C18 The Contract Was Fake

She was merely a servant of the Lu family, and even the Guo family lacked confidence in securing the contract. Was this woman delusional?

"Lu Zihann's parents, I can already picture you scrubbing toilets, haha..."

"We're also curious—is the contract real or fake?"

It seemed that many of the Lu family's usual competitors were now eager to take a jab at them.

The room buzzed with various opinions.

Most people, upon learning she was just a servant for the Lu family, concluded without a doubt that the contract was a forgery.

She was met with looks of skepticism and disdain.

Just then, the principal, passing by the door, heard the commotion and entered.

"Principal, your timing is perfect. Our class is facing a dilemma and we could use your assistance."

Ms. Zhao hurried over and briefed the principal on the day's events.

The principal, who had transferred here two years prior, examined the contract and his expression grew stern.

"Lu Zihann's parents, I'm at a loss as to why you would present a fake contract and cause such a disturbance at today's parent-teacher conference. You bear an undeniable responsibility."

He had glimpsed what an official contract should look like, and this one, lacking a seal, he deemed counterfeit without hesitation.

"I said it was fake! Lu Zihann's parents, you'll now be in charge of all the school's restrooms!"

"It's my first time witnessing someone flaunting a fake contract, trying to punch above their weight. She should be taught a lesson in humility."

"Lu Zihann's parents, it's best you leave now."

Ms. Zhao approached her, sensing the gravity of the situation.

Su Rann's plight stirred a sense of compassion in her.

She too was a woman, and public humiliation like this was utterly disheartening.

Initially, when Su Rann produced the contract, the short-haired woman had texted Lin Manyin.

Manyin arrived just in time to witness Su Rann being scorned by everyone, a sight that secretly thrilled her.

"Miss Lin, the Lu family holds a prestigious position in Lan City. How could someone possibly present a fake contract? I must provide an explanation for the commotion caused today."

The principal's face grew increasingly grim.

"Principal, I sincerely apologize. Her actions are in no way connected to the Lu family!"

Lin Manyin was determined not to let this woman tarnish the Lu family's good name.

"Su Rann, you need to apologize to the principal and the other parents immediately!"

Lin Manyin assumed an air of arrogance.

"Was I wrong?" Her eyes were icy and detached.

She snatched the contract from the principal.

"The contract was rejected by you!"

She grabbed the contract, intent on leaving.

"Su Rann, the school's restrooms are still waiting for you, aren't they?"

"Running away, are we? It seems that the youth of today just can't be relied upon!"

A crowd followed her out, determined not to let Su Rann off the hook until she provided an explanation.

"Su Rann, hold it right there. At the very least, you owe everyone an apology; don't disgrace the Lu family's name!"

Lin Manyin advanced, attempting to seize her arm.

Just then, a stretch Lincoln drove by.

"Stop the car!"

He called out upon recognizing the familiar face.

"It's the School Board Member's car!" The principal hurried over in a flurry.
