Chapter 51: Just Wait to Be Fired!

"Bang!"

To everyone's surprise, Zhao Yang slammed his hand heavily onto the table.

"I say no!"

Pei An's anger flared up instantly. "What the hell does it have to do with you?"

Damn it, it was one thing for that brainless simp Xu Ye to lose his mind, but who the hell did Zhao Yang think he was?

Was there even a place for him to speak here?

"If she can stand there and flap her gums on behalf of Xu Ruowei, why the hell can't I stand here and speak for Brother Ye?"

Zhao Yang retorted with absolute confidence, "You're a distant relative who has nothing to do with her, but Brother Ye and I are sworn brothers. What? You think my bond with Brother Ye is weaker than you two?"

"You—"

Pei An wanted to snap back, but...

What Zhao Yang said made so much sense that he found himself completely unable to refute it.

With no other choice, he simply decided to ignore Zhao Yang entirely.

"Xu Ye, you like Ruowei so much..."

Zhao Yang slammed the table again. "The Brother Ye who liked her is dead. She chose this herself, idol!"

"You—"

Pei An was completely enraged by now, while Zhao Yang stared right back at him with a provocative look, refusing to back down.

"Alright, Yangzi, say a little less."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "I'd rather handle this myself."

Su Ziqin glanced at Zhao Yang, her mind beginning to turn.

This guy wasn't bad; she should keep an eye on him in the future.

Well... after all, since he was Ah Ye's good brother, he was naturally her good brother too.

Not noticing her gaze, Zhao Yang felt extremely unsatisfied, but he still obediently stepped back, crossing his arms and leaning slightly to the side.

Pei An breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that stinking simp Xu Ye—

Before that thought could even finish forming, he heard Xu Ye look at him with a half-smile. "Yangzi is right. The Brother Ye who liked her is dead. She chose this herself, idol!"

Pei An: "..."

This time, even his heart leaped into his throat, filling him with a deep sense of unease.

Right at that moment, a fifth group of people burst in—it was Qi Mingyi accompanied by the student union cadres.

"Qi Mingyi, what business do you have sticking your nose in here again?"

Zhao Yang asked, looking thoroughly annoyed.

"What am I here for? To take care of official business, of course."

Qi Mingyi glanced at Xu Ye, then cast a look at Su Ziqin, his eyes filled with triumph and a deep, sinister glee.

Bastard, how dare he hit him? Let's see how he deals with them now!

Of course, if this new freshman knew what was good for her, fine. But if she didn't?

Once he finished off that chicken named Xu Ye to scare the monkeys, he wouldn't mind dealing with this monkey named Su Ziqin as well!

"Xu Ye, you're about to be in big trouble."

"I've officially submitted evidence of your disciplinary violations. Just wait, the head of the Academic Affairs Office will be looking for you personally very soon to announce your expulsion!"

Xu Ye raised an eyebrow and said with complete indifference, "Is that so?"

"You... you still don't believe it? Then just wait for it, you bastard! When you get expelled, let's see if you can still act so arrogant!"

He wasn't in a hurry to threaten Su Ziqin yet. After all, with his status as the vice president of the student union, manipulating a freshman who had just arrived from out of town was child's play.

Once Xu Ye—the chicken killed to warn the monkeys—was expelled, would he even need to make threats?

A single hint, and she'd guarantee herself right into his arms within a minute!

Sure enough, the very next second, Xu Ye's phone rang. It was his counselor calling.

"Xu Ye, what is going on with you?"

"Why on earth is the Academic Affairs Office looking into you out of nowhere?"

"Forget it, this isn't the time to discuss this. Hurry up and get down to the Academic Affairs Office right now!"

"Hear that? Why aren't you moving?"

"A mere lackey, and you dared to hit me?"

"This is what you get for crossing Qi Mingyi!"

Qi Mingyi burst out laughing, his expression growing increasingly arrogant and wild.

"Brother Ye..."

"Ah Ye..."

Su Ziqin and Zhao Yang cried out at the same time, though their emotions were completely different.

Su Ziqin furrowed her brows in displeasure, while Zhao Yang was genuinely worried.

Zhao Yang didn't know Xu Ye's true identity. Like the other students at Jiangzhou University, he had always assumed Xu Ye was merely a servant in Xu Ruowei's household.

With an identity like that targeted by the student union and dragged all the way to the Academic Affairs Office...

"It's fine, don't worry."

Xu Ye didn't care in the least. Instead, he winked at Su Ziqin.

"Don't worry? Xu Ye, you're out of your damn mind, aren't you? Death is on your doorstep and you're still acting this stubborn?"

Annoyed, Qi Mingyi glared at him with a ferocious expression. "You just wait for me, bastard! Once you're expelled, I've got plenty of ways to make your life hell!"

Xu Ye's gaze turned cold, and he raised his hand, preparing to slap Qi Mingyi across the face once more.

Right at that moment, however, Xu Ruowei suddenly stepped in.

"Xu Ye, haven't you made enough of a scene yet?"

"Do you even know where this is?"

"This is a school, not your home!"

"Expulsion is no joke, and besides!"

"Today you didn't just hit Vice President Qi; you also hit Zhou Wenhao and Pei An. Have you actually considered the consequences of blowing this up?"

"Here's what you're going to do: apologize to me right now, and I can help plead with the school on your behalf to avoid giving you too severe a punishment!"

This was actually a threat, because she had finally remembered that she was the president of the student union!

Xu Ye had beaten people on school grounds, and she had all the witnesses and physical evidence!

So what if the Xu family was wealthy?

If the matter blew up, even if you were the son of the prime minister, you'd still be expelled just the same!

Therefore, the power to decide how to handle this rested entirely in her hands. If he obediently bowed his head, fine, but if he was still going to be disobedient now?

Then she wouldn't blame herself for exposing everything to the public!

Xu Ye naturally caught the deeper meaning in her words. He laughed out of anger, his icy gaze fixed on her. "Xu Ruowei, are you threatening me?"

"Have you ever considered the consequences of offending the Xu family? Are the Xu and Wu families... really capable of bearing them?"

Xu Ruowei's heart skipped a beat, her hands and feet instantly turning ice-cold.

That's right, if the matter blew up, the only outcome awaiting Xu Ye was indeed expulsion, but so what?

Xu Ye would still be the young master of the Xu family and the future... sole heir of the Xu family!

To offend the young master of the Xu family to this extent?

The consequences were simply beyond what her family could ever bear.

"Xu Ye, I've already lowered my pride and apologized to you. What else do you want from me then~"

She ground her teeth in frustration, but feeling helpless, she had to lower her voice and plead softly.

There was no helping it. The reason she had proactively sought Xu Ye out today, aside from genuinely wanting to return to the Xu family, was another far more important reason.

The welcome party after military training!

That required funding.

Moreover, she had already boasted wildly that she would cover all the expenses herself.

The crucial point was that, to maintain her current persona, she had casually claimed she would invite top-tier superstar celebrities, driving her initial budget up to a staggering twenty million and more!

How on earth could she possibly afford that?

Yet, early this morning, the school leadership had come to ask her whether there were any issues with the funding for the welcome party.

She had naturally claimed there were none.

But now, having fallen out with Xu Ye to this extent...

If she didn't find a way out of this, her entire persona would be completely ruined!
