Chapter 155 Framing John Lee


    Last month, an unknown person called Amber and asked her to hand John Lee a serious punishment,


    that would destroy his reputation in school, Promising to give her 200, 000 yuan after it was done. The


    caller ID was blocked.


    Amber didn''t n to do that. But eventually, the temptation was too much and she did, considering the


    demand for housing loan, raising her daughter and the car her husband always wanted. Besides, John


    Lee had rejected her daughter, so she also had a personal stake in this.


    She had expected no one to find out about it.


    And of all people, she didn''t expect Linda to butt in.


    Lilian Li calmed down and tried to think of way to help Amber. Amber was her colleague and friend, and


    Lilian felt obligated to help her. Furthermore, she feared the bacsh from the powerful ns.


    Turning to nce at Amber, Lilian rapped her fingers on the table and said, "Okay so here are your


    options; you need to insist that your usations are warrantied. That''s the first point of action. Or you


    find another scapegoat if things don''t go well. I checked, the student who sat there in thestputer


    ss didn''t have a strong family background. You can use him as a scapegoat. But you''re a teacher


    and this behavior is uneptable. You are my friend, so I won''t fire you, but I have to monitor you for a


    while, until the situation cools down. No more tricks Amber, Linda Xia will be teaching here. Don''t


    displease her or we will be in trouble, understood?"


    "Okay, I got it. Thank You, Lilian. I''m so lucky to have you. But I don''t understand why she works here. I


    mean, she is getting married to Young Master Mu, and doesn''t need to work. It''s very strange."


    Amber looked rather vicious, her voice dripping with jealousy.


    Lilian rolled her eyes and replied, "I don''t understand her reasoning as well. But I don''t want this school


    under a spotlight, and with her here, every tiny issue can be a full-blown situation. So be careful

    and stay away from her radar."


    Amber sighed resignedly.


    "Well, stop worrying about it. Maybe she''s a busybody and will forget about it tomorrow. You just need


    to insist. Let''s see what she can do to you. She has to reason with us!"


    Lilian dismissed Amber and sent her home early to take care of her daughter. Her husband lived in the


    school, so Amber had to cook for her daughter after ss.


    "Fine." Amber nodded gratefully and left.


    Brian, Bun, Linda and Charles didn''t leave and were instead, strolling on the yground in


    conversation. The atmosphere on campusforted Linda very much, especially when it was getting


    dark and the school was almost empty. It was something special in the dim light.


    "Honey, have you had supper?"


    Charles held Linda''s hand and asked gently.


    It wasn''t until he asked that Linda realized she hadn''t had supper yet!


    Linda had just talked with John Lee''s parents and seen them off. They were business people who ran a


    smallpany that had been developing over the past ten years.


    Therefore, they had been upied, and paid little attention to John Lee.


    That''s why John turned out the way he did.


    As advised by Linda, his parents apologized on his behalf and promised to talk to John and be more


    attentive to his behavior.


    Linda also told John that he could trust her and shoulde to her if he needed help.


    John Lee was in senior three now, his final year, and had half a semester to study hard. Linda had


    checked his files. He had good grades in junior high and senior one. If he could work harder, he would


    be able to get into a good college. College entrance examination was a one-off chance that he could


    not afford to miss.


    Linda shook her head, "Ah yes, I was so preupied in solving this issue that I forgot to eat. But now I


    feel a little hungry."


    "Let''s go back home for supper. The wind is blowing so hard. I''m afraid you''ll catch a chill." Charles Mu


    said, affectionately.


    Linda nodded with a smile, "Okay."


    She turned to Brian, who was walking behind her. She caught him staring at Bun. Bun flushed and was


    too shy to look back. She just walked behind Linda. Paul walked beside Charles Mu, and was also as


    silent as grave.


    "Brian, what do you think? Would you like to have supper with me? I''ll treat you tonight as a way of


    saying thank you. What do you say?"


    Hearing that, Brian squinted, "Sister, I don''t have time for supper with you. I''m leaving in five minutes."


    Linda was confused and asked, "What? Where are you rushing off to?"


    Brian nodded with a forced smile, "Not really, I was grounded by father. I just sneaked out to see Bun...


    Now that I''ve seen that she is well, I have to go."


    "What do you mean? Why were you grounded?" Linda was totally confused. Didn''t he juste back


    from the army? How can a grown man be grounded? How did he annoy his father again?


    ''''It was because Sarah Shen. My father insists that I should marry her. I don''t know what to do."


    Bun lowered her head, "But I think Lady Shen is a good girl. She''s beautiful and is from a good family."


    "Beautiful? No way. She doesn''te anywhere close to you in that department!"


    Linda couldn''t help butugh. Brian would say anything to make Bun happy.


    Sarah Shen was a pretty girl and stood out in the crowd. But she wasn''t as gorgeous as Bun.


    Brian looked at his watch and realized that he didn''t have much time left. He looked at Bun wistfully.


    But he needed to speak to Linda and Charles. He asked Linda, "Sister, Brother, I''ve got something to


    ask you in private. Shall we take a walk on the yground?"


    Noticing his serious face, Charles knew that his friend didn''t want Bun to overhear their conversation.


    He turned to Bun and Paul, " Wait for us in the car."


    "Yes, Young Master." When Bun turned to leave, she brushed her hand across Brian''s just to feel his


    warmth. She felt the electricity between them, through just that soft graze. She looked at Brian and


    noticed him smiling. He felt it too. That''s all she needed, and she run to catch-up with Paul who was


    already a few meters away.


    They kept strolling on the yground while Bun and Paul went to get the car from the underground


    garage.


    After Bun and Paul were out of ear shot, Charles asked, "Well, what would you like to ask? Why didn''t


    you want Bun and Paul to hear the conversation?"
