As expected, Zhang Anxin became furious. She hated it when people said she was poor, and being unable to afford to pay compensation was one of them.
"So what if you're rich? Don't you know where your family's money came from? It all came from your mother being someone's mistress."
Zhang Anxin spent all his time by Feng's side, listening to Feng talk about the Liu family like this every day, and naturally learned it from her.
Upon hearing this, the people around exclaimed in surprise, "So Liu Anran is the daughter of a concubine! Who would have thought?"
Zhang Anxin then said, "How can I not tell? Judging from that appearance, she was born of a fox spirit."
An Ran grabbed her and started hitting her, "I'll beat you to death, you annoying brat! My father died as a general during the war. My father was a hero. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll go tell the teacher."
An Ran had practiced martial arts with An Zhi for two years, so dealing with Zhang Anxin alone was no problem for her.
Despite being a head taller than her, Zhang Anxin was completely overpowered and had no chance to fight back.
Zhang Anxin winced in pain and looked at the people beside her: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and help me!"
Then, turning to the timid Xiao Mei beside him, he said, "Didn't you say you wanted to teach her a lesson? Why haven't you done it yet?"
Xiao Mei's eyes widened and she hurriedly denied it: "I didn't."
Zhang Anxin sneered, "Didn't you tell me yesterday that you couldn't stand Liu Anran's behavior? Did you all hear that?"
The people around nodded in agreement. "That's right, Xiaomei, what are you pretending for? I hate her, I've been wanting to get rid of her for a long time. Today, that tagalong isn't here, so I'll teach her a lesson."
The female students in the girls' academy are of varying ages; for example, the one speaking now is already eight or nine years old.
She also disliked Anran and Mingming. They would fall asleep together in class, and she always felt that the teacher punished her more severely than he punished Anran.
They're clearly only doing this because they think her family is rich.
Everyone knows that An Ran's family owns a courtyard house outside the academy, a place that costs several hundred taels of silver to buy.
Xiao Mei didn't want to hit her at first, but the girl said, "If you don't hit her, you'll be next tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Xiaomei hesitated for a moment. Thinking about Anran's family, a trace of jealousy flashed through her mind. She felt that it was not worth offending these people for her sake.
Everyone shared the same goal: to take advantage of the fact that the teachers were having lunch and taking a nap to teach An Ran a lesson.
Several people pushed An Ran away from Zhang Anxin and pinned her to the ground, beating her.
These people were all older and bigger than An Ran, and even though An Ran had trained, she was no match for them.
She covered her head while cursing, "If you don't beat me to death, you're cowards. I won't let you get away with this."
Zhang Anxin got up and saw that An Ran had torn several holes in her student uniform. She was furious. "I'll beat her to death! I'll teach her to look down on people and teach her to tear my clothes!"
A little girl passing by saw that the person being beaten was An Ran, and she abandoned her friends and ran towards the boys' school.
Zhang Anxin was overjoyed to see Anran pinned to the ground, powerless to fight back. She was even angrier when she thought about how Uncle Chu always called her name instead of hers.
As Mother said, An Ran's whole family are vixens and should be beaten to death.
The dean and a group of teachers led Su Yi through the door, and their hearts skipped a beat when they heard the noisy sounds coming from the corridor.
He had a bad feeling.
Before I even went inside, I heard a small, angry voice shouting, "Get out of here! Don't bully my sister!"
He turned to look at the teacher in charge of the girls' college. The teacher looked tense, and he didn't know what was wrong either.
Su Yi naturally heard it too, and the smile on his face vanished completely. "Why aren't you leaving?"
The dean reluctantly led his people inside and saw a male student squatting down and embracing a female student. The female student's clothes were dirty, her hat was lying on the ground, and there were some scattered hairs on the ground.
This scene made him so angry that he almost lost his balance.
What are you doing?
Anxin and her group turned pale with fright when they saw the dean leading people in; they stood aside, not daring to utter a word.
Anran, who was on the ground, suddenly burst into tears, "Brother, save me! My body hurts so much! I'm going to die! Waaah! They're going to beat me to death!"
Anzhi was heartbroken, his voice trembling, "Don't be afraid, Anran, your brother will take you to the clinic."
safely……
"Uncle, my name isn't Xiaohua, it's Anran..."
Su Yi recalled the little girl with tears in her eyes, looking wronged. To confirm his guess, he strode forward and looked at the girl's face clearly. It really was her!
Seeing the injuries on her face and hands, she seemed frozen in place, unable to move. Changbai reminded her, "Master, take the young lady to see a doctor first."
Su Yi snapped out of his daze and gently pushed away An Zhi, who was about to pick up An Ran, saying, "I'll carry her."
An Ran's eyes were full of tears. When she saw someone approaching, she thought it was the teacher and screamed, refusing to be hugged, "Go away, brother, I'm scared."
Anzhi hugged her tightly, repeating over and over, "Don't be afraid, your brother is here. No one can hurt Anran."
He crouched down, picked An Ran up and carried her on his back as he ran outside. Xiao Hei, who had come to pick him up, wouldn't let him.
The dean quickly called a tutor to accompany them, while he himself observed Su Yi's demeanor from the side.
Su Yi squatted on the ground, his head filled with the heart-wrenching sound of An Ran crying. The surrounding atmosphere was quiet, and no one dared to speak.
Su Yi calmed himself down and stood up, looking at the trembling girls beside him, and said, "Shouldn't Dean Wu give me an explanation?"
The dean immediately nodded: "Yes, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give the victimized female student an explanation."
After answering softly, he turned and roared at Anxin and the others: "What exactly happened? Why did you assault someone?"
A terrified girl cried, "It's all Zhang Anxin's fault! Zhang Anxin said that Liu Anran didn't bring any followers today, and told us to teach her a lesson."
Zhang Anxin, her face pale, could only weakly explain, "I didn't..."
"You lot, go and fetch their parents right now, immediately!"
Su Yi was worried about the little girl and wanted to avenge her, so he stayed at the academy. He wanted to see how the headmaster would handle it, so he instructed Changbai, "Go and check on how the little girl is. If she needs any medicinal herbs, just go back and get them."
To demonstrate his stance and to make everyone aware of the seriousness of the matter, the dean directly suspended the teacher from teaching.
The boys' academy allowed students to study on their own, while the girls' academy was all gathered together for questioning.
Changbai chased after them and found the brother and sister who had just come out at the clinic near the academy.
The little girl cried her heart out in her brother's arms, and the doctor applied medicine to her as well; her cries were terribly pitiful.
She cried and cursed, "Waaah, Zhang Anxin is such a nasty little devil, I'll beat her to death when I get better."
Anzhi kept a tense expression on her face. After Anran was hurt again by the doctor applying the medicine, she reminded him with heartache, "Uncle, please be gentle. My sister is in a lot of pain."
"How could such a young child not be in pain after being beaten like this? Just bear with it, it will be over soon."
Changbai, hearing that it sounded so energetic, figured it hadn't been seriously injured.
After Anran finished applying the medicine, the two of them saw him. Anran cried and hiccuped, "Hiccup... Brother... Hiccup... Who is he?"
