1235 Tao Jiayi

"Nice to see you, madam." Gu Ning politely greeted the rich lady.

"Miss Gu, so nice to meet you! I've heard a lot about you; you're the pride of our city now!" The rich lady was excited to see the famous and talented girl.

"Thank you so much for your compliment," Gu Ning said with a smile.

"Well, I wish my kids could be as outstanding as you," the rich lady said.

Gu Ning chatted with her for a while, then left the store.

...

Chu Peihan and the others would leave their school at 5:30 pm, but it was only 5 pm now, so Gu Ning went to wait for them outside.

However, the moment she arrived at the gate of their school, she saw her head-teacher, Zhang Qiuhua walking out in a hurry. It seemed like something terrible had happened.

Since Zhang Qiuhua was Gu Ning's head-teacher and she had taken good care of Gu Ning before, Gu Ning couldn't stand aside and do nothing. Therefore, she walked to her head-teacher at once.

"Professor Zhang, what happened? May I help you?" Gu Ning asked.

Zhang Qiuhua was struck dumb for a second when she saw Gu Ning. "Gu Ning, when did you come back?"

"I just came back yesterday, and I'll come to school tomorrow," Gu Ning said.

Because Zhang Qiuhua didn't answer her question, she asked again, "Professor Zhang, you don't look good. Do you need my help?"

Zhang Qiuhua hesitated for a while, then said, "My daughter had a fight with her schoolmate, and she was pushed to the ground. She's injured and was sent to the Central Hospital. I need to go see her right now."

Zhang Qiuhua was very worried about her daughter's condition.

"Let me drive you there," Gu Ning said.

"Thank you so much," Zhang Qiuhua said, because it was an emergency.

After that, Zhang Qiuhua got in Gu Ning's car, and Gu Ning drove fast to the Central Hospital.

Zhang Qiuhua would probably be scared of the speed normally, but now she was anxious and couldn't wait to see her daughter.

It only took Gu Ning about 10 minute to reach the Central Hospital.

Once Zhang Qiuhua got out of the car, she called her daughter's teacher, but her daughter hadn't arrived yet.

They waited for five minutes before finally seeing Zhang Qiuhua's daughter and her daughter's teacher.

Zhang Qiuhua's daughter was 14 this year, and she was in 8th grade. Because she wasn't seriously injured, her teacher didn't call an ambulance. She was just taken to the hospital in their school's car.

Zhang Qiuhua's daughter covered her forehead when she left the car, and a young female teacher supported her.

"Jiayi!" Zhang Qiuhua ran to her daughter at once, followed by Gu Ning.

"Mom!" Tao Jiayi cried the second she saw her mother.

"Mom, I feel so aggrieved now. I didn't write a love letter to Wang Shaocong, but they didn't believe me. They slapped and pushed me..."

There were palm prints left on Tao Jiayi's cheeks.

Seeing that, even Gu Ning was angry.

Gu Ning noticed that Tao Jiayi wasn't seriously injured, so she didn't treat her right away, but she wouldn't allow those bullies to get away with it.

"We must have an exam of the injuries first, and we must seek justice!" Zhang Qiuhua said in anger. She couldn't tolerate the unreasonable humiliation, and it might leave a deep mental scar in Tao Jiayi's heart if she couldn't deal with it properly.

Tao Jiayi's teacher, however, didn't think it was a good idea. "Professor Zhang, I know it isn't Tao Jiayi's fault, but I think you better give it up, because the girl's family is very powerful."

It was obvious that this teacher was a snobbish person.

"How could you say that after my daughter was injured? You're a teacher and you are supposed to protect your students!" Zhang Qiuhua was mad.

The young teacher wasn't annoyed, but sneered, "Professor Zhang, I said that out of my kindness. Since you refuse to listen to me, you need to bear the result yourself."

"Oh, really? We're determined to seek justice this time," Gu Ning said.

She understood that Zhang Qiuhua didn't have a powerful support, so she was willing to help her. She never bullied others because of her family background, but she wouldn't mind teaching those young bullies a lesson.

"Professor Zhang, don't worry. I can help you." Gu Ning comforted Zhang Qiuhua.

Zhang Qiuhua knew that Gu Ning had connections in high places, so she wasn't worried about it at all.

"Thanks," Zhang Qiuhua said and felt grateful.

Tao Jiayi's teacher, on the other hand, didn't think that Gu Ning could change the situation.
