Chapter 20 Xu Shiyan commits a crime, Zhou Dingyu solves it secretly

As Xu Li's only younger brother, Xu Shiyan is nine years younger than her. He has always been an excellent student and has always been ranked among the top three in his grade.

Moreover, Xu Shiyan not only has excellent academic performance, but also has musical talent. His parents have spent a lot of money to train him to learn musical instruments and vocal music, and he has also served as the school's literary and artistic backbone for many years.

Xu Li didn’t know what this child, who could be called “other people’s child” by other parents, had done wrong that made the teacher call her.

*

Yucheng High School.

The sky was dark with gloomy clouds.

Xu Li arrived in a hurry and knocked on the door of the teaching office without even having time to catch her breath.

As soon as the door opened, the two young men standing inside with their heads down turned their heads at the same time and stared at the door eagerly, like stray dogs.

Xu Li didn't expect that besides Xu Shiyan, there was another person who was punished to stand.

Did the two of them have a fight?

She glanced at Xu Shiyan from top to bottom. The boy was probably worried about being scolded, so he avoided her gaze and lowered his head . " Sister ... "

After confirming that he only had some bruises and blood scabs on the corners of his mouth, Xu Li breathed a sigh of relief and did not respond to him immediately.

On the other hand, the other boy not only had blood scabs at the corners of his mouth, but also had panda eyes.

Looking miserable.

It seems that Xu Shiyan is not at a disadvantage.

Xu Li walked straight over and said to the director of the teaching department who was sitting inside , " Hello, teacher. I am Xu Shiyan's sister."

The dean asked straight away , " Do you know what your brother did wrong?"

Xu Li took a deep breath and said sincerely:

"It was wrong for him to fight with his classmates, but I hope the school can give him a chance to correct his mistakes and make peace with his classmates."

The dean laughed angrily , " Fighting with classmates? Recently your brother skipped classes to sing in the bar, and he refused to change his ways. A few days ago, he had a conflict with people in the bar, and even the police were almost alerted!"

Xu Li was confused, and the dean continued,

"That time he begged us not to call you, saying he would change for the better. The school gave him a chance to correct his mistakes because he had always been a model student. But right after that incident, he went to the bar again last night!"

After saying this, the dean's voice became even more severe.

"His academic performance has plummeted recently, and he is now ranked outside the top 100 in his grade! The school's advice is to record a serious warning and impose additional penalties because of the bad influence, to serve as a warning to others!"

Skipping classes? Singing for money? Punishment?

After digesting this news, Xu Li's head buzzed.

Take a few deep breaths and force yourself to calm down:

"Excuse me, teacher. Can I have a private chat with Xu Shiyan? I have been too busy at home recently and have neglected to pay attention to and discipline him. I want to know what is going on."

The Dean of Studies had heard about the big incident that happened in the Xu family and knew that the elder sister was the only one who could take responsibility for the incident.

He nodded and said , " Okay."

Before leaving, he was about to drag away the injured boy next to Xu Shiyan.

Unexpectedly, the boy said to Xu Li before leaving:

"Sister, please don't blame Xu Shiyan! I was the one who took him to the bar when he skipped classes! A few days ago, someone was making things difficult for him when he was singing. I stood up for him and said a few words to that person, and then we started fighting. That person started it first. None of this has anything to do with Xu Shiyan!"

Xu Li was stunned. It turned out that these two people were not only not "enemies", but also "comrades in the same trench".

The dean of studies grabbed the boy and said:

"Qin Ziang, shut up! Your parents will be here soon! You will be the next one to be punished!"

As the dean of studies and Qin Ziang left, a tall and slender figure came up from the corner of the stairs.

The man walked with a steady and confident step, heading straight to the Dean's office.

It was Zhou Dingyu.

He took on a task from his aunt, Ms. Zhou Ningwei, two days ago and came to school on Friday to deal with the trouble caused by his cheap cousin Qin Ziang.

But before Zhou Dingyu reached the teaching office, a very low woman's voice came out through the half-open door of the teaching office.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Zhou Dingyu was familiar with this voice.

He paused and did not move forward.

Listen attentively.

...

In the teaching department.

Xu Shiyan pursed his lips and lowered his head:

"The situation is just like what the guy named Qin Ziang said just now. He was the one who started the fight, and he stood up for me. That guy started to beat Qin Ziang first, so I rushed over and beat him up together with Qin Ziang."

Xu Li was silent for a moment , " Why did you skip class to go out and sing?"

