Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Misunderstanding

Seeing that Rong Zhi was truly oblivious, Bai Yang painstakingly acted as a commentator, explaining the matters on the forum to her, with many details added in.

Rong Zhi listened without expression, only reacting when he mentioned Qin Man Yue, "Oh, her."

A very ordinary tone, as if talking about a stranger.

Bai Yang’s mouth twitched.

Just this?

Look at their boss, chased for three years without any response, Rong Zhi just arrived and immediately got special attention from the class flower. Having a pretty girl like you, shouldn’t you be jumping with joy?

Rong Zhi was tired from standing and casually sat down on the chair placed by the hospital bed, with his eyelids slightly raised and speaking leisurely, "There are cameras in the classroom."

This meant she didn’t threaten Qin Man Yue to do anything, if you don’t believe it, go check.

Ying Hengyu has lived for eighteen years and never felt so speechless because of his mom.

Someone was so open and aboveboard; clearly, that wasn’t the case.

It was he himself who went over the top, unknowingly stirred up trouble, and got taught a lesson by the opponent.

Rong Zhi asked all she needed to, feeling quite tired, yawned, got up to leave, and Ying Hengyu immediately spoke, "Wait."

She paused slightly, tilted her head slowly, "Something up?"

Ying Hengyu only realized then that Rong Zhi was really good-looking.

Just her profile was enough to make Ying Hengyu, who fancied himself as the school heartthrob, feel inferior.

It’s not surprising that Qin Man Yue would be interested in her.

Mr. Ying lowered his proud head, pursed his lips, slowly and dryly said: "Misunderstood you... I’m, I’m sorry."

Bai Yang and Wentianhui, the two who had been Ying Hengyu’s sidekicks the longest, seemed like they had seen a ghost upon hearing his apology.

Wow.

Mr. Ying, who was always overbearing in Beijing, apologized?!

Rong Zhi glanced at their reactions and knew that this was probably something Ying Hengyu had never said before.

She turned around, walked close to Ying Hengyu, and the latter thought she was dissatisfied and was going to make a move; the residual pain caused him to reflexively shrink back.

Realizing he was afraid of Rong Zhi to the point of shrinking back made him feel ashamed, and he stiffened his neck to meet her gaze.

Rong Zhi raised her brows, reached out, and pressed on Ying Hengyu’s trembling body, her fingers pressing a few times on the back of his neck.

The whole process lasted less than ten seconds, so fast that Ying Hengyu didn’t even have time to react before she withdrew her hand.

"I’ve apologized, you still want to..."

Ying Hengyu paused.

Huh.

Seems like it doesn’t hurt anymore?

He jumped off the bed, bounced twice, moved his neck, moved his hands.

Everything was normal.

Really doesn’t hurt anymore!

Looking at the elegant back of the youth, Ying Hengyu’s brain froze and he blurted out, "Rong Zhi, you really know witchcraft!"

Rong Zhi: "..."

Hopeless.

...

Principal’s office at Mingwu High School.

Yao Xiaoshan unfolded the laptop and placed it on the table for easy viewing by several parents.

Next to her stood a woman wearing a dark red elegant long dress, her hair styled in a bun at the back of her head, makeup sophisticated, and exuding elegance.

This was Ying Hengyu’s mother, Mrs. Ying, Shen Ting.

"What does the forum post have to do with my son? It’s a fact that Rong Zhi hit Hengyu."

Shen Ting stated the facts in a very calm tone, as if the injured one wasn’t her son.

Yao Xiaoshan knew but still subjectively favored Rong Zhi a bit, "Mrs. Ying, the school doctor has already provided the injury report for Ying, and he’s not injured."

"Just because it’s not visible externally doesn’t mean there’s no internal injury," Shen Ting’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she laughed lightly with a hint of sarcasm, "Seems like there’s truth in the forum explosion."

This comment was dripping with sarcasm, reminding those present of the post just now exposing the hidden scandal of Rong Zhi entering the school.

However, Ying Hengyu was in fact not that clean either.

He only climbed with a good dad, enjoying the shade of his family.

Shen Ting firmly believed Rong Zhi was a Rong Family illegitimate child, which is why he dared to be so reckless.

