Chapter 49: Su Hua and Qin Ruoyao Meet
Those students all looked at Qin Ruoyao.
Qin Ruoyao was too embarrassed to lift her head, holding the apology letter, slowly moving up to the stage.
“Today, in front of the whole school, I apologize to Brother Lin Xuan and the school. I shouldn’t have disregarded propriety and asked Brother Lin Xuan to buy me a necklace. After being criticized by the teacher, I deeply realized my mistake…” Qin Ruoyao read from the script in her hand, never daring to look up the entire time.
Upstairs, Su Hua wasn’t paying any attention to Qin Ruoyao; she was watching Lin Xuan the whole time.
“Jiang, don’t you think Ah Xuan is very handsome and outstanding?” The beautiful woman rested her chin on her hand, smiling.
Jiang’s face stiffened for a moment; this was a deadly question.
Saying he’s not handsome would imply that Su Zong has poor taste, but saying he’s handsome might make Su Zong overthink it, suspecting Jiang of having designs on Young Master Lin.
“Su Zong, you know my background when I was young,” Jiang carefully said, “I’m immune to love and men, so I can’t tell if someone is handsome or not. But whoever Su Zong likes must be very handsome and excellent.”
“Hmm.” Su Hua slightly curved her lips, “Indeed, ever since I met him, he’s always been very excellent and handsome.”
Jiang: “… Su Zong, come on now, was the old Lin Xuan really handsome? Excellent?”
Clearly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
“Knock knock.” A knocking sound rang out as Jiang went to open the door, revealing the assistant to the principal.
“Su Zong, it’s almost your turn to speak.” The assistant respectfully said.
“Hmm.” Su Hua stood up and walked downstairs, passing by the assistant who momentarily lost focus.
Su Zong was truly stunningly beautiful, even making her own heart race.
Qin Ruoyao finished reading her apology in front of the entire school, her eyes red and swollen. She didn’t dare to look up, afraid to see everyone’s mocking and disdainful gazes.
“Principal, I feel a bit unwell in my stomach. Can I leave for a moment?” Qin Ruoyao choked back tears near the principal.
The principal sighed, “Go ahead.”
Qin Ruoyao lowered her head and left through the side door, just in time to bump into Su Hua coming down the stairs.
It’s her!
Qin Ruoyao clenched her fists tightly, her face pale with anger.
This woman made her lose face in front of the whole school, she must be gloating!
Qin Ruoyao continued walking with her head down.
“Qin Ruoyao.” Su Hua’s voice was icy.
Qin Ruoyao stopped in her tracks, her fists clenched tightly at her sides.
Su Hua walked over and coldly said, “You writing this apology today was my doing. I told the principal about your improper conduct.”
Qin Ruoyao couldn’t hold back anymore, her hateful eyes glaring at Su Hua.
“You rich people can do whatever you want because you have money and power, right? Even if I don’t have much money, I’m still a person! Why should I be humiliated by you like this!” Qin Ruoyao shouted loudly, acting as if Su Hua was using her authority to oppress her.
She just asked Lin Xuan to spend some money on her, what was wrong with that? And it didn’t even succeed, did it?
Jiang shook her head; this Qin Ruoyao had guts to talk to Su Zong like this. If it weren’t for Su Zong fearing Young Master Lin would tear things apart, Qin Ruoyao’s grave grass would already be three zhang high.
The principal’s assistant was scared cold.
“You rich people, you may have money now, so what?” Qin Ruoyao clenched her fists tightly, “That doesn’t mean you’ll have it forever! And we poor people might also rise to prominence someday, don’t gloat too early!”
Lin Li loves her now, even if she marries Lin Xuan, Lin Li will still remain devoted to her. She will eventually marry Lin Li and become the Young Mistress of the Lin family.
She doesn’t believe this woman could be more powerful than the Lin family. When she marries Lin Li, she will definitely crush this woman underfoot!
Su Hua remained calm throughout.
Qin Ruoyao also noticed Su Hua’s gaze on her. What kind of look was that? Like she was some sort of clown!
Yes, a clown!
She was the school flower of Shangqing University, pursued by countless men, her academic performance was also top-notch, everything she had now was earned through her own efforts. This woman, however, relied solely on inheriting her family’s power. How dare she look down on her like that?
“Tsk.” Su Hua gave a light laugh, “Even if I am oppressing you with power, so what? Who lets me have power while you don’t? So you can only let me control you.”
Su Hua completely changed her previous lazy demeanor, her gaze suddenly becoming sharp.
That powerful aura almost suffocated Qin Ruoyao.
“Qin Ruoyao, people like you, I usually wouldn’t bother with, but how dare you try to touch my man?” Su Hua narrowed her eyes.
“Lin Xuan is my man. If you cross my line, your proud face will be ruined by me, and your little life won’t exist either.”
Su Hua licked her lips sickeningly; she was trained as an assassin from a young age and loved killing.
Qin Ruoyao’s eyes were filled with fear.
For some reason, an image popped into her mind—Lin Li was tied to a cross by this woman, dying drop by drop, while she herself was bitten to death by a white tiger.
No, that won’t happen!
This is a rule-of-law society, how could this woman have the audacity to kill them?
Su Hua retracted her oppressive aura, giving a faint smile, “Chen Assistant, isn’t it time for me to go on stage?”
“Yes.” The assistant quickly gestured, “Su Zong, this way please.”
Qin Ruoyao’s eyes flashed.
This woman was going to participate in the opening ceremony too. When she complained to Luo Yuan, Luo Yuan promised to help her get justice publicly. This woman’s face would surely be lost entirely.
People of her status care most about their dignity, they will surely be utterly humiliated soon.
How could she miss such a good show?
Qin Ruoyao changed her original plan and returned to her seat.
“Yao Yao, are you okay?” Li Siyu asked with concern.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” A cold glint passed through Qin Ruoyao’s eyes.
Li Siyu was full of doubts; just now, Yao Yao looked so painful when she left, but now she seems happy?
On stage, the principal held the microphone, racking his brain for an impromptu speech.
“Everyone, in the upcoming semester, you must study hard, love your classmates, not just read books blindly, but participate in more practical activities…” The principal wiped the sweat off his forehead. How come Su Zong hasn’t arrived yet? He’s running out of things to say.
The students below looked extremely impatient.
“Damn, from elementary school to university, these principals, vice-principals, deans always drone on endlessly, repeating the same stuff over and over again. I wish I could tape their mouths shut. How can they talk so much?”
“Isn’t that true? This is always the hardest time for me.”
Finally, the assistant appeared below the stage, nodding to the principal.
The principal’s eyes lit up; finally, it’s over!
“I’m sure you’ve all gotten tired of listening to me ramble on, right?” The principal chuckled lightly, just being polite.
Unexpectedly, the students below shouted in unison: “Yes! We don’t want to listen anymore!”
