Everyone Hates the Substitute Until He’s Reborn

In his previous life, when Ye Chaoran was 16 years old, he was suddenly visited by a rich man who told him he was the young master of the Fang family who lived in a different city.

Little did...

Chapter 45 Final Punishment

After hearing what the head teacher said, Lin Bai became increasingly angry.

Jiang Xunmo's words could only scare other people. Would rich second-generations like them be afraid of a team of lawyers?

Their family has a dedicated team of lawyers, not to mention the Gu family. With a team of lawyers around, they won't suffer much loss even if they were the ones who took action first!

"Just go to court, who are you threatening here?" Lin Bai couldn't bear it any longer and interrupted the head teacher.

After saying that, Lin Bai gave Gu Yao a wink.

The head teacher glanced at Lin Bai, and Teacher Wu also turned his head.

Gu Yao received Lin Bai's gaze and nodded slightly.

Just like Lin Bai said, isn't it just going to court? They have no need to be afraid.

Although going to court was a bit troublesome, what was more important was that Gu Yao couldn't stand Jiang Xunmo's arrogance.

Not for any other reason, he just wanted to see Jiang Xunmo get humiliated.

As for the other students, he could afford the conditions that Jiang Xunmo had just promised.

"Yes," Gu Yao finally spoke, "Since both sides hold different opinions, why not go to court and see."

Hearing what Gu Yao said, the head teacher sighed.

He knew that this matter could not be taken lightly.

When Teacher Wu heard Gu Yao say this, he knew that Gu Yao had decided to intervene in this matter. He immediately became confident and said, "Yes, Gu Yao is right. Let's do it this way."

Teacher Wang frowned. She had no idea what Teacher Wu was up to.

Originally, this was just a fight between students and could be handled by the school leaders. If it really doesn't work, ask parent another to come and everyone can resolve the problem amicably.

Teacher Wu, as the head teacher of Class 6, not only did not help to calm the students, but he actually allowed the students to make the matter worse.

Now that the college entrance examination for the previous senior high school students has ended, and in less than a year, it will be the turn of their class to take the college entrance examination. At this critical juncture, making such a big fuss is not a good thing for anyone.

Teacher Wang thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Wu, look at what you said. These are just small matters between students. Why should we take them to court? In my opinion, no matter which party started the fight first, both parties are at fault. Let them apologize to each other and make a self-criticism on Monday."

"What do you mean by that?!" Teacher Wu didn't listen to Teacher Wang at all. "Didn't the students in your class first propose going to court? The students in our class are just following your rules!"

Teacher Wang frowned.

How come Teacher Wu...

Teacher Wang glanced at the grade director, who took a sip of tea and shook his head.

Teacher Wang is not clear about this, but the grade director knows about it.

Class 6 in every grade in No. 1 Middle School is an elite class. Teacher Wu has taught so many elite classes, and the students in his class have never been overshadowed by students in ordinary classes.

But this year they happened to meet a Ye Chaoran, who was always the top student in every exam and was far superior to their class.

Teacher Wu originally planned to transfer Ye Chaoran to Class 6, but neither Ye Chaoran nor Teacher Wang agreed to the transfer. Although Teacher Wu didn't say anything at the time, he still had some opinions in his heart. However, because they were all colleagues, he didn't want to fall out with Teacher Wang over a student.

But who would have thought that a Jiang Xunmo would show up in this exam! He directly squeezed out Gu Yao from their class and became second in the grade!

Teacher Wu felt so sad. When the students came to inform the grade director that there was a fight, Teacher Wu was in the office talking to the grade director about transferring classes.

According to the rules, all outstanding students in No. 1 Middle School should be admitted to the top classes, and the grade director cannot make exceptions just because of Teacher Wang.

刚刚和年级主任谈话谈了小半天,也没见他松口答应,吴老师知道这次没希望了,已经很不开心了,又看到自己最疼的学生被一班的学生揍成这样,他怎么能轻易咽下这口气?

No matter what, Class 1 must give him an explanation this time!

"Xiao Wu, calm down first." The grade director spoke to comfort him. He also didn't want to let a few students make a big deal out of it, as it would ultimately affect student enrollment.

