Zhao Yuxiang woke up in terror, recalling what had happened before she lost consciousness. She trembled all over, never expecting to be in her own bed at home.

Was what happened last night a dream?

Yuan Zhuan placed the breakfast he bought on the table. Yuan Zhu was already sitting up straight, ready to eat. When she saw Zhao Yuxiang come out, she said, "Mom, come and eat after you've washed up. Uncle Liu will take you to the hospital for a check-up later. Zhu was beaten last night, so I won't feel at ease until she gets checked out."

"What? Bamboo got hit? Bamboo, come here, let Mommy take a look." Zhao Yuxiang rushed forward to hug the child and examined her from head to toe for a while. Yuan Zhu let her mother examine her. It hurt a little, but she could still bear it.

"Mom, don't cry." The little one wiped away his mother's tears. "Sister's here, don't be afraid."

Yuan Zhuan met the little guy's adoring gaze and smiled helplessly. From the moment he opened his eyes in the morning and saw her, the little guy had been looking at her like that. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he had to admit that it felt really good to be admired by a loved one.

"Zhuanzhuan, about yesterday..." Zhao Yuxiang checked Yuan Zhuan again, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was alright.

"Mom, let's talk about it after dinner."

"Oh, okay."

However, Zhao Yuxiang ultimately didn't have a chance to ask.

The Liu couple came to pick up the person as soon as the bowls and chopsticks were put down.

Yang Ailan was surprised that Yuan Zhuan would call, and she quickly came over to answer the phone.

"Zhuanzhuan? How's school? Are you adjusting well?"

"It's going well, everyone's adapting very well..." After explaining the situation at the shop, Yang Ailan understood.

"It's alright, Zhuanzhuan, don't worry. Aunt Yang will make a call later, and it'll be fine in a bit."

Yuan Zhuan only briefly mentioned Feng Sanshui's matter, and Yang Ailan understood perfectly well.

"Aunt Yang, you don't need to worry about Feng Sanshui's matter. I have a way to handle it." Since Yang Ailan treated her like one of her own, Yuan Zhuan didn't intend to hide anything from her.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ailan paused for a moment, then agreed.

She knew Yuan Zhuan's abilities. Since those people made the first move, it was only right for Zhuan Zhuan to use some means, since they wouldn't die anyway.

The relevant departments handled the situation very quickly. When Zhao Yuxiang returned from the hospital, the seals and penalty notices on the door were all gone.

The Liu couple were baffled, as was Zhao Yuxiang. When neighbors came up to ask, Liu's mother turned them away, and they could only awkwardly walk home, looking back every few steps.

“We might have misjudged Yu Xiang’s family; they’re not ordinary people. You saw how obsequious Feng Sanshui was last night, just like he was bowing and scraping to his own parents. And they just took off the seal and the ticket like that, tsk…unbelievable…” Liu Ma told her husband as soon as she got home.

"Hey, mind your own business. Didn't you see that Cao Ming was also going after her? If he didn't have some ability, would a family like the Cao family associate with her? Didn't we see that lady who came to our house last time? She drove here, and that outfit probably cost us a year's salary. If a family like that is on good terms with the Yuan family, how could they be bad? I reckon Zhao's ex-husband's family, the Yuan family, must be incredibly wealthy."

Once things settled down, the couple finally came to their senses and, after careful consideration, recalled the scene when Yang Ailan had come over.

No wonder they were able to open a shop so quickly; the shop must have a huge selection of items, so how could their background be anything less than impressive?

Although Yuan Zhu had some bruises, it didn't stop him from playing at all. Liu Da was a little older and more sensible, so he told people to play in the yard and not to go out. Of course, this was also something his mother had told him to do.

Yuan Zhuan's life at school was going smoothly, if only Wei Ding and the others wouldn't bother with her so much.

"Yuan Zhuan, do you dare to go out and play with us?"

"I wouldn't dare."

"Yuan Zhuan, are you a squirrel? You're so timid."

"Maybe."

Similar conversations happened in the classroom every day, and everyone got used to it. After a while, students from other classes also found out that the new transfer student was also a privileged second-generation rich kid.

only……

"Potato, did I tell you to tell your mom to stop going to my dad? Huh?" This conversation could be heard clearly from the men's restroom on the first floor. "Have you no shame? Is your mom unwanted? She has to go after an old man like my dad? Just for his money? They're fifteen years apart, old enough to be your mom's father, why are they even getting married? Your mom is only five years younger than my older brother!"

“I don’t live with my mom. I can’t control her.” The boy’s voice was devoid of much emotion.

"Tu Du is going to get beaten up by Fu Mingle again. Let's go to the toilet upstairs."

"Why does Fu Mingle always bully Tu Du? Isn't he afraid that Tu Du's brother will beat him up when he comes back from the army?"

"Tu Du won't tell." Otherwise, he wouldn't always be bullied.

"Didn't anyone tell the teacher?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. Yes, but Fu Mingle's family started out in the coal mines and they're rumored to have connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. Even the teachers don't dare to say anything. The newly built school building was donated by Fu Mingle's father, so nobody dares to mess with him."

"Is their family that rich?"

"Yeah, otherwise how could Tu Du's mom be with him? Tu Du and his brother are both good-looking. I saw his mom when she came over last time; she looks like a celebrity."

Yuan Zhuan came out of the restroom, not wanting to get involved, but the bullying sounded like it wasn't the first time, and that was exactly what bothered her.

"Hey, you guys inside, come out!" Yuan Zhuan stood at the entrance of the men's restroom and saw five boys surrounding a tall, thin boy. One of the burly boys had a bandage wrapped around his right hand, which looked like a boxing glove.

These are professional thugs!

Tsk, what are they eating? These are all adults! Each one is almost 1.8 meters tall.

You can tell who the victim is at a glance, because even just looking at Tu Du's profile, he is really good-looking.

Fu Mingle was surprised that someone dared to disturb him while he was doing his business. However, when he saw that it was a dark-skinned and thin little girl, he laughed.

"Mind your own business and get lost!" He didn't have time to waste words with a woman.

Yuan Zhuan ignored him. "Tu Du, come with me." With that, he walked in, grabbed the boy's thin wrist, and forcefully dragged him out of the encirclement before striding away.

Perhaps it was too sudden, and no one even thought that this meddlesome little girl would actually come up to take someone away, so much so that Fu Mingle didn't react until she was almost in the aisle, shouting, "Get her back!"

The other four boys then stepped forward to grab him, but Yuan Zhuan seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He grabbed Tu Du and shoved him aside, blocking the way. He kicked the boy who had rushed to the front, and the force was so great that the boys who followed behind all fell backward and crashed into a pile.

"asshole!!"

"who is she?!!"

"I'll check."

"I've found her, I'm going to kill her!!"

"Don't worry, Brother Le, I'll go find someone right away."

After Tu Du followed Yuan Zhuan out, he didn't say a word, just silently followed along.

"What grade are you in?" As Yuan Zhuan reached the stairwell, the school bell rang. He looked around the stairwell and saw that it was almost empty.

The boy's cool and aloof features, paired with pale skin, made him both handsome and indifferent, with only numbness in his eyes.

This child is disillusioned with life!

"Thank you." The boy's long, curled eyelashes fluttered as his gaze focused on him. His handsome, smoky eyes met Yuan Zhuan's, but there was no gratitude in them, as if the person who had saved him was not the one in front of him.

Yuan Zhuan had met many kinds of people, but he had never met such a heartless and ungrateful fellow who just left like that?

A thank you?

Watching the boy's departing figure, Yuan Zhuan laughed in exasperation.
