Chapter 180 Rumors
Li Wenliang finally left, and Lianyi smiled and thanked Teacher Pan:
"I heard from my classmates that it was you who accidentally revealed that Officer Li had a concubine, which made the female students defensive.
But this person is so ungentlemanly that he actually followed a female student to the bathroom. I find it hard to imagine that he is Teacher Pan’s classmate.”
"Well, we just studied together in a private school for a few years. Later, I moved to Pingbei and then went abroad to study. We didn't keep in touch. It was just a coincidence that we met again this time. I didn't expect him... Oh! If you knew, I wouldn't have invited him over!"
Teacher Pan explained somewhat awkwardly.
"As a fellow teacher, I'll say a few more words. From the way he looked at me, I felt that there was something wrong with this person. You haven't seen each other for so long, and maybe he is no longer the person you remember. Teacher Pan should be more cautious, so as not to implicate you.
You also know that Elder Wu has never liked our teacher to have any connection with those three forces..."
He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but his meaning was very clear.
Pan Wenbin lowered his eyes and nodded, looking as if he had learned a lesson, then he left as if he was escaping.
In the instant he turned around, his face fell, even a little ferocious, and Lian Yi saw the other person's expression clearly in the reflection of the window glass.
She just curled her lips in a smile and went back to see other guests off.
After the school anniversary celebration ended successfully, rumors about teacher Pan Wenbin spread privately.
The rumor was very unpleasant, saying that Pan Wenbin used his identity as a teacher to pimp for his old classmate who was an officer.
He introduced the school teacher to the other party, but the teacher ignored the officer. The officer actually followed his classmate to the girls' restroom and was caught by another teacher.
For a time, Pan Wenbin's reputation took a sharp turn for the worse, especially the female classmates all avoided him, and the male students were even more direct, kicking balls at people, throwing stones... all kinds of tricks, making it impossible for Pan Wenbin to attend classes normally.
The students of Yimin University are not easy to deal with. There are many powerful family children among them. They jointly demanded that Teacher Pan resign.
Pan Wenbin didn't expect that he would shoot himself in the foot. Not only did he fail to win over Li Wenliang, but he also got himself into trouble. He could only explain to the school that he had never done such a thing.
The school also arranged for someone to conduct an investigation, and Lianyi was among those questioned.
"On the day of the school celebration, Teacher Pan did introduce me to Officer Li Wenliang. We just said hello briefly."
Lianyi said in front of Pan Wenbin.
Pan Wenbin could only nod in acknowledgement. After all, many people saw the three of them meeting each other at that time.
"After that, Officer Li Wenliang wanted to invite me to dance the first dance, but I refused. He was a little unhappy at the time and said that I didn't give him face..."
When Lianyi said this, she glanced at Pan Wenbin, and the corner of the other's mouth twitched.
"For Mr. Pan's sake, I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so I agreed to dance with him for the second dance...
But later, I was called away by a female classmate to deal with something, so I didn't get to dance with her. As for Officer Li going to the girls' restroom, I heard about it from Teacher Zhao."
Lian Yi paused for a moment, then continued:
"I personally believe in the character of Teacher Pan. He told me that Officer Li had just met him. Although they were classmates before, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. So what Officer Li did should have nothing to do with Teacher Pan."
The teacher who asked the question frowned after hearing this.
Pan Wenbin's face was a little distorted, and he couldn't get angry, because Lianyi was telling the truth and explained everything for him, fully believing in his character.
However, anyone with a brain can hear that Pan Wenbin's act of inviting Li Wenliang, a friend he had not seen for many years, to the school anniversary was very hasty and inappropriate, not to mention that it involved female students, which makes people have to think more.
Afterwards, Teacher Zhao was also called in for questioning, and the final result was that Pan Wenbin resigned voluntarily.
When Lianyi knew the result, the corners of her lips curved up.
Three days later, Pan Wenbin happened to meet Lianyi at the wonton stall opposite Yimin University.
"Teacher Wu!"
"Pan Wenbin, you're here to eat wontons too."
Lianyi asked the question with a smile, as if nothing had happened, but the title explained a lot.
"I came here specifically to see Teacher Wu."
"Come to see me, what's the matter?"
"I'm about to leave Pingbei. Before I leave, I want to invite Teacher Wu to dinner. Thank you for speaking for me."
"You're welcome. I believe in Mr. Pan and what he said is true. You were implicated mainly by Officer Li this time."
Lianyi did not accept the other party's invitation, but just felt sorry for the other party.
"I'm also at fault in this matter. I haven't seen him for a long time and I thought he was still the same. I invited him here just to show off the school I work for. I didn't expect him to do something like this!"
“It’s not your fault!”
"Because of him, I can't make it in Pingbei, so I want to go back to Lingnan first. Among all the teachers in the school, only Teacher Wu is willing to believe in me and speak for me. So before I leave, I want to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude. I hope you won't refuse."
Pan Wenbin said sincerely.
"this…"
Lianyi pretended to hesitate for a while before reluctantly agreeing.
"Since you're thanking me, I'll choose the place. Is that convenient for you?"
Pan Wenbin nodded, then said apologetically:
"I'm treating you because I hope you enjoy the meal, but I'm really short of money, so I might feel a little burdened if I go to a place that's too high-end."
"Of course. There's a ballroom dance this weekend at the Carmen Ballroom. I happen to have two tickets. The drinks are free. Can you treat me to a steak?"
"I'm a little embarrassed that I'm asking you to spend money."
"The ticket my friend gave me is my way of fulfilling my wish for you."
Ripple said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll listen to Teacher Wu."
After finalizing the matter, Pan Wenbin left in a hurry.
Lianyi looked at the other person's back and narrowed her eyes.
Pan Wenbin turned the corner and went to meet Li Wenliang.
"Wenliang, don't say I didn't help you. I've already arranged for you to catch up with the person. Whether you can catch up with him or not depends on your own ability."
"Don't worry, as long as I make an appointment with her, I have plenty of ways to tame her."
Li Wenliang licked his lips and said.
"Then what you promised me..."
"I will definitely help you."
Weekend Carmen Ballroom
Lianyi dressed up specially this time, with a completely different outfit from usual, and entered the dance hall early. She hid in another box on the second floor and looked at the entrance downstairs.
The first to arrive was Li Wenliang, accompanied by a guard. He looked around, then, with a smug look on his face, went straight to the box on the second floor.
Lianyi waited for a while, but Pan Wenbin did not show up. She was now 100% sure that this was a trap set by the other party.
