Chen Lin looked at Jiang Xiao's mother in envy, then at her own mother, who was so cautious and aggrieved... she looked really awful!
"Si Yu, why did you push us in?!" Chen Lin questioned Si Yu loudly after Jiang Xiao's mother finished speaking.
Her voice was the only sound in the quiet office. In the end, her voice became softer and softer, and the more she spoke, the less confident she became.
"Chen Lin, don't you know why?" Si Yu laughed in anger. What kind of intelligence did she have to be able to say such things?
"If I didn't push you in, would I still be standing here?" Si Yu had already gotten very impatient. It was very tiring to keep arguing over this matter.
Chen Lin's mother went up and gave her daughter a slap. The sharp sound made everyone quiet down. Then, she said, "Do you want to drag the Chen family to die with the Jiang family? What sort of brain do you have? Don't you realize the current situation you're in? Apologize to Madam Yan!"
Chen Lin's eyes were red as she looked at her mother in disbelief. Her face was still burning with pain.
"Mom..."
"Shut up! Apologize!" Chen Lin's mother interrupted her. She knew her daughter too well. If she were to say any more, the entire Chen family would be destroyed.
"Madam Yan, I'm sorry!" Chen Lin apologized unwillingly. Si Yu ignored her, so she continued to bow. She had never been so embarrassed in her life.
"Don't apologize if you're not sincere. Chen Lin, you still can't learn!" Si Yu looked at her as if she was an idiot.
How things ended today would depend on Chen Lin and Jiang Xiao's sincerity. In Dragon City, one's word was deemed final. Shen Zhi was the principal of Dragon City University, and Si Yu had the ability to make them disappear from Dragon City. These were all big shots she couldn't afford to offend. In the end, she couldn't help but feel extremely wronged and aggrieved.
"You're the ones who wanted to teach me a lesson, and you're the ones who came to the school to make a scene. Now that you're in a disadvantageous position, you seem disgruntled. Where's that arrogance you displayed in the counselor's office?"
Perhaps Si Yu's words had woken Chen Lin up. She raised her head and looked up at Si Yu, then lowered her head heavily. "I'm sorry, Si Yu. I was just being silly."
Many things suddenly crossed Chen Lin's mind. She was not alone. She had her father and her company.
Kun You was the market king and the one who'd determine the company's life and death. Si Yu was his wife, which meant she was the queen.
After Chen Lin and the rest left, Jiang Xiao and her mother, Zhou Pan, were the only ones left. In fact, Zhou Pan had already begun to give up, but she thought of the project that they were currently working on with Dragon City. The Jiang family had invested three million yuan, which was not a small amount, and she wanted to take a gamble.
"Principal Shen, I was too aggressive with my words just now. As long as you promise not to expel Xiaoxiao, we'll immediately increase our contribution by two million yuan. What do you think? "
Shen Zhi sat back down on the chair behind the desk. "The technology development project you mentioned has been handed over to the Kun family. The laboratory can be set up by today."
"We can do it too, principal. You've been talking to us about this project for so long..." Zhou Pan suddenly understood something.
She looked at her daughter she had been shielding behind her, and her legs gave way. She slumped to the ground, and her tears started to fall. It was all her, Zhou Pan, who had single-handedly ruined this project.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Jiang Xiao wanted to help Zhou Pan up, but she turned around and gave her a slap instead." It's all ruined. You really can't stay at Dragon City University, or who knows what will happen in the future? Go! Apologize to Madam Yan!"
Jiang Xiao was a little dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events, but she was used to listening to her mother since she was young and still chose to apologize to Si Yu. Just as she was about to bow and apologize, Zhou Pan got up in a sorry state and said, "Kneel down and apologize!"
"Mom?" Jiang Xiao couldn't understand what was going on.
"It's too late, Mrs. Jiang. This is the last time I'll call you that. Go back and tell your husband what happened today and what will happen next." Kun You's expression was calm, but the words he said were like thunder that struck Zhou Pan's head, and many images flashed in front of her eyes like lightning.
Suddenly, she stared at Si Yu as if she was grabbing onto a life-saving straw.
Si Yu's expression was grave. She looked at Zhou Pan, who was on the verge of going crazy, and suddenly felt uneasy.
"I have something to say to Si Yu in private. It's related to... Si Min," Zhou Pan spoke slowly. When she said the last two words, Si Yu's hair stood on end. That was her mother's name.
