The Whole Family Rallies to Protect Their Own and Demand Justice
The luxury car slowly drove through the school gates.
It stopped in front of the classroom building.
Tall and upright, Li Zeyuan strode on his long legs, an air of nobility about him, and led Ye Huo to the principal's office.
His driver, Mu Lan, followed behind, keeping Bai Yaxi in custody.
They pushed open the door and entered.
The moment Jian Yan saw her daughter, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She rushed over and threw her arms around her daughter, pulling her close. Her voice was full of affection. "My precious Huohuo, you're finally back! Mommy was worried sick!"
"Mom."
Ye Huo called out softly, saying nothing else.
Jian Yan's heart melted.
No, her precious Huohuo was her very life.
Whenever she heard her voice, she couldn't help overflowing with maternal love, desperately wanting to keep her safe.
"My sweet baby, I'm just glad you're back. This is Mommy's fault. I didn't protect you properly, and you've been wronged. No one gets to bully my precious daughter as they please. Mommy will make sure you get justice here today..."
Jian Yan transformed into a mother wolf of steel, fiercely protective of her cub with all her heart.
This cold, commanding beauty and medical heavyweight was gentle as water only with her precious daughter. With everyone else, she was a queen who acted swiftly and decisively.
"That's right! No one gets to bully my precious daughter!"
Ye Chuan declared, full of fire.
Old Master Jian and Old Master Ye sat in their chairs like two towering mountains.
They had seen the rumors posted on the school bulletin board, and their lungs had nearly burst with rage.
What outrageous nerve!
Old Master Ye and his precious granddaughter were plainly grandfather and granddaughter, yet certain people had spouted nonsense, spreading rumors that he was keeping her as his mistress.
The old master, an upright man who had dominated the business world all his life, could no longer sit still.
He slammed his hand on the table, his black eyes radiating the kingly might to awe the world. "Principal, bring the person who spread the rumors here!"
"Yes, Old Master Ye."
The principal immediately had the school security officers bring Bean Sprout and Bai Yaxi to the principal's office.
The moment Bean Sprout saw the room full of big shots glaring at him in fury, he froze in terror.
Heavens!
Were these people going to have him thrown in prison?
Limping, he dropped to his knees on the spot, covered his head, and cried for mercy. "I'm sorry, Ye Huo's family! I didn't mean to do it! Bai Yaxi told me to put them up! It had nothing to do with me, really, nothing to do with me!!!"
Old Master Ye turned his cold, bloodthirsty gaze on Bai Yaxi again.
Bai Yaxi looked up at him, and her heart trembled.
"I... I was wrong!"
Bai Yaxi looked at the imposing big shots before her and spoke with a slight tremble, her tone even a little ingratiating.
Old Master Ye fixed his deep gaze coldly on Bai Yaxi.
That icy stare seemed ready to slice her to death a thousand cuts at a time, frightening Bai Yaxi into retreating, a chill running down her spine.
"My precious granddaughter isn't someone just anyone can spread rumors about! If you dare bully my precious granddaughter, I'll make you pay a price you'll never forget as long as you live!"
His furious voice rang throughout the office, instantly cowing everyone present.
In his youth, Old Master Ye had been a powder keg, ready to take on anyone who rubbed him the wrong way!
The word "fear" had never existed in his dictionary.
Even though he was old now, and had chosen to retire and return home after reaching a certain level in his career,
his lingering authority remained, and at that moment, everyone, including Bai Yaxi, was scared to death.
The principal chimed in, "Bai Yaxi, Bai Yaxi, when you came to tattle last time, I told you not to provoke Young Miss Ye Huo. Why wouldn't you listen?
"Do you even know? Her maternal grandfather is Jian Jingxuan, commander of the Capital Military Region, and her paternal grandfather is Ye Zhengyang, the richest man in the country! Your family background isn't even worth mentioning in front of hers.
"You really have some nerve, spreading rumors that the richest man in the country's maternal granddaughter is being kept by someone! She has billions in family wealth to inherit. Would she ever need someone to keep her?"
What?
A military region commander!
The richest man in the country!
The Capital's number one Ye Family!!!
Ye Huo was a genuine heiress to a wealthy family.
Bai Yaxi was now as timid as a mouse, trembling with fear.
She immediately dropped to her knees, clutched Ye Huo's leg, and begged, "Young Miss Ye, I'm sorry, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! I'll do anything you ask! Please let me off this once, all right?"
Ye Huo lightly brushed off her sleeves and lazily raised her eyes to look at Bai Yaxi. Her red lips parted. "All right. I want you to apologize in front of the whole school and clear up the rumors!"
"No problem!"
Bai Yaxi was so frightened that every nerve in her body was taut. Like a dog, she nodded again and again.
"Well done, my precious Huohuo! Mommy and Daddy will always support you!"
Her father, Ye Chuan, wore a proud expression.
Her mother, Jian Yan, was also full of affection and pride.
Though her precious daughter was young, she spoke and acted with neither servility nor arrogance, and always knew where to draw the line.
If she had done something, she owned up to it!
If she hadn't, no one could hope to dump a basin of shit on her head!
She wasn't a girl who was easy to push around.
In that respect, she was a lot like Jian Yan.
Jian Yan's heart melted as she looked at her precious daughter.
She waved a hand and said happily, "Come on, my precious Huohuo! There'll be an assembly on the sports field. Let's go clear up the rumors about my precious daughter!"
"Mm."
Ye Huo nodded.
The principal hurriedly gave the order, gathering the school's several thousand students on the sports field for an assembly.
Ye Huo, who had placed first in the school exams, was going to deliver a speech in front of the whole school.
