258: Section 258

"Thanks for your concern, is there anything else? If not, we're leaving!"

"Lin Yi, let's go!"

Lin Yi nodded with a light chuckle and continued walking forward.

Until they drifted further and further away.

Chen Hao's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

"Brother Hao, who are those brats? Qin Zhaoxue actually ended up with them? Isn't that clearly trying to make you lose Face?"

"Who's to say it isn't? She's the famous Ice Goddess in our school, yet she actually smiled at that brat just now..."

"Those are all new Faces. Judging by their age, they might be freshmen this year..."

"Damn, a few commoners from the Old District actually managed to gain Qin Zhaoxue's favor?"

"Chen Hao, are you actually capable or not? Don't let your Goddess Zhaoxue get snatched away by a few commoners in the end!"

"Hahaha..."

In an instant, the others all burst into laughter.

Faced with their mockery, Chen Hao's expression became even gloomier.

His fists clenched so tightly that they made a 'crack' sound.

After a long while, he said coldly, "Those little bastards, I'll deal with them sooner or later!"

Once those words were out, the others exchanged meaningful glances.

Those who could hang out with Chen Hao were all children from martial arts families.

Perhaps they couldn't compare to the Chen family's ancient martial Bloodline.

However, just by bearing the name of a family, they would be held in higher regard at school.

"Alright, now we're going to have a good show. We should set some rules for those from the Old District and teach them a lesson!"

The group said with a laugh again.

Chen Hao's gaze became increasingly cold.

Xingwu University. Inside the principal's office.

A shapely secretary was reporting on work.

Tang Baichuan nodded from time to time, agreeing to something.

And just at this moment, the door was pushed open.

The secretary and Tang Baichuan both turned to look.

Just as they were about to say something, they realized it was Tang Qinru who had walked in.

The anger vanished instantly, replaced by a Face full of fawning smiles.

Ignoring the secretary's gaze, he hurried out from behind the desk.

"Qinru, why are you here? Why didn't you call me beforehand?"

Tang Qinru cast him a glance.

"Why would I call you? So you could prepare yourself?"

She glanced at the secretary.

Tang Baichuan hurriedly explained, "Look at you, misunderstanding again, aren't you? We were just discussing work, really..."

Just as he was speaking, he waved a hand behind his back.

Seeing this, how could the secretary not understand his meaning? She nodded slightly and walked out.

Chapter 203: Daughter-obsessed? Henpecked! (Requesting Follow-up Reads)

After the secretary left, only Tang Baichuan and Tang Qinru remained in the office.

Tang Baichuan walked over with a cup of coffee.

He set it down in front of Tang Qinru and whispered, "Qinru, no matter what, I am your father. Can't you leave me a little Face in front of outsiders?"

"If this gets out, where will my authority in the school be? Who among those below will still obey me?"

Tang Qinru sneered at him, "Old Tang, you're talking to me about Face now? When you divorced my mother back then, why didn't you think about Face?"

"I..."

Tang Baichuan was so retorted that he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Who told him he was in the wrong? Back then, he was seduced by a little vixen. Before anything had even happened, Tang Qinru's mother had already discovered it.

Even though he tried to explain a hundred times, it was useless, and it still ended in divorce.

Since then, Tang Qinru's relationship with him had drifted further and further apart. Unless there was something specific, it was hard to even meet him usually.

"Let's not talk about the past anymore. I was truly framed, I promise..." Tang Baichuan still wanted to explain.

Tang Qinru didn't want to listen.

"Go tell these things to my mother. What's the use of explaining to me?"

"Old Tang, I came to see you today to tell you that Lin Yi has arrived at the school!"

"Who? Lin Yi? He's come to the school to register?" Tang Baichuan was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I just brought him over. Old Tang, don't blame me for not warning you. I don't support Lin Yi coming to your Xingwu, and neither does my grandfather!"

"But we respect Lin Yi's choice. Since he's already here, I'm entrusting his safety to you from now on. If I find out that Lin Yi has suffered even the slightest grievance at Xingwu University!"

"My grandfather won't need to come find you; I will settle the score with you myself. Did you get that?" Tang Qinru said in a stiff tone.

Hearing this, Tang Baichuan smiled helplessly and nodded.

"No matter what, he is considered my nephew, right? How could I let him suffer under my nose? Tell your grandfather and your mother later that Lin Yi is with me, and I guarantee I'll feed him until he's plump and healthy!"

Tang Baichuan patted his chest in assurance. Tang Qinru nodded and stood up from the sofa.

"Fine, remember what you said. If he suffers any grievance, don't blame me for not acknowledging you!"

After she finished speaking, Tang Qinru headed straight for the outside of the office. Just as she was about to open the door, she stopped.

She tilted her head slightly and said, "Old Tang, do you actually want to save your marriage with my mother or not?"

"I do, of course I do. There hasn't been a day I haven't wanted to..." Tang Baichuan nodded repeatedly, his eyes revealing genuine emotion.

How could Tang Qinru not understand his personality? In fact, she also understood that Old Tang had been schemed against; that little vixen had approached him intentionally and had deliberately taken some photos.

It's just that Tang Qinru's mother simply refused to listen to any explanation. That's why it reached this point, and it has already been several years now.

Tang Qinru's mother kept herself extremely busy all day long. So busy that even for her, it was very difficult to meet her.

She also understood that her mother wanted to use work to numb herself. In fact, there was still a foundation of affection between the two of them. Neither of them wanted things to end up like this today.

"If you really want to save it, put in more effort. Take the time to coax her more and care for her more; that's better than anything else, unless you have another woman in your heart, then just ignore what I said!"

"How is that possible? Your dad is not that kind of person!"

Bang— Before Old Tang could finish saying the word 'person', the office door was shut.

Tang Baichuan was stunned for a moment, and a smile gradually appeared on his Face. Although his daughter was still so cold to him, the fact that she could say these things today showed that she was still leaning towards him.

His daughter was right; he needed to be more proactive and care for her more, and perhaps he could save his failed marriage.

Following that, he picked up the phone and dialed a number. After a burst of busy signals, the call was connected.

"Hello?" A capable woman's voice came from the phone. It just sounded a bit cold.
