Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhang Fu had just applied the medicine that Rong Qi had given him. Instantly, he felt the pain lessen significantly. But he wasn’t concerned about what kind of medicine it was; his mind was preoccupied with what would happen once the Duan family arrived and what Rong Qi would do.
“Rong Qi, maybe you should go home for now. We’ve already called Han Ning over. He’ll figure out a way to get here,” said Zhang Fu.
After all, the Duan family was one of the four great families in the capital, with immeasurable strength behind them. The Zhang family had some means, but compared to the Duan family, they weren’t on the same level. The Duan family could crush them with a flick of their finger.
Moreover, the Duan family was notorious for their retribution. Now that their only son had been crippled, they wouldn’t rest until Rong Qi had paid a severe price. However, Rong Qi, sitting in the chair, said, “If I don’t stay here, you’ll all be wasted. Instead of urging me to leave, you might as well go get me something to eat.”
“I’m on it,” Huang Hao said, turning to leave. But as he did, Xing Han walked in from outside.
“Dean Xing?”
Huang Hao and the others tensed, wondering if the Duan family had arrived so soon. Normally when Xing Han showed up, it meant trouble. The Cla.s.s 7 students watched nervously as Xing Han approached.
But when Xing Han came in, his face, which was originally stern, softened into a smile upon seeing Rong Qi surrounded by her cla.s.smates. He produced a thermos from behind his back and presented it to Rong Qi as if he were offering treasure. He said, “President Zhang insisted that I deliver this to you personally. It’s still hot; go ahead and eat.”
Everyone’s jaws dropped at the sight of Xing Han’s action. The usually disliked dean was unexpectedly warm to Rong Qi today.
“Dean Xing, what’s gotten into you?” they asked, dumbfounded. They couldn’t believe their eyes that Xing Han would cozy up to Rong Qi.
Xing Han placed the thermos down, straightened his posture, and reverted to his usual, irritable self. With his hands behind his back, he scolded, “Don’t you know your instructor can’t go hungry? Can you afford the consequences if something happens? A bunch of thoughtless kids. As for the fight in the cafeteria, prepare to be disciplined and we’ll be having a meeting with your parents!”
That was the annoying Xing Han everyone from Cla.s.s 7 knew. They returned to their defiant selves, giving him a dirty look before turning away in unison.
Suddenly, they all whipped back to face Xing Han, startling him.
“What did you say? Ms. Seven…”
Xing Han patted his chest and glared at the Cla.s.s 7 students. He was scared to death, thinking they were going to hit him! He said irritably, “What? Don’t you know? Rong Qi, she is…”
BANG!
“Who is Rong Qi? Come out here!”
Before Xing Han could finish his sentence, the infirmary door was violently kicked open. A well-dressed, fierce-looking woman with a designer bag stormed in.
Xing Han frowned and said, “Mrs. Duan, this is a university, not your home, please behave yourself.”
Mrs. Duan gave Xing Han a sinister glance, her voice rising, “My son got crippled in the university, Xing Han, and if you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation, this is far from over! I’ll ask again, who is Rong Qi? Hand her over yourself. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not holding back because of our past acquaintance.”
The fierce, imposing woman was none other than Duan Shujie’s mother. Her gaze swept the room and then fixed on Rong Qi, who was calmly sipping soup with a spoon.
Mrs.. Duan pointed straight at Rong Qi and asked, “Are you Rong Qi?”
