Chapter 1089: An Eye for an Eye (Lu Guixin Part 13)

Editor: Atlas Studios

Principal Lin looked at the string of numbers, which he had long memorized, displayed on his phone screen. His grip on the phone tightened slightly as he suppressed his emotions and turned around to call Su Cheng. "Mr. Su, Lu Guixin’s parents are calling."

Su Cheng turned around and said to his wife, "Stay here and settle this matter. I’ll head back to work now."

"Okay." Mrs. Su nodded.

Principal Lin ignored him and picked up the call in a respectful manner. "Mr. Lu, it’s me, Lin Song."

The day Lu Guixin came to register for Ming City High School, Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang had sent her there. It was then that they exchanged their contact information. That was also the only time Principal Lin had ever met the legendary Gu Mang and the mysterious and influential Lu Chengzhou. Hence, he still felt incredibly nervous about this phone call.

The others were surprised when they saw how nervous Principal Lin was, and they couldn’t help but look sideways. Even Su Cheng, who had walked to the door, stopped in his tracks and looked over with a frown.

Meanwhile, Lu Chengzhou handed a cup of warm water to Gu Mang, who had just stepped out of the bathroom. His voice was low and cold, and he sounded nonchalant as he asked, "Mm, did something happen to Guixin?"

He figured that something must’ve happened to his daughter, which was the reason behind this phone call.

Gu Mang looked at him when she heard that, but the latter lazily lifted his chin in an indication for her to drink up. He then set the call to speaker mode.

"She got into a small dispute with another student," replied Principal Lin. "And that student’s parents demand that you withdraw your daughter from school."

"Dispute? Withdraw from school? That sounds awfully familiar." Lu Chengzhou raised his eyebrows. "How did they provoke my daughter?"

Although he talked in a slow and light manner, Principal Lin found it dangerous. A chill even ran down the latter’s spine.

Principal Lin was just about to answer him when Mrs. Su suddenly said in an arrogant tone, "Since you managed to get Lu Guixin’s parents on the line, let’s just settle it over a video call. Not everyone’s time is as cheap as theirs."

Principal Lin looked at Mrs. Su out of speechlessness. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Change it into a video call," Lu Chengzhou ordered.

"Okay." Principal Lin retracted his gaze and did as told, connecting his phone to the projector screen on his office wall.

At the top-right corner of the screen was a small image showing the people in Principal Lin’s office, while the main screen showed a man’s face after some shaking.

Mrs. Su was surprised by the face and could hardly believe that the man on the screen was Lu Guixin’s father, for he looked far too young. From his appearance, it didn’t seem like he was a day past thirty. His features were defined and beautifully sculptured, and the dark color scheme in the room made him look all the more imposing.

It took several seconds before Mrs. Su snapped out of it. One word immediately appeared in her mind. Celebrity?

She more or less knew who the popular celebrities were—the not popular ones weren’t even worthy of mention to her. Of course, good looks didn’t necessarily equate to success in showbiz, and that was how it was for some people in the industry.

Mrs. Su instinctively classified the man in the video call as the not-so-popular type since she didn’t know who he was. No wonder Xia Cheng said Lu Guixin was pretty. It’s because she has a celebrity father.

Everyone in the office went into a trance staring at Lu Chengzhou’s face.

"What happened to my daughter?" Lu Chengzhou asked, his voice deep and low. His gaze was fixed on Principal Lin even through the screen. The overwhelming pressure that came from those sharp, dark eyes that were filled with aloofness and hints of laziness almost made it hard for one to breathe.

Principal Lin sat ramrod straight in his seat with his body tense from anxiety.

Mr. Dong and the form teacher from Class One had also come back to their senses by now. As they slowly exhaled, they realized, with a start, their strange reaction.

Principal Lin explained, "There are many people saying on the school forum that Lu Guixin is wooing Zhou Fu, the top student of Year Three."

Wooing? Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes, but he didn’t say anything about it. Upon remembering that Gu Si and the others had just been to Ming City to visit his daughter, he picked up another phone and texted Lu Jilai. [Do you know who Zhou Fu is?]

Lu Jilai’s replies came fast, and he had sent three messages.

[You’ve heard it, Dad?"

[We know about what’s going on in the school forum. It’s no big deal.

["Is it very strange for a pretty girl like me to have some rumors?" -Lu Guixin.]

While Lu Chengzhou raised his eyebrows in amusement, Gu Mang picked up her phone and contacted Yan Xi to find out the exact details.

Meanwhile, Principal Lin was still rambling on. "Because of this, Lu Guixin was heavily criticized—"

"Criticized?" Mrs. Su interrupted. "How is stating facts the same as criticism?"

Principal Lin was at a loss for words.

Mrs. Su snorted. "Is it a criticism to say that Lu Guixin isn’t worthy of Zhou Fu, that her results are bad, and that she, as a student, deliberately seduced a senior with good results instead of focusing on improving her own results? Isn’t that all true?"

Principal Lin frowned.

Lu Chengzhou, however, showed no change of expression. There was just a cold gleam in his slightly hooded eyes.

Principal Lin’s expression changed. What? Why didn’t Yan Xi do anything about it? She didn’t even tell me.

Mr. Dong instinctively realized that something wasn’t right. He immediately whipped out his phone to check the school forum, and he gasped when he saw Su Zeyue’s name on those two posts. Are Lu Guixin’s parents out of their minds? I can’t believe they dare to go against the Su family!
