Qin Feng was feeling rather gloomy.
He was inexplicably nabbed last night.
After being questioned, he was released as there seemed to be no issue.
But because of that, he missed a potential chance encounter with An Nuonuo.
"Hmm? Something is strange."
Qin Feng scratched his head.
He noted the stares from the surrounding people were somewhat odd.
He reached the classroom door.
And when he attempted to enter, he was stopped.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Classmate, please let me in."
The two male students blocking him both had troubling looks on their faces.
One of them bluntly rebutted, "You are not worthy to enter this classroom. Scram, don't tarnish this place!"
"What happened?" Qin Feng was utterly confused.
Wasn't everyone getting along yesterday?
The other male student tossed evidence at him.
"Never thought you were this kind of garbage. I really want to beat you up. You were nabbed again last night, weren't you!"
Qin Feng took a look and nearly fainted!
Someone had completely exposed his dark past.
His eyes instantly reddened, similar to a starving wolf.
He looked extremely fearsome.
Having been on the streets since his teenage years, he naturally had a menacing aura.
However, Qin Feng usually kept it hidden.
This sight of him actually frightened the two boys blocking the classroom door.
At this moment, Jiang Xu walked out.
He directed the two male students to go back.
He addressed Qin Feng indifferently, "Would you like to save your face yourself, or should I help you to do so?"
Qin Feng was no fool. He immediately understood what was implied.
He spoke in a chilly tone, "Did you do this?"
"I didn't. I came here early in the morning, and everyone already knew." Jiang Xu shrugged, "Perhaps it's because you're too high-profile and someone dislikes you.
Anyway, if you leave now, at least some dignity is saved.
If teachers and the Director of Education are alerted, you'll have to go anyway.
You must have felt something was off from the way people looked at you when you entered the school today, right?"
Qin Feng was looking terrible at this point.
Though Jiang Xu denied it, Qin Feng was one hundred percent sure.
That this incident, was surely his doing!
Jiang Xu patted his shoulder, "Now you have incurred public anger.
Even if the school does not expel you, you can't continue here.
Maybe they'll knock you out while you walk around today.
Or perhaps someone will pour boiling water on you in the cafeteria tomorrow."
Qin Feng's face changed with uncertainty.
He couldn't help but look towards An Nuonuo in the classroom, quietly reading a book, as if detached from the world.
Originally...
This time, he had planned to focus wholeheartedly on capturing An Nuonuo's heart.
Later, when she becomes successful, she can just take care of him.
Who would have thought that he might get expelled just on the second day of attending this school.
"So it's you, Jiang Xu. I'll remember you, be careful out there," Qin Feng swore menacingly.
Now, he detested Jiang Xu to the core.
Believing that it was Jiang Xu who forfeited his future and a gorgeous girlfriend.
Jiang Xu laughed heartily, "Come on, bring more people. If you don't bring others to fight me, I'll even look down on you."
This made Qin Feng doubt even more.
This kid seemed utterly confident.
In the end, he left, defeated.
Because Jiang Xu was right; the school would not let him stay.
Otherwise, the students below...
Especially the female students — they'll tell their parents once they get home.
When the parents show up and make a scene at school, even the principal's position might be in jeopardy.
Once he stepped out of the school, Qin Feng dialed Zhang Xiaohui's number.
With a gloomy look, he recounted what had happened.
On the other end of the line, silence ensued.
Presumably, they hadn't expected Qin Feng to screw up so badly.
This son of a bitch had only been there for one day, and already he was ruined.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xiaohui said, "I'll give you fifty thousand. Leave Jiang City and don't come back for a while."
"No way. I've got a base in Jiang City," Qin Feng reflexively objected.
"You can either be left for dead on the street or go somewhere else. You pick."
After saying this, Zhang Xiaohui hung up.
Qin Feng immediately felt chilled to the bone.
On the way back to his classroom from the dining hall at noon, Jiang Xu received a call from an unknown number.
His eyes flashed.
He said to An Nuonuo, "You go ahead, I need to take a call."
"Oh, do you want an apple?"
She took two apples with her every day.
Jiang Xu nodded, "Yes, but I want you to peel it with your teeth."
An Nuonuo didn't respond to him. She quickened her pace and left.
Ever since they had made that promise for the future, Jiang Xu had grown more and more fond of teasing her.
Jiang Xu laughed heartily.
Only after An Nuonuo had walked away did he answer the call.
As expected, the call was from Zhang Xiaohui.
"Is this Xiao Xu?"
Jiang Xu replied indifferently, "This is Jiang Xu. Who's speaking?"
"I'm your Auntie Xiaohui. We met at An Feng's new house the last time."
"Oh, it's you. I should have known." Jiang Xu pretended to suddenly understand and started to 'warm up' to her:
"I thought you had a unique temperament and spoke politely. I could see you were by no means the type to destroy someone's family."
Zhang Xiaohui was quite pleased with the first part.
But the latter part dampened her spirits considerably.
She had known all along that Jiang Xu was aware of her affair with An Feng.
Since he'd brought it up, she decided not to pretend anymore.
She came right out with it, "Auntie will make it simple. Leave An Nuonuo and I will give you a million."
"Deal. When will you give me the money?"
Zhang Xiaohui: "What?"
Jiang Xu's decisiveness caught her off guard and left her in a daze for a while.
Jiang Xu urged her, "Well, what is it going to take for you to give me the money?"
"Not that." Zhang Xiaohui was flabbergasted, "I thought you were quite close with her. And you would sell your emotions for a million?"
This was completely different from what she had expected.
Jiang Xu nonchalantly said, "Emotions can't feed me. Just come straight to the point. What do I need to do to get the one million?"
Only then was Zhang Xiaohui convinced that Jiang Xu wasn't kidding.
That further dampened her mood.
If she had known this kid was such a realist, she wouldn't have wasted so much effort.
Having others pursue An Nuonuo, pulling strings to get Qin Feng into the school.
Zhang Xiaohui seriously said, "It's simple. This Saturday, ask An Nuonuo out.
Then tell her upfront that you guys should quit having any contact.
I'll be watching from the side. As soon as you say it, the money is yours."
Jiang Xu: "Sure. But what if after I say it, An Nuonuo refuses to leave?"
Zhang Xiaohui was confident, "That won't happen. Just go and do it."
When the time comes, she will 'accidentally' let An Nuonuo know that Jiang Xu gave her up for money.
At that point, she will certainly give up on Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu: "Alright, deal. You prepare the check."
After hanging up the call, Jiang Xu, humming a tune, returned to the classroom.
Putting a hand on An Nuonuo's delicate shoulder, he said, "Sis, there's a great money-making opportunity right now. Are you willing to cooperate?"
