Chapter 12 Invitation to a Banquet
"Do you have evidence?"
"He got full marks by stealing the test papers. I found them in his drawer." The principal gritted his teeth and added, "He and his sister are the same kind of people. Neither of them is innocent."
"I heard that someone from the Mu family came to see you a few days ago and gave you a watch. Is this considered evidence of taking bribes and slandering students?" Li Rongsen asked him in a cold tone.
He was stunned by this, his face flushed the color of liver, and he screamed at the top of his voice, "You're talking nonsense! I'm going to sue you for spreading rumors! I'm the best principal in the country, and I can't stand your unreasonable accusations!"
Li Rongsen felt that he looked very funny, and from his subconscious action of looking towards the safe, he came to a more accurate conclusion that the watch was hidden inside.
He smiled and said, "This is a one-of-a-kind limited edition. That's quite tempting. Otherwise, why would you be willing to destroy your reputation of over twenty years?"
The principal had calmed down now, his tone filled with pride as he said, "This school belongs to the Lu family. I am the most knowledgeable and educated member of the Lu family. If it weren't for my hard work, there wouldn't be the nation's top institution of higher learning today." He added, "Don't talk to me about watches. If you find them, I'll give up my position as principal."
"Not only do you have to give up your seat, you also have to personally invite An Yichen back to class." Li Rongsen said as he stood up and walked towards the safe.
The principal was a little nervous at first, but then he felt that his nervousness was unnecessary. How could he possibly know the password to the safe?
But Li Rongsen opened it very easily, took out a limited edition diamond gold watch from it, and said to him, "Well, now the evidence is in my hands, what else can I say?"
"How do you know that?"
"The owner of the watches happens to be my friend. Every watch has its own place, and it's clear." Li Rongsen placed the watches on the table, sat down again, and said, "Hold a school-wide meeting, admit that you wronged An Yichen, and resign."
"Why? This is our Lu family's property. Who do you think you are?" He was angry and absolutely refused to agree.
But Li Rongsen didn't have time to explain to him. He stood up and said, "You'd better do what I say, otherwise you will assume the worst, and that will be your result."
"You dare to threaten me, how dare you!?" Before the principal could finish his words, he fell back into the chair, gasping for breath, holding his heart. He watched Li Rongsen walk out of the office and heard the phone on the desk ringing.
He picked up the phone and heard the person on the other end say, "Principal Lu, I'm telling you that from now on, this school will be called Li, not Lu. Please wait for the arrangements to be made."
Principal Lu was stunned and didn't even notice the phone slipped from his hand.
He struggled for a long time and finally called An Yichen.
An Yichen was of course surprised. Although she was angry, she also wanted to go back to school, so she immediately agreed and returned home in a very good mood, thinking that she finally didn't have to worry her sister.
He was a little surprised when he walked into the community. There were several cars parked downstairs, and people were going up and down the stairs one after another, holding things in their hands, such as clothes and shoes.
These were all prepared for An Yan, so that she could look decent when attending the dinner party. They were all luxury brands, and one item cost hundreds of thousands. It can be seen that Li Rongsen was generous.
But she herself doesn't think so. She is still not picky and useless. She still wears a simple sweatshirt, jeans and white sneakers, which makes her look plain and pretty.
She had just cut her hair short, not for any other reason but also so that it would be more convenient if she needed to work hard again.
Li Rongsen was waiting for her in the back seat. When he saw her, he didn't recognize her. Her short hair made her face look softer. She didn't put on much makeup, just orange lipstick, which made her skin look even fairer. He asked, "Why don't you wear the clothes I prepared for you?"
"We're just going to have tea, why do you have to wear that evening gown?" she asked him.
He stared at her for a long time and finally said nothing.
An Yan added, "Actually, there's no need to invite me for tea. I've completely forgotten about it."
"Today is my mother's birthday party. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have the chance to attend. I'm still very grateful to you." Li Rongsen said what was in his heart. He really wanted to thank her.
"We're even, after all, you guaranteed my brother." An Yan said as she looked at him sideways, and added, "Of course, if you weren't there, I would have found a way to get him in to work."
Li Rongsen chuckled. He felt that she was being too arrogant and said, "We will have a lot of guests at home today. Come with me."
"Please don't, let's go our separate ways to avoid any trouble."
"Are you someone who is afraid of things?" He was a little unconvinced.
"I'm not afraid of trouble, but I hate mad dogs." An Yan hinted at something.
Li Rongsen knew who she was talking about. He seemed to be explaining something and said, "My mother thinks Wang Lina is pretty good."
An Yan didn't react, and she didn't care.
The car soon arrived at the Li family compound, a large manor with magnificent gold and jade. After passing the first large iron fence, you have to go through a garden before you can reach the main hall inside.
A banquet is being held on the first floor. Today, celebrities from various fields have gathered here, all of whom are top figures.
Li Rongsen got out of the car first, opened the door for An Yan very gentlemanly, and said to her: "Let's go in together, lest some people don't have eyes and misjudge you."
An Yan got out of the car and said, "You go ahead, I'll follow."
Li Rongsen did not force her and led the way ahead, but he didn't know that she was not in a hurry to catch up.
An Yan first took out her cell phone and set an alarm. She had to go home early so that her father and brother wouldn't worry. Just as she was about to go, someone grabbed her arm. Turning around, she saw that it was Mu Mingya and Wang Lina. Both of them had fierce looks on their faces.
Wang Lina said, "Why did you come here? You are so shameless! How can you sneak into a place like this?"
"I just ordered takeout. It's probably for delivery. Look how poor she is. The total amount of money she has on her body is less than 100 yuan." Mu Mingya said as she dragged An Yan's arm to the small garden next to her.
Wang Lina also followed and said, "It's good that she came. She hasn't avenged her last time yet."
"Let me go." An Yan shook off Mu Mingya's restraints. She really looked down on these two women who looked down on others.
"The things in my bag can be used to deal with you." Wang Lina said as she sprayed something on An Yan's face.
Mu Mingya quickly covered her mouth and nose, ran behind Wang Lina, and said, "Just find any man to make her miserable."
"Finding one is not enough, we need to find several, let her enjoy it well, and then publish this scandal in the newspaper tomorrow to see if she can still survive." Wang Lina said as she sprayed at An Yan for a long time.
