In fact, given Jiang Xiaoliang's condition, there was absolutely no need for him to stay in a special care ward; a regular ward would have completely met his needs. However, members of the Jiang family insisted on putting him in a special care ward. First, the environment was better; second, they weren't paying for it themselves anyway. There was really no need to worry too much.

If they could let their son enjoy good treatment, why should they make him suffer?

In the ward, several boys and girls gathered inside. These kids were all students from LJ City No. 1 Middle School.

"Xiaoliang, are you okay?" a girl curiously asked.

"What kind of question is that?" A boy couldn't help responding, then added, "Would anyone be in the hospital if they were okay? Besides, try breaking your leg and see!"

"Why don't you just die? Can't I just show some concern?" The girl retorted irritably.

Another girl peeled a banana and fed it to Jiang Xiaoliang by hand. Sitting on the hospital bed with his back against the recliner, he enjoyed the girl's attention and laughed, "Stop fighting, how is Xiao Han now?"

"Oh, don't even mention it!" A boy quickly stood up and said, "Your parents made a scene at school, now even the principal probably can't withstand it. The reputation of Meida Group, how can the principal not weigh it carefully? Maybe even the Education Bureau couldn't withstand it, right?"

"Exactly, that Xiao Han is definitely going to be expelled!" The girl with long hair giggled.

"Damn, expelling him would be best!" Jiang Xiaoliang bit into the banana fiercely, as if venting all his resentment on the banana, and then said, "Hasn't that guy always been so arrogant? I'm going to make him drop out and see how he can apply for college, hehe…"

"Right!" Several people egged him on.

Jiang Xiaoliang's hand was set in plaster and made immobile. Though his left arm was broken, it was, after all, not his right hand, so the impact on him was not significant; he could still read and write. He could still participate in the mock exams.

"Xiaoliang, you missed the English exam this afternoon, so..." a boy next to him said awkwardly, "Will it affect your mock exam scores?"

"Didn't Xiao Han also not attend this morning's Chinese exam?" Jiang Xiaoliang said disdainfully.

"True!" The boy nodded.

...............

The next day of the mock exams, Xiao Han still participated. However, Jiang Xiaoliang did not take the mock exam.

During the morning exam, many people were staring at Xiao Han because they had received the news that he might face expulsion. Therefore, they felt that his continuing to take the mock exams was rather pointless.

After the afternoon exam ended.

Liu Jinmei rushed to find Xiao Han, her face beaming with joy.

"Xiao Han!" Liu Jinmei exclaimed happily, "Come... come with me quickly!"

After saying that, Liu Jinmei excitedly pulled Xiao Han and headed outside. Many students curiously stretched their necks, looking at their retreating figures with curious and puzzled eyes.

"That's odd." Someone asked, "What does Teacher Liu want with Xiao Han?"

"Could he really be getting expelled?" A boy with a crew cut frowned, "Is she taking him to handle the paperwork now?"

"Probably!"

"This is bad, Xiao Han is done for. Jiang Xiaoliang's family is just too much!"

"Sigh, just like that, a top student is expelled."

There were sighs all around the classroom.

Liu Jinmei pulled Xiao Han and hurried straight to the principal's office. Along the way, Xiao Han wanted to ask Liu Jinmei about the specifics several times, but seeing how hurriedly she was moving, he felt embarrassed to ask and could only follow her at a brisk pace.

They entered the principal's office.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Xiao Han would never forget the tremendous humiliation his mother suffered here the afternoon before. The pain the Jiang family had caused him, Xiao Han was determined to repay it a hundredfold.

Li Hengzhong sat in a chair, his back to the door, gazing out the window with a lonely, melancholic figure.

"Principal, Xiao Han is here," Liu Jinmei hurriedly said.

"Okay!" Li Hengzhong nodded, without turning around, he spoke indifferently, "Teacher Liu, thank you for your effort."

"It's nothing, then... I'll get going now." Liu Jinmei nodded.

Before she left, she gave Xiao Han a comforting look, then patted his shoulder and exited the principal's office.

Xiao Han stood about five meters away from Li Hengzhong. The two maintained a careful distance, and the office likewise retained a subtle atmosphere. Li Hengzhong was slow to turn around, and Xiao Han also hesitated to speak.

Eventually, Li Hengzhong was the first to break the awkward silence between them.

"Why aren't you speaking?" Li Hengzhong asked.

"I don't know what to say," Xiao Han said, head down, twisting the hem of his shirt. "I've caused you trouble."

