Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 208 Surveillance?

Lu He's sobbing broke Han's father's heart. He had never seen his daughter cry so pitifully before. The last time he saw her so heartbroken was when her mother passed away...

"Principal Wang, you have to give me an explanation!" Mr. Han reached out to protect Lu He, as if to say that no one could bully his daughter.

This terrified the principal. He knew he couldn't afford to offend the Han chaebol, as the school's future investments would depend on him.

"Mr. Han, what are you saying? I certainly wouldn't let Han Xi suffer any injustice..."

“It’s not me who’s wronged…” Lu He immediately interrupted, seizing the opportunity to make a scene: “It’s me who’s useless, who couldn’t protect my friends, who let them be bullied by them, and now they’re going to be expelled…”

Before Mr. Han could ask any questions, Principal Wang quickly stepped forward and stopped the Dean of Studies and Teacher Wang, who were about to explain.

“Mr. Han, absolutely not! The school would never tolerate any bullying of classmates,” Principal Wang said with a smile, shaking Xia Lan’s hand. “Lin Yingxin, the school will not expel you. We are definitely not the kind of school that abandons its students when something happens!”

The dean of students and Teacher Wang rolled their eyes behind her back. Wasn't the instruction to expel Lin Yingxin personally given by the principal?

Now, in order to curry favor, they've distanced themselves from the situation and are even putting on this noble and upright persona, pretending to be concerned for the students.

Xia Lan knew, of course, that the dean's attitude earlier was at the principal's behest. Seeing through it but not saying anything, she pretended to be teary-eyed and nodded to the principal.

If it weren't for the fact that spending so much time with Lu He had improved his acting skills, he would have looked so pitiful, with tears in his eyes; who wouldn't feel sorry for him?

Mr. Han looked at Xia Lan with a kind expression: "You are Xiao Xi's good friend?" He was happy to learn that his daughter had a good friend.

Xia Lan nodded obediently.

Principal Wang quickly praised her, saying, "Lin Yingxin is an outstanding student. She ranks among the top in the city, no, even in the province."

"That's wonderful! With a friend like that, Xiaoxi will definitely study hard." Mr. Han was very pleased: "I'll pay for another laboratory building to be built at the school!"

Principal Wang, the Dean of Studies, and Teacher Wang thanked him repeatedly, their eyes wide with excitement, trying hard not to be too happy and burst out laughing on the spot.

The stepmother couldn't utter a single word from beginning to end. She tried several times but couldn't get a word in edgewise, so she could only stand aside dejectedly, observing Lu He and Xia Lan.

Several times I saw the two of them exchanging glances, secretly using their eyes to encrypt their conversations.

She couldn't help but wonder if the relationship between the two was unusual, and that Han Xi's transformation was probably related to this Lin Yingxin.

The school's handling of the fight ultimately came to nothing. After receiving a message from Principal Wang, the principal of the neighboring school naturally reprimanded Chen Ziyao and her group from his own school.

Of course, Xia Lan didn't forget to subtly let Chen Zeyu in her class know that his sister Chen Ziyao had caused a big mess.

Sure enough, the next day they heard gossip from the neighboring school: Chen Ziyao had apparently been given a good beating at home and hadn't come to school.

Not to mention Chen Ziyao, Chen Zeyu also didn't come to school.

"What's wrong with Chen Zeyu?" Lu He asked Xia Lan curiously, "What exactly did you say to him yesterday?"

Xia Lan smiled mischievously: "Just tell him that his sister was kidnapped by some blond guy outside~"

"Oh my, you're so wicked! Not only did you tell him about his sister's fight, but you also told him such a hurtful thing?" Lu He clicked his tongue in admiration, saying he hadn't realized Xia Lan was so cunning now.

Chen Zeyu is ultimately a sister-obsessed man. He's always been very protective of Chen Ziyao, so he's furious now that he knows she's been run off with that blond guy.

"Early romance, dating a hoodlum, and getting into fights with him—if that's all the 'buffs' stacked up, she's definitely going to get a beating from her family." Lu He hissed and gasped.

It's obvious just by thinking about it.

"Wait a minute, Chen Ziyao was beaten up and didn't come to school, so why isn't Chen Zeyu coming to school?" Lu He thought for a moment and started pondering.

“I already told you he’s a siscon, so what else could it be? Of course, he’s going to find that blond guy and beat him up.” Xia Lan’s words were like a wake-up call, and Lu He immediately understood.

She leaned closer and gave Xia Lan a light kiss on the cheek.

Fortunately, they were on an empty rooftop, where they started laughing and joking around.

Meanwhile, on a tall building far away, behind a window, an astronomical telescope was pointed directly at the teaching building. The person in the room was intently looking at the telescope and took a sip of tea.

A slight smile played on his lips. The relationship between Han Xi and Lin Yingxin seemed rather strange.
