Chapter 51

"Tell me what's going on clearly!" Mu Yan felt a bit uneasy when he saw Chu Qingqing's strange smile.

Chu Qingqing, however, reached out and pulled An An over, then said with a smile, "Brother Yan, isn't An An pretty? Today, I'll do you a favor and let you be An An's boyfriend for the night."

"What? Chu Qingqing, what are you up to?" Looking at An An, whose face was slightly flushed but who did not refuse, it was clear they had planned this beforehand.

"An An used to like a boy, but he was a year older. They agreed to be together after they both went to college. However, once he got to college, he immediately started dating a girl with some money. One day, An An found out and they had a big argument. That bastard even slapped An An. This time, that bastard's birthday is coming up, and that girl even invited An An, clearly wanting to embarrass her. I can't let my good friend lose face, so I want An An to find a better boyfriend to show him up," Chu Qingqing explained everything in one breath.

"Surely it's just a child's fancy. An An, do you still like that boy?" Mu Yan asked.

An An subconsciously touched her cheek and then shook her head.

"Since you don't like him anymore, why bother with them? Just treat them like clowns performing. Besides, you're a senior in high school, right? The college entrance exam is coming up. You should focus on your studies instead of following their madness," Mu Yan said kindly.

"I'm going abroad after high school. The college entrance exam doesn't mean much to me!" An An replied, but her tone clearly showed some sadness, indicating she didn't want to leave.

From her current tone and previous behavior, Mu Yan felt that An An seemed to be giving up on herself, almost self-destructive. Having a friend like Chu Qingqing in China might be a bit better, even though she likes to cause trouble, she is kind at heart. But abroad, in her current state, she might really fall into ruin.

Looking at An An carefully, she was indeed a very pretty girl. Although she didn't have Chu Qingqing's beautiful legs, her features were quite delicate, with a gentle and refined charm.

"An An's family used to run a company, but it went bankrupt last year. Her parents then divorced, and she was awarded to her mother by the court. Her mother is now married to a fake foreigner and will be going abroad in a month or two. Her father gave up the company and his house, and still owes hundreds of thousands of yuan. Even if An An wanted to stay with her father, the creditors would likely harm her!" Chu Qingqing said.

Mu Yan hadn't expected An An to have such a background. After Chu Qingqing mentioned this, he noticed that An An's expression became even more downcast, clearly filled with sorrow. It was obvious she wasn't faking it; Mu Yan didn't believe a high school girl could act so well.

Mu Yan felt some sympathy for the girl, but then he thought about it and his gaze fixed on Chu Qingqing.

"What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that!" Chu Qingqing felt a bit uneasy under Mu Yan's gaze.

Mu Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Chu Qingqing, you called me here and made such a big deal out of An An's situation. You didn't just want me to help her once, right? Otherwise, why would you reveal your good friend's wounds to a stranger like me?"

Hearing this, Chu Qingqing's face turned awkward, and she immediately hugged Mu Yan's arm, shaking it and pouting, "Brother Yan, you're so smart, I can't fool you. An An doesn't want to go abroad. Her mother is no good. In fact, her father's company went bankrupt because her mother drained all the money. If she goes with her mother, her life will be ruined. I could have handled this, but that fake foreigner has a passport from another country, so even if I tell my mother, it won't be easy to solve. Even if there's a way, we can't afford to wait."

"If your mother can't solve it, how can I, an ordinary person, solve it?" Mu Yan laughed.

"An ordinary person? An ordinary person can easily defeat three border guards and be so ruthless, not caring about retaliation," Chu Qingqing countered, her face full of disbelief.

"Ha ha!"

Mu Yan hadn't expected the girl to observe so carefully and could only laugh awkwardly. "So, what do you want to do?"

Chu Qingqing leaned close to Mu Yan's ear and whispered softly, "You capture her mother and that fake foreigner, interrogate them harshly, and make them confess how they drained An An's father's company. Then I'll have my mother intervene and have them arrested for fraud."

Mu Yan immediately tapped Chu Qingqing's head and said, "How can you come up with such a bad idea?"

"Don't hit my head, I'll get stupid!" Chu Qingqing rubbed her head, pouting as if she had been greatly hurt.

Feeling that Mu Yan disagreed, An An, who had been slightly hopeful, seemed even more disappointed.

Mu Yan subconsciously noticed her disappointed eyes and suddenly felt something deep inside him stir.

He remembered that when he last saw Yuting, she had the same look in her eyes. At that moment, the two sets of eyes seemed to overlap!

Yuting had also left the country after being hurt, and now she had become someone she didn't even recognize. Could the same happen to An An?

Mu Yan originally didn't want to get involved in this messy situation. Many things were just the girl's assumptions, and the situation might not be as Chu Qingqing described. But at that moment, Mu Yan had a strong feeling that he didn't want An An to go abroad.

Although he didn't know An An at all, Mu Yan realized that, in a way, he was seeing her as that young girl from the past. He didn't want that girl to change.

"An An, do you really not want to go abroad with your mother? Are you willing to stay with your father even if it means suffering?" Mu Yan suddenly asked An An very seriously.

An An, whose expression had been dark, suddenly had a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Without hesitation, she nodded vigorously, "I don't want to go with my mother. I'm willing to stay and endure any hardship!"

Mu Yan felt the determination in An An's heart and suddenly thought about whether Yuting had also fought for herself when she learned she had to leave. Thinking of this, his heart ached.

"Alright, as long as you have this resolve, I can help you! As long as you don't want to leave, no one can make you go!" Mu Yan gave An An a direct promise.
