Chapter 118.3: The Research Fanatic Who Lost His Child (4)
Wang Xuan bowed his head, as his eyes slightly turned red.
He quickly wrote a line on the paper and handed it to Zou Le, who was still angry and disgusted.
“What!?” Zou Le hated the way they communicated through speaking and writing, especially after she thought her clothes were stained with oil. She yanked the paper over impatiently.
“Break up?!! You want to break up with me?!”
She hardly thought about whether she should be happy or angry. Zou Le had never regarded Wang Xuan as her boyfriend, but even so, before she hid from him, the other party proposed to break up first. This made the girl who had never been wronged since childhood feel humiliated.
Her tone was sharp, “Wang Xuan, you actually want to break up with me? Are you crazy!?”
Wang Xuan didn’t look at her, he just looked down and wrote a line.
This time, seeing the words, Zou Le anger was immediately suppressed, “Pay back the money today? Wang Xuan, you’re really good at pretending.”
[if you don’t have the money to pay it back now, I’ll wait until you get out of school. I can come with you to your house and have your parents write down a debt note and an exact date to pay it back.]
Wang Xuan’s attitude was very firm this time. If he wanted to go to school, he needed money. Zou Le’s attitude really made him wary, so he could only negotiate with her parents.
Zou Le felt that Wang Xuan was deliberately retaliating against her.
“Just because I yelled at you? Wang Xuan, are you even a man!?”
Being despised by someone he loved, saying that he wasn’t sad would be false. But Wang Xuan had long been accustomed to hiding his vulnerability and not showing a bit of it on his face.
[it has nothing to do with any of this. I need money. When you borrowed my money, you said that it only needs to be turnover for a period of time. I will wait for you at the school gate afterschool today.]
In response to Wang Xuan’s statement, Zou Le left only one word and rode her bike to quickly escape.
“Psycho!”
Wang Xuan stood in the distance. His pair of dark eyes watched her back as she rode quickly into the school. He hung his head in utter dismay.
Zou Le was upset all day. She wasn't in the mood to listen to the teachers in class. After class, her desk mate invited her to go buy food in the canteen, but she didn’t go.
She was flustered. She secretly borrowed money from Wang Xuan without telling anyone. Although she had a good family, she also knew that the money wasn’t a small amount. If her parents knew that she had borrowed money outside...
Zou Le shuddered. This was the first time she felt regret in borrowing money from Wang Xuan.
She didn’t think Wang Xuan would ask for the money so soon, and the orphaned little mute, actually broke up with her.
Even if she wanted to pay back the money now, she didn’t have any money. The money had long been lavishly spent.
Originally, Zou Le wanted to hide in school and wait until everyone was gone before going out, but the gate guards would lock the door at night and Wang Xuan, who operated a stall all evening, would surely be waiting for her.
She was so anxious that she kept thinking of a good solution for a long time, before finally thinking of a great idea.
With a method in mind, Zou Le was less anxious and spent the afternoon peacefully working on what to say in her mind.
When the school bell rang and the teachers had finished assigning homework, the students went out one after another with their school bags on their backs. At this time, the flow of people at the school gate was the largest. Zou Le still had a glimmer of hope. She mingled with the crowd, hoping that Wang Xuan wouldn’t find her.
But as soon as she reached the door, she saw the thin figure standing there. His dark eyes quickly locked on her, she panicked, but quickly settled down. She assumed a normal look and calmly walked towards the gate.
When she got to the gate, Wang Xuan really pulled her hand. Before he could hand her a piece of paper, Zou Le already screamed in a sharp and panicked voice, “What are you doing?! Why are you grabbing me?”
Because of that scream, all the students around instantly looked over. Watching any fuss going on was human nature, and it was even more evident in children.
Being looked at by so many people, Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment. He handed the written paper in his hand, which said that Zou Le should pay back his money.
However, as soon as the paper was handed over, Zou Le threw it away. Her pretty, innocent face was filled with panic, as if she was a pitiful girl being molested on a bus.
“Who the hell are you?! Don’t pull me!!”
No matter how mature Wang Xuan was, when the newly broken up ex-girlfriend who had spoken to him in the morning acted like she didn’t know him, he would still fall into a daze.
