Chapter 34 Ma TaoLiu

The next day in school, Ming An Ling was called to the dean's office.

Inside the office was Du Rugong and the security guard that took her acceptance letter, Ma TaoLiu.

Upon seeing her, Ma TaoLiu immediately bowed and started apologising "Miss Ming, I am sorry! I shouldn't have accepted someone's bribe to take your letter. Please let my son go!" He looked at her fearfully.

Flashback,

"Dad! The school said that they are putting my enrollment on hold, that means I cannot go to school. Sob sob." Ma TaoLiu's son ran to him crying.

Ma TaoLiu fumed, and asked his son what had happened. "The principal said that it seems that parents are not good people so they will put my enrollment on hold until you rectify your wrongdoings."

However Ma TaoLiu was deep in his anger to even hear what his son said and left for the elementary school.

...

Right now, the only words haunting his mind were that elementary school principal's "Think about what you had done, your son is a good child and I don't want him to loose the opportunity for a good education just because of a parent's mistake." He kneeled on the ground stunned.

So far the only person he had offended was Ming An Ling.

.....

"Hey Mr Nao or Mu, don't make it sound like I had kidnapped your son. I simply taught you a lesson." Ming An Ling waved her hand in front of the dazed Ma TaoLiu.

Ma TaoLiu gritted his teeth 'Why am I the scapegoat?' In fact, before coming to apologise, he had contacted Zhao Maihan to request for help. However, typical her just told him to solve it himself since she had paid already and threatened him not to reveal anything about her.

"Feel indignant?" Ming An Ling's voice rang again through his ears, "Have you ever thought that if I do not have the power to stand up for myself, the people surrounding me would have been hurt? If I was just another normal simple person, education is almost like the main key to be able to earn money. However you could have destroyed someone's chance to do well, parents who supported them just to find out the bad news that their child cannot get better education just because a letter was lost, that could have destroyed a wonderful family. I had just let you experience the pain someone could have gone through just because of your misconduct."

"But I was threatened! If I don't do it, they will make my family suffer." Ma TaoLiu argued.

"So what if you were threatened? I don't believe that you weren't tempted by the bribe. You could have sought help from the school, I'm sure the dean could have stepped in right?" She retorted and send a glance to Du Rugong.

"Yes yes Mr Ma, we would have helped you." The dean assured, afterall if that happens many times, the school would have lost many talents, he sweated.

Ma TaoLiu went silent, he knew he could not win but tried to make the final struggle, but even the dean is supporting her. He could only apologise and admit his wrongs and accept the consequences.

"Don't worry your child will still be able to go to school after this but scholarship wise...you know what I mean." Ming An Ling made her way out of the office.
