Principal Yang nodded with satisfaction. Look how polite the students from Third High were, nothing like those from Second High, where both the teachers and the students were unreasonable.
"Shen Mianmian, you’re just in time. A teacher from Second High and this student who claims to be your cousin say you stole money. What do you think about this?"
"Principal, I came here to talk to you about this matter. A few days ago, my adoptive parents made a scene at the school gate using this accusation. We all went to the police station, which not only cleared my name of the theft but also resulted in them severing ties with me. My household registration has been moved out, and I have nothing to do with them from now on, so naturally, this person has nothing to do with me either."
This statement was made for the principal to hear, but it was also for Zhou Siyu to hear. Since she and Zhou Lanfang had no more relations, naturally, she and Zhou Siyu were no longer related. What cousin was there to speak of?
Upon hearing this, the principal’s expression faltered. If Shen Mianmian was no longer related to the Shen Family, then who would take care of her living and schooling?
However, he knew that now was not the time to discuss this matter, so he nodded and looked at Wan Dongcheng, "Teacher Wan, do you have anything else to say?"
His expression had changed the moment Shen Mianmian appeared; he couldn’t believe this brazen girl dared to face him, and what angered him even more was that he had no leverage over Shen Mianmian.
Suppressing his rage, he said, "Principal Yang, since you all protect students , there is no use in me saying anything more."
Zhou Siyu, however, was stunned by Shen Mianmian’s words. It took her a while to recover before she said, "What did you say? You’ve severed ties with your family? How is that possible? You are the illegitimate daughter of my uncle, a blood relation that can’t be broken."
She had never heard of a child truly being able to sever ties with their parents.
Shen Mianmian scoffed, "It seems your information isn’t very current. Why don’t you make a call and ask when you get a chance? And stop calling me an illegitimate child, as I share not a single penny’s worth of blood relation with your uncle."
"How is that possible?" Zhou Siyu couldn’t believe it. Her aunt had clearly said that Shen Mianmian was the illegitimate child.
Zhao Xinlan also didn’t believe Shen Mianmian’s words, "Shen Mianmian, you are the illegitimate daughter your father had with another seductress. Everyone knows it. Stop making excuses here."
"Watch your mouth from now on. If I hear you spreading nonsense about me again, I’ll sue you for defamation," Shen Mianmian warned coldly.
Her voice was not loud, but it carried a deterrent effect. The look in her eyes gave Zhao Xinlan a spine-chilling feeling.
Lu Siyuan always felt that Shen Mianmian’s present demeanor was very similar to someone he knew, similar to... the coldness that Brother He exuded. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Thinking this, his face darkened, and he immediately became unhappy.
No wonder people say, "One takes on the color of one’s company." It seemed true that if you spend enough time with someone, you start to resemble them.
Neither Principal Yang nor the teachers expected such a young Shen Mianmian to demonstrate such a powerful presence; this child would certainly be extraordinary in the future.
Wan Dongcheng and his two companions were silenced by Shen Mianmian alone; Principal Yang felt quite gratified. They had pushed their way in aggressively, and he wasn’t someone to be trifled with. He immediately said,
"Shen Mianmian, come with me to Second High. I want to ask the principal of Second High what he means by condoning a teacher and a student to come and insult our Third High ."
"I am coming too." Lu Siyuan was the kind who enjoyed a good show and didn’t mind if things got bigger.
