The Dean swiftly recalled his words which he said to Wei Mingzhe on the first day of school. He had mentioned that Huo Yao was invited by the Principal to join the school. In the end, he got anxious after finding out Huo Yao had gone from there, so he left halfway before he finished the conversation.

He wanted to let Wei Mingzhe know how much effort the Principal put in to convince Huo Yao to transfer to their school.

Did Wei Mingzhe misunderstand it in the end?

The Dean rubbed his forehead.

Wei Mingzhe could tell that the Dean had probably recalled the conversation. So he curled his lips and said, How could I lie in front of everyone?

The Vice-principal assumed that the Dean was quiet out of guilt, and he smiled maliciously as well. Stop saying that I slandered the Principal. I cant be held responsible for this!

The Dean was about to explain when Song Ning and Huo Jinyan hurriedly came in after they received an urgent notification. They walked into the office anxiously and interrupted him right away.

Sir, what happened to my daughter?

Song Ning sounded really worried. She rushed over to Huo Yao when she saw her standing there and pinched her shoulders. After checking her up thoroughly, Song Ning heaved a sigh of relief.

She had just received a call from the school for her to come over immediately. The caller sounded so solemn that she was terrified that something awful had happened.

The Vice-principal cleared his throat. Then he looked at Song Ning and Huo Jinyan and said somewhat politely, You see, we might not be able to allow your kid to attend the No.1 Middle School. After all, coming in through the backdoor has a huge impact. We informed you both to come today to clarify things and have you remove your child from school.

Song Ning and Huo Jinyan both looked at him in astonishment.

What... what do you mean? Sir, can you make yourself clearer? What do you mean about taking the backdoor? Song Ning was completely puzzled.

Before anyone else could say anything, Huo Jinyan spoke with a frown on his face, Didnt the school reach out to my daughter and invite her to transfer here? You even sent my daughter an Acceptance Letter.

He looked upset.

Huo Jinyan usually seemed rather amicable in front of Huo Yao, but he gave off an inexplicably imposing aura when he had an angry look on his face.

Even someone as proud as the Vice-principal felt somewhat shocked by Huo Jinyans imposing aura. But... what did the husband and wife mean to say?

Were they pretending because they did not want to admit to pulling connections to get their daughter into the school?

This behaviour was simply too disgusting.

Were they acting like this because they were the Principals relatives?

The Vice-principal laughed angrily and said, Dont you know best whether she entered the school due to your connections? Do you want to make the Principal hurry back just to confirm this?

Song Ning was even more baffled. Then she said, Dont you think youve gone overboard talking like this? Why should we suffer this accusation if we did nothing of the sort?

Song Ning briefly paused before she continued. Doesnt the No.1 Middle School have a strict school culture? Dont tell me that you accept backdoor entrants?

The Vice-principal nearly passed out in anger after Song Ning outrageously countered him with a question. They must be acting recklessly due to their connection to the Principal. He finally managed to stutter a reply. Youre absolutely unreasonable!

Song Ning watched as the Vice-principals face turned livid. Suddenly she recalled the grades her daughter had back in the small county and the Acceptance Letter that appeared out of nowhere...

Song Ning felt apprehensive in her heart. Suddenly her overpowering confidence dissipated as though she had been stabbed by a needle.

Oh no, was her daughter in trouble?