"I'm a man, and you shouldn't be the only one to handle the household affairs."

"So you go out to sing just to share the pressure with me?"

The young man raised his voice slightly , " The bar pays us 3,000 yuan a month for our resident singer, which is enough for our rent, utilities and electricity."

Xu Li laughed angrily, her expression was unclear, but her voice was somewhat weak:

"Xu Shiyan, you are already seventeen, you should know what is important and what is not. The college entrance examination is only a month away, do you intend to ruin your future like this?"

Xu Shiyan stopped talking.

Xu Li sighed, "I went to see our mother today."

"How's our mother?" the young man's voice sounded again, revealing concern and worry.

"She's still in good condition. I've found a lawyer for her. She'll clear her name and get out. But before that, Xu Shiyan, you're ruining your future like this. Have you ever thought about whether she'll be disappointed when she sees you like this?"

Xu Shiyan seemed to be concerned about something else, and asked directly , " What about the attorney's fees?"

“I’ve already raised it.”

The boy questioned , " What did you get with the chips?"

Xu Li took a breath and said , " I sold the cattery for half a million."

Xu Shiyan stopped talking.

Xu Li's voice softened slightly, revealing a firm tone:

"Xu Shiyan, you have to remember that any crisis is not an excuse or reason for you to act recklessly like this. Listen to me, admit your mistake to the dean later, and promise not to act recklessly again. I will take care of all the matters at home."

Xu Shiyan finally lowered his head , " Sister, I'm sorry, I was too anxious ... "

Xu Li sighed, feeling very sad, and rubbed the boy's hair twice , " Study hard, ok?"

"Um ... "

--

Zhou Dingyu, who had just "eavesdropped" on the conversation between the brother and sister, was now invited into the principal's office by the principal who had heard the news.

The principal smiled and asked , " Mr. Zhou, how come you have time to come here?"

Zhou Dingyu's attitude was quite polite . " My child got into trouble, so I came over to deal with it."

The principal was stunned . " Which student?"

Zhou Dingyu slowly stroked the Buddhist beads on his wrist , " Qin Ziang. My cousin is usually a little naughty, and I am sorry to cause you trouble."

The principal thought of the bar singing incident a few days ago, which involved two students, one in the third year of high school and the other in the second year. The second year student seemed to be called Qin Ziang.

I didn’t expect that the other party was actually the family member of this big shot!

Then listen to the chilly tone of this great man's voice.

He couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

You should know that half of the teaching buildings, as well as the library and gymnasium of Yucheng High School were donated by Zhou Dingyu.

The old teaching building will be renovated next year, and I will have to ask him for help.

How dare I offend the principal?

Under the absolute power and strength, there is absolute fear and respect . " I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, the flood has really washed away the Dragon King Temple!"

After that, the principal quickly called a teacher over , " Go and tell Director Li that the school has announced that Qin Ziang will be exempted from punishment and will be allowed to attend classes normally next week."

The teacher received the order and hurried to do it.

"Principal Lin." Zhou Dingyu leaned on the leather sofa, his long legs crossed, his aura noble and unyielding.

He said calmly, "Since we are going to treat them leniently, should we treat everyone equally?"

The principal paused , " What do you mean?"

"literal meaning."

The dark clouds outside the window suddenly moved lower, hanging darkly on the treetops, as if rain would pour down at any time.

Half of Zhou Dingyu's body was hidden outside the light, his expression was gloomy, and his aura was fully open.

The principal shuddered suddenly and immediately understood.

Teaching Department.

Xu Li watched Qin Ziang being asked to leave by a teacher with a friendly face and the teacher announced that the punishment would be lifted.

She was so happy that she thought Xu Shiyan would be the next one, but nothing happened.

Xu Li was a little anxious.

Why were there two people who committed the crime but only one person was punished?

Just as Xu Li was wondering, a figure came in from outside. When the dean saw the person, he immediately stood up straight and said , " Principal."

The principal hummed, and his expression softened slightly when he looked at Xu Li and Xu Shiyan.

"You guys can go back now. After reconsidering the matter, the school has decided to waive the punishment imposed on Xu Shiyan. I hope Xu Shiyan will study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination."

Xu Li was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on her face , " Thank you, thank you! Thank you so much."

The principal personally escorted the two out of the office.

Xu Li and Xu Shiyan went downstairs, still looking confused.

Why would the principal suddenly show mercy and grant clemency outside the law?
