Chapter 5 Put In A Good Word For Me
- When Zhan Lengrui arrived, An Xiaoxiao was standing outside the principal's office with her head hung low and sporting a demoralized face.
- “What did you do?”
- At the sound of the voice, An Xiaoxiao jerked her head up. He came!
- “Uncle!” She desperately wanted to tell him that she hadn't caused any trouble. “It's really not my fault this time. You have to trust me.”
- The anxiety on her face was noticeable, and her eyes were dull with grievance.
- Zhan Lengrui's face instantly fell. Who dares to bully her? Bloody hell!
- Ms. Chen who was standing next to Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. This tall and handsome emperor-like man is An Xiaoxiao's uncle?
- Her breathing stopped as her eyes fixed on Zhan Lengrui.
- The intensity emanating from the man was overpowering.
- Zhan Lengrui was a little disturbed by Ms. Chen's stare. Furrowing his thick brows, he greeted the teacher, “Nice to meet you. I'm Xiaoxiao's uncle, Zhan Lengrui.”
- Such a simple sentence coming out from Zhan Lengrui's mouth was even more impactful and shocking than the fact that he had come to school.
- At the same time, she could feel warmth surging in her heart.
- An Xiaoxiao bowed her head and her cheeks were on fire.
- She was usually unfazed by her poor academic performance, but to call a family member to school was shameful. All the more so especially since he was the younger brother of Zhan Mingmei, her stepmother.
- An Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that if her stepmother found out about this, she would surely be in deep trouble.
- Meanwhile, Ms. Chen came back to her senses and hurriedly said, “Oh, it's Mr. Zhan. It's nice to meet you too.”
- She had a feeling that An Xiaoxiao was not about to get expelled.
- Even if the two had no blood relationship, her identity as Zhan Lengrui's niece was enough for the principal to reconsider his decision.
- Zhan Lengrui came from a prestigious family and he was highly ranked in Jing City's military base. He wasn't just an emperor-like ordinary man; he was the emperor.
- The fact that he was here was equivalent to acknowledging An Xiaoxiao's identity as his niece.
- Would the principal dare expel Zhan Lengrui's niece?
- Ms. Chen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at An Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, you two should go inside then.”
- An Xiaoxiao nodded. However, as if she had suddenly thought of something, she hastily spoke, “Wait a second.”
- She pulled Zhan Lengrui aside, looked him straight in the eyes, and urged, “Uncle, you must put in a good word for me later. Please don't makes things worse for me. Otherwise, I'll... I'll...”
- Is she kidding? Why would I be here if I’m unconcerned?
- But instead of saying that, he asked, “What will you do?”
- An Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth. Although she was embarrassed, she steeled herself and answered, “I'll draw a portrait of your body and put it on display.”
- Zhan Lengrui was speechless. This girl is really something! Has she memorized everything with just one glance?
- An Xiaoxiao's face had turned crimson red by now.
- Just as she thought Zhan Lengrui was about to hit her, he bent down and whispered in her ears, “Did you like what you saw?”
- The lass froze as goosebumps formed on her arms. Like what I saw? How is he not shameless to ask that?
- Biting her lip, she looked up and glared at the brazen Zhan Lengrui. She wanted to call him a thug but the words that came to her lips were, “It was nice.”
