"Hmph!"

It seemed that he felt it beneath his dignity to continue speaking with a small-time ruffian like Xu Fan, the elder flicked his robe and turned to look at Yan Ruyu.

"Yan Ruyu, with this kid being so arrogant, today, I must deal with him!"

"This..."

Looking at Zhou Fujun, Yan Ruyu felt rather embarrassed.

Firstly, Elder Guan and the board of directors had instructed her to take good care of Xu Fan, and secondly, Xu Fan was a student of her school. She didn't want to see Xu Fan bullied by Zhou Fujun.

"Xu Fan, come out with me for a moment."

Yan Ruyu thought there might still be a chance to turn the situation around. She glanced at Xu Fan, then asked him to follow her out of the office.

"Xu Fan, what exactly is going on between you and Zhou Xiaoshuai?"

Yan Ruyu didn't know the specifics of the situation. Once they were out of the office, she inquired about what had happened from Xu Fan.

Xu Fan looked at Yan Ruyu and said with a curl of his lip, "The guy was bullying someone; I did the right thing and helped out the person being bullied."

"..."

Although Xu Fan was telling the truth, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but feel a mixture of laughter and tears...

In her view, it was more likely that Xu Fan was the one bullying others.

With a sigh, Yan Ruyu then offered her advice, "Xu Fan, Zhou Xiaoshuai's grandfather, Zhou Fujun, is a well-known master of Neijia boxing in Jinling. Every year, countless people come seeking to become his disciples. He's not someone you want to mess with. It's understandable that you're young and hot-blooded, but I advise you to take my suggestion to heart. When we go back in, apologize sincerely to the elderly gentleman."

"At that time, I believe he should give me some face."

"..."

Although he wasn't too fond of Yan Ruyu's approach, Xu Fan still felt a warmth in his heart. This woman, after all, was considering his best interests.

He now took a few more looks at Yan Ruyu's face, which began to flush slightly, as she scolded, "Xu Fan! What are you looking at! Did you listen to what I said?"

"I listened, only..."

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "I've said it before, I'll only apologize if I'm in the wrong. Also, beautiful Principal, let's not talk about this right now. Your illness seems to be about to flare up again, look, why don't I treat it for you?"

"You!"

She had intended to help Xu Fan out of kindness, but he changed the subject to talk about treating an illness!

Yan Ruyu was very clear about what Xu Fan meant by "treating" an illness!

No matter whether Xu Fan's words were true or not, she would not agree!

For a moment, thinking about the pain she was about to endure again, Yan Ruyu's face grew somewhat gloomy.

"Let's go back in."

Yan Ruyu still refused to agree, and she didn't want to waste more words. She decided to wait and see how Zhou Fujun planned to handle the situation before making a decision.

"Xu Fan, what's going on?"

Now back in the office, as Yan Ruyu discussed the matter with Zhou Fujun, Zhou Keren sidled up to Xu Fan, curiosity written all over her face.

She really wanted to know what Yan Ruyu had just said to Xu Fan outside the office.

This woman still had the mood for gossip at a time like this. Xu Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes and leaned in to whisper in her ear, "The principal said she thinks you and I make a good match and asked if I would consider, you know, being your boyfriend."

"You!"

Zhou Keren, upon hearing that, her cheeks instantly turned red. This guy, what a time to be joking!

She anxiously glanced at the principal, fearing that her words had been overheard.

"Hehe, what are you afraid of? I didn't agree to it."

At that moment, Xu Fan added another sentence, which made Zhou Keren even angrier!

This guy! He actually hadn't agreed!

"Hmph! In what ways am I not good enough for you!"

Zhou Keren said indignantly, making a point to push out her chest, thinking to herself, I have a full chest and a curvy butt, and I'm also beautiful, how am I not good enough for you?

Feeling unjust in her heart, she then saw Xu Fan lean in, whispering with a smile, "Because I told her you're already my girlfriend, ah."

"You! Annoying!"

Xu Fan's warm breath fanned across her face, and Zhou Keren felt her cheeks burn.

She hadn't expected that in such a serious setting, she would be teased by this bad guy again!

"Keren, what are you two whispering about?"

At that moment, Yan Ruyu noticed the commotion and asked. Zhou Keren's heart tightened instantly, and she quickly waved her hands to explain, "No, nothing, Principal, please continue."

After speaking, Zhou Keren immediately shut her mouth, glanced at Xu Fan, then at Zhou Fujun, her heart growing a bit anxious.

She just hoped the old man wouldn't be too hard on Xu Fan…

After exchanging a few words with Zhou Fujun, Yan Ruyu asked, "Elder Zhou, after all, Xu Fan is still a child. Can we not make a mountain out of a molehill over this issue…"

Yan Ruyu, though somewhat helpless with Xu Fan's stubborn temperament, still maintained the same attitude, trying her best to help him.

Zhou Fujun, hearing this, laughed coldly.

He looked at Xu Fan with visible dissatisfaction and retorted, "This little bastard is a child, Yan Ruyu? By that logic, isn't my grandchild Zhou Xiaoshuai also a child?"

"This…"

As Yan Ruyu's face grew increasingly embarrassed, Zhou Fujun laughed and said, "Yan Ruyu, I won't make things difficult for you. Since you suggest making a big issue small, then fine, let's make it small."

"Really?"

Yan Ruyu's face lit up with joy, and she quickly turned to Zhou Fujun.

Even Zhou Keren at the side was filled with expectation at that moment.

Zhou Fujun chuckled, then said, "Huh huh, this kid's got guts, daring to bully my grandson, Zhou Fujun. I won't bully you guys, just let him last ten rounds with me, and I, Zhou Fujun, will act as if nothing ever happened."

"That!"

Yan Ruyu couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this! Ten rounds! You should know, many martial arts masters in Jinling City could hardly last ten rounds with him.

And now he expected Xu Fan to last ten rounds? Yan Ruyu laughed, clearly seeing this as an adult bullying a child.

"Elder Zhou, this is after all an issue between children, isn't it somewhat..."

Yan Ruyu hinted that what Zhou Fujun was doing seemed disrespectful due to his age, but Zhou Fujun remained unphased, humming coldly and saying, "What? Yan Ruyu, you want to say I'm bullying the young, is that it? Well, let me tell you, Zhou Fujun, I came here today precisely to bully the young. He doesn't accept it? He has to!"

Zhou Fujun doted on his sole grandson, Zhou Xiaoshuai, beyond measure. He didn't mind when Zhou Xiaoshuai bullied others, but if anyone dared to bully his grandson, that was absolutely not acceptable!

"Kid, I don't care what my grandson did, right or wrong, if you so much as touch a hair on him, it's your fault! You just bullied my grandson; feeling proud, are you? Then fine, today, why doesn't this old man bully you a bit?"
