Chapter 111: Li An Goes to Some Other School
Mu Sheng looked at Li An looking as happy as a dog wagging its tail before she glanced at the cool Li Hanchen and smiled. “You are absolutely right.”
Li An felt smug and wanted to continue bragging, but he shut up and sat down at the dinner table obediently the moment he saw Li Hanchen from the corner of his eye.
Li Hanchen said nothing. Today, he was slightly more indulgent towards Li An.
Halfway through dinner, the phone in the living room rang.
“Who could be calling at this hour of the night?” muttered Auntie Lin as she walked over to answer the phone. The moment she picked up the phone, she looked upset.
Moments later, she hung up the phone and looked at Li Hanchen hesitantly.
“Who was it?” Li Hanchen quietly ate as light landed on his flawless profile to soften his coldness.
“Young Master, it was from the Li residence. They called to ask if Young Master An was going over. If he doesn’t go, they will stop paying for his school fees and cut off your living expenses.”
The moment Auntie Lin finished her sentence, she looked annoyed. She was not angry about losing money since she was aware of Li Hanchen’s true identity.
Instead, she felt sorry for Li Hanchen. Ten years ago when the abduction happened, they gave up on Li Hanchen. Now that Li Hanchen was back, they ill-treated him. They were supposed to be family, but they ended up even more repulsive than the men who abducted him. It was simply disappointing.
Li An promptly stopped chewing. He looked at Li Hanchen worriedly with his big round eyes. “Big Bro.”
Li Hanchen looked at Li An calmly. It felt as though nothing could shake him. “Eat up.”
“Okay.” Li Hanchen had miraculously soothed Li An’s panic. Li An continued eating his food happily.
Li Ming sat in the Li residence with his legs crossed with a look of mockery on his face. “I didn’t expect such loyalty. Notify the school to get Li An withdrawn. Cut off all funds to Li Hanchen. In three days, they will kneel and beg me for mercy.”
“Yes, Young Master,” said the butler as he bowed reverently. For a moment, he looked a little sad when he turned to leave.
He had worked as a butler at the Li family for over 20 years, so he had watched Li Hanchen grow up. Even though he was a gifted young man, he ended up forsaken by the family. The butler could not help sighing just thinking about it.
Sadly, he was just a butler and was not in the position to get involved. He could only watch as these children got ostracized and cut off by the Li family.
That night, Li An received news he was withdrawn from school.
Li An did not dare to openly show it with Li Hanchen around. In reality, Li An was beside himself with joy. He was absolutely delighted about not going to school!
He could say goodbye to memorizing classical Chinese and he no longer had to do Math or composition. Any student would welcome the idea of not going to school.
Li An’s joy lasted no more than three minutes when Li Hanchen knocked on his door.
“Yes, Big Bro?” Li An quickly concealed his joy and pretended to be sad. “Sigh. I got taken out of school. In that case, I will…”
“You will report at your new school at 8:00 am tomorrow morning. Someone will send you over,” said Li Hanchen before turning to leave. Li An was dumbstruck.
After Li An was finally taken out of school, he was promptly thrown into another torture machine. He really felt like crying. This time, the miserable look on his face was genuine.
Boo hoo! He would have to continue memorizing schoolwork and doing Math and English to no end. Just the thought of it made him lose all hope for the future.
The next morning, Qin Kai came over to pick up Li An for school. Qin Kai smiled when he saw how reluctant Li An was about going to school. “Young Master An, isn’t it good that you can go to school?”
Li An pouted as he inhaled deeply. “I hate memorizing vocabulary. I am hopeless at Math, Chinese, English, Physics, and Chemistry.”
Qin Kai smiled even more brightly. “If you work hard at school, your brother will be very happy.”
Qin Kai managed to strike a chord with Li An, so Li An bit his lip and said, “Fine. I will work hard.”
Although he was not a good student, he wanted to make his older brother happy.
“You are such a good kid.” Qin Kai usually smiled politely, but his smile became more sincere and genial. Even though Li An looked mischievous, he was kind and soft-hearted. He was genuinely a great kid.
The Li family used to put Li An in a renowned elite school for the privileged. The school fees for each term went as high as $100,000.
Since the Li family had cut off Li An’s school fees, Li Hanchen must have put him in an ordinary school.
However, he was completely stunned when he arrived at the new school. He looked at Qin Kai quizzically, “Kai, did you send me to the wrong school? Did you make a mistake?”
