Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 251 Thorny Rose (8)

Yan Zhen entered the school through the side gate before letting go of the girl's hand.

Do you know which way to the dormitory?

The girl stared at her and nodded slightly.

"Go back, and try to avoid these alleyways in the future."

After Yan Zhen finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards his dormitory.

She walked a long way, but there was still a gaze fixed on her from behind, so intense that it could not be ignored.

What a weirdo—Yan Zhen ignored him and didn't even turn his head.

-

Yan Zhen quickly forgot about the little incident in the alley, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye.

That morning, Yan Zhen was in class when her counselor suddenly knocked on the door and came in.

"Lin Xun, go to the teacher's office. Someone is looking for you."

Yan Zhen frowned, sensing that something was about to happen.

She followed the counselor to the teachers' office, and upon entering, she saw Wang Jianchun sitting in the rest area, talking to the class teacher, Ms. Huang.

Teacher Huang's expression was very serious.

Yan Zhen walked over and said, "Teacher."

When Teacher Huang saw her arrive, she was about to speak when Wang Jianchun, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly struck without warning and slapped Yan Zhen hard across the face.

The slap came quickly and hard, and Yan Zhen had no time to dodge. He was knocked to the ground, his mind went blank, and half of his face went numb.

Teacher Huang suddenly stood up: "Lin Xun's parent, what are you doing?"

The commotion startled several teachers in the open office cubicles, who all peeked out to look. The counselor immediately reached out to help Yan Zhen, asking, "Lin Xun, are you alright?"

"You beast!" Wang Jianchun, contrary to his usual gentle and honest demeanor, angrily cursed at Yan Zhen, "Tell me! What did you do with the money you stole from home? Did you steal it for your little boyfriend again? How many times have I told you, you're only in high school, don't associate with those kinds of people, especially since he gambles! Do you want to do what you did in junior high and have another abortion for him?"

After this explosive outburst, the entire teachers' office fell silent.

Yan Zhen took the tissue handed to her by the counselor, wiped her mouth, and looked up at Wang Jianchun.

Threats and insults didn't work, so they went directly to the school to deal with her?

Stealing money, having a puppy love, dating a gambling addict, and even having an abortion for him when she was in junior high school...

Wang Jianchun's intention was simply to ruin her reputation, make her feel ashamed at school, and even make it impossible for her to stay.

She could imagine how utterly ruined her reputation would be at school after today.

Unfortunately, she couldn't refute or explain—the person who said those words was her "father."

What father would fabricate such a thing out of thin air to slander his own daughter?

"I was wrong, Dad," Yan Zhen said in a low voice. "I will never see him again."

Wang Jianchun was taken aback.

In his mind, Lin Xun, who had a rebellious streak and dared to knock him unconscious in the toilet, would be angry upon hearing this slander and would then argue back and quarrel with him.

Then he can take her away from school under the pretext of "giving his daughter a proper education".

But she didn't utter a single rebuttal, and even took the blame for all of An's crimes.

"I was ignorant before. I will definitely study hard in the future, get into a good university, and live up to your expectations," Yan Zhen said sincerely.

"You..." Wang Jianchun was tricked and couldn't quite process what had happened.

Just as he was about to continue his outburst, Teacher Huang and the counselor saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Lin Xun's parents, please calm down. Lin Xun already knows he was wrong."

"Yes, why can't the father and daughter talk things out? Hitting a child at school will have a bad influence if word gets out."

Other teachers chimed in, one after another, effectively shutting down any chance for Wang Jianchun to get angry.

Seeing that his plan had failed, Wang Jianchun came up with another idea. He pretended to have listened to Teacher Huang's advice and suppressed his temper.

"Oh, Teacher Huang, I'm so sorry. I was too short-tempered. You know my family situation. Lin Xun's mother passed away early, and I raised her by myself. Now that she has gone astray, I'm very anxious and upset."

Teacher Huang nodded repeatedly: "I understand, all parents want what's best for their children."

“That’s right,” Wang Jianchun said. “I’m sorry to have troubled you. I’ll be going now—Lin Xun, I brought some winter clothes with me. They’re in the car. You can pick them up at the school gate.”

Upon hearing this, Teacher Huang worried that Lin Xun would be beaten if he went out with Wang Jianchun, and was about to speak up to stop him: "Um..."

“Okay,” Yan Zhen agreed first.

She gave Teacher Huang a grateful and reassuring smile, then turned and followed Wang Jianchun out.

As Yan Zhen walked out of the teachers' office, the door to the dean's office next door opened. Yan Zhen subconsciously turned his head and met the girl who came out of the office.

She's the girl I saw in the alley a few days ago.

The last time he saw her was at night, and even in the dim light, he could tell she was a beauty. Now, seeing her in broad daylight, the stunning beauty of the woman made Yan Zhen pause in his tracks.

With snow-white skin, black hair, red lips, and a jade-like face, the nine o'clock morning sunlight fell on her delicate and fair face, making her look like a piece of porcelain white jade that is easily broken.

This is still not fully grown.

Yan Zhen imagined what she would look like in a few years when she had grown up, and she would definitely live up to the description of "stunning beauty".

"Lin Xun, what are you still standing there for?" Wang Jianchun urged coldly when he saw Yan Zhen standing motionless at the door.

"They're here." Yan Zhen withdrew his gaze and followed Wang Jianchun.

The teachers' office was on the second floor. As Wang Jianchun went down the stairs, Yan Zhen hurried a few steps to catch up.

She calculated Wang Jianchun's pace and quietly took out a few marbles from her pocket and scattered them.

Wang Jianchun was preoccupied with figuring out how to get Lin Xun into the car, take him home, tie him up, and teach him a lesson. He slipped and was thrown into the air before he even realized what was happening.

He fell backward down the stairs, his head hitting the step hard. A sharp pain and dizziness shot through him, and he instinctively reached out to touch the back of his head.

His hands were covered in blood.

Through his blurring vision, he saw Lin Xun rush to his side, shouting in a panicked tone, "Help! Help my dad!" while giving him a meaningful, mocking smile from an angle unseen by others.

Wang Jianchun's heart skipped a beat, and he fainted again.

School security guards and teachers arrived quickly, and someone called an ambulance.

Wang Jianchun was lifted onto a stretcher and taken away, and Yan Zhen, as a family member, also had to go to the hospital.

As she got into the ambulance, she felt a burning gaze fixed on her.

Looking back, through the closing ambulance door, I saw the pretty girl I'd seen in the alley earlier standing on the stairs.

She still had that expressionless look on her face.

Their eyes met, and she tilted her head and slowly opened her palm.

There were a few marbles in his palm.
