Here, at Night Garden.
Su Hua changed into a suit dress and came downstairs.
"Miss, do you think it's credible that Young Master Lin said the love letter was sent to you?" Butler Wang asked curiously.
Su Hua looked at her with a mocking expression: "Uncle Wang, it was you who told Lin Xuan about the love letter incident, right? That's why he sent those things to me." There couldn't be such a coincidence in the world. Ye Li had just sent her a love letter, and Lin Xuan contacted her shortly after, also sending her a love letter.
There was only one possibility: someone had tipped off Lin Xuan.
"Miss, since you think that letter was meant for Qin Ruoyao, why didn't you pursue the matter of Lin Xuan's love letter?" Butler Wang was shocked. So, the young lady knew everything...
"As long as he's still willing to lie to me, to coax me, that's enough. I don't dare to ask for more. The way he is now, even if it's just an act, is so much better than before. I can't bear to tear apart the beautiful facade of our relationship." Su Hua's lips curled into a bitter smile.
So that's how it was.
Butler Wang looked at Su Hua with pity.
Who would have thought that Su Hua, who dominated the business world and stepped over the bones of her siblings to become the head of the Su family, could be so humble and vulnerable over a man...
She hoped Lin Xuan wouldn't let her down. Otherwise, it would be too cruel for the young lady...
"Miss, I feel that this time, Young Master Lin might truly be willing to stay by your side," Butler Wang comforted her. "He told me that the love letter was written before he saw Qin Ruoyao's true colors. The person he is now is different from the person he was in the past."
"It doesn't matter if he's unwilling."
Su Hua's eyes narrowed dangerously. "He can only be my man. If he's unwilling, I'll chain his hands and feet and lock him up forever."
Butler Wang: "..."
Well, the young lady's yandere tendencies were showing again.
Su Hua's phone suddenly rang. Seeing Lin Xuan's name on the screen, the hostility in her demeanor vanished completely.
"Lin Xuan," Su Hua said gently.
Butler Wang: "..."
Only Young Master Lin could bring the young lady back to her senses, though he was also the cause of her yandere tendencies.
Lin Xuan coughed awkwardly. "Su Hua, I got into a fight at school. I need a parent to come."
"I'll have my secretary handle it."
Su Hua really wanted to go to the school herself, but she needed time to calm down. She couldn't scare him.
Jiang Qing hurriedly rushed to Bai Linjiang's office.
Bai Linjiang frowned. "Secretary Jiang, you seem to be in a hurry. Is there something urgent you need me to handle?"
"Yes, something very important," Jiang Qing replied. "You need to go to Shangqing University right now."
"Does Shangqing University have some kind of equity dispute with President Su?" Bai Linjiang asked curiously.
"No, President Su wants you to handle a student fight," Jiang Qing answered.
"Me?" Bai Linjiang pointed at himself, his face full of shock.
He was a top-tier lawyer, one of the best in the field. And they wanted him to handle a student fight?
Wasn't that a waste of his talents?
"Secretary Jiang, I still have the Wang case to deal with. Why not let Lawyer Wang handle it? He's quite capable and can definitely take care of it," Bai Linjiang resisted. Having him deal with a student fight was just too demeaning.
Jiang Qing smiled. "Secretary Bai, President Su specifically requested you to go. This person is very important to her. If you handle it well, there will be rewards."
A very important person?
Bai Linjiang's interest was piqued. He nodded. "Alright, I'll head over right away."
Ye Li's parents were also locals of Yundu City. They lived near Shangqing University and arrived at the principal's office quickly.
They were decked out in gold and silver, looking like typical nouveaux riches.
As soon as Ye's mother saw Ye Li's bruised and battered face, her heart ached.
"Oh, my son, my dear son! How did you get beaten up like this?" Ye's mother pulled Ye Li close, her eyes filled with concern.
Ye's father, on the other hand, walked over with a stern expression. "Are you the one who hit my son?"
Lin Xuan had one hand in his pocket. "It was a mutual fight. He couldn't beat me. Whose fault is that?"
"Lin Xuan, you're lying!" Ye Li shouted. "You were the one who beat me up!"
"Then how did I get this injury on my face?" Lin Xuan pointed to the corner of his mouth.
Ye Li was speechless.
He had fallen right into Lin Xuan's trap! No wonder Lin Xuan had been provoking him! And no wonder he hadn't dodged when Ye Li hit him!
Ye Li glared at Lin Xuan.
Well, well, well! He was getting smarter!
Ye's mother was furious. "My son is always gentle, polite, and kind. He wouldn't even step on an ant! How could he hit you? That injury must be self-inflicted!"
"Madam, even if I did it to myself, can you prove it? Can I also say that Ye Li's injuries are self-inflicted?" Lin Xuan's tone was downright arrogant.
"How can you be so unreasonable? Do you have no manners?" Ye's mother glared at him.
Ye's father, however, remained calm. His voice was icy. "Even if you were injured, you only have one wound. My son has over a dozen!"
"Principal, doesn't your school have a rule that students who fight will be expelled?"
The principal nodded. "Yes, we do have such a rule. But let's wait for Lin Xuan's parents to arrive before we discuss this further."
Ye's father sat down on the sofa. "Fine, I'll wait. I want to see who raised such a fine son!"
They waited for about ten minutes, but Bai Linjiang still hadn't arrived.
"Oh, could it be that Lin Xuan's parents feel guilty and aren't coming?" Ye's mother sneered.
"Don't be in such a hurry. He's coming from far away and hasn't arrived yet," Lin Xuan said calmly.
"Fine, I'll wait," Ye's mother snorted. She had heard from Ye Li that although Lin Xuan's family had some money, he wasn't well-liked at home. His parents probably wouldn't blindly defend him.
Click, click, click—
The sound of high heels echoed as Jiang Shuqin walked into the principal's office.
Lin Xuan frowned. He had forgotten that the contact number he left at school was his family's. The school was cautious about students forging contacts, so in cases like this, they would call the parents directly!
Jiang Shuqin's face was grim. "Lin Xuan, it's only your first day at school, and you're already causing trouble. You're really something!"
"Are you Lin Xuan's mother?" Ye's mother asked disdainfully.
Jiang Shuqin glared at Lin Xuan.
This disgraceful son of hers had really humiliated her!
"Yes, I am," Jiang Shuqin said, taking a deep breath.
"So, what are you going to do about your son beating up my son?" Ye's mother crossed her arms, looking down at her.
"How much money do you want? I'll pay!" Jiang Shuqin said through gritted teeth.
Jiang Shuqin had already decided on the way here that it was Lin Xuan's fault. He was always causing trouble, lawless and unruly. Who else could be at fault?
When she arrived at the principal's office and saw Ye Li's bruised face, she was even more convinced!
Since it was Lin Xuan's fault, she had no choice but to apologize humbly.
"Money? Do we look like we need money?" Ye's mother sneered.
"I want him!" Ye's mother pointed at Lin Xuan. "I want him to kneel and apologize to my son! And then slap himself twenty times, saying 'I was wrong' with each slap. Not only that, I want him to publicly apologize to my son over the school broadcast."
"Tch." Lin Xuan scoffed.
"Lin Xuan, why aren't you doing what Auntie Ye said?" Jiang Shuqin barked.
Lin Xuan ignored her and turned to the principal. "Principal, she has nothing to do with me. My family hasn't arrived yet."
