The Rural Beauty, Chapter 377: The Bald Old Man, Chapter 377 The bald old man’s words were simply too blunt! He dared to openly flirt with a respectable woman right in front of me! Lü Yun glanced at the newly installed glass window he’d just fitted, thinking: Old fellow, you’ve just had your share of scolding—now you’re forgetting the pain, are you? I’m still inside the room. If it were Miss Liu herself who came over, you’d probably go straight after Miss Yunqian, issuing threats to get her to comply! Lü Yun seemed to hear again the sound of glass shattering on the principal education commissioner’s window. Waohm) Who is Liu Yun? She's full of subtle instincts—definitely a top-notch woman. As soon as the Education Commission director spoke, he clearly conveyed his subtle intentions, yet instead of being annoyed, she chuckled warmly, saying, "Director, you're so kind—our ability to run the canteen at the school isn't possible without your constant support. How could we ever be grateful for all the trouble we cause you?" "No trouble at all," the director said, smiling warmly and rubbing his hands with a distinctly humble air. "If Zhang Yi can't manage something, just come to me. Don't think I'm too old to help—on the contrary, I'm always eager to lend a hand." Liu Yun laughed, saying, "Then, Director, whenever I face difficulties in the future, I'll certainly have to rely on you." "Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!" the director repeated the word "excellent" three times, his eyes fixed intently on Liu Yun's lovely face, smiling, "Little Yun, I notice you look a bit pale—haven't you been sleeping well lately?" "Li Yun sighed, saying, 'It's still all because of my husband. He's been fighting with people and injured himself—how can I possibly sleep well?' Lu Yun had been left aside by Li Yun and the principal of the education committee, listening to their conversation and shaking his head in quiet frustration. What on earth is going on? They've been flirting right in front of me! I'm going to be furious—really, what a mess! This is from Chapter 377 of 'Rural Beauty.' The principal was delighted upon hearing Liu Yun's words. It seemed that his doctor friend hadn't been deceiving him after all—Zhang Yi had indeed struck a blow to his vitality. With such a beautiful, young woman as Liu Yun, she would surely find it hard to endure the loneliness of her private life. From now on, he would have to pay more attention to her, lest this blossoming young woman wilt and fade away in the night due to unmet needs. In front of the landing clouds, the principal dared not push too hard. With a look of resentment, she glared at Lu Yun and smiled bitterly at Liu Yun, saying, "Very well. Then you go ahead and return. I still maintain that despite my age, I'm quite capable in every aspect. Should you ever encounter any difficulties, just come to me." "Thank you so much, Principal. You go on with your work—I'll be off now." Liu Yun thanked the principal repeatedly and walked out of the office side by side with Lu Yun. "Brother-in-law, that old man is clearly taking advantage of you. Why aren't you bothered?" Lu Yun certainly didn't think Liu Yun was so graceful as to miss the subtle hints in the principal's words. With a look of genuine confusion, he asked her—after all, this young woman was well-known for her fiery temperament. Otherwise, with her charm, who knows how many male teachers at the school she wouldn't have attracted. "What's wrong? Are you jealous?" Liu Yun smiled. "Well, not exactly. I just found his tone awkward—flirtatious, completely lacking the air of a proper teacher. It's because I'm here. If I weren't, I'd probably do something quite unexpected to you." Lu Yun pursed his lips, mentally cursing the head of the Education Commission a million times over. Relying on his sister's strength, he thought—how could someone so capable be just a 'plug-and-play' type who only cares about satisfying his own petty desires? What else could he possibly achieve? "Little Yun, there are things you don't fully understand. My husband and I have to eat too. As long as we're eating, we can't lose our dining table. Though the cafeteria work is a bit tiring, our days are quite fulfilling—this is the content of Chapter 377 of 'Rural Beauty.' " Liu Yun's expression darkened slightly, and she spoke softly. Lu Yun replied, "Sister, they didn't already pay us twenty thousand for medical expenses? Do we really have to take on this role at the school?" "Liu Yun giggled, saying, 'Those twenty thousand yuan have already disappeared somewhere—I can't remember where. Do you know how unclean the money is? Though your brother Zhang was injured, I simply won't use this murky sum. It's not pure enough for me.' Lu Yun was struck by this. Twenty thousand yuan—most people would carefully plan how to spend it, trying to enjoy every bit of it. Yet Liu Yun treated it as if it didn't matter at all. Truly, Lu Yun had never seen someone so ungreedy. His admiration for her grew even stronger. Yet this growing fondness didn't prevent him from wanting to stir things up with her. 'Sister, is Zhang really that badly injured?' At first, Lu Yun had doubted her words. But when he heard the same thing from the elderly principal in the education commission's office, he began to believe—half convinced, half skeptical. Liu Yun sighed and said, 'Of course. How could I take this lightly?' Little Ning isn't easy to manage—knowing her brother has been seriously injured, she insists on going to seek revenge. You yourself, Zhang Gong, are such a strong, solid man, and yet you're no match for them. How can a young girl possibly stand up against such odds? Isn't she just leaping straight into the lion's den? In Land Yun's mind, the image of Zhang Ning's determined gaze returned—her body covered with纵横交错 scars. With hesitance, she asked, "Sister-in-law, does Ning also have some martial skills? I've noticed she often leaves for a while each month. Has she been studying martial arts?" Li Yun shook her head. "I'm not really sure. After she goes out, she comes back weak and drained. Whenever I ask her questions, she can't explain much. Zhang Gong probably knows, but I've asked him several times—his silence is so firm. Even when I threatened him not to let him touch me, he still wouldn't reveal anything. After a while, I've simply stopped bothering about them." Lu Yun nodded, his mind even more puzzled. It seemed everyone had their own secrets. If it weren't for that day in the small grove when Zhang Ning had voluntarily removed her clothes, revealing the striking scars on her body, no one would have imagined that such a delicate, graceful young woman could carry so many intricate scars. When he went to fetch medicine for Tingting, he would definitely ask the bearded uncle if he had any medications to help heal or fade the scars. Just thinking about the scars still visible on Zhang Ning's skin, so smooth and porcelain-like, made Lu Yun's heart ache. ... Country Beauty 377, Main Text 377, Bearded Old Man's Update Complete!
