Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When everyone heard this, they left in a hurry.
“Dean, what is it?” Chen Zitong was a little anxious. “They’re all gone. I won’t be able to occupy a good spot later.”
“I’ll just ask you two questions. I’ll let you go after that.” The dean was a little unhappy with his attitude. He walked up to him and asked, “I heard that you’ve been very close to a crooked person recently. You’re no longer focused on your studies.”
Chen Zitong was stunned to hear this. He subconsciously clenched his fists and said unhappily,
“Who’s spreading rumors? Other than going home to get my living expenses and change of clothes on the weekend, I’ve been staying in school. How could I have the chance to interact with such a person as you mentioned?”
The dean narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while before asking, “Alright, let me ask you a second question. Old Gao’s jade pendant was broken by someone. Someone said that you broke it. What do you have to say about that?”
“How is that possible!” Chen Zitong raised his voice, before suppressing it under the dean’s stern gaze. “That day, I only accidentally broke Teacher Gao’s jade pendant rope. The pendant wasn’t broken at all.”
“Hey! I’m curious. Old Gao must have worn his jade pendant at all times. How did you break his rope?”
“I didn’t do it on purpose.” Chen Zitong looked anxious. “I just wanted to joke with him… Is that jade pendant really broken? Why don’t… why don’t I compensate him?”
“You’ll compensate? Chu Luo gave that jade to Old Gao. It’s very meaningful. How are you going to compensate?”
“I…” Chen Zitong lowered her head and asked as if he had done something wrong,” Did Chu Luo come to the school today to condemn me? ”
The dean stared at Chen Zitong for a moment and didn’t answer him. After a while, he said, “Kid, why are you trembling? How can Chu Luo be here to condemn you? Mrs. Gao called to ask about this. Chu Luo doesn’t know at all.”
“Phew…” Chen Zitong heaved a sigh of relief.
The dean raised his hand and wanted to pat his shoulder.
Chen Zitong seemed to be frightened and jumped to the side.
The dean said angrily, “Why did you have such a big reaction?”
“I… I thought you were going to hit me.”
“I think that’s your guilty conscience acting up. Tell me, when did I hit someone for no reason?”
“I…”
“Alright, alright. Go to the auditorium.”
“Okay!”
Chen Zitong ran away as if he had received an amnesty.
The dean looked at Chen Zitong, who was running away faster than a rabbit, and shook his head. “You broke the jade pendant Chu Luo gave Old Gao. Do you think Chu Luo won’t teach you a lesson given her fierce character?”
After a few seconds, he said sourly and angrily, “Of course! It’s only because Old Gao is easygoing and isn’t calculative with you. If Chu Luo gave me a jade pendant and you dared to break it, I’d definitely make you unable to cry!”
Not only were the entire Grade 10 cohort’s students here, but even all the Grade 10 teachers were also here.
In the beginning, some people even said in private that she would definitely have stage fright. Some people even said that the knowledge points she taught couldn’t possibly concern all the students.
However, the moment Chu Luo went on stage and started lecturing, she shocked the teachers and students present.
The students who originally liked to talk in class or daydream listened attentively.
The knowledge points that Chu Luo mentioned ranged from easy to difficult, so that everyone was taken care of.
Chu Luo spoke for 90 minutes on the podium, and no one below the stage made a sound throughout.
When the time came, Chu Luo stopped and said, “That’s all for this class. Class dismissed.”
At this moment, the class monitor subconsciously stood up and shouted, “Stand up!”
All the students stood up.
“Goodbye, Teacher.”
Chu Luo was drinking water and almost spat it out.
Some students were restless and wanted to come up and ask questions.
At this moment, the door of the auditorium was opened by two bodyguards.
Everyone subconsciously looked over. When they saw the man who walked in, they were stunned by the powerful aura emanating from his body.
The girls screamed in their hearts in spite of their fear.
“Ahhh… What a handsome and cool older brother!”
“I can’t stand it anymore. I’m going to faint.”
When the school’s heads reacted and wanted to come up to greet him, Li Yan walked up to Chu Luo and asked, “Are you done with class?”
“Mm.” Chu Luo nodded at him.
Li Yan took the books from the desk and the two of them walked towards the door.
Chu Luo asked, “Where are Teacher Gao and the others?”
“I’ve already gotten the helicopter to pick them up.”
