Chapter 21: Revelation

Luhan’s father paced back and forth in front of his father’s office.
“Why is Luhan taking so long? His aunt his very sick and she wants to see him one last time…” He grumbled.

Headmaster Lu looked at his son and shook his head with a sigh – Luhan’s father had always been so impatient. “He should be here soon. Just wait.”

Mr. Lu sighed. He was a very busy man with a tight schedule. It was probably only his third or fourth time visiting Luhan’s school in his life.

They were different – their mindsets, their values, their standards.

“End it. Tell Luhan he cannot possibly hope to be with that girl. I don’t care how smart she is.” He ordered.

“Y-You… You knew that she was poor, Luhan. Why did you do this?”

Luhan glared at his parents. His mother sounded distressed more than angry. He had been pulled out of school early.
