Chapter 670 - VIP (2/2)
Xiao Luo smiled at them and patted them both on their shoulders. He reflected on what had happened. Previously, he had not established a clear relationship with Su Li, but now that they were a real married couple, the memory of how Lyon had taken advantage of her made him lose control of himself.
“Xiao Luo!”
An angry voice came from behind him.
Xiao Luo turned around and saw Zhong Meili walking over. He bowed to her and greeted her with respect. “Ms. Zhong.”
“I’m afraid that I cannot be your teacher anymore.”
Zhong Meili’s ever-present smile was absent as she chided Xiao Luo coldly. “There’s no place for a villain like you to be among my students. You have assaulted someone in public in such a cruel manner, and your actions make my blood boil!”
“Ms. Zhong…”
Both Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai tried to calm her down, urging her not to scold Xiao Luo so harshly.
“What? Should I be worried that he’ll beat me into a pulp too?”
Zhong Meili yelled as she felt very disappointed in Xiao Luo. She had high expectations of him and had hoped to see him make something of himself in life. She wanted him to make a useful contribution to the country, and to be a leader in the service of the people. Instead, what had he become? He was beating people up at the gate of the University of Washington just because he practiced kung fu. This incident was not a trivial one, for he had broken someone’s arms and turned him into a eunuch.
Such violence was inhumane!
Xiao Luo smiled sadly and said, “You’re my teacher. I would never harm you.”
Zhong Meili could see the sincerity in his eyes, and she softened her tone. She continued, “Xiao Luo, you have been a great disappointment for me today. I know you have left school, but you’re still that passionate student who could escalate that debate on monetary theories to new heights. What you have done today has completely squashed my understanding of you. Regardless of how outstanding you are, I can only feel sorry that you have chosen such a path to ruin!”
A path to ruin?
Xiao Luo shook his head and heaved a long sigh.
“Ms. Zhong, please don’t blame Xiao Luo totally on this matter. There must be a reason behind it,” said Zhu Xiaofei, trying to defend Xiao Luo.
“One should never opt for violence, even if one is right. Why can’t Xiao Luo inform the police and let them handle the matter if there was a dispute or conflict?” Zhong Meili asked.
Her words had silenced both Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai. They could not find a better argument to defend Xiao Luo.
At that moment, Wang Ling walked over with Huang Ruoran.
Huang Ruoran had been through a lot in that short period. First, it was Ian’s death, and then there was Xiao Luo’s cruelty. She could not exactly describe how she felt, but it was not something good. She stared at Xiao Luo silently, trying to find anything familiar from that man she used to know.
“Ms. Zhong, I’m sorry that I’ve disappointed you!”
Xiao Luo bowed to Zhong Meili and did not complain about her rebuke, and knew that her admonishments were for his good. But only Xiao Luo was aware of the circumstances and understood that they were worlds apart. Other than Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai, he did not expect to reunite with any of them again. It was pure coincidence that they had met on that trip to the Mei nation.
He did not explain further and turned around to leave after bowing to Zhong Meili.
“Brother Luo!”
Both Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai caught up with him and stopped him. Although they knew they could not do much for him, they did not wish to bid farewell to Xiao Luo in that manner.
“Xiaofei, Ding Kai, I am glad to have run into you guys here. Focus on your studies. After you guys have graduated, if you have nowhere to go, come look for me in Xiahai,” Xiao Luo said. He still felt close to his ex-roommates. He wanted to provide them with opportunities and as much help as he could.
“Brother Luo!”They hugged Xiao Luo for a while as there was no need for men to speak much. They conveyed everything they wanted to express in the hug.Looking at their brotherly relationship, Zhong Meili suddenly felt guilty and regretted her strong words. Perhaps she might have been too harsh on Xiao Luo and should’ve put herself in his shoes.At that moment, a convoy of black cars headed toward the gate from afar with traffic police and the FBI leading the way. It looked like some VIPs were heading their way.
