Chapter 2188 - 2389: Like a Stutterer!!!

The incident happened suddenly, and Li Weiwei was instantly enraged by Hao Jian's words. At that moment, all she thought about was getting back at Hao Jian. She hadn't considered that there might be others around, and when she said this sentence, her voice was so loud that even the teachers sitting in the office heard it. They all looked over here.

Li Weiwei and Hao Jian were suddenly the focus of unprecedented attention, all because of holding hands. Li Weiwei was frightened by the situation, covering her mouth with her hands.

Embarrassment, it could only be described as embarrassment. A female teacher unexpectedly shouted "Eat your head" to a student, making everyone nearby feel awkward, not to mention Li Weiwei. If there were a hole in the ground, she would rather crawl into it to hide.

But Hao Jian stood by, gloating and smirking, saying, "See, this is what happens when you try to scold me. I told you to be gentle, but you weren't!"

Li Weiwei had no energy left to deal with Hao Jian now, feeling utterly humiliated just moments ago. She immediately kicked at Hao Jian, who dodged swiftly and wasn't hit.

"Get lost! Go back to the classroom!" Li Weiwei said angrily.

"As you command!" Hao Jian feigned a eunuch receiving orders. After speaking, he retreated, leaving Li Weiwei sitting there giggling.

Seeing Li Weiwei laugh, Hao Jian also smiled. He hoped that others wouldn't have to worry about things that were unnecessary. He could completely handle things himself, so why trouble others? If Li Weiwei was smiling, that was enough; everything else she didn't need to worry about.

After leaving, Hao Jian returned to the classroom and then sought out Hu Lai and Fatty to understand the situation of Gu Peng's family.

Gu Peng was the only child in his family, and since he was a boy, his family indulged him completely. From childhood, whatever he wanted, his parents would give him. His family could afford it, wasn't lacking money, thus nurturing Gu Peng's lifestyle of being pampered and having everything provided for him, slowly cultivating a spoiled attitude where he did whatever he wanted.

He began bullying classmates since kindergarten and continued until now, in high school, where he has a clearer understanding of right and wrong. He understands more than ever the special privileges his family status provides him, and he loves to gather a small group to bully classmates. Relying on his family being a majority shareholder in Yawen, he acts as a tyrant, with no teacher daring to say anything to him. If they dare, they're fired, so which teacher would dare say anything? If they do, their job security is gone.

The reason his family has such a strong financial status is that his parents manage the Gu Corporation, which holds a prominent position in Yun City's economy, controlling much of the city's economic lifeline. That's why he's so brazen and arrogant. Whether he studies or not isn't important to him, as he'll eventually inherit his parents' fortune.

Furthermore, his parents generally solve issues with money, like when someone's hospitalized due to his actions, they settle it with money. Even when their son got a girl pregnant when he just started high school, it was resolved with money.

For them, there's nothing money can't solve, which is why Gu Peng dares to commit misdeeds at school. His parents instilled in him the belief that money resolves all problems, and with family money, he naturally fears nothing.

Later, Hu Lai and Fatty told Hao Jian a whole bunch more, mostly about how Gu Peng could continue doing whatever he wanted at school, ways that would have gotten anyone else expelled long ago. However, since it was Gu Peng, and his family was the school's majority shareholder, he committed countless violations against school rules and near-illegal acts yet remained at school.

He enjoyed the highest level of educational resources, yet it was such a waste. Listening to this, Hao Jian's face showed a smile. If his parents wanted him expelled, he wouldn't mind, but no one's ever gotten him expelled. He's always been the one to expel others, so let's wait and see.

Soon it was the end of class. Today, it wasn't surprising that Zhang Danlin hadn't come looking for him, just as she said in her text message, that they shouldn't have further contact. The two acted like strangers; they wouldn't speak during or after class, nor greet each other if they encountered one another on the road, acting just like complete strangers.

Hao Jian knew that this must be difficult for Zhang Danlin internally, but considering the circumstances, this was the best outcome. It was better than being upset forever; this was the best solution. He accepted it gladly, so he didn't do anything further, maintaining the status quo.

