Ch. 50 Apologize
Because of Han Xingye, Jiang Juan was worried about Xie Jingxian staying alone, so he joined hands with Jiang Yue to get Xie Jingxian stay at Jiang’s.
As they were done with everything here, Jiang Qin and Jiang Yue set off to go back to work, and Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian also went back to school for their evening self-study.
The two were still on the road, when Xu Rang sent a message to ask if Jiang Juan was at school. Jiang Juan said he would be there soon and asked him what was going on. Xu Rang said it was okay, and then stopped texting.
Jiang Juan thought that something was strange as he put away the phone and went to the class with Xie Jingxian. Along the way, they met many students from Jincheng, and those students greeted them with kind smiles on their faces.
Jiang Juan said to Xie Jingxian, “ Looking at them, I almost thought we were stars who just debuted.”
While talking, the two came to the door of sophomore Class 2. Jiang Juan was busy chatting with Xie Jingxian, and did not notice the abnormal silence in the classroom.
He opened the door, and saw a large number of people standing together. With a few “bangs”, ribbons flew all over their heads causing Jiang Juan to be startled. Xie Jingxian subconsciously reached out and grabbed Jiang Juan, wanting to protect him. Just then he heard the students in the class saying in unison, “Welcome back.”
“Finally discharged from the hospital!”
There were also students recording videos with their mobile phones. Jiang Juan turned his head and looked at Xie Jingxian. He also saw the surprise in Xie Jingxian’s eyes, as well as a touch of emotion.
Dong Gao was tall and stood out in the crowd. He held a large bunch of “flowers” wrapped around snacks and gave them to Jiang Juan, “For you. In the future, let the bad luck take a U-turn seeing you and let you be surrounded witg good luck.” He also said that since their performance in the winter camp was excellent, they brought glory, not only to Jincheng High School but also their class.
Jiang Juan said, “I didn’t do anything, it’s Xie Jingxian who earned face for our school and class.”
He said that and stuffed the snacks and flowers into Xie Jingxian’s arms, and was about to step aside to let him take the stage. But he didn’t even take two steps and he could no longer move. He turned his head and saw that Xie Jingxian was grabbing his clothes.
Jiang Juan glanced at Xie Jingxian, then said, “Okay.”
He didn’t leave and returned to his place, put one hand on Xie Jingxian’s shoulder, and said to the silly Bai Guang who was laughing within the crowd, “Come on, Comrade Bai Guang, I and Classmate Xie have a very deep friendship. Take a photo of us as a souvenir.
Bai Guang smiled and took out his mobile phone and then found a suitable location to shoot.
When Xu Rang and Dong Gao saw that, they also squeezed in front of the camera to take a group photo. Not to be outdone, the others also squeezed in.
Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian were standing in the middle, and they were crowded to and fro, and everyone was making a fuss when they heard a low cough from outside the door. Looking back, Ren Tao had came over at some point.
It was not allowed to bring mobile phones into the classroom. On weekdays, the students keep their mobile phones in silent mode, but now they were all taking pictures and videos with their mobile phones, and were even caught by the head teacher, which was really unfortunate.
The students hid their mobile phones behind their backs and called out to the head teacher with a guilty conscience.
Ren Tao glanced at the large bunch of snacks that Xie Jingxian was holding in his arms, and then looked at the other students who were guilty, but he did not embarrass them, and only called Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian out.
After Ren Tao left, the remaining students exhaled and said that they were scared to death.
Xiao Yang put one hand on Dong Gao’s shoulder, looked in the direction of the door, and said, “What do you think the head teacher asked them to come over for?”
Dong Gao shook his head, he really didn’t know this.
Ren Tao went to Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian to ask about what exactly happened on Xiaohuashan mountain. As Jiang Juan said, this matter was not over. After being rescued, he did not hide it. He reported what Han Xingye had done to the teachers of the winter camp.
He didn’t tell it to Jiang Qin and Jiang Yue as he knew that they were busy with work, and he didn’t want them to worry.
Ren Tao carefully inquired about the situation at the time, and his face sank after listening. He then said that he would handle it, and then asked about their physical conditions and let them go back.
Three days later, Ren Tao went to the classroom again to call them in person, but this time he took them to the principal’s office.
As soon as Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian entered the door, they saw Han Xingye. Han Shuo and Qin Ying were there, sitting on the sofa.