Teacher Wu finally got the upper hand at this moment, and pretended not to see the head teacher's weakness: "I am very calm, head teacher. After all, I was not the one who said these words in the first place. It was -" He glanced at Jiang Xunmo, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. It was more important to vent his anger on a good seedling than to vent his anger on him. "It was the other party who brought it up first, and we just agreed to their way of handling it."

The head teacher and Teacher Wang were both silent.

Everyone in the class looked at each other. Fu Xin was not worried about the case going to court. He just felt that the matter was a bit troublesome. Thinking of this, he looked up at Jiang Xunmo.

Upon seeing this, Fu Xin laughed immediately.

Jiang Xunmo is smiling!

Since Brother Jiang laughed, it meant there was no need to worry about this matter at all!

Sure enough, the next second, Jiang Xunmo was seen walking towards Gu Yao.

Teacher Wu immediately yelled at Jiang Xunmo: "What do you want to do now? Do you want to fight here?"

Jiang Xunmo sneered: "Teacher, do you think I'm stupid?"

Teacher Wu choked and glared at Jiang Xunmo.

Gu Yao and Lin Bai looked at Jiang Xunmo warily, not knowing why he suddenly approached.

"What do you want to do?" Gu Yao asked coldly.

Jiang Xunmo's facial expression was never obvious, but at this moment, he had a very obvious smile on his face: "I just want to say something to you."

As he spoke, Jiang Xunmo suddenly moved closer. He was half a head taller than Gu Yao, so he lowered his eyes slightly when he spoke.

Gu Yao looked unhappy and was about to avoid him when he heard Jiang Xunmo lower his voice and say, "Since we are going to court together, it's a good opportunity for us to settle our previous accounts. What do you think?"

Gu Yao's pupils tightened instantly, and his hand at the side clenched into a fist.

"you..."

Jiang Xunmo smiled again and said a name: "Feng Da, you should know him."

Gu Yao's face changed drastically. He took a step back and pretended to be calm and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Others cast their eyes in this direction.

Jiang Xunmo stood up, shrugged nonchalantly, and pointed outside the door: "My lawyers are here, please contact your family's lawyer."

After saying that, Jiang Xunmo walked around Gu Yao and opened the office door.

The Jiang family's lawyer was standing at the door. When he saw Jiang Xunmo, he pushed his glasses down and said, "Master, I have brought the information of those people as you ordered."

Gu Yao couldn't hold it in any longer: "Jiang Xunmo!"

Jiang Xunmo didn't even turn his head.

Gu Yao called out again: "Jiang Xunmo! Wait a moment."

Jiang Xunmo stopped and asked, "Anything else?"

Gu Yao gritted his teeth, and these words seemed to come out from between his teeth: "I don't think it's necessary to make such a big fuss about this matter."

Jiang Xunmo looked back at Gu Yao and said with a smile, "But didn't you just say we'll see each other in court? Why, are you going back on your word again?"

Lin Bai also looked at Gu Yao in surprise: "Brother Gu, we can't just let this matter go!"

He really couldn't stand Jiang Xunmo's arrogance. Isn't it just going to court? What do they have to be afraid of?

Gu Yao didn't even look at Lin Bai, but gritted his teeth and said: "I think we still have room for discussion on this matter."

Too much time had passed, or perhaps Gu Yao was so overwhelmed by anger that he almost forgot that Jiang Xunmo still had the leverage over him.

Fighting in school is a small matter, but instigating thugs to beat minors is no small matter.

Although Gu Yao was confident that he would not be punished too severely, the other party was Jiang Xunmo, so he had to be careful.

Gu Yao would not allow even the slightest stain to remain on the trajectory of his life.

Gu Yao looked at Jiang Xunmo closely, his clenched fingers revealing his inner uneasiness and nervousness at the moment.

Jiang Xunmo looked back at him after a long while: "Have you made up your mind?"

Gu Yao said, "I've thought about it."

When he said this, all the students in Class 6 were dumbfounded.

How come you just said you could go to court, but suddenly changed your mind?

