About an hour later, Pan Yang was getting a little impatient when he finally saw Zhou Yang slowly walking towards them with a bottle of mineral water.
"Here you go." Zhou Yang handed him the water.
"What happened to your face?" Pan Yang took the water and saw a scratch on his face. The blood that had seeped out had already congealed, making it unusually noticeable on his flawless face.
Zhou Yang shook his head: "It's nothing, I just accidentally paddled. Let's go pick up Zhao Nianyang, he'll be out of school soon too."
Pan Yang looked at him, his eyes darkening slightly, before finally nodding and saying, "Okay."
That bastard actually kept it from me!
Upon arriving at the elementary school gate, I saw a group of people gathered together, and a voice from the crowd sounded strangely familiar.
"I'm not going home with you! I want to find my brother!" Zhao Nianyang's wrist was being held by An Ru, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
Children are too small to be strong, so he could only shout for help from those around him: "I don't know him! He's trying to take me away, please help me!"
An Ru's expression darkened upon hearing this, but he smiled at the people around him and said, "You're all joking. His parents are dead, and I'm his uncle. This kid is throwing a tantrum and wants his parents to come and pick him up."
The people around looked at each other, wondering who was lying.
Zhao Nianyang bit An Ru's hand in a hurry, and An Ru pushed him away in pain.
"You brat!" An Ru glared angrily at Zhao Nianyang, whom he had pushed to the ground, then glanced at the people around him and quickly put on a sad face.
“Nianyang, come home with your uncle. Your uncle can’t help with your parents’ situation. They are my own sister and brother-in-law.”
Those watching the commotion nearby actually believed it to be true and pointed at Zhao Nianyang, saying, "This kid is so disobedient. Look at his school uniform, he's already in sixth grade, how come he still doesn't know how to behave?"
"Yes, little friend, you should listen to your uncle."
Zhao Nianyang looked around at the people, her face flushed, and said, "He's not my uncle!"
"Stand up." A figure appeared behind Zhao Nianyang.
Zhao Nianyang turned around and saw that Pan Yang and Zhou Yang had walked through the crowd and were already standing next to him. He quickly got up, patted the dirt off his body, and hugged Pan Yang.
"Brother, I don't want to go with him! He wants to take me away so you can't sue him."
Zhao Nianyang was smart enough to know these things. Her little face was full of grievances as she held back her tears.
Zhou Yang patted Zhao Nianyang's head: "It's alright, we're here."
“Zhao Panyang! I’m your own uncle! How can you sue me like this!” An Ru shouted at Panyang as soon as he saw him.
Fan Yang nodded in agreement: "I am indeed sorry." This kind of scum should be poured into cement and thrown into the sea.
Of course, Anru had no idea what he was thinking. Instead, he was a little surprised that Pan Yang wasn't facing him, so he immediately straightened his back.
“For your parents’ sake, I won’t hold it against you. Have your lawyer drop the lawsuit. Yes, this is the kid who sued me. Make him drop it,” An Ru said, pointing at Zhou Yang who was standing to the side.
"Sure, but you have to give me back the money, including the house, the car, and all the shares." Pan Yang found it amusing; it seemed like An Ru's brain had been chewed up by 001.
Upon hearing this, An Ru jumped up and tried to grab Pan Yang, but Pan Yang dodged him. Then, An Ru sat on the ground and burst into tears.
Pan Yang rolled his eyes, then pulled Zhao Nianyang and Zhou Yang away.
Seeing that they had left, Anru sat on the ground, unsure whether to get up or continue, and could only slink away in disgrace.
Because he was afraid of being intercepted again, Zhao Nianyang studied at home before going to court.
Zhou Yang would definitely have to go to the hospital to work frequently, so Pan Yang naturally became the only adult in the family.
Fortunately, Zhao Nianyang is very obedient and doesn't cause trouble. It's just that it took so long for this kid to go out and buy a pencil.
Pan Yang glanced at the alarm clock hanging on the wall. Logically speaking, the convenience store wasn't far, and the child should be back in half an hour, but it had already been almost an hour.
001 suggested, "Host, why don't you go find Zhao Nianyang?"
Pan Yang sat on the sofa and looked at the door: "I'm not going, it's not like I'll get lost."
"But An Ru has been looking for you, hasn't he? What if An Ru finds out about him?"
"..." Pan Yang stood up, picked up his keys and prepared to go out, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Nianyang who was about to knock.
The child was dirty, but when he saw Pan Yang, he smiled, took out a bouquet of flowers from his coat, and held it up to Pan Yang.
"Brother, this is for you!" Zhao Nianyang said proudly. "I helped a florist, and she gave it to me. I wanted to give it to you."
Looking at the somewhat wilted flowers, and then at Zhao Nianyang, who was grinning foolishly, she took the flowers and said, "Thanks."
"You're welcome, brother! You're the best, brother. When I grow up, I'll earn lots of money for you to spend. Now you protect me, and I'll protect you in the future!"
Zhao Nianyang patted his chest and looked at Pan Yang, as if a stone had been dropped into water, creating a ripple in Pan Yang's eyes.
Zhao Nianyang couldn't understand Huan Yang's emotions, so she cautiously tugged at his sleeve: "Brother, are you angry?"
"No, go do your homework. Kids shouldn't make empty promises." Pan Yang sat down on the sofa with the flowers in his hand.
Zhao Nianyang went into the house, closed the door, and muttered to herself, "I didn't make empty promises. My brother is bullying me." She went to her room to do her homework.
The day of the trial arrived quickly, and with Zhou Yang's help, they won the case as expected. Considering the original owner's mental problems, Zhao Nianyang temporarily settled under Zhou Yang's household.
Everything was peaceful, except that Zhou Yang still provided psychological counseling to Pan Yang every day.
Pan Yang really didn't want to answer those boring questions, so he started avoiding Zhou Yang, but Zhou Yang always managed to find him.
However, this time, Pan Yang did not wait for Zhou Yang. In the park, Pan Yang sat on a bench watching Zhao Nianyang and a group of children playing in the sand.
Immediately afterwards, Pan Yang saw Zhou Yang in the distance, seemingly talking to a woman.
"Zhao Nianyang, you stay put." After giving these instructions, Pan Yang got up and walked towards Zhou Yang.
As he got closer, he could see that the woman was probably around fifty years old, but she still had big waves in her hair and wore heavy makeup. She was pretty, but her demeanor was also very vulgar.
"Your mother is doing this for your own good. If you go back to the Zhou family and fight for your own money, you'll make a lot of money! Why bother being a doctor and dealing with a bunch of mentally ill people?"
The woman grabbed Zhou Yang's arm and spoke earnestly.
"You don't need to worry about me, I'm not going back." Zhou Yang tried to shake her off, somewhat impatiently, but was taken aback when he looked up and saw Pan Yang.
He broke free from the woman and strode to Fan Yang: "You go home first, I still have some things to take care of."
However, before Huan Yang could speak, the woman raised her hand to slap him, but Zhou Yang blocked it, and the slap landed squarely on Zhou Yang's face.
"He's the one who encouraged you to become a doctor! What kind of person is he!" The woman didn't care at all, and even tried to raise her hand to hit Huan Yang.
