Chapter 339 Sneaking Out of the Monastery to Find the Headmaster

Kong Chi said in a serious tone, "That's right, my stepmother is beautiful, good at making money, a great cook, a doctor, has studied abroad, and is also clever..."

Kong Chi rambled on for a long time, but Wen Sichen grew impatient and interrupted, "You speak so highly of your stepmother. Murong Ting and she are remarrying, which is a good thing. Why did you run away from home?"

Kong Chi: "..."

Murong Chen stammered, "She...she is good, but even with so many good points, she has one bad point!"

What's wrong with it?

"It's not good for us!" The trio's tacit understanding returned.

Kong Ran smiled and said, "It's bad enough that our stepmother treats us badly, but she's also particularly good at bewitching people. If Daddy gets together with her, he'll definitely believe her. How are the three of us supposed to live then? Running away from home is our attitude and our way of resisting. The three of us won't give in easily."

Upon hearing this, Wen Sichen immediately became indignant and nodded, "That's right, we absolutely cannot compromise! That woman Kong Wange is cunning and treacherous; we must not let her re-enter the Murong family. However..."

He still didn't quite understand: "You ran away from home, why didn't you go somewhere more comfortable? What are you doing at Yudao Academy?"

Kong Ran retorted, "If you're not coming to Yudao Academy, why don't you go to your house?"

Murong Chen followed up: "If we go to your house, will you provide food and drink?"

Kong Chi added: "Do you provide accommodation?"

"Do you give me pocket money?" the three little ones asked the most inquiring question.

Wen Sichen looked scared: "Uh, I have to ask my family for money myself, how can I afford to support the three of you?"

"That's settled then!" The three little ones rolled their eyes.

Wen Sichen turned his head awkwardly, then suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, are you three brats deliberately trying to confuse me? You've been talking for so long and still haven't said what you came to Yudao Academy for? Tell the truth now, or I'll have security arrest you!"

The three little ones: "..."

Murong Chen immediately gave Kong Ran a wink.

Kong Ran was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and immediately squatted down and cried out "Ouch!"

Wen Sichen was stunned: "Don't try to scam me, what's wrong?"

Kong Ran cried out, clutching her stomach as if she was about to cry, "My stomach hurts..."

Wen Sichen was taken aback. Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, he quickly squatted down: "Stomach ache? How does it hurt? Is it bad?"

Kong Ran blinked hard. Murong Chen and Kong Chi, under the guise of caring for her, twisted her lower back hard on both sides. Kong Ran cried out and large tears fell down her cheeks: "I don't know what hurts, it's just that my back hurts."

Is it your back or your stomach that hurts?

At this moment, Murong Chen shouted dramatically, "Boss Wen Sichen, do you have no heart? My sister is in so much pain, and you're still worrying about where she's hurting. The most important thing is to find a doctor to take a look at her!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Wen Sichen seemed to wake up from a dream and picked up Kong Ran in his arms: "The medical room here is open 24 hours a day. I'll take her there first, and you two follow behind me."

"Okay, okay!" Murong Chen replied hastily.

Wen Sichen carried Kong Ran away quickly, his steps hurried.

However, from an angle he couldn't see, Kong Ran mouthed to Kong Chi and Murong Chen: "Go quickly and come back quickly!"

Murong Chen and Kong Chi quickly replied with "OK".

The two followed for a few steps, then quietly turned onto a side path.

Wen Sichen was focused on Kong Ran and didn't notice anything else.

On the path, Murong Chen grabbed Kong Chi and said, "Brother Chi, let's hurry to the dean's office!"

Kong Chi said with some concern, "That Wen Sichen isn't someone to be trifled with either. Can Sister Ran handle it alone? What if she gets caught if she goes to the infirmary..."

"Don't think about those things. Sister Ran will definitely have a way. Our priority right now is to win over the dean! That way, we won't let Sister Ran's efforts go to waste."

Kong Chi nodded: "Let's go."

The two brothers, carrying their small schoolbags, followed the directions Kong Ran had given them and arrived at the dean's office.

Three knocks were made on the door, and a voice inside said, "Come in."

Kong Chi and Murong Chen then pushed open the door and went inside.

The dean's office was not what I had imagined. It was not spacious and bright as I had expected. Instead, it had a style reminiscent of the 1980s and 90s, heavy and rustic, with medical books everywhere—on the bookshelves, the floor, and the cabinets.

A bespectacled man with a long beard, around sixty years old, peeked out from beside a thick stack of documents on a desk. Seeing two identical-looking children walk in, he paused, startled: "You are...?"

"Hello, Grandpa Dean, we've come to give you a gift!" Kong Chi said in a serious tone.

Dean: "?"

The next second, before he could react, Kong Chi and Murong Chen opened their backpacks and took out their belongings one by one.

Murong Chen took out a dinosaur model: "Grandpa Dean, I begged my dad for a long time to buy this for my fourth birthday. Now I'm giving it to you, wishing you to be as cute as a little dinosaur."

Kong Chi took out a telescope: "Grandpa Dean, I use this telescope to look at the stars whenever I can't sleep. I'm giving it to you in the hope that you can have a good night's sleep."

Murong Chen took out a yo-yo: "Grandpa Dean, play with a yo-yo when you have nothing to do, it's good for your health!"

Kong Chi took out a rare book: "Grandpa Dean, read some books when you have time, and you won't snore when you sleep!"

Murong Chen took out a game disc: "Playing games every month will bring you good luck!"

Kong Chi took out a set of plastic Gomoku (Five in a Row): "Playing a few games every week fosters great neighborly relations!"

Watching the two children pull out ingredients like Doraemon, while muttering to themselves...

The dean couldn't help but stand up: "Wait, wait, don't take anything out yet. Tell me, who are you? Who sent you to deliver these things?"

Kong Chi and Murong Chen exchanged a glance, and then they started talking back and forth.

"My daddy is Murong Ting."

"My stepmother is practicing cultivation and fighting monsters at the Imperial Academy."

"We've come here today to plead with her."

“Our stepmother has a cousin who bribes people in the yard with a hideous face, and behind her back, she slanders and fantasizes about our stepmother!”

"There was also a homeroom teacher named Shen Chunmei who wasn't very bright."

"The assigned credit tasks are extremely unfair!"

...

The two little ones complained for more than five minutes before stopping to catch their breath.

After listening for a while, the dean finally understood and said with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, "So it's the young master of the Murong family. If I'm not mistaken, the stepmother you're talking about is Kong Wange?"

The two little ones looked at each other and nodded.

The dean stroked his beard: "So you came here tonight to stand up for Kong Wange? Does your father, Murong Ting, know about this?"

“Yes, Grandpa Dean. Don’t believe the rumors on the internet. Our daddy still loves his stepmother very much. He’s too shy to come, so the two of us came in his place.”
