School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Chapter 039 Sister Takes Charge

The words were sharp, showing complete disregard for Xiao Han, as well as a total lack of consideration for the pride of a teenager.

Luckily, Xiao Han had a strong heart. If it were someone else, they would have probably collapsed by now.

"Yes, I'm poor!" Xiao Han nodded and said, "But of course, my ambitions are not poor. What about you? You'll probably remain the same for your entire life, right? With your nature, you'll never be able to integrate into the upper echelons of society. You may have money, but that's just the wealth of upstarts."

Slap!

Madam Jiang suddenly lashed out with a slap.

The slap was so hard that Xiao Han saw stars and five red marks immediately appeared on his face.

"Don't hit him!" Zhang Daguo hurried to protect Xiao Han.

"You little beast!" Madam Jiang was trembling with rage, teeth clenched as she scolded, "I do have money, and you poor wretch dare talk to me like this. We will not let you off this time. Tell me, how will you compensate us!"

"I have no money, but I do have my life!" Xiao Han responded boldly.

Zhang Daguo looked at Xiao Han with surprise. To think, he would say such bold words—this didn't seem like something a student would say, but rather something a delinquent would utter.

"Xiao Han, watch your tone!" Zhang Daguo glared at Xiao Han. He then tried to pacify Mr. and Mrs. Jiang.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were prominent figures in Linjiang City, respected wherever they went, so Zhang Daguo had to consider their feelings. However, Xiao Han's interjection made the situation particularly thorny.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Zhang Daguo hastily turned to Mr. and Mrs. Jiang with a forced smile, saying, "Brother Jiang, students will inevitably have conflicts. I don't think there's a need to make a big deal out of this. Why not let Xiao Han apologize to Xiaoliang, and we can call it even?"

"We demand compensation!" Madam Jiang hissed, seemingly intent on not letting Xiao Han off unless he paid, and determined not to back down.

"So how much do you think is appropriate...?" Director Zhang curiously inquired, wondering how much they were expecting.

Zhang Daguo was aware of Xiao Han's financial situation, and so he planned to have the school cover the compensation. Of course, the amount had to be reasonable. After all, school funds had to be accounted for, and a large sum would be difficult to justify to the finance department. It's not like they could say it was for reimbursing a student's debts, right?

"One hundred thousand!" Madam Jiang demanded exorbitantly.

Sss...

Zhang Daguo was nearly scared out of his wits by this astronomical demand. His complexion changed. Meanwhile, Xiao Han remained as calm as a breeze, undisturbed and self-possessed. He smiled and said, "Don't expect a penny from me, if you can, just call the police."

"You!" Madam Jiang was truly stung by Xiao Han's barb.

This situation, after all, wasn't a big deal, merely a quarrel between students. Moreover, Madam Jiang knew that her son had brought along two others, and yet the three of them lost in a fight. Considering Xiao Han's character, he wouldn't have initiated the confrontation. If they really brought the police into this, it could become troublesome.

However, if she didn't vent out her anger, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep for a few days. Madam Jiang sneered, "Fine, no money? Then I'll just have to find someone to knock out your front teeth."

"Please, let's not escalate things!" Director Zhang definitely didn't want the situation to worsen, as it would be bad for both him and the school. He could only try to smooth things over as much as possible, "Madam Jiang, asking for one hundred thousand is really going overboard. Besides, given Xiao Han's financial circumstances, he can't even afford ten thousand, let alone one hundred thousand.

Isn't this making things difficult for him?"

"Can't afford it?" Madam Jiang smiled, "Then let him kneel before my son and knock his head on the ground three times, and we'll pretend this never happened!"

"You!" Director Zhang couldn't stand listening anymore.

Slap!

Suddenly, Li Xiaoya slapped Madam Jiang on the face.

"Ah!" Madam Jiang exclaimed, clutching her face, and roared furiously, "You slut, you... you dare to hit me!"

"I'll tell you, this slap is the very same one you just delivered to Xiao Han's face," Li Xiaoya sneered coldly, "Now I'm returning it to you exactly as is!"

"You!" Madam Jiang was furious, her talons bared as she sought to claw back the situation.

"Madam, madam, let it be, let it be!" Jiang Yicai hurriedly held back Madam Jiang.

Continuing like this would only complicate matters further. It was clear this woman was a fierce opponent, and they needed to thoroughly investigate her background before proceeding further.

Jiang Yicai dragged Madam Jiang out by hook or by crook.

The office quieted down a lot all of a sudden.

"Xiao Han, are you alright?" Li Xiaoya gently touched Xiao Han's reddened face, feeling distressed.

"I... I'm fine," Xiao Han awkwardly dodged Li Xiaoya's hand.

"This woman went too far," Li Xiaoya gritted her teeth and said, "I'll thoroughly investigate them when we get back and find out what this family really does."

"How may I address you, madam?" Zhang Daguo quickly asked.

"My name is Li Xiaoya," Li Xiaoya replied, "Director Zhang can call me Xiao Li."

"Sigh, Xiao Han is just too stubborn!" Zhang Daguo sighed deeply and then said, "If he had just lowered his head earlier, admitted his mistake, perhaps things wouldn't have become this complicated."

"That's just who Xiao Han is!" Li Xiaoya turned her head to look at Xiao Han.

Xiao Han gave Li Xiaoya a sheepish grin.

Li Xiaoya covered her mouth, giggling. After getting to know a bit about Xiao Han, she found herself quite fond of this boy on the brink of manhood.

Li Xiaoya looked at Zhang Daguo and said, "Director Zhang, today I especially came to deliver a letter of thanks for Xiao Han."

"A letter of thanks?" Zhang Daguo was taken aback, "What letter of thanks?"

"Yesterday afternoon..." Li Xiaoya recounted in detail the events that had unfolded the previous afternoon.

Zhang Daguo looked shocked. He turned to Xiao Han.

Xiao Han didn't say a word, only nodded shyly.

"Alright," Zhang Daguo nodded, "so..."

"Thank you for nurturing such an outstanding student like Xiao Han, a student with the courage to do what's right!" Li Xiaoya said earnestly, "Therefore, I've decided to donate three hundred thousand yuan in scholarships to Linjiang No.1 Middle School."

"Ah?" Zhang Daguo was surprised.
