Chapter 534 - Yang Chunmei Was Threatened
Chapter 534: Yang Chunmei Was Threatened
The man said in a low voice, “CEO Liu has a good relationship with his ex-wife. If not for the child, they wouldn’t have gotten a divorce.”
The woman nodded. “Isn’t that so? Han Zi is a pitiful person. I heard that CEO Liu hid the truth from the Liu family and transferred most of his assets to Han Zi. I’m afraid after the funeral, there will be another bloodbath in the Liu family.”
“No matter what, this is a done deal. It’s useless even if the Liu family wants those assets.”
…
As the two of them walked further away, the voices became softer.
Lu Sheng thought of the woman’s expression and guessed that she was CEO Liu’s ex-wife.
It was obvious that she was sincere to CEO Liu. Otherwise, she would not be so sad.
As for the others, although they were crying on the surface, they were not sincere. That was another story.
“Do you want to go home or go straight to school?”
Chu Hongzhong asked the duo.
Chu Yan looked at Lu Sheng, seemingly asking for her opinion.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Let’s go back to school directly. We still have to study later.”
Chu Hongzhong nodded and sent the two of them to the school gate.
When the two of them entered the school, Chu Yan’s phone rang.
He took it out and realized that it was Pei Yan.
“When are you and Junior returning to school?”
When the call connected, Pei Yan’s voice was heard.
Chu Yan stared at the phone screen silently.
“Ah… Pei Yan, it’s me.”
Lu Sheng glanced at Chu Yan. Seeing that he did not seem to have the intention to speak, she spoke hesitantly.
“Junior? You’re together now?”
“Yes.”
“When are you returning to school? Remember to come and fetch me. My father doesn’t allow me to drive.”
“Well…”
Lu Sheng laughed guiltily and said, “I didn’t drive today. Moreover, we’re already in school.”
“What?”
Pei Yan immediately raised his voice. Thankfully, Chu Yan had the phone. If it was beside her ear, her ears would definitely be deafened.
“The two of you aren’t very nice. The two of you secretly went to school. Tell me, did the two of you do something unspeakable?”
After Pei Yan finished speaking, Chu Yan hung up.
Lu Sheng looked up at him in surprise, only to hear him say lightly, “Send me a message during dinner. I’ll go to the library.”
“Oh.”
Lu Sheng nodded.
He placed the phone back into his pocket and nodded at her before leaving.
“Jiang Jing, why are you standing there?”
Suddenly, she heard someone call her. Lu Sheng turned back and saw Yang Chunmei walking towards her with a bag on her back.
“Chunmei.”
Lu Sheng stood at her original spot and smiled at her.
When she saw her eyes, Lu Sheng’s smile disappeared. “What… happened to you?”
Yang Chunmei’s eyes were very red and she looked a little tired. It seemed like she had just cried.
Moreover, her sleeve seemed to be stained with soup.
“Nothing.” Yang Chunmei placed her hand on her shoulder and walked forward. “I was just disgusted by some people.”
“Some people?”
Lu Sheng was puzzled. “Who?”
“Yang Chunmei, stop!”
Zhu Ling, Zhou Mei, and Lan Jia hurried over and stood in front of them.
“Apologize to me!”
Zhu Ling raised her chin and glared at Yang Chunmei.
“On what basis?” Yang Chunmei smiled coldly. “Haven’t you heard of the term ‘flirting shamelessly’?”
Lu Sheng looked at this and then at that, not knowing what happened.
“Yang Chunmei, as a waiter, what’s wrong with us asking you to help us get some things? What right do you have to hit us?”
Zhou Mei crossed her arms and stood behind Zhu Ling. She spoke arrogantly.
“What a joke.”
Yang Chunmei smiled coldly. “Can I be ordered around and bullied just because I’m a waiter?”
Today, the three of them went to the restaurant where she was working part-time to eat.
Not only did they mock and ridicule her the moment they saw her, but they even ordered her around every two minutes.
There were chili flakes on the table, but they refused to eat them and insisted that she get a new one.
For the sake of her salary, she endured it.
In the end, when she was placing the items, Zhu Ling deliberately poured the soup with chili sauce onto the back of her hand.
She slapped Zhu Ling angrily.
As a result, she was fired by the boss.
“Yang Chunmei, if you don’t apologize to me, you and your family will suffer.”
Zhu Ling’s furious gaze was filled with resentment.
Yang Chunmei’s face paled immediately.
Her family was just an ordinary farm family, while Zhu Ling’s family was rich. If Zhu Ling really wanted to harm her family, it would be easy.
