"Principal..." Before Tutor Daliu could finish, Principal Shen cut him off.
"That's enough. Professor Frank is getting impatient. All of you, follow along." With that, Principal Shen got into the car.
Long before Tutor Daliu had even approached, Gu Jiaojiao had already removed her foot from Wei Zhu's back and settled into her seat in the car.
The principal's assistant opened the passenger-side door and got in. The moment their doors shut, the driver started the engine and sped away.
"We'll get in the cars behind," Tutor Daliu told his students, a hint of resentment in his voice.
'This is all Wei Zhu's fault. If I really can't go this time, I'll be utterly humiliated!'
"I'm so sorry, Tutor. I wasn't in my right mind and embarrassed you. Please, can I still come along?" Wei Zhu asked pitifully.
She scrambled up from the ground and looked down, brushing the dust from her clothes, not daring to meet her tutor's eyes.
