Chapter 88: He Is Angry Every Single Day

The principal followed Gong Lu’s gaze and saw that he was looking at Ye Luo. Only then did he ask, "Shall I have her brought over?"

Gong Lu shook his head, indicating there was no need.

He cast one more glance at Ye Luo before turning to leave.

The principal turned with him.

"Principal!" Ye Wuqi suddenly came chasing up from behind. He did not call him "Brother Principal," only "Principal."

The principal’s body stiffened, but he still turned back with a smile.

Gong Lu also turned to look, clearly knowing that Ye Wuqi was coming for him.

"This is for you!" As soon as Ye Wuqi ran up, he slapped the unopened packet of wet wipes in his hand hard against the principal’s chest.

"Ugh, cough, cough, cough..." The principal was struck into a fit of violent coughing. He had known it would end up being taken out on him!

Ye Wuqi did not care whether the principal was coughing or not. He only twisted his features into a scowl, clearly displeased, and shot Gong Lu a fierce, silent glare before running back to the playground and sitting down again.

And because he had been facing away from everyone on the playground just now, no one had seen him glaring at Gong Lu. They all assumed he had only gone to speak to the principal.

"Qi..."

Watching Ye Wuqi run back, the principal opened his mouth as if to say something, but Gong Lu’s gaze stopped him, and he fell silent at once.

It was only after they had walked far from the playground, and after he had made sure that even Ye Luo, for all his extraordinary hearing, could no longer catch their words, that Gong Lu finally allowed the principal to speak.

"Young Master Qi seems angry," the principal said, handing the wet wipes to Gong Lu.

"He’s angry every day," Gong Lu said indifferently. He tore open the packet, pulled out a wipe, and began cleaning his right hand.

This was the hand that had just touched Gong Ran’s head. Dirty.

...

On the playground.

"Brother Qi, the big boss Gong is gone. Do you still want to beat up Gong Ran?" Seeing no sign of Gong Lu or the principal anywhere around, Yan Baba asked Ye Wuqi with obvious excitement.

Ye Wuqi was sitting on the ground, leaning back with both hands braced behind him. Hearing this, he glanced at Gong Ran and snorted. "What’s left to beat? Can’t you see she’s become timid as a quail?"

"She really has gone quiet a lot! She must truly be afraid of you!" Yan Baba said at once. Then, unable to curb his curiosity, he asked, "Hey, Brother Qi, what exactly is your background? Even the big boss Gong seems pretty wary of you, and he didn’t even step up for his little sister."

At this, Ye Luo looked toward Ye Wuqi, not missing the slightest change in his expression.

Ye Wuqi grinned, one leg bouncing lazily. "I don’t know whether he’s wary or not. I only know that whatever my background is, I’m absolutely not going to tell any of you."

Lei Xingxing smiled in his simple, good-natured way. "I think someone like the big boss Gong, being such an important person, ought to be fairly broad-minded. That’s probably why he didn’t bother making a fuss over such a small matter. It wasn’t because he was afraid of anything."

"You great ape, are you honestly that stupid?" Yan Baba reached out and gave Lei Xingxing a shove on the head. "Even if the big boss Gong is broad-minded, is that disgusting girl Gong Ran broad-minded?"

Before Lei Xingxing could answer, Yan Baba went on at once, "I wouldn’t believe it even if you killed me! That girl already went whining to the principal, and it was only because the principal was protecting Brother Qi that the big boss Gong went along with it and let the matter drop. Gong Ran probably knew Brother Qi’s background was formidable too, or else would that girl have been so obedient, not clinging to the issue and forcing it further? Would she just let it go like that?"

Ye Luo thought that although Yan Baba was sometimes a bit of a fool and a clown, he did have some brains.

Qin Zhaoyu had originally been lying flat on the ground, arms and legs spread wide, staring up at the sky. Hearing all this, he too was unable to resist the gossip and immediately turned his head to look at Yan Baba.
