Chapter 35: Black and White Reversed
The principal’s assistant glanced at the phone and furrowed his brow, saying, “There’s no mistake. The number registered is this one.”
“Lin Xuan, you really are an ungrateful wolf! I came here with good intentions to handle your fighting issue, and to prevent you from getting expelled, I humbled myself and pleaded on your behalf. What kind of attitude is this?” Jiang Shuqin glared, her chest heaving dramatically as she felt her kindness was being taken for granted!
What a rebellious son!
Lin Xuan coldly smirked, “Ms. Jiang, we have already severed all ties, with a lawyer notarizing it, everything written in black and white, signed and sealed. We have no more relations. My matters do not need your say-so.”
“Fine, fine, looks like your wings have grown strong! Alright, then I won’t bother anymore! Let them expel you from Shangqing University!”
“Principal, just handle it according to your school rules.” Jiang Shuqin crossed her arms, eager to see where Lin Xuan would fly off to without the Lin family’s help!
The principal frowned, realizing that Jiang Shuqin was indeed Lin Xuan’s mother, but they had severed ties.
Jiang Shuqin’s attitude towards Lin Xuan didn’t resemble that of a mother at all.
Which mother comes in first to admit fault to their own son?
In his impression, Lin Xuan was rather an exemplary student, with top-notch grades even in the talent-filled Computer Science department.
“Lin Xuan classmate, has the parent you contacted arrived?” the principal asked kindly.
“They’re already at the school.” Lin Xuan replied.
“Good, then let’s wait a few more minutes.” The principal nodded.
Jiang Shuqin’s face turned red with embarrassment; Lin Xuan had called in a parent too? Who could it be? Could it be that woman who keeps him?
Bai Linjiang, dressed in a suit, rushed into the office.
“Sorry, there was traffic, so I’m late.” Bai Linjiang apologized with a smile.
He introduced himself, “I am Bai Linjiang, a lawyer, sent by Lin Xuan’s guardian. All matters regarding Lin Xuan will be handled by me.”
The principal was shocked.
Isn’t this the person around Su Zong? That day when Su Zong came to sign the share transfer agreement, this lawyer was brought to the school!
Could Lin Xuan have any relation to Su Zong?
“Lawyer? Truly impressive, hiring a lawyer for such a trivial fight. If they have a lawyer, don’t we also need one?” Ye Mother scoffed.
“Husband, go call my younger brother.”
Ye Father had no choice but to call Wang Gao. Since the other party had a lawyer, if he didn’t hire one, his son might be at a disadvantage!
Jiang Shuqin sneered sarcastically, “Lin Xuan, this is clearly your fault, yet you bring a lawyer to defend yourself! Have all the teachings of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom gone down the drain?”
Bai Linjiang narrowed his eyes, “Who are you?”
“I am the one who gave birth to Lin Xuan.” Jiang Shuqin answered.
“We’ve legally severed our relationship.” Lin Xuan added.
“I see,” Bai Linjiang smiled faintly. “Since you’ve severed ties, you’re now an outsider. Principal, having outsiders present during mediation isn’t appropriate, is it?”
Jiang Shuqin widened her eyes.
Are they going to kick her out?
The principal naturally dared not offend someone connected to Su Hua, maintaining a polite tone, “Yes, I understand.”
“Ms. Jiang, please leave.” The principal issued the eviction notice.
“Fine, I’ll leave! I don’t even want to stay!” Jiang Shuqin stared heavily at Lin Xuan. He truly was an ungrateful wolf. She had raised him for eight years, endured the pain of childbirth for him, and this was how he treated her?
“Lin Xuan, from now on, the Lin family will have nothing to do with your affairs! I’ll see what kind of achievements you make!”
Jiang Shuqin slammed the door loudly as she left.
Lin Xuan chuckled coldly. Not caring was perfect; he was too lazy to deal with these brain-dead people from the Lin family.
Bai Linjiang smiled faintly, “Now we can discuss the matter of my young master and Ye classmate’s fight. I’ve already understood the general situation…”
Ye Mother interrupted him, “Wait, my younger brother hasn’t arrived yet.”
“Younger brother?” Bai Linjiang slightly furrowed his brows.
“Yes, my younger brother is also a lawyer. His name is Wang Gao, from Junsheng Law Firm.” Ye Mother held her chin high. Junsheng Law Firm was the best in Yundu City. She didn’t believe this lawyer could out-talk her younger brother!
Bai Linjiang responded politely, “Alright, I’ll wait for him.”
The principal was already prepared to watch the drama unfold.
This Ye Mother seemed to think her younger brother was amazing, but they probably didn’t know Bai Lawyer’s identity.
Wang Gao soon arrived.
Upon seeing Bai Linjiang, he frowned, feeling like he’d seen him somewhere before but couldn’t recall where.
Bai Linjiang looked at his watch and said, “Let’s begin. What are your demands?”
“I give Lin Xuan two choices: either expulsion or we’ll inform the police, secondly, kneeling down to apologize to my son while slapping himself and admitting his mistakes, and apologizing publicly over the broadcast, along with paying fifty thousand yuan for medical expenses to raise my son.” Ye Mother arrogantly declared.
She must reclaim justice for her son!
Bai Linjiang smiled faintly, “We disagree with your demands. We can only compensate for Ye classmate’s medical expenses. Our young master was also injured and needs examination. You must compensate for our young master’s medical expenses.”
“Afterwards, we’ll calculate the difference. If Ye classmate’s treatment costs more, we’ll pay the difference. Conversely, if our young master’s medical expenses are higher, Ye classmate will compensate us.”
What is this? Turning black into white!
Ye Mother glared, “Dream on!”
Doesn’t this outcome imply mutual assault? Even if her son’s medical expenses were more than Lin Xuan’s, it would only be a few hundred yuan!
That amount wouldn’t even suffice to feed beggars!
Wang Gao stepped forward, “Lawyer, your proposal seems inappropriate.”
Wang Gao presented legal statutes.
While Wang Gao spoke, Bai Linjiang maintained a smile, staying silent.
Ye Mother grinned smugly, her younger brother was indeed capable, watching the opposing lawyer being silenced without uttering a word.
Only after Wang Gao finished did Bai Linjiang slowly reply, “Mr. Wang, I will refute each of your three points.”
Wang Gao originally thought he had full confidence in handling this fight.
However, in the verbal sparring with Bai Linjiang, he found no chance of winning, always being suppressed by the other side.
Wang Gao wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Who exactly was this person? How could they be so skilled?
After Bai Linjiang’s rebuttal, he smiled faintly, “So, following my suggestion for reconciliation is the best way. Of course, you can choose to escalate the matter or report it to the police. In that case, both our young master and Ye classmate will be expelled, which benefits neither side.”
