Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions drastically.
They were, after all, the ladies of prominent families in Rongcheng. How could they tolerate being called shrewish by a mere brat?
"You're Lu Qingyao? You have absolutely no manners!"
"How can someone like this be studying at the same school as my son? I even suspect that the admissions office of Ronggao High School is incompetent."
"Where is the principal? This has blown up so much, why is he nowhere to be seen? This student who beats people up like this should be expelled immediately."
The head teacher finally heard what she wanted to hear. Her cheeks were swollen, and she still put on her usual serious demeanor, which was quite ridiculous.
"Don't worry, everyone. We've already notified the principal, and he should be arriving soon."
Ignoring the scrutinizing gazes of the gossipy women, Lu Qingyao walked up to Ms. Lu and bowed his head in apology.
"I'm sorry, Mom, I've embarrassed you by making you look bad here."
Ms. Lu looked at her son, who was a head taller than her, and asked him, "Do you think you did something wrong?"
Lu Qingyao answered without hesitation: "No, I would do it again if it happened again."
The women present all showed angry expressions and vowed to expel this arrogant brat from school.
Ms. Lu patted Lu Qingyao on the shoulder, a smile on her face.
“This is my son. As long as you don’t regret it, I will support you unconditionally.”
Ms. Lu told Lu Qingyao that the company's people would arrive soon and the matter could be resolved in the afternoon.
"If you don't want to stay here, go back to class."
How could Lu Qingyao leave her here alone? He leaned close to Ms. Lu's ear and whispered something.
Ms. Lu's expression changed. "This is such a small matter, Mom can handle it. Why are you bothering the old man?"
Lu Qingyao didn't speak, but he had already made a plan in his mind.
When the mother and son left the Lu family, the old man made it clear that he was the only heir to the Lu family, and those illegitimate children should not even think about it.
Lu Qingyao will be an adult in less than a month. Even if he doesn't go back then, the old man will send someone to invite him.
Having not been in contact for so many years, Lu Qingyao didn't want the old man to be embarrassed to ask him for a favor, so he decided to take the initiative to give the old man a way out.
The principal arrived earlier than Ms. Lu's company's legal counsel. When he came in, he was covered in sweat and panting heavily, clearly having rushed over.
He'll be retiring in a year, and as long as he lives a peaceful and stable life, he can live a very comfortable life in his later years.
Who would have thought that something like this would happen so close to retirement?
The principal of Ronggao High School has never been considered anything special by parents.
Those with real power are the school board members; parents can usually boss the principal around like crazy.
The woman who had started hurling insults at Ms. Lu felt relieved when she saw the principal arrive, as if she had found her pillar of support.
"Principal, you've finally..."
The principal didn't even glance at her, but instead bowed and scraped as he walked toward Lu Qingyao, grabbed his arm, and showered him with concern and care.
"Young Master, why did you do this yourself? Did you hurt yourself? Should we go to the hospital? If the old man investigates, I won't be able to explain myself." He was terrified.
Lu Qingyao knew what he meant by those words, and with a slight smile, he said, "I'm fine, I appreciate the principal's concern, but there's an important matter that I need the principal to handle."
Knowing he was safe, the principal wiped the sweat from his brow and smiled obsequiously, "Young master, what are you saying? I'd be more than happy to do anything for you."
As he spoke, he turned around to face the group of women and children, straightened his back, and casually surveyed the scene with an air of superiority.
“I understand your feelings, but the truth is probably not what you think.”
