Chapter 41: I'm Telling You, Someone's Going to Sack You!

"You all!" Gong Ran gnashed her teeth, nearly driven mad by the provocation, stamping her foot. "Don’t you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this every time!"

It was always the same with these troublemakers—none of them feared her at all.

She was the heiress of the most powerful family!

Ye Wuqi stepped forward, blocking Yan Baba and Lei Xingxing behind him, assuming the lead. As he casually shrugged off his school jacket and tossed it to Qiao Qingyang to hold, he shot Gong Ran a slow, deliberate glance. "If you're looking for a fight, let’s get on with it."

Gong Ran’s eyes widened instantly, her face reading, "You’d even hit a girl?"

Qian Xiaoxing immediately stepped forward, kindly advising her, "You’d better leave now, or you might end up in a sack for real."

A sack?

What was that supposed to mean?

Ye Luo, still not fully acquainted with the ways of this era, truly didn’t know what those words implied.

But as soon as Gong Ran heard the phrase "in a sack," she dropped all pretense and bolted without looking back, as if something terrifying were chasing her.

And at that moment, Ye Luo understood what it meant.

"What are you all staring at? Haven’t you seen enough?" Ye Wuqi spun around and barked at the onlookers, who, seeing him in this mood, scattered in all directions like startled birds.

Not a trace of them remained within moments.

Seeing her ancestor’s stance, and the crowd’s reaction, an uneasy feeling crept into Ye Luo’s heart, causing her to frown imperceptibly.

Yet, as she looked at the backs of her ancestor, Lei Xingxing, and Yan Baba—all standing protectively in front of her—a warmth flowed through Ye Luo’s chest.

She had always been the one standing at the front. Never before had she been sheltered at the back like this.

"I have to go to work now; I’m off," Qiao Qingyang said, tossing the jacket back to Ye Wuqi and leaving for real.

Yan Baba immediately sidled up to Ye Luo, waggling his eyebrows. "Our beauty came to school today especially to celebrate with you~"

"Enough with the pointless chatter." Ye Wuqi slung an arm around Yan Baba’s shoulders in a brotherly way and faced Ye Luo. "Let’s head inside—it’s almost time for class."

Ye Luo simply looked up at the long banner hanging outside the classroom, making it clear she wanted to take it down.

"No way!" Ye Wuqi objected at once. "It has to stay up for at least a week. Something this big hardly ever happens in our class!"

Yan Baba, Lei Xingxing, and Qian Xiaoxing all nodded in agreement.

Silently, Ye Luo entered the classroom.

He was her ancestor, so whatever he said went...

But still, what a humiliation...

And it would last a whole week...

As she reached her seat, Ye Luo noticed that last Friday’s quiz papers had been handed back. Without even glancing at them, she slid the four sheets into her desk.

There were four test papers on her ancestor’s desk as well.

He had answered plenty of questions on each one, yet, strangely, he had scored only six points on all of them.

According to the family records, he would eventually be admitted to K University. Though it was only a third-rate school now, in a few years it would rise to become the world’s most prestigious institution. Regardless of its rank, with grades as poor as his, how could he possibly get in?

If he didn’t make it into K University, the Ye family’s history would be rewritten for sure.

So she not only had to protect her ancestor but also help him gain admission to K University.

But that wasn’t something she could rush.

Ye Luo decided to take things slowly. She sat down, took a bank card from her backpack, and handed it to Ye Wuqi, who was still joking around with Yan Baba and the others.

"For you," she said calmly.
