Chapter 148 Tangled
“Grandma, have you forgotten?” Zhong Nianyao smiled and explained, “During that time, wasn’t I traveling? I only found out about Shen Yixue’s award after I came back.”
"I'll go to the school in person tomorrow," Mr. Zhong made the decision immediately. "I want the school to give us an explanation as soon as possible."
After hearing what Grandpa Zhong said, Zhong Nianyao quickly spoke up to stop him, "Grandpa, there's really no need to mobilize so many people. Now that things have gotten so serious, the school will definitely not ignore it and will give us an explanation soon. So, I don't think we need to push the school so hard."
"But..." Old Master Zhong frowned, "If we don't show up for such a big thing, will the academy think that we don't take it seriously at all?"
"Grandpa, I've made this a big deal, and the school can't afford to let it go any longer." Zhong Nianyao continued, "We've always been on the right side, and today I've exposed the matter in front of so many people. If we continue to be aggressive at this point, it will seem like we're being unreasonable. I'm afraid the school will be dissatisfied with us then!"
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Old Master Zhong pondered for a moment and nodded, "Let's do this for now! However, if the academy doesn't give a reasonable explanation in the end, I will definitely come to your house and ask for an explanation."
"Okay, okay." Seeing that Mr. Zhong had given up the idea, Zhong Nianyao quickly spoke up to promise, "If the academy doesn't treat me fairly and impartially, not only Grandpa, but I myself will also seek justice again."
Old Master Zhong rolled his eyes at Zhong Nianyao, “You still talk about yourself so powerfully, but now you are being schemed by Shen Yixue, um, what people now call a saintly white lotus. It’s really shameful.”
Zhong Nianyao stuck out her tongue and teased with a smile, "Grandpa, you are amazing! You even know what a Saint Mother White Lotus is."
I have to say that Mr. Zhong's description is really appropriate. Isn't Shen Yixue a big white lotus of the Virgin Mary?
"That's right!" Old Master Zhong raised his head, but then reacted and cast a suspicious look at Zhong Nianyao, "Are you mocking me?"
"Of course not," Zhong Nianyao immediately pointed to the sky and swore, "Grandpa, everything I said is from the bottom of my heart!"
Next, with Zhong Nianyao's deliberate change of topic, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren had a very happy chat.
The Zhong family here is harmonious and harmonious, but in the hospital on the other side, Shen Yixue's heart is suffering.
She had been waiting in the hospital ward for almost the entire day, but Li Jingming hadn't come back yet. She didn't know what to do now.
She had already thought about how to explain to Li Jingming, how to gain his sympathy, and how to make Li Jingming forgive her.
However, no matter how much she thought about it, it was useless because she couldn't see anyone at all, let alone anything else.
Li Jingming never came back, so Shen Yixue had to leave the hospital on her own.
There was nothing wrong with her body to begin with; she had fainted because of the shock. Now that she was awake, there was no need for her to stay in the hospital any longer. Furthermore, the cost of staying was far too high, and she simply couldn't afford it.
Because Li Jingming was too anxious, he sent Shen Yixue to the private hospital he usually went to. Moreover, because he left in a hurry, he also forgot to pay the bill.
This is a private hospital, unlike a public one. The patients who usually come here for treatment are wealthy people who are unlikely to default on their medical bills. Therefore, the hospital's system is different. Even if you don't pay the deposit, the hospital won't urge you to pay it. Instead, it will be paid upon discharge.
Since Li Jingming was away, Shen Yixue had to settle the medical expenses by herself.
Seeing that her balance was suddenly missing, Shen Yixue felt endlessly irritated.
After what happened today, she didn't dare to go back to live at the school for the time being. But at the same time, she didn't want to go back to that small, dark home.
In desperation, she could only find a hotel and stay there first, and then start thinking about what to do tomorrow.
Now that Zhong Nianyao has been exposed for everything she did, it is definitely impossible for her to get the first prize money again.
Next, she had to plan carefully what to do. She also didn't know how the school would handle it.
However, one thing is certain, now she must try her best to hold on to Li Jingming, this is her only life-saving straw.
Lying in bed, Shen Yixue still couldn't fall asleep for a long time. When she thought of what happened today, she almost trembled with anger.
Her years of business, her reputation, everything she had, were all destroyed today. And the one who caused all this was Zhong Nianyao.
She even began to suspect that Zhong Nian Yao was deliberately trying to trick her because she knew she was going to participate in the competition.
Early the next morning, Shen Yixue called Li Jingming directly.
She didn't dare go back to school, nor did she dare to go directly to Li Jingming's house. No matter whether Li Jingming lived at the Li family's or Chen Sisi's house, she didn't dare to go to his house at this time. So, she could only call.
She was not worried at all that Li Jingming would not answer her calls because she knew very well what kind of person Li Jingming was, he was too soft-hearted and he must still have feelings for her.
As long as Li Jingming answers the phone, she will have a way to save the relationship.
More than half an hour later, Shen Yixue heard a knock on the door. She sorted out her emotions, quickly changed her expression, and then went to open the door.
Li Jingming, who was standing outside the door at this time, also had a confused look on his face.
He didn't know if he was too impulsive to come here today, because his mother had already warned him yesterday.
However, when he heard Shen Yixue crying on the phone just now, he still couldn't turn a blind eye. Moreover, he was also worried that Shen Yixue would do something stupid.
Finally, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The door was opened quickly, and what came into view was Shen Yixue, whose eyes were filled with tears but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She looked stubborn but pitiful.
The moment he saw Shen Yixue, Li Jingming felt that all his psychological construction was shattered at this moment.
