After the last class of the afternoon ended, it was now time for dinner.
Many students went to the cafeteria as usual.
But, Xu Muyan instead took advantage of the time to visit the off-campus milk tea shop.
She still owed Wang Haoran a cup of milk tea.
Going there right now, was obviously, to fulfil the promise.
However, as for giving Wang Haoran the milk tea in person. . . it was inevitable that Xu Muyan would feel slightly embarrassed. She had never done such a thing before in her life!
Wang Haoran had taken a leave of absence in the afternoon, and will not come back until later for the self-study session.
Xu Muyan wanted to use this time to buy the milk tea and secretly put it on Wang Haoranâs desk.
When Wang Haoran comes and finds the milk tea on his desk, he would know it was from her, and she wouldnât have to go through the embarrassment of actually giving it to him face to face.
Xu Muyan ordered two cups of mandarin duck milk tea.
She didnât know what flavour Wang Haoran liked, so she could only order what she liked.
There was also a discount offer if someone brought two cups of mandarin duck milk tea at once, which made it cheaper.
While Xu Muyan was waiting for the store to finish making her milk tea, a licensed bureau car stopped by the roadside. It was the type commonly used by police officers in Qingling.
The car window opened, revealing a face, it was Xu Muyanâs father.
âYan Yan!â
Xu Muyan looked back in surprise, before running over, and speaking with a smile, âDad! Why are you here?â
âI have some work from the bureau. I saw you when I was going by so I called out.â
The two father and daughter chatted. Creating a lively scene.
âBeauty, your two cups of mandarin duck milk tea are ready.â The storeowner at the back shouted at Xu Muyan.
Xu Muyan went to get the milk tea and then asked her Father Xu, âDad, do you want a drink? Do you want me to order one for you?â
âAigo. I canât drink what you young people drink, itâs too sweet. I might get diabetes.â Father Xu shook his head in mock horror, before suddenly throwing a pointed question, âI seemed to hear from the store just now that whatever this Mandarin Duck Milk Tea is. . . you have ordered two cups. You canât possibly drink both of them yourself, right? Which boy did you buy the other cup for?â
âAgh. Dad, you are so gossipy!â Xu Muyan complained.
âYou made a bet with Chu Bai some time ago. You didnât lose, right? Could it be that youâre now his girlfriend?â Father Xu abruptly remembered something.
âNo way, that guy bragged about getting in the top ten in the class, but ended up being last place in the mock test.â Speaking of this, Xu Muyan felt amused and laughed inwardly.
âWhat, last place? Didnât you say that he made great progress?â Father Xu said in shock.
âDad, let me tell you the truth. Chu Baiâs grades came from cheating, he even dared to bet with me. He simply wanted to deceive me! Such a person is too hateful.â Xu Muyan said angrily, her dainty lips pursing into a pout.
âCheating? Thatâs impossible.â Father Xu didnât believe it.
âWhat I said is a fact. If Wang Haoran hadnât helped me, he might have succeeded in cheating.â
âWang Haoran?â
âMy classmate.â
âHm. I have some impressions of this name. Hearing you mention it. . . Iâm starting to remember. His family is quite rich, and he is a rich second-generation, isnât he?â Father Xu frowned.
âYes, he comes and goes to the school by a Cullinan every day too.â
âTch. You should stay away from such people, you know?â
âWhy?â
âListening to me, will not harm you. No rich second-generation are good people.â
âDad, lumping all of them together in one go isnât right. Wang Haoran is very nice. He studies well, looks good, and sings well too. . .â Xu Muyan smiled inadvertently and recounted Wang Haoran in her head in detail, all of his strengths and abilities.
When Father Xu heard the soft words, his brows became even tighter, âYan Yan, do you have feelings for this Wang Haoran?â
âNo, no, no, no, how could I like him. . .â Xu Muyan denied it immediately.
Father Xuâs experienced eyes saw through her in a flash.
