Chapter 44

When Mu Yan arrived at the hospital, he saw Zhou Wenwen by his mother’s bedside.

His mother was still unconscious, and besides Zhou Wenwen, there were two familiar teachers.

"Xiao Yan, you’re here!" Zhang Kai saw Mu Yan and immediately greeted him.

"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhao, you’re here too. What’s wrong with my mom? She’s always been in good health, why did she suddenly faint?" Mu Yan asked.

"Ah! Xiao Yan, this matter is quite complicated!" Zhao Su shook his head and sighed.

"Today at the school meeting, the principal wanted to punish some teachers who were privately charging for extra classes. Teacher Mu was one of them. However, the other teachers just received a reprimand, but because Teacher Mu is the head of the grade, the school decided to fire her!" Zhou Wenwen explained, as Zhang Kai had not said it.

"What! Where is the principal!" Mu Yan’s face turned ashen, his fists clenched tightly, making a "crackling" sound.

Seeing Mu Yan like this, Zhou Wenwen immediately hugged his arm and said, "Brother Yan, don’t be impulsive. Don’t do anything foolish; it will only make Teacher Mu more worried."

Hearing Zhou Wenwen’s comfort, Mu Yan took a few deep breaths. He had indeed thought about going to deal with the principal.

Feeling Zhou Wenwen’s comfort, Mu Yan patted her shoulder gently and said, "Wenwen, don’t worry. I’m not as impulsive as I used to be. I know how to handle things now!"

"Okay!" Seeing Mu Yan calm down, Zhou Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the two of them so intimate, Zhang Kai and Zhao Su exchanged glances. Zhao Su asked, "Xiao Yan, what’s going on between you and Xiao Zhou?"

"Wenwen is my girlfriend!" Mu Yan said straightforwardly.

"Really? Xiao Zhou is a good girl. Congratulations!" Zhang Kai said with a smile.

Apart from Teacher Mu, no one else knew about their relationship. Now that it was out, Zhou Wenwen felt a bit shy.

"Since you’re here, we should go back. I have a class later!" Zhang Kai didn’t want to disturb them further, and he and Zhao Su exchanged a look before leaving.

"Is my mom okay?" Mu Yan asked, looking at his mother.

"The doctor checked her. It’s mainly due to emotional agitation. She had already woken up earlier, but because her mood wasn’t good, the doctor gave her some medication. She just fell asleep before you arrived!" Zhou Wenwen said.

Hearing this, Mu Yan felt somewhat relieved, but he was not going to let the principal off the hook for making his mother faint.

Just for giving extra classes, they wanted to fire her. Mu Yan didn’t think it was that simple.

Zhang Kai and Zhao Su walked out of the hospital. Zhao Su smiled and said, "I never thought Xiao Yan would date Xiao Zhou. If Xiao Yan hadn’t been in jail, they would have been a perfect match. Now, I’m sure Old Zhou doesn’t know about this. With his temper, he wouldn’t let his daughter marry a man who has been in jail."

"You’re right. But I always found this matter strange. Now it seems our Principal Fang is deliberately targeting Teacher Mu!" Zhang Kai sighed.

"Oh, how do you know?" Zhao Su asked curiously.

"Didn’t you know that Jiang Feifan is also pursuing Xiao Zhou? She didn’t agree, but now she’s with Xiao Yan. Jiang Feifan is the son of the big boss. With the prince’s instructions, how could Principal Fang not be enthusiastic about it?" Zhang Kai said sarcastically.

Hearing this, Zhao Su felt it made sense. His face turned ashen as he said, "This Fang Yongcheng is just a flatterer with no real skills. When the old principal was in charge, No. 7 Middle School had a great reputation. Look at it now, the school is in chaos, full of the stench of money. The students are getting worse, with boys dyeing their hair yellow and girls painting their faces like monkey butts. Because of their powerful backgrounds, Fang Yongcheng dares not say a word. Now he’s targeting a good teacher like Teacher Mu. I really wish I could throw that scoundrel in jail."

"Ha, Old Zhao, are you upset for the school or for Teacher Mu?" Zhang Kai suddenly teased.

Hearing this, Zhao Su felt a bit embarrassed but quickly retorted, "Old Zhang, don’t talk about me. Although we both liked Teacher Mu back then, it’s been so many years. Our children have grown up. What’s the point of bringing it up now!"

"That’s true. Back then, Teacher Mu was so beautiful. Now..." Thinking of the beautiful figure in a white shirt holding a textbook, Zhang Kai felt a bitter taste in his heart. Although he knew that Mu Fangfang was older than him and even had a child, both he and Zhao Su liked her. But she already had someone in her heart. After several failed attempts to win her, they had to give up and hide their love deep in their hearts.

Just then, his phone rang. It was Fang Yongcheng. He coldly hummed and then answered the call.

"Teacher Zhang, how is Teacher Mu?" Fang Yongcheng asked casually over the phone.

Hearing this tone, Zhang Kai felt a surge of anger, but he knew that confronting the principal would not do him any good. He said, "She’s finally stable, and we’ve notified her son. However, when he saw his mother, he became very agitated. I and Old Zhao had to persuade him for a long time to calm him down. Teacher Mu’s son has a very short temper. I’m really afraid he might do something rash, just like he did in the past. Principal Fang, you should be careful!"

"It’s not that serious, right?" Hearing Zhang Kai’s warning, Fang Yongcheng was not concerned.

Zhang Kai laughed coldly in his heart, "Principal Fang, I’m just looking out for you. You must have heard about what happened to him back then, right? Don’t you find it strange that a minor who acted in self-defense and accidentally killed someone was sentenced to 15 years?"

"Is there more to the story?" Fang Yongcheng asked.

Zhang Kai deliberately sighed and said, "It’s said that the girl who was bullied was in an early relationship with Mu Yan at school. When Mu Yan saw his beloved being bullied, he stabbed the person over a hundred times. By the time the police arrived, the person was unrecognizable. Only a few of us old teachers know about this. Mu Yan has always been close to his mother. If anything happens to Teacher Mu, that child might do anything out of anger."

After hearing this, Fang Yongcheng felt a cold sweat on his back, and his face turned pale. He just wanted to please the prince, but he didn’t want to risk his life. If he had known that Mu Fangfang’s son was a madman, he wouldn’t have done this.

On the side, Jiang Feifan also heard this. His face turned ashen. He hadn’t expected that Mu Yan was such a reckless and fearless person!

"Old Zhang, why did you say such things about Xiao Yan?" After hanging up, Zhao Su immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

Zhang Kai coldly hummed, "I want Fang Yongcheng to be afraid for a few days. I hope he dies of fright. Old Zhao, we can’t let Teacher Mu leave. We need to unite some teachers and protect her!"
