Chapter Sixty-Four: Coming to cause trouble at the wedding!
They returned to China safely, and Xia Chenggan continued to work as a model worker.
Zhou Ran continued her studies, just to make up the numbers.
Since returning, Zhou Ran has been avoiding Xia Chenggan for several days.
Actually, it doesn't matter whether they hide or not; one is busy with work, and the other is busy with school.
The time we spent together didn't overlap much, so we only met once or twice in the past few days.
Zhou Ran avoided Xia Chenggan because he clearly remembered what happened after he drank too much.
The body may be drunk, but the soul remembers clearly.
Zhou Ran felt that she was regressing in her life, which must be due to the influence of her remaining soul.
She actually acted coquettishly towards Xia Chenggan and even acted like a hooligan.
That's so embarrassing.
When Zhou Ran saw Xia Chenggan, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, thinking about the time she had groped and acted like a hooligan.
As for what was said about the soul and Xia Chenggan, he didn't care.
As clever as Xia Chenggan was, he had already guessed most of it, so it didn't matter whether he said it or not.
The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he became.
I've felt uncomfortable even seeing Xia Chengping and Xia Chengan these past two days.
"What's wrong with you lately? Are you having a fear of marriage?"
Seeing that Zhou Ran had been acting strangely for the past two days, Xia Chengping couldn't keep it to himself and asked her directly.
"It's nothing, why did you come out?"
"Oh, you were kicked out because you didn't do your homework."
The two brothers, both in the same boat, continued chatting outside the classroom.
This has almost become their permanent position at the school.
Xia Chengping was kicked out of class by the teacher for various reasons, while Zhou Ran had only one reason: sleeping in class.
It's not that Zhou Ran doesn't want to study hard, it's that he just doesn't have the "study gene."
I can't help but feel sleepy as soon as I hear the teacher speak; it's even more effective than a lullaby.
Have you heard?
"What?"
"I heard someone is planning to disrupt the wedding and cause you trouble."
Xia Chengping leaned closer and said, "Xia Cheng'an asked me to remind you that there will be many of my brother's admirers that day, and they might cause you trouble."
“I’ve also heard some rumors that you’re a scheming woman who’s used any means to get to the top, and that they want to take you down and snatch my brother back from you.”
"Tch, do they think your brother is some naive and innocent fool? If methods were effective, I would have taken power eight hundred years ago."
Xia Chengping nodded in agreement; he had personally witnessed Zhou Ran's methods.
You don't need many moves; just one or two casually used moves would be enough to defeat most people.
That's because his brother is so capable, able to fight his way out of the encirclement.
However, it seems that they have now been successfully trapped.
"Anyway, be careful, the wedding is definitely not going to be peaceful."
"Let them come, I'm afraid they're just idiots."
"Brother Zhou is awesome!"
Xia Chengping showered him with compliments, saying he liked his domineering demeanor, which reminded him of the arrogant protagonist in novels.
Zhou Ran pointed to the playground below.
"Who is that? Has something happened?"
Xia Chengping then looked away from his brother Zhou and in the direction he was pointing.
A girl in a school uniform was seen being pushed and shoved towards a corner.
"It seems so. Should we go take a look?"
"Let's go, we're just killing time anyway, let's do a good deed every day."
Zhou Ran waved, and Xia Chengping followed.
Zhou Ran is not the type to cause trouble and never takes the initiative to help others.
After he returned, he made a point of inquiring about it.
Xia's parents are fine, and Xia Chengjie is still recovering from his injuries.
Xia Chengan is keeping a close watch on Gu Tingxiao's side, and I've heard he's been causing a lot of trouble lately.
Tied up by work, I wish I could live and die with it, and have no time to cause trouble.
The atmosphere on campus is a bit strange.
He asked Xia Chengping and Xia Chengan, but neither of them noticed anything.
Zhou Ran, however, felt that it was not simple.
Since the person behind this wants to steal the Xia family's fortune, they're bound to cause trouble.
Xia Chengan maintained strict vigilance, preventing any movement elsewhere, but the situation on campus was relaxed.
He would definitely find a breakthrough from this.
The two of them rushed silently to the spot where the girl had disappeared.
There's nowhere nearby where people can hide.
Do you know any places around here where people get into trouble?
"Over there, I remember there was an old, abandoned dormitory here. It's said that someone committed suicide in this dormitory."
Then the haunting started; many students said they saw it, causing quite a stir. The school, fearing something bad might happen, abandoned the place.
"Go over there."
These legends about ghosts and monsters are mostly passed down by people. In many places, it's not that there are vengeful spirits, but rather that there are bad people.
They use rumors to instill fear and prevent people from coming here.
Over time, it becomes a secluded, undisturbed place where one can freely spread their malice.
The two followed the path and came to a moon gate.
Behind the moon gate is a two-story brick and tile building.
The architectural style suggests that the building dates back a long time.
The moss, lush vegetation, and dilapidated bricks and tiles everywhere indicate that this place has been abandoned for a long time.
Xia Chengping pointed to the second floor.
"I heard that the senior who committed suicide jumped from the second floor."
"At most, people will lose an arm or a leg at this height, but they won't die."
The previous buildings were all relatively short, with the second floor only three to five meters high. At that height, a fall wouldn't kill anyone.
"I heard that the senior first attempted suicide by cutting her wrists, and blood was everywhere. Her roommate, who suddenly returned, found out and wanted to take her to the hospital, but she struggled and rushed out of the window and jumped."
As Xia Chengping spoke, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"I heard that the senior jumped headfirst, and her brains spilled out. It was terrifying."
Do you know why he committed suicide?
"I don't know, but there are rumors that she was cheated on by a scumbag."
Zhou Ran frowned. Most people wouldn't choose such a gruesome way to die after being scammed.
