Chapter 31: Making Trouble at the Doorstep

De’er was speechless. “As an important supporting female character, Liang Jiaqi naturally has intelligence. Otherwise, in her previous life, she wouldn’t have committed so many foolish acts using the original host. Her decrease in intelligence in front of you is just because she didn’t anticipate your transformation.”

Sure enough, knowing that you were different, she quickly made you endure through rumors.

“Don’t think I can’t hear what you’re thinking.” Su Hua took out her phone and leisurely replied to Feng Xiao’s message, “The more intense their quarrel, the happier I am.”

After replying to the message, Su Hua looked up, only to see that the four people had already finished their dispute. Lu Lewei, angry, left with Gan Zeyu; Ling Yan also left with his hands behind his back; and Liang Jiaqi excitedly followed him.

“Can I just lump Ling Yan and Liang Jiaqi together?”

“Host, your task is to prevent Feng Xiao from turning dark. Don’t think about irrelevant things. Instead, think about how to complete the hidden tasks if you have time.”

Su Hua: “… Damn hidden tasks.”

In the vast sea of people, how was she going to find Feng Xiao’s parents?

It seemed she would have to go and find the director of that welfare home; perhaps he would have some clues.

Unexpectedly, before Su Hua could go and find the welfare home director, the director came knocking on her door.

Of course, not looking for her, but looking for Feng Xiao.

Before this, the director of the welfare home retaliated against Feng Xiao through Gao Haodong, secretly reporting to the welfare home director, saying that Feng Xiao now had money.

“Boss, I’m sorry; I really didn’t know before.” Gao Haodong apologized to Su Hua with his head down. Would the boss fire him and then make him leave St. Sakura?

Su Hua shook her hand and said, “Okay, don’t block my sight in front of me. Where are they now?”

“They have been called to the office by the counselor.”

Su Hua nodded.

Early in the morning at the school, she saw Gao Haodong and the other three kneeling at the door, seeking forgiveness. It turned out that the director heard that Feng Xiao had money, so he should demand it from Feng Xiao. However, this director has never been very honest. If the money reaches his pocket, it will naturally not be used for the children. Feng Xiao will naturally not agree. As a result, this director brought the matter to the school.

Due to the comprehensive information provided by Gao Haodong earlier, the director easily found Feng Xiao.

In front of numerous students, the director accused Feng Xiao of ingratitude and various other things.

Feng Xiao was never good at words, and encountering such an eloquent person as the director, he couldn’t come up with a rebuttal after the director’s speech.

The matter escalated and reached the ears of the counselor. Gan Zeyu promptly took them to the office.

“Sir, who are you to Feng Xiao?” The director, around fifty years old, with slightly graying temples and a kind and honest face, left a very favorable first impression.

“My name is Liu Haiyi, the director of the welfare home where Feng Xiao grew up. Actually, today’s incident is my impulsive behavior.”

Liu Haiyi looked remorseful. “I heard from Feng Xiao’s former classmates that he now earns hundreds of thousands per month. Thinking that the welfare home is struggling, I called Feng Xiao, hoping he could send some money. Unexpectedly… it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have sought repayment based on past favors.”

Liu Haiyi’s words were sincere, showing both firmness and humility. He also apologized. Even if Gan Zeyu was angry, facing such a kind and honest elder involved in welfare work, he couldn’t get angry.

“Feng Xiao, is this true?” Gan Zeyu asked.

Feng Xiao tightly pursed his thin lips, unable to say anything. What could he say? Could he mention that the principal had treated him poorly, not only being strict with him but also with all the children in the welfare home? That the money given to him wouldn’t be used for the children?

Without evidence, uttering such words would only add to another accusation against him.

Gan Zeyu looked at him, his gaze gradually turning cold.

The office fell into a silent stillness.

“Mr. Gan.” Su Hua’s voice echoed from outside the office door.
