Professor Yang Ning released Yang Chao’s ear upon hearing his response. However, her past experiences with her nephew’s troubles made her still somewhat uncertain. She questioned him, “Are you absolutely certain you didn’t instigate any trouble this time?”
“Don’t worry, Auntie, ” yang cnao assertecl nrnuy. “1 genume1Y nau notmng to do with this altercation.”
As Xia Wan scanned the individuals on both sides of the corridor, her gaze fixed on a familiar figure.
It was Lu Lin, the individual who had visited her hometown to demand the engagement token from their past.
A faint smile touched Xia Wan’s lips. Her trip to the capital had included an inquiry into Lu Lin’s current circumstances, but she hadn’t anticipated this unexpected encounter.
‘Yang Chao, you were the one who declined my offer. I offered you an extra hundred yuan, but you failed to appreciate the gesture and turned me down,” Lu Lin exclaimed, standing up and pointing an accusing finger at Yang Chao.
Yang Chao turned to face him.
“Need I remind you of the offensive language you used at that time? If someone insulted your parents and family, wouldn’t you have retaliated?” Yang Chao countered.
Lu Lin huffed disdainfully. “Even if I had brought your entire family along, you were the one who initiated the attack. My brother sustained severe injuries. There’s no way this matter will be resolved easily.”
He then glanced at Professor Yang Ning and was about to say something when he noticed Xia Wan.
He pointed at her.
Back when he had visited the Xia family to dissolve the engagement, he had been misled by Xia Ru. Only upon returning home did he discover that the individual responsible for arranging the engagement was named Xia Wan.
Xia Wan was the girl who had thwarted him during his visit to the county town.
She had played tricks on him, treating him like a fool. She had even informed his grandfather about the incident, leading to him being scolded and grounded for an entire month.
That month had been a torturous confinement, and he had yearned for freedom.
Finally released, he had intended to take his friends out for some relaxation and karaoke. Yet, he had ended up at a KTV without available rooms.
In the past, people had always offered him a private room when he showered them with money. However, Yang Chao had refused him.
Now, while at the police station, he encountered Xia Wan once more.
In that moment, Lu Lin didn’t harbor as much resentment toward Yang Chao. His anger was primarily directed at Xia Wan.
Xia Wan responded with a smile. “Lu Lin, it’s been quite some time. It appears you haven’t improved at all. You always bring a group of people with you, yet you can’t seem to win any fights.”
“If I were you, I’d be too embarrassed to show my face. I’d just stay home and retire. ”
It was only then that Yang Chao noticed two girls standing behind his aunt, and one of them seemed to know Lu Lin.
He lowered his voice and inquired of Professor Yang Ning, “Auntie, who is this person? How does he know Lu Lin? It feels like there’s a grudge between them.”
Professor Yang Ning also felt perplexed. She explained, “I don’t know either. I only met Wanwan at school today. Zhou En, who is standing beside her, used to be my student. They both hail from the same hometown.”
“Although I don’t know Wanwan well, I believe she’s a good-hearted child. There must be a reason for the animosity between Lu Lin and Wanwan. Lu Lin must have done something wrong.”
Yang Chao remained speechless. When did his aunt develop such a strong fondness for a girl? She was usually quite stern with her nephew.
Lu Lin, provoked by Xia Wan’s remarks, lunged toward her, intending to confront her physically.
“Stop!” a police officer immediately commanded.
Before the police could intervene, Xia Wan swiftly kicked Lu Lin away.
Xia Wan blinked innocently and addressed the police officer. “Officer, you all witnessed it. He attacked me first, and I merely defended myself. I didn’t expect him to be so frail that a gentle kick sent him crashing into the wall. ”
The police officer appeared taken aback. They had indeed witnessed Xia Wan’s light kick, and it should not have resulted in such serious injuries to Lu Lin.
Yang Chao burst into laughter. “Lu Lin, you’re utterly pathetic. You got kicked by a girl and ended up plastered against the wall. Are you trying to extort money from me?”
Lu Lin felt a discomfort in his chest. The spot where Xia Wan had kicked him was particularly painful..
