Yan Ling was unaware that he had been selected as a student from a poor family, and he was plotting how to win Jiang Xin over.
He thought he had come up with a brilliant idea, so he summoned his underlings and told them his thoughts. One of them asked, "Brother Ling, she's not in our class, and everyone in the school knows her family is rich. Nobody will dare to bully her, right?"
Yan Ling smiled confidently: "Don't forget, I have quite a few female fans. If I just let them know that I like Jiang Xin, they'll tear her apart!"
"Brother Ling, your idea is excellent. As long as they bully Jiang Xin, you step in and play the hero to save the damsel in distress. Wouldn't Jiang Xin be completely devoted to you?"
"Hey, I didn't realize you were so talented."
"hey-hey"
It has to be said that Yanling and his underlings are not very bright. They don't even consider that, given Jiang Xin's family background and her glamorous appearance at the school gate that day, who would go against Jiang Xin for Yanling's sake? Isn't that just asking for trouble?
Several of his underlings spread the word that Yanling had taken a liking to Jiang Xin, but after waiting for several days, no one came to make things difficult for Jiang Xin.
Yan Ling couldn't sit still any longer and went to intercept Jiang Xin once again.
As soon as Jiang Xin and Huang Wei stepped out of the women's restroom, they saw Yan Ling standing at the door like a statue. He struck what he thought was a very handsome pose, tilting his head back and deliberately turning his profile towards the restroom, gazing melancholically ahead.
The two women simultaneously wore expressions that were hard to describe. Was this person brain-dead? What normal person would pose for a photo at the toilet entrance?
Jiang Xin grabbed Huang Wei's hand and sprinted like a hundred-meter dash, giving that idiot no chance at all.
Yan Ling noticed that his target had run away, so he immediately stopped showing off and quickly chased after Jiang Xin.
Huang Wei glanced back, then quickly turned to Jiang Xin and said, "Yan Ling is chasing us!"
The two girls hurriedly sped up, but Yanling's short legs couldn't keep up, and he could only watch helplessly as Jiang Xin disappeared from his sight.
Huang Wei ran back to the classroom with lingering fear, and then vividly recounted to her classmates what had happened when she encountered Yan Ling at the entrance of the restroom.
"Ugh... Is that Yanling crazy? He's actually standing guard outside the restroom."
"Does he really think he's some big shot at school? He's so arrogant all the time, I don't know what he's so proud of!"
"Class monitor, that guy is going around telling everyone he likes you, and now he's stalking you. Does he think being liked by him is something to be happy about?"
"Dare to block our class monitor? Do you not respect the people of Class 3?"
"Exactly! It's one thing for him to act like a bully in his own class, but he even dared to come and block our class monitor. We have to teach him a lesson!"
Jiang Xin stopped everyone: "It's not worth dealing with someone like him. The more you pay attention to him, the more energetic he becomes. Let's focus on our studies and ignore him. If he comes to me again, I will tell Teacher Liu."
The next day, during morning exercises, the principal announced something: "Chenguang Group has decided to sponsor outstanding students at our school, Yu Zhou from Class 5 of Grade 11 and Xia Qin from Class 3 of Grade 11. We will also be giving special sponsorship to a student from a poor family in our school—Yan Ling from Class 5 of Grade 11! Applause!"
Yanling was chatting and laughing with his younger brother. This kind of outstanding student thing had nothing to do with him. He would never become an outstanding student in his life.
To his surprise, he heard his own name the next second. His underling exclaimed in astonishment, "Brother Ling, isn't the principal talking about you?"
Yanling stood in the middle of the playground, feeling as if struck by lightning. What had he just heard? He had been given financial aid as a student from a poor family? Who made that decision?!
His classmates around him cast strange glances at him, and he felt that they must be laughing at him in their hearts.
Yan Ling felt a surge of anger rush to the top of his head, making him feel like he was about to ascend to heaven on the spot. To hell with this poor student! He has an uncle, how is he poor!
His eyes were bloodshot with rage, and the flames of anger consumed his reason. He rushed to the front of the stage and roared at the principal, "I'm not a poor student! I have parents! I don't need money!"
The principal glanced at him dismissively: "Your father has passed away, hasn't he? Your mother remarried? Your uncle took you in, didn't he? How come your family isn't poor anymore?"
As far as I know, your uncle and aunt don't earn money easily. They already have a daughter, and now they have to support you as well. Shouldn't you try to ease their burden?
Yanling felt as if the principal had ripped off his face in front of everyone and then slammed him to the ground to be trampled on. He glared fiercely at the principal and stubbornly argued, "I am not a burden! My uncle is raising me voluntarily!"
Heh, the principal let out a forced laugh. How could this student be so ungrateful? If it weren't for President Shu's assistant's instructions that he was the son of an old friend and that he had to be on the list of those receiving funding, he would have already kicked this arrogant person out!
"Why don't you think about your uncle's family? Alright, it's great that someone is willing to sponsor you! So many people want to but don't!"
Yan Ling gritted his teeth, his face filled with crazed hatred, his eyes fixed on the principal with a dark and brooding gaze.
That old guy did it on purpose! He must have deliberately made himself look bad in front of the whole school!
He's going to skin him alive!!!
The principal was not intimidated by an ignorant child. He coughed lightly, and security guards immediately came up and pulled Yanling away. Yanling wanted to rush onto the stage and fight the principal, but he could not break free from the security guards' iron grip and could only stand there in helpless rage.
Seeing that Yanling was overreacting, Teacher Sun quickly called his uncle and asked him to come to the school immediately.
When my uncle received the call from his homeroom teacher, his heart skipped a beat. Every time the teacher called him, it was never anything good, which made him feel uneasy whenever he saw the teacher's phone number.
"Hello……"
"Uncle Yanling, please come to the school right away!"
Without waiting for his reply, Teacher Sun hurriedly hung up. The uncle smiled helplessly and had no choice but to ask his supervisor for leave.
Upon hearing that he wanted to ask for leave, the leader's smile vanished, and he asked coldly, "What? Has your nephew caused trouble at school again?"
"Um……"
Jiang Wei's head was almost hanging down to his chest; he had lost count of how many times he had asked for leave because of Yan Ling.
"Wow, you're so good to your nephew! You're such a model uncle! Go ahead, but your bonus this month is going to be deducted."
"Boss, I..."
"Go ahead, isn't the school waiting for you?"
The leader simply told him to leave; he couldn't be bothered to listen to this idiot's explanation.
"Some people seem to have something wrong with their brains. They don't even care about their own daughters this much, but they're so devoted to a nephew. Are they sick in the head?!"
Before closing the door, Jiang Wei overheard his boss's complaints. His face turned red, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.
