CHAPTER 187: 186: DOMINEERING (CHAPTER 5) REQUESTING MONTHLY TICKETS

When Ji Hong saw Ye Ling being called away, she felt smug, so when she saw Ye Ling return with a bad expression, she felt even more pleased. Ji Zhongjun was her second uncle, and even though he was a distant relative, he was on her side. With this love letter sent forward, plus Ji Hong speaking about how Ye Ling was always hanging out with Zhao Guodong and Zhang Linong, often bullying other classmates, and with Zhang Zhenlian testifying on the side, how could he not believe it?

When she saw Ye Ling walking towards her, Ji Hong never thought Ye Ling would dare to make a move. It wasn’t until the two slaps landed that Ji Hong realized she had underestimated Ye Ling. Her resistance was useless, and she was kicked back into her chair.

Ji Hong was both ashamed and angry, clutching her stomach in pain, she cried and cursed, "Ye Ling, you’re brave. Today’s matter isn’t over between us."

"Not over, is it? Then it’s not over. Anyway, I’ve already hit you, so it won’t hurt to hit you a few more times." Ye Ling was also filled with anger. Everyone seemed to want to bully her a bit, treating her like a pushover.

She shoved Zhao Guodong who was next to her aside and charged at Ji Hong, swinging her slaps. Ye Ling was truly furious, and now she didn’t care about anything, attacking like a madwoman. Ji Hong was so scared that she screamed, protecting her face. The class finally erupted; some ran out to find a teacher, while others tried to break up the fight, only to be glared back by Zhao Guodong.

"Go, go, this is none of your business." Zhao Guodong shouted.

With his arms crossed in front of his chest, he didn’t let anyone near to break it up.

The group that usually hung around Ji Hong, including Zhou Haiying, didn’t dare to make a move. Wang Xiaohong spoke up, "Zhao Guodong, let’s talk about this calmly. Ye Ling is going to get punished for hitting people like this. You should stop her for her own good."

"Why are you meddling everywhere? Move aside." Zhao Guodong glared, and Wang Xiaohong didn’t dare to speak again.

Si Daochen was ready to just watch, "How is this any different from street thugs?"

"Who are you calling a thug, pretty boy?" Zhao Guodong walked over in a few big strides, yanked Si Daochen by the collar, "Don’t think I won’t touch you because I’m scared; try saying one more word."

"Zhao Guodong, don’t go too far." In front of the whole class, Si Daochen was indeed afraid of Zhao Guodong, but he couldn’t not speak for the sake of his dignity.

Zhang Zhenlian also approached, "Zhao Guodong, let go, let’s talk this through."

"Get lost." Zhao Guodong cursed, "Just seeing you makes me angry. You liking pretty boys is your problem. Every time I come out, you stop me. Do you believe I won’t hit you?"

Zhang Zhenlian’s eyes reddened, "Zhao Guodong, I know the people from your courtyard aren’t to be messed with, but we’re all classmates. I just want everyone to get along, how can you say such things?"

"Zhao Guodong, today you must apologize." Si Daochen couldn’t hold back any longer and swung a punch at Zhao Guodong.

The seventeen-year-old Si Daochen, usually gentle, was forced to make a move today, showing how serious the situation was. As the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when cornered. Unfortunately, his punch was soft and weak, not comparable to Zhao Guodong’s strength. Zhao Guodong had long disliked him; if it weren’t for Ye Ling telling him not to bother with Si Daochen, Zhao Guodong would have acted long ago. Today, Si Daochen made the first move; Zhao Guodong couldn’t not retaliate. His punch was like iron, and with one blow, Si Daochen’s face turned bruised and swollen.

Originally, it was only Ye Ling and Ji Hong fighting, but now Zhao Guodong also started fighting. Zhang Zhenlian tried to mediate but was pushed aside. Wang Ping directly joined in to hit Si Daochen, while Zhang Linong just sat there, half-smiling, without saying a word.

Wan Li looked on, unable to bear it, "Zhang Linong, go and persuade them. The class teacher will be here soon."

Shao Guangli tried to hold Wan Li back but couldn’t, only watching her plead with Zhang Linong.

Zhang Linong smiled faintly, "It’s okay."

But Wan Li didn’t know what to do at those words.

Thankfully, Ji Zhongjun finally got the message and rushed over. Seeing the classroom in chaos and desks and chairs overturning, the veins on his forehead bulged, "Stop, all of you stop."

But no one listened to her. Only Ji Hong heard the voice and cried for help, "Second Uncle, Second Uncle."

A call for the second uncle brought a moment of silence to the class. Ye Ling’s hand stopped as well. Although she was the one fighting, her hair was a mess. She turned her head to look at Ji Zhongjun at the door. So he was Ji Hong’s second uncle, no wonder he helped Ji Hong distort the truth.

It was Zhang Linong who pulled Zhao Guodong back, "Enough."

He gestured toward the door, and only then did Zhao Guodong release Si Daochen.

Zhang Zhenlian had already run over in tears, seeing the swelling and blood on Si Daochen’s face, she wanted to support him but understood that she couldn’t do anything in front of so many classmates. Fortunately, Si Daochen’s usual friends came over to help him up.

"Get the classroom straightened up, you few, come with me." When Ji Zhongjun heard his niece call him, he felt a bit guilty when he met Ye Ling’s gaze, and left the classroom after saying his piece.

Ji Hong was helped out of the classroom by Zhou Haiying. As she passed Ye Ling, Ji Hong glared fiercely at her. This matter couldn’t rest like this; she had never been so humiliated in her life.

Si Daochen followed closely behind, supported by the male classmates, followed by Zhao Guodong and Ye Ling. Naturally, Zhang Linong and Wang Ping weren’t left out.

In the office, Ji Zhongjun was furious, slamming the desk, "Nonsense, nonsense! Do you know you’re breaking the rules by behaving like this? What do you think school is? It’s not society out there. Look at the mess you’ve made of the classroom. Now the whole school knows what you’ve done. Explain, what exactly happened?"

"Teacher, as soon as Ye Ling returned to class, she came and hit me. Zhao Guodong helped her, and Si Daochen tried to persuade them, but then Zhao Guodong hit Si Daochen. They’re really bullying people. They usually bully classmates in class, see how they’ve beaten us now. If the school doesn’t punish them, who knows what they’ll do in the future." Ji Hong cried as she spoke, covering her face.

Seeing her swollen face, Ji Zhongjun looked at Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, I’ve talked to you before, and now this? What’s going on? Are you dissatisfied in your heart?"

"Teacher, this is a school. What do you mean, dissatisfied? You’re the teacher, a role model, supposed to earn students’ respect, not demand their submission. Is there a difference between that and the mob?" Now that she was sure of the relationship between Ji Zhongjun and Ji Hong, Ye Ling was even less willing to give Ji Zhongjun any face.

Ji Zhongjun was so angry he slammed the desk again, "What kind of attitude is that? How are you speaking to a teacher? Is this your family upbringing? This matter cannot end like this. Parents will be notified, and it will be reported to the whole school. A major demerit will be recorded." (To be continued.
