Zhang Dan's mother made a phone call to a friend, and soon after, the principal also came to the office.
When asked why he hit someone, Yanling shouted, "Go ask Zhang Dan!"
Even now, he still cares about his ridiculous pride and refuses to answer personally.
Standing behind her parents, Zhang Dan said timidly, "That day, Yanling invited me to his house. When I got there, we watched TV together for a while, but he fell asleep almost immediately. After he fell asleep, I left his house. Who knew he would suddenly come and slap me today? Waaah..."
Yan Ling retorted angrily, "You're talking nonsense! You clearly admitted it yourself when I asked you just now!"
"What did I admit to?"
Zhang Dan was certain he wouldn't dare reveal that she had tattooed words on his butt, but to her surprise, her parents anxiously pressed her for details: "He invited you to his house? What's your relationship with him? How long have you known each other?"
"I am her boyfriend. Although we haven't known each other for long, we love each other!"
Yanling's courageous speech elicited various reactions from the crowd. Teacher Sun felt a wave of dizziness wash over him; he wished he could faint immediately so he wouldn't have to face the parents or the principal.
Zhang Dan's parents were furious. What nonsense was this scoundrel spouting?! How could their daughter be dating him?!
The principal froze for a few seconds, trying to salvage the situation. He stared at Yanling sternly and said, "You must be responsible for your words. Don't say things you don't mean just because you're afraid of punishment!"
Yan Ling glanced at him dismissively: "She's my girlfriend. You can ask her if you don't believe me."
All eyes turned to Zhang Dan. She shrank back and said timidly, "I don't know if we're boyfriend and girlfriend. Whenever someone bullies me, Yanling always comes to my rescue. To thank him, I've been treating him to meals for a week. He said he didn't have any money, so I gave him some."
Although Zhang Dan didn't say it explicitly, the meaning behind her words is hard not to ponder.
Yanling always manages to show up at the exact same time, which is too much of a coincidence. He even gets Zhang Dan to spend money on him. Is this a normal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?
"Principal! I hope you can explain this to us properly. We sent our child to school to study, but who knew there would be such a scheming and bad student here. He's not talking about dating; he just wants to find a long-term meal ticket for our child because he's rich!"
Yanling never expected Zhang Dan to make these things public. She had only eaten a few meals with her, and she had to reveal that!
Upon hearing this, the principal quickly said, "Zhang Dan must have thought of helping Yanling because she saw that his family was in difficulty. I didn't expect Yanling to misunderstand her good intentions."
After saying that, he stared intently at Yanling, hoping he would be more sensible. "Yanling, right?"
Yan Ling completely ignored Principal Man Han's threatening tone. He felt deceived at that moment. This Zhang Dan actually refused to acknowledge their relationship!
Then I thought again, she must be afraid to be honest, and I can't back down.
He is not a coward; he is willing to fight the whole world for love. Zhang Dan's parents just don't understand him yet, but they will definitely accept him in the future.
Because he is the one who can bring happiness to Zhang Dan.
Just as Yanling was about to speak up for love, Jiang Wei, who had been playing a supporting role all along, moved. Unlike his nephew, he wasn't confident. He could tell that the female student wasn't infatuated with his nephew and wouldn't speak up for him.
If his nephew continues to speak out, it will only be more detrimental to him.
"That's enough, Yanling. This female classmate is just trying to help you. Don't talk nonsense."
"Uncle! Why don't you believe me? You're my family!"
Jiang Wei felt a pang of disappointment towards his nephew. At this point, was it really a matter of whether he believed it or not?
Even if he believes it, so what? Will Zhang Dan's parents let him off the hook? Will the school and teachers let him off the hook?
The best course of action right now is not to admit to being in a relationship, as schools cannot tolerate students who are in relationships too early.
Unfortunately, his own nephew didn't understand his good intentions at all, and thought that his uncle was a coward and not as brave as him.
The uncle walked up to Zhang Dan and said sincerely, "Yan Ling was too impulsive and hurt you. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Zhang Dan's father supported him, saying, "This is a matter between my daughter and your nephew. I do not accept your apology."
He did something wrong, shouldn't he be the one to apologize?
Jiang Wei froze. How could Yan Ling possibly apologize? He was Yan Ling's parent; wasn't it enough that Yan Ling apologized in person?
Yanling glared at his obsequious uncle, feeling humiliated by him. He yelled at his uncle, "I did nothing wrong! She did something bad to me first, so I hit her! Why don't you believe me!"
The uncle turned around and slapped Yanling hard across the face, the crisp, loud sound echoing throughout the room.
Yanling stared at his uncle in disbelief. He actually hit him? What right did he have to hit him!
He glared at his uncle with resentment and ran quickly out of the office.
Jiang Wei reverted to his previous humble demeanor, repeatedly apologizing to Zhang Dan's parents.
He knew in his heart that they were the ones who could decide his nephew's life or death. As long as they didn't hold him accountable, Yanling could stay in school unharmed.
Jiang Wei's nephew is now in his second year of high school and will graduate in a year. He can't drop out of school, and he doesn't have the ability to transfer him to another school. Apart from getting the understanding of Zhang Dan's parents, Jiang Wei really can't think of any other way.
