When Qin Yao heard those two words, her mind went blank for a moment before she could think of three words: "It's over."
Then, looking at Qi Jiu with doubt and confusion, how could an adopted daughter be related to Xing Yue? What is her background?
"Knock knock knock!"
The man who pushed open the door was dressed in a black suit, his hair was meticulously styled with hair gel, and he looked travel-worn, as if he had just rushed over from the company.
"Mr. Qi, what's going on?"
As soon as Qi Silin entered the room, his gaze fell on Qi Jiu, completely ignoring everyone else around him.
Bystanders: "..."
“Ah Lin, we are here…”
Madam Qin stood up abruptly from the sofa, all traces of her former arrogance gone. Now she looked like a mouse seeing a cat; if there were a crack in the ground, she would definitely crawl into it!
"I'm asking Boss Qi."
He stared intently at the person sitting on the sofa smiling at him, not even glancing at the Qin couple beside him.
The impatience in their tone silenced the Qin couple.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the office froze.
Only Qi Jiu felt completely relaxed. "The Qin family said that they have the Qi family behind them, so will the Qi family care about what happened today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Silin turned to look at the Qin couple, who were huddled up like quails, not daring to utter a word.
Qin Yao wanted to speak, but seeing Qi Silin's current state, she was afraid of being scolded and ultimately remained silent.
"The Qi family only provides assistance on occasions; they are not the Qin family's 'toilet paper'."
The implication is that the Qi family has nothing to do with this matter.
"Okay." Qi Jiu nodded and called over the teacher who had been trying to remain invisible. "Then, teacher, let's follow the rules. How should we deal with school bullying?"
"What bullying! You're talking nonsense! Why is our Yaoyao deep in thought!"
Recently, many cases of school bullying have emerged, becoming a hot topic online. Now, if this school bullying is pinned on them, they could end up in jail if it gets serious!
This charge cannot be dropped lightly!
"Nonsense? Qin Yao is arrogant and domineering in class because of her uncle!" Qi Jiu glanced at Qi Silin unconsciously when she said "uncle".
Qi Silin: "..."
"No school bullying? Then tell me, why did Sisi's schoolbag end up on the lawn? Did it grow legs and run there by itself? And the pig's head on the test paper, did the red pen stand up and draw it by itself?!"
Do textbooks and stationery grow legs and run into the toilet by themselves?
Qi Jiu's expression grew increasingly grim as she spoke, while Lu Zhe, listening nearby, also wore a somber expression. He had only taken half a day off, and yet this had happened.
He knew beforehand that Qin Yao and Sisi didn't get along, but he never expected Qin Yao to do something like this.
Madam Qin's expression turned unnatural. "What evidence do you have to prove that Yao Yao did this?"
"There are surveillance cameras in the classroom, did you forget?" Qi Jiu was so angry she almost laughed. Are people in City A so stupid these days?
"Nonsense! The surveillance footage clearly..."
In her emotional outburst, Qin Yao turned to retort, but only realized her mistake halfway through her sentence. Why had she said that?
In an instant, all eyes in the office were on her.
Qi Jiu clicked her tongue twice. "Is it that hard to recover a surveillance video?"
"I……"
"Teacher Jia, you know the rules of Chuyang Middle School better than anyone else, as the homeroom teacher. Handle it truthfully, don't be afraid of anything, Xingyue will take care of it if anything happens."
The Qin family members dared not speak. Qin Yao stood aside, knowing that nothing she said would make a difference, but she still wanted to try to turn the tide.
"Uncle, no, I..."
Qin Yao tried to grab Qi Silin's sleeve with her fingers, but he dodged her hand by turning to the side.
Qi Silin's face had long since turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was on the verge of losing his temper.
"The Qi family helped the Qin family back then because Grandpa was mindful of past relationships and wanted to make things easier for the Qin family in City A, not because he was bullying them!"
"Ah Lin, it's not like that..."
Qi Silin didn't give Madam Qin a chance to continue speaking, interrupting her sharply. "It seems your Qin family no longer needs the Qi family. The Qi family's support for the Qin family ends here this year!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin objected.
How can they manage without financial assistance? They're hoping to climb the social ladder by relying on the Qi family's position!
"What about the old man..."
“I will speak to the old man. He is very old, and now I am the one who calls the shots in the Qi family.”
Madam Qin looked at Qi Silin, trying to salvage the situation, but he didn't even glance at her. Meanwhile, Qi Jiu was sipping her tea like a king.
In the end, Qin Yao left the school in tears, while the Qin couple, pale-faced and looking like they had lost their souls, left the office.
On the way back, Chen Sisi held the black business card that Qi Jiu had casually tossed out in the office and pursed her lips.
Qiqi is so amazing! Only she is like a soft persimmon, not daring to refute.
"Qiqi, can you please not tell Mom and Dad about this?"
She was cowardly. Although she wasn't the bully, if word got out, the eldest daughter of the Shen family would lose all face.
Also... she didn't want her parents to worry.
Qi Jiu turned to look at her and shook her head. "I didn't tell Mom and Dad, but for Chen Sisi, this is the first and last time."
Hearing Qi Jiu call her by her full name for the first time, Chen Sisi felt sweat breaking out on her back and couldn't help but sit up straight.
Can anyone tell her why this woman is so scared when she isn't frowning or holding a weapon?
Qi Jiu looked at her somewhat bewildered face and sighed.
"Sisi, you are the eldest daughter of the Shen family in City A. Apart from the Qi family, you have nothing to fear in the entire City A."
It's not a good thing that the Shen family protects you too much. If you don't fight back, others will take advantage of you, especially in cases of school bullying.
There's nothing wrong with being friendly with others, but don't be a hothouse flower; you need to have your thorns too!
This is probably the sentence she has said most often since coming to China.
Chen Sisi looked up at Qi Jiu's serious face and nodded. "I understand."
"Mr. Qi, don't be so fierce, you're scaring Sisi."
Chongyu, in the driver's seat, occasionally glanced at the situation behind him through the rearview mirror.
They were two girls who looked to be about the same age. One was wearing a school uniform and kept her head down, not daring to say a word; the other had her arms crossed and looked much more mature.
Qi Silin turned his head and glanced back, a premonition telling him that this was not a good time to speak.
