The next day, Nan Yan took her schoolbag and headed to school.
Upon arrival, she first went to the office to get her absence marked.
Standing outside the office, as she was about to knock, she overheard the headmaster’s words filled with anger from inside.
“Principal, the school is a place for nurturing talents, a sanctuary where students should be protected, allowing them to focus solely on their studies.”
“But now, just because the Jiang family has a background and a stronger position, you want to pretend not to see it. How can students trust the school? How can they trust their teachers?”
“Old Yu, calm down,” the principal’s voice sounded helpless. “In the end, we’re just ordinary teachers. The Jiang family has power and influence. If we offend them, they can easily shut down the school with a single word. What can I do?”
“We shouldn’t interfere; this is a matter between the Lu family and the Jiang family. The Lu family also has a decent background. Regardless of which family it is, it’s not something us teachers can meddle with. Let them resolve it themselves.”
The headmaster sneered, “Principal, your way of handling things may have its merits, but forgive me for not agreeing. I will get to the bottom of this matter.”
The principal’s voice turned serious, “Old Yu, why put yourself through this?
Your actions will only make it difficult for the school.”
Nan Yan stood outside the office, listening to their conversation, not paying too much attention.
After a while, the conversation inside had ended, and she heard footsteps approaching the door. Nan Yan took a step back, thinking for a moment.
The principal, with an angry expression, opened the door and walked out, his face darkened. When he saw Nan Yan standing at the steps, he hesitated, quickly composed himself, and assumed his role as the school principal.
“Principal,” Nan Yan greeted him calmly.
The principal, adopting an air of authority, replied with a curt “Hmm.” He asked, “Are you here to see the headmaster?”
“Yes, to request to cancel leave.”
“Come in.”
“Alright.”
Nan Yan ascended the steps and knocked on the door.
A voice from inside responded, “Come in.”
The headmaster, who had been somewhat upset earlier, changed his expression as soon as he saw Nan Yan. He put on a smile and said, “Nan Yan, you’ve finally returned.”
“Is the competition over?”
“Yes,” Nan Yan replied as she took a seat opposite him. “I came back today to resume classes.”
“Then you must work hard, don’t forget that you promised to rank first in this month’s exam,” the headmaster said sternly.
Nan Yan nodded in agreement. “Rest assured, since I’ve made the commitment, I will study diligently.”
“And don’t forget about the physics competition in three weeks. You should participate.”
“I know.”
What she had suggested in order to approve her leave back then definitely had to be counted.
Seeing Nan Yan’s cooperative attitude, the headmaster’s mood improved considerably.
He took a deep breath and said, “The final exams are only two months away. During these two months, you must attend school regularly and not take leave without a valid reason.”
Nan Yan replied candidly, “This… seems like I can’t promise…”
The headmaster stared, “What else do you want to do?”
“For now, there’s nothing, but it might not stay that way,” Nan Yan replied honestly. “If I genuinely need to take leave for a valid reason, I hope it can be approved.”
The headmaster sighed in resignation. “Alright, alright. If you have a legitimate reason, I can grant leave, but you must ensure that your studies don’t suffer.” “Understood. You don’t need to worry about my studies.”
“Very well, you may go to your class now. It won’t be long before the next lesson.”
After leaving the office, Nan Yan went to Class 4.
Her classmates greeted her with excitement, calling her “big sis” and congratulating her on winning the esports competition. However, the atmosphere quickly quieted down.
It seemed like something was bothering them, and Nan Yan noticed that the seat next to her desk, which belonged to Lu Rongrong, was empty.
Taking into account the snippets of conversation she had overheard outside the headmaster’s office, Nan Yan had a vague idea of what had happened.
“What’s going on? And where’s Lu Rongrong?”
The girl sitting next to Lu Rongrong’s desk replied cautiously, “She’s still in the hospital.”
“Big sis, after school today, we plan to visit Rongrong. Would you like to join us?” The girl asked cautiously.
“I’ll decide after school,” Nan Yan replied from her seat.
After placing her backpack in her seat, she took out her phone and hacked into the school’s surveillance system.
Nan Yan wasn’t someone who liked to meddle in other people’s business. Especially with this group of students from Class 4, she initially had a poor impression of them
However, after two months of getting to know them and witnessing their changes, her attitude towards them had softened somewhat.
Ultimately, Nan Yan had a kind heart. When others treated her poorly, she could respond without showing a hint of emotion. But when people treated her well, she would reciprocate in kind.
The video had already been deleted by the Jiang family, but Nan Yan spent a few minutes recovering the shredded files. Once she had restored the video, she clicked to play it.
The entire process took less than five minutes, but the surveillance footage was clear and well-recorded. Nan Yan saved the video and then opened her notebook.
When the school bell rang, it didn’t affect her at all. She propped up a book and discreetly placed her notebook behind it, continuing her task.
Due to He Zhizhou’s reminder, she had discovered someone impersonating her on a Western academic website. Since it involved her, she couldn’t ignore it.
Throughout the morning, Nan Yan was engrossed in her research. None of her teachers demanded her attention, and no one exposed her inattentiveness.
In the afternoon, she went to the computer lab for a brief assessment, and soon it was time for dismissal.
Returning to her classroom from the computer lab, planning to collect her things and head back to her old mansion, Nan Yan walked in and found that everyone was looking at her.
“Big sis, would you like to go see Rongrong with us after school?” Lu
Rongrong’s deskmate looked at her with anticipation.
“Are you all waiting for me?”
Nan Yan frowned as she surveyed the classroom.
“Yes,” Gu Yuhao, the class monitor, approached her. “Boss, it’s just a quick visit to Rongrong. It won’t take up much of your time.”
“Alright, let’s go then..”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
