Tian Yi hurriedly entered, “Old Master An, there are a few people outside who say they want to see Miss Nan!”
“Who are they?”
Both Old Master An and Old Master Lu stood up.
Nan Yan remained composed compared to the slight change in the elderly gentlemen’s expressions. She even picked up a glass of warm milk and took a big sip.
“They didn’t reveal their identities, but it should be related to the issue with the principal of Zhide School.”
Tian Yi had also been following the principal’s situation, so he easily guessed.
Old Master An spoke solemnly, “Yanyan, have your meal first. Your Grandpa and I will go out to meet them.”
Old Master Lu added, “Yanyan, listen to your Grandfather. Let us handle this matter.”
Nan Yan calmly finished her glass of milk, placed it down, and raised her chin slightly as she looked at the two elderly gentlemen. “No need. I want to meet them.”
“They may not necessarily be here to cause trouble for me.”
Although the probability of them causing trouble was likely over eighty percent.
However, the situation had already escalated, and the capitalists were unlikely to save the principal. If they were smart, they should be trying to lower the heat right now and avoid making the situation worse.
It was also possible that these people didn’t know how formidable she was and were attempting to use pressure to force her into doing something, which was even more likely.
Nan Yan finished speaking and walked towards the door.
Old Master An and Old Master Lu exchanged a glance and, still not entirely at ease, followed her.
In the living room, five or six people with a somewhat distinguished appearance were sitting on the couch, glancing towards the door from time to time.
When they saw Nan Yan come out, all of them stood up.
“You must be Miss Nan Yan, right? We apologize for the intrusion. We hope you can forgive us. We truly have no other choice but to come and beg you!”
As Nan Yan approached, she realized that these people, though well-dressed, had weary expressions on their faces, with bloodshot eyes.
Nan Yan was somewhat surprised about the reason for their visit. She hadn’t targeted these individuals in her actions regarding the principal. It wasn’t that she wanted to let them off, but she didn’t want to escalate the situation openly and intended to deal with them behind the scenes.
If this matter becomes too big, it will have an irreparable impact on Zhide High School.
This was not the outcome she wanted.
Suppressing her curiosity, Nan Yan calmly asked, “What are you requesting from me?”
A man implored, “Please, we beg you to tell Mr. Qin not to go to extremes with us. We are willing to compensate, willing to do anything. We just hope that he can spare our lives!”
Nan Yan raised an eyebrow, “Mr. Qin?”
Upon hearing these three words, a name immediately came to her mind: Qin Lu.
So, after she took action and dealt with the principal, he swept in and uprooted this group of people?
The speed and efficiency seemed to match his style indeed.
“Yes… It’s Mr. Qin from the Qin family in the capital. We heard about you when his subordinates mentioned your name while reporting. That’s why we came here to seek your help.”
“We beg you to make Mr. Qin stop. We are willing to pay any price!”
Several people surrounded Nan Yan, pleading earnestly.
Beside them, Old Master An and Old Master Lu relaxed their posture upon realizing that these individuals were not here to cause trouble.
Then, Old Master Lu couldn’t help but ask Old Master An, “Is this Mr. Qin very close to Yanyan?”
He wasn’t very clear about Nan Yan’s situation and didn’t know about her relationship with Qin Lu.
“Of course, they are very close. He’s my future grandson-in-law and your future grandson-in -law too!”
Old Master An had a smile on his face when he talked.
Old Master Lu’s expression improved slightly, but he still had a serious tone. “Although he’s willing to wait until Yanyan finishes high school before officially establishing their relationship, young people are often emotionally impulsive. You should explain to Yanyan that she shouldn’t be easily swayed by sweet words.”
Old Master An agreed, but he couldn’t help but think that it might not be so easy for Qin Lu to listen to him. He did believe in Qin Lu’s self-control, though.
His future granddaughter was as beautiful as a fairy, incredibly charming, and the type that’s both pure and alluring, according to the current internet slang. With her appearance, she could be very tempting to men.
Thinking about it, he started to worry a bit.
Over there, Nan Yan’s brow furrowed as they annoyed her, and she spoke icily, “You’re wasting your time with me. I can’t be of any help.”
“Miss Nan, please don’t say that. We’ve found out that you have a good relationship with Mr. Qin. If you’re willing to intercede for us, we will definitely appreciate it!”
Nan Yan had no patience left for them. Right in front of them, she dialed Qin Lu’s number.
After a brief conversation, she summarized the situation on this side and asked, “Brother, how do you want to handle them?”
Several men stared at Nan Yan’s phone eagerly, their pleas clearly visible in their eyes.
“Using power for personal gain, bullying others, people like this should receive the punishment they deserve. What about it, does Yanyan think that what her brother is doing is wrong?”
Nan Yan put her phone on speaker so that everyone could hear.
Listening to Qin Lu’s tone, if Nan Yan was willing to intercede for them, they still had a chance.
Nan Yan casually raised an eyebrow and glanced at the men. She spoke clearly, word by word, “Of course, what my brother is doing is right, and that’s my opinion too.”
The faces of the several men suddenly changed dramatically. However, because Nan Yan was on the phone with Qin Lu, even if they felt resentful, they didn’t dare to do anything to Nan Yan.
Qin Lu chuckled softly and extended an invitation, “If you’re free tonight, brother will take you out for some delicious food?”
“Sure.”
Nan Yan agreed and then hung up the phone.
She then looked at them with a cold gaze and said, “Did you all hear that? Is there anything else you want to say?”
“You… Well, since Miss Nan won’t help, we won’t say anything more. Let’s just pretend we never came today.”
The several men had expressions as if they had just eaten flies, and they walked away with a huff.
Before leaving, they couldn’t help but cast a sinister glance at Nan Yan, as if conveying some threat with their eyes.
Once they were gone, Old Master An came over with a hint of concern and asked, “Yanyan, by acting like this, will you offend them?”
Nan Yan laughed lightly, indifferent, “If I offended them, so be it..”
