Chapter 312: Chapter 65: Each One’s Resolve

Wang Ke’s incident was broadcast on the evening news that very day.

In the end, the incident caused a huge uproar; in January, the school leaders of Sacred Heart Middle School were summoned by the Education Bureau, and a rectification of academic style was unavoidable at the start of the term.

At dinner, Feng Xing couldn’t help but remark that today’s middle school students have deep schemes; daring to use banned drugs in a basketball game, learning bad habits at such a young age.

Zhuo Feng was more concerned about whether there were others in Xiao Xian’s basketball team who were in the same situation as Wang Ke; she didn’t want Xiao Xian studying at such a miasmatic school.

"No, auntie, we have never even heard of those kinds of drugs, and all my friends don’t know either. We all train very hard," Xiao Xian reassured repeatedly, and Zhuo Feng finally put her mind at ease.

"Xiao Xian, perhaps you shouldn’t participate in this competition. Look, it’s even on TV now, even if you win the championship, who knows how it will be twisted by the media. Tomorrow, your uncle and I are going to Yanqing to see the place and do some preliminary land surveying. Why don’t you forfeit and come with us? Street basketball is too dangerous." Zhuo Feng, looking at the powerless spokesperson of Sacred Heart Middle School being interviewed on the television news, was full of worry.

"Auntie, one mustn’t give up halfway. Moreover, if I forfeit, it will affect Mao Yi and Qu Yang to forfeit as well, since we don’t have substitute players like other teams. Without me, they can’t compete," Xiao Xian didn’t want to express her true thoughts at this moment; the proud-looking male basketball player she saw today whose face blushed, she actually wanted to take another look.

Feng Xing also agreed that Xiao Xian should continue to participate. He saw the match today and also deeply experienced the charm of street basketball. If Xiao Xian and her teammates have the capability to fight for the championship, they should not give up so easily. As for the land survey, that was all adult matters; Xiao Xian going there would only be bored and distracted, rather than happily being with her peers.

Under the pressure from both, Zhuo Feng had no choice but to surrender.

She was now realizing that she was losing more and more say in this family. When did her husband and niece become allies? Zhuo Feng and Xiao Xian were the ones who shared the same blood.

Zhuo Feng and Feng Xing went into the kitchen to work together cooperatively. Xiao Xian was thinking about Zeng Xuerou, the president of the student council, and whether today’s events would cause her trouble in her work when school starts.

After a phone call, Zeng Xuerou shared nothing but bad news, "Wang Ke still hasn’t regained consciousness. This afternoon, just after the incident, the school immediately contacted several student leaders of us. A medical examination will be conducted at the start of the school term, also promptly understanding students’ latest conditions to avoid incidents like Wang Ke’s. Wang Ke’s father also got implicated; those banned drugs were found to be very expensive. Wang Ke’s family had a diary that specifically recorded the usage and purchase of banned drugs. It stated that she had started using these drugs provided by a beauty parlor since last year. In total, she bought them ten times, costing thirty thousand each time. Wang Guohua’s diary also recorded major purchases of substandard office supplies, just to support Wang Ke’s huge expenditures, which became a point of criticism. That day, the school’s financial personnel went to check, stating that in his eight years as the manager of the school’s logistic company, he embezzled over two million yuan in logistic funds. He was taken away by the police earlier this evening."

A perfectly good family just like that, fell apart. Xiao Xian didn’t have a good impression of Wang Ke, but hearing this news, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. Actually, Wang Ke’s talent wasn’t bad; based on her normal level, as long as she stayed grounded, after Bai Xue left, she was definitely going to be the team captain for middle school, and later in high school and university, a bright future was laid out in front of her. Unfortunately, she chose the wrong path.

"There’s nothing to feel sorry about, everyone has to be responsible for their own mistakes," after being disturbed by the afternoon’s event, Zeng Xuerou resumed her role as the methodical president of the student council.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the most troubling issue was still their schedules. Due to the Wang Ke incident, Zeng Xuerou had to rush back to school to prepare for the start of the term.

Xiao Xian also had to continue with the basketball competition, and the plan to visit the small pharmaceutical factory in Hebei was temporarily put on hold.

On the sixth day of the lunar month early in the morning, after reminding Xiao Xian to pay attention to safety in the competition, Zhuo Feng and Feng Xing went to Yanqing to look at the farm.
