Chapter 292 How to Settle Her
"Since student Jiang Huaiyu has made a pact with student Wu Jiangsheng, let’s proceed according to the established agreement. You don’t need to participate in next year’s college entrance examination. I will inform your homeroom teacher, and make sure you do not sign up for the exam," said Principal Nian.
Jiang Huaiyu naturally objected: "Principal Nian, didn’t you just say that the school prohibits gambling, and that our bet is invalid?"
Principal Nian smiled: "There are two ways to handle this matter. The first is to follow through with the bet privately, and the school will not interfere."
Jiang Huaiyu was stunned. If she followed the bet privately, she would not be able to take part in next year’s college entrance examination.
"And what if the principal deals with it?"
"If you want the school to handle this matter, that’s also possible. But considering your recent major demerit and now committing such a serious mistake, the school’s handling would mean at least an expulsion from the student registry."
Expulsion from the student registry!
Jiang Huaiyu nearly collapsed: she did not expect the principal’s handling to be so severe.
By following the private agreement, she simply would not participate in next year’s college entrance examination. She could find that person to think of a solution, maybe even take the exam in a different place. However, according to the principal’s handling, expulsion would leave her without even a graduation certificate. Where would she be able to take the college entrance examination then?
She clenched her teeth: "Fine, I’ll—accept the bet and admit defeat!" She said and then strode away, but not before glaring fiercely at Shen Qi: It was all this shit-stirrer’s fault, taking her picture and recording her voice. Otherwise, it would be Wu Jiangsheng who couldn’t take the college entrance exam.
However, not being able to take the college entrance exam in Wujiang County didn’t mean she couldn’t take it somewhere else. She believed that mysterious person would definitely be able to help her!
When Gu Dongxing brought Ye Qing back to Jiangshang Village, Hai Xue was extremely surprised.
"Who is this young lady?" she asked.
"This is Grandpa Ye’s eldest granddaughter, Ye Qing."
Ye Qing quickly extended her hand to support Hai Xue: "Auntie, I’m Ye Qing. I used to play with Brother Gu when I was little."
Hai Xue instantly understood: This girl was Gu Dongxing’s betrothed fiancée from childhood.
She looked at Gu Dongxing.
Gu Dongxing sighed: "Mom, Ye Qing is here to see you."
After some polite conversation, Hai Xue poured a cup of tea for Ye Qing: "Miss Ye, please have a seat for a while, I’ll go and prepare some food."
She also called for Gu Dongxing: "Dongxing, come help me start the fire."
Ye Qing hurriedly said: "Auntie, let me help you start the fire."
Hai Xue promptly stopped her: "You’ve traveled far to come here, how can we make you start a fire? Besides, you’ve just recovered from illness; you need to rest more. Just sit for a bit and have some tea."
Knowing she wanted to speak with Gu Dongxing, Ye Qing did not insist any further but just smiled: "Alright, I’ll be lazy then."
Hai Xue pulled her son aside in the kitchen: "Son, what is all this about? Last time it was Ru Shui, and now—"
Gu Dongxing sighed: "Mom, Ye Rushui was already married, but since she did not have children after four years of marriage, her in-laws despised her, and she divorced."
Hearing that Ye Rushui was divorced, Hai Xue felt as if she had been deceived.
Her son was so excellent, he could choose any maiden he wanted, why would he consider a woman who was already married once?
Moreover, Gu Dongxing was her only child, of course, she hoped for him to have descendants. And since Ye Rushui hadn’t had children after four years of marriage, she might indeed be infertile.
Thus, she completely gave up on Ye Rushui.
Gu Dongxing sighed: "Ye Qing is a girl with a hard life. After her grandfather passed away, she was tricked by her stepmother and married off to a worthless man."
He briefly related Ye Qing’s experiences to Hai Xue.
"She was tormented by that man to the brink of death, and it was Mengyu who rescued her and cured her illness. If you had seen her a few days ago, you definitely wouldn’t have thought she was the same Ye Qing."
Hai Xue felt great sympathy for Ye Qing: "So what do you plan to do with her now?"
