Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 467

Han Jingchen stopped the car not far from the school to drop off his daughter.

Xinyan waved at Han Jingchen, lifting the thermos bottle he had prepared for her from the car: "Dad, drive slowly. I’m heading back to school."

Han Jingchen nodded at his daughter: "Remember to call Dad if anything comes up."

Xinyan nodded back at him and turned to walk toward the school.

Watching his daughter enter the school gate, Han Jingchen drove off.

Xinyan timed her arrival; she planned to return to the dormitory to get her books before heading to class. However, as soon as she went upstairs, she heard a noisy commotion: "These shoes are brand new. I just got them and now you’ve ruined them. I don’t care, you have to pay for them."

Looking ahead, she saw a crowd gathered in front of dormitory room 307.0. Hearing the voice, she thought, luckily that troublemaker was now out of room 306, or else room 306 would still be in constant chaos.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but thank Jiang Peiqin. It seemed her family background was quite extraordinary, which was evident from Li Yutong’s attitude yesterday and today.

As she got closer, she saw Zhang Zhaodi on her tiptoes watching the commotion: "Zhaodi, what’s going on here?"

Zhang Zhaodi, seeing it was Xinyan, whispered: "I’m not too clear on the details. It seems that Shen Xiaoyu from the German class accidentally spilled ink into Li Yutong’s new shoes while handing someone else the ink, staining them."

Knowing the ins and outs of the situation, Xinyan first returned to her dormitory, packed her books for the afternoon classes, filled a cup with water for herself, and then prepared to go to the classroom.

However, just as she left the dormitory, Zhang Zhaodi pulled her aside: "Xinyan, Shen Xiaoyu is quite pitiful. Is there any way to help her?"

She had heard clearly earlier that Shen Xiaoyu had been helping someone else pass the ink when another student bumped into her, causing the ink to spill directly into Li Yutong’s shoes by pure coincidence.

But how could this situation be helped? Li Yutong was still fuming, and anyone daring to intervene might face harsh words. Besides, after being upset in room 306 yesterday, there’s no way she’d listen to advice now.

Xinyan glanced at Zhang Zhaodi: "It’s better to let things be for a while. Wait until Li Yutong calms down. If we try to intervene now, things could get messy without resolving anything."

Shen Xiaoyu, like her, was from Sichuan. Zhang Zhaodi wanted to help her, but after hearing Xinyan’s reasoning, she found it made sense. Anyway, class was about to start, and this matter definitely wasn’t going to be resolved immediately.

Just then, someone shouted: "It’s getting late, time to go to class."

The crowd quickly dispersed, each person returning to their dormitory to grab books before heading to the classroom.

Li Yutong had more than one pair of shoes, and though she wanted to resolve the matter, it was time for class. She couldn’t skip the first official day of class.

Her father had warned her, causing trouble again would mean no more school for her.

Knowing her father’s temper, if she truly disappointed him, he might actually keep her from coming back to school. However, thinking about the afternoon classes worried her even more.

She had already planned to ask her family to help transfer her department when she went home over the weekend. She really wasn’t cut out for studying English; she didn’t understand a word. Just thinking about attending those classes made her uneasy.

Due to yesterday’s incident, Li Yutong had been warned by her family not to cause any more trouble, so she didn’t dare make a scene: "Shen Xiaoyu, you can’t escape responsibility for this, no matter what, you have to pay for these shoes."

After saying that, she also left the dormitory for the classroom.

Xia Ruhui, following behind her: "Yutong, Shen Xiaoyu doesn’t even have a decent set of clothes. She probably can’t afford to compensate you. If this blows up to the dorm managers, we might get into more trouble. No one else can see inside the shoes anyway, so maybe just let it go for now, what do you think?"

Upon hearing Xia Ruhui’s suggestion, Li Yutong became angry immediately: "It’s easy for you to say that because it wasn’t your shoes that got ruined. Once the ink dries, it’ll still stain my socks every time I wear them. I won’t be able to wear them again. If you want to be the nice person, don’t treat me like a fool."

Afraid of upsetting Li Yutong, Xia Ruhui quickly explained: "I didn’t mean it that way. I’m just worried that if things escalate and we alarm Uncle Li, our families won’t let us off the hook."
