When Shu Lulu hung up the phone, she held back her laughter for a few minutes but eventually couldn't resist and burst into hearty laughter in the very quiet classroom.
Actually, she really wanted to hold back her laughter since the class bell had rung and a teacher had walked into the classroom, but Chu Ge's idea was just too bold and devious for her to control herself.
Shu Lulu's sudden laughter startled the teacher who had just entered, he intended to scold at first, but upon seeing that the laughing person was Shu Lulu, he swallowed his words quickly.
Considering the big incident that happened in the morning, which had already spread across the school, he didn't want to invite trouble at this time.
"Teacher, I'd like to excuse myself for a moment, I'll be right back, is that okay?"
Initially, Shu Lulu wanted to wait until after class to find Qi Shuyuan, but she soon realized she couldn't sit still and kept wanting to laugh. She was eager to see what kind of expression Qi Shuyuan would have after hearing her words.
"Sure, sure, no rush to come back, go on," the teacher who walked in nodded hurriedly and agreed kindly when Shu Lulu asked for leave.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Having received approval, Shu Lulu immediately left the classroom, took her phone as a precaution as Chu Ge had said, set it to Chu Ge's number, and then went to the fourth floor, standing at the entrance of the guidance office, where a new door was yet to be installed.
"Director Qi, good afternoon! Well, Teacher Qi is here too, perfect, no need to look for each of you individually."
Looking at Qi Shuyuan's face, which had been beaten to a pulp by Chu Ge, and Qi Shuheng's hands, subconsciously trembling and hanging softly by his sides, Shu Lulu curled her lips into a cold smile and spoke mockingly.
"It's... it's Shu Lulu, is there... is there anything you need?"
Seeing Shu Lulu at the door, Qi Shuheng and Qi Shuyuan shuddered simultaneously, their expressions as if they weren't looking at a lively young schoolgirl but rather a menacing specter, and after exchanging glances, Qi Shuyuan, with trepidation, spoke first.
"Of course, I do, otherwise what would I be doing here?"
If it were any day before today, despite how much Shu Lulu disliked these two, as a student, she couldn't speak so boldly, but now with Chu Ge as her unwavering support, she no longer needed to swallow her anger.
Hearing Shu Lulu's words, the already unpleasant look on Qi Shuyuan's face turned even worse, a surge of anger burning within.
However, when he saw Shu Lulu casually playing with her phone, the words "Dear Uncle" clearly lit up, ready to dial at any moment, his anger was quickly replaced by dread.
Even if Qi Shuyuan thought with his toes, he could guess that "Dear Uncle" referred to Chu Ge.
Even though hours had passed, Qi Shuyuan hadn't forgotten Chu Ge's look before leaving, the words he said still echoing in his mind.
"Director Qi, there are some words that I won't voice out, I hope you're aware, don't think this can just be let go."
Seeing Shu Lulu's stance now, Qi Shuyuan felt that ten to one, she was here under Chu Ge's instructions to continue settling scores.
"Shu Lulu, if you have something to say, just say it."
Sighing inwardly with regret, Qi Shuyuan forced himself to stay composed and responded with a forced smile.
Shu Lulu didn't rush to speak. Instead, she crossed her arms over her chest, looking at the two in front of her with a look of undisguised sarcasm and disdain.
Feeling Shu Lulu's gaze bearing down, both Qi Shuyuan and Qi Shuheng felt even more uneasy and uncomfortable, the air that was originally abundant seemed to become thin, making it hard for them to breathe. Qi Shuheng's hands, still trembling from Chu Ge's earlier intimidation, began to shake even more.
"Director Qi, I'll leave it at that for now, I'm heading back."
In this oppressive atmosphere, Qi Shuheng said to Qi Shuyuan, intending to leave this place rendered suffocating by Shu Lulu's presence.
However, Shu Lulu blocked the entrance to the office, moving left when he moved left, and moving right when he moved right, showing no intention of letting him pass, despite his increasingly grim expression.
"Teacher Qi, why rush off? I have business with both of you brothers, besides, aren't you inviting me in? How long do you want me to stand here?"
Seeing Qi Shuheng's face, sullen and burning with unexpressed anger, caused Shu Lulu joy from head to toe as she taunted.
Though Shu Lulu wasn't someone who would deliberately make things difficult for others, because of what the brothers had done to her, she was by no means going to tolerate their bad habits now.