Such a resolute decision indicates either self-loathing or utter despair and a desire to die.
It seems that this small building holds many secrets.
"Shall we go in?"
Xia Chengping asked cautiously, revealing that he didn't really want to go in.
Because the fearless Fourth Young Master Xia is afraid of ghosts.
"Go, and if you're afraid, wait for me outside."
"No, I saw it in a horror movie. The person who is alone dies the first, especially the person who is keeping watch."
Zhou Ran said helplessly, "If you're scared, why are you still watching?"
"curious."
Xia Chengping said embarrassedly.
"Let's go."
Zhou Ran was speechless and could only respect the situation.
They climbed over the wall and went inside. Xia Chengping took out his phone and started recording a video.
What are you doing?
"I'll record a video so I can brag about it when I get back, and have evidence that I went deep into the haunted house. That way, Xia Cheng'an, that disrespectful old man, won't keep saying I'm a coward."
"Whatever makes you happy, just don't make a sound."
"Uh-huh."
They walked down the first-floor corridor to the second-floor staircase.
Zhou Ran keenly noticed that there wasn't much dust on the stairs, but there were messy footprints.
Ghosts don't leave footprints on stairs; someone must come here often.
Zhou Ran signaled to Xia Chengping to be careful, and Xia Chengping kept his mouth shut and followed closely behind Zhou Ran.
The haunted building was eerie; as soon as he entered, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He had a persistent feeling that someone was following him, and if Zhou Ran hadn't been there, he would have wanted to go back.
Zhou Ran carefully avoided some obstacles and searched for the problematic area on the second floor.
The corridor was cleaner than I expected, but footsteps were more chaotic, with some running out and others running in.
Zhou Ran carefully looked at each room one by one.
Xia Chengping followed behind, stealing a glance before clutching his chest and comforting himself for a moment.
They had walked halfway through the room when they suddenly heard laughter.
"Hahaha!"
Xia Chengping almost shouted, but thankfully he reacted quickly and neatly covered his mouth with his hand, manually muting his microphone.
Zhou Ran ignored Xia Chengping and carefully walked towards the direction from which the sound came.
The closer you are, the more sounds you hear.
There was laughter, laughter of pleas for mercy, and teasing sounds.
Zhou Ran frowned. She didn't need to look; she could tell what was happening inside just by listening to the sounds.
"School bullying?" Xia Chengping also heard this and silently asked Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran shook her head, gesturing for him to come closer to look.
Xia Chengping cautiously approached and carefully peeked over.
Upon seeing the scene inside, I almost couldn't resist rushing up and hitting someone.
It is indeed school bullying, no, it's no longer school bullying, it's criminal offense. How can it be considered bullying?
The girl begging for mercy was wearing a school uniform, and he knew the person who was bullying her.
One was a teacher from the academic affairs office, and the other was a bald, boastful old man who seemed to be in charge of logistics.
One is a teacher in charge of the senior year math department, and the other is a nitpicker with hair, glasses, a square face, who complains every day about how stupid this person is and that person is stupid.
One is a teacher who was just promoted to vice principal this year. He talks about school rules and regulations all the time and is an old-fashioned person who is full of benevolence and morality.
Who would have thought these three guys would end up together?
They were bullying a little girl together. I caught a glimpse of the girl's face, and I recognized her.
Isn't this Cong Yun, the top student from the next class?
Their school is a private elite college that emphasizes elite education.
To put it bluntly, the students we accept are either from wealthy families or have ancestors who were wealthy. The worst students are those who are academically excellent but from impoverished backgrounds.
Occasionally, these elite schools will also recruit some high-achieving students in order to improve their college entrance examination pass rates.
As long as your grades are good enough, all tuition and miscellaneous fees will be waived, and you will even receive some financial support.
Therefore, on campus, there are some unruly young masters and ladies, and a small number of academic high-achievers who are oblivious to the world around them.
The young masters and ladies have their own social circles and won't bother those academic high-achievers.
As for school bullying? Actually, it's not that common, unless someone really has psychological problems and is willing to risk their image.
Or perhaps some people are just blind and have really offended them.
They are rich people, not fools.
From a young age, they learned the way of elites and the way of employing people.
How to maximize benefits using existing resources.
In the eyes of these rich young ladies.
These top students, if properly cultivated, could become their future asset.
Commonly known as cattle and horses.
For a good capitalist
You can receive good cattle and horses, you don't have to worry about betrayal, and you have a steady stream of money.
The benefits it brings.
It's better to avoid the benefits of being indecisive and using underhanded tricks to torment people.
Much more.
Therefore, many people form cliques, with the leaders being the children of wealthy families and the followers being the top students.
They receive funding from these people at school, essentially selling their future potential for a win-win situation.
Of course, there are also some who are too proud to submit.
Many people find it troublesome and won't easily seek out trouble.
Of course, there are occasionally those who cause trouble, but these good students also have the protection of their teachers and won't have a bad time.
It won't be like a campus drama such as Meteor Garden.
They're constantly launching school-wide boycotts; the campus isn't above the law.
These rich kids aren't stupid; they won't let others use them as pawns for no good reason.
So overall, apart from those who are truly mentally challenged, their school is basically no different from a regular school.
It is even affected by the various intricate relationships between families.
Their school is more peaceful than other schools, and there are basically no fights or brawls that require parents to be called in.
Of course, this is not absolute; it just means that every school has its idiots and troublemakers.
As for Cong Yun, who was bullied inside.
As far as Xia Chengping knew, he did not rely on any wealthy second-generation heirs and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his studies.
A stubborn person who wants to create his own world with his own hands.
Because of her good grades, he usually took good care of her, but I never expected that this care came from such a way.
