"Mr. Jiang, you don't have to be like this. My parents once studied at Huayun and were taught by you. They said that you are a man of high moral character, have devoted your life to teaching and educating people, and have many students all over the world. You are very worthy of respect. Since I entered Huayun, I have not enjoyed the treatment I deserve, and have suffered countless abuses. I don't know why you can turn a blind eye and ignore it." Gu Can reached out and helped Principal Jiang up.

"Based on my experience, I find it hard to believe that you are the old principal my parents mentioned, but the person who really hurt me is not you. I will not accept any apology. I came to Huayun just to study." After saying this, Gu Can looked at Kong Ming.

"Principal Kong, after a month of studying and getting along with my classmates, I find that there is a big gap between me and them. Can I now apply for independent study and the right to read all the books in the library?" Huayun's library has the richest collection of books, and because of this, there are many rare books that not everyone can read. After all, those books are extremely precious and are cultural relics.

"Okay, you can settle in the dormitory today, and come to the principal's office tomorrow. I will take you to handle the procedures personally." Kong Ming looked at the group of people following him, and then agreed to Gu Can's application.

"Principal Kong, Mr. Jiang, and teachers, I'll take my leave first." Gu Can bowed to them before dragging his suitcase and running towards his villa with firm steps.

Gu Can has an upright posture and walks with firm steps, like a green pine or bamboo.

"With a daughter of integrity and pride, the Gu family will surely be able to show up in the eyes of the world again." A professor in the crowd pushed his glasses, his face full of admiration.

"A hundred years ago, when foreign enemies invaded, the entire Gu family hid their identities, took the lead in research, and sacrificed all the family's assets. In the end, they were able to protect the prosperity of Jiuzhou. Today, it still stands proudly at the top of the world. The descendants of the Gu family must be right." Kong Ming also knew Gu Can's identity.

"Grandpa." Jiang Le'an then walked forward and looked at his grandfather. Why was his grandfather not the principal anymore?

The others looked at Principal Jiang and Jiang Le'an. Finally, Kong Ming stepped forward.

"Mr. Jiang, we'll take our leave now." Seeing Mr. Jiang nod, the group left. Looking at Mr. Jiang, everyone felt sorry. He had dedicated his whole life to the cause of education, but in the end, he lost his integrity.

"Le'an, when your parents divorced, you were still young. They remarried and sent you to me." Old Mr. Jiang patted Jiang Le'an's hand, and the two talked as they walked.

"I didn't teach your father well, so I always feel I owe you. You've been smart and well-behaved since you were young, so I always wanted to treat you better and better. I've spent my whole life teaching, but I failed to teach you and your father well. When you threatened to commit suicide that day and forced Lan Qianqian to enroll, I had already written my resignation."

"Grandpa, I'm sorry."

"Child, everyone makes mistakes, but knowing your mistakes is the best way to improve. Grandpa made a mistake, so Grandpa is no longer qualified to be the principal. Le An, you are not a bad child, but you have not learned how to take responsibility. Classmate Gu Can is a student who is dedicated to learning. Don't bother her anymore. This is the only thing you can do to make amends."

Jiang Le'an was in a very complicated mood at this time. She felt guilty and sad, but also angry and dissatisfied. She was angry at Lan Qianqian's deception and dissatisfied with Gu Can's unreasonableness. The saddest thing was that her grandfather was no longer the principal of Huayun, and she would no longer have any privileges.

Gu Can could only say that while Principal Jiang had many students, he himself suffered from bitterness. He couldn't blame anyone.

Gu Can, having received the keys, arrived at Villa No. 6 in Nanyuan. It was immaculately clean, fully furnished, and equipped with all the necessary appliances. The second floor had three rooms: a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom, a study, and a second bedroom. The study had a large balcony.

The first floor has a kitchen, bathroom, living room, dining room, and a guest room. The first floor covers an area of ​​180 square meters, so such a small villa is more than enough for Gu Can to live in.

There was also a rooftop terrace of about 60 square meters, with a 1.2-meter-high guardrail. Gu Can looked at the room next door, which had been turned into a sunny study. It looked nice, but she had only lived there for four years, so it wasn't necessary.

There are also 200 square meters of gardens in front and back.

Of course, this world lacks metaphysics, so spiritual powers can't be used, but the power of technology can still be used. Gu Can simply pulled out an all-purpose household robot. Cleaning, making beds, and safety checks are all done without worry.

