Chapter 199 - 200: Her Fiancé (11)
When Qin Mobai arrived at the school, people from the Xi Family were already there, including Xi Yao’s mother and aunt. Both were formidable figures. They didn’t directly approach Lou Nan but instead sat in the principal’s office, demanding an explanation. Otherwise, they wouldn’t leave today.
However, Xi Yao was not in the principal’s office when Qin Mobai arrived, and he could see the tension in the room.
The principal was bending over backward for Xi Yao’s mother, after all, he couldn’t afford to offend either side.
Lou Nan was brought in by Qin Mobai’s people. Although it wasn’t clear what the relationship was, anyone Qin Mobai could get into the school was certainly not an ordinary person. So the principal didn’t dare to speak and waited for Qin Mobai to arrive.
When Qin Mobai arrived, the principal finally felt a bit relieved. Even though the incident happened at school, it was better to let them handle it themselves...
Mrs. Xi saw that it was Qin Mobai who had arrived and understood why the principal was reluctant to hand over the girl who hit her daughter.
"Oh, I was wondering whose connections were so extensive, turns out it’s the Qin Family’s young master!" Mrs. Xi said coldly.
Qin Mobai glanced at the situation in the office, also looking at Mrs. Xi, then asked the principal: "What happened this morning?"
"I’m not too clear on the specifics either, just heard from the students in their class that when they walked in, they saw the two girls fighting, and Lou Xi slapped Xi Yao twice." The principal spoke, trembling, knowing he couldn’t afford to upset either side. "The students in the class said it was Lou Nan who hit Xi Yao..."
"Hmph, Yaoyao is our family’s little princess, we can’t even bear to scold her, let alone hit her. Who knew she’d get hit just attending classes at school!" Mrs. Xi sat on the sofa, glaring coldly at Qin Mobai. "I really didn’t know when the Qin Family got a ’Lou Nan’ as a relative. If the Qin young master doesn’t give me an explanation today, this matter won’t be over."
Qin Mobai had already heard from Su Lin once about what happened in the classroom earlier, but since it was one-sided, he needed to hear what the principal and Mrs. Xi had to say.
He pondered for a moment and said, "If it really was Lou Nan who hit your daughter, I won’t cover for my side. But if Mrs. Xi’s daughter was the one who started it, I won’t let this slide either."
"Is the Qin young master suggesting cutting ties with our Xi Family for the sake of someone with an unclear background?" Mrs. Xi threatened, "Since you value the peace between our two families so little, I have nothing more to say."
This matter had escalated beyond Lou Xi and Xi Yao into an issue between two families.
Su Lin immediately pulled Qin Mobai’s hand and whispered, "President Qin, severing ties with the Xi Family over Lou Nan isn’t worth it!" Moreover, the older generations of the Xi Family and Qin Family had good relations, and if things turned sour here, Qin Mobai might be the cause of worsening relations between the two families.
How could Qin Mobai not understand Su Lin’s concerns? From the moment he heard about it, he knew it was a difficult issue, but if he didn’t step in, Lou Nan would be expelled by the Xi Family. Considering Lou Nan was still Lou Xi’s sister, albeit not biological, Qin Mobai couldn’t just ignore it.
Qin Mobai disregarded Su Lin’s objections, standing in front of Mrs. Xi, he said, "We’ll know what really happened when it’s investigated. By then, whoever is at fault will be clear."
