The 41st Chapter: School Storm

  It's another bright morning, the warm sunshine pours into the small courtyard, a lazy atmosphere starts from the morning, there is not a hint of coolness in the air, it's a bit sweltering.

  Grandfather was afraid of disturbing the children, so although he got up very early, he didn't stay at home. He went out alone to exercise and take a leisurely walk, strolling around in a big circle, and when it was almost time for dinner, he started walking back.

  "Get up! Get up! Get up!" Li Luo'er stood at the door and shouted loudly.

  "The door is not closed, why didn't you come in today!" Chen Zhiquan said dazedly.

  "Who wants to see a bunch of stinky men!" Li Luo'er shouted angrily, "Dinner is ready, if you don't eat then forget it! Go to school early today! Otherwise, I'll be scared to death every day, feeling like I'm going to be late!"

  "Get up right away!" Lu Xiangsheng sat up and rubbed his eyes, then put on his clothes and lifted the covers of the two people beside him.

  "Grandpa, let's eat first and ignore them!" Luo'er served grandpa rice.

  "Hey, we can't treat people like this, let's wait for the kids together!" Grandpa sat still without moving a muscle.

  "I don't like how lazy they are. Otherwise, we're always in a rush to get to school, but Grandpa still has to wash the dishes and clean up the house. At his age, he should be resting and enjoying himself!"

  "Life is in movement, nothing else I can do, but such trivial things can still be done!" Grandpa chuckled and smiled happily at Luo Er.

  "Let's get up, don't make Lao Er wait every time, and also Grandpa, the elders at home! Today is the day to go to school early, handle some things, and we'll have a big meal at noon." Lu Xiansheng patted Chen Zhiquan.

  "This is all because of it. To be honest, the time difference has been messed up and my biological clock has also been messed up. I'm not getting out of bed but I actually can't sleep!" Chen Zhiquan stretched his waist.

  "I think Quan Ge is thinking about lunch, haha!" Li Chao jumped off the bed with a bounce.

  "Alright, let's eat quickly! You guys stop messing around, three smelly men, so annoying!" Luo Er complained.

  Lu Xiansheng and Chen Zhiquan finished washing up and sat next to Grandpa, starting to eat. But Li Chao just took a steamed bun, took two bites, and then ran out.

  "Ah, it's Jie Rouyun again!" Luo Er was a bit unhappy.

  "That's great! This is a good thing!" Grandpa was still smiling.

  "Why did we go pick up Yang Ruoyun every day since we came to Li Chao? How did you usually go to class before?" Lu Xiansheng asked after taking a sip of millet porridge.

  "Before, it was always Li Chao who took me to school. If Yun's family has a car, every day their car goes to the city to pick up and deliver goods, so she usually takes the car to and from school. It's just that recently her dad went to the mountain to sell wild mushrooms, so no one is picking her up..." said Li Luo Er.

  "So it turns out I'm just a temporary driver too!" Lu Xiangsheng sighed with a bitter smile.

  "Haha, I think this temporary one won't last long!" Chen Zhiquan sarcastically said to Xuan Sheng.

  "What does it mean? Hmm?" Lu Xiangsheng looked at him in confusion.

  Just then, Shen Kai lifted the curtain and walked in with his backpack on.

  "What did you come here for?" Lu Xiangsheng's two eyes became tense again.

  "I just saw Li Chao and Ruo Yun leave, Xiao Xuan is going to school in Uncle's car, so I'm here to take Luo Er to school!" Shen Kai smiled at Luo Er.

  "With so many cars in our household, it seems that we won't be troubling you with a ride!" Chen Zhiquan's tone was somewhat unfriendly.

  "If Luo Er doesn't want to, then I'll leave first. Luo Er, how are you going to school?" Shen Kai asked.

  "Me... me!" Luo Er looked at the three people in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

  "Let Luo'er ride in Shen Kai's car today, anyway you two meet every day, no need to fight over this and hurt your feelings! I'll make the decision today!" Grandfather said with a smile on his face, although Lu Xiansheng was not very happy.

  "Thank you, Grandfather!" Shen Kai was very happy in his heart, but he still didn't show it, only making a slight bow.

  "How can this be? What about my brother? Grandfather, you're being unfair!" Chen Zhiquan spoke up for Lu Xiansheng.

  "Never mind, let's just drop it!" Lu Xiansheng pulled Chen Zhiquan and continued eating.

  "It's Saturday today, you're not having classes in the afternoon, didn't we agree to have lunch together and go shopping?" Grandpa smiled at Lu Xiansheng and Chen Zhiquan.

  "Uh..." Chen Zhiquan also fell silent.

  "So, you're still together this afternoon, and it's fine to come back together tonight! This is fair enough, Shen Kai came all the way to pick up Luo'er, you are all classmates from the same school, no need to be so hostile. In the past, people used to say that our family's Luo'er was a neglected little grass, but now she seems to be a treasure!" Grandpa smiled with a pleased expression.

  "Grandpa, don't say that!" Lu'er suddenly felt embarrassed.

  "You all continue eating, I'll take Luoer to school first!" Shen Kai picked up Luoer's backpack and waited for her to go out.

  "Hurry up, Grandpa, there's still food in the pot. Eat it while it's hot at noon, don't eat cold rice. If you don't want to eat, go to the intersection and get a covered rice bowl or something. I'm leaving first..." Lao'er hastily cleaned up his bowl and chopsticks and went out the door.

  "How heartless! Leaving our young master of the Lu family unattended, and instead getting entangled with that woman in a unclear and inexplicable way. What logic is this? Heaven has eyes, doesn't it?" Chen Zhiquan's face was full of indignation.

