Chapter 188: Gossip
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huo You looked at Zhao Feng with almost a pleading gaze. “Senior, help me. I really don’t want to go…”
The surrounding students had already started to look at the situation. They were whispering and passing on gossip in front of the people involved.
“Are those men in black suits here to look for Huo You? Who did she offend?”
“They look like He Yu’s men. Isn’t he in a relationship with Huo You? Why does it look like he’s trying to seize her by force…”
“You’ve read too many novels, haven’t you? The two families are on par, so how is this considered seizing her by force? However, it seems like Huo You looks very unwilling. Could she want to break up with He Yu?”
…
Huo You hadn’t wanted to blow up the matter of her being with He Yu, but now, her relationship with He Yu was like a dirty stain on a luxurious piece of clothing. The more she wanted to hide this stain, the more everyone had to look at it.
She subconsciously looked for help from people who had shown her kindness before and looked at Zhao Feng for help. “Senior, don’t let them take me away. I beg of you.”
Zhao Feng was a little hesitant. He had always had some chivalry for the weak, but he knew that Huo You wasn’t an innocent and kind girl and was hesitating on whether to get involved in this mess.
The man in a black suit looked at Zhao Feng as if he also wanted to see his reaction.
Zhao Feng was caught in a dilemma. If he were to help, Huo You was clearly a woman who didn’t know what was good for her and he wouldn’t get anything good out of it. If he didn’t help, as the vice president of the student union, it wouldn’t look good for him to remain indifferent as he watched his schoolmate being bullied.
However, Zhao Feng’s dilemma was quickly gone. The student union’s president helped the vice president make a decision.
It hadn’t been long since Si Huan arrived at the school gate. He asked the surrounding students about the situation and called out from afar, “Zhao Feng.”
Zhao Feng turned around and saw Si Huan walking through the path the students had cleared for him. Huo Tian and Bi Ying were behind him. These two people seemed to have just been pulled out of the laboratory by Si Huan. They both looked dispirited and lacked sleep.
Si Huan walked over to Zhao Feng’s side and glanced at him indifferently. Zhao Feng could see the dissatisfaction in his eyes and rubbed his nose guiltily. He knew that Si Huan didn’t want him to interfere in Huo You’s business, but they were all classmates. He couldn’t just watch as she was kidnapped.
Si Huan knew that Zhao Feng had some naive and pure chivalry in him. If it was in ancient times, he would be the kind of person who would lend a helping hand when he saw injustice. Although it was a little foolish, it was also rare.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Feng, who was often softhearted, was easily used by others.
Si Huan stood in front of his friend and said to the man black suit, “Did He Yu ask you to come?”
The man in a black suit nodded. “Yes, Mr. Si.”
Si Huan said, “Then take Huo You away. Don’t make it too ugly.”
Huo You’s face was pale as she glared at Si Huan angrily. “Si Huan!”
Si Huan met her gaze coldly. “Student Huo, what’s the matter?”
Huo You was furious at his nonchalant attitude. Her face flushed red and then turned pale. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, “Si Huan, to think that you’re the president of the student union. You saw your classmate being threatened with your own eyes. Not only did you not provide help, but you even added fuel to the fire. Are you worthy of the trust your classmates have in you?”
Si Huan looked at Huo You in surprise, not understanding why she was accusing him so righteously. Did she think that everyone in the world should follow her wishes?
Si Huan wasn’t too angry. Although he was young, he had seen many unreasonable people in the Si Family.
However, just because Si Huan wasn’t angry didn’t mean that Huo Tian would watch as Huo You treated him in this manner.
Huo Tian stopped midway in her yawn. She was stunned for a few seconds before she realized that Si Huan had been scolded by Huo You. Anger instantly rose from her heart. Without even understanding the situation, she strode forward and stood in front of Si Huan.
She said bluntly to Huo You, “Huo You, Si Huan is the president of the student union, not your butler. Why should he be responsible for your safety? You’re the one who caused this trouble! If you continue to be so unreasonable, I’ll beat you up!”