What did Jiang Xunmo say to Gu Yao just now?

Lin Bai was so angry that he shouted, "Brother Gu!"

Teacher Wu had the same grim expression as Lin Bai. He had already spoken, but Gu Yao went back on his word.

Teacher Wu is in a very awkward situation. He is not a rich second-generation like Gu Yaolin Bai, nor is he the person involved. He is just their class teacher. If the people involved don't care about this matter, what can Teacher Wu do?

"Gu Yao," Teacher Wu took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound calmer, "Have you really thought it through?"

Gu Yao turned around under Jiang Xunmo's gaze, looked at Teacher Wu, and then at the head teacher.

The words he had just said were taken back by himself so quickly. Gu Yao felt the worst. He just felt a burning sensation on his face.

"I've thought about it, Teacher Wu. Let's resolve this matter within the school." After Gu Yao said this, he wanted to smile, but after trying for a long time, he couldn't force out a smile. Instead, his expression became more distorted.

Teacher Wu's face suddenly darkened.

The head teacher breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Gu Yao no longer cares, then——

He looked at Jiang Xunmo.

Jiang Xunmo signaled the lawyer not to come in, and said to the head teacher, "Head teacher, please handle it as you should."

The head teacher was waiting for Jiang Xunmo to say this!

"That's fine. You all should apologize to each other, and then each of you should go back and write a 2,000-word self-criticism. You will go up and make self-criticisms one by one during the flag-raising ceremony on Monday. Of course, there will be punishment. Our school's playground will be divided along the center line. The left side will be for Class 1, and the right side will be for Class 6. You will have to sweep the playground until the end of this semester. Do you have any objections?"

The students in Class One and Class Six dared not to have any opinions at this moment. Not inviting the parents was already the best way to deal with the situation!

"No problem!" It was rare for the students from the two classes to reach a consensus.

The grade director nodded with satisfaction and looked at the two head teachers.

Teacher Wang shook his head.

Teacher Wu was still holding his breath, but now he could only swallow it and shook his head.

The head teacher said, "Okay, then you can apologize to each other and go back to your classes. This is the end of the class."

Soon the office was filled with "I'm sorry"s.

As for how much sincerity there is in these "I'm sorrys", there is no way of knowing.

The bell for the second class rang, and Jiang Xunmo and his group returned to the classroom.

Ye Chaoran was relieved when he saw someone coming back.

"Are you okay?" Ye Chaoran couldn't help but ask as soon as Jiang Xunmo sat down.

Jiang Xunmo looked at Ye Chaoran steadily and shook his head.

There were too many people coming back to the class at once, and the silence in the classroom was instantly broken, with the students' subdued discussions ringing out everywhere.

Fu Xin, who was sitting in the front seat, also looked excited and excitedly told his deskmate what had just happened in the office.

Ye Chaoran was sitting behind them, so he could hear it clearly.

When he heard the word "legal team", Ye Chaoran frowned immediately.

Fu Xin was still praising: "Really! You don't know how handsome Brother Jiang was at that time! My god, at that time I felt that today's fight was so worth it! Damn it, I just regretted that there were too many people at that time, and I didn't find a chance to beat Gu Yao hard twice..."

Ye Chaoran turned to look at Jiang Xunmo.

Noticing his gaze, Jiang Xunmo also looked at him.

Ye Chaoran decided to speak up: "Did you know they would come to cause trouble today?"

Jiang Xunmo nodded and did not deny: "Yeah."

"How did you guess that?" Ye Chaoran asked.

Everything is over now, and Jiang Xunmo has nothing to hide from Ye Chaoran.

"During the monthly exam, right after I finished my Chinese test, I received the message you sent me."

Ye Chaoran thought carefully about the message he sent to Jiang Xunmo that day. It seemed that he didn't mention anyone by name, right?

How did Jiang Xunmo guess who it was just based on this one sentence?

As if he could see what Ye Chaoran was thinking, Jiang Xunmo continued, "There are quite a few people in your examination room, it won't be hard to find out."

