Alika's case was difficult to handle. Chang Rihui negotiated for many days, but the client still insisted that there was nothing to talk about unless Fei Meiying went to see him.
Upon receiving the news of his father's discharge from the hospital, Chang Rihui suppressed his excitement and stayed a few more days, but still couldn't persuade the person involved to change their mind.
So, carrying the person he had picked up from outside Chang Meiying's apartment, he hurriedly flew home.
"Kang Gan?"
Chang Rihui brought back an unexpected person, Kang Gan, Chang Meiying's classmate and the department's perennial number one student.
The Kang family has been local Chinese for three generations. By his generation, apart from skin color, they were no different from the local white people.
Kang Gan always wore glasses and was dressed as a bookish nerd who was not good at talking. When Chang Meiying first met him, she mistook him for a student studying abroad from China and was very friendly. However, Kang Gan outperformed her in the exam, which aroused the girl's competitive spirit, and she secretly started to compete with him.
Chang Rihui was in a hurry to see Chang Xingwang, so he left the person he had picked up with Chang Meiying.
"He, Kang Gan, is a classmate of yours. He beat that guy up again after you did, and refused to admit his mistake. Now he has no choice but to come and rely on you!"
Chang Meiying: ...Why did you come to rely on me!
I've decided to start doing nothing and be a good daughter to my parents.
Chang Rihui hurriedly went out, leaving only her and Kang Gan at the scene. Faced with this sudden trouble, Chang Meiying had no choice but to find out what had happened.
Chang Meiying was puzzled: "I had a student visa, so I got into trouble and was banned from entering the country. You are a citizen of this country, where else can you go if you don't stay in your own country?"
Kang Gan said seriously, "My case is not over yet. My cousin, who is the lawyer in charge of this matter, has calculated that I have a 70% chance of winning. However, his mother's family is a member of the school's board of directors, and they have already put pressure on me through the board to force me to suspend my studies!"
Now the two of them have ended up in the same situation.
Chang Meiying was furious. "It's understandable that I hit someone. So the odds are fifty-fifty."
He inexplicably attacked someone, yet he still had a 70% chance of winning. Heaven is unfair!
Chang Meiying glanced at him and asked the question that had been bothering her.
Kang Gan's eyes were calm and rational: "After the assault, I contacted Asian students at the school to testify that Smith's motives were impure. By the time I left the country, a total of 37 students were willing to testify in court, and 93 students from other departments were willing to write a joint letter. My chances of winning are very high!"
Depend on!
Chang Meiying cursed in displeasure.
In her memory, most of her classmates, who were also from Asian countries, had indifferent faces and didn't care about anything that didn't concern them. The more they paid a huge price to get from a poor and backward country to the developed America, the more they cherished their future.
They were willing to risk everything to stand up for Kang Gan, so weren't they worried about incurring Smith's retaliation?
Kang Gan pushed down his glasses, a cruel glint in his eyes: "Initially, I didn't intend to cooperate. In their eyes, their studies and future were more important than anything else. But I also told them frankly that Asians in the department have repeatedly humiliated Smith. Even if you and I don't get into school, they won't escape."
Threat, intimidation.
Chang Meiying opened her mouth slightly. How could she think that Kang Gan was just a bookworm who knew how to read books?
Look closer, is he a bookworm?
Extremely brutal.
No wonder they grew up in a capitalist country.
When Chang Meiying got into trouble, even though she was implicated by a fellow villager who didn't cherish her, she didn't intend to settle scores with him.
Kang Gan inexplicably went and started hitting people, and then ruthlessly dragged everyone else down with him. He's really something...
Chang Meiying couldn't find a suitable word to describe Kang Gan because she really couldn't understand Kang Gan's actions.
You think he's stupid?
He forms cliques after he fights; he doesn't fight unprepared battles.
You think he's not stupid?
He gave up a promising future to inexplicably assault someone, thus offending Smith.
Chang Meiying asked him, "You came to China with my third brother. Do you have any relatives? If not, you can only stay at my house temporarily."
Kang Gan thought for a moment. His grandfather's half-brother and his family were still in China, but he just didn't want to talk about it.
"No!"
Chang Meiying frowned and began to make arrangements: "How about this, you find a room on the first floor of our house to stay in, and wait..."
What are we waiting for?
His case hasn't been decided yet, so why did he come to China?
Chang Meiying suddenly noticed something she had been overlooking and looked at Kang Gan in surprise. Had Kang Gan taken the wrong medicine?
I don't understand it, and I don't want to understand it. For the sake of our classmate, I'll let him go in a few days!
Also, why did Third Brother bring this guy back?
I'm not familiar with him.
Kang Gan happily settled into the Chang family's home, consciously ignoring Chang Meiying's displeased expression.
*
Chang Xingwang was discharged from the hospital and recovered. Chef Qiao and Old Man Duan concluded that his health had returned to normal.
In this way, more than half a month passed.
One day, Kang Gan went out and brought back some delicious food for Chang Meiying, and she was surprised to find out.
Why hasn't this person gone back yet!
In just over half a month, Kang Gan has become very popular with both the Zhou and Chang families and is highly regarded by the elders on both sides.
Chang Meiying: ...Approval? What does an outsider like him need approval for?
Also, his case in Amelica isn't over yet, isn't he going back to deal with it?
Chang Meiying had a lot of questions she wanted to discuss with Kang Gan, so Chang Shuying called her aside to talk.
Chang Shuying asked cautiously, "Meiying, what is your relationship with Kang Gan...?"
Kang Gan was brought back from abroad by Chang Rihui and stayed at the Chang family's house for more than half a month. Everyone thought that he had a close relationship with Chang Meiying, and out of love for Chang Meiying, they were very friendly to him.
Chang Meiying immediately realized that their relationship had been misunderstood and explained without hesitation.
"Sister, what are you all thinking! I have absolutely nothing to do with him! I don't even know why Third Brother brought him back. I'm just doing this because we're in the same boat. He has no relatives in Beijing, so as a foreigner, he has no choice but to stay at our house for the time being."
“I thought she would leave in a few days. After all, his case in Arimica wasn’t over. If he didn’t go back, he would lose the case, and how would he ever be able to work in Arimica again? I had no idea that he would still be gone after so long!”
Chang Shuying bit her lip lightly. She had also been in a relationship before. Maybe, she thought, maybe this Kang classmate might have a crush on her younger sister.
Chang Shuying voiced her guess, and Chang Meiying exploded.
"Sister, about him and me... you think he... you can't possibly like me! I would never like him!"
Chang Meiying never imagined that she would end up with Kang Gan. Kang Gan had taken first place from her, so he could only be her competitor.
Chang Meiying envisioned a handsome man with a gentle temperament; she disliked a bookish nerd like Kang Gan, who was extremely ruthless when he got into a fight.
Chang Shuying chuckled: "Impossible? I thought you..."
Chang Meiying snapped, "Sister—"
Behind the two men, a glint flashed in Kang Gan's glasses.
