They would all be in trouble if Gu Xiaoran made any noise.

Some of them dashed forward to drag her toward a jeep at the side.

Gu Xiaoran was both anxious and frightened. She really didn’t know what those rogues would do after dragging her into the vehicle.

Anxious and angry, she kicked Feng Gang’s balls. Feng Gang held his lower body in pain and squatted down.

Gu Xiaoran gave him another kick, and he fell backward, hitting his head on the car behind him. He rolled his eyes and suddenly stopped moving, before his body slowly slid down.

“Things have gone wrong.”

The bunch of boys stopped tormenting Gu Xiaoran, and quickly carried Feng Gang to the medical room.

The Feng family was a shareholder of this school, and Feng Gang wasn’t someone Gu Xiaoran could offend. Although she knew that she had gotten into trouble, she felt that it would be pointless to worry about it. In the end, she made up her mind and went back to the dormitory to sleep.

After taking a short nap, she got called into the office.

The class teacher looked at Gu Xiaoran in agony.

He knew that Feng Gang had been pestering Gu Xiaoran for several years, but now that Gu Xiaoran had injured someone, the matter would be difficult to settle: the Feng family could not be offended.

“Ask your parents to come to school by the end of today.”

“I have an exam in the afternoon.”

“The most important thing to you now is not the exam. You will be expelled if you don’t settle this matter regarding Feng Gang.”

“They bullied me first.”

“Feng Gang has gotten injured in school and is still unconscious in the hospital. The Feng family said that they will definitely pursue it. Regardless of whether they bullied you first or you injured him first, you still have to call one of your parents here to explain to the Feng family what happened—personally.”

Gu Xiaoran lowered her head. Society was really unreasonable at times.

Anything she was going to say would be of no use. 

“You may leave. Remember, one of your parents must come to school this afternoon.”

Gu Xiaoran went out.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t bear parting with the school, but because she had injured Feng Gang, the Feng family would not let her off even if she left the school.

Her father was already troubled enough. He would probably go mad if he found out.

Her mobile phone rang.

“Dad,” Gu Xiaoran answered the phone.

“Xiaoran, I’ve planned to have dinner with you after your lessons, but …”

“Did something happen?” Gu Xiaoran got nervous. Did her father really have to go to jail?

“I’m going to Jiangzhou soon, and I’ll only be back after a month.”

“Why do you suddenly need to go to Jiangzhou?”

“There’s some issue with the project over there, so I was asked to go over to supervise.”

“Han Ke asked you to go?”

There was a moment of silence over the phone before her father spoke again, trying to sound relaxed, “I’m sorry, Xiaoran. I can’t take good care of you and have even made you suffer.”

“I don’t feel I’ve suffered. I’m not a child anymore, I will take care of myself.”

“I know you’re a good girl, I’ll just be away for a month, I’ll have dinner with you when I’m back.”

“Okay.”

Her father had used to be in charge of Grand Tang’s business in Jiangzhou.

Han Ke must have used some tricks to force her father to go to Jiangzhou this time. Her father was in a very difficult situation.

Gu Xiaoran hung up the phone. She had found it really difficult to ask her father to go to school.

She started looking through the numbers in her phone, skipping Han Ke’s the moment she saw it.

Han Ke and the Feng family had business dealings.

If he knew that she had injured Feng Gang, he would definitely ask her to apologize to the Feng family regardless of what the reason was. She would definitely be humiliated by them.

But they were persistent on the matter, and she still had no idea how to settle it.

Gu Xiaoran sat alone on the grass, holding her mobile phone. After zoning out for a long time, she dialed a number.
