Chapter 14: Gossip Never Goes Out of Style
As Qiao Yue walked, she vaguely heard the students' comments about her. It was mostly about her appearance. It seemed that her identity as the fifth young master of the Qiao family had not been publicized yet.
"Is he a student here? He's so handsome!"
"I don't think so. He's so good-looking. If he was from our school, he would have been found out long ago."
"With his face, he can even be a celebrity. No, he's more handsome than many celebrities."
"Eh! Who do you think is more handsome, him or our school hunk Qiao Yu?"
"Qiao Yu, I guess! I can love his gentle and refined temperament for an entire year. "
"I still think this one is more handsome! A handsome bad boy, my cup of tea!"
Although the girls weren't loud, Qiao Yue hearing was excellent from years of practicing martial arts and she heard every word. When she finally heard a girl say that she liked her more, Qiao Yue turned her head and flashed the girl a handsome smile. freewebnov(e)l
"Argh! I'm dead! Did he smile at me just now?"
"I saw that too!"
As Qiao Yue walked further away, she could no longer hear the girls' conversation.
But she still heard people talk about her along the way. When she arrived at the school building, the bell rang. Qiao Jing's assistant, whom she had met last night, ran up to her.
"Master Yue, Master Jing has asked me to help you with the admission procedures."
Due to the special circumstances of Qiao Yue's transfer, when the assistant called the school last night and promised a large donation, the principal said that he needed to see Qiao Yue before making a decision.
As Qiao Yue followed Qiao Jing's assistant to the principal's office, the assistant briefly explained the situation to her. The briefing stopped only when they arrived at the principal's office.
The assistant's eyes were filled with worry when he saw the shut door.
He came to school early in the morning and worked hard the whole morning, but the principal told him that he wanted to talk to Qiao Yue alone. What was he going to talk about? About how Qiao Yue used to fight?
The assistant sighed as he watched Qiao Yue walk in. If he didn't handle this well, he would be very worried about his year-end bonus!
Meanwhile in the principal's office, the principal looked at Qiao Yue with inquisitive eyes.
"You know Deputy Mayor Wang?"
Hearing the principal's question, Qiao Yue tried to recall and replied that she didn't.
The principal frowned. The admission requirements for students at Harvey Academy were extremely tough, especially for transfer students like Qiao Yue. Not only did they have to come from good families, but they must also show their value. That was why the principal didn't want to accept Qiao Yue after receiving her information yesterday. He only agreed to meet with Qiao Yue because of the Qiao family and their huge donation.
To his surprise, an hour after he ended the call with Qiao Jing's assistant, he received a call from Deputy Mayor Wang, who recommended Qiao Yue's admission to the academy.
The principal was very curious about Qiao Yue; what was so special about this child that the Qiao family and Deputy Mayor Wang took so much trouble to send him here.
The principal stared at Qiao Yue for a long time, and spoke only when he saw Qiao Yue frown, "Qiao Yue, I've approved your application to attend Harvey Academy, first year, class three. I hope you'll study hard here."
The principal emphasized the words "study hard." He had probably never accepted a student like Qiao Yue before.
"Thank you, principal." Qiao Yue thanked him and left the principal's office after getting a nod from the principal.
The assistant had been waiting anxiously outside the office. When he saw Qiao Yue come out, he quickly went up and asked, "How is it? What did he ask you?"
"Nothing much. The principal said that he has approved my application and I should study hard."
"That's all?" The assistant's mouth was so wide open that one could stuff a duck egg in it.
"What else?" Qiao Yue was confused by the assistant's question. What else would the principal do? Ask her to do a song and dance?
The assistant was puzzled by her response. He didn't understand. If Qiao Yue was admitted so easily, why didn't the principal tell him last night? He worried for so long.
After the matter was settled, Qiao Yue and the assistant prepared to leave.
As soon as they turned a corner on the second floor, they were surrounded by a group of people. It was a group of seven led by Qiao Xin.
The assistant saw that the visitors seemed unfriendly and quickly stepped forward to defend Qiao Yue. "Seventh young miss, this is a school. What do you want to do?"
Qiao Xin's eyes burned with anger when she heard her assistant call her that. "What 'seventh young miss'? There are only six children in the Qiao family. You can't even count. How are you my brother's assistant?"
The assistant had never liked this arrogant and domineering young lady of the Qiao family, so he continued to snide, "Master Yue is the fifth young master, so you are naturally the seventh young miss. Even if you don't admit it, the Qiao family does."
"You! How dare you talk back to me? When we get home, I'll ask my brother to fire you. It doesn't matter how long you've work for him. As long as first aunt says the word, my brother will fire you! He's going to listen to his mother, right?"
The assistant criticized in his heart, "He never does."