“How are we going back?”
“Two helicopters are coming over to fetch us.”
Their conversation made the school’s heads, who were about to walk over, suddenly unable to take another step.
Until Chu Luo and Li Yan walked to the door.
The principal shouted, “Chu Luo, wait.”
Chu Luo and Li Yan stopped.
The principal strode over and extended his hand to Li Yan with a smile. “CEO Li, hello.”
Li Yan only glanced at his hand coldly and had no intention of shaking it.
Under everyone’s gaze, the principal was so embarrassed that he could barely hold the smile on his face. He thought in frustration, ‘If I had known, I wouldn’t have stretched out my hand. How can a legendary big shot like Master Li be bothered with a nobody like me?’
At this moment, Chu Luo tugged at Li Yan’s sleeve.
Li Yan then shook the principal’s hand.
They separated at a touch.
However, the principal looked like he had won a billion yuan lottery. The corners of his lips were about to spread to his ears. He suppressed his excitement and said, “CEO Li, welcome to our Ocean City’s elite high school. This is Chu Luo’s alma mater. Do you want to take a look?”
He thought to himself, ‘It’s best if we can even eat together tonight and talk about the construction of her alma mater, hahaha…’
Li Yan replied coldly, “I’m not free.”
After saying that, he held Chu Luo’s hand and walked out of the door.
The principal’s smile froze.
After the two of them walked out of the door, Chu Luo said to him, “Let’s wait for a while before going back. Teacher Gao is poisoned by Gu. I want to find out who planted the Gu on him.”
“Okay.”
The two of them had just walked to the school field under the protection of a group of bodyguards when the dean’s voice came from behind. “Chu Luo, wait.”
The two of them stopped.
Li Yan gestured to all the bodyguards. “Stand aside. Don’t let anyone get close.”
The bodyguards immediately dispersed and stood six to seven meters away from them.
The dean quickly walked up to the two of them and said, “I’ve already asked Chen Zitong what you wanted me to ask him.”
“What did he say? How did he react?”
The dean described what Chen Zitong had said and his reaction in detail.
After saying that, he deliberately asked, “Chu Luo, did Chen Zitong really break the jade pendant that you gave Old Gao?”
“No.”
The dean was about to heave a sigh of relief when Chu Luo continued, “That piece of jade was given by an expert and can ensure his safety. Teacher Gao didn’t have any illness before. He only had it after the jade was removed.”
“Er…” The dean wanted to say that this might be a coincidence, but this was too much of a coincidence. Therefore, he couldn’t say this, so he only changed the topic and asked,” Are you guys planning to go back? ”
“Yeah.”
“In that case, we won’t keep you. Chu Luo, you’re the pride of our school. All the best at Imperial University.”
“Okay.”
It wasn’t until Chu Luo and Li Yan left the school that the dean sighed. “Outstanding people can indeed attract outstanding people. The two of them look really compatible.”
After saying that, he turned and left.
After Chu Luo and Li Yan got into the car, Li Yan handed her a thermos flask.
Chu Luo rubbed her hungry stomach and said with a smile, “Coincidentally, I’m hungry.”
Li Yan also reached out to touch her stomach. The next moment, he frowned and said, “You didn’t eat lunch?”
“Er… how did you know?”
“Your stomach is flat.”
“…” Chu Luo looked at him, who had a serious expression. She knew that she shouldn’t laugh at this time, but she still laughed.
Li Yan pinched her cheek in dissatisfaction and said sternly, “Eat.”
“Oh.”
Chu Luo opened the lunchbox, took a piece of pastry, and started eating.
Li Yan said to the chauffeur, “Go to the nearest restaurant.”
Chu Luo didn’t stop him. After eating a few pieces of pastry and drinking a few mouthfuls of warm milk tea, she said to him, “The Grade 10 students can leave at 5: 30 in the afternoon. I’ll lure Chen Zitong out and see how much I can find out from him.”
“Okay.”
The car quickly arrived at a high-end restaurant.
When the group of bodyguards got out of the car, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
When everyone saw Chu Luo and Li Yan appear here, they were shocked and excited.
Many people took out their phones to take photos.
Li Yan’s cold gaze swept across them to suppress those people as he pulled Chu Luo into his arms and shielded her face.. The two of them walked towards the restaurant door.
