Chapter 291 - 291 291 The Principal's Call

291: Chapter 291: The Principal’s Call 291: Chapter 291: The Principal’s Call Luo Shuangshuang had always despised Jiang Fen from the bottom of her heart.

Only in Luo Ning’s presence did Jiang Fen show a veneer of gentleness and virtue.

She didn’t like this mother at all; whenever something happened, she’d act like a shrew, completely disregarding her image.

Hearing Luo Shuangshuang’s impatient words, Jiang Fen finally stopped scolding and her tone softened, as she approached Luo Shuangshuang, “Mom is doing all this for you.”

“That little bitch Gu Zhiqi hurt your hand.

If it weren’t for Dr.

Ling being at the Jiang City Central Hospital by chance, your hand would have been ruined.” As she spoke, Jiang Fen felt a wave of fright, “Your hand is meant for playing the piano; it mustn’t be damaged because of that little bitch.”

Luo Shuangshuang, listening to Jiang Fen’s words, had a fleeting, venomous look in her eyes.

This grudge, she would surely avenge sooner or later.

The doctor who treated her last night was from Sea City.

Dr.

Ling was from the Sea City Ling Family, well-informed about the Gu Family, and happened to know Gu Zhiqi as well.

Upon learning that Gu Zhiqi had injured her hand, he shared a number of upsetting things Gu Zhiqi had done previously.

And from Dr.

Ling, Luo Shuangshuang had also found out that Gu Zhiqi had indeed been kicked out of the Gu Family.

Dr.

Ling was very certain in his words, saying Gu Zhiqi had been taken away to the countryside.

As for why Gu Zhiqi appeared at the Luo Family alongside Gu Huaijin, Luo Shuangshuang thought about it all night and finally came up with a possibility.

It seemed that Gu Zhiqi had sneakily run back from the countryside on her own and then shamelessly followed Gu Huaijin to Jiang City.

If things had gone as expected, Gu Zhiqi would have already been sent back to the countryside by Gu Huaijin.

Luo Shuangshuang had her own plans in mind, but outwardly she said to Jiang Fen, “Control yourself a bit.

She once lived with the Gu Family.

Don’t bring up Gu Zhiqi in front of Gu Huaijin.

Also, don’t bother with my hand injury anymore.”

This vengeance, she would personally seek in due time.

“Got it, got it, Mom’s not stupid.

I won’t mention it in front of Gu Huaijin,” replied Jiang Fen.

Luo Shuangshuang, hearing Jiang Fen’s reply, still didn’t look too pleased, “Just now I saw Aunt Chen making medicine.

Luo Fenghe might not be dead yet.

Find a way to inquire about her condition.”

“What?!” exclaimed Jiang Fen.

Luo Shuangshuang furrowed her brows and glanced at Jiang Fen with barely concealed disdain, “Can’t you stop being so melodramatic?”

The contempt in Luo Shuangshuang’s eyes was too obvious not to notice, and Jiang Fen naturally did, her face going slightly pale before she forced a smile, “Mom understands.

I’ll go check on Luo Fenghe’s room right away.”

“Wait,” Luo Shuangshuang called Jiang Fen to a halt, “Don’t go now.

Wait until Gu Huaijin goes downstairs, and Luo Fenghe is alone in the room—you go then.”

Jiang Fen immediately responded to the instruction.

**

Inside Luo Fenghe’s room, Gu Huaijin was standing on the balcony taking a call.

Because the incident had been sudden, he hadn’t managed to hand off several work matters in Sea City.

Yesterday, Gu Huaijin had already made several calls, and today he had made quite a few as well.

He had just about finished arranging work-related issues.

No sooner had he hung up the phone than another call came through.

Seeing the caller ID, Gu Huaijin massaged his brow before answering.

“Principal Gu.”

The caller was none other than Principal Gu Chongming from Sea City No.1 Middle School.

“Good day, Mr.

Gu,” Gu Huaijin spoke up, and Gu Chongming also greeted him over the phone.

“Good day,” Gu replied.

“Mr.

Gu, it’s like this: The school started two days ago, but I’ve heard that your three younger siblings haven’t come to school, so I wanted to ask if something has happened at home?”
