Xiao Ning stole a few more looks at Gong Jue. She kept feeling that something was wrong.
Had she seen this man somewhere before?
No.
This man was so noble and cold. He even had that bit of wild coldness compared to the reserved Bai Yeyuan.
He should be an influential figure, right?
How could she and Qiqi know such a person?
Then, he wasn't here to save Qiqi. Sigh.
"Are other men that good-looking? Hmm? Little Lemon, it seems that you've forgotten the first rule."
Bai Ye's cold and teasing voice rang in her ears.
Xiao Ning's thoughts were immediately pulled back.
Xiao Ning withdrew her gaze and said with a slight panic, "No, no. I'm not looking at anyone else. Little Uncle, thank you… for today!"
Thank you for helping me out and supporting me.
Thank you for believing that I didn't bully Bai Yingzhu.
Thank you… for standing by my side unconditionally.
As long as she thought of Bai Yinghu's despairing, jealous, and sobbing face, she felt that even if she went back and was "punished" by her uncle, what happened today would only be worth it.
How much of a slap was that to Bai Yingzhu's face?
It was too good.
But in the very next second…
Bai Yeyuan curved his lips into a smile. "I don't like people saying thank you verbally. I prefer actions."
Actions?!
Xiao Ning bit her lips and didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, Bai Yeyuan was in a good mood. He didn't need her answer and could entertain himself. "However, if it's you, I can consider it even if you thank me verbally. Oh, using… your mouth isn't bad either…"
Xiao Ning's small face flushed red.
What a mouth! This old pervert! Wasn't he afraid of going too far?
How evil.

In the discipline office.
Director Zhao directly expelled Gu Qiqi as her punishment.
"Are you the principal? You want me to withdraw from school?" Gu Qiqi laughed instead of getting angry. She looked at him coldly.
Director Zhao slammed the table. "Who cares about the principal? The disciplinary office has the final say in a student breaking the rules!"
Seeing that the two of them were arguing again, Mu Liuchuan had a splitting headache. He wanted to go up and dissuade them, but unfortunately, neither side listened to him.
This young business elite—who had always been at ease and in high spirits in the business world—was actually at a loss for words for a moment.
At this moment, he really wanted to blame Gu Qiqi.
Why was she so stubborn? Why didn't she know how to be more flexible?
Regardless of whether she had violated the rules or not, she had to lower her head and admit her mistake first!
He had already tried his best to speak up for her. Why didn't she cooperate?
Amidst his complaints, suddenly—
"Who cares about me? I want to know what my place is too!"
The door was pushed open again.
The old principal barged in angrily and glared at him.
Mu Liuchuan's eyes lit up. What a life-saving straw to clutch at!
"Principal…" Relying on his status as an outstanding graduate, he was once a famous figure in school. He greeted the principal politely.
Unfortunately, the truth slapped him ruthlessly once more.
The old principal didn't have the time to care about him.
Instead, he walked straight to Gu Qiqi and said cordially, "Classmate Qiqi, I've let you suffer. Don't worry, our Imperial Medical University has a strict school policy. We definitely won't slander our students casually…"
"Old man principal, are you trying to interfere in my work?" Director Liu's expression was extremely ugly.
The old principal frowned. "I advise you to understand the situation…"
Although he felt embarrassed for a moment as he had been caught badmouthing someone, he quickly dismissed it. "You should be the one understanding the situation! Our discipline team works independently and is directly accountable to the higher-ups! Even if you're the principal, you have no right to interfere with me!"
"He doesn't have the right but I have the right, don't you think?"
A cold question traveled over faintly.
