Chapter 53: A Small Quarrel

  【Requesting Support for Recommendation Tickets】

  Arriving at school, the bell rang just in time. Chu Yu hastened his pace and almost ran into Chu Nianxiao, whom he hadn't seen for several days, as he was about to enter the teaching building.

  What made Chu Yuqi even more surprised was that behind Chu Nianxiao, there were two tall Europeans following him. Just a glance, and to his surprise, he found that these two young Europeans also had Qi refinement.

  "Xiao Yi." Seeing Chu Yu coming towards him, Chu Nian's face revealed a surprised and delighted expression as he said: "Sometimes I really doubt whether you're a student or not, disappearing for several days without coming to school..."

  Facing the moralizing of his foster father's concubine, Chu Yu couldn't help but smile wryly and change the subject: "I'm here to pick up Xiao Jing and my cousin after school, why don't you come with us, Teacher Chu?"

  Chu Nian didn't respond immediately, but instead pointed to the two European youngsters standing straight behind him, wanting to ask them if they would allow it. Alas, being a teacher has made me lose even my personal freedom."

  Although Chu Yu could hear that what Chu Nianxi said had a certain playful tone, for him, the fact that these two outsiders dared to restrict Chu Nianxi's normal social interactions already made him very unhappy. A pair of deep and piercing black eyes suddenly looked at the two people standing behind Chu Nianxi, their sharp gaze forcing the two people who were originally looking straight ahead to involuntarily turn their heads away.

  These two Europeans were naturally Carter and Newton, who were sent by Zhou Shouxin to Shanghai to protect Chu Nianxiao. Although they had only been there for a few days, the two of them, as Zhou Shouxin's adopted sons, always put Zhou Shouxin's assigned tasks first. Even if Chu Nianxiao, this young lady, gave orders in person, if these commands violated the original tasks arranged by Zhou Shouxin, Carter and Newton would definitely choose the latter.

  "Miss, according to my father's judgment, this middle school student named Xiao Yi who is approaching you may have some ulterior motive, and since you will be returning to the UK in five days, it's best not to have too much contact with him." Because before coming to Shanghai, the two had already obtained a list from Zhou Shouxin of people who had been in contact with Chu Nianxiao in Shanghai recently, and Xiao Yi was indeed listed as someone who may pose a threat to Chu Nianxiao's safety.

  "Kai Te, you're going too far! He's my student and I'm his teacher, it's as simple as that. Is it also intentional when a student invites their teacher to walk home together after school?" Chu Nian Xi said with slight anger.

  "Miss, you are right, I was too subjective. However, for your safety, please return home as soon as possible. You still have to attend the dinner party hosted by the British Ambassador to China tonight, and there really isn't much time to spare." Carter said with his head bowed respectfully.

  Chu Nian hesitated for a moment before finally compromising and saying, "Okay."

  She is a gentle and kind-hearted girl by nature, who rarely gets angry with people. Chu Nian has the habit of putting herself in others' shoes and often thinks for others, even for subordinates like Kade, she never puts on an air of superiority.

  "Xiao Yi, the teacher has something to attend to tonight and needs to go back early to prepare. Otherwise, you can come to class tomorrow and we'll hang out together after school, okay?" Chu Nianxiao said with a hint of apology.

  The conversation between Carter and Chu Nianxiao was in English, and it should be that Carter did not want Chu Yu to understand on purpose. After all, in his opinion, a first-year student would not be able to understand such fast-paced English conversations at all.

  But he was obviously wrong, and how could Chu Yu not be proficient in English? He had been living in London, England back then, and it's likely that he spoke authentic London accent English, which would be even better than Carter's.

  However, Chu Yu pretended not to understand on purpose. After Chu Nianxiao finished speaking, he smiled and nodded: "Since Teacher Chu has something to do, I'll go pick up Xiao Jing and the others first." Mainly because Chu Yu didn't want to make things difficult for Chu Nianxiao.

  Chu Yu had already walked away, and as he passed by Carte and Newton, he didn't sidestep or go around them. Instead, he walked right through the middle of the two men, his shoulders brushing against theirs. At the same time, a surge of dark energy shot out from his shoulders, instantly numbing the arms of Carte and Newton.

  When Carter and Newton turned around, Chu Yu had already slipped into the corridor.

  "Father was right, this kid is indeed an unstable factor!" Carter whispered to Newton with a glance, in a voice that only the two could hear.

  "Want me to go probe him a bit?" Newton was apparently provoked by Chu Yu's earlier blow.

  "Never mind, Miss will be back in the UK in five days. Let's not stir up any more trouble. Our top priority is to follow Miss and ensure her safety."

  "That's right." Newton responded, and then sighed: "China is indeed a wonderful place. Even a teenager can defeat me. Oh my god! I don't know if it's because I haven't had special training for too long or that kid is particularly awesome... But I'd rather believe the former."

