The corners of Gong Mochen's lips twitched slightly. "It doesn't matter if the school is mine or not, it definitely won't be yours! And neither will Qin Sheng! Stay away from her!"
The volume of his voice was now audible to everyone in the room.
"Principal, do you dare not take my money?" Li Ang's cold eyes landed on the principal's face.
Gong Mochen turned to look at the principal. His eyes glared at him. "Do you dare to accept it?"
The principal was about to crumble to dust. He didn't realise how hot money could be... Dear, dear me!
The principle could not afford to offend either of these men. He looked at Li Ang and then turned to Gong Mochen, his legs shaking uncontrollably.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His life was at risk here!
"I, I..." the principle paused, his lips trembling so much that he could not speak. "Our school will not build a new library or laboratory for the time being! Thank you, Duke Li Ang, CEO Gong Mochen, for your good intentions."
How much did he mean what he'd just said? But he couldn't exactly take money... He'd be throwing his life away!
Li Ang whistled. "Ha, ha! He doesn't want it anymore... Shame! There's nothing more to play with. I'm leaving!"
Gong Mochen turned around and walked out of the principal's office after Li Ang. "Li Ang! If you dare to harass Qin Sheng again, don't blame me if I'm impolite to you!"
Li Ang turned around and looked at Gong Mochen. "How can you be impolite to me? I do what I want! Maybe one day when I'm happy, I'll even marry her!"
Without waiting for Gong Mochen to reply, Li Ang took out his own phone when it started to ring.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Li Ang was dumbfounded, listening to his mother. The heavens wouldn't play with him like that, right?
"Mom, wait a moment. I'll talk about it when I get back!" Li Ang strode down the stairs.
Li Ang just wanted to shout at the heavens. He'd tried to speak casually, so as to not give anything away to Gong Mochen.
Gong Mochen looked at Li Ang in surprise. He didn't know what was going on with the man's family, but then it had nothing to do with him he supposed.
Before leaving, he walked to Qin Sheng's classroom and looked at the girl through the glass window of the door for a long time.
***
At the gate of the Qin family's mansion, a rich woman was sitting in a luxury car. Sikong Jue was in the driver's seat in front of her. She was holding a cell phone elegantly.
However, all her elegance was shadowed by her son's anger.
"What? You're not coming over? Do you think that if you don't come over, I won't still be able to propose marriage? Do you not think I'll go in and propose marriage right now? With our family background, I believe that the Qin Family won't refuse!" Roland, Li Ang's mother, raised her thin and curved eyebrows. Her son actually said that he wouldn't be able to get along with Qin Sheng.
"Go in? Mom, where are you?" Li Ang asked nervously.
"I'm at the entrance of the Qin family's mansion. I'm not discussing this with you over the phone. Whether you come or not, today's marriage proposal will go ahead! You've already slept with the girl, yet you're still not responsible? Our family can't do such a wicked thing!" Roland said.
"What!" Li Ang instantly felt a headache coming. "Who told you that I slept with her?"
"Sikong Jue? Who Else?" Roland said.
Sikong jue was sitting in front of her. He gulped a heavy breath. He felt like he had to commit Seppuku to atone for his sins. How could he be sold so easily? Li Ang would think he'd betrayed him.
"Just you wait, I'll come now!" Li Ang stepped on the gas pedal. He had to get to the Qin mansion. His mother, who forced him to get married over and over again, would definitely run in to propose the marriage without him stopping her.
He looked up at the blue sky, wanting to cry, but no tears came. Mum was so meddlesome! This couldn't happen, could it?
He did not expect what he'd said to Gong Mochen to actually come true! He uttered those words again, to make sense of it all, "One day, when I'm happy, I'll marry her..." It turned out to be a prophecy!
In a flash of metal and sound, Li Ang's sports car roared as it arrived in front of the Qin family's mansion. He jumped out of the car and went straight to Sikong Jue.
Sikong jue looked at the man who was charging at him with a panicked expression. He was about to crawl into the ground to avoid the man's clutches, but he wasn't fast enough.
"Aunty, I'm only in this situation because of you. You have to protect me!"
"Protect you? Don't worry. Aunty's demeanour is great. There are plenty of ways to protect you!" Roland said.
"Sikong Jue!" Li Ang rushed over and grabbed Sikong Jue's collar.
"AUNTY!" Sikong Jue screamed.
Roland looked at her son sternly. "Let him go! I forced him to say it. Come at me if you dare! I'm not afraid of you. You think me a scoundrel, and you want me to be a pauper for the rest of my life! AHHHH!"
As she spoke, she burst into tears, as if she had been wronged for eight lifetimes.
Li Ang rolled his eyes and let go of Sikong Jue's collar. "Okay, mother, but can't you quit the act? You cry every time."
Roland immediately stopped crying. She elegantly took out a small mirror from her bag and touched up her makeup. She looked completely different to the woman who was crying hysterically just a second ago.
"It's a great trick, as long as it goes well that is. When I dealt with your father, I used this trick to make sure everything went my way! I like to get my own way, as you already know," said Roland, flicking her polished nails extravagantly.
Li Ang only wanted to ask, did God really have to give him a silly mother? Seriously, how did he end up with such a mother?
Sikong Jue took advantage of this opportunity to steal away from Li Ang. If he didn't run now, when could he?
Li Ang sat next to his mother. He could not force her to change her mind, but he could only try.
"Mother, you said that you would marry me to the Qin girl after I slept with her once. This is too rushed. Why don't I try to find a few more women that are more suitable for me?" Li Ang did not dare to speak the truth, that he hadn't actually slept with Qin Sheng. He was afraid that he would be laughed at by Sikong Jue. He also could not lose face as a man, not with his reputation. He could only go along with it.
"Bah! You want to pick a few more? You can't even touch them with your germophobia! It's not easy to meet a woman that you like. I don't care how many more you want to find. You have to give me a grandson. I'll stay at home with my daughter-in-law and grandson, while you lead the family. How perfect it will be!" Roland began to daydream even before she had seen her future daughter-in-law.
Li Ang felt a headache coming on again. What was wrong with her! Why did all this talk of grandchildren come out?
"How can you be thinking about a grandson so quickly? I don't agree. I still think it's too rushed. I'm not happy yet! I want to be happy before I marry her. Plus, that stupid girl dared to play me. I even have an intention to punish her!" Li Ang said angrily.
Thinking of Qin Sheng, her odious ways and how she'd played him, gave him all kinds of toothaches and made him want to punish her so badly!
Roland stopped her son and said, "Pfft, you don't have any experience, do you? Let me tell you, the more one-night stands you have, the easier it is for you to remain a bachelor. Tell me, she didn't take any birth control pills after you had sex, did she?"
Li Ang's head throbbed. "Mom! How would I know if she took any pills? I can't marry her just now! I just can't. I think I'll send you home!"
"Why not? I'm telling you sweet truths. Whether she's pregnant or not, you have to get engaged to her!" Roland said. "You HAVE to!"
"Why?" Li Ang asked. He did not understand what possessed his mother so.
"Is the photo still in your wallet? If it is, take it out," Roland ordered
A dark shadow flashed across Li Ang's eyes. "Mother, let me tell you... Do you know how detestable that girl is? She stole the photo from me! Do you really think I can marry such a girl?"
"She stole it? HAHAHA! Of course she stole it." Roland sighed contentedly. "Fate is really happening. It's predestined, let me tell you..."
