Chapter 374 The loop is closed!
After returning home that night, Pei Jin seemed to have suddenly become enlightened. He began to work hard to hone his piano skills again. The first thing he did when he got home from school was to go to the piano room and bang on the piano at home.
Sometimes he would work so hard that he would often stay up until one or two in the morning. There were times when Pei's mother worked overtime or was on a business trip and came back late at night, and the sound of the piano had not stopped yet. After asking the servants at home, she learned that her son was preparing to play together with Bai Yuan for the school anniversary.
At first, Pei's mother was pleased with his actions, thinking that Pei Jin had finally passed his rebellious period and started to be obedient and knew when to put his strength on Bai Yuan. Not only did she strongly support him, she also asked the servants to prepare midnight snacks for him to replenish his energy. He even smiled more often while working, which made his subordinates feel uneasy.
But soon, Pei's mother became the first victim.
Although the entire Pei family house was soundproofed, every time he passed by the piano room door, some sound would inevitably leak out, but it was not that loud and could be ignored.
But as we all know, the piano is a percussion instrument. When we say playing the piano, we are actually hitting it, hitting it hard. In this way, the sound is changed from air conduction to solid conduction, and the beautiful melody is blocked by the soundproof wall. The only thing left is the sound like that of a sledgehammer during renovation.
Pei's mother's room was just above the piano room.
Pei's mother has been taking care of Pei's family all year round, which is very stressful. In addition, as she is getting older, her physical strength in the past two years is obviously not as good as when she was young. Also, because she drinks strong coffee all year round, she not only suffers from insomnia and nightmares, but also suffers from neurasthenia. She can hear every little sound clearly, and when it is serious, she cannot sleep all night long.
Pei Jin's piano just hit her particularly fragile nerves. Every time she tossed and turned and finally felt a little sleepy and was about to fall asleep, Pei Jin's piano would always make a series of bang bang bang sounds at just the right time, instantly waking Pei's mother from her dream and making her very disturbed.
Pei Jin held his breath and had endless energy in his body. He had to work hard secretly so that he could show off his skills and shock the whole audience on the school anniversary. When he thought of Bai Yuan's astonished look, Pei Jin played the piano harder. He swung the big hammer and the small hammer, sometimes forty, sometimes eighty, and it looked like he was going to smash the wall of Bai Yuan's heart and open a door to get in.
Seeing that he was finally willing to put his thoughts and efforts into Bai Yuan, even though Pei's mother suffered a lot, she could not order him not to play the piano at night, nor to discourage his enthusiasm that he had finally aroused. Instead, she had to praise him often and encourage him to continue to persevere. She also put on an eye mask and earmuffs, and was almost given sleeping pills.
In the end, he had no choice but to reduce the frequency of returning to Pei's house and live in another house to make room for Pei Jin and give him enough space to display his talents.
Pei Jin didn't know about his mother's "good intentions", but instead felt that he had been living an especially comfortable life these days.
Not only did his own mother stop finding fault with him, she also praised him from time to time. The relationship between mother and son seemed to have eased, but it was mainly because distance creates beauty, thanks to the fact that Pei's mother only came back once every ten days or half a month.
Pei Jin had no one to restrain him, so he lived a happy life. When he was happy, he played the piano more melodiously. When he played the piano, Pei's mother could not come back to live with him. If she could not come back to live with him, no one would restrain Pei Jin.
This forms a perfect closed loop!
Pei Jin was in a good mood, feeling very proud and proud during this period, and he walked with a breeze. Seeing that he was in a good mood, his followers knew that this was a golden opportunity to take advantage of others, consolidate the brotherhood among buddies, and build relationships, so they all swarmed around him.
Whenever someone said something nice, Pei Jin would just wave his hand and transform himself into a money-giving boy. He single-handedly revitalized most of Haiqi's market economy, and even many families benefited from it and gained a lot of benefits from it.
Therefore, when he was in school, no matter where Pei Jin went, there would always be a group of people following him, which was a spectacular sight. Putting a group of energetic teenagers together would be a collection of chaos and trouble, and it would be hard not to attract attention.
This solidified her reputation as a 'school bully' who was already known for often threatening boys who showed interest in Bai Yuan. It was still okay within Hailan Private High School, as everyone knew that 'Miss Pei' liked this kind of high-profile and ostentatious style.
However, in other surrounding schools, ignorant people have already started to spread the word that Hailan Private High School has a very powerful school bully who is always forming gangs and parading around. It is said that he is leading people to grab territory these days, and this area is under his control.
