861: Huo Lan

Huo Lan

When Ma Jiu saw that her sister's son was also on the cruise she could not care about anything else. She placed the plate which she was holding in her hands on the table and then pushed the chair on which she was sitting away before rushing towards Lu Shan who tried to sneak away.1

" You come here, you are supposed to be in school, why are you here? Does your mother knows?" Ma Jiu caught the collar of the boy who was trying to run away and then pulled him back, immediately putting a stop to Luo Shan's actions of running away from his aunt. 

Even Su Qian placed her plate on the table and then walked over to her nephew who was smiling sheepishly at her and then glared at him with her eyes narrowed as she sternly said, " I will give you three seconds to explain why you are here when you were supposed to be studying, Qingzhao. Do not disappoint me, do you understand?" 

The cruise was not even close to the deserted island but Su Qian was already having a bad feeling regarding this place. It was fine since she was the one who came here, and in her eyes even if things went bad —— she was still an adult and would be fine but upon seeing the son of her brother, she could not help but be flustered. 

What was he doing here? 

Behind the two boys, a young girl and two young boys stood. They were now looking at Su Qingzhao and Luo Shan with a slightly awkward looks on their faces.. they all came to this cruise because they wanted to pray for the upcoming results of the college examinations by lying to their parents that they were going on a study tour with their class but now they were caught by the adults of these two idiots! 

And that Su Qingzhao! What was the need to call his aunt? 

Su Qingzhao could sense the angry glares of his friends and looked away since he knew that he was in the wrong. 

" I... I only came here because I think that I am going to fail the college entrance exams aunt… you know my dad, if I fail.. he will send me abroad… I don't want to leave," as he spoke he reluctantly glanced at Huo Lan who was standing behind him. 

When Su Qian saw the brat acting as such, she was so angry that she laughed. With her hand stretching forward, she caught the ear of Su Qing Zhao and then said, " Very good, you did not study when the exams were commencing and now you want God to bless you, what are you expecting? That the Gods will exchange a sheet of paper which is full of correct answers when you all left it empty filled with bullshit?" 

Her scoldings caused the five youngsters to flush red in shame, in fact, they too knew that they were in the wrong but they were young and reckless. They did not learn how to write the word regret until they were experiencing it on their own—— but it was already too late for them to regret even if they were willing to pick their books now, they couldn't write their papers again. 

Su Qian and Ma Jiu looked at the group of young men and a girl who was dressed like those rebellious gothic kids, wearing all black with thick eyeliner around their eyes. They knew for a fact that these kids were so rebellious because they were not being paid enough attention by their parents but still failing the college examinations and coming to this place to pray for getting passing marks. 

Were they stupid? 

Su Qian looked at Luo Shan and his friend, she knew Qin Lu and Zou Shen. These two kids were not a good pair either, she knew that they were the ones who dragged her nephew to smoke and play games while Huo Lan was a girl who liked to take advantage of these young kids who were willing to pay for this and that for her just because she was good looking. 

She had heard from her brother that her son was giving her a headache because of this solicitous-looking girl called Huo Lan, refusing to go to abroad and insisting to study in that stupid school which was not good at all, just because this girl whose mother worked in the Su house as a maid was going to that third-grade school. 

In fact, it would be right to say that Qin Lu and Zou Shen befriended Luo Shan and Su Qingzhao because of this girl. Su Qian looked at the girl regarding whom she had no good feelings at all, given that she was a bit too like Madam Bai and then turned to look at Su Qingzhao.

And the more she looked at these idiots standing in front of her, the more she could not help but feel a headache coming. With a raise of her hands, she said in a grim voice, " Qing Zhao, are you trying to get your father to kick you out of the company? How can you flunk your college exams and even come here without telling him? Are you out of your mind!" 

When Su Qingzhao heard his aunt reprimand, he felt a bit awkward as he glanced at Huo Lan who was standing behind him and looking at him before turning to look at his aunt and saying in a stubborn voice, " Ugh Jeez aunt, why are you being so nosy? I am an adult. So what if I came here without telling my old man? I can go wherever I want as I am eighteen years old and not eight years old… and so what if I flunked the college exams? It is not the end of the world, my dad has enough money." 

Though he was scared of facing his father after getting bad marks, Su Qingzhao did not wish to be embarrassed in front of the girl whom he liked by his aunt which was why he acted stubborn and then said, " You are also here, why can't I?"
