DLSRWAR Chapter 13 Everything was arranged clearly and explicitly.

“About the apology you mentioned…” Qin Yumian lifted her rounded, glossy almond eyes, her gaze indifferent as it rested on Xu Lili across from her. “What exactly did I do wrong? Why should I apologize?”

Chen Lanping hadn’t expected that even with the victim standing right in front of her, Qin Yumian would still deny everything. Furious, she snapped, “The slap marks on Xu Lili’s face are proof that you hit her. With both witnesses and evidence, what else do you have to argue?”

Qin Yumian tilted her head slightly, her tone filled with confusion. “How can you prove that the slap marks on her face were caused by me?”

Chen Lanping had no concrete evidence to directly link Qin Yumian to the assault. However, Teacher Xu was from the advanced class and didn’t know Qin Yumian, so there was no way she could be falsely accusing her.

At that moment, Du Yuehe stepped out of the classroom. “Teacher Chen, I can testify. I saw Qin Yumian bullying someone in the bathroom today, but I didn’t see which classmate that was bullied was, so I didn’t report it to the school…”

Hearing this, Chen Lanping seemed to have finally seized the opportunity. She quickly confirmed, “Du Yuehe, you really saw Qin Yumian hitting someone in the bathroom?”

Du Yuehe glanced at Qin Yumian and nodded. “Yes.”

Chen Lanping’s eyes sparkled with a hint of satisfaction. “Qin Yumian, now that we have an eyewitness, let’s see how you plan to argue your way out.”

Qin Yumian’s expression remained unchanged. She casually glanced toward the staircase.

After a brief pause, Qin Yumian suddenly smiled. “I admit that I was the one who hit her, but if you want me to apologize, I’m afraid Xu Lili might not be able to handle it.”

“Good, as long as you admit to hitting someone,” Chen Lanping sneered. “I will report this to the school immediately. Students like you, who are so stubborn, have no place in our school.”

With that, Chen Lanping instructed Du Yuehe to organize a self-study session and then strutted off on her high heels, head held high as if she were a victorious rooster, to find the principal.

Once Teacher Xu saw that the matter had been resolved, she took Xu Lili and left without lingering.

Hao Jiajia and the others rushed out. “Sports rep, Sun Erniang has got a hold of your weakness this time. She definitely won’t let it go. She’s probably gone to the principal to request your expulsion.”

Zhao Qian added, “My dad has some influence with the principal. I’ll ask him to plead with the principal. We’ll make sure you’re not expelled.”

Hearing their concerned words, Qin Yumian curved her slightly longer eye corners into a smile.

Ye Hancheng wasn’t worried about whether his wife would be expelled. Instead, he eagerly suggested, “If you do get expelled, why not come to the capital with me? I’ll have my big brother find you the best school!”

Qin Yumian: “…”

Looking at the handsome face of the young man, Qin Yumian lowered her gaze slightly, as if truly contemplating his suggestion. “But I’m unfamiliar with the capital. Where would I stay if I went?”

Ye Hancheng responded without hesitation, “Of course, you’d stay at my place.”

His wife didn’t live with him; did she plan to live with someone else?

Hao Jiajia interjected, “But Brother Han, you and the sports rep are just ordinary classmates. If the sports rep stays at your place, won’t your parents misunderstand?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Hancheng raised an eyebrow. What did they mean by “just ordinary classmates”? They were legally married, had kissed, and even xxoo—although that was in the previous life.

But Ye Hancheng firmly believed that Qin Yumian would eventually be his wife again.

Because his wife couldn’t live without him!

“I live with my big brother, but I also have my own place—a four-story villa. If you don’t want to live with my big brother, we can move there.”

Hao Jiajia: “…”

Why does it feel like, instead of bringing a classmate home, you’re introducing your wife to your parents, Brother Han?

Others couldn’t help but marvel at how a young man like Ye Hancheng already owned property, confirming that he was indeed a wealthy second-generation from a big city.

Seeing how clearly Ye Hancheng had arranged everything, Qin Yumian helplessly said, “I won’t go to the capital.”

A hint of disappointment flashed across Ye Hancheng’s handsome face but quickly disappeared. After all, wherever his wife was, that was where he would be.

During the second period of evening self-study, Qin Yumian was called to the office.

Hao Jiajia and the others were too preoccupied to focus on their classes, so they crowded around the office door, eavesdropping on the unfolding drama.

Qin Yumian noticed Ye Hancheng standing out among the crowd. The young man was leaning on the windowsill, craning his neck to look into the office. When he saw her glance over, he flashed her a heart sign.

The incident had not only attracted the principal’s attention but also brought Xu Lili’s parents to the school.

Seeing the handprints on their daughter’s face, Xu Lili’s parents were deeply pained. Mother Xu, in particular, was furious and began cursing on the spot.

Recognizing that Qin Yumian was the one who had hit her daughter, Mother Xu stormed over, ready to teach her a lesson.

Qin Yumian furrowed her brow slightly and raised her hand to block the slap coming from the middle-aged woman. “Auntie, hitting someone in front of so many people doesn’t seem appropriate, does it?”

Mother Xu spoke harshly, “How did your parents raise you? Bullying others at such a young age, what kind of person will you become when you grow up? You’re definitely a dregs of society.”

“Look at what you’ve done to my daughter! If anything serious happens to her, I swear, I’ll make sure you pay with your life!”

Father Xu didn’t stop his wife from making a scene. He adjusted his glasses and adopted a reasonable tone. “I hope the school handles this matter with the utmost seriousness.”

Principal Zhu, sitting calmly in his chair, glanced at the silent Qin Yumian and said with a smile, “We will certainly provide a satisfactory answer to both of you. But aren’t you curious why Qin Yumian did this?”

“Is there ever a reason to hit someone? My daughter must have ruined some plan of hers, so she harbored resentment and took it out on my girl,” Mother Xu shrieked. “Where are her parents? Bring them here! I want to ask them what kind of upbringing they’ve given their daughter!”

Chen Lanping interjected, “Qin Yumian’s parents have passed away. She is now raised by her grandfather.”

Upon hearing this, Mother Xu looked at Qin Yumian with disdain and sneered, “It turns out she’s an orphan with no parents.”

Qin Yumian, who had no expression since entering the door, finally showed a reaction. She cast a calm, indifferent glance at Mother Xu, making Mother Xu take a step back, unnerved.

Principal Zhu asked in a measured tone, “Qin Yumian, can you explain why you hit someone?”

“No particular reason,” Qin Yumian replied coolly. “If I have to give one, does simply finding her annoying count?”

Principal Zhu frowned. Although he didn’t know much about the Qin family’s granddaughter, he found it hard to believe that a child raised by Old Qin would be someone who acted out without any discernment between right and wrong.

Chen Lanping spoke up at this moment, “Principal, since Qin Yumian has admitted to hitting someone, this matter should be dealt with seriously. Otherwise, who would dare send their children to our school in the future?”

Principal Zhu took off his reading glasses and wiped them. “What does Teacher Chen suggest on how the matter should be handled?”
