Chapter 595: Let Gu Mang and Su Jiaying Reconcile
Princ.i.p.al Ren sat in Red Scorpion’s reception room. Initially, he had to leave at the end of the military conference, but because such an incident occurred, he could not leave until now.
He hung up the call from Red Scorpion’s office. He waited for about 10 minutes.
Bai Yufang entered. “Princ.i.p.al Ren.”
Upon hearing his name called, Princ.i.p.al Ren stood up and slanted his body slightly to nod at Bai Yufang. Then, he gestured for the man to come in. “Bai, have a seat.”
Bai Yufang did not go through many formalities. He went ahead and sat across from Princ.i.p.al Ren.
When he sat, he went straight to the point. “Princ.i.p.al Ren, you should know my purpose for coming here. Let’s not beat around the bush.”
Princ.i.p.al Ren sat down too and poured Bai Yufang a cup of tea. “Since you say so, then I shall not have to worry about being cautious with my words.”
Bai Yufang rested his arm on the sofa. “It is Jiaying’s fault for changing the script but other than that, nothing went wrong with the military conference, right?”
Princ.i.p.al Ren nodded. “Indeed, nothing went wrong.”
Bai Yufang picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip. “Since it is so, we shall let Jiaying apologize to Gu Mang and that shall be it. It’s a win-win situation.”
He sounded rather confident and arrogant.
Self-withdrawal was no different from being expelled. But the former gave the student some face while the latter would be announced at the university meetings. The Su family would not sit back and watch Su Jiaying get kicked out of Capital University. Bai Yufang would never allow himself to have a granddaughter who was expelled from Capital University.
When Princ.i.p.al Ren heard his casual statement, his smile became faint. “Mr. Bai, nothing went wrong because Gu Mang recalled the entire script. If she hadn’t, it would have been a great humiliation to the entire nation, Gu Mang, and Capital University.”
Bai Yufang paused in the middle of drinking tea when he heard this. He lifted his loose eyelids and smiled slightly.
“You said it yourself. ‘If’. It didn’t happen,” He said in a calm tone. “Just take it as you are giving me some face.”
Bai Yufang had high status. No matter what he said, he always sounded confident and arrogant.
Princ.i.p.al Ren sighed. “The fact that I didn’t just send a notice immediately to expel Su Jiaying was already on account of our friends.h.i.+p.”
Bai Yufang’s sharp eyes darkened and there was an explicable laughter in his tone. “Just because of that Gu Mang?”
Princ.i.p.al Ren wasn’t surprised to hear Bai Yufang name Gu Mang. Back then, the medical organization had set their hearts on going to Ming City High School to recruit students and yet they had been rejected. They really hated Gu Mang’s guts.
So, it was normal that Gu Mang’s name was widely known around the medical organization.
“Doesn’t know to appreciate kindness” was a description that the people from the medical organization used to describe her.
He was silent for a few seconds. Then he said, “Almost everyone in Year 1 knows of Su Jiaying changing the script. Even if she stays in Capital University, she is bound to be ostracized by the other students. She has such a strong sense of pride. How will she handle that?”
When Bai Yufang heard this, the cold glow in his eyes faded a little. He smiled. “Don’t worry about that. As long as Gu Mang reconciles with Jiaying, who would dare to ostracize Jiaying if Gu Mang, the person directly involved, has let it go?”
Princ.i.p.al Ren did not respond.
“Of course, as compensation, I can accept Gu Mang as my external student,” Bai Yufang continued. “To offend the Bai family or to become my external student. I think anyone with a brain would know which is the best option.”
Gu Yin, who was enrolled in the medical organization, only got her chance to be Kang Qi’s disciple because she knew the Second Miss of the President’s House.
Lu Xiwei of the Lu family had also been Yu Zhongjing’s student back then. For some reason, she was later kicked out by Yu Zhongjing.
Gu Mang had no background at all. She should be thankful to Jiaying for causing this script-changing incident. Otherwise, he would never have made the decision to accept her as an external disciple. Without his patronage she would never get to make a name in the capital.
