On the day Xia Chen returned to school, Yan Han returned home and discreetly wiped away tears.
She felt that he had dropped out due to their inadequacy. Now that Xia Chen was back in school, they finally felt they were no longer letting him down.
For several consecutive days, Li Pan didn’t trouble Xia Wan. On the other hand, Xia Wan directed all her energy toward studying.
On that day, after school, as Xia Wan was heading home alone, she was stopped by a group of young men.
One of the disreputable-looking young men had dyed yellow hair, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and was wearing torn pants. It was clear he had left school early and taken to a delinquent lifestyle.
He sized up Xia Wan with a lecherous gaze. “This chick looks pretty good. How about you join us for a drink today? Don’t worry. We’ll pay you well.”
Xia Wan stared coldly at them.
In her past life, she hadn’t encountered situations like this.
After being victimized repeatedly, she instinctively suspected that this group had been sent specifically to target her.
Xia Wan asked directly, “Who sent you? How much did they offer you?” Yellow Hair was taken aback, not expecting Xia Wan to guess that they were sent by someone.
But since they had taken money, he still had a sense of integrity.
Yellow Hair pretended not to understand the implication behind Xia Wan’s words and replied, “No one sent us. It’s just your bad luck that you’ve encountered us.
“If you accompany us for a drink today, we’ll let this matter go. If you don’t cooperate, we’ll come to your school every day and cause a scene.
“Don’t you want your teachers to have a talk with you?”
Xia Wan’s gaze grew even colder. These people’s actions were undoubtedly aimed at ruining her student life.
It reminded her of a patient from her previous life – a girl from a wealthy family whose reputation was tarnished due to hara.s.sment by thugs.
Despite her well-off background and beauty, she was known as the school’s flower, and quite a few outstanding boys secretly admired her.
However, the appearance of these thugs led to a steady decline in the girl’s reputation.
Rumors spread, and it was even claimed she had worked as a hostess at a bar.
Though these claims lacked evidence, everyone believed the rumors and believed that there must be something wrong with her. Some even went to the princ.i.p.al and wrote reports demanding her expulsion.
Every day, the girl bore the disdainful and scornful gazes of her peers.
Her desk often had dead mice, and glue regularly glazed her chair.
She would try to go to the restroom, only to be blocked by other girls.
Even when the school authorities bullied her, the teachers believed she was at fault.
According to the teachers’ logic, why would these people bully only her and not others? They believed it was because of her lifestyle.
The girl didn’t dare to tell her parents about this; they were both busy with their businesses and rarely at home.
In the end, the girl couldn’t handle the pressure and attempted suicide by jumping off a building.
Fortunately, she was saved in time and survived.
The doctor who operated on her was Xia Wan in her past life.
In her previous life, her academic performance was poor, and she hadn’t faced hara.s.sment from thugs. Now that she was dedicated to her studies, obstacles were emerging.
She sneered and immediately called the police.
Yellow Hair was dumbfounded. “You have a phone? And… the latest model?”
They had only told him that Xia Wan looked good and asked them to take her to a bar for drinks.
They didn’t need to do much; they just needed to ruin Xia Wan’s reputation.
They didn’t intend to do anything to Xia Wan. After all, a.s.saulting a girl was a serious crime, and they didn’t want to spend their lives in jail.
But he hadn’t expected that Xia Wan would actually call the police?
Xia Wan sneered, “Are you now concerned whether or not I have a phone? Once the police arrive, can you still escape?
Yellow Hair finally realized that Xia Wan had indeed called the police. He hurriedly left with his friends.
Soon, a police car arrived, and the police officer stepping out was Officer Song. Xia Wan understood that Officer Song was likely responsible for this area..
