Chapter 1100: 17. Lu Family

Lu Lanxi arrived at the principal’s office and gently knocked on the door. The principal’s deep voice immediately came from inside, “Come in!”

Lu Lanxi pushed the door open and walked in, seeing the principal browsing messages on the computer. “Principal!”

The principal looked up and was stunned to see Lu Lanxi, “Classmate Lu, why are you here?” Hadn’t Old Jin handled the matter just now?

Lu Lanxi walked up to the principal, “Principal! Please help me with the leave of absence procedures.” The reason she initially chose to stay at Yuan Star was because there were many things to learn here; she hoped to become as excellent as her mother.

Ever since she came back from the Immortal Realm, she had been torn between staying at Yuan Star to continue her studies or going to the Immortal Realm to pursue her love. After today’s incident, she suddenly felt staying at Yuan Star was meaningless. So she made a decision to leave for the Immortal Realm with her parents. Regardless of whether Brother Yun Han accepted her or not, getting closer to him would certainly provide more opportunities.

“Are you dissatisfied with how the matter was handled?” the principal asked nervously. Old Jin was someone who handled things very reliably, and there shouldn’t have been any mistakes.

“Principal, you misunderstood! I just have some matters to deal with, so I want to take a break from school,” Lu Lanxi said. Although she hadn’t discussed the matter with her parents, she believed they would surely support her decision.

“Is that so! Then I’ll help you with it right now.” The principal immediately felt relieved. Although the Lu family was powerful, they weren’t unreasonable, but it was better not to offend such a family if possible.

Father Su caught up with Mother Su and Su Tiantian.

Su Tiantian turned her head, ignoring Father Su. In her heart, her father had always been omnipotent. But today, she was really disappointed in him. She and her mother were bullied by Lu Lanxi, yet her father not only didn’t help them seek justice but also wanted them to apologize to Lu Lanxi. How could she accept this?

“Old Su, who exactly is this Lu Lanxi?” Mother Su asked. Her husband’s attitude earlier had already indicated that Lu Lanxi’s background was not simple.

Father Su looked around and whispered, “The little princess of the Lu family, the top family in Jinchen.” When the teaching director told him Lu Lanxi’s identity, he was utterly shocked, but more than that, he was fearful.

“What?!” Mother Su’s face changed dramatically upon hearing this, and her legs instantly gave out, nearly collapsing to the ground. Her mother was best friends with Song Xiran’s mother, so she knew well the strength of the Song Family. Even such a powerful Song Family was annihilated by the Lu family overnight, so there was no need to mention them.

Su Tiantian showed an incredulous expression. She had heard of the Lu family, of course, but she really couldn’t accept that Lu Lanxi was a part of the Lu family.

She had known Lu Lanxi for almost a month, subtracting the half-month of military training, and had lived together for about a week. During this week, she would often use words to confront Lu Lanxi, but Lu Lanxi acted as if she hadn’t heard anything, never arguing back.

If it weren’t for Sun Ling and Mo Xiaoqi jointly attacking Lin Fenfang, Lu Lanxi probably wouldn’t have intervened. If Lu Lanxi truly was the little princess of the Lu family, wouldn’t she easily crush her?

Thinking of this, Su Tiantian was genuinely scared. Although she was arrogant usually and had entered Jinchen University largely because of her father’s influence, she wasn’t foolish. She understood who could be provoked and who couldn’t.

“What should we do then?” Mother Su asked anxiously. If the Lu family pursued this matter, not only Father Su’s current position but even Jinchen would be untenable.

“What else can be done?” Father Su sighed and looked at Su Tiantian, “Tiantian, you need to go apologize to Miss Lu now and must obtain her forgiveness.” Although Lu Lanxi hadn’t blamed him, he still felt uneasy.

“Dad, I want to drop out.” Su Tiantian said with a face full of fear. What good is an apology? As long as she shares a dormitory with Lu Lanxi, she’s always at risk. What if Lu Lanxi gets upset and vents her anger on her? She’s really scared now!

“Old Su, we should enroll Tiantian in another school,” Mother Su suggested. Tiantian and Lu Lanxi were in the same dormitory, there would surely be bullying, which might also implicate them.

Father Su thought for a moment and nodded, “I’ll call Old Yang and discuss it.” He had finally managed to get his daughter into Jinchen University, only to face such a situation.

Lu Lanxi left the principal’s office and headed towards the dormitory building.

Along the way, people kept pointing at her.

Seeing Lu Lanxi returning, Lin Fenfang immediately greeted her, “Lu Lanxi, who exactly are you?” Earlier, Father Su’s sudden change of attitude made her curious about Lu Lanxi’s identity. She had been friends with Lu Lanxi for over three years, never sensing any difference between them.

Lu Lanxi smiled, “Do you care who I am?”

Lin Fenfang shook her head, “No matter who you are, you’re my best friend; I’m just curious.” A friend of more than three years suddenly seemed like a bigshot; naturally, she’d be curious.

Nearby, Sun Ling and Mo Xiaoqi pretended to read books, but their ears were perked, eagerly waiting for Lu Lanxi to reveal her identity. The teaching director and Father Su earlier were so apprehensive about Lu Lanxi; clearly, her identity was extraordinary.

“I’m from the Lu family,” Lu Lanxi smiled. Anyway, she was about to leave, and whether they could meet again was uncertain, so telling her wasn’t a big deal.

“Of course, I know you’re from the Lu family,” Lin Fenfang said, puzzled. Lu Lanxi’s surname was Lu; naturally, she was from the Lu family.

“Have you heard of Jinchen’s three major families?” Lu Lanxi asked.

“Heard of them, aren’t they the Lu family, Yan Family, and wait, Lu family…” Lin Fenfang looked at Lu Lanxi incredulously, “You… you’re from the Lu family?” The Lu family is not only the top family in Jinchen but also the top family in Yan Country. Oh my God! Her friend whom she’s known for over three years is actually from the Lu family; this is truly shocking!

“Yes!” Lu Lanxi nodded with a smile.

Sun Ling and Mo Xiaoqi were also looking at Lu Lanxi with shocked expressions, not noticing they had dropped their books. Lu Lanxi was truly from the Lu family; how could this be? She was so low-key, never wore any brand names, even less than them, how could she possibly be from the Lu family?

But the attitudes of the teaching director and Father Su earlier have already explained everything. It’s a pity they chose the wrong side, mistaking a wild chicken for a phoenix, while overlooking the real phoenix.
