Chapter 98: 098 Trying to use a self-sacrificing trick on our ancestor?

Xia Yourong lowered her head and followed behind Tian Hanwen, feeling as if the gazes from everyone around were about to burn her alive.

When Xia Yourong turned her head, she saw Xia Ye leaning against the wall while Zhou Yao was talking to her with a smile.

Zhou Yao had actually colluded with Xia Ye to deceive her!

What kind of "Demon Art" did Xia Ye possess that she could make everyone orbit around her?

Zhao Yuhuan and Xia Yourong both went to the principal’s office together.

On the way there, Zhao Yuhuan didn’t say a word to her.

The student she valued so much, who she even used as a bragging right, had done something so disgraceful—how could she ever face her colleagues again?

She was definitely going to receive a major demerit this time!

Regarding the major demerit, Xia Yourong thought the same in her heart.

But when they entered the principal’s office and heard Principal Tian’s decision, both Zhao Yuhuan and Xia Yourong were stunned.

"A forced transfer? Principal Tian, you aren’t joking, are you? After all, what did I really do? Wasn’t it just changing the school’s PPT? And in the end, it didn’t cause any serious consequences, did it?"

Xia Yourong completely lost her composure and hysterically protested, "Not only was Xia Ye unaffected, but now her popularity at school has actually increased. Shouldn’t she be thanking me? Zhou Yao’s transfer to class 19 was her own request; it has nothing to do with me! They’re all fine, so why force me to transfer???"

Zhao Yuhuan also disagreed strongly with Principal Tian’s decision, "Principal Tian, Xiaorong is a promising student I’ve worked so hard to cultivate for two years, and the college entrance exam is just around the corner. If you force her to transfer now, it’s not only unfair to me but also a loss for the school!"

Zhao Yuhuan was furious. If she had known this would happen, why bother letting Zhou Yao go to class 19 to boost the college admission rate?

Even though Zhou Yao’s grades didn’t rank at the top in class one, passing the key university admission score line with ease was not a problem.

She had given up on Zhou Yao just to protect Xia Yourong.

But now...

If Zhao Yuhuan had been the first to discover Xia Yourong’s wrongdoing, she might have been able to find a way to help her cover it up, but Xia Yourong had chosen to expose herself in front of the whole school.

There couldn’t be any more undeniable proof than having to admit it herself...

Such a coveted spot for a top university gone to waste, Zhao Yuhuan couldn’t reconcile with it!

Tian Hanwen looked at the two of them through his thick glasses, "Teacher Zhao, do you think you bear no responsibility for this outcome? If you hadn’t solely focused on the students’ academics and neglected other aspects, we might not be in this situation! As for Xia Yourong, the principal also doesn’t want this incident to impact your college entrance exam, but if you do something wrong, you must be punished. Moreover, your case has already caused an uproar at school. Transferring schools might not be a bad thing for you. Think about it, go home and confess your mistakes to your parents and let them help you with the transfer paperwork..."

If Xia Yourong had come forward to confess to Tian Hanwen initially, it would have shown that she recognized her mistake, and Tian Hanwen was prepared to only issue a demerit.

But Xia Yourong chose the worst possible strategy, not only failing to admit her mistake but also attempting to bribe others to take the blame for her.

This was just too despicable.

Principal Tian’s words left no room for negotiation, and Xia Yourong ultimately didn’t even know how she managed to leave the office.

As she returned to the teaching building during the third-period break, she saw from a distance Xia Ye, Zhou Yao, and Tang Tianjiao chatting by the window, laughing and talking without any concern for her feelings.

But by then, Xia Yourong had too much on her mind to care about that, and she headed straight towards Xia Ye, undeterred by the pointing and whispering around her.

All the way back she’d been contemplating that transferring wasn’t the worst part. It was all her grandmother’s fault for speaking without thinking, saying that if it turned out the wrongdoing was hers, she would have to move back to the Xia family’s old house.

She absolutely didn’t want to return to the Xia Family’s old mansion!

The house there reeked of the musty odor of moxibustion treatments for the elderly, and since it was a traditional Chinese courtyard house, it was far inferior to the villa they lived in now.

She could transfer schools, but she couldn’t go back to the old house!

As long as her family didn’t find out why she was transferring schools, she wouldn’t have to return to the old mansion.

So...

Seeing her approach Xia Ye, Tang Tianjiao quickly stepped in front of him, "Xia Yourong, even if you apologize, it won’t matter. We will never forgive you!"

Xia Yourong felt like laughing. Why should she apologize?

Xia Ye patted Tang Tianjiao on the shoulder, "She’s not here to apologize. Just listen, hear what she wants to say."

Tang Tianjiao reluctantly stepped aside.

If she hadn’t come to apologize, then what else could she possibly be here for?

Full of doubt, she then saw Xia Yourong step forward, her tone scarcely pleading, in fact, it sounded as though she was the one who had been wronged, "Little sister, I changed the school’s PPT that time, and today you teamed up with Zhou Yao to deceive me. These two incidents cancel each other out, so let’s just call it even. I won’t blame you, but... can you not tell our family about what happened at school today?"

Tang Tianjiao and Zhou Yao exchanged glances, utterly stunned by her reasoning.

What kind of twisted logic was this?

Xia Yourong deliberately harmed others, whereas Xia Ye was helping clear someone’s name.

How could these two incidents possibly cancel each other out?

And yet, Xia Yourong had the audacity to act as if she was doing Xia Ye a favor by not blaming her, as if she were the victim.

It was shameless to the point of exasperation!

Xia Yourong was like this, not caring what others thought of her, only focused on maintaining her place in the Xia Family.

Seeing Xia Ye remain silent, she sniffled, putting on a woeful face as if begging for compassion, "Little sister, you’re so capable now. Your brothers dote on you, the school supports you, even Uncle Jiang stands up for you. Please, don’t be so ruthless. The principal is already advising me to leave, and if our family finds out about this, it would practically be the death of your big sister..."

Tang Tianjiao and Zhou Yao quickly turned to Xia Ye, worried that his sister’s plea about sisterly bonds and life-or-death might sway Xia Ye.

Xia Ye clenched his phone and tapped his beautiful forehead as if he was in a serious dilemma.

Seeing this, a glimmer of hope sparked in Xia Yourong’s heart, "Little sister, I’ve been humiliated in front of the whole school today, and now I’m being advised to leave. It’s really too much to bear. I believe you wouldn’t be so heartless, right?"

After a long moment, Xia Ye sighed, "I’m sorry."

Xia Yourong readily replied, "It’s okay, I don’t blame you, as long as you don’t tell our family. I won’t blame you for anything that happened before."

Tang Tianjiao and Zhou Yao were about to stop Xia Ye, insisting there was nothing to apologize for to someone like her.

But in the next second, Xia Ye shook the phone in his hand and explained, "I mean, sorry, you’re too late. I’ve already posted about your deeds in the family chat group. Now everyone in the family, including Grandma, knows exactly what you’ve done... "

Becoming a beloved ancestor was all due to the ancestor’s own capability.

Whether Xia Yourong lived or died had nothing to do with the esteemed ancestor.
