Chapter 297 - 297 New Director
297 New Director
“Alright, I won’t waste your time then.” Zhou Wei felt a little regretful as well. Chu Ning seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from him.
After bidding farewell to Zhou Wei and leaving the building, Chu Ning heaved a long sigh of relief. She had solved another problem.
Zhou Wei stood at the window and looked at Chu Ning’s figure as she walked further away. His eyes were dazed for a moment as if he was lost in his memories.
“It’s okay, I’m willing to wait.” Zhou Wei muttered to himself.
Chu Ning had not returned to the Chu residence for a few days. It was important for her to meet her family.
Chu Ning had been too busy recently, so she could finally catch her breath that night.
“Oh? The busy person is back?” The moment Chu Ning returned home, she saw Chu Huan sitting cross-legged on the sofa. He was eating grapes as he spoke in a strange tone.
Their parents were cooking, while Chu Jing and Chu Zhang were in their rooms. One was reading a medical book, while the other was typing on the keyboard in front of the computer. When they heard Chu Huan’s voice, they both walked out of their rooms at the same time.
When they saw Chu Ning, they had a complicated expression.
“What’s wrong, Second brother, Seventh brother?” Chu Ning ignored Chu Huan’s sarcasm and smiled at the two of them.
“Xiao Ning, did something bad happen to you in school?” The frank Chu Jing asked directly.
“Huh? Second Brother, why are you asking this?” Then, Chu Ning reacted. She looked at Chu Huan and said, “What have you been saying?”
“I’m not talking nonsense. Xiao Ting told me that you can’t stay in school anymore and that you’re about to be expelled.” Chu Huan shrank back. He was most afraid of Chu Ning’s expressionless face.
“Why would the school do such a thing?” Chu Zhang, who had been in the hospital, wasn’t clear about this.
“Xiao Ning, are you breaking the school rules? Also, someone came here to look for you previously, but I said that you weren’t home,” Chu Jing said with a serious expression.
“Second Brother, I didn’t break any school rules and the school doesn’t intend to expel me. That’s all I can say for now. I’ve also taken two days off. I should be able to return to school tomorrow,” Chu Ning explained softly.
“Alright, alright. Why did you ask for leave? There must be a problem,” Chu Huan mumbled again.
“Chu Huan, shut up.” Chu Jing said impatiently.
Chu Zhang also smiled. After staying at home for a few days, Chu Zhang realized that Chu Huan was rather afraid of Chu Jing.
“It’s good that you’re fine. If there’s anything, you have to tell us. If you really can’t stay in Jingyuan High School, you can consider changing schools. There are so many high schools in M City. With your academic performance, they should be very welcoming of you.” Chu Jing thought for a while before continuing.
“I know, Second Brother. I know what I’m doing.” Chu Ning didn’t want the Chu family to worry about her because of what was happening in school.
After having dinner at home, Chu Ning awoke early the next day. At around seven o’clock, she put on a set of casual clothes and left.
Upon arriving at the gate of Jingyuan High School, Chu Ning could not help but feel emotional. Although it was only a two-day leave, Chu Ning felt that it had been a long time.
“Look, look. Isn’t that Chu Ning? Why isn’t she wearing her school uniform?”
“Lower your voice; what are you so excited about? Are you afraid that she can’t hear you? I heard from others that she’s about to be expelled from the school!”
“Huh? Can it be? Didn’t she just win the gold medal in the national physics competition not long ago? And she’s so pretty, why would the school expel her?”
“You don’t understand. I heard that she’s having a relationship outside of school!”
“How can this be? She’s so pretty, I didn’t think that she would be such a person in private…”
Chu Ning’s appearance immediately caused a heated discussion among the students. Of course, they were all malicious speculations.
Chu Ning remained calm and composed. She did not care about the gazes of others and walked around the campus as though she was taking a stroll. She didn’t plan on going to the classroom straightaway, as it wasn’t time yet. Besides, according to the school rules, students who weren’t wearing the school uniform were not allowed to enter the classroom unless there were some special reasons.
Soon, the bell for the first class rang. Chu Ning was still strolling around the school field with her hands behind her back.
At the same time, a brand new Rolls-Royce slowly drove through the main gate of Jingyuan High School. At the main gate, principal Cao Bo and a group of school leaders had already lined up in two rows. Everyone wore a bright smile on their faces.
