Chapter Fifteen: Accusation
Si Zuochen didn't know if Si Youlin had taken his words to heart, but he didn't mention Jiang Ran again along the way. The two of them attended a prestigious private school, and given the Si family's status, their classmates' families should have already warned their children to avoid them.
But ever since Si Yanxiao had his accident and fell into a coma, and Jiang Ran's attitude towards them was already common knowledge in high society, things have changed.
This puts Si Zuochen and Si Youlin in a very awkward position.
At this age, when people are competitive and eager to prove themselves, it's inevitable that some will try to ridicule them.
Si Youlin had just entered the classroom when a classmate came in and said someone was looking for him.
The whispers of her classmates could be heard around her: "It's that guy from the Fu family again, isn't it? He's always picking on Si Youlin, why bother?"
"Who knows? They probably just don't like each other."
"But only he dares to provoke this troublemaker."
Si Youlin frowned slightly upon hearing this, put down his schoolbag, and walked out.
As soon as he stepped out of the classroom, he was greeted by a person about his age, with several followers standing behind him.
Si Youlin sneered: "You're looking for me?"
It's probably true that their horoscopes don't match. Fu Yuyang felt inexplicably angry when he looked at Si Youlin. Even though he was having a really tough time, he still had to put on a show of being successful.
What a hypocritical and despicable person!
"Si Youlin! Are you sick? You're always whining to your parents. If you're so capable, then stop playing tricks behind their backs!"
Fu Yuyang raised his voice to accuse him.
Upon hearing this, Si Youlin was taken aback at first, then reacted, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.
"Oh? No wonder I haven't felt any flies buzzing around my ears these past few days. So you got scolded."
"What happened? Has Uncle Fu locked him up again?"
Fu Yuyang was furious when he heard this. If it weren't for Si Youlin tattling, he wouldn't have gotten this scolding.
His father used to dote on him, but when it came to the two members of the Si family, he became like a gunpowder-fueled monster.
He was explicitly forbidden from bullying them at school, and they were required to help each other.
Pooh!
Si Youlin, that troublemaker, doesn't need his help. He's the undisputed king of the school, and it's just that he comes to cause trouble from time to time.
They even made things difficult for them.
"Is there something you need?" Si Youlin didn't bother to reply. "If there's nothing else, I'm going in."
"Hey! How dare you talk to my boss like that?" A transfer student behind Fu Yuyang suddenly spoke up, taking a few steps forward to teach Si Youlin a lesson.
Si Youlin frowned, and just as the man's hand touched his shoulder, he pulled the man's hand back.
"Bang!"
Then I heard a thud as something heavy fell to the ground.
Fu Yuyang watched this scene and couldn't help but reach out and rub his forehead.
How embarrassing...
When the transfer students came to their senses, they found themselves lying on the ground.
Just then, Si Zuochen's voice came from behind.
"What are you doing?"
Upon hearing the voice, Fu Yuyang jolted awake and turned around respectfully, saying, "Brother Zuo Chen."
Si Zuochen nodded as a greeting, walked up to Si Youlin, and frowned as he looked at the person lying on the ground.
He said to Fu Yuyang, "Take it with you, don't take up space."
"Okay, okay." The two classmates behind Fu Yuyang helped him up.
Speaking of Si Zuochen, even though he is the same age as him, he has always had that imposing and dignified demeanor since he was a child.
He dared to provoke and show off in front of Si Youlin, but dared not say a word in front of Si Zuochen.
"The exam is about to start, let's go in." Si Zuochen looked at Si Youlin and said in a low voice.
"Hmm." Si Youlin nodded, giving Fu Yuyang a provocative look before leaving.
Fu Yuyang suppressed his anger. The transfer student who had just hit him rubbed his shoulder where he had been bumped, completely bewildered.
He asked the person next to him, "What's going on? Why did the boss just leave so obediently?"
His classmate glanced at him sideways and explained, "You're new here and don't know, those two are the school's troublemakers. You should avoid them from now on."
"Don't let the fact that the boss usually provokes Si Youlin fool you. If anything happens to Si Youlin, the boss will be the first to rush to his aid!"
Although we dislike each other, we are still the best of friends.
"Ring ring—"
As the bell rang to signal the end of the exam, the students returned to their classrooms to continue their lessons.
On the other side, Jiang Ran was having a great time when her phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
She hesitated for a moment, then pressed the answer button.
"Hello, are you the mother of Si Zuochen and Si Youlin?"
Jiang Ran was taken aback. Her first thought was, "Here we go again?"
Have I been "kidnapped" again?
Despite his displeasure, he had to admit, "Um, who are you?"
"I am their homeroom teacher. Today was supposed to be a mock exam, after which classes would be held as usual, but they skipped class. I would like to ask if you were aware of this?"
"have no idea."
"Skipping class is a demerit, and when I call you, you always say you don't have time to make excuses. You even send the nanny to parent-teacher conferences. Do you know how your child behaves at school?"
Jiang Ran frowned as she listened to the teacher's accusations.
So what does this mean?
Should we condemn her?
Seeing that Jiang Ran didn't speak, the teacher continued talking to himself.
"These two kids often fight and skip classes at school. Even if there are any problems at home, they shouldn't be left to their own devices."
"Oh?" Jiang Ran couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly asked, "How are their grades?"
The teacher paused for a moment, but still said truthfully, "Si Zuochen is first in the whole grade, and Si Youlin is also among the top students."
"But for this parent, grades don't tell the whole story."
"Hmm." Jiang Ran nodded. "You're right, but since I've sent my child to school, the school should be responsible for him during his time there." "What's the point of telling me about skipping class? Shouldn't the teachers be providing moral education?"
After saying that, Jiang Ran let out a long sigh: "Teacher, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
Without waiting for a reply, he hung up on his own.
Oh…
As a teacher, if you fail to fulfill your duties and take no action, and instead immediately question and condemn me when you answer the phone, what can you do besides standing on the moral high ground?
Anyway, she couldn't be bothered with those two brats; she wouldn't interfere unless something serious happened.
Meanwhile, after Si Zuochen and Si Youlin skipped class and went home, they found that Jiang Ran had not yet arrived home.
Even if Si Zuochen remained calm and composed, he couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
He rushed to the basement of the internet cafe, but found the windows wide open and the person was already gone.
"So she jumped out the window and left?"
Back at the villa, Si Zuochen recounted the incident to Si Youlin, who was utterly astonished.
"Hmm." Si Zuochen nodded, but his brows were furrowed.
What he couldn't understand was that if that woman jumped out of the window, her first reaction should have been to return to the villa in a fit of rage and cause them trouble.
How could they have disappeared without a trace, without even making a scene?
Just as Si Zuochen was racking his brains trying to figure it out, the phone in the lobby suddenly rang.
Si Zuochen and Si Youlin exchanged a glance, then walked over to answer the phone.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Ah Chen." Old Master Si's voice came from the other end of the phone.