Lu Sheng frowned slightly. “Threatening my friend in front of me. Zhu Ling, aren’t you taking yourself too seriously?”
“Jiang Jing, I advise you to mind your own business. Otherwise, even you won’t have a good life.”
At this moment, two boys walked over and stood behind Zhu Ling.
The two of them were classmates from the next class. One was Zhou Hu and the other was Gao Li. They were Zhu Ling’s lackeys.
They often went to Class One to play after class, so Lu Sheng knew them.
Moreover, it was said that Gao Li was Principal Gao’s nephew.
Previously, Gao Li had asked Lu Sheng for her contact number a few times, but Lu Sheng ignored him.
For this, Gao Li even scolded her secretly a few times, saying that she did not know what was good for her.
If not for Principal Gao, she would have beaten him up long ago.
Zhu Ling, who had someone backing her, was exceptionally pleased. In the entire class, she hated Yang Chunmei and Lu Sheng the most.
Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “Zhu Ling, as the class monitor of our class, you’re threatening our classmates here. Tell me, what will Teacher Li say if I tell her about this?”
Zhu Ling smiled disdainfully. “Do you think she will believe you?”
“Really?”
Lu Sheng took out her phone and tapped the play button. Zhu Ling’s threatening words echoed in the recording.
She looked straight at Zhu Ling and raised her eyebrows. “What do you think will happen if I bring this recording to the school’s broadcast room to play?”
“You—You’re shameless!”
Zhu Ling did not expect Lu Sheng to record her words.
Moreover, she did not see Lu Sheng move just now. When did she record it?
Not to mention Zhu Ling, but the group of people following Zhu Ling did not look too good.
Only Yang Chunmei looked at Lu Sheng with a complicated gaze.
“I’m shameless?”
Lu Sheng sneered. “That’s how it should be when dealing with shameless people.”
She looked at Zhu Ling and said indifferently, “If you still dare to harass Yang Chunmei in the future, I’ll play this recording in the school’s broadcast room and let the entire school see what kind of person you are.”
“Jiang Jing, I’m warning you. If you know what’s good for you, delete the recording. Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”
Gao Li threatened Lu Sheng.
“What should I do?” Lu Sheng looked troubled. “I like to drink a forfeit. I wonder what has Young Master Gao planned?”
Gao Li smiled coldly. “Just you wait. You’ll receive the notice of withdrawal soon.”
“Really?”
Lu Sheng clicked her tongue and took out her phone to call Principal Gao.
Not long after, the call was connected.
“Miss Jiang?”
“Principal Gao, is Gao Li your nephew?”
“Gao Li?”
The other party seemed to be stunned for a moment before saying, “Did that kid cause trouble again?”
“Isn’t that so?” Lu Sheng looked at the blushing Gao Li and smiled. “Your nephew threatened me that I would receive the notice of withdrawal soon.”
“Miss Jiang, don’t worry. I’ll settle this matter. This fellow’s brain isn’t normal. He only knows how to stir up trouble all day long. I hope that Miss Jiang won’t remember his mistake and spare him this time.”
Principal Gao would occasionally hear about the power behind Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian. It was said that the two of them knew each other.
He was just a small principal. He could not afford to offend such big shots.
“I hope that Principal Gao can educate your nephew well. If news of the principal’s nephew being the school bully spreads, it will affect your reputation, right?”
“Yes, yes. Miss Jiang is right. I’ll get him to come over now!”
Lu Sheng smiled and hung up.
Gao Li, Zhu Ling, Yang Chunmei, and the rest were shocked by Principal Gao’s tone.
Everyone’s parents would have to be polite to Principal Gao.
In the end, Principal Gao was very polite to Lu Sheng. This shocked them.
In City H’s Yizhong, only a few people could be treated like this by Principal Gao.
Zhu Ling and the rest also remembered that not long ago, Lu Sheng, the two strange men, and Principal Gao had gone out of the school together.
Yang Chunmei had long known that Lu Sheng’s family was rich. She did not expect her family to be so extraordinary.
“Yes, yes… I’m sorry, Jiang Jing. I… I was just saying. Don’t take it to heart!”
Gao Li immediately cowered.
Zhou Hu’s expression was not too good either. He wanted to use Gao Li’s family background to bully Lu Sheng and help Zhu Ling vent her anger. He did not expect even Principal Gao to be so polite to Lu Sheng.
“Well… Zhu Ling, we still have some matters to attend to, so we’ll take our leave first.”
