Chapter 1090: Settling in Private (Lu Guixin Part 14)

The words “Mr. Su” were said in a light and arrogant manner, but they made Su Cheng shiver as if he were in an ice cellar. In just a few seconds, his back was drenched in a cold sweat, and his face was as pale as a sheet.

Mrs. Su, on the other hand, kept her head down. She didn’t even dare to lift her head to look at the couple on the screen. She felt so weak that she could hardly sit up, and fear gripped her tightly at the back of her mind. How did we end up offending the Lu family? Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou’s daughter at that…

It was deadly silent in the office.

The Lu family was such a powerful family that everyone present in the office wasn’t qualified to know any news about them. It was only through Gu Mang’s connection with Ming City High School that they had the chance to learn some of the finer details of the Lu family, such as the fact that Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou had two sons and one daughter.

While there were bits of information about the twins on the internet, there was none about their daughter. Nobody expected that the Lu family’s beloved young miss would give up attending the top schools in the capital and come to attend Ming City High School in such a low profile.

Sitting next to Gu Mang, Lu Chengzhou looked down slightly and said indifferently, “Why aren’t you moving? Didn’t you hear my wife asking you to go ahead and contact the city bureau? What, do you need me to help you do that?”

Everyone felt as if there was heavy pressure in the office. Cold air shot through their feet and traveled to their head, and they felt so cold that they could hardly breathe.

Su Cheng was shivering. With chattering teeth and a trembling voice, he said, “No, that’s no longer needed, Mr. Lu. It’s my daughter’s fault. I failed to educate her well. On my daughter’s behalf, I apologize for your daughter’s damaged reputation.”

Lu Chengzhou scoffed. “I think you’ve brought her up well, though. Although her mental tolerance is poor, she’s rather capable of dealing with people, seeing what she did on the school forum.”

Su Cheng’s heart dropped as he said with trepidation, “I’ll have my daughter sincerely apologize to Ms. Lu for what she’s done to her. We’ll also make sure that you and your daughter get satisfactory compensation. I hope you’ll forgive my daughter this time.”

Even the way he addressed Lu Guixin was respectful now. It formed a stark contrast to their earlier overbearing attitude.

Mr. Dong and Class One’s form teacher were floored by the complete reversal of the situation. They couldn’t even breathe as they sat in their seats blankly.

“If apology works, what’s the point of school rules, laws, and police officers?” Despite Lu Chengzhou’s gentle smile and tone, his words send chills down their spine. “You’re of age already, aren’t you? Do you want to experience everything I said just now?”

Su Zeyue totally panicked when she heard that, knowing that she wouldn’t be able to escape the punishment if the Lu family gave the word. Be it the school’s disciplinary record or the police record, both would stay with her for life.

No! My life will be ruined if that happens! She was truly scared now. She hopped to her feet in a fluster and stared at the screen with reddish eyes as she explained tearfully, “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have defamed your daughter on the school forum. I only said all that because I wanted her to stay away from Fu Zhou. I heard from others that she was pestering him.”

“You heard from others?” Lu Chengzhou drummed his fingers against the sofa’s armrest. “So somebody went to your dorm and published those anonymous posts from your phone?”

“But Lu Guixin doesn’t care about them herself.” Su Zeyue got so worried that her eyes had become all red. “All those criticisms didn’t affect her life at all. I brought no harm to her.”

“So, she deserves to be scolded just because she has good mental tolerance?” Gu Mang’s voice dropped low. The coldness in her eyes was apparent.

“T-that wasn’t what I meant…” Upon realizing her mistake, Su Zeyue cried even harder. “I really know my mistakes now. Can you please not pursue the matter? I’ll transfer to—”

“Don’t pursue the matter?” Gu Mang smirked as she threw the towel in her hand against the coffee table. It landed with a loud slap. “If my daughter was from a humble background, would she still be able to stay in Ming City High School?”

Lu Chengzhou glanced sideways at Gu Mang. It’s been years since she flared up.

“Who are you acting pitiful to?” Gu Mang’s voice was low and cold. “It’s your choice whether to transfer schools or not. Principal Lin, let’s go by the book.”

This meant that Su Zeyue would have a disciplinary record with the school, and the police would also look into the defamation incident.

Principal Lin, who had been remaining quiet, immediately answered, “Don’t worry, we’ll do just that.”

“Young Madam Lu…” Mr. and Mrs. Su panicked and wanted to say something in their daughter’s defense, but…

Lu Chengzhou said with a smile, “We’ll settle it in private if I hear any more nonsense from you.”

Settling in private would mean that not only Su Zeyue but the entire Su family would get implicated.

Mr. and Mrs. Su’s faces paled, and they instantly shut their mouths.

“My daughter just wants to attend school.” Gu Mang sounded intimidating as she said, “Watch your mouths, get it?”

Everyone lowered their heads and hummed their assents.

It was really tense and oppressive in the office.

Just then, the office’s door flung open with a bang.
