Ye Ming's slap directly stunned Madam Li.
Her hand covered her swollen left cheek, the burning sting making her furious.
"You... you dare to hit me!"
Madam Li trembled with rage, her eyes clouded with malice.
"If you don't take back what you just said, this slap won't be the end of it!" Ye Ming looked at her coldly, his gaze like that of a superior, sending shivers down one's spine.
"I'll make you disappear!"
Seeing Ye Ming's imposing demeanor, Fang Junxue's lips curved into a beautiful arc.
Although this matter didn't require Ye Ming's intervention, she could have handled it perfectly.
But the feeling of being protected behind someone, no woman could refuse.
"Make me disappear! Fine! Fine!"
Madam Li stared fiercely at Ye Ming and said, "I'd like to see how capable you are!"
With that, she picked up her phone, ready to call for backup.
But at that moment, Liu Shian spoke up, reminding Madam Li, "Madam Li, before you make that call, I believe I should first introduce this young lady's identity!"
After all, this was a school. As the principal, Liu Shian didn't want the situation to escalate.
"Identity?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Li suddenly had a bad premonition.
She had initially seen Fang Junxue wearing a simple long dress and hadn't paid much attention. But now that Liu Shian mentioned it, it was clear that the other party's background was not simple.
"I presume Madam Li has heard of the name Fang Junxue!" Liu Shian stated directly.
Fang Junxue!
The moment she heard these three words, Madam Li froze. She involuntarily took two steps back, her face filled with disbelief. "The... Qianxue Group..."
"That's right!"
Liu Shian was not surprised by Madam Li's reaction.
"Miss Fang is a very understanding person. If Madam sincerely apologizes for what you said earlier, I believe she won't make things difficult for you," Liu Shian mediated as a peacemaker.
"I..."
After learning Fang Junxue's identity, Madam Li realized how ridiculous her previous words had been.
"Fang..."
Ring ring!
Just as Madam Li was about to apologize, her phone suddenly rang.
Caller ID: Husband.
"Hello... hello! Hub... Husband!"
Madam Li answered the phone, her voice trembling.
"Mmm! What's wrong! Didn't I ask you to handle your son's enrollment? What's going on?"
A deep male voice came from the other end of the line.
"Husband! I... I've gotten into trouble."
Madam Li's voice became hoarse, with a hint of tears.
"Trouble! What trouble can you get into in Minghai!" the man on the other end scoffed.
Then, Madam Li recounted what had happened.
"You're saying you provoked Fang Junxue?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was clearly surprised, but he didn't seem panicked by it.
"Yes! That's right!" Madam Li quickly said, "Hus... Husband, don't worry, I'll apologize properly. I won't cause trouble for the company!"
She was afraid that her actions would affect her husband's company.
"Apologize! What apology!"
Upon hearing this, the voice on the other end of the phone was clearly displeased. "Wait for me, we'll talk when I get there!"
With that, the call ended.
"Hello! Hu..."
Madam Li was greatly surprised by her husband's reaction.
He wasn't letting her apologize!
She was the chairwoman of Qianxue Group! Their Mu Huo Building Materials Company couldn't afford to offend her.
"Interesting!"
With Ye Ming's hearing, he had heard the entire conversation clearly.
Fang Junxue, who had now entered the Perception Realm, had also heard it.
"It seems your husband is quite confident?" Ye Ming chuckled with interest.
"I..."
Madam Li was also at a loss now.
She didn't know why her husband was so... arrogant!
But for now, she could only wait.
Liu Shian sighed when he saw this.
He hadn't expected such a small incident to escalate into a storm.
Now, all he could hope was that things wouldn't get any bigger.
Ten minutes later.
A middle-aged man in his early forties, dressed relatively well, walked in.
He first scanned the crowd, and finally his gaze landed on Fang Junxue.
His eyes clearly showed admiration and greed.
"You must be the rumored business queen, Fang Junxue!" Li Mingyu appraised Fang Junxue from head to toe, nodding with satisfaction. "You are even more beautiful in person than in photos!"
The man's impudent gaze almost triggered Fang Junxue's misandry again.
At this moment, Ye Ming stepped in front of Fang Junxue and said indifferently, "If you can't control your eyes, I can help you dig them out!"
"Oh!"
Li Mingyu casually glanced at Ye Ming and sneered, "A rather good gigolo!"
Because Ye Ming had never used his true appearance when he was out, no one recognized him so far.
At this time, Liu Shian intervened to mediate, "Mr. Li, you must know the situation..."
"Stop!"
Before he could finish, Li Mingyu interrupted, "I know the situation very well! Isn't it just that she, Fang Junxue, used her authority to snatch my son's enrollment spot?"
"That's not what happened! Miss Fang..."
Liu Shian tried to explain, but Li Mingyu didn't give him a chance.
"I know you're afraid of Fang Junxue's retaliation, Principal Liu, that's why you said that!" Li Mingyu smiled. "I understand!"
"No! I didn't..."
"You don't need to say anything, Principal Liu. Since I'm here, I won't let certain people arbitrarily use their power to exert pressure and destroy fairness!" Li Mingyu said to Fang Junxue with a cold smile. "Not only that, I will make those people pay the price they deserve!"
As for what that price would be, that was up to him.
Li Mingyu's words completely reversed the original facts, portraying Fang Junxue as the one who abused her power.
Clap clap clap!
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!" Ye Ming applauded. "That's right! We used our power to snatch your son's spot! So..."
"How do you plan to punish us?"
So arrogant!
Since things had come to this, Ye Ming decided to go along with Li Mingyu's words.
He wanted to see what Li Mingyu was relying on.
"Hmm?"
Ye Ming's move also surprised Li Mingyu.
But it was harmless.
"Good! I've never seen anyone so arrogant!"
Li Mingyu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and with a gloomy expression, he said, "In Minghai City, perhaps Qianxue Group has some influence. But in the eyes of some people, it's just so-so?"
"Oh! You mean..."
Ye Ming felt things were getting more and more interesting.
Li Mingyu sneered and said:
"For example: The Zhong family of the provincial capital!"
