Chapter 242: Staying Here Hinders Gu Mang’s Ability to Shine
Five minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the meeting room. Hearing the sound, the parents looked over immediately. They saw Xi Yan enter with Gu Mang. Her face was really pretty and she looked pale under the lighting. Her beautiful eyelids hung low. When she entered, she opened her beautiful eyes.
The contrast was stark. She was cold yet she also gave off a feeling that was surly and bad. Cold and defiant. Just a simple look and one could tell that she was not one to mess with.
Yet she looked like a good student from her appearance. Her hair lay across her shoulder and her school uniform was worn properly.
Yi Chen’s father had heard that Gu Mang was very good at fighting. He couldn’t sleep last thinking about why his idiot son had fought with Gu Mang.
Xi Yan turned around and closed the door to the meeting room. There was a piece of glass installed in the notch of the door that allowed others to see what was going on inside. Gu Yin peeked carefully and saw Yi Chen’s parents and the others frowning slightly.
Xia Mingzhu brought her to Ming City’s upper elite dinners on several occasions. She had seen them there before. Why were they here?
Seeing that Gu Mang had arrived, Principal Fu pointed at the people sitting across from him. “Gu Mang, these are Yi Chen’s parents who are here to discuss dropping the lawsuit.”
Liang Qingru looked at Gu Mang’s face and her eyes reddened in anger. She bit her lip tightly and did not speak. They were here to plead. Gu Mang walked over leisurely and pulled the chair out to sit down. Then, she leaned backwards and crossed her legs.
She stuck out her arms and put her wrists on the meeting table. Her hands were beautiful and they were even more so when she was hitting others with them.
Her posture was like that of a big boss. She was full of defiance.
After sitting down, Gu Mang looked up. “Drop the lawsuit?”
Everyone looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
After a while, she sneered. “Do I look like someone who’s easy to mess with?”
Hearing such an opening statement, the parents understood immediately that if they didn’t ‘bleed’ today, they would not be able to resolve this issue.
Principal Fu looked at the group of parents and then at Gu Mang.
Gu Mang was still smiling in a bad and defiant way. She raised her pretty eyebrows looking rather cold and fierce. The fact that Gu Mang was here proved that there was still room for negotiation.
To prevent himself from hindering Gu Mang’s ability to shine, Principal Fu got up and looked at her. “Gu Mang, these are your personal matters and the school shall not interfere. Act in accordance with your wishes. There are still other matters I have to attend to.”
Gu Mang nodded and said politely, “See you, Principal.”
When the principal passed by Xi Yan, he stopped. “Ms. Xi, I have some things to tell you. Please come out for a while.”
Xi Yan did not feel good about leaving Gu Mang but since the principal had requested to speak to her, she had to follow.
The soundproofing of the meeting room was very effective. When Gu Yin heard the sound of the door opening, it was already too late to hide.
The principal saw Gu Yin and frowned. He thought for a few seconds. Then, he asked, “Are you Gu Yin from Year Three Class One?”
Gu Yin clenched her fist slightly and answered nicely, “Yes, Principal.”
Hearing that, Gu Mang did not react at all. It was as if she had known that Gu Yin was outside.
Xi Yan took a quick look at Gu Mang and knew that she was not on good terms with Gu Yin. She said nothing as she shut the door.
“Why are you here?” Principal Fu looked at her with a rather cold expression. “Aren’t you supposed to be having morning reading classes?”
Gu Yin showed him Luo Songhua’s lesson plan. “My teacher asked me to collect something. I saw that Ms. Xi and my sister were here so I thought that something was wrong. Principal, what happened to my sister?”
Principal Fu’s attitude was very cold. “Nothing much. Stay in class during class hours. Don’t loiter around.”
He remembered that Gu Yin used Ruan Qingqing as a scapegoat at the parent teacher meeting. Not many people knew about it. Gu Yin was rather manipulative.