Jiang Xunmo's voice was very low, and Ye Chaoran couldn't help but move closer to hear more clearly. His eyes fell on Ye Chaoran's earlobe, which was close to him. Because of the distance, he could see a layer of fine hairs on the boy's fair skin, which made him feel itchy.

Ye Chaoran said: "Then you should have told me in advance so that I could be prepared and help..."

"Your leg hasn't recovered yet," Jiang Xunmo thought of the love sutra Jiang Ze sent him, found a suitable quote from a domineering boss, and imitated the tone and said, "It's not your turn to worry about such a small matter, just take good care of your injury."

It was just that this was his first time imitating a domineering CEO. Maybe it was because he was nervous, but Jiang Xunmo didn't even imitate one-third of the domineering CEO's tone. However, his serious expression, coupled with his incredibly handsome face, created an unexpected effect.

Ye Chaoran stared at Jiang Xunmo's dark eyes for a moment, then suddenly stood up and distanced himself from Jiang Xunmo.

Too close!

He just felt Jiang Xunmo's breath hitting his face.

Ye Chaoran's heart was pounding and he didn't dare look at Jiang Xunmo again. He could only nod twice randomly and add "hmm".

Jiang Xunmo: “…”

Why is Ye Chaoran's reaction different from what is said in the “Love Sutra”?

In "The Heart Sutra of Love", after the domineering president said this, his little wife was so moved that tears fell. She hugged the domineering president and asked him if it hurt.

His relationship with Ye Chaoran has not yet reached the level of a domineering president and his little wife, so Ye Chaoran won't hug him and cry, but he should at least ask him if it hurts!

Ye Chaoran actually knows everything! without! ask!

Jiang Xunmo fell into deep doubt.

Was it because the tone he just imitated was not right, or was there something wrong with the "Love Sutra" that Jiang Ze sent him?

Jiang Xunmo was a little worried.

Of course, his worries are nothing more than the result of being in a situation where he is not familiar with the situation.

As soon as Jiang Xunmo entered the classroom, Ye Chaoran looked him up and down to make sure that Jiang Xunmo was unharmed.

It's normal if you think about it. Jiang Xunmo is a black belt in Taekwondo, so he can't get hurt no matter who gets hurt.

Ye Chaoran didn't think much about this matter at all. What he thought was that there seemed to be something wrong with his heart today -

It accelerated twice!

Ye Chaoran glanced cautiously at Jiang Xunmo beside him, and happened to meet Jiang Xunmo's gaze.

Both of them were startled, and then looked away at the same time the next second.

Jiang Xunmo sighed.

I really don't care. Is it because my method is wrong?

Ye Chaoran frowned.

If this continues, things might get a little bad!

On the other side, as soon as the head teacher left, Lin Bai couldn't help but said, "Brother Gu! What on earth do you mean?! Why should we give in to that grandson of Jiang Xunmo?"

"Who is he? Isn't it just a case of going to court? What are you afraid of?"

"I really don't understand you. You're trying to show off to others!"

Gu Yao's expression was equally grim. He glared at Lin Bai, and then thought of the name Jiang Xunmo had just whispered in his ear. The gloom in his eyes grew even heavier. He said in a deep voice, "What do you know? If things get really serious, do you really think we can win?"

"Whether we win or not, you can't let Jiang Xunmo suffer any loss, right?" Lin Bai was really angry. He cursed several times and said, "When I was fighting just now, secretly attacked me, and someone you..."

"Is it interesting?" Gu Yao interrupted Lin Bai sharply, "After all, if you hadn't suggested going to watch the fun in the beginning, this wouldn't have happened today!"

Lin Bai looked at Gu Yao in astonishment: "So you are blaming me?"

Gu Yao said coldly: "You know who is the instigator."

Without paying any more attention to Lin Bai, Gu Yao turned around and left.

Lin Bai yelled angrily: "Who the hell are you looking at me for?! Gu Yao, do you really treat me as a brother?"

Gu Yao didn't even stop.

Lin Bai kicked the trash can next to him and yelled, "Fuck it!"

The sound of the trash can falling was deafening. Everyone around Lin Bai looked at each other, not daring to breathe.

