Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 295

Chapter 295 Don’t Ask Anymore

She looked at the man who was surrounded by the villagers in the town and felt that it was very ironic.

He had ruined her family, but he could always live such a respected and flattered life.

On what basis?

Lyra bit the corner of her lips and walked over step by step.

“Mr. Barnwell is really kind. Can you tell me why you came to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony

today? You are not doing this for the children who can’t attend school, but to save the face and

reputation of your company.”

Her words attracted the attention of everyone.

“Everyone, it is true that the Barnwell group donated this Hope Primary School, but your gratitude was

deliberately used by him and became his tool to make money. It is also a fact.”

“Don’t you feel ashamed to see their sincere and grateful eyes?”

She wanted to expose Hank’s fake pretense and let everyone know that he was a sanctimonious

hypocrite!

Deception was the trick this man was best at. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

The villagers were puzzled. “Miss, how can you say that? Mr. Barnwell is our great benefactor.” “Using

hundreds of thousands to earn face for the Barnwell group, this deal is really too worthwhile.” Lyra

gritted her teeth in hatred. How could he deceive these simple people? As soon as Lyra finished

speaking, Uncle Zhang walked over from behind. Uncle Zhang grabbed her, “You’re an outsider, what

do you know? Go to the side.”

Following that, Uncle Zhang loudly shouted, “It is Mr. Barnwell who allows the children in town to study.

We have to thank him!”

“Thank you!”

Wave after wave of shouts drowned out all the words that Lyra had just said.

She looked at Uncle Zhang in confusion. Before she could say anything else, Uncle Zhang pulled her

away angrily. “Today is the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the elementary school. If you dare to cause

trouble, I won’t be polite to you.” Uncle Zhang’s face was flushed red, and he looked extremely angry.

Lyra was even more confused.

“I heard it last night. You knew him long ago, so you spoke up for him. This is not strange. What I said

is also the truth.” “Impossible, he…” “What she said is indeed the truth.” Hank walked towards them, his

cold aura full of pressure. “Uncle Zhang, you heard it. He admitted it himself.” Lyra tried her best to

remain calm. Uncle Zhang looked at Hank doubtfully. “You know this girl?” Hank smiled and nodded, “I

know her, and I’m very familiar with her. So you don’t have to worry that I will bully her.”

Lyra was startled.

It turned out that Uncle Zhang was in a hurry to take her away because he was afraid that after she

said those words, he would vent his anger on her. Uncle Zhang waved his hand, “Alright, it’s about

time. Let’s go in quickly.” Lyra glanced at Hank and quickened her pace. She whispered something to

Uncle Zhang. Hank slowly followed behind. The ribbon-cutting ceremony soon began. Lyra found a

corner to stay in, trying to find the person in the photo. She also talked to Uncle Zhang from time to

time, wanting to please this old man. After all, this was her greatest hope now. Uncle Zhang was eating

melon seeds in his mouth, impatiently waving his hand, “Stop pestering me. I don’t know anything. I’m

already so old, I really can’t remember.” Lyra was not in a hurry but took the initiative to send the

peeled melon seeds forward. “It wasn’t easy for me to come here, and I don’t want to go back like this.

Don’t worry, I won’t force you.”

“You…”

Uncle Zhang picked up the small stool and sat on the other side of the table. Lyra wanted to follow but

was stopped by someone. She turned around and frowned. “Let go of me,” she said. “Keith arranged

for a few reporters to come over for an interview. Do you want to go in front or stay here?” he asked.

Lyra was stunned. If she was photographed to be in the same frame as Hank, she would be gossiped

about again. She stood against the curtain and kept hiding.

Hank looked at her cautious appearance and a smile appeared on his face. However, he did not tell her

that the reporters would not be able to take photos backstage at all. “Have they left?” Lyra had been

avoiding them carefully. “No,” Hank looked at her and shook his head lightly.

Lyra gritted her teeth. Her legs were numb from squatting down. It was not easy to hear the applause

outside. It seemed that the interview was about to end. She leaned forward and looked forward. She

could not stand firmly and rushed forward. Fortunately, Hank pulled her from behind in time. As the two

of them stood firm, the entire temporary stage collapsed. The red curtain also fell down, covering both

of them. “There seems to be someone down there. Come and help.” Lyra was protected by him and

could not move. “Go from the back. There are reporters in front.” Lyra had no doubts. When she got up,

the photo slipped out of her bag and fell to the ground.

She was brought to the back of the primary school by Hank. The cool breeze blew over, and she

instantly felt much more refreshed.

The entire playground was newly built. It was clean and there was a row of poplar trees planted behind

it. With the handwriting on the wall, it had a strong academic atmosphere. It could be seen that it had

been carefully designed. Lyra couldn’t help but be a little upset about what she had just said. Perhaps,

as these villagers thought, Hank really did a good thing for this place. Otherwise, where would these

children go to school?

“Mr. Barnwell!”

A child with a windmill in his hand ran over. His face was flushed red from the wind. He raised his little

hand and handed the windmill to Hank timidly and nervously. “I made it myself. Thank you for coming!

My mother said that you are a great

entrepreneur. I will study hard in the future and work for you in your company.” His usually cold face

actually smiled a little because of this child’s voice. “No, you have to do many big things in the future.

As long as you are willing to work hard, you can succeed.” The child nodded as if he understood.

Then, he looked at Lyra, who was next to him. His small eyes rolled and he looked at Hank.

Then, he grinned, revealing two little tiger teeth. “Thank you, Madam,” she bowed to Lyra earnestly.

Madam?

“I am not…” Before Lyra could explain, the child had already run far away. She could only clench her

fingers and take half a step to the side. Seeing her alienated actions, Hank’s eyes darkened a little. “Mr.

Barnwell, the reporters are ready to interview you alone.” Keith quickly came over. Lyra was very

observant and immediately left when she heard the noise. But when she went around the other side of

the teaching building, she found that the photo she had brought was missing. “Oh no.” She returned to

the ribbon-cutting platform to look for it, but she could not find it even after searching everywhere. “Are

you looking for this?” a rough and wild uncle from the countryside asked in a cold voice as he held the

photo.