Looking at the busy robot, Gu Can sat down on the freshly cleaned sofa with peace of mind and began to contact his parents.

Gu Can: Are mom and dad here?

Gu Liang: I’m busy.

Ji Xiaoju: I’m busy.

Gu Can: Could you please spare a little time to save your lovely daughter? She was almost disfigured today.

Gu Liang: I’m not busy anymore, you can talk.

Ji Xiaoju: Isn't this the modern world? How can you be so dangerous?

Gu Can: I’m surrounded by a bunch of idiots, what do you think?

Gu Liang: What should we do?

Ji Xiaoju: You are at Qingzhou Huayun University. I will apply to be transferred to Huayun as a teacher.

Gu Can: That’s not necessary. I can handle the school affairs. Mom, you have the heaviest task right now, so don’t bother yourself. It’s just that we need a little pressure on the five major families in Qingzhou, so we can only mobilize the power of the family.

Gu Liang: I'm going to find your uncle.

Ji Xiaoju: I'm going to find your uncle.

Gu Liang and Ji Xiaoju were offline. Although they both worked at the research institute, they focused on different things and were responsible for different projects, so they were not together at the moment.

Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Ji were both there, but the position of head of the family had been passed to the eldest son, so both of them went to their eldest brother to report.

"Brother, Cancan is being bullied."

"What's going on? Who dares to bully Cancan?" Uncle Gu was in a meeting. When he saw his younger brother, who was devoted to his studies, called him at this time, he thought something was wrong.

Sure enough, something happened. How dare they bully the apple of their Gu family's eye!

"Isn't Cancan studying at Qingzhou Huayun? The heirs of the five great families in North City are so impressive. Poor Cancan, if she hadn't been so scared by the near-disfigurement today, she wouldn't have called us." Gu Liang would complain, crying so hard that tears welled up in his eyes. Those who heard it were heartbroken and moved to tears.

"Oh, the five great families, I want to see how great the five great families in the North City are. Don't worry about this matter." Uncle Gu said.

"Hey, sorry to bother you, brother." Gu Liang said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Cancan is from our Gu family." Uncle Gu hung up the phone with Gu Liang. This second son was being too polite when he shouldn't be. He had no sense of propriety when he should be. Never mind. With his dull mind, he could only do scientific research.

"Wow, brother, Cancan was bullied and almost got disfigured today. Waaah, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let Cancan go back to Qingzhou to study. She's all alone and I don't know how much she's suffered. Waaah." Ji Xiaoju's way of complaining, well, is hard to comment on, but it's useful.

"Don't cry, little sister. What's wrong with Cancan? What disfigurement? Forget it. I'll go find Boss Gu. You just focus on your research. Don't worry, I will definitely not let anyone bully Cancan." Uncle Ji is fearless except his little sister crying in front of him.

When he was a child, whenever his little sister cried, his father would beat her. Now, whenever his little sister cries, he feels a dull pain in his back.

What kind of bastard dared to bully his niece? If the old man knew about this, he would be in big trouble. Uncle Ji shuddered. He immediately called his secretary to check on Gu Can and then called Uncle Gu.

"Wencheng. Aju just called me and said Cancan was bullied and was crying so sadly. She also said that she was disfigured." Uncle Ji asked.

The eldest uncle of the Gu family was named Gu Wen, also known by his courtesy name Wencheng. In Kyushu, men at the age of twenty would undergo a ceremony to wear a cap, where they would be given a courtesy name by their elders. Women would also have a jigui ceremony at the age of twenty, though in earlier times, this was typically performed at the age of sixteen.

After the invasion of foreign enemies a hundred years ago, Kyushu underwent some changes, but also suffered cultural shocks. The rite of passage for women was set at 20 years old. Only after reaching the age of 20 could men and women discuss marriage.

"Qingyou, I was just about to call you. The second brother just told me that there are five great families in North City that seem to be very amazing." The sarcasm in Gu Wen's tone was about to overflow from the phone.

My uncle Ji’s name is Ji Song, and his courtesy name is Qingyou.

"Are the five great families of Qingzhou North City, Fu, Xi, Du, Zhong, and Feng, all involved?"

"Probably, but there's always a priority."

Ji Song and Gu Wen chatted for a while, and they probably had a rough idea in their minds. Although the Gu and Ji families were not well-known, they were quite powerful. It was quite fast to investigate something that was not covered up.
