C16 He Was Looking down on Him!

"Yufei, do you want me to come with you? Chen Xue is a girl, after all. If I accompany you, I can help look after her."

Mu Yanrou approached with feigned concern. Knowing their history, Yufei didn't believe for a second that Mu Yanrou had any intention of helping. He'd be grateful if she simply refrained from causing trouble.

"No need. Just focus on your own tasks."

With those words, Ye Yufei departed, leaving Mu Yanrou fuming as the office door clicked shut behind him.

The man who once cherished her above all else now had eyes for another. It was no surprise he had left her so abruptly.

Ye Yufei's car stirred up excitement as it pulled up to the school gates. The roar of the engine turned heads, the sports car being the envy of many students.

The sound was so captivating, it could be heard from a distance.

Despite the Chen family's hardships, Chen Xue remained resilient. Unaffected by her family's situation, she continued to attend her classes diligently, doing what was expected of her.

"This is it!"

Ye Yufei dashed to the academic building, and as the elevator doors slid open, he spotted several disheveled girls standing defiantly in the hallway, with a stocky man in a suit beside them.

The sleazy-looking man was repulsive, and judging by the age gap, he was likely the girl's father.

Children at this elite school weren't accustomed to being subservient. Thankfully, Chen Hai had the foresight to pay all the tuition fees in his first year, sparing Chen Xue from the worry of being unable to continue her education.

"Wow! Check out that guy – he's so handsome!"

"Get a grip!"

"That looks like Chen Xue's backup."

"That means you definitely shouldn't be calling him handsome. If Nana hears you, she won't let it slide once this is all sorted out."

Two particularly unattractive girls whispered from the sidelines. They were probably the cronies of the girl who had clashed with Chen Xue.

Such characters were a common sight at the school, hardly a novelty.

"Mr. Yufei, you've finally arrived."

Chen Xue looked at him with a face full of distress, as if she had been greatly wronged. Additionally, the girl next to her, with unkempt hair and a grimy face, appeared to be twice Chen Xue's size. If I'm not mistaken, they must have just been in a confrontation.

"Come with me to the principal's office to discuss this matter. It's too complex to be explained in a few words, and all the responsibility lies with you two."

A woman with a delicate voice spoke up. She was wearing black-rimmed glasses and a black business suit. If I'm not mistaken, she must be a teacher here.

While it's not ideal to judge someone's profession by their attire, their consistent style of dress makes it a safe bet.

"Chen Xue was fighting with Lee Na in the school washroom. Just look at the state Lee Na is in; Chen Xue has left her with such a huge bump on her head. Our school cannot condone a student like Chen Xue."

Upon entering the principal's office, the female teacher immediately began to stir the pot. Ye Yufei was so irritated he wished he could send her packing right then and there. She was truly exasperating.

Suddenly, a system interface popped up before him. Ye Yufei felt like applauding; the timing of the system's intervention was impeccable.

[Host, would you like to initiate attack mode on the female teacher in black?]

Hearing the system's inquiry, Ye Yufei was puzzled. Could it actually launch an attack on him, leaving him battered and bruised? This could escalate the situation even further.

Would there be any visible signs of the attack?

[Host, I can enable a Traceless Attack, causing the female teacher to experience pain.]

[That might work. If I can get the female teacher to leave, handling the rest should be straightforward. The principal may put on a domineering front, but I'm well-versed in dealing with such characters.]

[Definitely, launch the attack.]

[Host, attack mode on the female teacher is now activated.]

[Attack mode activated...]

Upon receiving the system's directive, Ye Yufei swiftly shifted his attention to the female teacher beside him. She suddenly began to bleed profusely from her nose.

"Ah, Principal, I'll handle this immediately."

The female teacher's white shirt was stained with blood. Upon seeing the blood, she turned and walked away.

It had been a rare chance for her to earn recognition, but who could have anticipated such a mishap?

"You all saw it. Chen Xue and Lee Na were fighting in the restroom. Their actions have greatly impacted the school. We've decided to expel Chen Xue as a deterrent to others."

The principal spoke as if his decision was justified. Upon hearing this, Chen Xue felt an urge to grab the ashtray in front of him and hurl it at his head.

"What are you implying? Principal, it seems to me that you're deliberately causing problems. Everyone is aware that Lee Na's father is a shareholder of our school. I suspect that's the reason you want to expel me. Besides, I didn't cause that large bump on Lee Na's head. She was foolish enough to run into the restroom wall herself."

Chen Xue gave them a scornful look. There was no point in showing respect to those who had none.

"What are you trying to say? You're about to be expelled, and yet you still speak to me like that!"

Lee Na was fuming and looked ready to charge. Her father stood by silently, suggesting he had already discussed the matter with the principal before arriving, which explained his composure.

"You'll pack your belongings and leave the school shortly. And we won't be refunding any tuition fees you've already paid."

Chen Xue internally seethed, resenting their audacity to suppress others with their wealth and power.

"Are you really using your authority and financial clout to oppress an ordinary student? Even though the Chen family has fallen on hard times, there's no need for you to mistreat Chen Xue like this."

Ye Yufei stepped forward to defend her, but the principal and Lee Na's father barely acknowledged him.

"You may not grasp the essence of a prestigious school. It's not just about providing students with the best educational environment; it's also about creating opportunities for parents to network during their children's classes. With the Chen family's current predicament, Chen Xue's continued attendance here would be pointless."

The principal's words were delivered as if they were self-evident, leaving Ye Yufei wondering how someone with such a lack of professional ethics could have risen to his position.

"Really? It looks like I'll have to intervene and have Ye's Group purchase this school. As soon as it's bought, I'll have you removed. You don't deserve to be here!"

Ye's Group? The principal was visibly confused upon hearing the name. Could it be that the man before him was none other than Ye Yufei, the scion of the Night Group?
