Chapter 40
Young Master Li, You Will Regret This in The Future
“Me?” Hearing the news, Ruan Mengmeng could no longer keep up the innocent-young-sister image that she had been faking.
She turned around to look at Li Junyu and pointed at herself with her index finger. Her face was plastered with shock.
Although she really wanted to see Ruan Jiaojiao get humiliated, she never even thought of vying for the position of student council president.
She was okay with allowing herself to play video games, play truant, or even partic.i.p.ate in high school interschool sports compet.i.tion to make her school proud.
However, holding a position as the student council president had always been a job that belonged to good students; she had never been a.s.sociated with those.
Out of her expectation, after listening to Li Junyu’s orders, the school director showed no shred of hesitation.
He responded immediately, “Don’t worry, Young Master Li, I’ll make sure your requests are met. Our school rule dictates that the student council election will be held in the first month of every new semester. In a month’s time, the position of student council president will be in Miss Ruan’s hands.”
“Very well.” Li Junyu nodded. Despite being quite displeased with the timeframe, it was still acceptable to him.
Li Junyu raised his chin and looked at the school director in a condescending manner, “Leave us.”
Clearly, Young Master Li had something to say to his younger sister in private.
Although the director was very curious about this Miss Ruan—why would she have the surname ‘Ruan’ when Li Junyu claimed she was his ‘younger sister’—he did not dare ask and turned around to leave.
On the surface, Li Junyu was merely the most powerful member of the school’s board of directors.
However, only the school director was aware of Li Junyu’s true ident.i.ty.
“Wait.” At that moment, the man’s deep voice rose again.
The director froze in his footsteps immediately. “Young Master Li, is there anything else I can help you with?”
Li Junyu lowered his voice to a minimum. It was stricter and colder than his tone earlier. “Keep this a secret, as usual. Deal with it like how you dealt with Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master’s cases.”
“Yes, yes, I understand… Rest a.s.sured, Young Master Li.” The director wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead, feeling grateful that he had never been a chatterbox and managed to avoid accidentally revealing the fact that two sons from the Li family were studying in Wisdom Private Academy.
The Li family had always preferred to be low-key.
The Li family, despite being the richest family in S Country and aristocracy unknown to the world, very few people knew what the current members of the Li generation looked like.
The only person who did not bother keeping a low profile was the unruly Second Young Master, Li Junting.
It seemed like from now on, Miss Ruan would have the same arrangement as the third and fourth young master—no one could know that the Li family behind her back even if she was studying in Wisdom.
…
The moment the director walked off, Ruan Mengmeng sensed an immediate shift in the mood of the man next to her.
While he had appeared to be casual and laid-back just now, even a little affectionate toward her, he retracted his huge palm that was resting on her head.
Li Junyu pulled away from Ruan Mengmeng. With a subtle peek, he scanned her from head to toe with his pair of cold, indifferent eyes.
In a split second, Ruan Mengmeng detected a cold suffocating aura in the air beginning to envelop her.
She felt uncomfortable. She raised her small face and asked without waiting for him to react, “You have something to tell me?”
She had been sitting next to him obediently the whole time. She did not seem to recall offending him.
She could not wrap her head around how rapidly the man’s emotion could change.
“Like I said, as long as you follow my orders, to the outside world, I can be your big brother and help you deal with any trouble that comes your way.”
The man’s deep voice echoed in the s.p.a.cious office.
Compared to when he was coaxing her, his tone was distinctly calm and nonchalant, as though they were discussing a regular business deal.
“In fact, I can help you de-escalate everything that happened between you and the Ruan family’s illegitimate daughter, and the slander against you.”
When he spoke of this, Li Junyu suddenly shifted his body closer, reducing the distance between both of them. His long, slender fingers latched onto Ruan Mengmeng’s chin.
The gentleness and heartache in his eyes from earlier were long gone. His eyes exuded nothing but the coldest and penetrative threats.
“But… You need to stop fooling around. The best cla.s.s, the position as the student council president… I will provide you with only the best. And you. The only thing you have to do is to act like a proper daughter of the Li family and relieve my father and your mother of their worries. In other words, I don’t want to see any nonsensical answers in your a.s.sessment test that will take place in a week’s time.”
