158: Powerful Confrontation

Ye Fei stood in front of Tang Rou, staring at her with a determined gaze. Tang Rou, already irritated, raised her voice, “Ye Fei, why didn’t you attend class last week?”

Though he knew Tang Rou was deliberately provoking him—after all, his family matters had become widely known across Wanghai—Ye Fei calmly responded, “I had some family issues to handle last week, so I couldn’t come.”

“Family issues aren’t a valid excuse. You skipped class without proper permission. Tell me, how should I punish you?” Tang Rou’s voice remained icy.

Though Ye Fei had been patient, Tang Rou’s repeated attempts to find fault with him began to test his limits. With a cold tone, he replied, “I informed Teacher Yu. I didn’t skip class without a reason.”

Tang Rou, now visibly angered, snapped back, “Then why wasn’t I informed?”

“Why would I need to tell you?” Ye Fei scoffed, his frustration rising. “I only needed to inform my class teacher.”
