Chapter 454: Chapter 454
An Meiqi’s face immediately swelled up from a slap.
What was most unbelievable for her was that her father basically had never hit her in his life; today was the second time he laid a hand on her.
"Her dad, what are you doing? The child already has a concussion, and you’re hitting her now. Aren’t you afraid her concussion will get worse? What if there’s actually something wrong with her brain in the future, and you have nowhere to cry."
"Why can’t you just talk it out? Why are you learning to use violence now?"
Liu Jie hurriedly checked her daughter’s cheek.
Pained, she quickly fetched a towel to prepare a cold compress for her daughter.
An Xin slammed the door shut.
"You’re still worried about her concussion; you should worry whether I can continue sitting in the director’s position. You should worry whether your brother’s vice-dean position can remain secure."
An Xin was in panic. Both he and Liu Ming realized things weren’t looking good this time.
He is the newly appointed dean of just one year, known for his vigorous style, bold reform plans, and support from the higher-ups.
Dean Zhang has a lot of influence; the funding for various school aid programs was all brought in by him personally.
It’s said Dean Zhang’s classmates and friends are all prominent figures, either deans themselves or in the health bureau, including major doctors; just the sheer number of them is huge.
He and Liu Ming were terrified of being ousted by the dean, constantly trying to impress him. Now it’s all been ruined by their daughter.
"What are you talking about? It’s just about some fight, is it that serious? How does it involve you and my brother?"
Only now did Liu Jie realize that her daughter’s incident might not be a simple case of fighting. How else could it involve so many things?
"I also hope it’s just a simple fighting incident, but do you know who your daughter hit?"
An Xin was too angry to speak.
An Meiqi certainly knows how to pick people to provoke; on her very first day in the dormitory, can’t she just stay put and live nicely in the dormitory?
She chose to take someone else’s bed; if you take it, why not pick a soft target?
And she got into a conflict with someone; now it’s a problem, the person she tangled with!
Their backing and connections are more robust than hers; it’s clear from Dean Zhang’s words and actions that he’s protecting Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"Meiqi, what’s the matter? Didn’t you explain clearly about Jiang Xiaoxiao? Who exactly is Jiang Xiaoxiao?"
Liu Jie also became anxious.
Her husband’s and brother’s positions are her reliance as well; colleagues in the workplace give her face due to her husband and brother.
If something happened to her brother and husband, what would she have left?
The father and father-in-law will both retire soon, within a couple of years. The influence of the older generation has long been depleted; if they don’t have new forces to replace them, their family would collapse.
Originally, her husband and brother were doing well.
The brother just had to endure a little longer to be transferred to another school as the principal, and her husband was likely to take over her brother’s position. Who would have thought something so big would happen here?
An Meiqi pouted, feeling her parents were so materialistic, not even caring about her.
"What’s so special about Jiang Xiaoxiao? Isn’t it just some Old Song, Elder Meng, Mr. Feng who made calls? Dean Zhang is just muddle-headed; Jiang Xiaoxiao is nothing himself."
What is Jiang Xiaoxiao?
Liu Jie almost fainted upon hearing this.
"Which Old Song, which Elder Meng, which Mr. Feng are you talking about?"
An Meiqi didn’t know.
She shook her head blankly, "Mom, how would I know? Weren’t those the words of Dean Zhang? He mentioned something like Old Song, Elder Meng, Mr. Feng, as well as Mr. Wang calling him. I didn’t memorize it; remembering these few names is already not bad."
"Are these people very powerful? Why is Dean Zhang always protecting Jiang Xiaoxiao because of these people and even gave me a major demerit."
She felt her parents were very influential and had never encountered someone more formidable than herself.
"What do you know? You spend your days showing off with your family’s power and being arrogant; what else do you understand? Listen to the people she mentions; how can you not know who they are? The Mr. Wang the dean mentions is the dean’s teacher."
"Mr. Feng, Elder Meng are both giants in the medical field. As for the matter of Old Sir Song, how can you not know Old Song? Recently it was widely spread that Old Sir Song was poisoned. Add to that the stroke; who in the Capital City doesn’t know this."
"Have you not seen the documents issued for the matter, with the police department establishing a task force specially to solve the case. Just look at what your daughter has done, offending one person and offending a whole circle."
Dean Zhang wouldn’t side with Jiang Xiaoxiao; should he side with your daughter? What background does your daughter have? Just with my old face and your brother’s old face, do you think we can invite any of these elders?
Can we invite Old Song, Mr. Feng, or Elder Meng? People probably don’t even know who we are."
Liu Jie sank into the chair heavily.
The big shots in her husband’s mouth are people they usually can’t even meet with.
Even though Liu Jie usually thought her husband and brother were her family’s reliance, and she showed off their status outside, thinking they were very formidable, but compared to those big shots, they were far behind.
Now, her daughter’s fighting incident has caused such a mess.
The opposition has so many people backing them, any of whom would be renowned if invited.
Which one of them could they possibly offend? They have offended a whole circle of them.
Just to think, if Jiang Xiaoxiao speaks two words to those big shots, if they drop a hint, it would be enough for those under them to deal with them.
She spent her life in the song and dance troupe; is she going to face such stormy situations in the end?
An Meiqi carelessly argued back, "What’s with those old folks Jiang Xiaoxiao mentioned? Just hearing the names, you can tell they are very old. They’re probably of the generation similar to grandpa and grandpa-in-law, people who will retire in a few years. What power could they have?"
"Mom and dad, don’t wear those mournful faces anymore. Uncle will become a principal in the future; I can just transfer to his school, can’t I? I won’t stay at the medical school; it’s no good here."
"People aren’t friendly at all. On my first day at the dormitory, it was already . I haven’t even told you, but that Xie Baozhu didn’t help me and even looked all aggrieved, as if I bullied her greatly."
This time, Liu Jie went up and slapped her daughter.
An Meiqi finally realized something might be seriously wrong.
