Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Clean Sweep? _1 Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Clean Sweep? _1 “Ladies can’t afford to fight! Do you know how many brawls I’ve been in every day since dating He Shasha?”
Leng Rui slowed down, gave his niece a once-over, and sighed softly, “You’re too weak, you could use a little exercise.”
Leng Ran stumbled, nearly falling down.
“Uncle… aren’t you a bit too partial?”
“Not at all!” Leng Rui felt rather aggrieved, “You’re smarter and more sensible than Shasha. She’s so naive; naturally, I need to take extra care of her.”
Only then did Leng Ran’s mood improve, a small smile twitching at the corners of her mouth, the urge to rage kept in check.
Leng Rui shook his head, pondering why these kids were all such a handful!
“Ah!” Spotting the punished He Shasha standing in the distance, Leng Rui abruptly stopped in his tracks.
“What’s wrong, uncle?”
“He Jinlan and Qiao Jingxuan are together now, and it is rumoured that their families plan to unite through marriage.”
To this Leng Ran reacted rather strongly, “Based on what? Has the Qiao Family lost their mind? They’re actually arranging a marriage with a bastard daughter? What do they take Shasha for?”
Previously, both families had expressed intentions for a union, hence why He Shasha was clinging to Qiao Jingxuan, treating him as her future husband.
Now, a wretched, illegitimate daughter, who was unworthy of seeing the light of day, had snatched away the man that rightfully belonged to He Shasha.
She wouldn’t gulp down this calm.
“Forget it! The likes of Qiao Jingxuan? He’s not even worthy of shining Shasha’s shoes.”
“We can’t let them off easy either.”
“Of course not. You think our Leng Family is that easy to bully?” Leng Rui’s lips curled up into a icy, chilling smile. “Let them jump around for a little while more. It’s not the right time to strike just yet.”
“Then, when’s the right time?”
“Perhaps… during the engagement party? Taking them all down in one blow?” Leng Rui confidently stated, “Besides, I believe there’s someone who’s even more keen on settling the score with them than us.”
“Like your new classmate, Miss Jiangnan Fei?”
“Her?” Leng Ran said in disbelief, “What’s it got to do with her? I’ll admit I misjudged her at first. She’s indeed amazing, way smarter than He Shasha, but she’s not smarter than me!”
Leng Rui couldn’t help but knight her on the head gently, “Look at you, so full of yourself. Don’t forget that the reason Shasha came to her senses was because of her. We can’t be too proud in life, and we certainly shouldn’t overestimate ourselves. Sending you here has proven to be the right decision.”
Despite their slow pace, they had finally arrived at the discipline office.
He Shasha had seen them both from a distance and was waiting impatiently, her big eyes wide.
“Let’s first resolve the current issue; I need to rush back later for something.”
The entire afternoon was unsettling for Class 1 of Senior Year Three. The headteacher lectured for forty minutes during the last class and even though the bell rang to signal the end of the school day, everyone remained without any sign of leaving.
Neither He Shasha nor Wu Shanshan were present, presumably being lectured at the discipline office. And the matter concerning Sun Xiaoxi, that grief-stricken look from the headteacher!
“You… how can you be so irresponsible? You’re not fit to be the flowers of the motherland, not worthy of being the future of the nation.”
“Every one of you spouts nonsense without thinking of the consequences. When a problem arises, you just push it away. No one is brave enough to come forward.”
“In over a decade of teaching high school students, I’ve never come across a group like yours.”
“I am deeply disappointed.”
“The face of Class One, Senior Year Three has been completely lost due to you all.”
The teacher stood on the podium, words shooting in all directions while the students kept their heads down, meek as quails.
PS: Good night, kisses.