Gao Li pulled Zhou Hu and escaped.
Zhu Ling glared at Yang Chunmei and left with Lan Jia and Zhou Mei.
Lu Sheng stared at their backs and shook her head helplessly.
“Jiang Jing, thank you!”
Yang Chunmei thanked her with reddened eyes.
Although she was usually carefree and got along well with everyone, looking fearless, she would still be afraid.
Although she and Zhu Ling did not get along, she did not expect Zhu Ling to vent her anger on her family.
“It’s alright. You’re my friend.”
Lu Sheng smiled and patted her shoulder. “If you have anything in the future, tell me. I’ll protect you.”
Yang Chunmei smiled. “Okay!”
“Lu Sheng!”
Lu Sheng hugged Yang Chunmei and was about to return to the dormitory when someone suddenly called her real name from behind.
She turned her head suspiciously and saw two people running over happily.
“It’s really you. We thought we recognized the wrong person!”
It was Yu Mingyue and Fu Sisi.
When Yang Chunmei saw who it was, she could not help but be stunned.
Yu Mingyue and Fu Sisi were famous people in school like Zhou Qiong and Ling Fei.
She had heard of them when she was in the middle school.
She did not expect Jiang Jing to know them.
However, it was not surprising, given that Jiang Jing also knew Pei Yan and Chu Yan.
However…
They called Jiang Jing Lu Sheng just now? Why? Could it be Jiang Jing’s nickname?
Although Yang Chunmei was puzzled, she did not ask further. Instead, she said to Lu Sheng, “You guys chat first. I’ll go back to the dormitory.”
“Okay.” Lu Sheng nodded.
“Is she your friend?”
Fu Sisi glanced at Yang Chunmei’s back and asked Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes, my first friend in class.”
“Let’s find a place to sit and chat?” Yu Mingyue suggested.
Lu Sheng and Fu Sisi nodded in agreement.
In the end, the three of them sat at a milk tea shop outside the school and drank milk tea.
Although this was the second time the three of them met after their reincarnation, when they chatted, they were like long-time friends and did not feel awkward at all.
“Hey, Sheng Sheng, where did you and my cousin go yesterday?”
Fu Si thought of what happened yesterday afternoon and asked curiously.
“We didn’t go anywhere. We just helped an uncle with something.”
“Oh, alright.” Fu Sisi pursed her lips and said, “We still have a friend, but her uncle passed away, so she hasn’t come yet.”
“Uncle?”
Could it be CEO Liu?
Yu Mingyue said, “He should be considered her ex-uncle. Her aunt and uncle had long divorced.”
“Is his surname Liu?” Lu Sheng asked.
The two of them nodded. “Yes, we often go to Feng Yun KTV. He’s also one of the owners. I didn’t expect him to leave just like that.”
Fu Sisi and Yu Mingyue had seen CEO Liu before, so when they mentioned him, their expressions were a bit sad.
Lu Sheng nodded. “In that case, your friend’s surname is Han?”
“Yes!”
The two of them looked at her in surprise. Fu Sisi asked, “Sheng Sheng, have you seen Leya before?”
“Leya?!”
Lu Sheng’s heart jumped.
A gentle smile flashed across her mind.
Although it had been so long, their faces were still clearly reflected in her mind.
She shook her head. “Not yet, but I’ve seen her aunt before.”
“I see!”
The duo nodded in realization.
Yu Mingyue smiled and said, “She should return to school later. When there’s a chance, we’ll introduce her to you.”
Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. “Okay!”
The three of them sat and chatted for a while before getting up to return to the dormitory.
Lu Sheng packed a cup of iced tea and prepared to send it to the library for Chu Yan.
After entering the school, the three of them parted ways. Lu Sheng took the iced tea to the library.
She sent Chu Yan a message and asked him which floor he was on.
Chu Yan replied quickly and said that he was on the third floor.
Lu Sheng rode the elevator to the third floor. She had just stepped out when she bumped into a familiar face.
It was Zhou Qiong, who wanted Pei Yan to send her home.
In addition to her, a tall boy with a buzz cut stood beside her.
The two of them were chatting and laughing. As to what they said, Lu Sheng did not care.
Zhou Qiong also saw her walking out of the elevator. Their eyes met and Zhou Qiong subconsciously frowned, her eyes full of hostility.
Lu Sheng smiled and nodded at her before walking past her.
“Isn’t that the popular junior on Tieba?”
The boy turned around and asked Zhou Qiong.
“Yes.”
The smile on Zhou Qiong’s face disappeared and she only replied faintly.
