Chapter 518: Chapter 176: The ’80s Drama Queen Is Forced to Become a Top Student (11)
He was being deliberately mysterious.
Seventh and Eighth shook their heads readily. With their simple minds, they only knew how to wave their fists and follow orders.
"This means someone dislikes Sheng Leyun and wants to use everyone’s aversion to her to ostracize and bully her."
"How could someone with such a vicious mind not have a backup plan?"
"And I can tell this person is impatient and their methods are clumsy. They probably won’t even last the first day before trying to put our girl in her place."
Seventh and Eighth immediately applauded supportively. "As expected of Mr. Tan’s grandson! We could never think of something like that."
"Yeah, Third’s fighting skills are actually on the lower end among us nine brothers. But he’s got a quick mind and managed to snag the number three spot in the ranking tournament."
"I suspect Third thought ’Second’ sounded lame and ’First’ came with too much responsibility, while the younger ones have to go around calling everyone else ’Brother,’ so he probably picked his rank on purpose."
The two of them discussed this guilelessly right in front of Tan Zilu.
Third patted their shoulders. "Only my brothers truly know me! Let’s go. We need to find a few more teachers and try to get our sentences reduced sooner so we can be completely free!"
Because of how Sheng Leyun had just handled things, he had even more confidence in her.
’A girl who could perfectly resolve potential trouble without them even needing to lift a finger—isn’t she clever?’
Meanwhile, Pang and Junzi were scared stiff for a while before they could pull themselves up, using the wall for support. "That Xiao Hailan and Xiao Haiyang are real pieces of work! Do they think we’re stupid, using us as their hired thugs?"
"That must be it," said the chubby one—who was actually Junzi. "Those two are so devious. They always get their hands on any good stuff first."
"That scared the life out of me just now. That guy, Third, is a real tough nut. At the start of last semester, some upperclassmen cornered him, but he took them down with just a few moves and scared them right off," said the stout, dark one, Pang, still shaken.
Of course they were afraid of someone that formidable!
The more they talked, the more terrified they became. "What do we do? We’re definitely on their blacklist now. If they’re not happy with how we handled things, will they...?"
"They definitely will... Everyone says you can mess with anyone, but not Third..."
The two of them hugged each other and bawled their eyes out. After crying for a bit, they wiped their tears and decided to do as Sheng Leyun said and talk to Xiao Xuezhen. Then, they would turn over a new leaf and never corner anyone again.
Going through something like this once was enough. If it happened again, they’d be scared to death!
Students get out of school early, while adults finish work late. On top of that, Xiao Xuezhen was an editor-in-chief with a lot on his plate, and he had also taken about a week off. By the time he wheeled his bicycle home, everyone was already taking their afternoon nap.
After taking turns eating, Pang and Junzi squatted by the stairwell, so sleepy they were constantly nodding off.
Hearing the clear ring of a bicycle bell, the two of them perked up and looked toward the newcomer.
"Why aren’t you two at home sleeping?" Xiao Xuezhen asked with a smile as he parked his bike.
The parents of these two boys were quite capable, making them people worth currying favor with. He would usually give his daughter and son a few pointers about which friends were worth making and which to avoid.
’School was an excellent place. Not only could you gain knowledge, but you could also start building a network of connections from a young age.’
"Uncle Xiao," the two boys said, standing up and walking over to him, their expressions very serious. "We have something to report to you, and we hope you will handle it impartially."
Xiao Xuezhen paused for a moment, then bent down slightly and nodded cooperatively. "Alright. Don’t you worry, Uncle Xiao has always been serious and sincere in his work, never careless."
Pang spoke first. "We hope you will strictly discipline your Xiao Hailan and Xiao Haiyang!"
"Junzi and I are simple people who don’t think in circles. As my mom says, I’m a straight-shooter."
"We’re not devious like your Xiao Hailan and Xiao Haiyang are. They don’t like Sheng Leyun, so they told us to go borrow money from her."
This was actually a very embarrassing thing to bring up, but Pang and Junzi were terrified, so they steeled themselves and laid their cards on the table with Xiao Xuezhen.
"As a result, we provoked someone we shouldn’t have. I advise you, Uncle Xiao, to go home and teach your two kids a harsh lesson. Don’t wait until they grow up, make a huge mistake, and get sent to jail to live off the state."
"If how you handle this doesn’t satisfy the other party, then we’ll have no choice but to go to the station and explain what happened ourselves. We’ll have Xiao Hailan and Xiao Haiyang go there for a lecture, too!"
"Or, we could have the officers from the station come to your home for a talk with the parents. That would work too."
