She didn’t beat around the bush and straightforwardly told Lin Jiadong about this matter.
Only then did she realize that the silly boy felt guilty towards Lin Chuxia and didn’t want to use her money anymore.
Even if the family didn’t pay his tuition and he had to drop out, he didn’t want to owe Lin Chuxia further.
Sun Lanlan scolded Lin Jiadong on the spot.
"Dropping out? Look at what you’re wearing and eating at school, aren’t all of them carefully prepared by your second sister? She works hard to support your education, and with the college entrance exams next year, you’re shouting about dropping out now, wasting her efforts halfway. If you truly feel sorry for her, you should accept the money, study hard, get into college, and repay her. You know her capabilities now; you must excel in school to pay back her sacrifices. If you drop out, what will you do? Go back to the village and farm? How much farming would it take to repay your second sister’s efforts?"
After saying this, Sun Lanlan laughed, "Xiaxia, you know what, my scolding woke up your silly brother. He cried while accepting the living expenses and repeatedly promised to study hard, get into college, and repay you well."
Lin Chuxia could already imagine the scene.
Her silly brother, not very shrewd, but straightforward.
Knowing Lin Jiadong’s mental block was resolved, Lin Chuxia wasn’t too worried and planned to visit Ancheng County when time allowed. Besides, it would be a chance to show Wang Tianyu around the properties in An City.
However, before she could schedule a time, Sun Lanlan called again.
Her voice carried urgency, "Xiaxia, something’s happened. The school just called saying Lin Jiadong is involved in an early romance, and the girl’s parents found out. They are causing a ruckus at the school, demanding an explanation, and insisting Jiadong be expelled."
Lin Jiadong knew the family was already in chaos, and notifying his parents would likely lead to his expulsion.
Understanding that his second sister was busy with the baby, far from Ancheng County and Yan City, he hesitated to disturb her.
Eventually, he chose to call Sun Lanlan for help.
He couldn’t bear to lose his chance to study.
If he did, he could never repay his second sister.
But Sun Lanlan was clueless about Lin Jiadong’s situation and had no experience handling such matters. She panicked upon receiving the call.
In desperation, she called Lin Chuxia.
Lin Chuxia frowned slightly upon hearing the news.
In the past, Lin Jiadong had unexpectedly dropped out, seemingly due to early romance issues.
Thus, since Lin Jiadong started school, she frequently reminded him to adhere to the school’s rules.
Lin Jiadong wasn’t a disobedient child, and given the circumstances, he was unlikely to engage in early romance.
She recalled the previous incident where Lin Jiadong was falsely accused of stealing, and her eyes darkened.
"Don’t worry, I’ll handle it personally. How did the school notify you? Tell me everything in detail..."
......
Lin Chuxia hung up the phone and went straight to pick up Jia Liang from the restaurant.
Jia Liang had helped with the previous incident and had experience in handling such situations.
When Lin Chuxia and Jia Liang arrived at the school, the principal’s office was already crowded.
Jia Liang, who had previous contact with the high school leaders, whispered in her ear, "The principal behind the desk is the leader, named Liu, and next to him is the vice-principal in charge of discipline and daily student affairs, named Sun. The other two are a director and Lin Jiadong’s homeroom teacher."
