Seven 007

The night was already deep, yet the Yu household remained quite lively.

Yu Mingwan had her nose broken, two teeth knocked out, her left wrist fractured, and her face swollen and bruised. She looked utterly wretched. To make matters worse, Li Chongjing had rejected her in front of Xu Luofu. She had never endured such suffering or humiliation in her life—how could she possibly sleep?

So she cried loudly and caused a scene at home.

“I want her dead! Wuwuwu, I want her dead!!”

Yu Zhenghui’s head felt like it was about to explode from the shrill sound, and he was furious inside. Although Xu Luofu’s father was Xu Hanrui, Xu Hanrui had divorced Song Mei and had been rather heartless about it; Song Mei and Xu Luofu had essentially walked away with nothing.

As a man, how could he not know how ruthless a man could be toward his former love when he has a new one? Especially since the new love seemed to be his first crush, and they even had a daughter.

Under such circumstances, it was unlikely Xu Hanrui still cared about Song Mei and her daughter. Even if Xu Hanrui knew about the bullying of his bloodline and felt displeased, once he contacted the new love and her daughter through connections and asked them to spread some rumors, would he still mind? He believed they wouldn’t mind becoming friends with him either.

Thinking this, Yu Zhenghui planned to call Song Mei tomorrow and ask her to come to the school. Once the parents were dealt with, there would be nothing left for him to worry about.

Just like the students bullied by Yu Mingwan—once he negotiated with their parents, using threats, intimidation, or inducements, anything would work. As long as the parents chose to turn a blind eye to their children’s injuries, those kids would be like lambs slaughtered at school.

Song Mei, who had been cleansed out in the divorce, hadn’t worked for over a decade, and whose days were spent shopping and raising her daughter—how hard could it be to handle her? She might even burst into tears at just one harsh word.

Just as he was thinking this, his phone suddenly rang.

An unfamiliar number appeared on the screen. Yu Zhenghui answered.

“Hello, is this Principal Yu Zhenghui?” came a gentle, soft female voice.

The voice was pleasant, and Yu Zhenghui glanced at the caller ID again, his tone softening considerably. “Yes, who is this?”

“I’m Song Mei, Xu Luofu’s mother.”

He hadn’t even reached out to her yet, and she had taken the initiative. Was she trying to make peace? Her voice was so sweet—he wondered what she looked like. She must be quite something to have been Mrs. Xu for so many years.

“Hmph, Ms. Song, it’s rather inappropriate to call this late. If it’s important, come to my office tomorrow morning.”

“Sorry, I have something tomorrow and can’t come to the school, so it’s better to talk now,” she replied gently.

Yu Zhenghui’s expression darkened immediately. “Ms. Song, I’m afraid this matter isn’t yours to decide…”

“Principal Yu, have you succeeded in arranging a dinner with Director Zhou, as you asked several times through connections?”

Yu ZhenghuiI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
