Chapter 1390: Chapter 1390: Flirting and Bantering

Xia Chuqing couldn’t hear the voice on the other end, only Xiao Mo’s extremely icy tone: "Alright, come over now."

By the time they arrived at the principal’s office, Xiao Mo let go of his grip and tossed Wang Fei inside.

The assistant in the principal’s office was startled: "Xiao... Mr. Xiao... What is this?"

"It’s none of your business, get out." Xiao Mo said indifferently.

The assistant didn’t know whether to stay or leave, but Xia Chuqing recognized him and gave him a meaningful look: "You go out and wait for a bit, the principal will be here shortly."

"You leave too." Xiao Mo glanced at Xia Chuqing.

"Me? I won’t leave. If I do and he twists the truth, what am I going to do?" Xia Chuqing, of course, refused.

"Scared now? Why didn’t I see you hesitate when you were fighting?" Xiao Mo looked at her with an unchanged expression.

"You... Wouldn’t you be angry if people badmouthed you behind your back?"

"Have you not considered the consequences of fighting?" Xiao Mo continued to interrogate.

Xia Chuqing hadn’t considered it. The consequences of fighting for an average person wouldn’t be much, but for a student with good grades, it meant missing out on many scholarships and being unable to participate in many activities.

"I..." Xia Chuqing found herself at a loss for words, and she tentatively asked, "You... You wouldn’t tell the principal I started the fight, would you? Xiao Mo, you’re not that kind of person, right?"

Xia Chuqing was also in a panic. If she received a demerit, what would she do then?

With graduation approaching, she certainly did not want a black mark in her record.

And with Wang Fei having enough influence to twist the truth, her father, being the mayor of A City, was too far away to be related.

"So what kind of person do you think I am?" Xiao Mo countered, his gaze not leaving her face.

It was the first time he saw such a rich array of expressions on Xia Chuqing’s face; had he not seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t believe how good she was at fighting, even outmatching several boys.

This was hardly befitting of the mayor’s daughter...

Xia Chuqing bit her lower lip. She had cursed Xiao Mo before the fight, but at times like these, a smart person knows better than to argue.

She softened her stance: "Mr. Xiao, in my eyes, you are obviously a gentleman."

"Mr. Xiao..." Xiao Mo pondered these three words, looking at her leisurely, "Have we grown so distant from each other?"

Xia Chuqing bit her lip; if it weren’t for the fear of him making up lies to the principal, she would have kicked him already.

"Good brother, we’re okay now, right?" Xia Chuqing said.

After finishing, she almost rolled her eyes. Damn it, she’s never been so melodramatic before.

Xiao Mo wore an expression of speechlessness, and for a moment he was so exasperated he couldn’t speak.

However, Xia Chuqing didn’t think it was inappropriate, as at the milk tea shop, he himself said that he considered her a sister.

"Flirting and scolding." Wang Fei looked unconvinced. He had already called his dad; his dad would arrive soon, and they would be in trouble, "Thieves and prostitutes."

"Damn, Wang Fei, did I go too easy on you? Should have beaten you to death?" Xia Chuqing circled around Xiao Mo, eager to hit him.

Xiao Mo stopped her, giving her a stern look: "Can’t you see this is not the place for fighting!"

"Let go of me, Xiao Mo! Who’s flirting with you? I can’t stand being wronged; I want to beat him up! Let go!" Xia Chuqing struggled.

Xiao Mo blocked her way and didn’t let her move, saying indifferently, "Doesn’t it look like we are flirting with each other?"

"..." Xia Chuqing lifted her head with a twitch at the corner of her mouth.

"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, Mr. Xiao, for keeping you waiting."

Just then, the Principal pushed open the door, apologizing repeatedly.

Having glanced at Xia Chuqing, Xiao Mo said in a lowered voice, "Get out!"

"I’m warning you, don’t you say anything crazy, or I will... I will..." Xia Chuqing thought for a long moment, "I’ll go complain to Sister Chaomu!"

Xiao Mo ignored her and walked straight toward the Principal.

Xia Chuqing had no choice but to leave; she couldn’t win against Xiao Mo.

"Mr. Xiao, what kind of tea would you like?" the Principal asked.

"No need, let’s get straight to business," Xiao Mo got straight to the point.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Fei, pointing at the bruise on his own face, exclaimed, "Uncle, Xia Chuqing hit someone! Everyone saw it! There’s surveillance footage!"

The Principal felt particularly embarrassed at this "Uncle" call, with a hint of discomfort on his face.

Xiao Mo passed a cigarette to the Principal and lit one for him and himself, speaking lightly, "Xia Chuqing was only acting in self-defense, but it is true that he was rude first. Principal, you can check the surveillance footage."

"Chuqing has always been a good student, I’m aware of that," the Principal nodded, "There’s no need to check the surveillance, I trust Mr. Xiao as a witness."

Wang Fei became anxious, "Uncle, does that mean you don’t believe me? Is the injury on my face fake? Could it be that I hit myself?"

"Mr. Xiao just said that Xia Chuqing acted in self-defense."

"Damn it," Wang Fei cursed under his breath, someone indeed had the ability to turn black into white.

"Hmm," Xiao Mo nodded, exhaling a puff of smoke, "Chuqing was probably too scared today, so she went a bit too far with her response. She’s still a bit scared now, I’ll need to take her to see a psychologist later. After all, the words this student said were too harsh for a girl."

"Is that so? Mr. Xiao, then I’ll trouble you with this. I apologize for my oversight," the Principal said apologetically.

"It’s alright, I don’t plan to pursue the school’s responsibility, especially since the Science and Technology Museum that C University is currently constructing is being supervised by my subordinates, and in any case, we are all family," Xiao Mo hinted.

Of course, the Principal understood what Xiao Mo meant; if Shen’s withdrew their investment before the Science and Technology Museum was completed, it would be problematic.

Xiao Mo might be the vice president of Shen’s, but he was said to have a significant say in the company.

"Uncle, you can’t just listen to his side; listen to me," Wang Fei pleaded anxiously.

"What’s there to say, a boy bullying a girl, aren’t you ashamed?" the Principal said bluntly.

Wang Fei felt extremely wronged. Xia Chuqing was too scared? Needed to see a psychologist? Damn it... Xia Chuqing is simply a shrew, okay?! He’s the one who’s scared, okay?!

The psychological shadow Wang Fei had at this moment was as huge as a soccer field!

"You are a sensible person, Principal," Xiao Mo said, "Chuqing is the sister of a friend of mine, and this student has made some quite unpleasant remarks about me and Chuqing, which have caused a certain impact on my reputation. I don’t mind, but it’s different for Chuqing.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Xiao, I apologize for the lack of oversight over our students," the Principal said.

"It’s not your concern; just have the student apologize to Chuqing. However, I’ve heard that this student often fights at school, and it seems... his credits were also bought?" Xiao Mo looked meaningfully at the Principal.

The Principal felt a certain amount of pressure; if this kind of thing got out, it would greatly affect his position as well as the school’s reputation.