In addition to Han Xingye’s family of three, there was also the teacher in charge of the Mingyang school during the winter camp. Jiang Juan only knew at this time that, this person was Han Xingye’s head teacher. In addition, Wu Yueze and Zhou Quan were also there.
Jiang Juan thought that this scene was really lively.
Xie Jingxian had no expression on his face, he only glanced at Han Shuo and Qin Ying indifferently, and then turned his eyes away regardless of the excited look in Han Shuo’s eyes.
Now that everyone had arrived, it was time to discuss how to resolve this matter. Ren Tao and Han Xingye’s head teacher started talking.
After the second year of high school, Jiang Juan’s grades improved rapidly, Xie Jingxian was the first in the grade, and Han Xingye also had excellent grades in Mingyang High School.
Both sides felt that their students were the best and most sensible, and the atmosphere in the principal’s office was a little tense.
Ren Tao and the teacher at Mingyang High School argued more and more intensely, and if someone hadn’t stopped him, they would definitely have started fighting.
Jiang Juan helped Ren Tao to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, then walked up to Han Shuo and Qin Ying and said, “You are Han Xingye’s parents, right? How are you going to solve the problem of your son pushing us down the mountain?”
Han Xingye didn’t expect Jiang Juan to go straight to Han Shuo, and immediately shouted, “Don’t talk nonsense, when did I push you guys.”
He turned his head to look at Han Shuo, clearly panicking, “Dad, I didn’t push them, it was just… I just accidentally stepped on something and bumped into them.”
Looking at Han Xingye’s aura that day, Jiang Juan thought that he was brave, but he was just a spineless coward.
“Dare to do it but not dare to admit it?” Jiang Juan raised his lips, “But you are right, you really didn’t push us, you wanted to kill us. What about the fruit knife?”
Jiang Juan looked at Wu Yueze and Zhou Quan, “Are you trying to hide it?”
Zhou Quan was very calm, but Wu Yueze avoided his eyes and stammered in his words, “You, don’t talk nonsense, what kind of knife, I have never seen it.”
Zhou Quan said to Han Shuo, “Uncle Han, Yue Ze and I were also present at the time. The teacher organized an event. We ran into them when we were looking for things in the mountains, and chatted for a while. The terrain was steep and there were many fallen leaves. It was so slippery, that even Xingye accidentally fell off with them.”
Undoubtedly, in the small group of Han Xingye, Zhou Quan was the smartest one.
When Jiang Juan and the others disappeared, the police also came, but at that time Han Xingye was in a coma with a high fever and was rushed to the hospital. Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian also passed by, and they did not mention the matter to the police.
First, the location of the accident was not monitored, and they had no evidence. Second, Han Xingye was still underage, so this incident will not bring much consequences to Han Xingye.
That day, Jiang Juan told Han Xingye that this matter will not end. At that time, what he thought of was not relying on the strength of the police, nor the school, but – Han Shuo.
Jiang Juan didn’t argue with Zhou Quan and Wu Yueze, but walked up to Han Shuo and said, “Mr. Han, how are you going to judge this matter? Although I’m a student, I understand that if someone doesn’t offend me, I will not offend others…”
Han Shuo looked at Jiang Juan slightly with admiration and said, “Your name is Jiang Juan, right? I know your father. It’s rightly said, tiger fathers will not have dog sons.”
Jiang Juan smiled lightly, “Then Mr. Han, how do you think this matter should be handled?”
At that moment, Jiang Juan’s aura didn’t look like an underage student, but like an adult strategizing at the negotiating table.
Xie Jingxian couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Juan in surprise.
Han Shuo thought for a while, got up, and said to Han Xingye, “Apologize.”
Han Xingye didn’t expect Han Shuo to believe Jiang Juan’s words so easily, and shouted, “Dad, you want me to apologize? I haven’t done anything, why should I apologize?”
Han Shuo said, “You think I don’t know what your temperament is?”
Han Xingye shivered when he met Han Shuo’s sharp eyes, but he stood there and didn’t move. It is impossible for him to bow his head to Xie Jingxian. In the end, Han Xingye turned his eyes to Qin Ying for help.
Qin Ying was someone who has been strong all her life. To ask her son to bow his head to Xie Jingxian and admit his mistake is like a slap to her face, and she will never tolerate it.
Qin Ying said, “Han Shuo, this matter…”
Han Shuo interrupted her with a raised hand, “I’ll handle this matter, you don’t need to think about it.”
Qin Ying frowned, “What do you want to do? Let Xingye apologize? Didn’t you hear the words of Zhou Quan and Yue Ze? You don’t trust your son, but an outsider?”
