The principal's face darkened at the Wu family's arrogance. Ever since he became principal, everyone had shown him utmost respect, giving him at least some consideration. This was the first time anyone had dared to yell at him like this.
"Dad, she's the one who bullied me! She's clearly being kept by someone and accepting expensive gifts, and the principal is covering for her, bullying me together," Wu Xiao Gui cried even harder.
Jiang Mian Mian didn't even lift her head. These people weren't worthy of her attention.
The principal stood up and said, "Since the parents are here, let's have the parents talk amongst themselves. We'll resolve this when Jiang Mian Mian's parents arrive."
"Wait for what? Do you know how precious my time is? This little brat bullied my daughter? She really has the nerve of a bear! Come over here and kneel down to apologize to my daughter, or no one else matters."
The principal and the teachers were both astonished. They had never encountered such an unreasonable parent!
Wu Xiao Gui's brother, with a fierce and menacing look, strode towards Jiang Mian Mian, appearing ready to fight. The principal immediately stepped in front of Jiang Mian Mian, and a teacher quickly shielded the principal. "Wu Xiao Gui's parents, you can't do this. We need to be reasonable. You can't resort to violence. If you continue like this, the school will call the police!"
"Call the police for what? My family has connections at the police station. Anyone who dares to call the police, let's see who ends up in jail!" Wu Xiao Gui's brother became even more defiant.
The principal's heart ached, bordering on a heart attack. He watched as Wu Xiao Gui's brother shoved Teacher Zhao. Teacher Zhao, wearing high heels, almost fell from the push and twisted her ankle.
Wu Xiao Gui, her father, and even her several followers watched with expressions of amusement, mirroring each other.
Mian Mian's face turned cold with anger. She had never seen such shameless people. Qian Xiao Guo quickly went to help Teacher Zhao. Just as Wu Xiao Gui's brother was about to attack the principal and Mian Mian, countless bodyguards in black rushed into the office. The leader grabbed Wu Xiao Gui's brother by the collar and proceeded to beat him severely.
Wu Xiao Gui's brother wailed in pain. Mian Mian saw her father and Uncle Gu arrive. The bodyguards were naturally rough with the Wu family and the group of female students, shoving them aside to clear a path.
"Dad, Uncle Gu, you're finally here. If you hadn't come, I would have been beaten!" Jiang Mian Mian happily ran to the two men and tearfully recounted her ordeal.
Jiang Jing Xiu grabbed his daughter, anxiously checking her for injuries. "Where are you hurt? Your Uncle Jin will be here soon; he's with a patient and can't leave, but he'll come over after he's done."
"Dad, I'm not hurt. No need to trouble Uncle Jin." Jiang Mian Mian felt a little embarrassed. She looked at Gu Yun Ting. "Uncle Gu, thank you for coming all this way when you're so busy."
Gu Yun Ting reached out and ruffled her hair, saying coldly, "My daughter is being bullied. Even if the sky were falling, I'd have to come and see who dares to bully my daughter."
The principal also hurried over to greet them. The bodyguards had beaten Wu Xiao Gui's brother so badly that his own mother wouldn't recognize him. Qian Xiao Guo and the teachers had never witnessed such a scene and all huddled in a corner, too afraid to speak.
Wu Xiao Gui was scared stiff, her face full of disbelief. She turned to look at her father, whose expression was grim. He suddenly trembled and asked, "May I ask, are you Mr. Gu Yun Ting, the CEO of Gu Corporation?"