âDaughter, I would rather you like Chu Bai than that Wang Haoran.â
âHuh? Why do you seem to be very hostile towards him, dad? I donât think he has provoked you before.â Xu Muyan frowned lightly.
âJust donât bother with that Wang Haoran in the future, itâs best if you stop talking to him. â Father Xu became serious.
âWhy?!â
âYou should listen to me.â
âDad! You have never even met Wang Haoran, so why are you so prejudiced against him?â
âThe rich second-generation are all the same.â Father Xuâs expression was a little unsightly.
He has been in the bureau for more than 20 years, and he has dealt with too many cases of the rich second-generation using women and then tossing them away.
For the three words ârich second-generationâ, he was filled with an extreme hatred unbefitting of his post as a supposedly impartial police officer.
âDad, you are being unreasonable!â
Xu Muyan became a little angry, so she took the milk tea, turned around and walked back to school.
Behind him, Father Xuâs voice rang out.
âYan Yan, remember my words. If you donât listen, Iâll go find that Wang Haoran myself!â
âŚ
[At the hospital entrance.]
Wang Haoran slowly walked out, being accompanied by Tang Bingyun.
During the fight with the thief, Wang Haoran didnât suffer any injuries.
However, Tang Bingyun was still not at ease and insisted on taking Wang Haoran to do a check-up.
As soon as the two left the entrance of the hospital, a middle-aged woman greeted them outside.
She is the lawyer Tang Bingyun hired. A lawyer that just came out of the police bureau with important news related to the armed assault the previous night.
The well-dressed woman briefly explained the situation to Tang Bingyun.
Apparently, that thin man was an employee of a jade factory. He owed a lot of money because of his uncontrolled gambling, so he had the idea of stealing some precious jade.
However, the theft failed and alerted security.
In a panic, he broke into the stone gambling establishment.
âLawyer An, Iâll leave the prosecution to you.â Tang Bingyun lightly urged the woman.
Usually, public prosecution lawyers were sent to handle these cases, but Tang Bingyun didnât want to let the little thief go so easily. She wanted him to pay the price for what he did!
A thief in the jade factory causing such a big disturbance. . .
What if the Tang family business was affected by this situation? Furthermore, itâs definitely impossible for a gambler to handle losing possible profits.
The other party would atone for their sins. Sheâd make sure of it.
âDonât worry, Miss Tang. Leave it to me.â Lawyer An nodded confidently, then looked at Wang Haoran and said with appreciation in her eyes, âBoy, you are really brave!â
She had already understood the whole process of the incident and knew about Wang Haoranâs heroic handling of the hostage situation and how he bravely restrained the thief.
âItâs not a big deal.â Wang Haoran said with a smile.
âLooking at you, you should still be studying, right?â Lawyer An found Wang Haoran very pleasing to the eye, so she asked a few more questions.
âIâm in the third year of Shui Zhe Middle School.â
âTruly a coincidence. My daughter is studying in that school too, and she is also in the third year.â
âReally? May I know your daughterâs name?â Wang Haoran asked curiously.
This lawyer An looks over forty years old, yet her charm has not faded. It was obvious that she had once been a very beautiful woman in her early years.
With such good genes, her daughter should not be too bad either.
There was no reason for Wang Haoran to be uninterested.
âMy daughterâs name is Xu Muyan, do you know her?â Lawyer An asked.
âWow, Iâm in the same class as her!!â Wang Haoranâs eyes widened.
A coincidence indeed.
He actually managed to meet Xu Muyanâs mother here.
âSo you and Yan Yan are classmates.â Lawyer An was also surprised.
âI should have realized. Aunt An, you are so beautiful. It makes sense that only you can give birth to a daughter as beautiful as Xu Muyan. Did you know? She was actually nominated unanimously by the entire student body as the school flower.â
âHaha. My daughter is beautiful indeed, but no need to flatter this old ladyâŚâ Lawyer An smiled happily and looked at Wang Haoran with a very kind gaze.
