The school leaders' words only reinforced the lead teacher's prior judgment - Yun Ran was indeed being bullied!

"Your family has contacted the school to cancel your study tour spot and asked the school to send you back."

Yun Ran grabbed a bun and took a fierce bite, swallowing it before asking, "Did the school agree?"

The guilt of the lead teacher grew; he was just a lead teacher, unable to stand up for Yun Ran.

"Yes."

This was the downside of having guardianship in someone else's hands; they could make a lot of decisions for her without her consent.

"Show me the principal's phone number and his picture!"

She wasn't the original character, naturally not bound by the scripted plot.

Knowing that Yun Family had contacted the school leaders to cancel her spot, she dared to press even higher authorities on them.

The lead teacher's heart, previously uneasy, lit up upon hearing Yun Ran's words.

How could he have forgotten? Yun Ran was a master, not one to be lacking resistance.

"I'll give it to you right now!"

For others, getting the principal's phone number would be wishful thinking.

But for Yun Ran, he wished he could spill all the rumors he had heard about the principal.

Yun Ran looked at the newest photo of the principal, especially his bald head, thinking it really was a waste of a scholarly face.

The Children Palace showed he had two sons, but everyone at school knew the principal only had one daughter; now that was interesting.

Yun Ran immediately smiled and picked up the phone to call the principal's office.

The principal, just out of a meeting and a bit exhausted, pinched the bridge of his nose; reporting to the school board always seemed to make him lose weight.

His office phone rang, he thought it was more work, and gathered his energy to answer.

"I am Du Cheng."

"Hello Principal, I'm Yun Ran from the first year international class, I need a little favor."

Du Cheng was momentarily speechless, if he helped every student that asked, what time would he have left for other tasks?

However, since the international class was composed of children from Hai City's wealthy families, he couldn't neglect them.

"Yun Ran, the school has assigned you life teachers for such matters, you can go directly to them for help..."

Du Cheng hadn't finished speaking when Yun Ran interrupted him: "If you help me, I can help you find your two sons~"

The words hit him like a hammer, tearing open long-sealed memories.

Decades ago, when he was just a minor official eager for promotion, he'd aggressively pursued any travel opportunity from the school.

That year, having just got married, he received the chance to travel abroad for a year. Though career-driven, he felt a great sense of familial duty.

His wife persuaded him to go, telling him it was a great opportunity and he could become the director afterward.

He went, but later regretted that decision immensely, not expecting that his wife was pregnant at the time.

He had no choice but to entrust his parents to care for his pregnant wife; by the time he returned, his wife had already given birth to a daughter but suffered severe postpartum depression.

His wife claimed she gave birth to boys, twin boys. He doubted it at the time, but seeing his daughter looked a lot like him.

Plus, with his mom saying his wife favored boys over girls, concluded she deluded herself thinking her boys were taken away.

Heartbroken and guilty, he tried to provide as much security for his wife as possible, even though it was a daughter he loved deeply.

Unexpectedly, when his daughter was one, his wife took sleeping pills and didn't wake up.

He was devastated but had to stay strong for his young daughter and elderly parents.

Very few knew about this.

Now a high school student suddenly mentioned this, his heart raced.

Thinking of his wife's insistence till death about having two sons, the principal blurted out, "What do you want me to do?"

"Principal, don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything against your professional ethics. I'm currently participating in a study tour.

But there's some disagreement with my family, they went directly to the school leadership and forcefully canceled my study tour spot.

I hope you can give those leaders a nudge; tell them not to be too obsequious and to respect the agreement!"

Principal: ...

He was prepared to lose face just to uncover the truth, and this was it?

Taking a deep breath, suppressing his annoyance, the principal finally said, "Alright, leave this matter to me!"

After so many years as principal, if he couldn't even handle this, he'd have been torn apart by some of the school board members long ago.

As they say, a higher official can crush you like a bug; with one call from the principal, those who had recklessly canceled a student's especially charitable study tour were heavily chastised.

Facing the school board without humble submission, he was even more fierce with his ill-informed subordinates.

Within ten minutes, the lead teacher received a call; Yun Ran could stay.

Satisfied with the principal's efficiency, Yun Ran didn't play coy. After getting the principal's birth information, she gave him two addresses.

Then she added, "You might want to bring some Bodyguards. And from now on, even with those close to you, always keep an extra eye open."

The lead teacher, having listened to the entire conversation, wore an expression full of gossip: "Yun Ran, the principal's daughter looks so much like him, could she be his illegitimate daughter?"

These theories of mistresses and switched children really could lead people to wild speculation, even among these so-called academics.

"You're thinking too much. Although the principal is slick and sometimes annoying, he is indeed loyal to his family."

The lead teacher had limited influence, but Yun Ran still had years of schooling ahead; it was essential to build allies in school.

Moreover, about the principal's issue, it was bound to come out eventually; mentioning it early wouldn't change anything.

"The principal's family has a history of twins; his daughter, strictly speaking, is actually his niece, which is why she resembles him so much.

Unfortunately, the principal doesn't know he has a twin brother. Seeing him so successful and with a good income, his parents adored him.

The son they sent away was unfortunate, and his misfortune deepened when he had a daughter. Blinded by favoritism, they switched the two children, unknowingly contributing to their daughter-in-law's death. Oh, what a tragedy."
