Chapter 162: Chapter 162

Lin Fan actually said that Chu Xiaoming deserved to die?

This statement was truly shocking, leaving everyone stunned, including Chu Xiaoming.

Originally intending to close his eyes and jump, Chu Xiaoming abruptly stopped and looked at Lin Fan, wanting to hear his explanation.

"Do you also think I deserve to die?" Chu Xiaoming asked.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "That’s right, because you’re sick and your parents don’t have the money to treat you, which has burdened your sister. If you die, your sister wouldn’t have to get married. For you, this is indeed the only way to save your sister, but..."

Chu Xiaoming asked curiously, "But what?"

Lin Fan said, "But doing so would cause your sister to feel guilty for a lifetime because you died for her. She would blame herself, feel sad, and perhaps wouldn’t be able to cope, ending up like you. Is that really what you want to see?"

Chu Xiaoming was stunned: "..."

He hadn’t considered this, and Lin Fan’s words terrified him.

Chu Xiaoxiao was already sobbing uncontrollably.

She naturally understood Lin Fan’s intention; his earlier words about Chu Xiaoming deserving to die were merely a method of persuasion.

"Is that what you want to see?" Lin Fan raised his voice.

Chu Xiaoming quickly shook his head: "I don’t want that..."

Chu Xiaoxiao cried and said, "Xiaoming, listen to Teacher Lin. Don’t do anything foolish, okay? If you die, your sister will die of guilt too."

Chu Xiaoming heavily nodded: "Sister, don’t cry. I won’t jump off the building! But... sister, do you really want to drop out of school and get married for me?"

Chu Xiaoxiao wiped her tears and forced a smile: "Sister is willing to do it. Actually, I’ve long stopped wanting to go to school."

Chu Xiaoming was stunned.

He Meifang laughed at this moment: "Did you hear that? Your sister is willing. Don’t make trouble, sweetheart. Come down quickly!"

Chu Yuanhang also laughed heartily: "Indeed! This is good now; everyone can be happy. Sword Dragon, you can come over!"

Chu Yuanhang turned back and beckoned.

Li Jianlong came over, carrying a bag of gifts, with a smiling face, constantly glancing at Chu Xiaoxiao.

He was quite satisfied with Chu Xiaoxiao; she was even prettier than in the photo, a true treasure. He couldn’t wait to take her home, the thought thrilled him.

"Xiaoxiao, hello, I’m Li Jianlong." Li Jianlong proactively greeted.

Chu Yuanhang laughed: "Xiaoxiao, he’s the man you’re going to marry; you’ll soon be husband and wife."

He Meifang stepped forward and pulled Chu Xiaoxiao: "You child, why are you shy? Hurry and greet the man! Sword Dragon, sorry, my daughter is timid, she’ll be fine once she gets familiar."

Li Jianlong kept looking at Chu Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "It’s okay."

Chu Xiaoxiao felt uneasy being stared at by Li Jianlong, her head lowered, her face already red, and she didn’t want to greet him.

Chu Yuanhang and his wife were quite satisfied with the situation, but they didn’t express any gratitude to Lin Fan, who with a few simple words saved their son.

Chu Yuanhang glanced at everyone and said a bit proudly: "You all saw. My daughter willingly dropped out to get married. Outsiders have no say. No more show here, disperse!"

He Meifang added: "Exactly, disperse now. We, the family, should go home."

They tried to disperse the crowd gathering to watch.

Liu Mengjie suddenly spoke.

Everyone turned their gazes to her.

Liu Mengjie said, "I’m the principal of the school Xiaoxiao attends, and this is Teacher Lin from our school. We’re mainly here to understand Chu Xiaoxiao’s dropout situation today. Chu Xiaoxiao, are you really willing to drop out?"

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Mengjie, then at Lin Fan, and then lowered her head, murmuring, "Uh... I’m willing, Principal, Teacher Lin, please don’t worry about me. You can go back."

Chu Yuanhang said proudly: "Did you hear? I told you at school that my daughter would drop out, and you insisted on meddling. Now, hurry up and leave!"

He Meifang said: "Yes, leave quickly. You’re not welcome here!"

The couple’s attitude was quite nasty, wishing they could chase them away with a broom, since Liu Mengjie and Lin Fan were seen as enemies for attempting to disrupt their plan.

Liu Mengjie however refused to leave and said: "I don’t believe that Chu Xiaoxiao is willingly dropping out! Chu Xiaoxiao’s excellent academic performance and positive attitude are evident to all. Furthermore, Teacher Lin mentioned that he just accompanied you to buy a new bicycle yesterday, a bicycle you use to go to school!"

Li Jianlong, hearing this, couldn’t help but look at Lin Fan, feeling displeased!

Lin Fan actually accompanied Chu Xiaoxiao to buy a bicycle!

She really can’t go to school anymore!

This Lin Fan is quite handsome.

But with clothes from the market stalls, he’s clearly a poor guy!

Li Jianlong felt disdain.

Li Jianlong chuckled and said: "Why waste words? Xiaoxiao already said she’s willing. What else does she need a bicycle for? After marrying me, I’ll buy her a car!"

Liu Mengjie ignored Li Jianlong and looked at Chu Xiaoxiao: "Chu Xiaoxiao, please answer the teacher’s question."

Li Jianlong became angry: "Why the hell won’t you stop? Believe me, or I’ll throw you out!"

Chu Xiaoxiao frowned and couldn’t help but say: "Don’t talk to them like that!"

Li Jianlong, upset, was even more displeased now, feeling that Chu Xiaoxiao was defending Lin Fan, perhaps admiring this poor teacher!

"You’re about to be my wife. They’re meddling and ruining our affair. I’m just trying to send them away!" Li Jianlong said.

Chu Yuanhang then said: "Sword Dragon is right. Xiaoxiao, you shouldn’t be siding with outsiders!"

He Meifang impatiently said: "Principal Liu, Teacher Lin, I respect you as Xiaoxiao’s mentors, won’t chase you away with a broom, but don’t overstep, get out quickly!"

Chu Xiaoxiao didn’t want to see them quarrel.

She stepped in front of the two, and pleaded softly: "Principal, Teacher Lin, why not go back first, please."

Liu Mengjie said: "Answer my question and we’ll leave."

Chu Xiaoxiao bit her lip: "I..."

Lin Fan smiled and interrupted her: "Xiaoxiao, think clearly before speaking. If you truly want to marry this guy, we’ll turn around and leave, never asking again. We just want to hear a genuine word from you, or else we can’t help you."

Liu Mengjie said: "Exactly, Teacher Lin and I are here to help solve your difficulties. If you shut us out, we can’t do anything."

Chu Xiaoxiao’s eyes reddened: "I’m sorry, I don’t know how to say..."

Lin Fan gently said: "It’s okay, I know you’re concerned about your brother, but let me ask you, do you trust me?"

Chu Xiaoxiao looked up at Lin Fan, her face slightly red: "Yes."

She can distrust anyone, but she trusts Lin Fan.

Lin Fan said: "Then it’s fine, I can help you solve what you can’t."

Chu Xiaoxiao became a bit emotional: "Teacher Lin, I... I still want to go to school."

Hearing this, Chu Yuanhang and his wife, as well as Li Jianlong, became agitated.

Li Jianlong angrily said: "Alright, enough already! Xiaoxiao is my fiancée, you can’t ruin our wedding, get out!"

Then, Li Jianlong came over, reaching to grab Liu Mengjie, attempting to throw her out.
