"Would you prefer to have one hand or none at all?" Zhou Xiaoshuai didn't hesitate to choose the former.

Having been lectured by Xu Fan, he was crying so much that tears fell! Damn it, he had never felt so pathetic in his life!

"Xu Fan, well done!"

Soon after, Zhou Xiaoshuai and his grandfather left the office in a sorry state, which was when Zhou Keren couldn't help but shout excitedly!

Although Xu Fan's approach was somewhat inappropriate for a student, Zhou Keren really couldn't stand bullies who abused their power!

But at a glance from Xu Fan's eyes, she quickly realized that the principal was still beside them.

"Principal, I'm sorry, I got a bit carried away…" she said, sticking out her tongue, quickly explaining.

Yan Ruyu smiled and shook her head, saying, "Alright, no need to explain. Let's just leave it at that for this time. Mr. Zhou, please take Xu Fan and leave."

"Yes, Principal. Xu Fan, let's go."

Zhou Keren nodded and began to leave with Xu Fan.

Xu Fan did not leave directly; he thought of Yan Ruyu's illness and couldn't help but glance at her.

But this woman, she didn't even look his way…

Therefore, Xu Fan guessed that bringing up the treatment again would be futile. Reluctantly, he could only follow Zhou Keren out of the classroom for now.

"Mr. Zhou, what is Principal Yan's background exactly?"

Once outside the classroom, Xu Fan asked Zhou Keren.

He had been surprised when he first saw Yan Ruyu; this woman, so young, yet already a school principal. Now, it seemed her family background was not simple.

Many people had probably inquired about this. Zhou Keren was not surprised and explained, "Principal Yan Ruyu is from the Yan Family in Jinling. The Yan Family in Jinling can certainly be called a family of scholars. Although not as wealthy as the Xia Family or as powerful as the Gao Family, no one in this region can match them in terms of cultural heritage."

Xu Fan nodded. Judging from the way Yan Ruyu conducted herself, she did indeed seem like a woman from a family of scholars. Perhaps it was fate that she had contracted this strange illness—it was almost like she was another Lin Daiyu.

"Mr. Zhou, do you know where Principal Yan's family lives?"

The delay in treating Yan Ruyu's illness was not doing any good. Xu Fan thought that since talking to Yan Ruyu herself hadn't been very effective, perhaps he should see what her family planned to do.

"Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Zhou Keren, unaware of Xu Fan's intentions, looked at him suspiciously.

Xu Fan smirked and said, "Oh, it's nothing important. I just wanted to see if her family needs a very handsome son-in-law."

"Pff, you?"

Zhou Keren laughed uncontrollably. This guy was always talking nonsense. How could the Yan Family, big and influential, ever consider him, a mere youngster?

"Hey, babe, you're not planning to keep this from me because you're afraid that I'll be snatched away by another woman, are you?"

At that moment, Xu Fan added another comment, infuriating Zhou Keren almost to the point of jumping.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Why would I be jealous over you?"

She glanced sideways at Xu Fan, slightly nervous, then said, "Since you insist on this disappointment, I might as well tell you."

As a teacher at Zijing Middle School, Zhou Keren naturally knew where Yan Ruyu lived. Provoked by Xu Fan, she directly told him.

She wasn't worried about Xu Fan causing trouble. Yan Family's security was tight; whether he could even set foot inside the Yan Family's main gate was unknown.

"Hehe, thanks."

Now that he had Yan Ruyu's address, Xu Fan chuckled to himself. Next, he could perhaps talk to her family.

In a flash, Xu Fan couldn't help but admire his own dedication. To save someone, tsk tsk, such dedication…

Soon, it was time to leave school, and Xu Fan rushed alone to the Yan Family's residence.

The Yan Family's home was in the same neighborhood as Uncle Yao, whom he had last visited with Sister Lan for a birthday celebration.

This was not surprising since the Yan Family was known for their scholarly background, living in this area was normal.

Soon, Xu Fan had taken a taxi to the grand entrance of the Yan Family's villa.

After getting out of the taxi, he walked toward the villa alone, but before he could take another step forward, he was directly stopped by two security guards at the door.

At this point, Xu Fan realized why Zhou Keren had given him Ruyu's address so readily.

This woman, she must have believed that he couldn't even pass the first barrier.

"Hmm? This young friend?"

As he was pondering whether to force his way through or think of another method, suddenly, a voice rang out from beside him.

"Hmm, Uncle Yao?"

Xu Fan looked to the side and recognized the elderly man walking toward him, and he couldn't help but smile, not expecting to run into him.

"Hehe, young man, I really enjoyed the birthday gift you sent me last time!"

At the last birthday feast, Sister Lan had spoken highly of him, and the old man had a very favorable impression of him, and now he enthusiastically approached.

"Hmm? Xu Fan, are you here to see Old Man Qiu?"

After chatting for a while, Uncle Yao realized that Xu Fan seemed to have been stopped outside the door.

Xu Fan smiled wryly and nodded, saying, "Yes, Uncle Yao, I have some important matters to discuss with him, but as you can see..."

"Hehe, that's easy to handle, they're just two gatekeeping dogs!"

Uncle Yao gave a slight smile, clearly not taking the trouble seriously, and directly scolded the security guards at the Yan Family's gate: "Aren't you going to let him through?"

"This..."

The presence of two bodyguards following behind Uncle Yao was enough to show that this elderly man was not to be trificked with, and the security guards' eyes showed a hint of difficulty.

"What? Is Dragon Yao's face not worth anything now? Why don't I ask Old Man Qiu later how he disciplines his gatekeeping dogs?"

Uncle Yao's face was stern, and the several security guards were immediately trembling with fright.

After such words were said, any hesitation might cost them their jobs.

"Haha, Xu Fan, there you go! The gate is open, come on, I'm familiar with Old Man Qiu's house, I'll take you in!"

At this point, Uncle Yao was pulling Xu Fan to enter, and Xu Fan grinned somewhat bitterly.

He had intended to handle this matter alone, but now he had involved the old man...

This was truly awkward...

Driven by Uncle Yao's warmth, Xu Fan had no other choice but to follow him inside.

It seemed that Dragon Yao had not lied; he was quite close to Yan Qiushan, and now with ease, he led Xu Fan into the Yan Family's villa.

"Yo? Everyone is here!"

At the moment, there were quite a few people in the villa's grand hall, seemingly there for some matter, and they turned to look at the entrance at the sound of Dragon Yao's voice.

The elder sitting in the main seat saw Dragon Yao stride in and couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile.

"Dragon Yao, you old man, can't you be a bit quieter?"

It looked like their relationship was indeed good. Dragon Yao chuckled and said, "Old Man Qiu, I didn't come today out of boredom. I have someone I want you to meet!"
