Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Chapter 68: She Had Such An Attitude!

Although Song Ning was flustered in her heart, it did not show on her face. She only looked at her husband beside her and gestured for him to say something quickly.

Huo Jinyan’s imagination did not run wild like his wife. When his daughter first showed them the Acceptance Letter from the No.1 Middle School, it never occurred to him that Huo Yao had obtained it through unsavory methods.

After all, the No.1 Middle School was a prominent high school that ranked amongst the top five in the nation, so there was no sense for them to accept someone with poor grades. The school would have to consider its reputation even if someone wanted to pull strings to get in.

Huo Jinyan’s face turned cold as he said, “I can assure you that we did nothing of the sort and we don’t know the Principal at all. If you want to convince me to take my daughter out of school, then you better show me some evidence.”

Huo Jinyan looked at his daughter as she stood there quietly without moving at all. He glanced at the Vice-principal, Dean, and teachers, and his eyes became increasingly cold.

Then he said, “If you can’t produce any proof, then don’t blame me for telling the media about how the No.1 Middle School bullies its students!”

At the thought that his poor daughter had helplessly suffered this aggressive interrogation on her own before they arrived here, he could not help feeling upset.

The Vice-principal started to lose confidence after he saw the resolution in Huo Jinyan’s eyes.

Did they make a mistake?

When Song Ning heard the harsh words her husband uttered, she could not help coughing. Then she said, “Calm down. Maybe this is some misunderstanding?”

Would they not end up slapping their faces if their daughter truly got into the school by pulling strings?

Song Ning was unconcerned about embarrassing herself, but she did not want to hurt her daughter’s dignity.

The Dean had just exchanged a few text messages from the Principal. When he heard Song Ning’s words, he quickly smiled apologetically and said, “Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Huo, it was all a misunderstanding. I was the one who didn’t make things clear enough.”

Huo Jinyan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Dean without saying a word.

The look in Huo Jinyan’s eyes made the Dean’s heart palpitate. He said quickly, “The Principal specially invited Huo Yao to join the school. It was my fault for not making things clearer to my colleagues and causing her to get misunderstood.”

Wei Mingzhe frowned. Specially invited? Was he trying to help get the Principal off the hook again?

Since Wei Mingzhe was not ready to be held accountable, he immediately asked without waiting for the Dean to continue. “Okay, if you say the principal specially invited Huo Yao, then what about her grades?”

The Dean was slightly annoyed when Wei Mingzhe said this. He replied with a scowl on his face. “What’s wrong with her grades? Didn’t I keep telling you that she scored full marks on her admission test?”

He did not understand what this old stick in the mud was up to. When Huo Yao’s parents demanded an explanation, even the Vice-principal did not dare to utter a word. Only Wei Mingzhe obstinately went against Huo Jinyan without recognizing the effort he had made to play the peacemaker.

Wei Mingzhe glanced at Huo Yao. Then he sneered. “Sir, are you sure Huo Yao entered the school with full marks on her admission test? If she were able to score full marks, she wouldn’t have fallen asleep halfway through the preliminary test yesterday.”

After pausing briefly, Wei Mingzhe continued righteously. “She had such a poor attitude yesterday while all the other contestants were carefully doing the test.”

Wei Mingzhe was implying that Huo Yao would not have slept and treated the test so perfunctorily if she had been competent enough to answer all the questions.
