My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Little Crybaby!-Chapter 176: What Are You Angry About?

The little girl’s face changed in an instant.

She glanced at him, then turned and walked toward the door.

Xu Jiayan was stunned. Why did the girl suddenly change her demeanor?

He watched as she was about to open the door and leave. Xu Jiayan frowned and quickly stepped forward. His long arm reached past her and pressed against the door, preventing her from opening it as he asked, "What are you getting angry about?"

Jiang Yuan’s long lashes cast a shadow, concealing the emotions in her eyes. "Are you particularly afraid that I might want to be your girlfriend, Brother Yan?"

Hearing her tone, Xu Jiayan knew she had misunderstood. The dark luster in his eyes deepened as he said, "No!"

The young girl, with her back to him, didn’t turn around. Her eyes downcast, she said, "Brother Yan, there’s no need to use the girlfriend issue to threaten me. I know you don’t want me as your girlfriend. Rest assured, I won’t bring it up again."

"You know that’s not what I mean." Xu Jiayan’s brows knitted even tighter, and his usually expressionless face rarely showed a hint of emotion.

"I don’t know. All I know is that I like you, Brother Yan, and you know it. That’s why you can use it to threaten me." Jiang Yuan lifted her head slightly, giving Xu Jiayan a small smile. However, the smile didn’t reach her eyes. "Brother Yan really isn’t afraid at all that I couldn’t do it!"

"I..."

Xu Jiayan opened his mouth to explain but was interrupted by Jiang Yuan. "Brother Yan, no need to say more. I understand."

What does this girl understand?

Xu Jiayan frowned.

She had gotten the wrong end of the stick and probably wouldn’t listen to anything he said now. After watching her for a moment, he withdrew his hand and said, "It’s too late today. Go back and rest. We can talk after you’ve calmed down."

"There’s no need. There’s nothing left to discuss between Brother Yan and me." After saying this, the little girl opened the door and ran out.

Xu Jiayan watched the door swing open and then close, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his eyes a deep and bottomless dark inkiness.

...

Although Lin Wan might not be the most exemplary parent, as Jiang Yuan’s guardian, she had never missed a parent-teacher meeting or a conversation with the homeroom teacher.

Upon receiving He Shang’s call, she rushed back from out of town that very afternoon.

In the office.

Lin Wan removed her sunglasses and said, "Sorry, I’m late." Wanting to spare the children embarrassment, she had taken great care to dress up before leaving home today. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

As a long-standing bachelor, He Shang couldn’t help but brighten up at the sight of her and hurriedly stood up, saying, "Is this Miss Lin Wan? No, no, your timing is just right."

Two other people were sitting next to He Shang—Yao Mengqi’s parents. Clearly, they were already aware of their daughter’s actions, and their expressions were none too pleasant.

Especially after seeing He Shang’s attitude towards Lin Wan, their expressions grew even darker.

After greeting He Shang, Lin Wan took out her phone from her bag, opened a photo, and placed it on the table, saying, "I’m already aware of the situation. Now let’s talk about compensation!"

As soon as compensation was mentioned, the other parents’ faces turned even uglier, and they heard Yao Mengqi’s mother say, "I’ve heard from our child that it was your child who bullied her first. That’s why she couldn’t help but throw your family’s cup. She was just momentarily angry, but your child is way too much, demanding two thousand yuan right off the bat. What kind of cup is worth two thousand yuan? Learning to swindle people at such a young age is not good. You adults really need to teach your children better!"
