Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Ultimately, Still Too Naive Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Ultimately, Still Too Naive “No, the police just said that Nian Nian has been bullied by them before. I can’t rest easy if they continue to stay in the same school,” said Zou Hongling, even though Jiang Nian remained silent.
“Then send Jiang Nian abroad,” Mr. Jiang interjected.
“Dad, are you crazy? Why should that girl be sent abroad?” Jiang Youyi glared resentfully in Jiang Nian’s direction.
Why should that girl get to go abroad?
Especially with their family’s money, she didn’t agree.
“Shut your mouth!” Mr. Jiang shouted angrily, “Haven’t you embarrassed us enough already? Since you don’t agree to her going abroad, then we will send you instead.”
Jiang Youyi immediately fell silent.
She definitely didn’t want to go abroad.
Being alone in a foreign country, all isolated–what’s so good about that?
At this moment, Jiang Nian lifted her head and said, “I don’t want to go abroad.”
A flicker of displeasure crossed Mr. Jiang’s face. As someone who was used to being in a position of power, he hated it when others defied him.
Yet his daughter and wife were repeatedly contradicting him, which displeased him greatly.
Meanwhile, as Mr. Jiang had arrived, Shen Zhaozhao was being pulled out of the police station by Sheng Chuyi.
“Why didn’t you let me speak just now?” Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help but ask on the way home.
Sheng Chuyi stopped and looked at her: “Shen Zhaozhao, you do know who Jiang Youyi’s father is, right?”
Shen Zhaozhao nodded and then shook her head: “Last time I seemed to hear Zhou Huaiyu say that her father is one of the directors of our school.”
Sheng Chuyi spoke seriously, “I don’t oppose your willingness to help people, but before you help, I hope you will think first if you have the ability to help and have you considered the consequences that you might have to face after helping?”
Shen Zhaozhao fell silent.
She understood what he meant; he was worried that by opposing Jiang Youyi, she might face retaliation from the Jiang Family.
Jiang Youyi was fearless precisely because she had the support of the Jiang Family behind her.
Being without power or influence didn’t mean one should be bullied.
Shen Zhaozhao pursed her lips and after a moment, lifted her head and said, “I’ve thought it through. If I encounter the same situation again, I will still stand up.” Even if it meant expulsion, she couldn’t just stand by and watch a classmate be bullied.
Sheng Chuyi was not surprised by her answer; he always knew this girl’s temperament.
Which was why he didn’t stop her when she stood up and even helped to call the police.
He never thought he could persuade her otherwise.
“I’m not telling you not to help,” he said, “just that you might think beforehand if there’s a way to help without compromising yourself.”
Instead of just rushing forward blindly.
“I got it!” Shen Zhaozhao wasn’t the type to be ungrateful; she knew Sheng Chuyi said these things for her own good.
In the matter with Jiang Nian, she was indeed a bit impetuous.
“Then tell me, do you think Jiang Nian will agree to a settlement?”
Sheng Chuyi fell silent for a moment before saying, “She will.” Even though the answer might not be what she wanted to hear, ideals and reality are often different matters.
“Why?” Shen Zhaozhao’s brows furrowed slightly, “I think her mother really cares about her; maybe she’ll insist on suing Jiang Youyi for her sake?”
Sheng Chuyi gave her a look but said nothing.
The girl was still too naive.
In the world of adults, it is more about weighing pros and cons.
The only reason an agreement wasn’t reached from the start was because one side didn’t offer enough yet.
But she doesn’t need to know all this now.
She will understand in time.