Han Xingye, relying on his mother’s support, said, “I’m right, I will not apologize.”
Han Shuo raised his brows, and stared at Han Xingye with sharp and cold eyes, like a mighty and inhumane beast, “I am saying it again, apologize.”
Han Xingye didn’t expect that Han Shuo would treat him like this for Xie Jingxian. He obviously loved him the most before.
Thinking of the past, and thinking of Han Shuo’s attitude towards him now, Han Xingye was full of hatred for Wang Wenwen and her son.
Han Xingye said, “Dad, you have changed, you were not like this before, and now you treat me like this for him? You asked me to apologize to him without any evidence? I won’t apologize. I did nothing wrong. Mom has been married to you for so many years, yet you still miss that slut in your heart, you…”
Xie Jingxian’s expression turned cold, but before he could do anything, Han Shuo slapped him.
With a crisp sound, Han Xingye’s face was swept aside.
Han Shuo said angrily, “Shut up!”
Ever since he was a child, Qin Ying has never been willing to beat Han Xingye. Now that she sees Han Shuo doing it, she almost went crazy. She said sharply, “Han Shuo, what are you doing?”
Han Shuo’s anger also came up, and he bellowed disregarding the place and the occasion, “What am I doing? He is like this because of you. He is so lawless at such a young age. Is he going to kill people in the future?”
Qin Ying’s eyes widened, “Han Shuo, you dare to talk to me like that? You…
Before Qin Ying could finish speaking, Han Xingye rushed out of the door. The door of the principal’s office was almost slammed down by him. Qin Ying’s expression changed, as she called out him, and chased after him.
Han Shuo didn’t look good. He frowned, glanced at Xie Jingxian, and said to the teachers in the office, “I have made you see a joke.”
With Han Shuo in charge, Zhou Quan and Wu Yueze didn’t hold on long before they explained the truth. Now that things were sorted out, it was naturally easy to deal with the rest.
Han Xingye’s head teacher promised to give Jincheng High School an explanation.
Now that the matter has been resolved, Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian left the principal’s office. The adults can discuss the rest of the matter. The only thing they have to do is wait.
The two happened to meet Chen Yun on their way back, Jiang Juan greeted him with a smile, and Xie Jingxian also called out to Teacher Chen. Chen Yun naturally knew Xie Jingxian and Jiang Juan, as he glanced at the door of the principal’s office, and nodded at them.
Jiang Juan said, “Mr. Chen, Xie Jingxian and I found a stone with the number 13 written on it during the Christmas Eve event. Can I still exchange gifts now?”
Chen Yun said with a smile, “You, you really scared me to death that day. You kid, you have such a big heart, that you are still thinking about gifts.” He added, “Come with me.”
Chen Yun walked in front to lead the way, and Jiang Juan rushed behind him with Xie Jingxian, giving him a gesture of yes, but when he got the gift, Jiang Juan couldn’t laugh anymore.
Jiang Juan pointed to the whole box of exam papers in front of him, “Mr. Chen, are you kidding me? How can this be considered a gift?”
When Jiang Juan transmigrated here, the word “study scum” was posted on his forehead. In addition, he also recalled the plot of the original owner, and naturally thought that the gift of receiving test papers and study materials was torture, not a reward or a gift.
Chen Yun explained, “The No. 13 you got is an excellent one. The reward is a hot spring ticket on Xiaohua Mountain. Unfortunately, it has been too long and the ticket has expired.”
Jiang Juan almost choked on his words, “Hot spring? Such a big loss!”
Chen Yun was amused by Jiang Juan’s reaction, and said, “That reward would have been gone after a soak in the hot spring, but not this gift. The knowledge is yours, and no one can take it away. How wonderful.”
Jiang Juan, “…”
After leaving Chen Yun’s office, Xie Jingxian walked beside Jiang Juan with a box of test papers, listening to him scold Han Xingye without using swear words.
Xie Jingxian didn’t feel relieved, but found it very cute—of course, he thought Jiang Juan was cute.
At this time, it was ten o’clock in the morning, and the warm winter sunrays fell on Jiang Juan, making him look more gentle and beautiful.
Xie Jingxian’s lips curved in a slight arc, as he stopped and called out softly, “Jiang Juan.”
Jiang Juan said, “Huh?” He turned his head and heard Xie Jingxian say, “Let’s go to the hot spring together if you have time.”
