Chapter 73

When Mu Yan caused a public outrage among his colleagues, as the instigator of the incident, he had already arrived at the entrance of No. 7 High School.

Yesterday, after gaining the approval of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, Mu Yan confidently came to pick up Zhou Wenwen.

With a smile, he inquired about Zhou Wenwen's office and headed straight there. Upon arriving, he learned that Wenwen was still in the classroom. Not wanting to go directly to the classroom to find her, he decided to take a walk around the school.

It had been ten years since Mu Yan last visited No. 7 High School. Compared to ten years ago, the coal cinder track had been replaced by a plastic one, and a brand new teaching building had been added. The saplings planted by the school years ago had grown into towering trees along the edge of the playground.

Stopping in front of a large tree, Mu Yan couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart. On the tree, he found two hearts pierced by an arrow, which he and Yu Ting had carved together. The innocence of those days resurfaced, but now, seeing it only brought him sorrow.

For Mu Yan, everything had changed. Just like the hearts that had deformed as the tree grew, his relationship with her had also completely changed.

Mu Yan took a deep breath, checked the time, and saw it was almost six o'clock. He decided to head back to Zhou Wenwen's office. However, he didn't expect to see a familiar and beautiful figure when he turned around.

"Huh!"

Watching the figure walk past, Mu Yan felt a sense of surprise. He discovered that Yao Leilei, the policewoman with a violent streak, was walking out of the school with a man, smiling brightly. He recognized the man as Jiang Feifan, who had once tried to make a move on Wenwen.

"That girl is actually dating someone, and it's that Jiang guy. I never would have thought!" Mu Yan muttered to himself, but he didn't interfere. After all, love is free, and he had no connection with that girl. He just hoped that Jiang Feifan wouldn't be involved in the investigation of his mother's case, or else Yao Leilei's love might end as soon as it began.

Seeing Yao Leilei, Mu Yan planned to find a time to ask Zhang Huangyan about the progress of the investigation. However, for now, he decided to spend time with Wenwen.

When he arrived at the office, Wenwen had just finished work. Under the watchful eyes of her colleagues, Mu Yan smiled and left with Wenwen, effectively declaring to everyone at No. 7 High School that Wenwen was taken. This would surely disappoint many young male teachers.

Because her parents had agreed to their relationship, Zhou Wenwen was particularly happy, leaning against Mu Yan with her beautiful big eyes curved into crescents.

Since Wenwen had finished work a bit late, it was already past six o'clock when they left the school. They decided to have dinner at Xiangweilou, a restaurant nearby.

"Leilei!" As soon as they entered Xiangweilou, Mu Yan saw Yao Leilei and Jiang Feifan heading upstairs. Zhou Wenwen, spotting them, called out to Yao Leilei, who was already on the second floor.

Yao Leilei looked in their direction and saw Zhou Wenwen waving at her, standing next to a man she despised. It was clear that Wenwen and the man had a close relationship.

Seeing that Yao Leilei had noticed her, Zhou Wenwen said to Mu Yan, "Brother Yan, that's Teacher Yao, who just joined our school. She teaches music and is very skilled in dance!"

Mu Yan had intended to ask Wenwen how she knew Yao Leilei, but he was surprised to learn that Yao Leilei had become a teacher at No. 7 High School. He immediately understood that Zhang Huangyan had assigned her to the school.

Thinking about it, having Yao Leilei, a policewoman, protect Qingqing was indeed more convenient. Moreover, Yao Leilei was skilled, though it was unexpected that she was also a music teacher.

Seeing Zhou Wenwen so close to Mu Yan, Yao Leilei immediately became worried for Wenwen. Although they had only known each other for a few days, Yao Leilei liked Wenwen's personality and had quickly become good friends. In her eyes, Mu Yan was a kept man supported by a wealthy woman, and Wenwen must have been deceived by him.

Yao Leilei felt a strong urge to protect Wenwen and considered how to warn her that this guy was no good.

In fact, Zhou Wenwen had the same thoughts. She believed that although Jiang Feifan was the son of the education bureau director, he was actually a playboy who only knew how to indulge in pleasure. Yao Leilei probably didn't know about Jiang Feifan's bad reputation and had been deceived.

Zhou Wenwen clearly remembered that just two days ago, her father had heard that Jiang Feifan was pursuing her and wanted to arrange a match. Her mother, being more cautious, had her father investigate Jiang Feifan's character. Upon learning that he was a playboy, they were relieved that they hadn't made a hasty decision. Otherwise, even though his background was complex, marrying such a person would have been harmful to her daughter. This led to the arrangement with Xu Zhuren's cousin.

At this moment, both women harbored their own suspicions and looked at each other's companions with ill intent.

Jiang Feifan hadn't expected to run into Zhou Wenwen and Mu Yan here. Last time, he had hinted to Fang Yongcheng to cause trouble for Mu Yan, but after hearing Zhang Kai's words, he had become uneasy. He then used his connections to investigate Mu Yan's case. When he saw the photo of the man who had been stabbed over a hundred times by Mu Yan, his entire body shuddered.

He was wealthy and powerful, but even so, he feared someone who didn't care about his life. He thought that if he really angered Mu Yan, one day Mu Yan might hide in a corner and wait for him, and then...

Jiang Feifan didn't dare to think further. Although he was reluctant, he decided it was better to give up on that crazy guy. Moreover, a new teacher who was no less beautiful than Zhou Wenwen had just joined the school, so he shifted his attention to her.

After a few days of effort, he had made significant progress. Although Teacher Yao hadn't agreed to date him, she was willing to have dinner with him. He believed that if things continued this way, in a month at most, he could get this fiery-figured teacher into bed. A few days ago, he had learned from Wu Tiankui how to read women. Although he wasn't entirely sure, he was at least 70-80% confident that Teacher Yao was still a virgin, which was why he was willing to invest time in Yao Leilei.

Since he no longer intended to pursue Zhou Wenwen and had Yao Leilei by his side, Jiang Feifan was quite generous and polite, saying, "It's Mr. Mu and Teacher Zhou. Since we've run into each other, why don't you join us for dinner? I've booked a private room."

"Sure!"

On a date, the last thing he wanted was a third wheel. Jiang Feifan was being polite to Zhou Wenwen, but he didn't expect her to agree so readily. He was taken aback and sighed inwardly, "In the past, you refused me no matter what, but now you agree so easily?"
