Gu Chen glanced sideways at Chen Jiaheng, but his expression remained unchanged.
Chen Jiaheng had always wanted to climb the social ladder, so after going inside, he waited for any commotion outside. He rushed out immediately upon hearing the commotion, only to be met with this unexpected scene.
When Chen Jiaheng noticed Jiang Chu lying on the ground and Zhou Xue'er still not getting up, his anger became even more pronounced!
"Gu Chen, you're utterly lawless!" Chen Jiaheng roared, "How dare you hit someone here!"
"Teacher Chen, I think you should ask about what happened before making a judgment," Gu Chen said calmly.
"What's there to ask? The facts are already so obvious, is there any need to ask?" Chen Jiaheng said with a look of utter disappointment, "The vice principal values you so much, and this is how you repay him! I seriously suspect you have violent tendencies; you hit people at the drop of a hat. I'm going to report this to the school administration, and I want you expelled!"
"Teacher Chen, this isn't a school. Even if it were, you have no right to do so." Gu Chen's eyes turned cold as he said calmly, "If you don't want to get involved, get out of here now."
"Hiss--"
A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd!
Although they all knew Gu Chen's current temper, they were still shocked to see him dare to speak to Chen Jiaheng like that! After all, everyone present, no matter how prominent their status, was a student of Xinghua University, while Chen Jiaheng was a teacher, and this was happening at a social gathering. Gu Chen was simply showing him no respect!
"You, you, you're absolutely arrogant!"
Under Gu Chen's fierce gaze, Chen Jiaheng weighed his own strength and ultimately did not dare to step forward.
Although he had practiced Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), he knew Jiang Chu's strength at school. Even Jiang Chu had been beaten so badly, so he had no chance of getting the better of him and might even lose face.
"Teacher Chen, this isn't Gu Chen's fault."
At this moment, Xu Mo finally came to his senses and hurriedly ran to the door, saying, "Zhou Xue'er started it."
"Zhou Xue'er made the first move?!"
Chen Jiaheng glanced at Xu Mo and sneered, "Miss Zhou is just a woman. Even if she makes a move, how far can she go? Can she cripple Gu Chen? As for you, Xu Mo, how dare you show your face here? You've been skipping class for several days without even saying goodbye. Although the school knows you have family problems, your behavior is a contempt for the school's authority, do you know that?"
As expected, Chen Jiaheng was a snob. Normally, he would never have dared to speak to Xu Mo like that, but recently the Xu Family had gotten into trouble, and the whole of Zhou City and the school knew about it, so Chen Jiaheng was naturally not afraid of Xu Mo.
At this moment, Zhou Xue'er also sneered and said, "Xu Mo, so you and Gu Chen are so close. No wonder you've picked up all those shady things from him. You should learn more from your brother, instead of becoming a stray dog like this!"
Hearing Zhou Xue'er's mocking words, Xu Mo couldn't hold back any longer and angrily said, "Zhou Xue'er, how dare you say that? My brother's current situation is all your fault! I trusted you so much before!"
He now harbors a deep hatred for Zhou Xue'er, for it is the Zhou Family family that has brought the Xu Family to such a miserable state!
Zhou Xue'er stood up from the ground and said nonchalantly, "We are all juniors. Business competition is something for the elders to do. Your Xu Family is incompetent, are you going to blame me for that?"
"Miss Zhou is right!" Dong Wenhao nodded, then looked at Xu Mo and sneered, "Young Master Xu, you're from a prominent family, don't you even understand this basic principle?"
Ma Xiao also sneered repeatedly, saying, "Young Master Xu, you're just being unreasonable."
Shen Peng stood to the side, somewhat embarrassed, unsure which side to help.
Amidst their sarcastic remarks, Xu Mo's face flushed red. He was, after all, a scion of a wealthy family, yet now he felt utterly isolated and helpless.
"Young Master Jiang!"
At this moment, Chen Jiaheng looked at Jiang Yu and asked, "What should we do with this kid?"
Among those present, besides Zhou Xue'er, Jiang Yu held the highest status. After Zhou Xue'er was beaten by Gu Chen, Chen Jiaheng dared not lay a hand on Gu Chen and could only turn to Jiang Yu for help.
In their minds, since Jiang Yu dared to wait for Gu Chen here, he must have a backup plan!
Sure enough, Jiang Yu came out and went straight to Gu Chen!
"Young Master Jiang, don't be afraid. This kid has offended all the powerful families in Zhou City. We're all on your side!"
A young master from a prominent family started shouting.
A cold glint flashed in Zhou Xue'er's eyes.
Gu Chen is so arrogant, and given Jiang Yu's personality and the great humiliation he suffered before, he certainly won't be able to tolerate it!
Now, let's see how he solves it!
Therefore, when Jiang Yu stood in front of Gu Chen at this moment, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, waiting for what seemed like an impending violent conflict!
But soon, something happened that left them speechless!
After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Yu suddenly seemed to have made a decision and bowed ninety degrees to Gu Chen!
"Young Master Gu, I'm so sorry to have disturbed you!"
These words caused a stir of shock among those around them!
Everyone looked as if their jaws had dropped in astonishment. That sentence? Jiang Yu said it?
Even the cold smile that was about to spread across Zhou Xue'er's face froze instantly!
Everyone felt the same way, not to mention Xu Mo, who stood next to Gu Chen and simply couldn't believe his ears!
Jiang Yu and Gu Chen have always been mortal enemies. They caused a huge uproar at school because of Zhou Xue'er's matter. Some time ago, Gu Chen even crippled Jiang Yu's leg. Logically speaking, Jiang Yu should hate Gu Chen to the core!
Zhou Xue'er was the first to come to her senses, and said angrily, "Jiang Yu, what do you mean?"
Jiang Yu's lips twitched twice, but he ignored Zhou Xue'er's words and continued, "Young Master Gu, what they did just now was not my intention. I was just waiting for you at the door. Zhou Xue'er and others have nothing to do with me."
These words were truly earth-shattering!
Unlike the shock of the crowd, Gu Chen remained calm, as if he had already planned everything and was not surprised by Jiang Yu's sudden apology.
He reached out and gently patted Jiang Yu's shoulder, saying calmly, "Don't worry, I know what you mean. I won't make things difficult for you."
As he spoke, he brushed past Jiang Yu and then came up to Zhou Xue'er.
"Gu Chen, what do you want to do?" Zhou Xue'er's eyes were still filled with shock, and she subconsciously took a step back.
Gu Chen smirked and asked, "What?"
After saying that, his face turned cold, and he grabbed her hair!