Seeing that there were only the principal and teachers in the principal’s office now and no one from the Rong Family had arrived, that spoke volumes.

Yao Xiaoshan, aware of her shortcomings, pressed her lips together without speaking.

Yu Nian bit his lip wanting to refute, but she held him down.

They were just ordinary teachers, and it was very disadvantageous against the wealthy Mrs. Shen Ting.

Inside the room, the stalemate became especially evident when knocking sounds resonated clearly.

Principal Ming raised his voice, "Come in."

The door opened.

A kindly-looking old man walked in.

Principal Ming immediately stood up and called out, "Housekeeper Lu."

Lu Zhao nodded with a smile, "Principal Ming." He glanced sideways, and his smile faded slightly, "Mrs. Ying."

Originally, the Rong and Ying Families were relatives, but since that incident eighteen years ago, the relationship instantly became nominal.

Shen Ting glanced at him; unable to provoke since he was favored in front of Old Sir Rong, she nodded slightly, sneering, "My little sister-in-law is not coming?"

The little sister-in-law was called Ying Man, and before getting married, she ranked fifth in the Ying Family.

Lu Zhao didn’t care about her casualness, but just looked at Principal Ming gently, "I’m here on behalf of my family’s old man, sorry for the trouble the Third Young Master caused to your school."

The air was still for a moment.

What did this mean?

Ying Man didn’t come, but the old man from the Rong Family sent someone, what does that imply, it implies that Rong Zhi is valued by the old sir!

Being addressed respectfully by Lu Zhao as Third Young Master proves Rong Zhi’s status is far more than just an illegitimate child.

If truly an illegitimate child, would Lu Zhao be standing here?

The rumors hadn’t been investigated, yet they fell apart on their own.

Shen Ting’s face stiffened slightly, but soon softened, "Since Housekeeper Lu is here, let’s discuss compensation. Hengyu is still lying on the hospital bed, and the doctor said he needs to stay for at least a week."

"Consider the medical expenses, necessary nutrition fees, a bit close to five million."

Yu Nian instinctively spoke out, "Five million is too much, Ying wasn’t hurt that badly!"

Yao Xiaoshan, "Teacher Yu!"

This wasn’t the time for them to speak.

Shen Ting laughed meaninglessly, staring at Lu Zhao, "Five million is just a conservative estimate, Hengyu’s injuries still need to be sent to a big hospital for further examination, follow-up costs, Housekeeper Lu should also cover them."

Lu Zhao pursed his lips.

Before leaving, Rong Fangjun said that if it could be settled privately, no matter the amount, as long as the Ying Family was willing to let the matter go, it should be agreed upon.

But Shen Ting’s words were obviously asking for way too much, aiming to strike a severe blow to the Rong Family financially!

He exhaled, just about to speak—

"I’m fine, what compensation, no need for compensation!"

An arrogant voice came from behind.

Everyone turned their heads to look outside.

The door wasn’t closed when Lu Zhao entered earlier.

Now, outside the door, stood two tall teenagers, the one on the left slightly shorter, yet his aura firmly suppressed the one on the right.

Ying Hengyu was really afraid Shen Ting would demand compensation from Lu Zhao and hurriedly walked over to her side, frowning, "Enough mom, I’m fine, no need for compensation."

Displeasure flashed across Shen Ting’s face, seemingly surprised that he would suddenly be well, even appear here.

She said in a deep voice, "I’m discussing matters with Housekeeper Lu, what are you interrupting for."

After finally catching the Rong Family in wrongdoing, how could she possibly let it go easily.

Ying Hengyu, raised in luxury, didn’t understand the grievances of elders, just persuaded Shen Ting, "Mom, I’m really fine, if you don’t believe me, I’ll jump twice for you to see."

After he finished speaking, he really did jump twice, nearly bumping into an antique vase placed on Principal Ming’s table.

After jumping, he raised his eyebrows, "Believe me now? It was my wrongdoing in the fight to begin with, I’ve already apologized to Third Brother, and he forgave me, so let’s consider this matter resolved."

After listening, Shen Ting froze, "Third Brother?"

He was the eldest son of this generation of the Ying Family, where did the Third Brother come from?
