The reason for dropping out was that he missed too many core courses and failed too many courses.

How could this be the diligent and hardworking young man she knew before? She no longer knew him.

Pei Xuan seemed to have not expected that she would investigate him. After being exposed, he was not ashamed, but angry: "You investigated me?"

After questioning, he seemed to realize that his tone was not right, so he softened his attitude and said with a bit of helplessness and pampering:

"An An, my story is a long one. I will explain it to you later. I will apply for further studies and I will definitely be worthy of you. Now let's deal with Xiao Yu's problem first."

"What does her business have to do with me? I don't have that much free time."

Pei Xuan ignored the deep desire in her eyes, grabbed her arm and said anxiously: "An An, don't be so cold, Xiaoyu is my sister, and she is also your sister, we are all family, you help her is to help me."

"How do you want me to help?"

"Go talk to your friend and tell her not to pay back the money Xiaoyu owes you, and give her some good resources. She works really hard, and I believe she will be able to achieve something great if she gets the chance."

"I'm sorry! I'm not that shameless."

An Hongling felt so upset that she stood up and was about to leave.

Pei Xuan held her back, frowning as if he was a little impatient:

"An An, can you please stop being jealous? I've already said that Xiao Yu is just my adopted sister. I helped her only because her current appearance is so similar to your helpless yet strong appearance back then..."

Seven years ago, An Hongling was eighteen years old. In order to save money for her studies, she found a job as a helper in the tofu factory run by the street office under the management of her grandfather Pei Xuan.

They also met that year.

Pei Xuan witnessed An Hongling's diligence and tenacity. Her unyielding spirit infected him, and she slowly walked closer to his heart.

The next year they secretly fell in love, and later agreed to take the college entrance examination together, and then get married and start a family after graduation.

But now that graduation is around the corner, this man talks about the other girl every other sentence, shows no interest in her recent situation, and doesn't even answer her questions directly.

An Hongling suddenly couldn't see him anymore.

"If you want to help her, just help her! Stop using the excuse that she looks like me. There is nothing similar between her and me." An Hongling pushed him away and left.

Pei Xuan chased after her in two steps, regardless of her feelings, grabbed her arm, and started to rebuke her seriously:

"Stop! How did you become like this? You used to be very kind and reasonable. Are you going to ruin an innocent girl's life just because you are jealous?"

An Hongling couldn't break free and could only vent her grievances and anger loudly:

"Pei Xuan, who of us has changed? Are you going to continue to play dumb? Six years! You brought a few people who knew I didn't like to eat rotten food to force me to stand up for another girl. Who do you think I am?"

When Pei Xuan saw the tears in her eyes, he felt guilty for a second, but then he immediately took it for granted:

"It's just a few dishes, right? Do you know how many people are still starving? Now that you're receiving government subsidies, you've become a bad person, right?"

At this moment, An Hongling suddenly felt very tired. When some people don't care about you, it's hard to talk to them.

"If you think of me like this, then let's just... forget it, okay?"

Pei Xuan's eyes showed anger and surprise: "What do you mean..."

Before he could finish his words, a middle-aged woman with an aggressive look suddenly rushed over from behind him. After pushing him away, the woman rushed to An Hongling and slapped her in the face without saying a word.

"Pa——" An Hongling was slow to react and could not hear any sound with half of his ear.

"You are a little devil, a troublemaker. I have caught you, right?"

Pei Xuan opened his eyes wide in shock. When he realized what was happening, he immediately went up to pull the woman away and said, "Mom, why are you hitting someone?"
