Chapter 5 Put In A Good Word For Me
When Zhan Lengrui arrived, An Xiaoxiao was standing outside the principal's office with her head hung low and sporting a demoralized face.
“What did you do?”
At the sound of the voice, An Xiaoxiao jerked her head up. He came!
“Uncle!” She desperately wanted to tell him that she hadn't caused any trouble. “It's really not my fault this time. You have to trust me.”
The anxiety on her face was noticeable, and her eyes were dull with grievance.
Zhan Lengrui's face instantly fell. Who dares to bully her? Bloody hell!
Ms. Chen who was standing next to Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. This tall and handsome emperor-like man is An Xiaoxiao's uncle?
Her breathing stopped as her eyes fixed on Zhan Lengrui.
The intensity emanating from the man was overpowering.
Zhan Lengrui was a little disturbed by Ms. Chen's stare. Furrowing his thick brows, he greeted the teacher, “Nice to meet you. I'm Xiaoxiao's uncle, Zhan Lengrui.”
Such a simple sentence coming out from Zhan Lengrui's mouth was even more impactful and shocking than the fact that he had come to school.
At the same time, she could feel warmth surging in her heart.
An Xiaoxiao bowed her head and her cheeks were on fire.
She was usually unfazed by her poor academic performance, but to call a family member to school was shameful. All the more so especially since he was the younger brother of Zhan Mingmei, her stepmother.
An Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that if her stepmother found out about this, she would surely be in deep trouble.
Meanwhile, Ms. Chen came back to her senses and hurriedly said, “Oh, it's Mr. Zhan. It's nice to meet you too.”
She had a feeling that An Xiaoxiao was not about to get expelled.
Even if the two had no blood relationship, her identity as Zhan Lengrui's niece was enough for the principal to reconsider his decision.
Zhan Lengrui came from a prestigious family and he was highly ranked in Jing City's military base. He wasn't just an emperor-like ordinary man; he was the emperor.
The fact that he was here was equivalent to acknowledging An Xiaoxiao's identity as his niece.
Would the principal dare expel Zhan Lengrui's niece?
Ms. Chen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at An Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, you two should go inside then.”
An Xiaoxiao nodded. However, as if she had suddenly thought of something, she hastily spoke, “Wait a second.”
She pulled Zhan Lengrui aside, looked him straight in the eyes, and urged, “Uncle, you must put in a good word for me later. Please don't makes things worse for me. Otherwise, I'll... I'll...”
Is she kidding? Why would I be here if I’m unconcerned?
But instead of saying that, he asked, “What will you do?”
An Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth. Although she was embarrassed, she steeled herself and answered, “I'll draw a portrait of your body and put it on display.”
Zhan Lengrui was speechless. This girl is really something! Has she memorized everything with just one glance?
An Xiaoxiao's face had turned crimson red by now.
Just as she thought Zhan Lengrui was about to hit her, he bent down and whispered in her ears, “Did you like what you saw?”
The lass froze as goosebumps formed on her arms. Like what I saw? How is he not shameless to ask that?
Biting her lip, she looked up and glared at the brazen Zhan Lengrui. She wanted to call him a thug but the words that came to her lips were, “It was nice.”
