Chapter 28 The Matter of An Lian
The involved parties left, and the onlookers quickly dispersed.
Behind the dispersing crowd, An Lian’s figure appeared. He had just seen Wan Chu’er suddenly slap Zhuo Yao and, fearing a situation, rushed over. When he arrived, he happened to hear Wan Chu’er say, "Don’t slander Teacher An. Teacher An and my mother were classmates."
So he stopped in his tracks. Seeing that Wan Chu’er hadn’t suffered any real loss, he didn’t push his way further in.
An Lian had never thought that one day Wan Chu’er would actually hit someone for his sake, and even personally acknowledged his classmate relationship with Bai Zhixi.
For a moment, his feelings were overwhelmingly emotional, wishing to see Bai Zhixi and find out how she was doing.
A few years ago, seeing Bai Zhixi struggling with a child alone, he couldn’t help but look out for the mother and daughter. At first, Wan Chu’er would always call him "Uncle An" with a smile.
But one day, Wan Chu’er suddenly glared at him with anger and even picked up a broom to beat him, driving him away.
After that, every time she saw him, she would curse him viciously.
Even in his disappointment, he remained concerned about Bai Zhixi, secretly helping her. Somehow, Wan Chu’er found out about it. He remembers that day’s scene vividly.
The Wan family’s gas had run out, and when An Lian saw Bai Zhixi struggling with the gas tank, he thought Wan Chu’er was at school and wouldn’t be back for a while, so he went to help her carry it. Once at the Wan home, he noticed the kitchen cabinet was cracked, so he helped fix it.
