Chapter 1370: Chapter 1339: Slapping the Reborn Stud Protagonist 102
Yi Qihang was furious while holding Xiao Yuanâs information and the system.
"Do you know who he is? Damn it, heâs my rival in love, do you understand that? Itâs because of this bastard that Iâm in such a state, and now you want me to win him over? Youâre a damn thing."
The system remained silent.
After a while, it finally spoke: "The system carefully considers factors of Qi Fortune and Merit before deciding the target person. Winning him over is equivalent to winning over dozens of rich people. Think about it yourself."
Yi Qihang fell silent after his outburst.
He really didnât have the strength to make a sound.
He always felt that the system had deceived him.
These days, Mingzhu always felt awkward at school.
She saw Xiao Mei every day, which made her quite uncomfortable.
However, Mingzhu could control her emotions well and didnât show anything.
Ever since the school started, Xiao Mei couldnât be desk mates with Tang Feiyu and ended up sitting with the chubby Gu Hao.
Primarily because Gu Hao has always been Xiao Meiâs follower, being nice to her since middle school, often buying her things to eat. On Xiao Meiâs birthdays, he even bought her gifts. Whenever someone said something bad about Xiao Mei, Gu Hao would stand up to defend her.
Xiao Mei choosing Gu Hao as a desk mate was probably due to these reasons, either as a backup or to gain some benefits from him.
Mingzhu could clearly see through this, and so could Li Hui.
But since Xiao Mei and Gu Hao were willing participants, neither of them said anything.
That day, when Mingzhu entered the classroom and just sat down, Tang Feiyu came over.
He dragged a chair to sit beside Mingzhu: "Do you have any plans for this weekend?"
Mingzhu thought for a moment: "Nothing in particular."
"Weâre planning to go out and have some fun. Do you want to join us?"
Tang Feiyu looked at Mingzhu eagerly: "Can Ming Yu come along too?"
It was clear he wanted to see Ming Yu, Mingzhu smiled: "I canât say for Ming Yu, but honestly, Ming Yu might be going to the research institute on Sunday."
Tang Feiyu looked disappointed: "Why is she working so hard?"
"She doesnât see it as hard work; she likes it that way. She doesnât want to waste time and life playing meaningless games with us."
Mingzhu shrugged, as if helpless: "Besides, if you want to go out with her, you should tell her directly, not use me as a messenger."
Tang Feiyu blushed: "Alright, I got it. I wonât trouble you again."
Xiao Mei sat in the back row, watching Tang Feiyu and Mingzhu chat animatedly, a spark of jealousy ignited in her eyes.
Gu Hao was talking to Xiao Mei, but she wasnât listening. Gu Hao had to tug on Xiao Meiâs clothes to get her attention, and then she turned and smiled at Gu Hao: "What is it?"
Gu Hao handed Xiao Mei a cup of milk tea: "Just bought this for you."
Xiao Mei thanked him, just about to lower her head to drink. Suddenly, a hand came over, slapping the milk tea out of her hand and onto the floor.
"Shameless thing, do you even know what you are? A whole family of troublemakers, and you dare to covet my son."
A chubby middle-aged woman who looked quite like Gu Hao had come in at some unknown time.
She was full of anger, standing with her hands on her hips, pointing at Xiao Mei and scolding her loudly.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Gu Hao quickly stood up to stop Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu stretched out her hand and smacked Gu Hao aside: "What am I doing? Iâm here to see what kind of fox spirit you are, ugh, truly shameless, just like your mother. Your family must be inherited this way, your mom was an old fox spirit, always seducing men to be mistresses, and you use the money your mom got from someone rich to seduce people at school, tsk, truly the crooked upper beam making the lower beam crooked."
Mrs. Gu scolded loudly, giving Xiao Mei a slap.
Xiao Mei was overwhelmed with shame and anger, covering her face and crying.
Mingzhu and several others saw the commotion was too much, some went to find a teacher, while others stood up to stop Mrs. Gu.
Mingzhu also went over to gently pull Mrs. Gu, politely saying, "Auntie, this is a school, causing a scene here isnât good. Itâs not just bad for Xiao Mei, but also not beneficial for Mr. Gu. If youâre upset, you can wait until after school to make a scene outside, but not in the classroom. You would affect everyoneâs learning..."
Mrs. Gu looked full of anger, as if recklessly scolding Xiao Mei, but she was actually rational.
Seeing Mingzhu hold onto her, her anger dissipated quite a bit.
She glared fiercely at Xiao Mei: "You quickly go to a different class, you canât sit with my son anymore, or Iâll beat you every time I see you."
When she looked at Mingzhu again, her face softened into a smile: "You must be Mingzhu. I know you, youâre a good kid. Auntie will give you face this time, Iâll leave now."
The class teacher of Class Three heard about the incident and rushed over, pulling Mrs. Gu out: "Mrs. Gu, letâs discuss this in my office, class is about to start, and the kids need to settle down."
Though still a bit angry, Mrs. Gu followed the teacher out.
After she left, Mingzhu looked at Xiao Mei and kindly said, "You should go wash your face, ideally get some ice to apply. If youâre really feeling upset, I suggest you take a day off and rest at home."
Xiao Mei wiped her tears, glaring at Mingzhu fiercely: "No need for your fake kindness; your family is full of hypocrites."
Those words made Mingzhu a bit angry too: "Xiao Mei, you better get this straight. I didnât cause this, and it has nothing to do with me originally. I stepped in to persuade Mrs. Gu to leave for the sake of being classmates. I know youâre angry, but you canât vent it on me without understanding the situation first."
Xiao Mei didnât back down even a bit, shouting loudly: "Itâs all your fault, your familyâs fault. Why canât I blame you? If it werenât for your dad being heartless, if he werenât such an ingrate, would I be in this state now? My mom is his sister, did he ever care? He let my mom be bullied without lifting a finger, and you just enjoy seeing my misery. Your whole family is disgusting, shameful."
A flash of coldness appeared in Mingzhuâs eyes.
Without a word, she slapped Xiao Mei several times: "Ignorant thing, who gave you the gall to insult my dad? Just because I didnât bother with you before doesnât mean I was afraid of you or in the wrong; I just found you annoying and didnât want to deal with you. Instead, you got bolder..."
Xiao Mei covered her face, looking at Mingzhu in disbelief.
Mingzhu had a face full of coldness.
At this moment, she somewhat resembled Su Mingyu in temperament.
"Living in the house my dad provided, taking rent from the shop my dad gave, attending the school he built, and still full of resentment. Ha, we donât know whoâs the heartless one, whoâs the ingrate."
As Mingzhu spoke, she pulled Xiao Mei out: "If you look down on our family, then donât stay at Peiying anymore. You should leave now."
