Chapter 152: Trying to Force a Reconciliation with Nan

Yan?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Mr. Yin’s expression turned ugly.

He just wanted a student’s phone number, yet they kept giving him the runaround. Did they look down on him?

“Since she’s not here, I’ll come back to see her tomorrow. But I wonder how the school plans to handle Chen Chen’s matter?”

His tone grew slightly heavy, and he arrogantly stated, “I don’t want any unfavorable news about Chen Chen to spread within the school.”

“I will arrange for him to drop out and study abroad. I hope your school can facilitate this. In that case, I will donate a research building as a token of appreciation. ”

Even if his son had done something wrong, so what?

He had power, influence, and wealth—there was nothing he couldn’t handle.

“Mr. Yin, we cannot agree to your terms. Nan Yan is the victim here. Unless she speaks up, the school must report the incident.”

“This is a matter of principle. Zhide High School has a hundred-year history, and we cannot bear such a stain.”

Upon hearing these words, Mr. Yin and Mrs. Yin’s expressions turned unsightly.

A mere headmaster dared to refuse his request.

Truly shameless!

Mr. Yin looked contemptuously at the headmaster and said coldly, “You’re just a headmaster. I’ll discuss this matter with the principal.”

At that moment, in front of the headmaster and the two homeroom teachers, he called the principal of Zhide High School.

The principal had been informed by the headmaster about the situation between Yin Yichen and Nan Yan.

As the school’s leader, he had many considerations. When the headmaster initially proposed publicizing the incident and using expulsion as a punishment, he found it inappropriate.

The Yin family had power and influence in Jin City; they weren’t easy to deal with. Offending the Yin family was clearly not a good idea for the school.

So, when he heard Mr. Yin’s conditions, he was intrigued.

However, this matter was ultimately related to Nan Yan.

He needed her cooperation.

Otherwise, given her current level of national fame, exposing this matter would lead to negative consequences for the school as well.

“Mr. Yin, let me put it this way. The most important thing in this matter is to satisfy Nan Yan. I can temporarily suppress the issue from our side. You can find a way to reconcile with Nan Yan and have her provide a statement of understanding.”

Mr. Yin sneered, “I also want to reconcile with her, but the headmaster and her homeroom teacher don’t want to give me her contact information.”

The principal furrowed his brow. “Mr. Yin, give the phone to him. I’ll talk to him.”

Mr. Yin handed the phone to the headmaster and said, “Your principal wants to talk to you.”

The headmaster gritted his teeth and took the phone. “Principal.”

Over the phone, the principal’s voice came through, “Yu, give Mr. Yin Nan Yan’s phone number.”

“Principal, that’s not appropriate. Nan Yan said she doesn’t want to be harassed.”

“Mr. Yin wants to apologize to her. How is that harassment?” The principal’s tone grew stern. “Let them resolve their issues privately first.”

“I know you like Nan Yan as a student and feel sympathy for her past, but you also need to understand that Zhide High School is under pressure from several other schools. Offending the Yin family isn’t a wise choice.”

“If the other members of the school board find out about this, the outcome will be the same. They might even decide to expel Nan Yan. Don’t be stubborn. The real task is to find a way to secure the best interests for Nan Yan…”

The principal spoke at length.

The headmaster wasn’t truly paying attention anymore; he was just feeling frustrated.

The wicked capitalists!

But what the principal said had some truth to it.

The Yin family was even more powerful than the An family; offending them could be dangerous, and in the end, it would be Nan Yan who suffered.

He responded with an acknowledgment over the phone and handed the phone back to Mr. Yin.

“Headmaster, how did it go?”

” I’ll give you Nan Yan’s contact information.”

The headmaster provided Nan Yan’s phone number to Mr. Yin. Without lingering in the office, Mr. Yin and Mrs. Yin left directly.

Once they were gone, the headmaster let out a slow breath. He picked up his phone and called Nan Yan.

At that moment, Nan Yan had finished the medical examination for Marcus.

They still had to wait for the blood test results for another ten minutes.

Having some free time, she answered his call.

“What’s up, Headmaster?”

The headmaster sounded somewhat helpless. “Yan Yan, the Yin family might call you in a while. Please… be a bit more reserved. Don’t offend them too much…”

Nan Yan raised an eyebrow lazily. “Did they come to you?”

“Yes, they just asked me for your number. They said they want to apologize to you. Since they want to reconcile, you can take the opportunity to negotiate some terms and gain some benefits.”

“Alright, I got it.” Nan Yan nonchalantly agreed and was about to hang up.

The headmaster added, “Yan Yan, but don’t go too far. This world has become too dark. It’s hard to win against capitalists; very few have good outcomes…”

He had always looked down on these capitalists, thinking they treated the law as a joke and manipulated things in their favor, focusing solely on profits and devoid of humanity.

Now he found himself in a situation where he had to deal with them, and he realized that it was hard for ordinary people to resist.

Even if Nan Yan had the backing of the An family, it didn’t matter.

Compared to the Yin family, the An family still had to lower their heads.

Nan Yan teasingly said, “Uncle Yu, did something upset you?”

“Did you just call me ‘Uncle Yu’? Show some respect!” The headmaster pretended to be angry and scolded her. Then he added in a softer tone, “What could upset me? I’m just forced to see the reality.”

“See the reality? Headmaster, you should take a look. Don’t be so old and blind at such a young age.”

Nan Yan said casually before hanging up the call.

Marcus noticed her cold expression and her recent words. He couldn’t help asking, “Yan Yan, is something wrong? Do you need my help?”

“No, I can handle it myself.” Nan Yan glanced at him and said, “Your priority is to get yourself in good shape. That’s the most help you can provide me.” “If you do something foolish again, I won’t help you recover next time. You’ll have to deal with the consequences on your own.”

Marcus felt that she wasn’t joking and quickly nodded, “I definitely won’t!”

As always, the same rule applied.

With her around, what was the point of him striving so hard?

Just depend on her and enjoy the benefits of her efforts; she would take care of everything else.

Indeed, after hanging up with the headmaster, not long passed before Nan Yan’s phone rang again.

Nan Yan lazily toyed with her phone, allowing the ringtone to continue.

“Yan Yan, aren’t you going to answer the call?”

“I will.” Nan Yan smirked. “But I’ll wait a bit before I answer.’ He called, she answered—that would make her seem too cheap.

The first call ended in automatic disconnection.

After a few minutes, he called again.

Still, no one answered.

It wasn’t until the third call, when it was about to disconnect automatically, that she finally answered.

Mr. Yin was nearly infuriated.

She was clearly doing this on purpose!

Right away, Mr. Yin angrily questioned, “Nan Yan, why didn’t you answer the calls just now?”

“Beep—”

The call was hung up..
