Chapter 1918: Chapter 1919: Have Security Escort You Out
She glared at Rong Yan with contempt, "Isnât she just a washed-up celebrity! There are plenty of celebs who are parents at Shenghui; I donât even remember seeing her face on TV. She probably isnât popular. Why would top-tier stars show her any respect, afraid of a nobody actress like her?"
Principal Lanâs expression changed abruptly, and he quickly checked the reaction of the man next to him. Seeing the manâs sullen face, his heart trembled, weighing the situation, he stepped forward, "Old Madame Han, you can eat indiscriminately, but you canât speak indiscriminately. This is a school, not a place for your quarrels. If you continue causing a scene, Iâll have no choice but to have security come and send you out!"
The old madam was stunned and stuttered, "Principal Lan, did you get it wrong? Our family donated a library to the school..."
The principal perhaps hadnât recognized her, how could he try to drive her out?
Principal Lanâs eyebrows didnât budge, and he replied officially, "The donation from student parents for the schoolâs library is a voluntary act; the school thanks these donating families on behalf of its 30,000 students."
He changed his tone, "But the school has absolutely not privately promised these student parents that their children will receive special treatment in the future. If you feel that the schoolâs use of your donation amounts to a private transaction with you, well, you can talk to the finance department, and Iâll have them return the money to you."
Shenghui itself is a aristocratic school, neither lacking money nor connections, but who would refuse free money.
He wouldnât dare to take the hit for the sake of a mere million dollars.
As the principal of Shenghui, he is also among the elite of Capital City; while he doesnât have as much money as the typical tycoons, his social standing isnât low, having taught many students and possessing quite a lot of information. He had caught wind of what happened at the Shen Familyâs old masterâs banquet.
This Mrs. Li herself is a treasure, not to mention her formidable husband behind her!
He wasnât stupid enough to not know which side he should take!
"Principal, thatâs not what I meant..." The old madam is inherently timid and afraid of conflict with strong personalities, and once met with resistance, she cowered.
Her eyes couldnât help but sneak a glance at her daughter.
"Lily..."
With her own mother seeking help from her, Mrs. Han, despite wanting to chastise her as the inept teammate, had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, apologizing with a wry smile to the principal, "Principal Lan, my mother is old and speaks clumsily. Please donât take it to heart."
She then awkwardly apologized to Rong Yan, "Miss Rong, I know what happened with the children. Certainly, it must be our child who was ignorant and caused trouble first. Iâm apologizing on behalf of him to you."
She didnât forget to command her son, "Dabao, come over here and apologize to your classmate!"
She understood the stakes involved; the child did not grasp these complexities and refused flatly, shouting, "Why should I apologize to a pretty boy! I wonât apologize! You must get the principal to expel him; I donât want to see him at school, or else Iâll stop coming!"
The old madam hugged her grandson tenderly, discontentedly criticizing her, "What are you doing, Dabao got his tooth knocked out, and youâre still asking him to apologize?! I absolutely donât understand you. Isnât Dabao your son?"
Mrs. Han was anxious inside but couldnât outright explain to her mother about Rong Yan and their identities, so she impatiently said to her, "Mom, Iâm teaching the child, donât interfere!"
The old madam wouldnât let go, insisting on protecting him, "Dabao is my grandson too; how can I not care! I will care! Their child hit ours, yet weâre asked to apologize. Nowhere is this considered appropriate!"
