Chapter 316: Rong Qi’s Gaze Was Weary
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Due to that commotion, people around were turning their gaze, whispering among themselves.
“What’s going on? How does Rong Qi know those gangsters?”
“It’s normal for her to be involved with the gangsters. Haven’t you heard about the incident where Rong Qi beat up the members of Class 1? She was about to be expelled, but then that nouveau riche arrived and managed to suppress the matter.”
“Yeah, yeah, that’s right. 1 heard that dozens of men in black showed up, directly surrounding the instructor’s office. To protect the students in her class, Mr. Tang Lin and Vice Principal Qiu had to compromise and let Rong Qi act recklessly.”
“But isn’t that going too far? Isn’t there anyone supervising?”
“Supervise? How are they gonna supervise? Haven’t you seen this group of people blatantly coming to the campus of Capital University to support Rong Qi?”
“But, the banner says an apology. It doesn’t seem like what you’re saying.”
“Hah, you don’t understand this. Maybe they’re deliberately acting cute to the backers behind them, making them come and stage this play, right?”
The surrounding discussions became more and more absurd.
Rong Qi restrained the impulse to hit someone and lowered her head, pretending not to know them, as she walked to the side.
However, as soon as Rong Qi moved, the group immediately surrounded her, forming a tight circle around her. They stood in a neat line, their movements synchronized. That scared the onlookers several steps back.
“Are they going to fight?”
The faces of the crowd turned pale with fear.
However, the group of people in black uniformly bowed to Rong Qi and said, “We’re sorry, Miss Rong! Please forgive us!”
Their voices were loud and their presence intimidating.
Rong Qi gasped and said, “No… there’s no need. This is a university; you should leave quickly.”
However, Eagle suddenly bent over, walking forward like a camel with its head lowered, and said, “No, we were wrong. We just apologized to Miss Lu Qi a moment ago, and now only you are left. If you don’t forgive us, we won’t stand up.”
‘Is that a form of blackmail?’ Rong Qi thought. The corners of her lips twitched as she fixed her gaze on a spot behind, giving a meaningful look to Xu Yi, ‘Can you handle these people and throw them all out?’
However, Xu Yi was still standing there with his mouth agape, enjoying the spectacle. When his gaze swept over Rong Qi’s expression, he looked puzzled, even winking at Rong Qi vigorously, ‘Madam, did something get in your eye?’ Seeing Xu Yi’s confused and amused expression, Rong Qi understood that he clearly hadn’t grasped her intention.
Rong Qi furrowed her brow, tilting her head to Xu Yi again, signaling with her chin toward the group of people. This time, she made it very obvious and hoped Xu Yi could understand.
Sure enough, Xu Yi nodded discreetly, then… crossed his arms and continued to watch the show.
Rong Qi widened her eyes and thought, ‘Why aren’t you doing anything? What are you standing there with your arms crossed for?’
At that moment, Xu Yi also flashed a bright smile at Rong Qi and thought, ‘1 thought Madam wanted to have a one-on-one with them? Why is she just standing there without moving? 1 had already heard about her record and was eager to witness it myself. Now, 1 finally had the chance. But, why did she look at me with such a weary expression?’
Seeing Xu Yi’s inexplicable excitement, Rong Qi felt exhausted. She turned her head to Eagle and the others, saying, “You really don’t need to go to such lengths. Nobody will trouble you anymore. Just leave quickly. I still need to go to class.”
“Then, does that mean you forgive us, Miss Rong?” Eagle asked.
“Yes….”
