Chapter 178 - Not Just Strong-Willed (1/2)

Immediately following this, the door to the office opened, and two middle-aged people—a man and a woman—entered the room. The man was in a trim suit and looked like a businessman, while the middle-aged woman was bloated and obese, in a luxurious long dress and bearing a haughty expression.

“This is the little b*tch who injured my son!” the middle-aged woman said while pointing a finger straight at Lu Shanshan. “Hubby, you need to get the school to expel this b*tch!”

“Miss Liu, I’m Lu Benwei’s father, Lu Zhengyu!” the middle-aged man stepped forward to say. “My son has been heavily injured at your school, and the school needs to make amends to my son for this incident, or our family will not let this incident rest. Furthermore, you should know that my son is an Awakened who has awakened an ability to do magic, so he is now under the wing of the Agency of Special Affairs. If you don’t deal with this matter, we will get the relevant departments to handle it!”

“Parents of Lu Benwei, please calm yourselves down first. I think Shanshan is still a child, and she did not mean to hurt your son!”

The teacher moved forward, putting herself between them and Lu Shanshan.

This instantly changed Lu Xuan’s opinion of her. This teacher had seemed to be teaching Lu Shanshan to accept compromises, but in the critical moment, her soul as a teacher seemed to burst out in full display.

She acted even though Lu Shanshan was much stronger than her and did not need her protection.

“She did not mean it? Are you going to let it go just because this little b*tch says it wasn’t intentional? I’m going to make her pay. I want this little b*tch expelled!”

The middle-aged woman lost her temper at once and began hurling abuses.

“I’m going to teach her a proper lesson today on behalf of her parents!”

However, before she could say anything even more insulting, a large palm came swinging towards her.

The middle-aged woman was slapped so hard that she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

At this moment, everyone realized that Lu Xuan had hit her.

“Teach her a lesson on our behalf? Who the hell are you?” Lu Xuan sneered coldly.

If this was his past life, it was something that would never have happened. A regular rich merchant would never dare to make a ruckus about teaching a highly cultivated Cultivator a lesson.

That was simply suicidal.

It was because, during that time, everyone knew how terrifying these Cultivators were, and would never dare to provoke them.

However, in the present day, the changes in the world were only just beginning, so the logic of many people was still the same as how it was in the past. They naturally believed that money and authority made one powerful.

If this incident happened a few years later, the teacher, Miss Liu, would be more worried about the student Lu Benwei and not Lu Shanshan.

“You dare hit me? Lu Zhengyu, did you see that? He dared to hit me! Hurry up and call the cops, I want him locked away for a long time!”

The woman was stunned and could not react at all, turning to scream at the man like a fishwife.

The man was about to lash out in anger, but when he had a close look at Lu Xuan’s face, he suddenly began trembling with fear, and his legs almost gave out under him.

“Lu… Mr. Lu!”

Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow, asking, “You recognize me?”

He was slightly surprised because he had no impression of ever meeting this Lu Zhengyu before.

“I only caught a glimpse of you once at a banquet in a mountain villa, Mister Lu, sir!” Lu Zhengyu hurriedly explained. “I never expected to meet you here, Mister Lu. I’ve made a terrible mistake, sir!”

Lu Xuan knew which mountain villa banquet he was talking about right away, and it was not difficult to guess because he had only ever attended one such banquet.

There were too many people there at the time, all of whom were bosses of their own companies in Min Province.

This Lu Zhengyu was probably standing in a corner somewhere, basically going unnoticed by Lu Xuan.

And while Lu Xuan paid no attention to Lu Zhengyu, Lu Zhengyu had completely committed Lu Xuan to memory. It was no exaggeration to say that on that night, his views on life, values, and the world were utterly subverted.

He had only found out at that time that aside from the world of merchants and politicians, there was actually also a world of Cultivators.
