Chapter 119.3: The Research Fanatic Who Lost His Child (5)
The guard hated Zou Le for lying and making him look bad.
The Headmaster was looking at Lin Shiheng and Zhou Chuchu, with embarrassment. The two were frowning. Having such a student in his school was really a slap in the face for the Headmaster.
Zou Le’s father, who was called to the office, was livid, repeatedly looking at the screen and slapped his daughter hard across the face.
“Did I not feed you?! You went and scammed someone out of their hard-earned money?!!!’
When he finished, he turned to Lin Shiheng and bowed deeply, “Mr. Lin, I’m really sorry, it’s my fault for not being able to teach my daughter well. I’ll tell you what, we’ll immediately refund all the money Zou Le borrowed, I’ll add another 10,000 yuan. I hope that you will keep this matter quiet for the sake of my daughter, she’s still young.”
His attitude was very sincere, but Lin Shiheng asked him a question.
“Your daughter is young, but my son isn’t?"
The other party, momentarily at a loss for words, could only awkwardly attempt to frame the matter in such a way that wouldn’t jeopardize Zou Le’s reputation, “She knows she made a mistake and she will never do it again. Besides, aren’t these two in a relationship? Then this money may be your child’s gift to his girlfriend. Children don’t know anything. They may have quarreled and had a falling out. I know my daughter’s character, she’s actually very obedient. Maybe she’s just...”
Wang Xuan, who had been sitting quietly in his chair, suddenly stood up.
Zhou Chuchu, who was always watching over him, immediately looked at her son with nervousness, “Xuan Xuan, what is it?”
Wang Xuan looked back at her with a soothing smile and placed the notebook and pen he had been holding on the table to write.
[When Zou Le borrowed money, she told me that she had a family emergency and her parents couldn’t get the money. She borrowed money from me and would pay me back after a period of time.]
Zou Le’s father’s face dropped. He rubbed his hands together, knowing that it was inappropriate to say anything else, but still trying to defend his daughter. “I saw your family’s car when I came over just now, it cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, it would be almost a million; and this down jacket your child’s wearing, it seems to cost over 3,000 yuan. My Zou Le may have thought that money meant nothing to you. After all, you’re very rich. She’s a child who doesn’t understand things, and it’s normal to have a little misunderstanding.”
Wang Xuan had no intention of giving him face.
[l earned all that money myself, and when I gave it to Zou Le, I told her that it was all I had.]
When he finished writing, he looked up at Zou Le’s father, who was scowling, [Even if I'm rich, that’s no reason for Zou Le to scam money. It’s a matter of character.]
Zou Le’s father’s expression could no longer be described as ugly. He was already furious that his daughter had committed a crime, and now that the other party was clearly trying to raise a fuss, his temper was almost uncontrollable.
“Whose child has never made a mistake? You don’t have to keep holding on to a amsll mistake. My daughter has to go to school, if word of this gets out, how will she look at people in school in the future? How will she face her classmates? We’re all parents, can’t you please be understanding?”
Lin Shiheng looked at Zou Le’s father, whose tone had turned sour, and responded in a nonchalant tone, “You both are worthy of being father and daughter.”
They were all exactly the same, shiny on the outside, rotten on the inside.
Father Zou, no matter how stupid he was, knew Lin Shiheng was definitely not praising him. He looked grim and didn’t wear his mask of pleasantries anymore, directly he asked, “Just say it, what will it take for you to spare my daughter? “
“It’s just a fight between kids. I really don’t understand how you, as parents, thought of calling the police. Won’t it be even more chaotic?!”
“Mr. Zou is right."
Zhou Chuchu, who had been sullen and kept looking closely at her son, couldn’t help herself.
Zou Le paled.
This can’t happen! Everyone will know I scammed someone!
How will I face people in the future?!
She first looked at Lin Shiheng, who she thought was being nice, and then withdrew her eyes in fear after receiving a gaze that seemed like he was looking at an ant.
She looked at Zhou Chuchu with hope, but found that she was looking at her with disgust and disdain, as if she was something disgusting.
Zou Le’s eyes began to tear as she finally looked at Wang Xuan, who was sitting quietly in his chair.
She ran over and grabbed Wang Xuan’s arm, not caring how disgusted she had felt with him before, shaking his arm and pleading.
“Wang Xuan! Wang Xuan help me. I can’t make a statement, if I do, I’ll be ruined!”
“I know I did something wrong, I apologize to you. Please, help me talk to your parents, okay? There won’t be a next time, I’ll never do it again!”
Wang Xuan looked at the girl in front of him. She was so pitiful and so beautiful. Even when she was crying, she was beautiful.
It was this good-looking, intimate attitude of hers that made him fall in love with her so much and looked forward to being with her for the rest of his life. He even dropped his guard and handed over all his savings.
He used to, in his wildest dreams, want Zou Le to be that close with him.
While in a trance, warmth suddenly covered the back of his cold hand.
Wang Xuan turned around in a daze and saw that it was Zhou Chuchu was holding his hand, looking at him with tenderness and love in her eyes.
“Xuan Xuan, Mom respects your decision.”
Wang Xuan looked up again and met Lin Shiheng’s gentle smile as he said, “Dad too.”
He smiled too.
The smile was pure and unclouded.
As Zou Le looked at the smile with renewed hope, Wang Xuan just smiled and gently moved her hand away.
He took out a pen and paper, and wrote down two words.
[Go away!!!]
He would no longer be blind to Zou Le’s false intimacy as he once was.
Because, he already had the truest and best.
