Zhang Xiuying's face was filled with gloom.
In the Luo family, her word was law, and she was used to being strong towards her three daughters-in-law and descendants. Now, she was so angry that she completely ignored the occasion and started to attack Luo Qi.
"You little bastard, I was the one who decided to give you that small apartment. It has nothing to do with your grandfather. If you want to blame someone, blame me. But do you dare to blame me? Everything I give you is a favor, and you should be grateful for it. I am the one who controls the entire Luo family, which is why we have the power and prestige we have today. Even if I don't give you anything, what can you do? Stop the nonsense, you have to agree today, whether you agree or not!"
Seeing that the old lady had lost her composure and was speaking without thinking, Uncle Chen quickly whispered to her, "Old lady, anger is harmful to your health. Please calm down!"
As he spoke, he deliberately used his finger to guide Zhang Xiuying's gaze towards Liu Dejiang, indicating to her that this was someone else's office, not the Luo family's ancestral home.
At this moment, Liu Dejiang and Lu Zhengming were dumbfounded. They had never expected that the old mistress of the Luo family would be like this.
In most families, the eldest grandchild is often the most beloved by their grandparents. However, her behavior was nothing like how a grandmother would treat her eldest grandchild. Far from showing affection, she seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for him.
They all looked at Luo Qi with sympathy, worried about him. Luo Qi had already been targeted so deliberately when he was still Zhang Xiuying's eldest grandson. Now that he was no longer even the Luo family's adopted son, wouldn't he be eaten alive?
Zhang Xiuying gave Uncle Chen a sidelong look, frightening him so much that he quickly stepped back. Only then did he suddenly realize that the old lady hadn't lost her composure just now, but had done it on purpose.
She acted in this way deliberately in order to take advantage of her age and status to make a scene and cause the principal Liu Dejiang to feel uneasy and reluctant to intervene.
Liu Dejiang had indeed thought of standing by and watching. He had seen that Zhang Xiuying was determined to not give up until she achieved her goal today, otherwise she would not have said such inappropriate words.
However, unlike Liu Dejiang, Lu Zhengming ignored Zhang Xiuying's schemes. As Luo Qi's homeroom teacher, he expected her to excel in the college entrance exams and didn't understand Zhang Xiuying's tantrums; he simply wanted to protect her.
Lu Zhengming said solemnly to Zhang Xiuying, "Ms. Zhang, you're too overbearing. Now that Luo Qi has signed the documents to reclaim the house, he has no connection to your Luo family, nor to Mr. Luo Jianguo. He has no obligation to do anything for the Luo family, let alone sacrifice his kidney!"
Zhang Xiuying immediately shifted her gaze and stared at Lu Zhengming. There was a hint of viciousness in her cloudy pupils, which made Lu Zhengming feel uneasy.
Lu Zhengming swallowed involuntarily, but he forced himself to remain calm, his eyes firm, and he did not back down as he looked at Zhang Xiuying.
Zhang Xiuying stared at Lu Zhengming for a few seconds, secretly cursing him as a "country bumpkin" in her heart, but she asked arrogantly, "Who are you?"
This question was pure insult. Liu Dejiang had clearly just introduced Lu Zhengming's identity, but she was still asking who Lu Zhengming was. It was obvious that she had just not taken Lu Zhengming seriously and was too lazy to even remember his name and identity.
Faced with such blatant insult, Lu Zhengming, who was upright and full of pure literary nobility, was immediately furious.
He said coldly and forcefully, "Madam, I address you as Madam out of respect for your advanced age, not because of your distinguished family background. Please don't take advantage of your age to act like a spoiled brat at school; that doesn't demonstrate your nobility."
Just now, he despised Zhang Xiuying's shamelessness and could see that she felt embarrassed. Now that she was deliberately insulting him, he naturally wouldn't be polite and would directly hit her sore spot.
He wanted to ask Zhang Xiuying, "Don't you pride yourself on your wealth? Don't you consider yourself noble and look down on teachers? Then aren't you ashamed of yourself for acting like a clown in school and bullying a child?"
Most of the people Zhang Xiuying had come into contact with in the past were from the upper class of society. Sometimes, when she used some inappropriate language, others would still respect and flatter her because of her status as the mistress of the Luo family and her advanced age.
But now she was being mocked by a teacher she despised. How could she bear it? She felt a tightness in her chest, knowing it was a sign of an impending heart attack. She hurriedly said to Uncle Chen, "Quick, give me the pills!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Chen quickly took out a small white jade bottle inlaid with gold edges and fine diamonds from his bag, poured out a few small pills into the bottle cap, and then gave it to Zhang Xiuying to hold in her mouth.
After packing up the small jade bottle, Uncle Chen advised Zhang Xiuying, "Madam, there's no need to rush this matter now. Why don't we go home first and then make a long-term plan."
Zhang Xiuying closed her eyes for a while before slowly opening them and meeting the nervous gazes of Liu Dejiang and Lu Zhengming.
She turned coldly to look at Luo Qi, but saw a deep sense of gloating in his eyes. Her heartbeat, which had calmed down, began to speed up again. She quickly turned her head and took a deep breath to suppress her excitement.
Lu Zhengming was also shocked to see Zhang Xiuying nearly having a heart attack because of his words. If an old lady of such status was to suffer any harm because of his anger, he could not afford to compensate her.
Liu Dejiang was also very scared. He understood better than Lu Zhengming the consequences of Zhang Xiuying getting angry and having an attack here. Now that he saw that she had finally recovered, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Dejiang also spoke to Zhang Xiuying, "Madam Zhang, for your health, let's discuss this matter later. Even if Luo Qi is willing to donate a kidney to Mr. Luo, he has to wait until after he takes the college entrance examination. Otherwise, how can he take the college entrance examination after the operation? Wouldn't this delay the child's future? Don't you think?"
After Liu Dejiang finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Luo Qi, signaling him to be quiet. He knew that what he said would definitely cause Luo Qi's dissatisfaction, but at this moment he could only calm Luo Qi down.
Luo Qi didn't see anything wrong with what Liu Dejiang said. After all, he was just a naive high school student with little social experience. However, after receiving Liu Dejiang's glance, he instantly understood.
Luo Qi was furious and wanted to refute Liu Dejiang immediately, but Lu Zhengming quietly pulled him back. He turned to look at Lu Zhengming, who was shaking his head with worry in his eyes, so he held back and didn't speak.
However, Luo Qi no longer trusts Liu Dejiang as much as before.
However, in reality, as the principal, Liu Dejiang only cares about the college entrance examination results. As for what will happen to Luo Qi after the college entrance examination, it has nothing to do with him.
Although Liu Dejiang had a good idea, his words were directly rejected by Zhang Xiuying.
"Principal Liu, this little bastard must donate a kidney to his grandfather before the college entrance exam. If you still want him to take the exam, then have him go to the hospital to donate a kidney tomorrow. That way, he'll be able to take the exam after a month or two of recuperation."
