As soon as he left, Mo Ran let out a huge sigh of relief. She hadn’t realized it until then, but now her legs felt weak, and her hands and feet were trembling.
It turned out that she had always been scared and nervous in his presence.
Mo Ran didn’t understand what Gu Yixuan’s last words meant. She could only take things one step at a time; after all, she had made up her mind to resist him to the end.
The next day, she went to school for classes. The principal did not blame her for messing up the competition, treating her as usual as if nothing had happened.
All the excuses she had prepared were of no use.
Back at school, seeing the lively students improved her mood and filled her with longing and enthusiasm for life.
This was the life she desired: simple, peaceful, and happy.
However, just two days into her tranquility, the school received explosive news: Gu Family, the buyers of the school, planned to turn this private high school into a hotel.
In other words, Qinghua Middle School would no longer exist in W City. The students would have to face transferring, while the teaching staff would have to deal with unemployment.
Hearing this news, Mo Ran’s first reaction was that this was Gu Yixuan’s retribution. He wanted to force her back, so he targeted the school.
Indeed, she soon received a text message from him.
’If you want to save the school, you know what to do.’
This Gu Yixuan, his tactics were just too despicable and shameless!
Also, did he overestimate her? Mo Ran was no saint; she wouldn’t compromise everything to become his woman just for everyone’s sake.
Determined to ignore the situation, Mo Ran faced each day with a mindset of counting each day as it came. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noveⅼfire.net
But on the very first day after receiving the news, the school erupted into disarray. First, the principal called an emergency meeting to brainstorm solutions. Then, the students went on strike, protesting the decision.
The entire school was in chaos, with no semblance of order.
Walking through the campus, Mo Ran could hear the despondent voices of students everywhere.
"Why did they decide to turn the school into a hotel? I don’t want to leave here; I don’t want to go to another school."
"I don’t want to either. I’ve made so many friends here. I won’t be familiar with anything at another school and definitely won’t be in the mood to study."
"I’ve been here for two years; I’m supposed to take the college entrance exams next year. If I transfer now, will my grades slip?"
