Unexpected Second Chance at Love [5]

CHAPTER 918: Removed From The School

Ji Jingxu walked behind Mr. Wei through the school corridors as the two made their way to the principal's office. He wanted to ask why he was being called but decided to wait.

He knows that he will find out when he gets there.

Mr. Wei stops in front of the principal's office and turns around to face the boy.

"Ji Jingxu, I know you are a smart boy. You are one of the few students with potential, but you should know what to do from where you stand."

Hearing the staff member's words, Ji Jingxu glanced at him without moving his head. He had always thought all teachers should help students, but he realized it didn't work that way.

Some teachers will help, but only to a certain extent, while others will even look down upon students.

Mr. Wei was a good teacher, but he was easily bribed.

However, not wanting to pick a fight with an adult, he nods his head.

"I will remember your words, Mr. Wei."

Mr. Wei was baffled by Ji Jingxu's behavior. In times like this, he (Ji Jingxu) should bow, not nod.

He wanted to hit the boy on the head for bad manners, but knowing that the school director and principal would hear, he inhaled a deep breath.

Once he calmed down, he walked away, but the moment he briefly passed Ji Jingxu, he sneered a whisper.

"A brat like you will only bring shame to the Ji family."

Ji Jingxu seemed unfazed by the words, but his fingers curled, shifting his hands into tight fists. He had heard these words since he was adopted into the Ji family.

No matter how much time passed or where he went, it was always the same.

He looks at the closed door in front of him and sighs.

"I wouldn't be surprised if the people inside think the same."

He mutters under his breath and opens the door.

"Ah, Ji Jingxu, you're here."

Upon entering the room, he was greeted by the school director, Mr. Xiao. The elderly man stood up from his seat and smiled at the boy.

"Come. Have a seat."

Ji Jingxu stares at the elderly man and then at the middle-aged principal, Mr. Li. He gestures a polite bow to the two men and then walks over to a chair. However, he sees that there are three more people in the room.

It was none other than Deng Xian and his parents.

The schoolmate wore an arm cast from their fight and glared at Ji Jingxu. Like him, his parents were no different, with eyes staring with daggers at the boy who had broken their son's arm.

Ji Jingxu was reluctant, but having been taught by his grandfather, he gestured another polite bow to Deng Xian's parents. He then sits and does his best to ignore the malicious glares.

Madam Deng sized up the boy from head to toe. She couldn't believe someone born from a lower background dared to lay a hand on her son. Even she had not hit her son.

Being reminded of what happened to her son, her blood began to boil, but she snorted a hmmf and looked at the elderly man.

"Mr. Xiao, we have been waiting long enough. Can you tell us how you plan to deal with this?"

Mr. Xiao smiles at the woman. He doesn't speak immediately but looks at the door like he is waiting for another person.

However, seeing no one walk in, he sighs and looks back at the woman.