"Yes, you've caused me trouble, a huge trouble indeed!" Li Hengzhong let out a weary sigh.

"If the school insists on expelling me, I have nothing to say!" Xiao Han lifted his head, showing a faint smile. That smile was so clean, so pure, and so moving. It was as clear as the blue sky, as clear as a mountain stream...

"Don't worry, the school won't expel you!" Li Hengzhong finally smiled.

"What?!" Xiao Han blinked in surprise, staring at Li Hengzhong and asked, "Principal, did you just say..."

"Yes, not expelling you!" Li Hengzhong nodded and said, "I've already negotiated with the members of the Jiang family. The school will take on all the responsibility, and it won't affect you at all. You just come back to school, but next year for the college entrance exam, you must achieve a score that justifies my efforts, okay?"

"Knowing the Jiang family's arrogant nature, they would never let things go so easily," Xiao Han said anxiously. "What exactly did they ask for?"

"Whatever they asked for, it doesn't concern you!" Li Hengzhong shook his head and then said, "You just need to focus on your studies. Don't be so impulsive next time, otherwise no one will help you again!"

Xiao Han took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I understand!"

When he left Li Hengzhong's office, Xiao Han still felt very low because he knew he had let down another person, that was Li Hengzhong. Without Li Hengzhong, perhaps he would really be facing expulsion. With the Jiang family's arrogant attitude, they surely wouldn't have let him off easily.

Li Hengzhong must have agreed to an unspeakable condition with the Jiang family, which is why they dropped the pursuit against him.

...............

Xiao Han didn't know what conditions the Jiang family had proposed until a week later when he finally learned the truth.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

A week later, Jiang Xiaoliang finally left the hospital, and this guy didn't lose weight during his hospital stay; instead, he gained a pound. He was served rich meals every day, and he didn't have to do anything at all, not even his revision homework, which was cancelled by Jiang's parents.

"Did you hear? Jiang Xiaoliang got a guaranteed admission to Tsinghua University!"

"What? That's impossible?" a girl exclaimed: "Why would Jiang Xiaoliang get a guaranteed admission?"

"Who knows? Maybe the members of the Jiang family gave the principal some money."

"My god, isn't that too blatant?"

Around the school, many people were discussing this matter. As Xiao Han entered the school, he had already heard about it. At first, he turned a deaf ear, thinking it was likely not true.

As soon as Xiao Han entered the classroom, Li Dapang blocked him.

"Xiao Han, Jiang Xiaoliang got a guaranteed admission to Tsinghua University!" Li Dapang looked complicatedly at Xiao Han and said, "What do you think about this?"

"Impossible!" Xiao Han strongly denied, saying, "How could Jiang Xiaoliang qualify for a guaranteed admission?"

"But it's true!" Li Dapang shrugged and said, "The school broadcasted it this morning, and also, there's a notice posted on the school's bulletin board."

"Really?!" Xiao Han's eyes widened in shock.

"Yes!" Li Dapang nodded and said, "Today isn't April Fools' Day, so the chances of it being a joke are almost impossible."

"My god!" Xiao Han collapsed into a chair.

At that moment, Xiao Han was utterly drained. Right then, he finally understood a statement the principal had made a week earlier, saying he had brought him trouble, a huge trouble.

Given Li Hengzhong's character, he would never give the Tsinghua University guaranteed admission slot to Jiang Xiaoliang. He had acquired that slot through his connections initially intended for Xiao Han. But since Xiao Han hadn't wanted it, Li Hengzhong had planned to waste the slot.

However, this time to help Xiao Han, Li Hengzhong ended up giving the guaranteed admission to Jiang Xiaoliang. Thus, letting the Jiang family step back on this matter, without even demanding compensation, and they stopped bothering Xiao Han as well.

Xiao Han clenched his teeth.

Bang!

He swung his fist and slammed it down hard on the desk. He hadn't imagined that he would cause such a huge trouble for Li Hengzhong. Li Hengzhong was known for his integrity and righteousness, and now to make him do something like this, was simply jeopardizing his reputation. It was something that went against his will, against his principles.

Forcing an upright person to violate their principles, what a painful thing must that be?

Xiao Han looked distressed and pained, his head bowed.

"Could it be..." Li Dapang hesitated as he watched Xiao Han.

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded.

"Damn, the Jiang family is too much," Li Dapang spat, saying, "Even if he got the guaranteed admission, so what? It's damn infuriating."

Li Dapang also expressed exceptional anger and dissatisfaction with the situation, as if it had happened to him personally and disturbed him greatly.
