Chapter 236: Chapter 236

The crowd’s hearts were all stirred up.

"Got slapped in the face!"

"This slap is too vicious!"

"This Jia family’s princess is too arrogant, deserves it!"

Lin Fan looked at Jia Xueling: "You heard it, the principal won’t kick me out because of sponsorship, so there’s no need to trouble your dad. Besides, if your dad really cuts off the school’s sponsorship, I’ll cover the cost myself."

Lin Fan is wealthy, even wealthier than her dad Jia Zuozhen. Jia Xueling knew this; she had no way to refute.

Lin Fan continued, "I haven’t told the principal about your actions yet. Do you want me to inform the principal and have you expelled, or should we settle this here?"

Jia Xueling bit her silver tooth: "Let them go!"

The two rogue students finally released Lin Shanshan and Cheng Xiaolu.

The two girls quickly ran behind Lin Fan, instantly feeling a great sense of security with him there.

Lin Fan said, "I heard from my sister that you hit her today, correct? That’s wrong; school bullying is a very vicious act. How about this, you apologize to her and then slap yourself three times to settle this matter."

Just apologizing is one thing, but slapping herself three times?

Jia Xueling felt massively insulted and angrily said, "Dream on!"

She couldn’t possibly apologize to Lin Shanshan, let alone slap her own face. Consider her status, the eldest daughter of the Jia family, Jia Zuozhen’s daughter. Doing such a thing, where’s her face going to be?

Lin Fan chuckled, "You won’t do it, right? Then there’s no other way; we’ll handle this officially. I’ll report your behavior to the principal and let him deal with it. Record the wrongdoing if needed, expel where necessary."

Jia Xueling was furious, knowing the relationship between Lin Fan and the principal was quite intricate; the principal greatly admired Lin Fan. On the first day of school, the principal even personally greeted Lin Fan at the entrance, showing how much he was valued.

If Lin Fan reports to the principal, who she has struck is Lin Fan’s own sister, the principal will likely punish her severely, and expulsion is not impossible!

Moreover, even if her dad Jia Zuozhen intervenes, it wouldn’t work; the principal might be willing to offend Jia Zuozhen for Lin Fan!

She didn’t want to be expelled; she’s the school beauty, admired by everyone. If it’s spread that she’s expelled, she’d become the school’s joke.

Thinking of this, Jia Xueling bit her lip and said, "I can apologize to her for hitting her, but I won’t slap myself in the face!"

Lin Fan laughed, "Apologizing is necessary, but if apologies worked, why would we need the police? You’ve made a mistake; apologizing is basic, but you must pay a necessary price."

Jia Xueling angrily said, "Lin Fan, don’t push me too far. My dad is Jia Zuozhen; you can’t afford to provoke him. Think about the consequences, can you handle it?"

Lin Fan responded, "Oh, is your dad that powerful?"

Jia Xueling sneered, "You have no idea about my dad’s capabilities. His network is beyond your imagination. I’ve already told him about that day; he’s very angry. If I tell him about today, just wait, you definitely won’t have a good outcome!"

Lin Fan sneered, realizing that indeed, Jia Xueling had spoken to Jia Zuozhen, which led to him targeting Lin Fan repeatedly.

Seeing Lin Fan silent, Jia Xueling thought he was intimidated and secretly rejoiced, thinking Lin Fan, what are you fighting me with?

Jia Xueling chuckled, "I’ve already explained his power to you. I hope today’s matter ends here. I guarantee I won’t tell my dad about this!"

Jia Xueling was threatening and promising; as long as Lin Fan didn’t embarrass her publicly, her goal was achieved. After the matter is over, she could still deal with Lin Fan later.

Knocking one stick, giving one candy, but Lin Fan didn’t fall for it. The truth is, Jia Zuozhen was already taking action against him, and even though he didn’t yet know how to handle it, there’s no way he’d bow down to Jia Zuozhen.

Lin Fan calmly said, "Stop struggling, I’ll give you one last chance to decide yourself in three seconds."

While speaking, he picked up his phone, pretending to call Liu Mengjie.

Jia Xueling was both anxious and angry--her threat had failed!

Her only leverage against Lin Fan was her dad, but Lin Fan seemed unafraid of her dad, leaving her helpless.

Three seconds quickly passed.

Seeing Jia Xueling unresponsive, Lin Fan reached out to press the call button, ready to call Liu Mengjie.

Jia Xueling finally spoke, her face flushed.

Lin Fan’s hand paused.

Jia Xueling lowered her head to Lin Shanshan: "I’m sorry."

Lin Shanshan and Cheng Xiaolu exchanged glances, both happily realizing they’d succeeded; Lin Fan had subdued this unreasonable Jia family’s eldest daughter.

Lin Shanshan giggled, "What did you say, can you say it louder? I can’t hear clearly."

Jia Xueling was angry at heart but didn’t dare continue stubbornly. Her voice grew louder, and through clenched teeth, said, "I’m sorry!"

Lin Shanshan replied, "That’s better; I heard it clearly."

Cheng Xiaolu said, "Now that she’s apologized, it’s time for the face slapping. I’m really looking forward to it."

Everyone was watching Jia Xueling, waiting for her next step.

Jia Xueling slapped her own face, following with left and right blows, slapping each cheek twice, fulfilling Lin Fan’s request—three slaps in total.

Cheng Xiaolu laughed until she bent over: "This face-slapping is great; it would be even better with a few more slaps."

Though the people around didn’t dare show it, they secretly enjoyed seeing the Jia family’s eldest daughter humiliated, pleased indeed. Many had been bullied by Jia Xueling’s arrogance and Lin Fan avenged them all.

Jia Xueling felt utterly humiliated, her eyes turning red, desperately holding back tears from falling.

Jia Xueling angrily glanced at Lin Fan, then turned and left, followed closely by her two rogue companions.

"Well done, Teacher Lin!"

Someone unknown cheered, leading the applause.

Instantly, the snack bar echoed with applause and laughter.

Walking out of the snack bar, Jia Xueling heard the cheers, staggered, almost falling in anger, stomped her foot in frustration, and couldn’t hold back anymore, starting to cry.

Jia Xueling immediately called her dad, Jia Zuozhen.

"Dad, Lin Fan bullied me again; you must defend me!"

Jia Zuozhen angrily asked, "What happened?"

Jia Xueling said, "I don’t know, he threatened me as a teacher, forcing me to apologize and... and slap myself three times. I brought you up, but that bastard wasn’t afraid of you; under his coercion, I had to... wah wah wah... Dad, you must help me!"

Jia Zuozhen jumped up angrily, "How dare he, that guy is simply too much! Looks like the lesson he’s received isn’t enough; see how I’ll deal with him next!"
