439 Back to School

“I know you’re going to persuade me to call the police. But it’s useless. I’ve thought about it countless times and gave up the idea. When I couldn’t sleep at night, I went online to look up that Zhou Hao’s family background. Ordinary people who go against his family don’t have a good ending,” his wife said in despair.

“Could it be that he doesn’t intend to leave us a way out?” Bao Xu said with a bitter expression.

“There is — we just need to listen to him.” His wife smiled, but there was a hint of desperation in her smile.

When Bao Xu heard his wife’s reply, he covered his face in pain.

If they wanted to live and ensure the safety of their family, they could only continue to hurt that innocent President Chu.

The next morning, Chu Ning resumed her school routine.

Even though whether or not to go to school was entirely up to her now.

Three days wasn’t a long time, but the atmosphere at Jingyuan High School had quietly changed.

The second-year students were getting ever closer to their final exams, while the third-year students were about to face the most important exam in their lives.

That month would be their final sprint, and the results they achieved would determine the quality of their future university.

The better one’s results, the more choices one had.

Chu Ning planned to go to Lin Hao’s office before class. Ever since her identity was known by the teachers in the school, Lin Hao had never taken the initiative to look for her.

“Mr. Lin, you shouldn’t have had any trouble these few days, right? Why are you smoking so frequently?” The moment Chu Ning opened the door to Lin Hao’s office, she was greeted by the strong stench of smoke.

Lin Hao was sitting on a chair, puffing away. There was still some time before class.

After hearing Chu Ning’s words, he could only put out the cigarette in his hand with an embarrassed expression.

As Chu Ning’s form teacher and having his student be the school’s director, his days in school were extremely comfortable.

“It’s a habit, and it’s hard to quit. Are you done with your affairs?” Lin Hao asked with a smile.

“Of course. Otherwise, would I go back to school?” Chu Ning sat on the sofa without any hesitation. Although she was no longer merely a student in the school, her relationship with Lin Hao was still the same as before.

“The new transfer in our class, Yu Yan, has already integrated into the group. I was originally worried that she would cause more problems,” Lin Hao lamented.

In his class, there were many students with strong backgrounds.

“Yu Yan’s father has a very powerful background. During a meeting, the principal specifically emphasized to me the need to give her special treatment,” Lin Hao continued.

“I’ll keep an eye on this.” Chu Ning nodded.

“Of course you have to. After all, your status is different now, so you’ll look at the problem from a different perspective. Jingyuan High School can only continue to create value if it’s stabilized,” Lin Hao said with a smile.

“The final exam is coming up. Do you still have the confidence to get first place? I heard that Bai Yu has been studying hard ever since the national physics competition ended previously.” Although the school hadn’t asked him to keep an eye on Chu Ning’s learning progress, Lin Hao still wanted her to keep it up.

Of course, this was also beneficial for Jingyuan High School’s image. The school director was a current student and the top student no less. This was more useful than any advertising.

“I do have confidence, so I’m back to study hard. My time is very precious now, but I’m still willing to spend more than half of it to maintain my grades. Doesn’t this show my determination?” Chu Ning spread out her hands and said indifferently.

“That’ll be best.” Lin Hao nodded in satisfaction.

“Mr. Lin, if you have any difficulties or face any troubles, feel free to let me know. I’ll be going back to the classroom.” Chu Ning stood up. Seeing Lin Hao’s complacent expression, she knew that nothing major had happened in school recently.

“Alright, go back to class.” Lin Hao nodded.

After Chu Ning left the office, Lin Hao’s lips curved upwards again.

As long as Chu Ning remained a shareholder of Jingyuan High School, his status in the school would rise steadily.

The principal was very particular about his tone when he spoke to him.

Ye Ting was just as happy as he was.

Ye Ting had also received the news of Chu Jinng’s death, but she didn’t take it to heart.

She couldn’t wait for the Chu family to be as chaotic as possible.

“Chu Ning, you’re finally back?” Chu Ning’s deskmate, Xiaomi, was surprised to see her walking leisurely into the classroom.
