An indefinite suspension from school was a very severe punishment second to expulsion.
A student who had been suspended indefinitely would require the approval of many people if he or she were to return to school. Furthermore, they could only wait until the next year to rejoin school with the next batch of students. The student would effectively be forced to repeat a year.
The third madam almost fainted when she heard this.
The child that she worked so hard to raise was going to have a stain on her record.
“We withdraw, withdraw our investment!” The third madam shouted like a shrew, completely unlike her usual dignified and elegant self.
“You don’t have the final say in the Qiao’s investment in Harvey Academy, third aunt.” Qiao Yue sneered, “The Qiao family is now controlled by Qiao Jing. If he doesn’t announce the withdrawal of investment, none of you have the right to do so.”
Qiao Yue looked at the principal and said, “Principal, if you punish them according to the school rules, the Qiao family will not withdraw their investment and the KA Group will also invest.”
“KA Group, who are you?” Tao Xi asked through gritted teeth.
The parents in the audience were also very surprised.
KA was currently the most famous multinational company. It owned many businesses and its assets were probably more than all of their assets combined.
Could such a business belong to the boy in front of them?
Qiao Yue ignored the parents’ speculations and stared at the principal. “We’re waiting for you to decide on the punishment for the students who bully others.”
In the end, the principal gave Qiao Xin and the Li brothers indefinite suspensions from school and formal demerits as punishment.
In the afternoon when Qiao Yue returned to her classroom, the PA system in school announced Qiao Xin’s punishment.
Hong Ning looked at Qiao Yue with tear-stained face. Although she was smiling, her face was still streaked with tears.
Qiao Yue walked over and wiped away Hong Ning’s tears. “Alright, I’ve taken care of everything for you. You can attend school in peace from now on and not worry about those people bullying you again.”
Hong Ning nodded gratefully.
Qiao Yu raised his head and looked at Qiao Yue with a complicated expression.
Meanwhile, the Qiao residence was in an uproar.
When Tao Xi got home at noon, she asked Qiao Ren and Qiao Li to come out.
The third madam had already fainted from anger, and Qiao Xin was crying so hard that she couldn’t speak.
Tao Xi looked at Qiao Ren and Qiao Li with a long face and said, “This Qiao Yue has really gone too far. I didn’t expect him to pick on his own sister like this.”
Qiao Ren looked at Tao Xi coldly as usual.
The husband and wife weren’t on good terms, and Qiao Ren didn’t like to be involved in these things. “Stop it. After all, Qiao Xin was in the wrong first. What does it have to do with Qiao Yue?”
“Big brother, what do you mean by that? Now that the old master is sick, you, as the eldest brother of the family, is the pillar of this family. If you don’t help me, I don’t know what to do with Qiao Xin.”
Qiao Li more or less knew what happened. “You watched Qiao Xin grow up too, and she’s put in a lot of effort to get into Harvey. You can’t just see her future ruined like this!”
Having a formal demerit recorded on her Harvey file was a severe punishment. It would probably affect her future work and life.
“Then you guys can go and argue with Harvey. I’m not the school principal, what can I do?”
Qiao Ren was annoyed by the three women’s crying. He waved his hand and went upstairs.
Tao Xi looked at her husband with clenched teeth. Qiao Ren had always treated the things she cared about with such indifference, as if she wasn’t his wife.
Qiao Ren returned to his study and stared at the photo on his desk in silence for a long time.
“As expected, no one can be like you.” He sighed deeply. “But I will do my best to protect your child. I won’t let the others hurt him.”
The woman in the photo had a bright smile, like a sunflower.
All the women who had been with Qiao Ren over the years looked like this woman, but none of them were really like her.
Tears welled up in Qiao Ren’s eyes. “It’s been so many years. I didn’t expect your child to experience what you’ve experienced. I’ll help him this time. Don’t worry.”
Qiao Ren caressed the face of the person in the photo and held the photo in his arms. His eyes were filled with love and gentleness that she had never seen before.
Tao Xi, who was standing at the door, clenched her fists as she watched everything that happened in the room.
It had been so many years, yet someone was still wandering around the house like a ghost. This feeling sickened her.
