Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Qi Yu looked at Ling Rui with anticipation in her eyes.

Ling Rui glanced at Qi Yu but did not have any reaction. He just quietly sat down on a seat not far away.

Qi Yu seemed to be a little disappointed and quietly returned to his seat.

After Ling Rui’s interlude, Ms. Ling once again faced Shen You with a domineering stance.

Perhaps it was because of the incident with Ling Rui that Ms.Ling once again regained her prestige.

Shen You rubbed her nose and looked in the direction of Qi Yu.

Qi Yu was spiritless. Obviously, the conversation between the two of them had once again hurt his feeling.

Ling Rui looked in the direction where Shen You was looking.

He looked at Qi Yu’s somewhat familiar face and thought about it seriously, but he could not remember who he was.

Just as everything seemed to be back to square one, Huo Xiao suddenly stood up.

He glanced in the direction of Shen You and then said to the director of studies. “Director, may I ask what is the essence of running our school?”

The director was stunned by the question. He looked at Huo Xiao and blinked for a long time, but could not say anything.

Huo Xiao turned to Ms. Ling and said, “Ms. Ling, on behalf of our class, I question your ability to educate and manage us.”

Ms. Ling did not expect Huo Xiao to suddenly speak up. Just as she was about to say something, the director interrupted her.

“Huo Xiao, why are you so rude?” The director did not dare to be too strict with Huo Xiao, so he could only ask in a gentle tone.

Huo Xiao still looked at Ms. Ling. He was neither humbling himself nor showing disrespect to her. “Although you have a lot of achievements in the field of education in the country and abroad, we cannot agree with your own failure.”

“Me?” Ms. Ling raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not think there was anything wrong with her.

“Yes! Regarding your so-called elite education, the survival of the fittest, I express my doubts!” Huo Xiao looked at Ms. Ling, though his tone was not as aggressive as Shen You’s.

Ms. Ling sneered instead. “Huo Xiao, I thought that as the only son of the Huo family, you should have the consciousness to become an elite.”

“I didn’t expect you to hang out with these people all day long and you have even forgotten who you are!” Ms. Ling said in an interrogative tone.

Huo Xiao’s expression did not change. He only said, “Your so-called elite may just be a false title.”

“For a person who can abandon her own son, what elite are you talking about?” Huo Xiao’s words hit hard on Ms. Ling.

Qi Yu raised his head to look at Huo Xiao. His eyes were full of anticipation.

Huo Xiao did not look at Qi Yu, but only at Ms. Ling. “Now, Ms. Ling, is this the way you plan to teach us how to become an elite?”

Ms. Ling gritted her teeth and glared at Huo Xiao. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Huo Xiao looked at Ms. Ling coldly. “You abandoned your son because he was diagnosed with problems with his intelligence along with autism when he was three years old, didn’t you?”

Huo Xiao pointed out Ms. Ling’s past mercilessly.

Ling Rui stood up, wanting to speak up for Ms. Ling.

After all, this was a family matter of the Ling family. It was not good to be dragged out in public.

Huo Xiao looked at Ling Rui coldly and said, “If you don’t know about it, don’t say anything.”

Ling Rui was stunned by Huo Xiao’s attitude, and his intention to defend himself immediately faded.

Huo Xiao looked at Ms. Ling again. “In your eyes, as long as a person or thing has a slight flaw, it’s hopeless?”

Ms. Ling’s expression became even more unsightly. “What exactly are you trying to say?”

“Do you know why the principal wanted a transfer student to come in? Why did he go against the contract when you tried to stop him?” Huo Xiao said as he looked in Qi Yu’s direction.

Ms. Ling opened her mouth slightly. She wanted to say something but didn’t say it out loud.

“Do you think the principal would be so lame that he would want a student who might affect the school’s reputation just to deal with you?” Huo Xiao smiled.

“He even specially arranged this student to be in the elite class?” Huo Xiao’s voice was cold and hard, forcing Ms. Ling’s face to turn dark.

Shen You looked at Huo Xiao in surprise.

She had initially thought that the principal had agreed to Qi Yu’s admission because of her pleas. Was there another reason behind this?

“I wonder if Ms. Ling has paid attention to this year’s Booker Prize nomination. One of the authors named ‘Ling’ has been shortlisted,” Huo Xiao suddenly said something that was not relevant.

“It is said that Ling is a Chinese author. People think that his words are exquisite and touching, and have a strong sense of vicissitudes…” as Huo Xiao spoke, he turned in Qi Yu’s direction.

“Most people guessed that he should be a woman with rich life experience. However, no one could imagine that he is actually a young man below 20 years old,” Huo Xiao said as he walked towards Qi Yu.

“The reason why his works are touching is that all the emotions described in his works are real!” Huo Xiao stood in front of Qi Yu and asked softly, “Is that right?”
