"No, but I can say this much. Even if you complain to my parents, you will gain nothing." Xiao Rong curtly said. In his mind, he was thinking, 'Miss Xue Lin, I'm saying the exact way you taught me. But what if something bad happens after this incident?' He was sweating.
Mumu smirked. "Are you sure? Do you have the courage?"
Xiao Rong asked her back, "Do you have the courage?"
Mumu frowned. "What do you mean?"
Xiao Rong explained to her, "When the whole school finds out about your real ugly face, do you have the courage to stay in this school? Or do you plan on transferring all the students to other school?"
Mumu gritted her teeth. Her eyes looked vicious. "Rong, aren't you getting too bold? Who gave you the courage to defy me? Tell me that person's name."
'Oh, scary!' Xue Lin thought. She was standing in the corner and watching the show. This sort of live drama couldn't be watched anywhere else. She couldn't miss such an opportunity.
It was Xiao Rong's time to smirk. "Do you think I'm getting bold? I was always bold. I just didn't want to argue with anyone and went with the flow. But it was my mistake. If I had retaliated before, Susu wouldn't have had to get hurt."
"So, it was her." Mumu glared at the girl in front of her who was sitting quietly.
"No, it was you. If you didn't harm her, I wouldn't have to face you like this." Xiao Rong pointed it out to her. "It's better this way. Everyone will know me and Susu are completely innocent. The one who has the vicious heart is you. As I said, you cannot make me do whatever you want from now on. I quit being your servant. You can talk to whomever you want but you have lost this time."
The students around them murmured and whispered. Mumu heard them and got even more angry. She looked at Xiao Rong and said, "Fine, I will see how long you can keep up your façade." Then she left. She passed Xue Lin on her way but didn't even notice her since she was blinded by rage.
The day was peaceful and Xue Lin was in her own office room. The commotion started right after the school ended. Xiao Rong's parents came to the school and met Xiao Rong's homeroom teacher. Xiao Rong and Mumu were summoned. Xiao Rong's father was scolding him nonstop but Xiao Rong was unfazed. The homeroom teacher was baffled. He wanted to stop Xiao Rong's father but that guy wasn't listening to the teacher at all. The teacher felt helpless.
Xiao Rong's father shouted, "How could you do it? Mumu is such a good girl and you dared to hurt her? Didn't I tell you to always keep her happy? How can I raise such an unfilial son?"
"Why? Did your son marry the bob cut girl?" A voice came from outside the room.
Everyone looked at the direction of the sound and saw a girl wearing a white cotton top with red polka dots and a skirt with the same design and a pair of white heels. Her hair was loosely tied as a bun. No one would know that her hair was tied by her husband. On her left wrist, there was a silver metal wrist watch. A pair of diamond earrings glittered at the light. The only turnoff about the whole dress up was the girl's spectacles.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Xiao Rong's father barked.
"I'm Xue Lin, the only counselor in this school. I'll be handling Xiao Rong's case." Xue Lin stepped forward and closed the door. She nodded at the homeroom teacher and he politely backed down giving Xue Lin the stage. "I'm sorry, I'm late. You must be Xiao Rong's father I've heard so much of. Do you need a glass of water? You have come a long way. Why don't you sit down?"
Xue Lin looked like a small girl and she spoke in such a polite and caring voice that Xiao Rong's father couldn't be rude to her. He calmed down a little and sat on the chair close to him. His wife also did the same.
Xue Lin gazed at Xiao Rong and asked, "Are you okay?"
Xiao Rong was nervous to see his father throwing a tantrum in the school. But seeing Xue Lin, he was relieved. "I'm fine. Thank you for coming."
"What a polite child!" Xue Lin was pleased with his behavior. She was worried that he would crumble after facing his father, however he didn't. He bravely confronted his father and didn't say a word. She sat down in a chair. Her eyes landed on Xiao Rong's father and said, "Mr. Tang, I think you have a very important matter that you want to discuss with me."
Xiao Rong's father, Mr. Tang frowned. "I have nothing to talk to you. I'm here to talk to Xiao Rong." He couldn't say that Mumu called him and ordered him to come to the school to deal with the problem.
"Your son lives with you, you can always solve your family issues at home. But you came to the school which means it has something to do with the school and the school will interfere." Xue Lin adjusted her glasses and continued, "Before I came to the class, you were talking about someone's happiness. Why does Xiao Rong have to care about a girl's happiness? I'm curious."
Mumu gave Xue Lin a glare but Xue Lin didn't gave her any attention. Her eyes were fixed on Mr. Tang.
Mr. Tang coughed dryly and said, "He is my child and I told him to make Mumu happy. So, he must do it."
Xue Lin nodded in understanding. "A child needs to listen to their parents, I totally agree. Is she betrothed to Xiao Rong?"
"What are you trying to say?!" Mumu exclaimed.
"Since I don't know anything, I was asking if you two are engaged to each other. Maybe it's a family tradition?" Xue Lin looked at Mumu innocently.