  But then Chu Yu Xian returned to his own classroom and found Su Jing Yi, the two went downstairs together to find Tang Ke Yin on the floor where the first year of junior high school was located. Who would have thought that as soon as they went downstairs, they heard a scream like a pig being slaughtered, and the source of the sound was in the classroom of Class 1, Grade 7.

  When Chu Yuhe and Su Jingyi arrived at the door of Class 1, Grade 2, there were already many students with their bags on their backs, ready to slip away home, watching the commotion.

  "You can't even bear this little bit of pain, how dare you be my boyfriend? It's not that I look down on you, it's just that you're not worthy of being looked up to!" Tang Keying's crisp and tender voice came from the classroom, where a boy wearing a leather jacket was jumping up and down with his hands covering his crotch, muttering unclear curses. Meanwhile, Tang Keying sat on a stool not far away with an innocent smile on her face.

  "Come here, Ke Yun."

  Suddenly hearing Chu Yu's voice, Tang Keying instantly jumped up excitedly, grabbed her school bag and ran to the door, "Brother, why did you come so late, making me almost get bullied by bad eggs..."

  "It seems like you're bullying someone else. Chu Yu shook his head and smiled: "What's going on exactly?"

  "It's that guy, he said that all new students who transfer in have to pay him protection fees, and then he said I look pretty, if I become his girlfriend, he'll waive my protection fees, let me follow him to eat well and drink well, and finally he even asked me to give him a kiss..."

  "Didn't you tell him that you're my cousin?" Chu Yu said with some sympathy, glancing at the guy who was still loudly wailing in pain.

  "I wanted to speak up, but he was talking like a machine gun, I didn't even have the chance to open my mouth!" Tang Ke Ying fiddled with her hemline and gently swayed her body as she said: "Brother, I only kicked him because I had no other choice, you won't blame me, will you?"

  "In broad daylight, he's flirting with a respectable family's young girl, let him admit his own bad luck."

  Tang Ke Ying ran into Chu Yu, such a protective master, and it was like a fish in water. Chu Yu said one sentence, almost making the guy who was still calling out in pain faint.

  On the way back, Chu Yu's two arms were occupied by others. Su Jingyi was leaning on his left arm, while Tang Keying had hooked her arm tightly around his right one. One was a gentle and lovely "little girlfriend", the other was a clever and charming "cute cousin". Together with Chu Yu's handsome face, the three of them walking together would definitely not have a lower rate of turning heads than any celebrity!

  "Xiao Jing, do you have plans for tonight?" Chu Yu seemed to recall something and asked with a rare sly smile.

  "Recently no exams, tomorrow is a whole day of self-study classes, so yeah, I'm pretty free tonight!" Su Jingyi said with a sweet smile.

  "Brother, you're taking Little Jing out to play, then I want to go too." Tang Keying seemed to have caught wind of something interesting and immediately tightened her grip on Chu Yu's arm, saying in a soft voice.

  "Alright, you two come with me. Tonight we're going to a dinner party where there's food, drink and fun to be had. And also, we can see Teacher Chu there..."

  "Will Teacher Chu be there?" Su Jingyi obviously had a great liking for Chu Nianxiao, and happily said: "Then I must go."

  "Now that you've decided to attend the dinner party, you two should naturally dress up nicely. There's still plenty of time, go buy some clothes."

  Looking at Su Jingyi and Tang Keyun who were enthusiastically selecting clothes in the formal wear section of the overseas Chinese store, Chu Yuhui couldn't help but smile, deeply feeling that being with them made her regain some of the feelings of her youth.

  "Dialing Bai Cen's phone, 'Xiao Bai, is the British ambassador hosting a dinner party tonight?'"

  "There was a dinner party, and the three of us were all invited." As one of the three directors of Tianbao Financial Group, which is headquartered in the British capital, Bai Cen and his two colleagues have a good relationship with the British government and even the royal family. In fact, if they had wanted to, as British Chinese, they could have been knighted by the Queen more than ten years ago, but the three of them simply didn't care.

  "I'm bringing two people to this dinner party tonight." Chu Yu said straightforwardly.

  As Chu Yu's subordinate for thirty years, Bai Cen was extremely familiar with his boss's temperament and would never ask any questions as long as Chu Yu gave an order, he would get everything done promptly. This was also one of the reasons why Chu Yu chose them to follow him thirty years ago when he first entered the secular world.

  "The dinner party will be held at the Shangri-La Hotel, at 7 o'clock sharp. I'll arrange for someone to meet you at the entrance. What identity do you plan to attend with, boss?"

  "After a moment of contemplation, Chu Yu said: 'You arrange it as you like, still use Xiao Yi's name, I prefer to keep a low profile.'"

  "Yes, boss." After responding on the phone, Bai Cen thought of something and said: "Do you need me to send a special car to pick you up?"

  "It's all right, we'll just forget about it..."

  After hanging up the phone, Bai Cen Can held the receiver in a daze for half a moment, "Calling to attend the British ambassador's dinner party... I guess only one's own boss can do such a thing..."