  "Be careful what you say, nothing's wrong, time will tell, let's just wait and see!" Lu Xiangsheng was relaxed.

  "A good mindset will ultimately lead to great success! Men, be more magnanimous! Sometimes when dealing with women, it's not that the tighter you grasp, the more you'll get. Although it's said that 'near water tower first gets moon', but there also needs to be skill. You are all still children..." Grandpa sat in his rocking chair and puffed on his pipe a few times.

  "Haha, it seems Grandpa has seen through us!" Chen Zhiquan burst out laughing.

  "Hurry up and eat, don't dawdle, keep close, and you won't have to worry about anything going wrong!" Grandpa said.

  "Gao Ren, Grandpa is absolutely a Gao Ren!" Lu Xian Sheng nodded in admiration, finished the few mouthfuls of rice in his bowl, and then quickly went out to wipe down the car.

  "Listen to your elders and hurry up!" Chen Zhiquan quickly gathered the bowls and chopsticks with his hands and feet, looked at Grandpa's comfortable appearance, made a ghost face, and rushed to ride the car to chase Lu Xiangsheng.

  "Nowadays kids are so lucky, thinking back to our generation...” Grandpa rocked in his chair, reminiscing about his past, his youth, and the innocent first love he had at that time.

  Lu Xiansheng and Chen Zhiquan were riding their bikes crazily, almost racing with cars. They chased after each other all the way, but didn't see Shen Kai and Li Lu'er's figures anywhere.

  "What the hell! They've even entered the school, but I didn't see them. Where did they go?" Lu Xiangsheng took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

  "I think they took another road, otherwise we would have reached 300 kilometers per hour by now, how could we not see them!" Chen Zhiquan squatted on the ground panting heavily.

  "Let's go, back to class!" Lu Xiansheng pulled up Chen Zhiquan and helped him lock the car.

  "Did you hear? Principal Bai's daughter almost caused a big scene, locking two girls in the activity room!" A girl wearing a white-checkered shirt said to the chubby girl next to her.

  "I've seen it too, I heard it's going to be in the newspaper now. It's ridiculous, they're fighting over such a trivial matter, not even caring about human life. The school doesn't even care, what kind of thing is this?" The chubby girl said angrily.

  "What's there to manage? Bai Shi's dad is the principal, can't he be arrogant?"

  "This morning I told my mom, and she was so scared that she said we should call the Education Bureau to ask if this school is even livable!"

  "Haha, just like my dad, he didn't even take the dog out for a walk this morning, he just grabbed that printed report and went straight to the Education Bureau!"

  "What will happen if you say white poetry?"

  "I don't know then, but anyway it won't be good..."

  "A person as vicious as this should be persuaded to quit!"

  "Her father is the principal, can you believe it?"

  "Hmm..."

  Listening to the group of girls next to them chattering about the Bai Shi incident, Lu Xiansheng couldn't help but curve up the corners of his mouth and lightly patted Zhiquan's shoulder, "The good show has begun!"

  "Look forward to it and hope it meets your expectations!"

  Not yet arrived at the classroom, saw Shen Kai standing at the door of the class, with a cold face.

  Lu Xiansheng ignored Shen Kai and walked straight in.

  "You're really ruthless!" Shen Kai said to Lu Xiangsheng as they brushed past each other.

  "The Eight Immortals crossing the sea each show their magical powers, I only do what I think is right!" Lu Xiansheng didn't turn his head, he just said this lightly.

  "I hope what you're doing is right and won't lead to any more trouble!"

  "Thank you for your trouble!"

  Shen Kai left in a huff, full of worries, unsure whether his heart ached for Bai Shi or something else.

  The whole morning, the school was filled with topics from various websites reposting that report and a video clip, causing the entire school office to be packed with parents and journalists, accusing the school of all sorts of wrongdoing.

  The principal's office was even more gloomy and depressing.

  Bai Qiren, who was usually full of grandeur, stood on one side, wiping away the saliva flying towards him from the mouths of various high-ranking officials at the Education Bureau across from him.

  After sending away a bunch of annoying principals from the Education Bureau and TV stations, Bai Qiren opened the website and started reading the headlines. When he saw Bai Shi and Jia Rongrong appear, he almost burst with anger.

  "Come to my office!" Bai Qiren furiously called his daughter.

  In an instant, Bai Shi walked in with his head lowered.

  "Dad..." with tears in her eyes.

  Bai Qi Ren saw his daughter like this, all his anger and temper disappeared, instead he comforted Bai Shi.

  "Shishi, it's not your dad saying you can't do this or that, but can't you just be more discreet? I'm the principal of the school, and after nearly 30 years of hard work, I've finally reached this position. It wasn't easy for me! With your good conditions, once you get into a good university, what's there to worry about? What kind of boy can't you find? Listen to your dad, don't cause any more trouble, I'm too old for this..."

  "Got it, Dad!" Bai Shi buried her face in her father's chest and sobbed.

  At this time, Lu Meiyou and Wang Jun arrived, and Bai Qiren hastily entertained them.

  "Principal Bai, don't worry, we're not here for anything else. We just want to know if the list of students we proposed for sponsorship and scholarships is ready?" asked Lu Meiyou.

  "Alright, alright, it's all fine! Here, take a look at this, Director Lu can verify the situation!"

  Lu Meiyou flipped through the materials, page by page, seemingly carefully looking at them, but actually mainly to find Li Lu'er and Li Chao brothers.

  "It seems like you've done a very careful job, but why does it seem like there's someone missing?"

  "How is it possible? I'll call the teacher on duty and the student union president to come and review with you together!"

  "Okay, I'll just wait here then."
