C7 Miss Ning I Was Wrong!!

"Darn it, if Mr. Zhou lets her off the hook again, I'll be cleaning toilets for a year!"

"I've never seen Mr. Zhou with such a terrifying look in his eyes, like he's ready to devour someone."

"Oh no, this new student is about to have some bad luck!"

"When Mr. Zhou gets angry, he's relentless!"

Chen Zhou glared at the broken notebook, his face tense and his body slightly shaking with intense emotional turmoil. His eyes, red with rage, seemed to fixate on an archenemy.

His well-defined fingers trembled, veins standing out prominently.

For a moment, Su Ningning thought he might actually be ready to fight her to the death.

"Um... I can pay for it," Su Ningning offered, feeling guilty. She could just make out the tears forming in Chen Zhou's eyes.

Clearly, this item was of great importance to him.

"Compensate?"

Chen Zhou's brow furrowed, and he let out a scornful chuckle, "With what? Money? Hah."

"Su Ningning? Chen Zhou?"

Yee Xin, who had just collected the exams, turned around upon hearing the noise, "What's going on?"

"Nothing, Ms. Yee!"

Chen Zhou struggled to keep his composure, but when he looked at Su Ningning, his expression was one of barely contained fury. He might be the school's tough guy, but he still knew to show respect for his teacher.

"Oh, as long as everything's okay," Yee Xin said, still puzzled, before turning back to head for the lectern.

"Heh, meet me in the alley across the street after school!" Chen Zhou's voice was low and menacing, each word laced with malice, "True to the Liu family's form!"

The Liu family?

Su Ningning felt a moment of bewilderment at his words.

Then it clicked. Was Chen Zhou referring to her mother?

She wanted to confront Chen Zhou for an explanation, but alas, he had already left the classroom.

...

After school,

Su Ningning, carrying her black backpack, headed off campus.

From a distance, Su Lili gave Su Ningning a challenging look before gracefully stepping into the Su family's car, "Alright, we can go now," she instructed the driver with composure.

"Of course, Miss," the driver replied, well-versed in the art of flattery.

Without hesitation, he drove off swiftly.

Su Ningning watched the distant car and smirked to herself.

Clutching her backpack, she gazed blankly at the five or six alleys before her, unsure which one Chen Zhou had mentioned.

Lost in her thoughts,

a young man with dyed, multicolored hair approached and shoved her with an air of arrogance. "Hey, are you the woman who crossed Mr. Zhou?"

Ningning deftly sidestepped his push.

"Hmm?" Her voice rose slightly, tinged with a hint of danger.

"Come with me," the youth demanded haughtily.

They quickly made their way into a narrow alley.

Chen Zhou was leaning against the wall, his tall frame silhouetted against the sunset, exuding an air of defiance.

Upon seeing Ningning, he slowly lifted his head, his eyes cold and piercing as they fixed on her.

With a flick of his wrist, he snuffed out his cigarette and sent it flying.

Like a panther, he lunged at Ningning, exclaiming, "Su Ningning! You've got guts!"

Chen Zhou's onslaught was fierce and forceful.

"Damn, Mr. Zhou's not holding back?"

"Mr. Zhou, that's a lady!"

Before the onlookers could finish their sentences, Ningning's reflexes proved even swifter. In the blink of an eye, her movements were too quick for them to catch.

Then Ningning's fist—

With a resounding 'bang,' it landed heavily on Chen Zhou's cheek...

"Holy crap, that's my sister holding her own!"

"Is she supposed to be the cute type?"

"Does that hurt, Mr. Zhou?"

They clutched their faces in mock pain, suggesting a toothache!

"Su Ningning! You hit my face!"

Chen Zhou, flustered and enraged, made another move towards Ningning. But she swept her leg, sending him crashing to the ground.

Chen Zhou's pupils dilated in shock, his face a picture of astonishment.