This day was supposed to end this way, but suddenly during the seventh period in the afternoon, just about three minutes before class ended, someone unexpectedly entered the classroom. It seemed to be a school leader, who waved to the teacher, said something, and the teacher entered and called Hao Jian's name, saying someone was looking for him, making Hao Jian go out perplexed.

Upon stepping out, he realized the person who came wasn't anyone else but the vice principal himself, who specifically came to call him to the principal's office because Gu Peng's parents had arrived. As for Gu Peng, he certainly wasn't still hospitalized; his injuries didn't require him to stay for long. At most, a day to be discharged. Thus, not returning to school could only mean one thing: he lost to Hao Jian and felt ashamed, therefore avoided attending class.

His parents came to school causing trouble, demanding that the school expel Hao Jian, all to regain face for their son. Only by expelling Hao Jian would their son Gu Peng have the face to return to school.

When leaving the classroom, because Gu Peng's parents gave the vice principal a scolding, he didn't show Hao Jian a pleasant face, asserting coldly, "Let's go, take a trip to the principal's office."

Since he showed no pleasantries, Hao Jian didn't hold back either. Regardless of being a vice principal, even a principal to him didn't matter. He laughed and said, "Fine, lead the way."

Upon hearing Hao Jian telling him to lead the way, the vice principal was indignant. Didn't he know where the principal's office was? Lead the way, indeed! I'm a dignified vice principal, how dare you treat me like this! He was tempted to scold Hao Jian more thoroughly. But reconsidering, this student was rebellious by nature; why dignify a vice principal by wasting energy on him? Thus, he only glared at Hao Jian, then walked forward on his own.

Soon, the two arrived at the office building, standing before the principal's office. Being a vice principal meant he didn't need to knock; he directly opened the door and brought Hao Jian in.

Upon entering, Hao Jian saw aside from the familiar principal he recognized, there stood two flashy individuals. The man was dressed in full formal attire, leather shoes on his feet, with materials distinctively high-class, and the gold watch on his wrist undoubtedly screaming nouveau riche. The woman seemed wealthy, appearing to be younger than the man by three or four years, yet her diet must be indulgent, as her belly might even surpass the portly figure of the man.

Hao Jian didn't have to think twice to know that they were Gu Peng's parents. As they saw Hao Jian being led in by the vice principal, they realized this was the kid who had hospitalized their son. Father Gu's face darkened, while Mother Gu's gaze was venomous toward Hao Jian.

Hao Jian displayed a helpless expression, wondering, just because your son bullies others doesn't mean someone can't bully him, but now you're looking at me with these eyes? Screw you and your ancestors.

Hao Jian was about to sit, but as he was just about to settle down, the principal harshly reprimanded him, "Stand up! Stand properly!"

Hao Jian coldly smirked. This principal seemed middle-aged, around his forties or fifties, yet his tone was quite powerful, though any average person might obey him, it wasn't Hao Jian's style. You command me to stand, and you think I'll stand? Who do you think you are?

Ignoring him, Hao Jian directly sat down, acting as if he hadn't heard a thing. However, it was then that Mother Gu impetuously approached Hao Jian, pointing at him, questioning, "You are Hao Jian, the kid who put my son in the hospital?"

Hao Jian, completely unfazed, nodded saying, "Yes."

Mother Gu was infuriated; how dare this boy display such righteousness after beating her son? It couldn't be tolerated; she promptly pointed at Hao Jian furiously, saying, "Stand up when talking! Haven't your elders taught you to stand when speaking with seniors? Who let you sit?"

The principal's previous scolding didn't make him stand; who were you with a little stinkin' money to make him stand? Never let capital win; that's Hao Jian's principle. Moreover, with his capability, he had no need to bow to capital.

Finally, he understood how some affluent people enjoy leveraging their stinkin' money to bully others. Right now, he recognized this feeling, but he largely ignored it.

Then, slightly raising his head and looking at her, he retorted, "Do I have to stand when talking to a dog?"

"You..." Despite listening, Mother Gu understood what Hao Jian's words implied; wasn't it that he compared her to a dog, implying talking to her didn't require standing?

"You..." Hao Jian laughed, "You, what? If you have something to say, just say it outright. Don't act like a stammerer."
