Chapter 2332: Don’t Be a Hindrance
Guo Hai and the others were not as naive as Howard.
They did not think that Lu Man would display any magnanimity now.
After all, given Lu Man’s track record, they had already heard way too much.
She had always been one to take revenge if she needed to. When had she ever been magnanimous?
But the people from Donghua Film Academy and Donghua Academy of Drama, who lived far away in Dong City, had only read about Lu Man’s record through the Internet or the news, and they did not have such first-hand understanding of her.
Hence, only the students from Donghua Academy of Drama and Donghua Film Academy grumbled a little in their hearts, wondering if Lu Man planned to let Howard off now.
But they could understand it too. After all, they were on other people’s territory, so it would not be good to be too arrogant.
If they let Howard off, they would have reduced the tensions between both sides, so it would not be as tense as it had been previously.
It’s fine if they wanted to stop right now.
They’d pretend as if they were giving their school face.
If Han Leilei were to know of their thoughts, she would definitely say that they were just youngsters who were too innocent.
“There’s no need to find another time.” Indeed, Lu Man was then heard saying, “You can do it now.”
Howard felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he stood rooted to the ground.
The students from the two schools, Donghua Film Academy and Donghua Academy of Drama, were also stunned.
They did not expect to have thought wrongly.
Lu Man really did not intend to spare Howard.
Wu Zilin wanted to persuade Lu Man to not make their relations too tense.
Howard was one thing, but if they made his school lose face because of him, this would not be good.
He was just about to speak, but Guo Hai seemed to have understood his intentions and immediately stopped him.
Among the five boys, Tan Mingxiao was the tallest.
Just now, Tan Mingxiao had been the first to speak, so Guo Hai left it to him for the moment to take care of and watch the others.
He was afraid that at this juncture, someone would step up to mediate and act as if they valued harmony so much, but they would actually just be a hindrance to Lu Man, reducing her dominance.
Guo Hai did not think he was overthinking. After all, there had never been a shortage of such people.
They were one body, so they had to support Lu Man.
The moment someone voiced a different opinion, it would only make others see them as a joke.
Anyway, this victory had been won by Lu Man through her own efforts.
What she should do, what kind of decision she should make, Lu Man also had the final word over it.
Since the others did not help her, they shouldn’t try telling her what to do.
Hence, the moment Wu Zilin had such a thought, Guo Hai suppressed it.
Guo Hai said in a low voice to Wu Zilin, “At such a moment, the most important thing is for us to be united. No matter what decision Lu Man makes, we must support her together, or else, other people will treat us like a joke.”
Wu Zilin paused for a moment and said in a low voice, “I just think that we should value harmony above all rather than take things to the extreme and make the other party unable to save face, ruining our relations.”
Sun Hezhou scoffed and said, “Aren’t our relations already ruined? When they were mocking us, why didn’t I see anyone stepping up to say they valued harmony? Why should you step up and tell Lu Man to value harmony above all else now that she has the upper hand? That was a win that Lu Man has earned using her own capabilities. Why should we dictate what Lu Man should do? No matter what is going to happen, the only person who has the right to make decisions is only Lu Man.”
“That’s right. The most important thing for us right now is to be united,” Xu Chuansheng also said in a small voice. “Especially when it’s in front of so many people. If we openly said something that disagreed with Lu Man, it might make Lu Man look bad. Shouldn’t we help our own side first? Even if we can’t help, we shouldn’t be a hindrance to Lu Man.”
“Yeah. Lu Man has earned such a huge credit to make us proud, and pride is so hard to come by. We don’t have this capability ourselves. We can’t possibly want to be a hindrance to Lu Man even when Lu Man has this capability, right?”
