"It seems like my niece is in trouble at school,"

"Then let's go together, it pays to have two people at times," he smiled encouragingly, she did not have the time to badger with him, so she just reversed the car and started driving at a pretty fast speed.

​​

They arrived at the school in no time but as she was about to get down from the car, he held her back.

"What?"

"Is this your niece's school?" He questioned with a look that showed he is quite reluctant to enter the school.

"Yes, do you have a problem with it, you can stay in the car if you want," she tried to leave but he held her again.

"What?" she questioned in a frustrated tone.

{What if he sees me?}

"It's nothing, I am coming with you," he released her hand then he came down with her.

As soon as they entered the school, Mr Dave quickly rushed towards her.

"Mrs Yu Yan, I am glad you came," then he noticed Han Chen standing behind her.

"This is…"

"I am her friend," Han Chen answered

"Other than guardians no other person is allowed to enter the school premises but if she is alright with you coming in with her as a co-guardian then there is no problem, this way please," he gestured towards the headmistress office.

He knocked on the door and received the permission to come in, but the headmistress was surprised seeing Yu Yan and an unknown man comes in with Mr Dave.

"Aunt…" Li Na muttered seeing her aunt enter with a frown on her face, she lowered her head in guilt then she stood up from the seat, but she noticed Han Chen.

"Miss Yu Yan, it is quite…"

"Please let's get straight to the reason why you threatened to expel my niece," she said, interjecting the headmistress who squeezed her fingers at her interjection.

"As you wish, student Li Na caused a ruckus in the canteen a week ago and I am sure the homeroom teacher has informed you of our several attempts to get you to come to the school,"

"He did, but that doesn't explain why you want to expel my niece," she maintained.

Mr Dave and Han Chen were thrilled by her manner of speaking.

She opened her drawer and brought out a laptop, she opened a video.

"This is the CCTV video of what she did in the canteen," she tapped on the play button.

They watched how she carried the big pot of soup, how she smiled sinisterly before pouring the soup down a student's head, splattering it on other student and the whole canteen turned into an uproar.

Han Chen chuckled after the video ended then he looked up at Li Na.

"The apple does not fall far from the tree," he was quite fascinated seeing what she did, but he soon stopped when Yu Yan glared at him.

"Do you find it funny?" she questioned in a straight face.

"No," he lowered his head and straightened his face.

"This is the evidence of her outrageous act, she has violated the school code so she needs to be expelled," the headmistress remarked confidently, assuming that Yu Yan will have to plead with her now.

"It seems like you expel every student who violates your school code but why is the beginning of the video missing?" she queried.

"What do you mean?"

"Cause and effect, for every event, there is always a reason behind it unless you are saying my niece has a psychological condition that made her so something like that without nay reason," Yu Yan answered.

"Miss Yu Yan, the issue here is that your niece caused such an uproar in the canteen, you should be pleading not…"

"Plead…why should I plead if my niece has done nothing wrong, as long as you show me the complete video and it is confirmed that my niece is in the wrong, I will get on knees and plead with you,"

"Yu Yan…" Han Chen cautioned but she looked at him with reassurance.

"The complete video, please,"

The headmistress could not believe the turn of event, she scoffed and looked away.

Han Chen and the homeroom teacher fixed their eyes on her with admiration in their eyes, Li Na raised her head confidently, she had always adored her aunt but seeing her in action now, she admiration for her increased.

Tension filled the office.

"Miss Yu Yan, do you realize what the consequences would be if she is expelled," the headmistress questioned, not knowing what else to say.

"Of course, I do, but I suppose you don't know what the consequences of your inability to produce the complete the video of that footage would be if you expel my niece," she responded casually like she was not making a threat.

The headmistress placed her hand on her chest and looked away in disbelief and speechlessness, it seemed to her that no matter how hard she tries, she just will not be able to win over this lady.

"I suppose this conversation is over then since you cannot provide the complete footage and I trust that my niece is still a dignified student of LIS without any blemish in her school record as of now," she picked up her bag from the floor then she stood up and smiled.

"Li Na, come out," she ordered as though she is in complete control, Li Na beamed with admiration for her aunt once again, she nodded her head and followed her out of the office leaving Han Chen behind.

"Well…how is he?" Han Chen asked

"excuse me…" the headmistress who was still flabbergasted responded in confusion.

"You can't recognise me?" he questioned in surprise, the headmistress removed her glasses then she put them back on.

"I don't, if you have no other business please see yourself out," she gestured towards the door with Mr Dave still in the office to receive the brunt of her embarrassment.

He stood up and left the office, he did not know if he should be happy or concerned that she cannot remember him.

{It seems like I am really a bad brother,} he sighed.

Meanwhile, outside the office, Yu Yan gave Li Na a high five, the scene he saw as soon as he left the office, he just stood afar to watch them.

"You are really my niece, you didn't disappoint me," she ruffled her hair with a proud look on her face.

"Are you really not mad at me?" Li Na questioned in half-doubt.

"Although you shouldn't have done such at school, I still applaud you for dealing with such bullies head-on, I would have been really embarrassed if you were bullied.". Before, Han Chen arrived, Li Na had already explained what happened in the canteen before the uproar.

"I just knew you are still a cool aunt,"

THAP!!!

He clapped his hands as he approached them, it seemed to him that she is proud of her niece for what she did.

"You are still here?"

"If not, where should I be? But I must say, you two are really one of a kind,"

"You look really familiar…are you Chen Kai?" Li Na questioned with her hand on her jaw, she could swear she has seen him somewhere before.

"Guess…" Han Chen responded

"He is not Chen Kai, you are acting like you haven't seen Chen Kai before,"

"How am I supposed to remember that ghost boyfriend of yours, but this uncle is really handsome," she moved closer to Han Chen.

"I see you have a good eye," he winked at her, Li Na giggled at his charming wink while Yu Yan opened her mouth in disbelief that he is trying to flirt with a high school student.

"I remember! You are that handsome guy who dropped her off," she exclaimed, pointing her index finger at him.

"Enough, you should return to class," she quickly pulled Han Chen away before she makes a scene.

"Wait, aunt!"

"Why are you…?" Han Chen tried to resist.

"Keep quiet,"

"Handsome brother, I will see you again!" she screamed, waving at him while he waved back at her, then she turned back to return to her class, but she found her classmates listening in on them in the hallway.

"Li Na," Min Young called as she came out of her hiding spot while the other students pretended like they were not there all along.

"Who is he?" she asked.

"Him, he is my future boyfriend," she declared with her arms crossed but Li Jing appeared out of nowhere and flicked her forehead.

"Li Jing!" she retorted.

"Spouting nonsense," He scolded.

"None of your business, tch!" she held Min Young's hand and walked away, pouting her lips but Li Jing nodded his head in helplessness and walked behind them.

After they were gone, Lucy and her girls gathered.

"Her aunt is really stunning," one of the girls remarked with her face filled with admiration but Lucy glared at her and folded her arms.

"I think that was her boyfriend earlier, he is really handsome, a perfect fit," another girl remarked with her fingers interlinked, absolutely rooting for both.