The teachers in the hallway heard the noise and came out one after another: "Who kicked the trash can over? Who did it?"

Several people quickly lifted up the trash can and went to pull Lin Bai out.

"Brother Lin, let's go back quickly."

"Brother Lin, don't be angry with Brother Gu. He probably did that for our own good..."

"Bullshit!" Lin Bai cursed.

The others were far away and did not hear what Jiang Xunmo said to Gu Yao, but Lin Bai was close and heard a word or two.

Damn Gu Yao has Jiang Xunmo's leverage over him, so he wants to drag his brothers down with him to suffer together!

This time, Lin Bai saw through Gu Yao. Gu Yao was a complete egoist. For the sake of his own interests, he didn't care about other people's feelings at all.

He had always regarded Gu Yao as his best brother before, but now it seems that his friendship with Gu Yao for more than ten years is nothing in Gu Yao's eyes!

The foul air kept sliding down Lin Bai's throat, and Lin Bai couldn't swallow it at all.

No, he glanced in the direction of Class 1. This matter cannot be let go like this. Sooner or later, he will get Jiang Xunmo back!

The news that Jiang Xunmo ranked second in the grade spread like wildfire throughout the school in no time. At the same time, the news that Class 1 and Class 6 had a fight outside the door of Class 1 classroom was also spread.

All the students were surprised to hear the two pieces of news at first glance, but the latter piece of news interested them more.

"Did Jiang Xunmo really rank second in the grade?"

"Doesn't every class have a report card? How can it be faked?"

"That's right. I'm more curious about why Class 1 and Class 6 started fighting?"

"Yeah, yeah, I heard it seemed like a group fight?"

"Both classes were punished to sweep the playground, but they didn't tell us why!"

At this time, someone said, "I know the reason! I watched them fight this morning! It seems that Gu Yaolin Bai said that if Jiang Xunmo could get second place in the grade, they would call Jiang Xunmo dad. But Jiang Xunmo passed, and the two of them didn't want to call him dad, so the people from Class 6 started fighting first!"

Many people were extremely shocked.

"Because of this?"

“Is this true or false?”

"Really! I was there this morning! I heard Jiang Xunmo say with my own ears, 'Of course I came here to call me dad in person.' If you don't believe me, you can go ask the people in Class 1!"

Soon someone ran to ask the students in Class 1.

A classmate from Class 1 burst into laughter: "Of course it's true! Those bastards from Class 6 are all so cowardly. They don't keep their word after losing the bet. Ugh!"

"I didn't expect that Gu Yao would be this kind of person..."

"It's too shameless to be unable to afford to lose."

"My filter for Gu Yao is shattered!"

Most of these words are said by girls.

The other boys are:

"Fuck... I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have said something like this before..."

"Damn it, idiot Gu Yao."

"Lin Bai is such a fucking moron!"

"They really are friends. They are so stupid together!"

The news that Gu Yaolin Bai and others "would rather gamble and refuse to admit defeat than let Jiang Xunmo's father be beaten" once again spread throughout No. 1 Middle School.

After hearing such an outrageous rumor, Lin Bai was so angry that he kicked two more trash cans.

Although Gu Yao looked unhappy, he did not think of clarifying the matter. Because the more you clarify something like this, the more people will think you are quibbling. It's better to wait for the storm to pass and no one will mention it again.

What Gu Yao and others never expected was that after the self-study class the next morning, there were many students from other classes outside Class 1's classroom door.

A fight had just happened yesterday, and the students in Class 1 were very alert. They looked at everyone and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Twenty or thirty students from different grades and classes looked at each other, and finally one of them spoke up with a thick skin: "We are here to find Jiang Xunmo, not to fight! We don't fight!"

After hearing this, Ye Chaoran looked at Jiang Xunmo. What was going on?

Jiang Xunmo himself didn't know either, so the two of them walked out of the classroom together.

The moment Jiang Xunmo stepped out of the classroom, he heard a uniform, deafening voice - "Dad!"

Ye Chaoran: “???”

Jiang Xunmo: “…”

Others: “…………”

The author has something to say:

Here we come!

I really like slapping people in the face, hehehe.
