Chapter 93 Forcing the Ancestor to Offer a Toast
As soon as Ge Beiyao returned to the hall, he sensed that something was wrong. He looked up and saw the principal angrily berating Yun Yao.
I was only gone for ten minutes, what happened?
"Yun Yao, are you deaf? I told you to go around toasting each table!" The president of Imperial University said in an unhappy tone.
Yun Yao seemed not to hear, her expression indifferent as she gently swirled her wine glass.
"Principal, I think we should just let it go," Wu Chen said, somewhat worried that the principal might offend Yun Yao.
"Hmph, it's just that he got first place in the exam. If my Imperial University can produce one, it can produce a second!" the principal said bluntly.
Yun Qintian's face also darkened, but after seeing Yun Yao's signal, he didn't say anything, and just drank one cup of wine after another in silence.
"Yun Yao, aren't all the people here today your elders? What's wrong with asking you to offer a toast? Are you some kind of pampered lady who can't bend over and drink?" The principal of Imperial University slammed his hand on the table, drawing everyone's attention to their table.
Although Yun Yao was obsessed with the aroma of wine lingering in her nose, she no longer needed to tolerate being bullied like this.
She placed the wine glass on the table, making a crisp sound.
"Principal, is this how you treat people? No wonder Imperial University has had a great reputation but hasn't been able to produce any outstanding students all these years. With a principal like you who is so eager to curry favor, it would be a miracle if any good students emerged." Yun Yao raised her eyes slightly, her gaze sharp and serious.
Upon hearing Yun Yao's words, everyone present gasped in shock.
Although Imperial University has a great reputation, it has indeed been struggling in the past two years. This is certainly related to the president, but no one dares to say these things in front of the president.
Is Yun Yao a genuine person, or has she become arrogant after achieving some success?
"Yun Yao, how dare you speak to the principal like that? Don't you understand the importance of respecting teachers?" There were many students from Imperial University present, and they held this usually stern principal in high esteem. Yun Yao's words naturally displeased them.
Yun Yao's cold gaze fell on the girl who had spoken, and her cherry lips parted slightly: "A teacher is one who imparts knowledge, instructs in skills, and resolves doubts. But he treats his students as tools for showing off and forces them to toast others. Does such a person deserve my respect?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, but after seeing Bai Mengyan, who was sitting not far from Yun Yao, smooth her hair, she clearly gained confidence.
"So what? The principal is still your elder!"
"That's right! Yun Yao, you should apologize to the principal!"
"Apologize!"
The voices demanding that Yun Yao apologize to the principal rang out deafeningly.
The principal, standing there, puffed out his chest and looked at Yun Yao with disdain.
Hmph, after what happened today, he'd like to see which school or association would still want a student as unruly as Yun Yao. In the end, she'll have no choice but to choose Imperial University!
Ge Xiaoxiao arrived just in time to see this scene, and her expression immediately turned serious.
He took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose and stormed angrily toward Yun Yao's table.
When Ge Beiyao saw Ge Xiaoxiao take off her glasses, he knew something was wrong and quickly reached out to stop her.
"Xiaoxiao, where are you going!"
"Big brother, is this what you meant by protecting her?" Ge Xiaoxiao slapped Ge Beiyao's arm away.
"Xiaoxiao, don't be impulsive. The situation is not as simple as you think," Ge Beiyao advised earnestly.
But Ge Xiaoxiao's eyes were bloodshot, and she couldn't hear a word he was saying.
Su Feng also saw the argument taking place on their side. He thought Ge Beiyao would stop Ge Xiaoxiao, but judging from the current situation, Ge Beiyao's persuasion would probably be in vain.
A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, and taking advantage of Bai Mengyan's distraction, he hurriedly got up.
As soon as Ge Xiaoxiao walked past Ge Beiyao, Su Feng blocked her way.
"Su Feng, get out of my way if you don't want to die." Ge Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of ruthlessness, completely different from her usual docile self.
Su Feng stood firmly in front of Ge Xiaoxiao, his expression very serious.
“Ge Xiaoxiao, what are you going there for in this situation? Yun Yao will handle it. Even if things don’t go well, the Yun family is still there, and they will definitely not let her suffer any injustice.”
"Su Feng, move aside."
Ge Xiaoxiao lowered her head slightly, exuding a fierce aura.
Ge Xiaoxiao is terrifying now.
Su Feng knew he couldn't stop Ge Xiaoxiao at all, so he could only step aside, watching her departing figure with worry in his eyes.
Ge Xiaoxiao walked to Yun Yao's side, slammed her hand on the table, making a loud noise that shook the entire pear wood table.
"Shut up, everyone!"
The room fell silent for a moment, and when they saw who had spoken, all that remained was snickering.
"Oh, who do we have here? It's Yun Yao's little tagalong. What, now you've switched to being a bodyguard?"
"Did everyone see that? They're a den of snakes and rats! Yun Yao dared to openly defy the principal, and this sycophant dares to act like a bully right after!"
Despite hearing the rumors, Yun Yao's expression remained unchanged. She glanced at Ge Xiaoxiao, who was in a fit of rage, and placed her hand on the back of Ge Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Let's end the celebration banquet here."
After saying that, Yun Yao got up and pulled Ge Xiaoxiao to leave.
"Hey, Yun Yao, what do you mean 'come here'? The principal hasn't even spoken yet, who do you think you are!" A sharp, piercing voice rang out.
Yun Yao clearly sensed that Ge Xiaoxiao was about to lose control of her emotions, so she didn't stop and held her hand tightly.
"Ge Xiaoxiao, concentrate, look at my hand, and don't listen to their nonsense." Where no one could see, Yun Yao's fingertips condensed into a cluster of milky white light.
Yun Yao pulled Ge Xiaoxiao up to a private room on the second floor, and closed the door behind them, ignoring the noise downstairs.
This girl is usually very patient, so why was she so provoked today?
"It's alright, I'm here." Yun Yao reached out and touched the top of her head, and an invisible spiritual energy flowed into Ge Xiaoxiao's body.
Ge Xiaoxiao's tightly clenched lower lip gradually loosened, and the blood beads that seeped out were particularly eye-catching. The hatred all over her body also began to dissipate, and she drifted off to sleep in a daze.
Seeing that she had finally calmed down, Yun Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
What kind of trauma did this little guy suffer before to have such a strong stress reaction?
Yun Yao's gaze fell on the glasses that had slipped out of her pocket, her eyes darkening slightly.
It seems that these glasses are the 'seal' for this little guy.
Yun Yao was sitting to the side, carefully thinking about what had happened that day, and she felt that something was not quite right.
Just as I was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
"Who?" Yun Yao asked warily.
"Miss Yun, I'm a hotel staff member. Do you need any assistance?"
Yun Yao wanted to refuse, but hesitated when she saw Ge Xiaoxiao's lips covered in blood.
"Could you get me a glass of water, please?"
"Okay, wait a minute."
Hearing the footsteps outside the door gradually fading away, I guessed they were going to prepare water.
Feeling bored, Yun Yao got up and took a book from the bookshelf. She had only flipped through a couple of pages when there was another knock on the door.
"come in."
Yun Yao kept her head down and did not look at the person who came.
"Just put the water on the table."
The waiter didn't say anything, and Yun Yao didn't pay any attention.
When she heard a thud, Yun Yao looked up sharply and saw a woman dressed as a waitress lying on the ground, convulsing and foaming at the mouth, looking quite terrifying.
Yun Yao's gaze swept across her face, and her expression darkened.
