Chapter 240 — A Public Slap in the Face
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Ah... not at all, it's nothing, nothing..." Wang Zhifeng was thoroughly depressed. It was all his own fault for lacking self-control — caught red-handed in his own office by Wei Zhao. Otherwise, why would he have to grovel like this?
Wei Zhao nodded, then took the somewhat panicked Tang Yun by the hand and headed toward Zou Ruoming. Tang Yun shrank back a little, trying to pull her hand free, but she was no match for his strength...
By now Tang Yun was dazed. Holding hands with a boy right in front of the Director of Academic Affairs — she would never have dared even imagine such a thing! She would probably be expelled for it... And yet... Director Wang seemed not to have noticed at all, still wearing that kindly, amiable look for Wei Zhao.
To be honest, Tang Yun was afraid of Zou Ruoming, deep down — a fear that lived in the mind. Zou Ruoming did whatever he pleased, and there was no telling what he might do to her next.
But with Wei Zhao she had never felt that way — not before, and certainly not now...
Smack. A loud slap landed across Zou Ruoming's face.
Wang Zhifeng was stunned. Zou Ruoming's lackeys in the room were stunned. Even Tang Yun stared at Wei Zhao in disbelief.
He had actually slapped Zou Ruoming across the face — right in front of the Director of Academic Affairs?
After the shock, Zou Ruoming's eyes filled with deep hatred and fear. He really was a little afraid of Wei Zhao; the kid was ruthless — not your ordinary ruthless sort.
"One slap, just to clear your head. Tang Yun is my woman! If you so much as think about her again, I'll make you disappear from this school!" Wei Zhao's words were ambiguous — disappear from this school. In truth, what he meant was disappear from the face of the earth.
Domineering! Brazen! Arrogant!
That was the verdict of the students who witnessed it.
Slapping someone in the face right in front of the Director of Academic Affairs — who else could do such a thing? Who would dare? Yet Wei Zhao did it, and Wang Zhifeng did not say a single word against it.
Not only that — Wei Zhao had declared in front of Wang Zhifeng that Tang Yun was his woman. Since the founding of First High School, from ancient times to the present, there had probably never been a second person who dared.
Even the legendary leader of the campus's Four Great Villains had never been so arrogant.
Tang Yun's face burned red. She was annoyed, and yet somewhere in her heart there was a flicker of delight... Wei Zhao had told the Director of Academic Affairs that she was his woman?
Something so insane gave Tang Yun — the school's model good girl — a sudden, rebellious thrill.
"All right, Director Wang, carry on. Seems to me these few just need a good beating. Wouldn't you say?" Having finished with Zou Ruoming, Wei Zhao turned to Wang Zhifeng and spoke as though nothing had happened, as if that slap had not come from his own hand.
"Heh heh..." Wang Zhifeng gave a dry laugh. He had no heart left for scolding Zou Ruoming either; he waved a hand and sent them off.
Wei Zhao, too, took Tang Yun by the hand and headed for the classroom building.
"Let go of me..." After a couple of steps Tang Yun came back to herself and hurriedly shook her arm, trying to break free of his grip.
Wei Zhao had only been holding on so she would not run off; now there was no need, so he let her hand go.
"Why did you say I'm your... your woman?" Tang Yun stared at him wide-eyed, as if cross-examining him. "What am I supposed to do from now on? How embarrassing is that?"
"Heh. I just wanted you to see that there's nothing to fear in Zou Ruoming," Wei Zhao said, not answering her question directly. "I could feel your fear of him, so I showed you in the only way that counts — I can beat him whenever I like. I can slap his face right in front of the Director of Academic Affairs!"
