Chapter 39: The Principal’s Personal Invitation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Xu Lan followed Xu Qiaoshan back to the Xu Family home, Li Meixiang and her daughter were both there.
Upon sight of her, Xu Yan, who was lying on the sofa, sneered. “Did a country bumpkin just drop out of school?”
Li Meixiang wore a pair of glasses and glanced at the corridor without saying a word.
Xu Lan did not stop since she entered and went straight upstairs.
However, she did not know that Li Meixiang had come over just as Xu Qiaoshan sat down on the sofa.
“When is she returning to the countryside?”
Xu Yan also sat upright, waiting for Xu Qiaoshan to surprise them.
“Tomorrow morning at the latest.”
.
Xu Qiaoshan sighed heavily. He took a sip of water and got up to go upstairs.
After a while, he went downstairs again.
“I’m going back to the office first. I won’t be home for lunch.”
With that, he left the villa without waiting for their reaction.
Xu Lan had just changed out of her uniform when someone knocked on the door.
The moment he opened the door, he saw Xu Yan standing outside with a smug look on her face.
“I heard you’re going to roll back to your old nest? Perfect. I have some old clothes. It would be a shame to throw them. It’s a good chance for you to bring them back and save some money.”
She deliberately dragged the last syllable, making people feel uncomfortable.
Xu Lan smiled instead of getting angry. “I’ll leave the old clothes for you to wear, loose woman~”
Her casual words were like a knife that could kill the other party.
Xu Yan threw down her clothes and stepped forward, just as the door closed with a bang.
No matter how hard she tried to kick the door open, Xu Lan remained composed inside.
That afternoon, the principal came to the house.
Li Meixiang was about to go to the beauty salon with her friends when she saw a black car slowly come to a stop.
They did not leave immediately and looked curiously at the person who came out of the car.
“Hello, is this Xu Lan’s home?”
The man was short and slightly fat.
Li Meixiang narrowed her eyes and stood at the front of these women. She looked at the person and was a little puzzled. “Yes, you are?”
She glanced at the car and was instantly interested when she heard that he was looking for Xu Lan.
“She’s at home. Should I call her for you?”
Then, she turned to her sisters and smiled. “Xiao Rong, let’s meet another day. I still have something on.”
Seeing that she had suddenly changed her mind, the few of them were a little unhappy, but they did not make it too obvious. They reluctantly got into the car and left.
Li Meixiang led her into the living room and even asked the servants to pour tea.
She put down her bag and hurried upstairs to find Xu Lan.
Her diligence was simply abnormal.
After a while, Xu Lan went downstairs slowly and Xu Qiaoshan ran back from the office.
“Principal.”
Li Meixiang was holding a plate of fresh fruit. When she heard this name, she stopped in her tracks. Her expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.
The man took the initiative to shake Xu Qiaoshan’s hand before sitting down one after another.
“Principal Gao, you’re here because…”
However, Xu Qiaoshan was still in a daze.
He had just finished a meeting when he received a call from Principal Gao asking for his home address. He had thought about it and felt that something was wrong, so he rushed back immediately.
The principal lowered his eyebrows and remained silent for a moment. Then, he said apologetically, “Mr. Xu, it’s just a misunderstanding that Xu Lan hit someone.”
“Misunderstanding?”
Before anyone could react, Li Meixiang spoke first.
Seeing that she was surprised, the principal also turned his gaze over.
Li Meixiang realized the awkwardness and immediately shut her mouth.
Only Xu Lan stood by the side with her head lowered, seemingly deep in thought.
Xu Qiaoshan came back to his senses and looked at the principal. He asked seriously, “What exactly happened?”
The principal did not know how to explain it, especially when he saw the parents’ reactions.
“Only the mayor knows the inside story. I’m here today to inform Xu Lan to revise and prepare for the college entrance examination.”
With that, he stood up from the sofa and was about to leave.
At this moment, Xu Lan finally looked up and smiled harmlessly.
“Principal, let me send you.”
Li Meixiang finally exploded when she saw the two of them leaving one after the other. She slammed the fresh fruit that she was about to give to the guests.
