Chapter 3 Troublesome Niece
Chapter 3 Troublesome Niece
Half an hour after Vana hung up the phone, she arrived at the ZH High School where Lola Li was held.
She sighed, knowing fully well that her salary would pay the price for being late for work. Vana's fingers
trailed down her dress, noticing how it was loose around her frame. It was already too late to change.
Moreover, she had more important things to deal with, so she needed to get this over with.
According to the information Lola Li had given her, the administration office was located at the Junior
High School Department. The school looked incredibly cozy, reminding her of the time she and Billy
went to school.
In the past, Vana and Billy were known as the most perfect couple. The two of them, whether in terms
of family background or talent, were worthy of everyone's blessings.
Vana shook her head and pushed the door into the office.
The cool air came from the office. She relaxed instantly.
There were around ten teachers working inside the office. As she walked in, all of them turned to look
at her.
"Lola, you're here." Vana walked into the room and closed the door behind her. She could feel
everyone's gazes on her as she subconsciously pulled the hemline of her dress.
"Why are you so late?" Lola Li jumped up from her seat.
Vana remembered that Lola Li admitted to beating up somebody, so she wanted to apologize to him
first.
Everyone was surprised at her penetrating gaze. The teachers pretended to return back to their work,
averting their gazes from her.
She turned to the innermost reception area of the office. There were two people sitting on the sofa.
Across from them, there were two teachers standing in front of them. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Upon looking closer, she saw that a little boy's face was covered with bruises. Although he looked
completely beaten up, he proudly tilted his chin upwards, ignoring the other people in the room.
The man beside him looked dignified and serious.
He looked incredibly intimidating.
He was wearing a simple suit.
There was a pair of sunglasses on his left hand, and he was sporting the limited edition Armani shoes.
From the looks of it, he looked like the type of man that enjoyed all the luxuries in life.
His face was also one to be reckoned with.
His features were regal and aristocratic. The curl in his hair emphasized his high cheekbones and dark
eyes. There was something about his gaze that drew her in.
Upon gazing into them, it felt as if she was sinking down an abyss with no way out.
The two teachers were sweaty from the amount of nervousness they were forced to deal with. When
they saw Vana enter, their shoulders sagged in relief.
"Are you Lola's parent? You look young," Jim Wang exclaimed. He was a forty-year-old man with
almost no hair left on his scalp.
"I didn't expect that the Auntie Lola mentioned is such a beautiful woman. Your family has great genes.
Lola's also vastly praised in school."
In an attempt to diffuse the situation, the two teachers acted over enthusiastically, confusing Vana when
she entered the room.
"Although, Lola has to change her temper. It's getting harder for us to teach her."
Jim Wang was Lola Li's adviser, and he adored her. However, there were times when Lola Li would get
into scuffles with her classmates. There were many teachers who had mixed feeling when it came to
Lola. Although she was smart, she was also a troublemaker.
"It seems that I don't know your name yet. My name is Bob He. I'm the advisor for Class 9, which
happens to be Ethan's class." Bob He motioned to the boy sitting on the sofa.
Vana bowed her head, quickly introducing herself. "My name is Vana Gu, and I'm Lola's legal guardian.
Her parents have gone abroad, and her grandparents aren't capable of coming here, so please inform
me if anything like this happens again in the future," she said softly.
"Okay. That's better. When we talked about the matter with two of her other guardians, they blamed her
too harshly. Maybe a part of it was because of her parent's absence. It's better like this. Younger people
are much easier to communicate with," Jim Wang smiled. "My name is Jim Wang. I am Lola's advisor."
Vana greeted him again. After a while, she knew all the details in communicating with these advisors.
However, that still didn't ease the problem of Lola becoming more and more violent.
It was wrong for her to start a fight, and she never apologized. In fact, she would even defend it by
saying how 'they started it first'.
'Lola came to beat him up. She only told me he started it to make me come to school.'
Upon hearing their explanation, Vana glared at Lola from across the room.
Vana looked incredibly graceful in her business dress. Even if her clothes were loose around her figure,
she still remained charming and innocent.
Standing in front of the boy and his guardian, Vana bowed her head. "I apologize in behalf of Lola. We
didn't educate her well enough. I hope that you'd give her a chance to change herself."
The teachers sighed in relief at Vana's humble attitude. They thought that everything would finally be
able to blow over.
However, just as they were thinking that it was all over, the man's cool voice cut through the peaceful
atmosphere. "Is that all?"
