This slap.
Gods and men are outraged!!
Lu’s mother crouched on the ground, looking up in disbelief, "Jinghong, you, you..."
"Mom, don't say that anymore. Qin Xuan must die, do you understand?"
Lu Jinghong revealed a devilish smile.
Lu's mother staggered away in despair.
Without saying another word.
She really couldn't believe that her own good son, whom she had raised with her own hands and was praised endlessly, would actually be like a demon!
Lu Jinghong's smile faded away, and his eyes became increasingly somber. He muttered to himself, "Before you die, I have to figure out one thing first - where exactly did I lose to you... I hope you'll attend that grand event in a few days too.
No matter who is standing behind you, after I get the answer, you will undoubtedly die!"
...The next day.
Qin Xuan came to school.
Walking on the road, he frequently heard some students mention the grand event that would take place in two days.
It seemed as if being invited to participate was comparable to their ancestral graves sprouting green smoke, making them feel honored.
When he arrived in the classroom, Qin Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiang TianGe didn't come to make trouble, probably just angry words yesterday.
As always, Xia Wanying brought breakfast for Qin Xuan. Although it was often the same and not particularly tasty, Qin Xuan would always eat it up cleanly.
"You go to work part-time every day, and you look exhausted. Don't spend money on me." Qin Xuan said.
"It's no trouble."
Xia Wanying shook her head and said softly, "I won't be living on campus soon. I can cook for myself then, I'm just afraid it won't suit your taste..."
She was really so obedient.
In this turbulent society, she was like a stream of pure clarity. Every move, every glance, carried a gentle warmth like water.
Qin Xuan subconsciously reached out and pinched her cheek.
It was a little bouncy.
A boy who had never tasted the forbidden fruit didn't know that these casual little actions were plucking at the girl's heartstrings...
Xia Wanying bit her lip, her face flushed red like a chili pepper. She quickly turned her head away, her heart pounding as if it would jump out of her throat.
Just then.
A classmate ran in, his face bruised and swollen, crying messily.
"What happened to you?" Someone asked anxiously.
"It's all Qin Xuan's fault!"
This classmate pointed at Qin Xuan from afar, accusing him in a voice choked with sobs, "I don't know what he did to offend Lu Jinghong, but just because I'm in the same class as Qin Xuan, as soon as I walked out, someone came up and beat me!"
There was a sudden commotion in the classroom.
Offending Lu Jinghong?
Things were still fine yesterday, and Lu Jinghong himself had come forward to mediate. And there was the banquet he hosted last night.
Could it be that at last night's banquet, Qin Xuan didn't know better and offended even Lu Jinghong to death!
Before people could react.
Wu Han, Liu Xiao Li and the six girls from their dorm, including Song Changdong whom Qin Xuan had said he would look out for, all came in with ash-gray faces.
That's not all.
Behind them, Yang Hao from the taekwondo club came in with a group of club members. They all had bruises on their faces.
Especially Yang Hao, who had publicly fawned over Qin Xuan last time. His mouth was still bleeding now, looking extremely miserable!
Except for Xia Wanying.
All the people at school who were on good terms with Qin Xuan, regardless of gender, were beaten without exception!
Boom!
A surge of unnamed anger rose in Qin Xuan's heart. He shouted on the spot, "What's going on?"
Yang Hao spoke first, "I want to ask you too, what exactly did you do to offend Lu Jinghong last night? Just because I was nice to you last time, I was targeted too.
It's not just me, everyone in your class was watched too. As long as you stay at school for one day, these people around you will be beaten whenever they are seen once!"
In an instant, the classroom became chaotic.
Most people tried to stay as far away from Qin Xuan as possible at the first opportunity.
Although they knew Qin Xuan was no ordinary person after the Cheng Tao incident at Jinmei Garden last time.
But in their eyes.
Compared to Lu Jinghong, Qin Xuan was nothing!
Qin Xuan was first surprised, then immediately realized that he had heard before that Lu Jinghong was obsessed with Xiang TianGe.
So it was no surprise that Xiang TianGe's actions yesterday provoked Lu Jinghong, causing him to take out his anger on Qin Xuan.
Moreover.
The scene in the car was likely fully seen by Lu Jinghong as well. Qin Xuan remembered he didn't close the car window then!
"I thought he had decent cultivation, but it turns out he's actually an extremely sinister worm."
Qin Xuan felt it was laughable.
Lu Jinghong couldn't get Xiang TianGe himself, so when provoked, he could only take it out on others?
Regardless of Qin Xuan being Xiang TianGe's master uncle, even if they were completely unrelated, what business was it of Lu Jinghong's what the two of them wanted to do?
Who the hell did Lu Jinghong think he was!!
Seeing Wu Han, Song Changdong and the others suffering undue misfortune because of him, Qin Xuan felt deeply guilty.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Qin Xuan, filled with towering rage, rushed straight out of the classroom!
Not far away.
