Chapter 44 She Can Do Better

“Sir, I’m just doing my job. Josh has skipped too many classes, and he should be expelled according to our regulations.” Jun Wu said in a low voice. His head drooped. The woman with purple hair also said: “Sir, Josh set a very bad example for the other students, and he should be severely punished.” The headmaster blushed furiously after hearing what they said. “Shut up!” He shouted. “You are in no position to talk about Mr Lin like that! I think you want yourselves to be expelled!” The two of them trembled. Their face went pale and they didn’t dare to make another sound. They couldn’t believe the headmaster was getting so angry for the sake of Josh. “Apologize to Mr Lin if you don’t want to be expelled!” The headmaster said. Of course they didn’t dare to disobey the headmaster. They walked to Josh with their head drooped. They looked so pathetic and no one could believe how arrogant they were only a few minutes ago. They were not stupid. They realized Josh is not an average person and they should never have messed with Josh. “I told you that you couldn’t expel me, and you didn’t believe me.” Josh wore a half smile. The two of them said in a low voice: “Josh, we are so sorry. Please forgive us.” Their face crumpled. “What did you say? I can’t hear you!” Josh frowned. Their voice then raised. “We said we are sorry. Please forgive us!” “Oh, you are apologizing. But I’m sorry. Your apology is not accepted.” Josh smiled coldly. They couldn’t believe what Josh said. At that time, the headmaster said: “Since your apology is not accepted, I have to remove you from the Student Union.” Jun’ s face went ghostly pale. He worked very hard to get into the Student Union. The woman’s eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn’t believe she just lost her position in the union like that. But what could they do about it. It was the headmaster’s decision. They felt a pang of regret. Why did they have to help Hai Zheng? Why did they have to mess with Josh? “Mr Lin, can you forgive them now?” The headmaster asked. “Good. Hopefully they will learn a lesson from this experience. And also, I don’t like the Student Union’s bureaucracy, and you should do something about it.” Josh said flatly. “I know. I will work on it. Please don’t worry about it.” The headmaster nodded. Jun was listening to their conversation. He couldn’t believe Josh was talking to the headmaster as if the headmaster was his inferior. And He couldn’t imagine how powerful Josh really is. “Okay, I will go to the class. You can go back to your business.” Josh said. He then walked into the classroom through the backdoor, and the teacher didn’t bother to ask Josh why was he late, because the headmaster had informed all the teachers that Josh is allowed to skip classes and to be late. The class was soon over. After class, Josh walked to Jane and sat in front her. “Jane, how is your mom doing? Is she going to have the operation?” Josh asked. “Yes. Everything is arranged. She will have the operation tomorrow.” Jane smiled. She was very happy. “That’s good.” Josh nodded. “I’m very lucky to have Huading Group’s help. I don’t know what should I do without them.” Jane said. She didn’t know Josh was the one who had been helping her. “Yeah. They really helped a lot.” Josh also smiled. “Why didn’t you come to school this morning? Were you busy?” Jane asked. “Oh, yeah. I had something to deal with.” Josh touched his nose. At that time, A girl walked to them and said smilingly: “You guys are so close to each other. Are you in love?” This girl’s name is Huihui. She is Jane’s roommate and they are also very good friends. Jane blushed and said: “Huihui, what are you talking about? We are only friends.” “What a relief. Jane, you are very beautiful and you must find yourself a rich boyfriend. Josh will never make you happy because he doesn’t know how to make money.” Huihui said. Josh’s face darkened. He hated snobs. But he didn’t say anything because Huihui is Jane’s friend. But Huihui didn’t stop. She looked at Josh and said: “Josh, I hope you can stop bothering Jane. She deserves someone better. You will never be good enough for her.” Josh then frowned and said: “How do you know that I will never be good enough for Jane?” “Isn’t that obvious? You live in a shabby place. Your family is single-parent. You can’t even afford your tuition and you need to do part-time jobs to earn money. Everybody knows your situation.” Huihui said with contempt. She continued: “And look at Jane. She is beautiful. She is a good student. She has a good personality. So many boys are chasing her and all of them have a better chance than you do.” “Huihui, stop! We are just friends.” Jane grabbed Huihui’s arm. She then looked at Josh and said: “Josh, please forgive her. She is always like this.” Some students heard what Huihui said and they also joined in the conversation. The girl sitting behind Jane said: “Huihui is right. Josh, you should give up your hope. Jane will never love you.” “Josh, you are just humiliating yourself.” Someone said from a corner. Some students even said some nasty things about Josh. Everyone was saying that Josh was not good enough for Jane. Josh’s face set in grim lines. And Fatty, Josh’s good friend, could no longer put up with it. He stood up and shouted: “Shut up! All of you! Do you know Josh’s real identity? He is the one who donated ten million to the school! You should be ashamed of yourselves!” “What? He is the mysterious rich guy who donated a huge amount of money to our school? Are you kidding me!” What Fatty said didn’t make the situation any better, Instead, the whole class burst into laughter. “Fatty, are you out of your mind? Josh doesn’t even have a thousand, to say nothing about ten million!” “This is the best joke I have ever heard!” Everyone was roaring with laughter. No one believed what Fatty said. Fatty blushed furiously. He was stomping his foot and he didn’t know what to do. Huihui said: “Fatty, I know you and Josh are very good friends. But you don’t need to make this lie for him.” “I didn’t lie!” Fatty shouted. “Why would we believe what you said.” Huihui laughed coldly. “Fatty, that’s enough.” Josh winked at him. And Fatty nodded. Jane felt very sorry for Josh, and she was also very angry with Huihui. Her face was pink with embarrassment and she said: “Josh, it’s all my fault, and......” She wanted to say something for Josh, but she didn’t know what to say to make everyone stop talking about him.
