Chapter 134: Despicable!

Ye Luo did not sit down. Instead, she took her schoolbag from the desk compartment, packed her things, and prepared to leave.

Since her ancestor had already left, there was no point in her staying in the classroom alone.

Gong Lü stretched out his long legs, leaning back lazily as he watched her for a few seconds before smiling. "Luo Luo, you may be able to control yourself, but can you control others?"

He paused, his tone filled with hidden meaning, "Especially your ancestor."

If Gong Lü hadn't mentioned her ancestor, Ye Luo would have ignored him entirely. But because he brought her up—and clearly had an ulterior motive—Ye Luo stopped packing and looked at him, asking blankly, "What do you mean?"

Gong Lü only smiled.

Ye Luo did not wait for an answer and went back to packing her things.

Gong Lü watched her for another two seconds before standing up. He placed his hands on her desk, leaned in close to her ear, let out a low chuckle, and then parted his cool, thin lips: "You will answer my calls."

Ye Luo frowned instantly. Judging by this man's implication, was her ancestor going to help him?

Given how enthusiastically her ancestor had been trying to set them up over the past few days, he certainly would.

"Despicable." To think he would actually use her ancestor!

Gong Lü laughed: "They offered to help on their own; I didn't do anything." He truly hadn't done a thing, but those idiots were just far too helpful in this regard.

*They?*

Ye Luo didn't need to think twice to know that "they" included not just her ancestor, but also Yan Baba and the others.

"Where are they?" Ye Luo asked, finally inquiring about the whereabouts of Ye Wuqi and the others.

"At the internet cafe."

Ye Luo's brows furrowed.

She couldn't control Yan Baba and the others, but she couldn't let her ancestor continue like this. She had already achieved the top rank in the grade, so he had to keep his promise and study hard.

She had made him cry early this morning, and fearing she wouldn't be able to soothe him if she upset him again, she had held off on forcing him to study today.

But now that he had gone to an internet cafe, his studies would have to be put on the agenda tomorrow.

With that thought, Ye Luo finished packing her things into her bag. Without even glancing at Gong Lü again, she picked up her bag and left.

Seeing Ye Luo walk away with such cool, carefree grace, Gong Lü let out a low chuckle before turning to follow her.

He caught up in just three long strides.

Such was the advantage of having long legs.

Ye Luo was one meter seventy, which was by no means short, but seeing Gong Lü catch up so quickly, she felt a rare moment of frustration.

The last period of the afternoon for both Class 17 and Class 18 was physical education, so both classrooms were empty. Even as Ye Luo and Gong Lü walked past them together, there was no one around to see them.

Passing the front door of Class 17, they reached the stairwell.

They went down the stairs, walked along the campus path, and exited the school.

Seeing that the car waiting at the school gate was not the Mercedes-Benz, but a stretch Lincoln, Ye Luo paused for a moment before continuing forward and boarding the vehicle.

The interior of the stretch Lincoln was extremely luxurious.

As soon as Ye Luo ducked inside, she saw that it was empty and sat in a random seat.

When Gong Lü climbed in, he sat at the side table.

Seeing that both of them were on board, the bodyguard closed the door from the outside.

The car moved.

It was very steady.

Ye Luo could barely feel a bump.

Without even looking at Gong Lü, she took her phone out of her pocket to play with it.

Gong Lü watched her, let out another low chuckle, and then reached out to pick up the electric kettle on the table. He brewed a cup of hot chocolate and handed it to Ye Luo.

It was no different from being handed a glass of water, so there was no need for a standoff. Ye Luo took it and took a sip.

The rich, slightly bitter, yet subtly sweet hot chocolate instantly satisfied her taste buds.
