xiao did to you."
He then shouted with a stern face, "Someone, bring me the whip!"
The whip is part of the Qin family's family discipline.
It was a specially made whip made of rattan, of the right length and with excellent resilience.
It won't leave any wounds when it hits a person, but it will be extremely painful, a pain that pierces to the bone and lasts for a long time.
The Qin family rarely resorted to family discipline. Only when a younger member of the Qin family committed a serious offense would the old master Qin have the whip brought out.
The last time Qin Xiaoxiao was whipped was when she was a child. At a party, she snatched things from other children and even hit them. When she got home, her grandfather disciplined her.
The whip lashed her for three whole days, and she was so in pain that she didn't even dare to lie down to sleep. As a result, she developed a deep psychological trauma from that cane.
From then on, she learned to pretend.
No matter what she is like outside, she is always well-behaved and sensible in front of her grandfather, uncles and aunts.
And now, she's already so old, and in front of Jiang Nian, her grandfather actually wants to whip her?
"No, I don't want to be hit," Qin Xiaoxiao said, tears welling in her eyes, looking pleadingly at Qin Ming beside her. "Dad, please talk to Grandpa! I know I was wrong, please don't hit me anymore."
Qin Ming never expected that Old Master Qin would punish Qin Xiaoxiao so severely.
Xiao Xiao made a mistake, but no matter what, even if Jiang Nian saved Old Master Qin's life and treated her elder brother's son, she is still just an outsider.
How could you whip Xiaoxiao just because of an outsider?
Seeing that the servant had already brought the whip, Qin Ming couldn't help but step forward to stop him.
“Dad, Xiaoxiao is young. She had a little conflict with her classmates at school and did this just to vent her anger.”
"Our primary focus is still on education; the important thing is to make Xiaoxiao realize her mistakes."
Qin Ming then looked at Jiang Nian, "Didn't Miss Jiang say that someone called you at the party and clarified your identity on the spot? In other words, your reputation wasn't really damaged."
“As Xiaoxiao’s father, I personally apologize to you on her behalf. Please forgive her this time. If Xiaoxiao does it again in the future, just tell me, and I will definitely teach her a lesson.”
Qin Ming's words were perfectly watertight.
Since Qin Xiaoxiao's scheme didn't actually succeed, let's not pursue it further; a symbolic reprimand will suffice.
Qin Ming also mentioned that he personally apologized on behalf of his daughter—the word "personally" was used quite subtly.
It is a concession made by the superior to the subordinate.
If Jiang Nianruo doesn't accept, she'll be ungrateful.
After all, in Qin Ming's eyes, Jiang Nian was only kind to Old Master Qin and his elder brother's family because of her medical skills. In essence, she was just a high school student with no power, influence, or background.
Moreover, Jiang Nian hadn't done him any direct favors, so he naturally wanted to protect his own daughter rather than give her an explanation.
Jiang Nian understood it clearly.
Seeing her father come out to defend her, a smug look flashed in Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes.
So what if Jiang Nian makes a scene at the Qin family's house? This is the Qin family's house, and her surname is Qin.
Before Old Master Qin could speak, a question suddenly came from outside.
He seemed nonchalant, yet carried a hint of coldness: "—Is that so?"
"Does Mr. Qin mean that we have to wait until my baby is really harmed by your daughter before she can make her pay the price for her actions?"
Jiang Nian was somewhat surprised to hear the familiar voice.
As soon as I looked up, I saw Si Boye walking in with his eyes narrowed.
That naturally dazzling face instantly captured everyone's attention. His casual gaze swept over the crowd, and his powerful aura instilled a sense of awe in everyone.
Qin Ji was also standing nearby. As soon as he arrived, he glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao on the ground and angrily cursed, "Qin Xiaoxiao, you've really grown some guts now, huh? You even dare to do this kind of thing in private?"
Qin Ming didn't react for a moment.
Si Boye, the only grandson of the old man Si, who was unruly and arrogant, and also his son's childhood best friend, was someone he naturally knew.
But Si Boye just mentioned his baby?
Then Si Boye walked towards Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian was slightly taken aback: "How did you get here?...You knew?"
Si Boye has an international conference tonight.
So she hasn't told him about tonight's events yet.
Si Boye had no idea of his identity as a fugitive.
"Qin Ji heard about it and then told me."
When Si Boye spoke to Jiang Nian, his eyes became deep and unfathomable.
Without any regard for Qin Ming's presence, she stroked Jiang Nian's cheek and asked, "Have you been wronged here by yourself?"
“No, Grandpa Qin is on my side,” Jiang Nian said directly.
But the implication was that Old Master Qin was on his side, while Qin Ming was not.
Qin Xiaoxiao's shoulders trembled when she saw Si Boye.
She was still kneeling on the ground. Seeing herself in such a wretched state was worse than death for Si Boye!
Grandpa Qin was also very surprised. He had seen Jiang Nian and Si Boye together in Jiangcheng last time, but he never expected that the two had this kind of relationship.
"Bo Ye, you and Niannian..."
"Grandpa Qin, Niannian is the person I love. She was almost framed, I can't just ignore it."
Si Boye stood there, yet his aura was extremely oppressive as he stared at Qin Ming and spoke casually.
"I believe that given Grandpa Qin's character, he wouldn't condone his granddaughter's wrongdoing without any real punishment."
