Soon, Xia Wan knew the answer.
The group of thugs didn’t want to waste any more time either.
Everyone charged at the man protecting Xia Wan.
The gang leader cursed as he attacked: “I, Xiao Yan, hate guys like you the most those who wear glasses and pretend to be refined!”
The man covered his head, taking blows without striking back, yet he still shouted at Xia Wan, who was staring blankly nearby: “Go! I’ll hold them off for you!”
Xia Wan’s lips twitched slightly.
This man… was protecting the person he wanted to protect in the most pathetic way possible.
Without hesitation, she turned and walked away.
As she exited the alley, she ran into Su Lijuan.
“Su Lijuan? You’ve been here all along?”
Su Lijuan, still in disbelief at her ex-husband’s actions, pointed at the man getting beaten and exclaimed, “Xia Wan, you just left him behind and ran?”
Xia Wan blinked. “What else could I do? He told me to go.”
Su Lijuan shouted at the surroundings: “Xia Wan, he’s still getting beaten!”
“But what could I do? I’m just a weak girl. You, on the other hand, watched for so long and didn’t think to find backup nearby.”
The people who had been drawn in by Su Lijuan’s scream now looked at her and then at Xia Wan.
Immediately, their own conclusions formed.
“This girl is shameless! She was being bullied in the alley, didn’t call for help, someone rescued her, and she still tries to blame them!”
“But she already got out why didn’t she get help?”
Su Lijuan immediately grabbed this opportunity and clutched Xia Wan’s arm excitedly. “Yeah! Why didn’t you call for backup? I was just passing by I didn’t know what was going on. But you just came out of the alley you could have shouted for help!”
Xia Wan looked up at Su Lijuan’s sly expression. “Big sister, I just escaped the alley and was about to look for help nearby, and you’re holding me here questioning why I didn’t call anyone?”
“If you were truly worried about the stranger helping me, you should have let me go and called for backup yourself!”
Xia Wan pointed at the people watching the spectacle: “And you all! Just now a group of thugs surrounded me, and everyone pretended not to see and ran away! That helpful guy is still getting beaten, and not a single person went to help him. And now you’re here trying to morally guilt me the victim?”
Hearing Xia Wan’s words, the bystanders looked embarrassed.
One man shouted, red-faced with anger: “Go help him! Everything else can wait!”
Seeing a group rushing to help, the thugs realized the situation was bad and quickly retreated.
Xia Wan ran forward to help the man who had assisted her.
“Are you okay, sir?”
Ji Yuanchuan sat down, holding his stomach, wincing. “I’m fine!”
Xia Wan helped him sit and said, “Shall I take you to the nearby clinic?”
While they were in contact, she had already used her system to check him.
Ji Yuanchuan only had minor cuts and bruises, no serious internal injuries he just needed rest.
He shook his head, gasping, and looked at her. “Miss, as long as you’re okay, that’s enough. The exam is about to start don’t let it be delayed! I’m fine!”
At that moment, the exam bell rang. Xia Wan, seeing the urgency, grabbed her things and headed to the testing site.
“I’m Xia Wan. If you have time, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”
Ji Yuanchuan stared at her blankly, and before he could react, she had already run far away.
He could only shout to the distance: “Oh, I’m Ji Yuanchuan I’ll wait for you here tonight!”
Xia Wan ran ahead, almost tripping as she heard the voice behind her.
She hadn’t expected that idiot to be Ji Yuanchuan.
No wonder Su Lijuan looked so surprised when she saw him earlier.
Xia Wan hurried into the exam room.
Fortunately, many had heard what happened, so the invigilator didn’t make things difficult and let her in immediately.
Seeing the simple, almost elementary-level questions, she picked up her pen and began writing.
In a corner, a cold, vicious glare pierced Xia Wan’s back.
Lu Hongmei glared at her with intense hatred.
She had spent money to hire a few thugs, yet they couldn’t keep Xia Wan outside she even showed up for the exam on time!
Watching Xia Wan writing so fluently, recalling that her father had been a university student and often tutored her, Lu Hongmei realized these questions were probably a piece of cake for her.
Her anger surged. Sitting in the exam room, staring at Xia Wan a short distance away, her eyes nearly popped out.
At that moment, the invigilator’s desk rapped: “Student, even though this is just the preliminary exam, please take it seriously!”
The strict voice made Lu Hongmei quickly lower her head.
Xia Wan had already taken her paper to the front and submitted it early.
The people around couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
“Already done?”
“Wasn’t she late just now?”
Lu Hongmei smirked maliciously: “She probably gave up because she couldn’t answer it.”
The invigilator took Xia Wan’s paper and looked at her in surprise. “Student, aren’t you going to check your work?”
Xia Wan shook her head. “No. Someone is waiting for me outside I have to go. Thank you, teacher, for your hard work.”
Hearing her polite response, the invigilator smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
This young girl was pretty and courteous, though her attitude toward exams…
“Hmm?”
Looking at the paper, the invigilator was stunned.
Every question was answered, the handwriting neat and beautiful, perfectly legible.
He looked at the answers and felt his heart race.
She… got everything right!
His gaze immediately went to the student’s name.
…
Xia Wan hurriedly ran out of the exam room.
The guards at the door were astonished to see her leave so quickly.
She ran to the alley from earlier, but Ji Yuanchuan was no longer there.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw Ji Yuanchuan holding a bouquet of flowers not far away.
Their eyes met, and Ji Yuanchuan looked surprised.
He approached her. “Miss Xia Wan, why are you out already?”
“Oh, the exam was easy I finished and came out. Are you okay?”
She looked him over carefully and saw no visible injuries.
Ji Yuanchuan smiled foolishly and nodded. “I’m fine! I protected my face as best I could while getting beaten.”
“Let’s go I’ll treat you to a meal. Thank you for helping me today.”
“You’re welcome. How could I let a young lady like you treat me? I’ll treat you instead. Oh, and here this is for you.”
Ji Yuanchuan smiled foolishly as he handed the bouquet to Xia Wan, his gaze sincere.
