Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082: She Still Has Me
He wrapped his arm around He Ziyi, his eyes seemingly glazed with a layer of shattered ice, his thin lips slightly curving in a mocking arc.
"Even if one day the He Family falls, she still has me." Pei Yuanchen chuckled softly, "It’s better for everyone to mind their own business first."
Ziyi nodded, "Exactly!"
Pei Yuanchen twitched the corner of his mouth.
He barely held it together, pulling her closer into his embrace, pretending to take out his phone to make a call.
"Hello, is this Principal Sun? There might be a few students at your school with some behavioral issues..."
"I’m sorry!"
Before Pei Yuanchen finished speaking, a girl with a headband stood up, her face pale, looking at He Ziyi, "I’m sorry, He Ziyi, I shouldn’t have spread rumors and slandered you, please forgive me this time."
Pei Yuanchen smiled, putting down his phone, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Oh, sincere?"
"Really, really!" She was breaking out in a cold sweat, "I’m sorry, I really know I was wrong."
Pei Yuanchen glanced indifferently at the short-haired girl who had just spoken insolently, curling his lips, "But your companion doesn’t seem to think she was wrong."
Upon hearing this, the headband girl frantically tugged at the short-haired girl, whispering urgently, "Apologize quickly! It’s fine if you want to ruin yourself, but I don’t want to be unable to graduate!"
The short-haired girl gritted her teeth and said, "I don’t believe the principal will expel us just because of a word from him!"
The other two echoed, "Yes!"
The headband girl, at a loss, looked to Pei Yuanchen for help, "I can’t control them, but I sincerely apologize to He Ziyi."
"Very good." Pei Yuanchen laughed ambiguously, looking at the others, "Indeed, I won’t have you expelled, that would be too easy for you."
After saying that, he turned to He Ziyi and said, "Let’s go, what do you want to eat?"
"Seafood!" Her eyes lit up.
Pei Yuanchen smiled again, then finally took her away.
Watching Pei Yuanchen and He Ziyi’s departing backs, the headband girl said coldly, "If I get implicated by you, I won’t let it go!"
With that, she walked away without looking back.
Although the others tried to stay strong, they couldn’t hide the fear in their eyes.
"...Isn’t he just a bodyguard? What can he do to us?" one suddenly said.
"But he seemed to..." The round-faced girl recalled Pei Yuanchen’s cold and contemptuous look, and couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
But at this point, they could only comfort themselves like this.
After such an incident, they lost their appetite, stood up, and prepared to pay and leave.
But when they saw the bill, they immediately screamed, "Thirty thousand? How is that possible?"
"Mental distress fee... Where’s your boss? Is this extortion?" The round-faced girl slammed the bill harshly on the table.
The waiter looked behind him.
From behind the counter, a man emerged; his handsome face and a stud in his right ear added a hint of roguishness.
"I’m the boss, is there a problem?" he said with a lazy smile.
They were taken aback by his appearance, but the short-haired girl quickly came to her senses, "What do you mean by this? Trying to extort us?"
"You guys were gossiping here, polluting my nice establishment." The man said with an amused look, "Charging you a thirty-thousand mental distress fee isn’t too much, is it?"
"You..." Their faces flushed with anger.
"What, not planning to pay?" The man suddenly let out a cold laugh, his face showing an expression of menace.
