Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Oxent College
Tao Ning followed Ayun in a hurry to the restaurant and just caught up with the end of the lunch. Just like when they first arrived, there were only Mrs. Song and Song Heng at the table, as well as Song Yucong who was sitting alone at the lower seat.
Song Yucong crossed his arms. Ever since Tao Ning appeared, he had been looking at him with disdain and a hint of veiled intent. The young man had obvious dark circles under his eyes. Seeing that he cautiously greeted Song Heng and Mrs. Song, but only nodded to himself, he suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable anger.
He threw the fork in his hand, making a loud noise, and said sarcastically, "Are you a pig? Why are you sleeping so long?"
His dark and sticky gaze fell on the boy's shoes and clothes, and he continued to mock him, "Wearing shoes so worn out like that? Tsk, you look so poor..."
"Song Yucong, have you had enough of this?" Mrs. Song interrupted him promptly. She spoke in English, her beautiful face filled with disappointment. Her phoenix eyes, almost identical to Song Yucong's, were tinged with anger. "If you're sick, go get some medicine. If you're asked to drop out of school again, I'll send you to England immediately!"
Song Yucong looked at her coldly, "How dare you mention my illness? Don't you know how I got it? After all, I'm not your son. I'm just a tool for you to make money..."
"Enough! Family rules, bring the family rules here!!" Mrs. Song lost even the most basic dignity. Her face was a little ferocious. She covered her chest with her hands, and her whole body was shaking with anger.
This time, Song Heng didn't act as a mediator. Instead, his expression remained unchanged as he looked at Tao Ning, who was concentrating on eating. He said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. Yu Cong is just a child who hasn't grown up yet. I'll have to trouble you to take care of him in school."
Tao Ning was almost frightened by this scene, but as he was living under someone else's roof, he could only follow the principle that Tao Yuan told him: "Watch less, listen less, and just study." So when they started arguing, he quickly lowered his head, like a frightened hamster, and just buried his head in his food.
So when Song Heng mentioned it to him, Tao Ning became extremely stiff and could only nod after racking his brains.
But he didn't expect that such a slight movement would instantly trigger an even more intense argument. Song Yucong's face was horrified, and he stared at Tao Ning with a piercing gaze. "You agree to everything he says. I say, country bumpkin, are you trying to seduce Song Heng? You even fancy a piece of trash like him, don't you feel sick?"
Bang!
A heavy slap landed on Song Yucong's face. Madam Song trembled all over and pointed at him, saying, "Kneel down!"
A slap mark quickly appeared on the man's handsome cheek. His eyes were cold, but fixed on Tao Ning, like a trapped beast staring at an innocent baby bird outside a cage. It tried every way to attract the baby bird's attention, but every time it ended up in a miserable state.
That sharp and cold look, as if he feared nothing, actually carried a hint of pain and confusion.
Tao Ning stared at him blankly. Was it an illusion? Two bodyguards rushed over and simultaneously pinned down Song Yucong's arms. He didn't resist, his expression icy. In fact, he looked a bit like a defeated peacock.
The bodyguard took the man away, and Mrs. Song also left with her. She was holding a half-meter-long whip in her hand. The whip was made of cowhide and was as cold and hard as rusty wire. It was enough to show how painful it would be if this whip hit someone.
It was supposed to be a farewell lunch, but it ended hastily in a farce. Tao Ning felt a little embarrassed, and Ayun had already packed his things.
Oxent is a non-boarding school with tuition fees of hundreds of thousands of yuan per semester. Students can apply for boarding. Generally, students who are preparing to enter top domestic universities will apply. Another part of the students are transfer students like Tao Ning. These transfer students are almost all top students from ordinary families across the country. These students are eligible to stay for free only if their grades remain in the top ten percent of the school.
Tao Ning was very excited when he got into the car, but more nervous. He placed his hands obediently on his legs, but his beautiful eyes looked around.
Seeing his innocent look, Ah Yun felt a little worried: "Master Tao Ning, I've packed everything for you. I've put all the medicine in the silver suitcase. Every Friday, I'll go to school with the driver to pick you up. Don't be afraid if you're alone in school. Just call me if anything happens..."
Tao Ning's heart skipped a beat when she picked up the phone. Her previous nervous anticipation vanished completely. She whispered, "I have a phone under my pillow. Ah Yun, did you put it in the suitcase?"
That was the cell phone Zhao Jingqun had given him. He had kept it under his pillow, never turning it on or taking it out. It was like a forgotten memory that could never be opened at the right time.
Ah Yun nodded and said, "I'll put it in for you." He took out a small notebook from his pocket and opened it. Inside were several people's phone numbers. He pointed to the first one and said, "This is my number, this is the driver's, this is the villa's internal landline, this is the young master's office, and this is the security guard's."
"Is there no Second Young Master's?"
"this……"
Everyone in the villa wanted to stay away from the Second Young Master. Who had the courage to ask for his phone number? No one.
Speak of the devil, the car door opened automatically and Song Yucong stood outside. Compared to his previous appearance of being covered in thorns, his face was pale and his clothes changed from a light-colored shirt to a black suit. His tall figure also became a little hunched, but in just a second, his aura became thorny again.
Raising his eyelids, Song Yucong glanced coldly at Tao Ning who was sitting in the corner. Rarely did he make sarcastic remarks, but sat not far away in silence.
Ayun quickly shut his mouth and dared not speak anymore. He handed the notebook to Tao Ning and got out of the car.
The car began its journey towards Oxent College, moving at a steady and gentle pace. Sitting inside, the jolts were barely noticeable. A stiff, condensed atmosphere permeated the car, but Tao Ning was oblivious. She simply felt the air conditioning was on low, making her feel a bit chilly.
The bruises had already healed, and Tao Ning sat in the corner, rubbing her elbows with her hands and curling up slightly. But even this small movement brought a cold snort from the other side.
Tao Ning was stunned and silently put down his hands, sitting in a very obedient posture. Time passed slowly, and he thought he had nothing to do anyway, so he simply opened the notebook and memorized all the phone numbers.
Just as I opened it, I heard a cold voice from the other side, but the tone was a little weaker than when he was in the restaurant. "What are you looking at?"
Tao Ning paused with her slender hand, raised her eyes, and answered seriously: "Phone number." The gaze from the opposite side was a little heavy. Tao Ning looked at him for a moment. The face of the person opposite was really sour, and if you look closely, there was even a little bit of imperceptible grievance.
Of course, Tao Ning couldn't sense these subtle emotions. Finally, as if remembering something, she belatedly asked, "...Can I have your phone number?"
