Chapter 1391: Chapter 1391: I’ll Cling to You Even as a Ghost
Initially, he thought this issue would just fade away, but Wang Fei made such a fuss that everyone ended up knowing about it.
But as long as he doesn’t admit to it, the matter wouldn’t blow out of proportion. Besides, Wang Fei was going to graduate in a year; just a bit more patience would be sufficient.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mo brought it up today, and he felt sowhat intimidated.
With Xiao Mo’s influence, he had significant clout in business and politics in C City. If this matter reached the Discipline Inspection Commission, his official position could be jeopardized.
“Mr. Xiao, so rumors are just rumors. I don’t usually handle these matters,” the principal said ambiguously.
“Oh.” Xiao Mo nodded, “Then I might have soone check into it soday.”
“Mr. Xiao,” the principal beca a bit anxious, “Wang Fei spoke insolently and hurt a student. He should be punished. Please, tell , how should we penalize him?”
“Uncle…” Wang Fei felt the situation was turning against him.
“Shut up!” the principal scolded.
“I’m not very familiar with school matters, you should decide, principal. This tampering with grades, paying for university admission, and more…” Xiao Mo frowned, seemingly contemplating, but did not continue.
“I know, the school absolutely does not allow such things. I will investigate thoroughly, and if the claims are true, I will advise Wang Fei to withdraw from the school,” the principal said righteously.
“Hmm,” Xiao Mo seed satisfied.
“Uncle, you can’t do this!” Wang Fei urged anxiously, “You can’t just take his word for it, he’s just spouting nonsense!”
Just then, the door was knocked on, and a middle-aged man entered.
Wang Fei rushed over eagerly: “Dad, uncle wants to expel . Please, speak up for !”
“Fine.” Xiao Mo exhaled a puff of smoke, said indifferently, “Principal, I’ll take my leave. I am taking Chuqing to see a psychologist. Don’t worry about the science museum project; starting next month, I’ll supervise it personally, guaranteeing its quality and eting the expectations of the whole school’s faculty and students.”
Xiao Mo remained calm, but the principal was visibly perspiring.
Xiao Mo’s words carried an implied warning, and he was not deaf to it.
After speaking, Xiao Mo didn’t want to deal with what they might argue about next; he simply walked away.
Xia Chuqing was squatting on the ground, drawing circles. She pouted her lips, deep in thought.
“Alright, let’s go,” Xiao Mo passed by her and headed straight for the stairway.
“Ah? Hey, wait for !” Xia Chuqing finally reacted, hurrying after him, not expecting things to move so fast.
As he passed by her, a faint sll of tobacco wafted from him. For so reason, her eyes inexplicably felt warm.
Having him by her side felt very reassuring, just like today when he stood up for her. Hiding behind him, she felt fearless.
She jogged to the stairway to stop him, not letting him leave, and cautiously asked, “What did you say to the principal? Did you really bad-mouth ? Will I be punished?”
“You’ll know once the notice is posted in a few days,” Xiao Mo said nonchalantly.
“Notice? Damn it, Xiao Mo, you freak, what did you say to the principal? You’re ruining my future!” Xia Chuqing threw a punch, looking frantic.
But Xiao Mo dodged quickly, grabbing her fist and pulling her close to him.
“Freak? You didn’t say that before. Let think, you clearly called a perfect gentleman.”
“Damn it, I take back everything I said. If I had known you were such a scumbag, I should have beaten you to death,” Xia Chuqing was truly infuriated.
Posting a notice obviously wasn’t a good thing; it was either a warning, probation, or expulsion. More importantly, it was humiliating.
Xiao Mo frowned and coldly warned, “Try swearing one more ti.”
“I… I…” Xia Chuqing was intimidated by his presence and withheld her next words.
Xiao Mo released her hand, straightened his shirt, and headed straight for the staircase.
“Are you just going to leave like that? Xiao Mo!” Xia Chuqing yelled anxiously from behind.
Xiao Mo didn’t turn back, not understanding what was going on, feeling sowhat confused inside. Seeing Xia Chuqing’s face, his breathing involuntarily quickened. This feeling of being controlled was uncomfortable, although no one dared to influence him.
“Hey, Xiao Mo!” Xia Chuqing kept chasing after him.
But Xiao Mo ignored her, he walked to his car and directly got into the driver’s seat.
Xia Chuqing tapped on the car window: “Xiao Mo, make yourself clear, what do you an? What did you tell the principal? Am I going to be expelled? Xiao Mo!”
Xiao Mo didn’t respond to her and started the car, driving out of the school.
Xia Chuqing chased after him for a few steps, but ultimately sat helplessly by the roadside.
Watching the bustling crowd, looking at the afterimages left by the cars, she felt saddened, with throbbing pain in her chest.
“Xiao Mo, if you hate , just hate , but you don’t have to take revenge, do you? You jerk, scumbag!” Xia Chuqing sat by the roadside, sobbing as she spoke.
During this period, she had cried all the tears she accumulated over more than twenty years for this person.
She gritted her teeth, feeling even more miserable as she cried, burying her head in her knees, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
“Xiao Mo… if I really get disciplined by the school, I’ll haunt you even as a ghost! Xiao Mo, I know you are wicked, but I didn’t expect you to be this malicious!” Xia Chuqing cursed bitterly, crying heartbreakingly.
She was not normally a person who cried, nor one who cursed at others, but facing Xiao Mo, she felt extrely angry, so angry that she could do anything.
She had heard people say that a man who loves you would never bear to make you cry.
But she alone knew how many tears she had shed for Xiao Mo.
Just last night she cried almost to depression, and now today she was cried by him again, he always had the ability to make her cry.
And his words about treating her as a sister, haha, Xiao Mo, is this how you treat your sister? Always making your sister cry?
The midsumr sun shone on her, and sweat seeped out on her back.
Her final exam revision was again ruined, in this state, she feared she might fail the finals.
“Xiao Mo, I’m not done with you!” Xia Chuqing still stood up, wiping away her tears.
She had already prepared for the worst, if she got expelled, she would squat at his house, Xu Chaomu would surely tell her his address.
But until the notice cos out, she needs to study properly.
Once she secures the only spot for a governnt-sponsored study abroad, once she goes to France, then they will truly never see each other again.
The sun shone on a black car; actually, Xiao Mo hadn’t driven too far, he circled around the school and stopped in another open space.
From there he could perfectly see Xia Chuqing’s figure, he looked at his watch, she had cried for a total of sixteen minutes.
It was the first ti he saw Xia Chuqing crying so miserably, was his joke too much?
He did not an to tease her, he was just too lazy to explain. Once the notice ca out, she would understand what was going on, but he didn’t expect her to cry.
