Sweet Beauty

The principal was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, then stepped forward to block Qiao Hongya's path. He then looked at Han Yuanjun and pleaded with a bitter expression, "Young Master Han, we've worked together for many years, and you know how best our school is. Please help me persuade Master Qiao."

"Yes, we've worked together for years." Han Yuanjun's gaze swept over Teacher Ma and Teacher Shao, who were standing in the corner against the wall. "Because we worked together for years, I agreed to let my wife come to your school to further her studies. Originally, I thought that if you can't treat her well, you would at least treat her like any other students, but I don't think the teachers at your school will slander my wife and her grandfather in front of me."

Han Yuanjun sneered, "Didn't you say that I wouldn't stop working with your school because of a mere Liang Zixuan? I'll tell you right now that I'll do anything for her sake! The collaboration between your school and Han Group Media will officially end today. From now on, don't even think about entering my company anymore!"

"What?!" The principal's eyes widened in shock as he looked at Han Yuanjun in disbelief. His lips opened and closed as he chokingly said, "I-I didn't say that! Young Master Han, perhaps you misunderstood..."

"I didn't misunderstand anything." Han Yuanjun interrupted him and looked at the principal coldly, "What I see is the truth, and what I hear is also the truth!"

The principal anxiously stomped his foot and glared at Teacher Ma and Teacher Shao. In his heart, he scolded them a thousand times.

The two of them relied on the fact that they were the wives of the professors at this school to open the back door and work as admissions staff. Usually, they even made things difficult for the students and never put anyone in their eyes.

The principal didn't understand. Their husbands were the professors, not them. So, who were these two trying to show off?

What were they trying to pull?

No matter how experienced and outstanding their husbands were, they weren't as legit and famous as Qiao Hongya. And yet, Teacher Ma and Teacher Shao actually dared to talk nonsense about Qiao Hongya.

Not only did they talk bad about Liang Zixuan and Qiao Hongya, but the person themselves actually heard it. It's just simply courting to death!

"Master Qiao, Young Master Han, these two teachers are staff in the admission department of our school. They don't care about the class or the students. They were just talking nonsense. Please don't take this to heart."

Seeing that Qiao Hongya and Han Yuanjun had stopped talking and put on a mocking and disdainful expression, it was so obvious that they wouldn't give him any faces.

The principal then looked at Liang Zixuan and said, "Liang Zixuan, look, didn't you choose our school because it's the best music academy in the country? Don't be angry with us for what happened today. I will punish both teachers and help you vent your anger. Please help me persuade Master Qiao and Young Master Han."

Liang Zixuan was a bit stingy with her words and had no patience or tolerance to bear the anger of others.

What did this principal mean by punishing the two teachers to vent her anger?

It was as if he viewed this incident as a child being bullied by being pushed to the ground. Then the father slapped the bully hard twice and said to the son, "Alright, daddy will help you get revenge. Stop crying."

This was just a trick!

Did this principal really consider Liang Zixuan to be a three-year-old child?

Of the three of them, Liang Zixuan was the one who looked the calmest. She wasn't angry because she knew how many people were jealous of her for being Han Yuanjun's wife.

These people had black hearts and felt that Han Yuanjun had no reason to like her.

It was one thing for Han Yuanjun to like her, but even Qiao Hongya had to support her.

They had an imbalance in their hearts. They wanted to see her getting divorced, to see how miserable she was in her husband's house. That way, they would feel better about themselves.

Therefore, it was very normal for people to gossip.

But now that she heard the principal's words, Liang Zixuan felt extremely uncomfortable.

Just because she wasn't angry didn't mean that she didn't have a temper. It didn't mean that she allowed others to look down on her and slander her!

Liang Zixuan smiled, ''Yes, when I chose Guzheng Academy, it was indeed because it's one of the best music academies in the country. But after what happened today, even if you punish those two teachers, you can't erase the fact that this incident still happened. A lot of people are watching here, and even if I stay here today, I still can't escape people's judgmental looks. So punishing or not punishing these two teachers is your problem, and studying here is my problem. My husband and my grandfather cannot be persuaded by mere flattering words."

The principal really didn't expect Liang Zixuan, who looked so young, to have a sharp mouth and intelligent thinking.

Although he was intentionally flattering her so that she would agree to his request, she still managed to counter-attack him with this agility. It was simply totally immoral!

Cold sweat dripped from the principal's forehead. "Don't worry. As long as I give the order, these students won't spread what happened today..."

"Principal." Liang Zixuan interrupted him. "I can't interfere with my grandfather's and husband's decision. How can you interfere with the students' thoughts? Heh ... I'm not stupid, and they are not stupid either. Right now we're focusing on freedom of speech, and as long as one doesn't deliberately slander someone, it isn't considered a crime. So, if they think this is true and right, then you really can't interfere with their thoughts."

Liang Zixuan looked at Teacher Ma and Teacher Shao, her gaze suddenly turning cold. "As for the slander that these two teachers have spread about me, it has only been spread on a small scale and has yet to reach 500 people. I can't sue them, but if this news spreads and more people hear it, to the point of slander and libel, then I will use legal means to protect my good name!"

Hearing this, the two teachers felt their legs go soft. If they weren't leaning against the wall, they were already on their knees.

They really didn't think that Liang Zixuan knew so much, not even about the law.

If the principal's words couldn't stop her, then they...

Liang Zixuan was too lazy to care about what happened to them. She grabbed Qiao Hongya's hand with one hand and Han Yuanjun's with the other and smiled politely at the principal. "Principal, I can't go to your school. We'll leave now. Please don't block our way, or do I need to call 110 and ask the police to help me with this matter?"

The principal's mouth twitched and he took a step to the side, clearing the way. He watched as Liang Zixuan pulled Qiao Hongya with one hand and Han Yuanjun with the other as they walked past him.

Just walking away like that ...

After they left, the principal turned around, pointed at Teacher Ma and Teacher Shao, saying rudely, "You two! Follow me to the principal's office now!"

• • • •

In the principal's office.

Teacher Ma and Teacher Shao stood in front of the desk like two quails. They were no longer as arrogant as when they gossiped about Liang Zixuan and Qiao Hongya. Their heads were lowered.

The principal looked at them angrily. He was so angry to the point his lungs were hurting. "You guys are really brave.. Even I, the principal of this school, wouldn't dare to do anything, but today, you two really opened my eyes."
