Chapter 1273 — The First Head-On Clash - "I..." Xie Yufeng was furious! I donate money and I still have to queue up? Xie Yufeng had meant to be the first to donate, to leave Qiu Lingshan with an impression of warmth and zeal, but instead he only made a fool of himself, and Fatty Shen had ruined it for him!
By now, the students in the audience who knew nothing of the matter were buzzing with speculation.
"Isn't Xie Yufeng a student? Why is he donating along with people from the outside world?" one student asked.
"Exactly. Isn't he just trying to show off that he's rich, and a big shot too?" said another.
Xie Yufeng's face turned ugly at once. What he had meant as a chance to shine had come to this instead, and he shot Fatty Shen a venomous glare.
"Forget it, Fatty Shen. Let someone else donate first. We're all giving out of the goodness of our hearts, so who goes first and who goes last makes no difference." Zou Tiandi, for his part, was in no hurry to donate now. Since this had happened and the young man was already up on stage, if he still insisted on going first, Wei Zhao might see through his flattery and find it affected. Better to let the boy go ahead.
"Hmph! Consider yourself lucky. You go first!" Fatty Shen released Xie Yufeng and said to him.
At that moment Xie Yufeng's face was full of grievance. What kind of nonsense was this? He donated money and only earned himself a heap of blame! Donating ought to be a glorious, honorable thing; Xie Yufeng had wanted to display his own grace and bearing through it. But now a fat man stood beside him like a supervisor, constantly urging him to hurry up, and it was driving Xie Yufeng mad!
"So that the orphans in the orphanage can live better lives, I have decided to donate two hundred thousand!" Xie Yufeng declared smugly as he strode onto the stage and addressed Tang Yun and Gu Mengyao.
"Thank you for your support, classmate Xie Yufeng." Tang Yun smiled sweetly and nodded to him.
Though she disliked this Xie Yufeng in her heart, Tang Yun was the host now, and since Xie Yufeng was a donor, she could not let her feelings color how she treated him.
Xie Yufeng had originally wanted to take the microphone and say a few words. He had donated two hundred thousand, after all, and in his view that was surely the largest donation at the boxing arena, so he wanted to show off in front of Qiu Lingshan. But just as he was about to ask Tang Yun for the microphone, he heard Fatty Shen say: "Two hundred thousand and you want to make a speech? Get off the stage, don't waste time. In a moment Boss Zou is going to donate five hundred thousand!"
Fatty Shen said this very loudly, and through the microphone in Tang Yun's hand it carried down to the whole hall, making every student present burst out laughing.
Xie Yufeng felt his face burning. This was the most humiliating moment of his life. The few times he had been shamed before, Wei Zhao had seen it, but only on a small scale, and most people had not witnessed it. Today, though, it was not only in front of the entire school, but in front of Qiu Lingshan as well!
Xie Yufeng felt that if he did not say something, he would truly be a spineless coward! But looking at the burly Fatty Shen beside him, he knew that without using his true qi he was no match for the man. So Xie Yufeng settled for the next best thing and vented his resentment on Tang Yun: "You b*tch, why didn't you turn off the microphone? Do you want to die?"
Xie Yufeng's voice, through the microphone in Tang Yun's hand, spread through the entire school! Instantly the whole school was in an uproar!
Some people had found Xie Yufeng's behavior ridiculous before, but only ridiculous. Now, however, they held him in contempt! How could a person have so little class? Cursing the host the moment he opened his mouth? What did the host have to do with any of it?
"Is this guy sick? Has he gone crazy? Why is he acting like a mad dog? He made a fool of himself, and now he's cursing someone else?" Student A asked in astonishment.
"Hey, can't you see? He's not crazy at all. He's clever as can be! He bullies the weak and fears the strong. That fat man, he doesn't dare touch. So he starts raging at the host instead!" Student B explained.
"But isn't the host Wei Zhao's girlfriend? This Xie Yufeng is probably done for!" Student C said sympathetically.
Sure enough, they were right. From the moment Tang Yun was cursed to the moment Wei Zhao leaped onto the T-stage was only the briefest instant; the next second, Wei Zhao kicked Xie Yufeng square in the chest and sent him flying right off the stage.
After the kick, Wei Zhao did not linger. He did not even exchange a word with Tang Yun, but simply returned to his seat below.
This was the first time Wei Zhao had clashed with Xie Yufeng head-on in public.
Before this, Wei Zhao had not figured out Xie Yufeng's background, and Xie Yufeng had never done anything that crossed Wei Zhao's bottom line, so Wei Zhao had let him be and allowed him to stay at the school. But today, one furious curse from Xie Yufeng had stirred Wei Zhao's temper! Your woman is the b*tch! And even if she is one, she should be a slut for me and me alone. Who asked you to run your mouth?
So Wei Zhao went up on stage without the slightest mercy and kicked Xie Yufeng off. Though Wei Zhao did not know why Xie Yufeng had broken through and become a mid-stage Profound Rank expert in just a few days, Wei Zhao was himself at the peak of mid-stage Profound Rank, so naturally he had nothing to fear. If he wanted a fight, a fight he would get; Wei Zhao would not beat him to death.
Xie Yufeng had not expected Wei Zhao to kick him off the stage so publicly, and he was stunned for a moment! But then it struck him: the host on stage seemed to be Wei Zhao's girlfriend, didn't she? In his panic he had spoken without thinking and cursed her, and now Wei Zhao had come to take revenge?
As Xie Yufeng tumbled off the T-stage, a murderous impulse surged in his heart, and a flicker of viciousness crossed his eyes. He decided that tonight he would discuss it with his father. He was going to kill Wei Zhao!
Of course, at school, in front of everyone, and especially in front of Qiu Lingshan, Xie Yufeng could only swallow it for now! To kill someone openly at school, even as a son of the Yu family, would land him in a heap of trouble!
Xie Yufeng got to his feet in gloom. But at school he no longer had the face to stay, so he walked straight out of the campus. Two hundred thousand, and not only had it failed to win him any goodwill, it had bought him a reputation for cursing.
Watching Xie Yufeng's dejected figure leave the school, the students below the stage mocked him, cursed him; in short, not one of them had a kind word to say.
The clash between Wei Zhao and Xie Yufeng had happened in an extremely brief span of time, so it did not stir up too great a disturbance. As Xie Yufeng slunk away, everyone's attention returned to the donation drive.
Tang Yun, though startled, was also caught between laughter and tears. That was just Wei Zhao's nature; he could not stand to see anyone bully her. But his way of solving problems was a little too rough! At this thought, Tang Yun and Gu Mengyao exchanged a glance, and both smiled wryly.