There are even quite a few real gangsters who are thinking of looking for others to fight in a group and test the waters with a head-on confrontation.
Rumors are spreading like wildfire, and they are even getting more and more serious.
Boys aged sixteen or seventeen are at the age when they are most trustworthy. They are usually very sleepy when listening to the teacher in class, but during this class, their eyelids are busy with free fighting. But when the teacher talks about his love history, they immediately become alert. It can only be said that gossip is human nature, and to exaggerate it is an artistic processing.
As a result, the news spread and reached the ears of some parents.
When parents heard this, they were shocked. They thought that forming gangs at such a young age was no different from gangsters! What if their children were bullied? Besides, such a group of people gathering together would affect public order and pose a safety hazard. Who knows what kind of trouble they might cause one day.
So these parents got together and joined forces to file a complaint with the Education Bureau, and jointly wrote a letter demanding that these bad boys who did not study well in class and pretended to be good people in society be strictly disciplined.
But this was originally a fabricated story. The rumor was spread by many mouths, and with different opinions, it has long been distorted beyond recognition. The versions were updated too quickly, and everyone just treated this as a fun thing after school. No one knew the specific situation, so it would be a miracle if they could find out anything.
The Education Bureau investigated 163 times but still couldn't find out who the person involved in the rumor was. But if they just said they couldn't find out, the parents couldn't accept it, as they thought they were just sitting there doing nothing. So in order to calm the parents and to prevent any further incidents, they contacted the police.
In recent days, police cars can often be seen stationed at intersections near several schools, guarding from morning to night, and not leaving until the school closes and all the students go home.
Pei Jin had no idea what was happening in the outside world. Young Master Pei only did two things every day:
First, practice the piano.
Second, stare at Jiang Ling who is beside Bai Yuan.
The closer it got to the school anniversary, the busier Bai Yuan became, and the more time she spent with Jiang Ling. Whenever Pei Jin went to see Bai Yuan, he would see Jiang Ling beside her.
This made Pei Jin even more unhappy, and he would stare at Jiang Ling with an unhappy deathly gaze every time. It was not enough for him to stare at him alone, he also had to bring his followers around him to stare at him together, making Jiang Ling always feel chilly and cold sweats all over his body.
It was like being stared at by countless wolves with cold eyes in the forest. Who wouldn’t be scared!!!
At this moment, in the Student Union President's office, Bai Yuan was sitting at her desk, while Jiang Ling was standing beside her, reporting to her about the schedule of the school anniversary day.
Pei Jin was sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the president's office, squinting his beautiful peach blossom eyes, supervising Jiang Ling's work report without blinking.
Jiang Ling felt as if a thorn was piercing his back due to his gaze. A cold wind blew into his neck from his collar, and he couldn't stand comfortably no matter how he stood.
He had no choice but to speed up the process and say what needed to be said concisely. After all the work was reported and Bai Yuan's approval was obtained, he quickly slipped away from the room and got away.
After repelling Jiang Ling with his eyes, Pei Jin slowly stood up from the sofa, stretched his body, moved his arms, put his hands in his pockets and walked to Bai Yuan. He squinted his eyes and tilted his head comfortably like a large cat that had just woken up and said:
"Are you done? Let's go?" Pei Jin said, "My mother returned the driver to me today, but I got a few more bodyguards. I heard that things are not peaceful recently. It seems that there are social tumors roaming around nearby. They even used police cars. They said they sent a few bodyguards to follow just in case."
Pei Jin still has psychological trauma towards bodyguards because of the incident in which he was arrested and brought back to China. He is somewhat resistant to having them follow him around, as if he were being monitored, even if they only follow him during his commute to and from school.
He is a grown man, in good health and has never been ill. He has also learned Sanda, boxing, taekwondo and self-defense. All children of wealthy families learn all the uniform self-defense methods since childhood.
Although he is not invincible, he is still capable of fighting against a few small thugs.
Going out with so many bodyguards seems to make him look very cowardly.
But even though he was reluctant, Pei Jin did not quarrel with his mother and ask for the bodyguard to be dismissed. Instead, he followed what Bai Yuan had taught him and agreed first, then negotiated the matter.
Pei Jin finished speaking, looked at Bai Yuan, and reminded him: "You too, don't stay out too late recently, go home early, it would be bad if something happens, I will take you home in the next few days."
