Chapter 80: Let Han Ye Curry Favor

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

“No need, no need. Tell your father that we’ll drink together next time.” Han Lin was a smart person. He had different ways to win over different subordinates and was good at controlling people’s hearts. That was why he had been the mayor for so long.

Suddenly thinking of Shan Yue, Han Lin could not help but say, “Since you’re also in Year Three, why don’t…”

“Uncle Han, please speak,” Yu Hao said seriously.

As he spoke, Han Lin realized something and forced himself to swallow his words. “It’s fine. I still have something on. I’m leaving.”

He had just thought that since Yu Hao was Shan Yue’s classmate, he would ask Yu Hao to take care of Shan Yue in school so that some blind people would not find trouble with Shan Yue when he was negligent.

However, on second thought, if he introduced Shan Yue to Yu Hao and let Yu Hao build a good relationship with Shan Yue, it would be bad if he used Shan Yue’s relationship to build a relationship with the Zhou family.

Moreover, Yu Hao’s father was his subordinate. If he was promoted by the Zhou family, wouldn’t his status be higher than his? That could not be done.

It seemed that he should leave a popular person like Shan Yue to his family. For example, his good-for-nothing son, Han Ye, had nothing to do at home anyway. Why not ask him to please Shan Yue…

Thinking about how to get his son to curry favor with Shan Yue, Han Lin strode away.

“Uncle Han, take care!” Yu Hao said goodbye to him. He thought that he had to go home and talk about meeting Mayor Han today. He had forgotten to ask Shan Yue about it.

After school.

The atmosphere at the Shan family’s dining table was still very strange.

Shan Xing thought about how Shan Yue had scored full marks only today. She was jealous and unwilling to believe it. She was afraid that Sun Ling would change her opinion of Shan Yue after telling her, so she kept her mouth shut.

Shan Chen was not sure what Shan Yue meant. He did not know if Shan Yue wanted her family to know how outstanding her results were, so he could only look at her from time to time, feeling a little helpless.

As for Shan Yue, she simply did not remember the bet with Sun Ling. She finished her meal quietly the entire time and thought about training her body. She went out early for a night run. A few hours later, when she returned to the Shan family’s building with sweat all over her forehead, she heard the commotion in the house on the second floor and stopped in her tracks.

Before she entered, she recognized the voices of the principal, Ms. Li, and the dean. They seemed to be getting close to the Shan family.

“Mother Sun, you really know how to educate children. I didn’t expect that the three outstanding students, Shan Chen, Shan Yue, and Shan Xing, are actually your children,” the principal said with a smile.

“Creak—”

Shan Yue opened the door expressionlessly and saw a room full of people, as well as various gifts, cigarettes, and wine on the ground of the Shan family, and a thick stack of manila envelopes.

It seemed that what happened today had frightened the principal. Afraid that Shan Yue would instruct Han Lin to do something to the school, he quickly went to curry favor.

“Shan Yue, you’re finally back. The teachers and I have been waiting for you for a long time.” The principal hurriedly greeted her and pushed the worried Ms. Li, gesturing for her to quickly stop Shan Yue.

Li Juan no longer had the prestige she had when she reprimanded Shan Yue the previous few times. After encountering the huge pressure from all sides, she no longer dared to look down on Shan Yue. Instead, she said nervously, “Shan Yue, it’s my fault for what happened before.”

Unfortunately, Shan Yue did not care about this at all. As if she did not hear the few people present, she walked straight to the washroom without looking sideways. When the patter of water sounded, everyone present realized that Shan Yue had gone to take a shower because she had just finished exercising.

“This…” The principal and the Shan family stared at each other, at a loss. They came to seek Shan Yue’s understanding and beg her to let the school off, but Shan Yue deliberately ignored them. What should they do?

Looking at the things on the ground and the envelope containing a large stack of money, Sun Ling’s eyelids twitched. She deliberately pretended to be gentle and virtuous. Seeing that Shan Yue was so disrespectful to the teachers, she cursed in her heart. On the surface, she smiled apologetically. “Ahem, I’m sorry. Shan Yue is not very sensible.”

“Don’t, Mother Sun. You can’t say that. Shan Yue is talented and smart. Geniuses have some temper. It’s normal.” The principal quickly mediated.
