Chapter 171 Stealing her shoes and doing that
The next day, He Nuan returned to her cheerful self and was no longer absent-minded.
"Man Yue, congratulate me, I solved a problem similar to the one Nuwa repairing the sky." She was so excited that she couldn't contain herself.
Man Yue cooperated and asked, "What's the problem?"
He Nuan smiled proudly and said, "I can't say that. Anyway, I feel like I'm about to float up."
Man Yue ruffled her hair: "Why didn't you accept the red envelope I gave you last night?"
He Nuan: "No, I have money to spend."
Xie Xiao came in from outside: "What are you so happy about?"
He Nuan snorted and turned her head away, ignoring him.
He exchanged glances with Man Yue, shrugged his shoulders, and then took out a box of candy from his desk and placed it on Man Yue's table. His ears turned red. "You guys eat."
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the sports meet.
Man Yue was caught by Lao Wan's important involvement.
He Nuan and Xie Xiao both had competitions and were not in their seats from time to time, so the seats on both sides of Man Yue became empty. She inexplicably felt that someone was looking at her from behind. Man Yue turned around, but saw nothing.
After the morning sports meeting, He Nuan and Xie Xiao came to find her for dinner.
Xie Xiao: "Let's go out to eat! It's my treat."
He Nuan: "Goodbye, let's go to the cafeteria. We can rest for a while after lunch."
"Yeah, you have a competition this afternoon, so you need some sleep. So let's go to the cafeteria!"
The three of them went to the cafeteria together. Man Yue and Xie Xiao ate slowly, and He Nuan went back to the dormitory to take a nap after eating, leaving only the two of them.
Xie Xiao watched her walk away before speaking to Man Yue: "You were fine a few days ago, why are you acting so weird again?"
Man Yue stood up and said, "I'm not going to eat anymore. Let's go out and take a look."
Xie Xiao followed with two plates in hand, and they left the door right after He Nuan.
After walking for a distance, Man Yue caught sight of He Nuan in front of the school gate. There was a middle-aged man beside her, pulling her, and it was unclear what they were arguing about.
Seeing this, Xie Xiao rushed over without saying a word.
"Xiao Nuan, Dad doesn't want to embarrass you. Your friends are all rich, so what's wrong with you asking them for more?"
He Nuan scolded him: "Shut up."
The middle-aged man didn't get angry. He forced a smile on his face and held He Nuan's hand tightly. "Your mother works so hard every day and earns all the money for your education. What's wrong with you giving back to us?"
"Stop talking about my mom. You took away everything she earned except for my tuition. Besides, I gave you some money a few days ago. I will give you another sum after graduation. You also promised me that you would move my household registration out when the time comes." He Nuan argued with him in disgust.
The man shamelessly coaxed her, "Nothing in this world is so easy. I did agree to it, but things have changed. I didn't know your classmate was a second-generation rich kid. Now that you're hooking up with a rich guy, the original price isn't right anymore."
He Nuan: "You are shameless. I have no money to give you."
"How about I let your mother tell you?"
Hearing this, He Nuan's face turned pale.
The man continued, "Or, if you sleep with me for one night and finish what you didn't finish last time, I won't pursue the matter."
As he spoke, he looked at her with those lustful eyes and even bent down to kiss her hand.
He Nuan's body froze for a moment, and she was shaking all over and unable to move.
The next second, there was a bang.
Xie Xiao threw a fist, and in response, the middle-aged man fell to the ground with a sound and wailing.
"He beat people up and killed people."
Man Yue pulled He Nuan to her side, and security guards came out of the security booth one after another to check the situation.
The middle-aged man continued to shout: "Call the police! Are you going to do anything if you students hit someone? Pay the money, you must pay the money."
Xie Xiao was about to go up, but was stopped by He Nuan.
"Oh, you're that rich second-generation, right?" The man got up and shook off the security guard's support: "You even helped her beat me up. I've slept with her before, and you still like her!"
"Shut up." He Nuan trembled all over and shouted, "I didn't do anything. I told you nothing. You're talking nonsense."
Xie Xiao clenched his fists and remained calm: "Please throw him out."
The security guard saw that something was wrong and heard the noise, so he cooperated and dragged the man away.
"He Nuan, you're great! You don't want to move your household registration out, right? I'll talk to your mom when I get home."
He Nuan trembled all over and huddled beside Man Yue. Xie Xiao then put his school uniform jacket on her.
"Walk."
The three people left the gate and went to talk under a big tree where no one was.
"What's the matter? Why don't you tell me?" Man Yue asked, patting her back.
"He is my stepfather." He Nuan calmed down and spoke slowly.
"My mom got married to him when I was in middle school. Everything was fine at first, but then his true nature gradually showed. He liked PC and sometimes even got physical with my mom. I tried to persuade her to divorce him, but she wouldn't agree and insisted on living with him.
He was drunk for a while and sneaked into my room, trying to assault me. Luckily, I forced him out with a knife. I wanted to call the police, but my mom found out and she wouldn't let me tell anyone. She threatened to kill herself.
"I had no choice but to agree to her request. I tried to persuade her to divorce, but she still refused. I wanted to leave that family and move my household registration out after taking the college entrance examination.
But the household registration book has always been in the hands of that man. I asked my mother to help me, but unexpectedly, my mother turned around and told him about this. The man threatened me and asked for 200,000 yuan to move me out.
Man Yue: "So you've been collecting money these days?"
"Yeah." He Nuan replied, "Because of my mom, I can't tell anyone about this. I've saved some of the red envelopes you gave me over the years, and with my part-time job after school, I've managed to give him half of it. I originally said I'd give him the rest after the college entrance exam, with the money and the household registration booklet. I didn't expect him to come here and make a fuss."
"So the reason you didn't let me send you off was because you secretly went to work part-time?" Xie Xiao, who was leaning against the tree trunk, finally spoke, looking angry and disapproving.
He Nuan wiped her tears and said, "That's just one of the reasons. I don't want that man to see you and think he has a chance to make money from you and raise the price."
"Just tell me if you want money!" Xie Xiao sighed.
He Nuan: "It's not that much of a difference anyway. I can get it together myself. I don't want you to know this. And I was planning to borrow the remaining 100,000 from you, but I just haven't had the chance to ask yet."
"Okay." Man Yue put his arm around her shoulders soothingly: "Don't come home from now on. I have a house nearby. You can live there."
It was the large flat that Jiang Feng bought to sleep longer, but it became empty after they moved.
He Nuan burst into laughter and hugged her: "Okay, then I'll rely more on my sisters."
Xie Xiao: "I'll help you with the household registration issue, so you can focus on preparing for the exam!"
He Nuan was so moved that she cried out: "You guys are so nice."
The three of them did not return to the dormitory, but went all the way back to the classroom.
The classroom was empty. Just as Man Yue was about to take her seat, she found a shoe she had lost on her desk.
He Nuan was puzzled: "Why are these shoes here?"
Xie Xiao: "What's going on?"
He Nuan: "Man Yue lost her pair of shoes during gymnastics class. This is it, but there's only one."
Man Yue went in and was about to pick it up when she saw a pile of shocking white sticky liquid on the upper and inside the shoe. She immediately took a few steps back in disgust.
Seeing this, Xie Xiao stepped forward, and when he saw what was on the shoe, his face suddenly turned red, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out.
