Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 268: The Truth

Li Hongsheng snorted, raising his chin, "If she wants to leave, then let her leave. Is Lancheng High School inferior to Beijing No.1 High School?"

Deng Yongbing gave him a look, his lips pressed tight as he spoke, "Not inferior."

Not inferior indeed.

With a god-like Class 7, it truly wasn’t inferior to Beijing No.1 High School.

"Ah, only Class 7 can compete with Beijing No.1 High School. In reality, the other classes can’t surpass other prestigious schools," Li Hongsheng sighed.

Disparaging words aside, he still had self-awareness. If Yun Yue could lend a hand to Lancheng High School, it wasn’t out of the realm of possibility.

But with only a month left until the college entrance exam, let alone whether she would agree, even if she did, it would be too late.

Class 7 had improved to their current scores because Yun Yue had tutored them during last year’s winter vacation. At this stage, they were reviewing, and in just one short month, how much more could they improve?

"However, having a Class 7 like this, I’m already very content."

With a class like this, Lancheng High School could already become famous nationwide.

The students from Class 7 who were eavesdropping outside silently returned to their classroom.

Gu Yue was doing practice problems, raised an eyebrow at them, and then silently bent his head down to continue.

Yun Yue was laying her head on the desk, sleeping. They carefully moved quietly, then dug out test papers from inside their desks—these were the enhancement exercises Sister Yue had set for them.

While Shen Jiping was enjoying his meal, suddenly a call from He Qian came, and he was stunned.

He glanced towards Professor He Lv, who was holding his phone and walking outside. Shen Jiping’s heart skipped a beat.

He picked up his phone and followed him out, only to discover that he had disappeared. His phone was still vibrating, and he frowned as he answered the call.

"Mr. Shen, is this how you handle things?" He Qian was furious, his tone extremely harsh.

Shen Jiping’s heart skipped again, and he immediately responded in a low voice, "What happened?"

What had he done to upset this man?

Was it that he thought the show wasn’t grand enough?

"What happened? I went to Lancheng High School and came back utterly humiliated. There wasn’t even anyone there to receive me. How did you assure me in the beginning?" He Qian was furious, no longer caring about his own status. Although the Shen Family’s future development looked promising, he himself was not inferior.

Shen Jiping furrowed his brows, not understanding what he was talking about. How had he ended up feeling completely humiliated?

Apart from the elusive principal, all other leaders of the school were present, even several high-level leaders from Lan City had come. What more could he be dissatisfied with?

"Anyway, that’s it. I’ll refund your money. Goodbye!" Without any regards for courtesy, He Qian hung up the phone, furious at this treatment!

Hearing the sound of the phone hanging up, Shen Jiping was completely confused. He glanced over and saw Professor He appearing in his field of vision, and immediately approached him.

"Professor He, this... this was my fault. We can discuss the money, and you had agreed properly before. You can’t just go back on your word like this," Shen Jiping didn’t know what had happened, but he couldn’t just leave like that.

If he just walked away, where would he put his face? With so many leaders watching, how would he ever get by in Lan City? He definitely wouldn’t let him go, no matter what.

Professor He frowned, somewhat puzzled, "I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

"?," Shen Jiping widened his eyes. Was he being scammed out of his money, plain and simple?

But something about the voice wasn’t quite right. However, he couldn’t dwell on it any longer, as he was too furious.

He couldn’t believe that a teacher would be so crooked, taking money without doing the work?

"Don’t play dumb with me. The amount of money I gave you is enough to cover half of your lifetime’s salary. Or do you think it’s too little? Tell me, how much more do you want to stay?" Contempt was already apparent in Shen Jiping’s eyes.

Even as a professor from Jing University, he still couldn’t withstand the barrier of money.

Professor He Lv’s face immediately darkened. "Who are you? This is absurd!"

What money?

Is this person an idiot?

The vice principal had just received a call from Li Hongsheng, who said there had been a mistake, that He Qian was the one Shen Jiping had invited. Then who had invited this Professor He Lv?

He was utterly confused when he saw Professor He Lv, who looked rather upset, walking in.

"Professor He."

"I’m not eating, let’s just leave it at that for today." He spoke icily, having been bizarrely slandered, an experience he had never suffered before in his life. He then picked up his coat and walked out, coincidentally bumping into Shen Jiping. Both of their expressions were rather unpleasant.

"This... Professor He..."

The vice principal wanted to speak up and ask him to stay, confused about how things had gone wrong after just a phone call.

"By the way, I won’t comment on the people at this table for now, but who is this important official in front of me?" Professor He Lv’s demeanor, usually approachable, took on a touch of assertiveness.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Shen Jiping. Wasn’t he supposed to have invited him? How could it be that he didn’t even know who he was?

Only the vice principal knew what was going on. Did Shen Jiping offend him when he stepped out just now?

Other than him and Director Li, no one else knew he was from the He Family of Beijing. Did Shen Jiping think he was just an ordinary professor?

Bai Hui and Shen Xuan, clueless, looked at Shen Jiping’s grim expression and at Professor He Lv’s question, suddenly feeling anxious for reasons they couldn’t fathom.

"He is the owner of a business in Lan City. Aren’t you the one he invited?" The vice principal asked, restraining his expression.

Professor He Lv chuckled, "Does he have that much clout?"

He didn’t even know who this man was, who had come up speaking nonsensically about money, insulting his professional ethics. Even the calmest temper would wear thin.

The vice principal laughed awkwardly. He had found it strange earlier, and now with this question, it was clear that neither the Shen Family nor Shen Xuan nor Shen Jinhao had the clout to invite him.

It was clear to everyone there, how could anyone still not understand?

What he meant was that his coming to Lancheng High School to lecture had absolutely nothing to do with the Shen Family.

"Then you are..."

"I came here at someone’s request." Professor He Lv glanced at Shen Jiping. He had seen many shameless people, but he hadn’t expected someone to be this brazen, attributing such actions to himself.

The vice principal’s heart skipped a beat. Aside from the principal of Lancheng High School, who else could have invited him?

"But we had agreed over the phone, your surname is He..." Bai Hui felt the odd stares around and hurriedly spoke.

She didn’t understand why he would suddenly disown everyone.

The vice principal subtly glanced at him and then spoke, "Director Li just returned to the school. He said that a math teacher from Beijing No.1 High School named He Qian, invited by Mr. Shen, has arrived at the school. Perhaps there was a mix-up."

Shen Xuan’s body wobbled, her face turning somewhat pale.

How could this be, how could there be two people with the surname He!

Who was He Qian? She had never heard of him before, her nails digging into her flesh. Did everyone in the school know now?

At this moment, Shen Jiping’s mind went blank, as if struck by thunder. Two people with the surname He, one He Lv and one He Qian.

He had invited He Qian, not the He Lv in front of him. From beginning to end, he had never said he knew him... At this moment, he wished he could just faint.