Chen Yan shook her head to herself: "I thought relying on Lu Jinghong would give him a chance to rocket to prominence, but unfortunately he still failed due to his personality. With a personality like his, he'll never get along well with others. He'll probably only regret it when he's old."
In a daze.
Chen Yan glanced at Xia Wanying and found that she looked on the verge of crying anxiously.
It wasn't hard to guess.
This girl, whose looks matched Xiang TianGe, had unknowingly captured Qin Xuan's heart.
Not knowing what motivated her, Chen Yan came to Xia Wanying's side and said softly, "Have you ever considered your own future?"
"Wha-what do you mean?" Xia Wanying didn't understand.
"You're probably very insecure because of your family background, but I can tell you clearly-"
"Even if you're just a vase, with a face and figure like yours, whichever rich or powerful family you choose after graduating will welcome you with open arms. Your future is brighter than any of ours."
Chen Yan sighed slightly, "You should also understand that the stiffest blade is the easiest to break. Some people are like that by nature, destined not to be worth your youth. Don't ruin yourself!"
"..."
Xia Wanying understood Chen Yan's meaning.
She was advising her to keep some distance from Qin Xuan, right?
As if compelled by some force, Xia Wanying softly said, "Do you...do you like Qin Xuan?"
"What did you say?" Chen Yan's expression changed dramatically.
"I often notice you staring at Qin Xuan blankly during class..." Xia Wanying's voice grew smaller and smaller.
At this moment, amidst Chen Yan's embarrassment, her eyes were also covered with some anger.
It was like some unseen things being suddenly exposed under the sun, giving her the feeling of having her clothes stripped off!!
"I kindly advise you not to ruin your future, yet you actually think I'm jealous?"
Chen Yan sneered. "Forget it if you won't listen. Anyway, your destiny is none of my business!"
Chen Yan walked away angrily.
At the same time, a surge of unstoppable blushing and heart-pounding she could not suppress no matter what frustrated her to no end!
...
School of Economics and Management.
Qin Xuan charged furiously to a building, his voice augmented by true qi was comparable to a loudspeaker, "Lu Jinghong, get the hell out here!!"
"Oh my god, this demon is making trouble again."
"And he's going after Lu Jinghong this time?"
"I think he's tired of living. Lu Jinghong was still mediating for him yesterday. How ungrateful!"
Many students rushed out of the classrooms.
Within just a flash, a large crowd had gathered around.
Even students from other majors had rushed over upon hearing the news!
At this moment, Qin Xuan stood alone in the open space.
The powerful aura made everyone not dare to approach.
He had never been afraid of trouble.
Any mess was welcome to come at him.
But Lu Jinghong targeting Qin Xuan's companions over personal grievances had clearly touched Qin Xuan's bottom line.
How innocent Wu Han, Song Changdong and the others were!!
Soon.
Jiang Feiyu, Dai Yunze, Shi Fan...and other familiar faces successively arrived.
But none of them stepped up as leader, choosing to watch from the sidelines instead.
After all, with Lu Jinghong not showing himself, Zhao Ming's fate last night made them have to proceed cautiously.
At this time.
A group of men and women who looked extremely prestigious strode up to Qin Xuan.
"Wen Zilin, the only son of the director of the city hospital!"
"Zhong Shuyang, the grandson of Professor Zhong Shiren!"
"Zheng Meiling, the darling of the Baolong Auction House boss!"
"Ma Fankai, the nephew of the Queen of Yun City Jewelry!"
"Cao Zhuo, the young master of one of the three underground powers in Yun City!"
"..."
From time to time, voices rang out, introducing the backgrounds of these people one by one, with involuntary looks of awe on their faces as they spoke.
In any circle, there is always a hierarchy.
Looking at this huge Yun City University, if judging purely by power and influence,
aside from the exceptionally mysterious Xiang TianGe,
Lu Jinghong stands alone!
Then there are people like Jiang Feiyu and Chu Qingya from the four big families.
Next come the people here now, who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Zhao Ming, Dai Yunze, and Shi Fan!
Usually, people on the level of Lu Jinghong and Jiang Feiyu don't show themselves in public much.
So it's no exaggeration to say these arrogant-looking young men and women are able to stir up storms in Yun City University!
"Haven't you caused enough chaos recently? Why have you come to the Business School again today? What are you trying to do?" Zhong Shuyang was the first to yell.
Zheng Meiling quickly followed, "You keep saying you want Lu Jinghong to get lost, have you forgotten how he helped you yesterday? Are you an ungrateful wretch?"
"I'm not looking for you, get lost," Qin Xuan said impatiently.
"Do you know who they are? Watch your attitude!"
"Zhong Shuyang's grandfather is Professor Zhong Shiren, yes, that esteemed Professor Zhong with outstanding medical skills from Yun Cheng Medical University!"
Someone next to him chimed in proudly, "As for her, her father is the boss behind Baolong Auction House, making money hand over fist. He could crush you with cash alone!"
