Besides, they could sense that Yao Tang was particularly close to their principal.
Yang Nian basked in the silence, thinking that the girls had finally realized the gravity of the situation and were just worried aboutYao Tang’s safety.
But when he turned to look at Yao Tang, his brows furrowed yet again.
She was too calm, as if she hadn’t heard any of the words he had said. Something was definitely not right here. Did she really not know what it meant to cross the Yan family?
Yang Nian thought of her background then, and he immediately understood her nonchalance.
Since Yao Tangcame from the countryside, it was understandable that she had never heard of the Yan family before. He couldn’t very well expect her to shake at the mention of their name when she had no idea who they were.
“Perhaps you don’t understand the kind of influence the Yan family holds,” he said. “Especially in the capital. But trust me when I say that if they do come after you, the Yao familywould be powerless to protect you.
“I’m only saying this in consideration of Old Madam Yao. I suggest you not do anything to make her worry, and take better care of yourself from now on.”
When he was done speaking, he glanced at her again, only to find that Yao Tang’s expression hadn’t changed at all.
She still looked unbothered, despite him bringing up Old Madam Yao.
Yang Nian finally gestured atQin Jingto hurry and convince their unmovable friend.
To his utter frustration, Qin Jingacted like she saw nothing and kept silent.
“Qing Jing,” he sighed. “She is your friend, isn’t she? Are you sure you don’t want to persuade her, for her own good? If the Yan family took the insult to heart, there would be no saving her.”
......
Qin Jing raised an eyebrow and was about to say something whenLin Xinreached out and covered her mouth.
“Mmph.”
Qin Jing glared at her indignantly, butLin Xinignored her and addressedYang Nian.
“In that case, how do you expect us to apologize? I’m afraid the whole school already knows about her illegitimate birth. Even if we apologize, it won’t save her reputation.”
After saying that, Lin Xinlet go ofQin Jingand began to strokeYao Tang’s arm as if to comfort the latter.
Thinking that Lin Xinwas finally caving in,Yang Nianfelt a little better.
“I told you, Weiweiis not an illegitimate daughter,” he insisted. “This is just a rumor, nothing else.”
He glanced at them one by one before adding slowly, “In order for your apology to be acceptable, you have to publicly admit that you were only playing a prank on her. Of course, you need to offer a public apology as well.”
Qin Jing scoffed again. “Then what about the fact that Yan Wei provoked us first and deliberately implicated International Middle School to stir up trouble? Shouldn’t we reveal this to the public as well?”
Yang Nian froze. He wasn’t expecting to hear something like this.
The other exchange students had said nothing about it, but judging by Yan Wei’s personality, he wouldn’t put it past her to do this kind of thing.
“Are you still talking about yesterday’s incident?” he asked, his face clouded with doubt. “I… I don’t think I’ve heard everything in detail.”
When he noticed that the girls only became angrier, he added, “If Yan Weiis truly the one at fault, I will make sure that she makes up for her mistakes.”
Qin Jing huffed again, but in the end, she told him everything from start to finish.
He also told Yang Nianabout the unpleasant remarks thatYan Weihad said and the punishment she had set forYao Tang, which called for the latter to kneel down at her feet.
Even so, Yang Niansaw nothing strange in any of it. “You must have misunderstood.Weiweiis a kindhearted girl. I’m sure she wouldn’t have madeYao Tangkneel even if you lost the bet.
“Also, I hope you know that this matter would affect not only No. 1 High School, butInternational Middle Schoolas well. Do consider the big picture carefully before you do anything rash.”
Lin Xin’s eyes widened the moment Yang NiancalledYan Weikind. “What are you trying to say, exactly?” she demanded.
Yang Nian flinched slightly at the hostility of her tone. She sounded as though she thought he was some lowly fool. Still, he cleared his throat and brushed his discomfort away.
“What I’m saying is that when you apologize to her later on, you should just omit the part about her rumors. Of course, I am also willing to compensate you for the damages that Weiweicaused.”
