“Gu Ningning,” Xiao Hongshi said, a hint of resentment in his voice, “You’re actually seducing Xiuxiu’s partner. You’re truly despicable.”
Gu Ningning had arrived early today, and there weren’t many students yet.
Hearing Xiao Hongshi’s words, she twitched her lips: “This grandma does what she wants.”
“Shameless!” Xiao Hongshi gritted his teeth.
Shen Xiuxiu was his goddess; only his goddess was worthy of someone with Lu Xueshi’s character and family background.
Then came a loud “Smack!”
Gu Ningning sprang up and slapped him.
She then leveraged the momentum to raise her knee and strike him in the stomach.
Then she turned and ran, shouting, “Ah, Xiao Hongshi is hitting people again!”
At this moment, students were walking into the school gate in twos and threes.
Combined with Gu Ningning’s loud voice, it alerted the Security Section.
“What’s going on?” The Security Section personnel, seeing a delicate young girl running over, quickly asked.
“Report, Xiao Hongshi called me shameless and hit me!” Gu Ningning said, her eyes red and her face full of grievance.
If this matter reached the Security Section, the next step would be the Public Security Bureau.
When Xiao Hongshi, having recovered from the pain, chased after her and saw the Security Section personnel, he was also momentarily stunned.
He hadn’t expected Gu Ningning to be so shameless.
He didn’t have a principle against hitting girls, so he was ready to teach her a good lesson.
He truly charged over with an aggressive demeanor.
“It’s him.” Gu Ningning pointed at Xiao Hongshi, “He hit me yesterday too. I wanted to report it to the Public Security Bureau, but Teacher Liu said we’re all students in the same class, like a family, so I endured it. But today, he retaliated against me.”
This Xiao Hongshi had some background and influence. His father was previously the director of the “Tail-Cutting” Committee, and he had amassed many good things in his hands.
That’s why he could be so arrogant in later generations.
In this life, she had to get rid of their family early.
Such a menace absolutely could not be left alone.
“How abominable!” The Security Section personnel were also enraged. They stepped forward and seized Xiao Hongshi, “This kind of person really needs to be sent to the Public Security Bureau.”
“Thank you, Section Chief! For upholding justice for the students!” Gu Ningning said, expressing her gratitude profusely.
Without going through Teacher Liu, things would be much simpler.
And this way, it couldn’t be blamed on her either.
Xiao Hongshi’s face and neck flushed with anger. Forgetting his pride, he yelled, “She hit me! She’s a rotten slut, stealing other people’s boyfriends/girlfriends (in this context, prospective spouse/partner)!”
He was truly enraged.
To be tripped up twice by this good-for-nothing.
Now that he was restrained by the Security Section, he would surely be sent to the Public Security Bureau.
He was scared too.
Things weren’t like they were a few years ago; his father was now treading carefully.
Actually, he didn’t really dare to cause trouble.
At most, he would act like a bully on campus.
Students wouldn’t run off to report him to the Public Security Bureau either.
Provoking Gu Ningning was like kicking a steel plate.
Xiao Hongshi was escorted to the Public Security Bureau, while Gu Ningning happily went to her class.
The incident quickly spread throughout the campus.
Some people even privately said that Gu Ningning had stolen someone else’s partner.
At noon, when Lu Xueshi came to pick her up, many students saw them.
Once in the car, Gu Ningning pouted, looking unhappy.
Her spoiled young lady temper was acting up again.
Lu Xueshi felt a headache coming on, but he had no choice but to ask in a low voice, “Ningning, what’s wrong? Is school not fun?”
He was actually afraid she would say it wasn’t fun.
If she was in school, she would bother him less.
If she went home, his wallet would be empty again.
“It’s not fun, and people are talking about me.” Gu Ningning huffed, “Brother Xueshi, do you still remember Xiao Hongshi? He hit me and said I stole Xiuxiu’s partner. But you’re clearly my partner, and we’re almost engaged.”
Hearing this, Lu Xueshi immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
After all, a guilty conscience makes one nervous.
“That’s truly nonsense.” Lu Xueshi’s reaction was somewhat excessive, and his face turned much uglier.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.
He was truly afraid that the truth would be exposed at a critical moment.
It would affect his plan.
One part had already failed; there absolutely could be no more problems in the subsequent steps.
At this moment, he was thoroughly annoyed with Xiao Hongshi.
That guy was usually a helper, but now he was a stumbling block.
Gu Ningning didn’t dwell on the matter, but she looked displeased: “We need to teach that scoundrel Xiao Hongshi a good lesson. He’s trying to stir up trouble between us and alienate me from Xiuxiu.”
She couldn’t completely fall out with them yet.
After all, the money and house weren’t in her hands yet.
She also needed to use this opportunity to ruin Shen Xiuxiu and Lu Xueshi’s reputations and leave them with nothing.
“Mm, I’ll teach him a lesson.” Lu Xueshi broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that Gu Ningning didn’t continue to dwell on the issue, he also let out a sigh of relief.
The two parked the car by the roadside and went to the State-run Restaurant together.
“My heart has been traumatized, I want to eat lots and lots of delicious food.” Gu Ningning said grumpily, sitting down and ordering several dishes.
This once again depleted the money in Lu Xueshi’s pocket.
It made him even angrier at Xiao Hongshi.
But he couldn’t show it on his face: “Ningning, eat more. School must be hard, right?”
“School isn’t hard, Teacher Liu doesn’t really manage us.” Gu Ningning picked up her chopsticks and started eating, not at all polite.
She studied very seriously in class, desperately catching up on knowledge points.
It was quite tiring.
Lu Xueshi echoed, “You don’t have to work too hard. As long as you take the college entrance exam, you’ll get into a university.”
He didn’t want her to be too outstanding.
That would make her difficult to control.
Getting her into school and bothering him less was enough.
He had also timed it well. After marriage, Gu Ningning would definitely be in university. She would live at school then and wouldn’t come back to bother him.
Then he could spend every day and night with Shen Xiuxiu.
And then spend the money Gu Ningning earned.
How perfect this life would be.
“Mm, Brother Xueshi, don’t worry, I never suffer hardships.” Gu Ningning nodded vigorously, “But, Brother Xueshi, you must work hard. You have to support me, you know.”
She had to mislead him, make him lower his guard.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely work hard.” Lu Xueshi nodded in satisfaction.
Although the current Gu Ningning couldn’t be completely controlled, she was indispensable to him.
Clinging to him like this, missing him terribly after just one day.
That was enough.
He would eventually find an opportunity to trample her into the mud.
After dropping Gu Ningning off at school, Lu Xueshi made an appearance at his workplace, then went to find Shen Xiuxiu.
“That Xiao Hongshi really has a problem with his head.” Shen Xiuxiu said grumpily. In truth, her heart was quite conflicted.
She both wanted her relationship with Lu Xueshi to be known to all, and she wanted Lu Xueshi to get everything from the Lu Family and the Gu Family.
She didn’t want to strive or work hard now.
Lu Xueshi, seeing Shen Xiuxiu’s anxious look, quickly reassured her, “I’ll go talk to him.”
He thought about how the man had been escorted to the Public Security Bureau today and must have been criticized and educated.
Seizing this opportunity, he would go and educate him again.
He would definitely make Xiao Hongshi behave.
The Xiao Family also had a foundation, so he couldn’t offend them too harshly.
A little warning would suffice.
If this person was used well, he could also be a capable assistant.
“Alright,” Shen Xiuxiu nodded, then hesitated before speaking softly, “We all grew up together. Let’s also talk to Ningning, don’t be too extreme. Maybe one day, a few of us can go out for a meal.”
There was calculation in her eyes.
