Chapter 32: 032Principal Hardrick Surprise Attack_1
Ye Chenxi first met Lu Qingyi at the airport in Yang City a year ago.
Ye Chenxi was feeling rather disheveled that day, as she had come to Yang City for tourism only to have her wallet, phone, and ID card stolen by a pickpocket.
Perhaps she found Lu Qingyi attractive, Ye Chenxi happened to see her and asked for her help. freewebnøvel.com
Though Lu Qingyi came off as cold, she had a good heart and helped Ye Chenxi.
Whether it was fate or coincidence, they happened to book rooms opposite each other in the same hotel.
Ye Chenxi shamelessly glued herself to Lu Qingyi, consistently seeking her company out of appreciation for her help.
Later, the two got familiar with each other. However, Lu Qingyi remained aloof the whole time, and all the warmth came from Ye Chenxi.
As a music student, Ye Chenxi volunteered to sing and play the piano for Lu Qingyi, only for the latter to outshine her.
Lu Qingyi not only pointed out Ye Chenxi’s wrong notes but even played better than her.
Therefore, Ye Chenxi shamelessly asked Lu Qingyi to teach her.
"Need a place to stay? Why don’t you stay at my place? We have plenty of guest rooms."
Ye Chenxi naturally had no idea of Lu Qingyi’s status. She thought Lu Qingyi lived far away and simply wanted to invite her over.
She likes Lu Qingyi immensely. The girl’s character is exactly to her liking.
"No need."
Lu Qingyi’s response was as indifferent as always.
"Sister Chenxi, Lu Qingyi is Lu Jiayue’s sister, the young lady of the Lu Group."
Someone whispered from the side.
"What?"
Ye Chenxi was stunned. She looked at Lu Qingyi incredulously.
She knew that Lu Qingyi was raised by her grandmother and that she never mentioned her parents.
Ye Chenxi looked at the nonchalant Lu Qingyi and asked, "Qingyi, do you have parents?"
Lu Qingyi looked up indifferently, "Assume I do."
Her tone was so casual it bordered on indifference.
"Qingyi..."
Ye Chenxi bit her lip, feeling sorry for Lu Qingyi.
Lu Qingyi was always quiet and didn’t show much emotion, but Ye could see that she had no affection for her so-called parents.
It seemed, she didn’t care at all.
"Qingyi, I’m going to the principal’s office now. I’ll come back and catch up with you later."
Ye Chenxi checked the time and said.
Lu Qingyi nodded in response.
"Sister Qing, you know Ye Chenxi?"
Jiang Yumeng watched Ye Chenxi leave the classroom and asked Lu Qingyi with a forced smile.
Jiang Yumeng was silent when Ye Chenxi entered just now.
She seemed to have something to say, yet held it back. The sadness in her eyes was unmistakable.
Lu Qingyi stared at Jiang Yumeng, "You have a problem with her?"
She noticed Jiang Yumeng’s emotions. The usually carefree girl seemed to change her mood the instant she saw Ye Chenxi.
"No, not at all."
Jiang Yumeng shook her head, pulling a troubled smile.
Right, she had no direct conflict with Ye Chenxi. But there was a layer of misunderstanding between them.
A layer that Ye Chenxi was not aware of.
Lu Qingyi raised an eyebrow, "Won’t say?"
"Really, Sister Qing. There’s nothing."
Jiang Yumeng shook her head.
Lu Qingyi remained silent, just looking at Jiang Yumeng.
"Get ready for the big cleanup, everyone. Follow the previous groups."
Yang Liu stepped out of the classroom, calling out to the students in Class 20.
Principal Hardrick was going to visit that afternoon. They didn’t have the exact news, but they had to ensure campus cleanliness in advance.
Although Class 20 was not academically outstanding, they were quite active in labor, and immediately started collaborating.
Lu Qingyi remained still.
"Qingyi, go and clean the windows."
The groups had been established a while ago, and at that time Lu Qingyi had not arrived. Yang Liu walked over to Lu Qingyi and said this.
"Okay."
Without making a fuss, Lu Qingyi began to move.
"Girl, you’re quite diligent."
Lu Qingyi was cleaning the windows when suddenly an old man stood by the window with his hands on his back, smiling amiably at her.
The laughter in his eyes was genuine, tinged with a hint of excitement.
Damn it!
Lu Qingyi’s expression changed, and the cloth in her hand fell.
She stared at the old man, rendered speechless. Her gaze quickly turned cold.
"Oh, don’t be upset."
The old man noticed Lu Qingyi’s displeasure and smiled apologetically.
The old man was dressed very plainly, like an ordinary grandfather. His clothes weren’t designer brands, and his hair had a few strands of white.
"You’re quite boring."
Lu Qingyi sneered coldly before bending down to pick up the cloth.
"Grandfather, how did you get in?"
A schoolmate carrying a water bucket, seeing Lun Boyan standing by the classroom window, asked in slight surprise.
Normally, parents couldn’t just walk into the school; instead, students would be called to the school gate over the broadcast system.
"All of you continue your tasks."
Lun Boyan waved his hand without answering the question.
"Didn’t you say you would come at 1 p.m.?"
Lu Qingyi dropped the cloth, placed her hands on her chest, and stared coldly at Lun Boyan.
This meant that the old man had tricked her -- he had already arrived in Jin City when he called, but he still told her he wouldn’t arrive until 1 p.m.
"Hehe, didn’t I just want to give you a surprise?"
Lun Boyan touched his chin and smiled ingratiatingly, showing no sign that he was actually Hardrick’s headmaster, the one who should be courted.
Lu Qingyi glanced coolly at Lun Boyan. "No surprise, no shock."
"Can’t you be less ruthless? I, as an old man, am greatly wounded."
Lun Boyan clutched his heart, pretending to be terribly hurt.
Boring.
Lu Qingyi glanced at Lun Boyan again, then continued to clean the windows.
The old man was becoming more and more childish as he aged.
"Principal Lu, we would’ve welcomed you at the school gate if you’d let us know you were coming."
The principal of the school and a group of leaders ran over, panting heavily. The principal looked at Lun Boyan, who was standing in front of Class 20’s window, and spoke in a respectful tone.
Others may not know Lun Boyan, but he did.
Lun Boyan had been let in by the security guard, who had then given the principal a call.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have known that Lun Boyan had arrived.
"Ah, I just wanted to take a stroll."
Lun Boyan’s tone was somewhat cold, completely different from when he was talking to Lu Qingyi.
"Shall I find some students to introduce you to?"
The principal asked.
"I think this student is pretty good, polite and beautiful."
Lun Boyan’s eyes moved, and he pointed at Lu Qingyi.
Lu Qingyi’s window cleaning halted for a moment, her lips twitching.
The principal paused for a moment. It was true that Lu Qingyi was their student, but she hadn’t been there long and was likely not very familiar with the school. Having her introduce Lun Boyan seemed a bit...
"Principal Lu, this girl just transferred here, she’s not very familiar with our school yet. How about I call her sister over?"
The principal had no particular opinion about Lu Qingyi. It was just that he felt that Lu Jiayue might be a better choice for the introduction.
