Chapter 331 - Old Classmate?
Chapter 331: Old Classmate?
No one bothered with Liang Gan because everyone in the room was stunned.
Didn’t she say that she had no choice but to wait until tomorrow? However, it had only been half an hour since Xiang Huai was taken away, right?
Xie Yingying widened her eyes and recalled how Xiang Huai had kicked the group of people in the room. She could not help but have a thought: Could Xiang Huai have escaped from prison?
Just as she was thinking this, she heard Xue Xi ask, “So soon?”
Xiang Huai smiled. “You shouldn’t tell a man that he’s fast.”
Everyone: “?”
Why did it feel like he was cruising?
Xiang Huai took another step forward and placed the supper on the table. He seemed to be explaining to Xue Xi, but at the same time, he seemed to be explaining to everyone as he said, “After investigating, they realized that the other party was indeed the ones who insulted me first, so I was released first.”
Everyone: “?”
Everyone looked at Liang Gan again.
Who was the one who said that one had to be cautious in Country M?
Liang Gan continued staring at him. “You… you’re Xiang Huai?”
Xiang Huai forced a look at her.
Liang Gan’s expression changed instantly.
When Xie Yingying saw her surprised expression, the grievances she had felt earlier, as well as the anger from being taught a lesson, was instantly relieved.
Xie Yingying smiled and purposely said, “Ms. Liang, this is Xue Xi’s boyfriend! So Country M is also very obedient! How can it be as scary as you say?”
Xiang Huai seemed to have heard the implied meaning. He, who usually ignored this group of people, took the initiative to ask, “What did she say?”
Xie Yingying immediately said, “Ms. Liang said that we have to be cautious and not be impulsive. She even said that you definitely won’t be able to come out today and that she intends to bring the bail money to get you out tomorrow.”
Xiang Huai understood. Did this teacher come here to preach?
He turned to look at Xue Xi again. Seeing that her expression had not changed and that she was still quiet and obedient, he said with a faint smile, “I’m sorry. I seem to have returned too early?”
His words made Liang Gan speechless.
Her face turned red!
Xie Yingying felt much better after holding her breath before. She hurriedly waved her hands. “It’s not early. Since you’re fine, we’ll go now. We won’t disturb you!”
Since he was already back and Xiang Huai seemed to be fine, the accompanying teacher heaved a sigh of relief. Li Xuekai and the rest tactfully stood up and walked toward the door.
Li Xuekai kept sizing Xiang Huai up.
Actually, when Liang Gan mentioned the bail money earlier, he did not speak because he knew that Xue Xi was rich. If he’d mentioned that he had money, he might humiliate Xue Xi.
However, while the rest rarely went overseas and did not know about it, he knew very well that when traveling overseas, one had to be cautious at all times because Country M hated the Chinese.
Actually, what Liang Gan said was all correct.
At this time, the lawyers had already gotten off work and would be unwilling to help, unless their relationship was especially good or they gave a lot of money.
Liang Gan clearly did not intend to do her best to help them. She was thinking about getting the family business’s lawyer to help bail them out.
However, Xiang Huai was actually back already?
Moreover, he acted as though nothing had happened and said that the police knew that they had arrested the wrong person and released him… He did not believe the rest!
The evidence of the beating was there. Country M aside, even in China, it would not be so easy to settle it. However, Xiang Huai actually returned within half an hour…
Who exactly is he?
Is he really just a mathematics teacher?!
Li Xuekai sized up Xiang Huai and left their room. After the rest had left, Liang Gan was still standing there. When Xue Xi and Xiang Huai looked at her in confusion, she said, “Xiang Huai, don’t you recognize me?”
Xiang Huai: “?”
He instinctively turned to look at Xue Xi and, indeed, met the little kid’s confused gaze. He hurriedly explained, “I don’t know her.”
Liang Gan: “?”
She also said anxiously, “How can you not know me? Don’t you remember that twelve years ago, we represented China to participate in this competition? Don’t you remember that I was so nervous that I cried during the Mathematical Olympiad? You told me to not be nervous. You were sure you can get first place.”
Xiang Huai: “?”
Liang Gan’s eyes turned red as she stared at Xiang Huai with sparkling eyes. She said, “We haven’t seen each other for so many years. What did you do? When I first returned to the country, I even asked about you, but everyone lost your contact details. I didn’t expect us to meet in this way!”
Xiang Huai frowned. He could not recall who the people during the examination were. He remembered that everyone was nervous back then. He, who was 13 years old, had said arrogantly, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get first.”
Seeing that Liang Gan seemed to be trying to recall the past, Xue Xi reached out and picked up the barbecue Xiang Huai had bought.
She ate a mouthful of mutton skewers and then looked at Liang Gan with relish, as though waiting for her to say something.
As expected, Liang Gan said, “At that time, the two of us were the youngest in the team, so the most reasonable outcome was that you were in first place while I was in second place. Later on, Scanford University gave you an olive branch, but you gave up the spot and gave me the chance. Xiang Huai, I’ve always wanted to say thank you.”
Xiang Huai: “?”
He turned to look at Xue Xi again and saw that the little kid was still sitting there calmly and eating another mouthful of mutton skewers. How heartless.
The corners of his lips twitched. Actually, he could have just chased her away, but he wanted to see the little kid’s reaction.
This girl clearly had a good impression of him… However, it would probably be very difficult for the little kid to react. Just as he was about to coldly chase her away, Xue Xi suddenly stood up and said calmly, “Sorry to interrupt.”
Liang Gan turned to look at her.
Xiang Huai immediately shut his mouth and looked at her with his dark eyes.
Xue Xi said calmly, “We didn’t buy much for supper.”
Liang Gan: “?”
Xiang Huai: “?”
He had really been expectant for nothing. He had thought that the little kid would be domineering and protect her husband! In the end…
Just as he was feeling disappointed, he heard her say, “You won’t get any.”
Xue Xi looked at Liang Gan and said very straightforwardly, “So, can you leave now? Your presence here will affect my appetite.”
Liang Gan: “!!!!”
She pretended to be magnanimous and looked at Xiang Huai. “Is this your girlfriend? Indeed, she’s young and doesn’t know how to be polite. It’s easy for her to misunderstand. However, Student, don’t be unhappy. I’m just a little excited to see my old classmate. Xiang Huai and I are really just old classmates!”
She stood up and puffed out her chest. She then said meaningfully, “Xiang Huai, since I’m in the way here, I won’t disturb you. Why don’t you give me a call and we’ll contact each other another day?”
