The assistant principal glanced at the phone and frowned, "There’s no mistake. This is the registered number."
"Lin Xuan, you really are an ungrateful wretch! I came here in good faith to handle your fight, begging others to prevent you from being expelled, and this is the attitude you give me?" Jiang Shuqin glared at him, her chest heaving with anger, feeling as though her kindness had been thrown back in her face!
What an unfilial son!
Lin Xuan sneered coldly, "Ms. Jiang, we’ve already severed our relationship. It’s been legally notarized, signed, and stamped. We have no ties anymore. My affairs are none of your concern."
"Fine, fine! It seems your wings have grown strong! Alright, I won’t bother with you anymore! Let’s see how you handle being expelled from Qinghua University!"
"Principal, please handle this according to your school regulations," Jiang Shuqin said, crossing her arms. She wanted to see how far Lin Xuan could go without the Lin family’s help!
The principal frowned. It seemed Jiang Shuqin was indeed Lin Xuan’s mother, but they had cut ties.
Her attitude toward Lin Xuan didn’t seem like that of a mother at all.
What kind of mother would immediately assume her son was at fault?
In his impression, Lin Xuan was an exemplary student, ranking at the top of the competitive computer science department.
"Lin Xuan, has the guardian you contacted arrived?" the principal asked kindly.
"They’re already at the school," Lin Xuan replied.
"Good, we’ll wait a few more minutes," the principal nodded.
Jiang Shuqin’s expression darkened. Lin Xuan had called his own guardian? Who could it be? Was it that woman who was supporting him?
Bai Linjiang, dressed in a sharp suit, hurried into the office.
"Sorry, there was some traffic on the way. I’m late," Bai Linjiang apologized with a smile.
He introduced himself, "I’m Bai Linjiang, a lawyer sent by Lin Xuan’s guardian. I’ll be handling Lin Xuan’s case."
The principal was shocked.
Wasn’t this the lawyer who accompanied CEO Su during the equity transfer agreement signing?
Could Lin Xuan have some connection with CEO Su?
"A lawyer? How impressive. A small fight and you’ve already brought in a lawyer. Do they think we don’t have one?" Ye's Mother sneered.
"Husband, call my brother over."
Ye's Father had no choice but to call Wang Gao. If they didn’t bring their own lawyer, their son might end up at a disadvantage!
Jiang Shuqin scoffed, "Lin Xuan, this is clearly your fault, yet you’ve brought a lawyer to defend yourself! Have you forgotten all the morals and ethics your teachers taught you?"
Bai Linjiang narrowed his eyes, "And you are?"
"I’m the one who gave birth to Lin Xuan," Jiang Shuqin replied.
"We’ve legally severed our relationship," Lin Xuan added.
"I see," Bai Linjiang smiled faintly. "Since you’ve cut ties, you’re now an outsider. Principal, it’s inappropriate for outsiders to be present during mediation, don’t you think?"
Jiang Shuqin’s eyes widened in disbelief.
They were kicking her out?
The principal, not wanting to offend anyone connected to Su Hua, nodded politely, "Yes, I understand."
"Ms. Jiang, please leave," the principal said firmly.
"Fine, I’ll go! I don’t care to stay here anyway!" Jiang Shuqin glared at Lin Xuan. He truly was an ungrateful wretch. She had raised him for eight years and endured the pain of childbirth, and this was how he repaid her?
"Lin Xuan, the Lin family will no longer have anything to do with you! Let’s see how far you can go on your own!"
Jiang Shuqin slammed the door shut with a loud bang as she left.
Lin Xuan sneered. Good riddance. Dealing with the Lin family’s nonsense was exhausting.
Bai Linjiang smiled gently, "Now, let’s discuss the altercation between my client and Ye’s son. I’ve already gathered the basic details…"
Ye's Mother interrupted, "Wait, my brother hasn’t arrived yet."
"Brother?" Bai Linjiang raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, my brother is also a lawyer. His name is Wang Gao, from Junsheng Law Firm," Ye's Mother said proudly. Junsheng was the best law firm in Yundu City. She didn’t believe this lawyer could outmatch her brother!
Bai Linjiang nodded politely, "Very well, I’ll wait for him."
The principal was already preparing to enjoy the show.
Ye's Mother seemed to think her brother was some hotshot, but she clearly didn’t know Bai Linjiang’s reputation.
Wang Gao arrived shortly.
When he saw Bai Linjiang, he frowned, feeling as though he had seen him somewhere before but couldn’t recall where.
Bai Linjiang checked his watch and said, "Shall we begin? What are your demands?"
"I’ll give Lin Xuan two options: either he’s expelled, and we’ll report this to the police, or he kneels and apologizes to my son, slapping himself while admitting his wrongdoing, and publicly apologizing over the school broadcast. He must also pay 500,000 in medical compensation," Ye's Mother declared haughtily.
She was determined to get justice for her son!
Bai Linjiang smiled, "We reject your demands. We’re only willing to cover Ye’s medical expenses. My client was also injured and requires medical attention. You’ll need to compensate him as well."
"Afterward, we’ll calculate the difference in medical costs. If Ye’s expenses are higher, we’ll cover the difference. If my client’s expenses are higher, Ye will compensate us."
What a reversal of roles!
Ye's Mother’s eyes widened, "You wish!"
This resolution implied that both parties were equally at fault. Even if her son’s medical costs were slightly higher than Lin Xuan’s, it would only amount to a few hundred yuan!
That amount wouldn’t even be enough to give to a beggar!
Wang Gao stepped forward, "This lawyer, your proposal is unacceptable."
He began citing legal statutes.
Throughout Wang Gao’s speech, Bai Linjiang maintained a calm smile, not uttering a word.
Ye's Mother smirked triumphantly. Her brother was indeed impressive, leaving the opposing lawyer speechless.
Only after Wang Gao finished did Bai Linjiang leisurely respond, "Mr. Wang, regarding the three points you raised, I’ll address each one."
Wang Gao had initially felt confident about their case, but after engaging in a heated debate with Bai Linjiang, he found himself completely outmatched.
Wang Gao wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Who was this man? How was he so skilled?
After Bai Linjiang finished his rebuttal, he smiled gently, "So, the best solution is to follow my proposal. Of course, you’re free to escalate this or involve the police, but that would result in both my client and Ye being expelled, which benefits no one."