He quickly took out a pen and paper and wanted to write something. But before he could write, Zou Le reached out and threw his pen to the street.
After throwing the pen away, the girl’s face looked innocent, “Who the hell are you? Did you recognize the wrong person?”
Yes, that was her plan.
Wang Xuan instantly became a scammer, while Zou Le raised her chin proudly and looked at him with the gaze of a winner. Her beautiful eyes were full of contempt, “If you pester me again, I'll call the police!”
“What’s going on!! Hey!! What’s the fuss!?’
The burly gate guard came late, frowning at the crowd of students with Wang Xuan in the middle. Zou Le seemed like she had found support, “Uncle, I do not know this person. He came over and said that I’m his girlfriend. He also asked me for money. Looks like he works at a stall in front of the school, and he’s mute. Why would I be his girlfriend!!”
The guard looked at Wang Xuan, up and down. He was so angry that he couldn’t even care about writing, only his hands were quickly gesturing.
Looking back at Zou Le, whose eyes were red and her expression seemed like someone who was wronged, the guard immediately made up his mind.
“Get out of here!!! Who told you to make trouble in front of our school? I’m telling you! Don’t harass the students in our school in the future!!”
Wang Xuan trembled with anger, but he couldn’t speak. He could barely control his emotions. He quickly wrote on the paper, and held it up for the guard.
[She really owes me money!!! It’s all my money!]
“I can tell this girl doesn’t lack money from a single glance. Why would she owe you money? And you also said she was your girlfriend? Listen, young man, our school isn’t a place people can easily look for trouble. Our students are going to university in the future, different from you. Your underhanded scams are useless here!”
Wang Xuan didn’t want to cry, but as he was pushed and shoved out by the gate guard, his nose got sore and he cried.
He couldn’t speak, he couldn’t explain, he could only hold the paper in vain. While being pushed and shoved, he showed it to the people around him.
No, it’s not what she said!
Zou Le really owed him money and was his girlfriend!
That’s all his money, the money he wanted to use for school!
Why won’t anyone believe it?!
Why won’t anyone believe him?!
While pushing Wang Xuan, who was pushed away but still came forward, the guard scolded impatiently, “Look, I’m not going to bother with you because you’re young, but if you do that again, I'll call the police! After getting locked up for a few days, you’ll definitely remember!"
After saying that, his hands were a few points heavier. He pushed Wang Xuan, who then staggered and fell to the ground.
When the students around them saw this scene, they cheered, and some people whistled. Apparently, they saw the guard as a hero who protected the students.
Amidst the shouting, Wang Xuan was woefully half sitting on the ground, shivering. He just felt as if the whole world had gone cold.
“What are you doing!!! What are you doing?!! Get away -“
Zhou Chuchu, who just got out of the car, never thought that she would see this scene. She was like an angry female wolf, pushing away the people surrounding Wang Xuan. The crazy appearance scared the surrounding students back.
After ensuring that no one could hurt Wang Xuan anymore, Zhou Chuchu, with red eyes, embraced the boy on the ground and turned to stare viciously at the person in front of him.
“What are you doing bullying my child?! I’m going to call the police!!! I’m going to sue you!!!”
“Xuan Xuan, Xuan Xuan don’t be afraid. Mom is here, mom will protect you, Xuan Xuan...”
This scene obviously provoked Zhou Chuchu, who had been terrified to think about how much Wang Xuan had suffered at a place she couldn’t see. As if she was holding a very small child, she held Wang Xuan on the ground in a tight embrace, holding his head in her trembling hands, letting him lean into her arms, making him stay safely in his mother’s arms like a baby.
Wang Xuan felt like he was dreaming.
As he was held, the tip of his nose could smell a light fragrance. Her scent made him feel at ease.
He felt relieved, but his tears couldn’t help but fall.
Before his consciousness could react, his body had gone ahead and allowed the tears to flow all over his face.
Is this a dream?
Wang Xuan thought in a trance.
He heard the guard’s voice of disbelief, “You’re his mother??”
In the next second, the person holding him firmly answered.
“Yes! I’m his mother!”
