Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 576 - 573

She was foolish then, continuing to work herself to the bone for him just because of a few sweet words.

Now when she thinks about her past self, why was she so stupid...?

Li Zaijun didn’t want to think about these things anymore, clenching her hands until her palms turned red, desperately trying to control certain emotions.

She couldn’t be moved so easily anymore just by someone’s words.

Especially Shen Lin, he had no real relationship with her, his help was merely for the sake of her brother’s face.

Seeing her bow her head without speaking, pursing her lips, her eyes somewhat red, Shen Lin slightly furrowed his brow:

"What, you don’t believe what I said?"

She clearly didn’t take it seriously, her attitude indifferent. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Li Zaijun didn’t reply, but her lack of response was in itself an acknowledgment of his words.

Seeing this, Shen Lin took a deep breath, smirked in amusement, and looking at her, he nodded: "Alright, you don’t believe me, then. I’ll just have to show you how I, as a father, solve problems."

Picking up such a large "little girl," he couldn’t just take advantage without giving anything in return.

Saying this, he stuffed an ice pack into her hands and started walking ahead.

Inside the principal’s office, everyone was waiting.

The incident had caused a terrible accident, and Xu Wenbin’s girlfriend came from a local Beijing family with some money and power, owning a big company; they could not afford to take the matter lightly now.

As for—Li Zaijun, they had never paid attention to this girl’s identity.

"Have her parents arrived?"

The vice principal inside asked.

The female teacher who had tried to stop the fight said, "I’ll go out and check again."

But just as she opened the door, she ran into a man carrying a briefcase, dressed in a suit, about to knock on the door.

She was startled.

The man at the door stepped back, giving way to another tall and straight man behind him, respectfully saying:

"President Shen, please come in."

The door to the principal’s office opened, and everyone inside witnessed the scene.

As the sound of black leather shoes echoed on the floor, a man dressed in a handmade Italian suit walked in.

At this moment, he seemed different from before.

Maturity and elegance were complemented by a sense of stability, his presence stronger than ever.

Seeing the newcomer, people in the office revealed expressions of astonishment.

The female teacher glanced at Li Zaijun, who was behind him, and then at Shen Lin, asking with slight hesitation, "You are...?"

The assistant beside Shen Lin immediately took out a gold-embossed business card and handed it to the middle-aged man at the desk.

"Principal Chen, good day. This is our President Shen’s business card; he is the head of Shen Group in Beijing and also the guardian of our young miss."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Putting aside the gentleman’s identity for a moment, he looked...

How could he possibly be the guardian of that female student?

At this time, the principal looked at Shen Lin and rose to shake hands with him:

"Mr. Shen, are you really responsible for everything concerning her?"

Shen Lin glanced at his assistant, who immediately knew to take something out of the briefcase. Shen Lin then smiled faintly, his expression serious as he spoke:

"Principal Chen, Xiaojun’s parents were both born into military families. They sacrificed their lives while serving as military doctors, and she is a soldier’s widow. Xiaojun’s mother was my cousin. After she became an orphan, I adopted her."

With that said, the assistant handed over a proof of her parents’ identities to the principal—