Anyone who treats Shu Lulu well will surely be rewarded, but those who bully her, she is surely no saint who repays grievances with kindness!
Homeroom teacher? Director of the Education Department? Whoever the hell you think you are, get the hell out of here! Screw off!
"Shu Lulu, please come in."
Qi Shuyuan knew this matter had to be resolved sooner or later; he couldn't delay it even if he wanted to. He could only sigh inwardly and politely invite her in.
Although Qi Shuheng's hands looked non-threatening, Shu Lulu remained vigilant, keeping her thumb close to Chu Ge's phone number. If Qi Shuheng made any move, she would immediately dial the number.
Sitting on the sofa, Shu Lulu leaned her upper body back, crossing her legs, gently swaying one foot. She glanced at Qi Shuheng, who had retreated to the Education Department, and said, "Director Qi, the tea you made for us in the morning wasn't bad. Which student's parent gave it to you? Helping them revoke some punishment? How much money did you get for that?"
Qi Shuyuan's face twitched slightly as he got up to make Shu Lulu another pot of tea, offering a sheepish smile, "Shu Lulu, let's discuss the matter at hand and not joke around, okay?"
"Joking? You know whether it's a joke or not. And don't bother pretending to brew me tea—who knows if you've added something nasty in it."
When Qi Shuyuan finished brewing the tea and was about to pour it, Shu Lulu instinctively mimicked Chu Ge's calm tone and trademark smile, tilting her head and speaking teasingly.
After today's events, Shu Lulu had matured considerably, becoming more cautious than before.
"This… that's impossible, haha…" Qi Shuyuan gave an empty laugh, setting the teapot back on the table.
"Enough of your fake smiles, they're disgusting. You already know why I'm here, so just sit and listen."
With Qi Shuyuan watching nervously, Shu Lulu curved her lips into a smirk and suddenly turned to look at Qi Shuheng, who hadn't spoken a word.
"Teacher Qi, I've got more issues with him, but let's start with you. My uncle and I won't make things difficult for you. Just write a self-review of no less than 6,000 words before the end of school today, read it in front of our entire senior class five, and hand it to me. Then, we'll call it even."
"What!"
Qi Shuheng's pupils contracted, his eyes burning with repressed anger, suddenly flaring up.
He never dreamed that Shu Lulu, or rather Chu Ge behind her, would make such a request. It was simply preposterous, outrageous!
"Teacher Qi, calm down. Don't you often make us write self-reviews? If you find them unsatisfactory, we'd have to rewrite them, wouldn't we? My uncle and I are being quite generous, okay? As long as you write it, we won't fuss about the quality. What's there for you to be dissatisfied with?"
Qi Shuheng's reaction was completely within Shu Lulu's expectations. She smiled slightly and spoke in an unusually composed manner.
"You're dreaming! I'm your teacher!"
Qi Shuheng was nearly exploding with rage, shaking all over, pointing a trembling finger at Shu Lulu's nose.
Facing Qi Shuheng's murderous gaze, Shu Lulu stood up unhurriedly from the sofa and walked leisurely to his side, pressing down his quivering arm.
"Teacher Qi, when we students make mistakes or what you consider mistakes, we have to write self-reviews, endure corporal punishment, and accept penalties. When you make a mistake, you think you can just gloss over it quietly? You don't have to take responsibility for your mistakes? Haha... where is there such an easy way out in the world?"
"You... you… this is too much, too much! Don't you know what it means to respect teachers? You... this is outrageous!"
Shu Lulu smiled slightly, nodding, "Of course I understand. There are many teachers worthy of my respect in this school, but unfortunately… you aren't one of them!"
"Oh, now you care about your reputation, huh? Hmm?"
"Did you think of that when you searched our bags?"
"When you insulted me, insulted my father, did you think of that?"
"When you used the excuse of extra tutoring to demand parents' hard-earned money, and your son bullied me while you pinned all the blame on me and found every excuse to pick on me, did you think of that?"
As Shu Lulu relentlessly questioned him, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a mocking, disdainful sneer!
"Qi Shuheng, I've said enough. Now you can leave. Whether you write or not is your own business, decide for yourself!"
After speaking, Shu Lulu turned her gaze to Qi Shuyuan, whose forehead was now drenched in cold sweat.
