Shui Ze High School.
After the last class in the afternoon, it was dinner time.
Many students rushed to the cafeteria to eat.
Xu Muyan, however, took this time to go to a milk tea shop outside the school.
She still owed Wang Haoran a cup of milk tea.
Coming here at this moment was, of course, to fulfill her promise.
But giving Wang Haoran the milk tea in person made Xu Muyan a little shy.
Wang Haoran had taken the afternoon off and would only come for Evening Self-Study.
Xu Muyan wanted to buy the milk tea during this time and put it in Wang Haoran's desk.
That way, when Wang Haoran arrived and found the milk tea in his desk, he would know it was from her.
Xu Muyan ordered two cups of Mandarin Duck Milk Tea.
She didn't know what flavor Wang Haoran liked, so she could only order what she liked.
There was also a discount for two cups of Mandarin Duck Milk Tea, making it a bit cheaper.
While Xu Muyan was waiting for the shop owner to make the milk tea, a police car stopped by the roadside.
The car window opened, revealing a head; it was Father Xu.
"Yanyan!"
Xu Muyan turned around, ran over, and said with a smile, "Dad, why are you here?"
"I have something to do, and I saw you passing by, so I called out to you."
The father and daughter chatted.
"Beautiful lady, your two cups of Mandarin Duck Milk Tea are ready." The shop owner behind called out to Xu Muyan.
Xu Muyan went to get the milk tea and then said to Father Xu, "Dad, do you want some? Should I order a cup for you?"
"I don't drink the stuff you young people drink, it's too sweet." Father Xu shook his head, then said teasingly:
"Just now I think I heard the shop owner say this is called Mandarin Duck Milk Tea. You ordered two cups, you can't possibly drink them all yourself, right? Which boy did you buy the other cup for?"
"Dad, you're so nosy." Xu Muyan complained.
"You made a bet with Chu Bai a while ago, you didn't lose, did you? Are you his girlfriend now?" Father Xu suddenly remembered something.
"Of course not, that guy bragged he could get into the top ten in the class, but he ended up getting last place." Talking about this, Xu Muyan found it amusing.
"No way, last place? Didn't you say he improved a lot?" Father Xu said in surprise.
"Dad, to be honest with you, Chu Bai's grades were all from cheating. He also wanted to cheat to win the bet with me and trick me into being his girlfriend. This person is too hateful." Xu Muyan said angrily.
"Cheating? That's impossible." Father Xu was a little disbelieving.
"I'm telling the truth. If Wang Haoran hadn't helped me, he might have succeeded in cheating."
"Wang Haoran?"
"He's my classmate."
"That name rings a bell. I think I remember you mentioning him. His family is quite wealthy, a rich second generation," Father Xu frowned slightly.
"Yeah, he gets picked up and dropped off by a Cullinan every day for school. His family is really rich."
"Stay away from people like that, understand?"
"Why?"
"Just listen to me, you won't go wrong. There aren't many good rich second generations."
"Dad, you can't just lump everyone together. Wang Haoran is really nice. He's good at studying, good-looking, and sings well..." Xu Muyan's lips curved into an unintentional smile as she listed Wang Haoran's good points.
Hearing this, Father Xu's frown deepened:
"Yanyan, you don't like this Wang Haoran, do you?"
"No, no, absolutely not. How could I possibly like him?" Xu Muyan immediately denied it.
Father Xu, being observant, noticed the subtle signs.
"Yanyan, I'd rather you like Chu Bai than fall for that Wang Haoran."
"Dad, what did Wang Haoran do to you? You seem to have a lot of hostility towards him," Xu Muyan furrowed her brows slightly.
"Don't talk to that Wang Haoran anymore. It's best if you don't say a single word to him," Father Xu became serious.
"Why?!"
"Just listen to me, and you'll be fine."
"Dad, you haven't even met Wang Haoran. Why are you so prejudiced against him?"
"All rich second generations are the same," Father Xu's expression was a bit unpleasant.
He had been working in the police station for over twenty years and had handled too many cases of rich second generations bullying women.
He utterly detested the term "rich second generation."
"Dad, you're being unreasonable!"
Xu Muyan was a little angry. She held the milk tea and turned to walk back towards the school.
Behind her, Father Xu's voice came:
"Yanyan, remember my words. If you don't listen, I will personally go find trouble with that Wang Haoran!"
Outside the hospital.
Wang Haoran came out accompanied by Tang Bingyun.
In fact, Wang Haoran hadn't suffered any injuries during the struggle with the thugs.
However, Tang Bingyun was worried and insisted on taking Wang Haoran for a check-up.
As the two just exited the hospital entrance, a middle-aged woman approached them.
She was the lawyer Tang Bingyun had hired.
This lawyer had just finished handling a matter at the police station.
She briefly explained the situation to Tang Bingyun.
The thin men were employees of the Jade Factory. They had accumulated a lot of debt from gambling, which was why they had the idea of stealing.
However, the theft was unsuccessful and they were discovered by the security guard.
In their panic, they had stumbled into the gambling stones shed.
"Lawyer An, I'll leave the prosecution to you," Tang Bingyun instructed the lawyer.
Cases like this are usually handled by public prosecutors, but Tang Bingyun didn't want to let that petty thief off easily.
The Jade Factory had an internal thief, and it had caused such a big commotion.
The Tang family's business could be affected by this. It was definitely impossible to get a gambler to pay compensation.
So, they would have to atone in other ways.
"Miss Tang, don't worry, leave it to me," Lawyer An nodded confidently, then looked at Wang Haoran and praised:
"Young man, you are truly brave!"
She had already learned the entire process of the incident and knew about Wang Haoran's heroic act of catching the thief.
"It was alright," Wang Haoran smiled.
"Looking at you, you should still be in school, right?" Lawyer An found Wang Haoran very likable, so she asked a few more questions.
"I'm in the third year of high school at Shui Ze High School."
"What a coincidence, my daughter also studies at this school, and she's also in her third year of high school."
"Really? What's your daughter's name?" Wang Haoran asked curiously.
Lawyer An looked over forty, but she was still charming. She must have been a great beauty when she was young.
With such good genes, her daughter must also be very beautiful.
Of course, Wang Haoran was interested in knowing.
"My daughter's name is Xu Muyan. Do you know her?" Lawyer An said.
"She's in my class!!!" Wang Haoran's eyes widened.
Things in this world were truly coincidental.
He actually met Xu Muyan's mother here.
"So you and Yanyan are classmates," Lawyer An was also surprised.
"Yes, actually, I should have realized. Aunt An, you are so beautiful, only you could give birth to such a beautiful daughter like Xu Muyan. She's the School Belle at our school."
"I'm old now," Lawyer An smiled, and her gaze towards Wang Haoran became much friendlier.
