<h4>Chapter 86: Shooting Herself in the Foot!</h4>


    Ruan Qingqing grasped at herst hope. “It’s really Gu Yin! We bumped into Meng Jinyang in the hall that day and Gu Yin stopped her and said something about Meng Jinyanging to school even after what happened to her. She asked about the ostomy bag. Later, we ran into Lu Yang in the supermarket who was buying food for you. Gu Yin kept saying that you were expelled for fighting and that you were not worthy of Lu Yang. She told me that deliberately!”


    Lu Shangjin frowned, why was Lu Yang involved again? Was Lu Yangpatible with Gu Mang? That dim-witted son of his waspatible with the big boss?!


    Ruan Qingqing looked at Gu Mang innocently, looking as though she were the biggest victim. Gu Yin was Gu Mang’s sister. She definitely wouldn’t be so cold-hearted as to seek Gu Yin out for this.


    She said emphatically, “Gu Mang, I swear every word I say is true!”


    A terrifying chill shed in Gu Mang’s eyes and she smirked. “Fine, if you can exin this matter in front of the whole school and expel Gu Yin.”


    Ruan Qingqing’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You want the school to expel Gu Yin? Isn’t she your sister? How could you be so ruthless!”


    Gu Mang looked cold and expressionless as she nced at Lu Shangjin.


    Lu Shangjin couldn’t be bothered with useless chatter, so he gave the principal a look.


    Principal Fu said coldly, “Ruan Qingqing, let me know your decision next Monday. We’ll either expel you or Gu Yin.”


    Hearing that, the emotions Ruan Qingqing wore on her expression immediately vanished.


    She couldn’t offend Gu Yin. The Ruans couldn’t offend Gu Yin. Ruan Qingqing walked out of the meeting room looking forlorn.


    Jiang Shenyuan and Lu Chengzhou looked at each other. They both thought Gu Mang’s move was quite interesting. It’d be interesting to see what the Ruans and Leis would do now.


    ...


    At the Ruan residence.


    After hearing of what happened, the Ruans’ old master struck his crutches on the ground. “Idiot! I thought by going to Ming City High School you would be smarter. Little did I know you would actually get dumber!”


    Ruan Qingqing burst into tears. “Grandpa, you have to help me. I don’t want to be expelled. Why don’t we donate another building to the school?”


    The Ruan’s old master broke out in augh. “Grow a brain, why don’t you! Do you take Principal Fu for a fool?! You think he doesn’t know where the Ruan family stands in society? But even so, he wants to expel someone to make amends for Gu Mang. Do you still not understand that whoever is backing Gu Mang is much more powerful than our family!”


    Ruan Qingqing remembered the several men who seemed very respected in the meeting room. Principal Fu had been taking instructions from them. Suddenly, her face turned ashen.


    Xu Hui cried and tugged at Ruan Dongsheng, “Hubby, Qing Qing can’t be expelled. Let’s settle this privately with Gu Mang. Our family willpensate them with some money.”


    Ruan Dongsheng frowned as though he thought thatpensation wouldn’t work.


    If Gu Mang was as the old master said, she probably wouldn’t need or want the money.


    He thought for a moment and said, “Gu Yin yed a part in this too. She is Gu Mang’s sister. She has done wrong. Even if Gu Mang is unwilling, they wouldn’t just watch Gu Yin be expelled.”


    “So... Hubby, do you mean we should go and visit Gu Yin?” Xu Hui wiped her tears, “Would that work? Gu Yin did say those things about her sister.”


    Meng Jinyang said that Gu Yin knew about what had happened to her. Knowing that Gu Mang was forced to beat someone up, Gu Yin still spoke of her sister that way in front of Qingqing.


    What a vicious person.


    Ruan Dongsheng pursed his lips and said solemnly, “I’ll go to the Lei residence to talk to them. Lei Xiao is after all Gu Mang’s uncle, how could Gu Mang not heed the words of her uncle?”
