Chapter 582 This child seems to be different from others.
In Master Li's study, Gu Qingchen stood obediently aside, his hands hanging at his sides, his face tense.
"Do you know your mistake?" Master Li sat behind the desk, his voice heavy.
Gu Qingchen bit his lip and said, "It's wrong to take action, but Master, what they said was too much!"
"Excessive?" Master Li put down the scroll in his hand. "Then you should take action?"
"I" Gu Qingchen opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but found that he was in the wrong.
Master Li looked at her and sighed, "Do you know who Lin Jiayou is?"
Gu Qingchen shook his head, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"He is the son of the Princess of Prince Yong's Mansion," Master Li said slowly. "He has a special background and has been subject to criticism since childhood."
Gu Qingchen was stunned: "He's the princess's child? Then why is he..."
"Why didn't he resist?" Master Li continued, "Because he's already used to these rumors. Resistance would only make them speak more harshly."
Gu Qingchen thought of Lin Jiayou's overly calm eyes, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
"Master, is what those people said true?" she asked in a low voice.
Master Li shook his head. "What does it matter whether it's true or not? Since he's studying here, he's a student of our Bailu Private School. No one should be humiliated because of their background."
Gu Qingchen: "I understand."
"What do you understand?" Master Li asked.
"I know I shouldn't hit people." Gu Qingchen answered honestly.
Master Li was at a loss for words: "That's all?"
Gu Qingchen blinked: "What else?"
"You little girl," Master Li shook his head helplessly, "forget it. As for today's matter, go back and copy the Three Character Classic a hundred times and hand it in tomorrow."
"One hundred times?" Gu Qingchen's eyes widened. "Master, isn't that too much?"
"Too much?" Master Li raised an eyebrow. "Then two hundred times."
"No, no, no! Just a hundred times will be enough!" Gu Qingchen waved his hands quickly.
Walking out of the study, Gu Qingchen saw Lin Jiayou still standing in the yard, seemingly waiting for her.
"Why are you still here?" Gu Qingchen walked over and asked.
Lin Jiayou looked at her: "I want to ask you, have you been punished?"
"Copy the book a hundred times." Gu Qingchen curled his lips, "It's all because of you!"
Lin Jiayou lowered his eyes: "I'm sorry."
"Forget it." Gu Qingchen waved his hand carelessly, "I'm used to being punished anyway. But you, why don't you resist?"
Lin Jiayou was silent for a moment: "Is resistance useful?"
"Of course it works!" Gu Qingchen said confidently, "Look, as soon as I made a move, didn't they run away?"
"Then you were punished to copy books." Lin Jiayou said lightly.
Gu Qingchen choked up, and after a long while he managed to utter, "That's better than being bullied!"
Lin Jiayou looked at her, something flashed in his eyes: "Why are you helping me?"
"I just can't stand it." Gu Qingchen shrugged. "I hate people who bully the weak the most."
"that's all?"
"That's it." Gu Qingchen nodded. "By the way, your name is Lin Jiayou, right? My name is Gu Qingchen."
Lin Jiayou looked at her outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and shook it: "I know."
"Then we are friends?" Gu Qingchen's eyes sparkled.
"Friend?" Lin Jiayou seemed unfamiliar with the word. "Aren't you afraid that others would say you're friends with someone like me?"
"What's with all this and that!" Gu Qingchen waved his hands impatiently. "People are just people, there's no need to be so different!"
Lin Jiayou stared at her blankly for a long time before nodding: "Okay."
Three days later, just when Chu Ruohan thought her daughter had finally settled down, Haitang hurried in.
"Madam! Something bad has happened! Someone is coming from the private school!"
Chu Ruohan was embroidering. When she heard this, she almost dropped the needle and thread in her hand: "What's wrong?"
"They say the young lady is in a private school," Haitang swallowed, "and they tore down the roof of someone's house!"
The embroidery frame in Chu Ruohan's hand fell to the ground with a "pop" sound. "What? Tear down the roof?"
"Yes!" Haitang stamped her feet anxiously. "That person said that the young lady and some children climbed onto the roof, and as a result, a big hole collapsed in the roof!"
Chu Ruohan felt dizzy. It had only been a few days, and this girl could already tear down the house?
"What else?" she asked with all her might.
"You also destroyed the headmaster's garden and trampled to death many valuable flowers and plants." Haitang said cautiously, "The headmaster asked you to come over."
Chu Ruohan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Prepare the car, I'll be there soon."
In the Bailu Private School, Principal Zhou sat in the main hall with a sullen face.
Gu Qingchen and several children stood aside, all of them covered in dust, with tiles and dirt on their clothes.
"Mrs. Gu." Director Zhou Shan stood up to greet her, forcing a smile on his face.
Chu Ruohan took one look at her daughter's miserable appearance, and her anger started to rise.
"Headmaster, I'm so sorry. This child has been naughty at home, and I didn't expect him to be like this even in the private school."
"You're too polite, ma'am." Director Zhou waved his hand. "It's just about the roof."
"Mother!" Gu Qingchen suddenly said, "Please listen to my explanation!"
Allen Chu glared at her and said, "Shut up!"
"But mother, we didn't mean to do that!" Gu Qingchen said aggrievedly, "We just wanted to save the kitten!"
"Why save the kitten?" Chu Ruohan frowned.
Qian Zhenyun whispered, "Aunt, this is what happened. During our lunch break today, we heard a cat meowing on the roof. It seemed like it was trapped."
"And then?" Chu Ruohan looked at her daughter.
"Then I wanted to go up and save it." Gu Qingchen said confidently, "But Lin Jiayou said it was too dangerous and wouldn't let me go up. I said I wasn't afraid, so he followed me up, and a few classmates followed too..."
"And then the roof collapsed?" Chu Ruohan interrupted her.
"Yes." Gu Qingchen nodded, "But the kitten was rescued!"
Chu Ruohan sighed softly. She had good intentions, but would she dare to climb onto the roof just to save a cat?
"Principal, our Zhenguo Mansion will bear all the costs of repairs." Chu Ruohan said to Principal Zhou.
"That's not necessary." Director Zhou waved his hand, "It's just that Miss Gu's temper is really..."
"I know." Chu Ruohan looked at Gu Qingchen, "Qingchen, come back with me!"
"Ah?" Gu Qingchen was stunned. "Mom, I don't want to go back! I still have to go to school!"
"What kind of school are you talking about! You even tore down someone else's roof, and you still have the nerve to talk about going to school?" Chu Ruohan was so angry that her voice changed.
"But we really wanted to save the kitten!" Gu Qingchen said anxiously, "And Lin Jiayou and the others are also involved!"
Lin Jiayou stood aside, watching all this silently, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Chu Ruohan paused, glanced at the boy standing quietly in the corner, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
This child seems to be different from others.
