“Of course! Once my dad gets here, we don’t have to stay. I’ll leave the rest to him.”
“Won’t that trouble your father?”
“Not at all. If he finds out I’m voluntarily studying, he might just buy fireworks to celebrate…”
While waiting for Ji Wenlin to arrive, Bai Mengze felt helpless about the situation. She also remembered she had to go home and supervise Ji Wenyan’s studying, wondering if that could still happen.
But Ji Wenyan was absolutely not giving up on going to Bai Mengze’s house!
Even if knives fell from the sky, it wouldn’t stop him.
After all, he still needed to raise Bai Mengze’s attributes.
And maybe find a quest or two along the way.
Seeing Ji Wenyan’s confident expression, Bai Mengze didn’t press further. She quietly waited for Ji Wenlin to arrive.
Since Ji Wenyan said it was fine, she might as well think about what to teach him first when they got to her house…
“Young… Young Master Ji, I was blind earlier and spoke nonsense! I was out of line. Please don’t hold it against me.”
As Ji Wenyan and Bai Mengze were talking, the shop assistant standing nearby hesitated, then walked over to plead for mercy.
Ji Wenyan raised an eyebrow, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
Where was that aggressive attitude from the supermarket, accusing him of being a thief?
She hadn’t seen him steal anything, yet she’d insisted he was guilty.
Now, with just a few words, she expected forgiveness?
No way.
Not even through the window.
“Forgive you? You were pretty tough in the supermarket just now. Now you’re backing down? Hmph. You can say whatever you want to my lawyer later.”
“I was wrong! Please don’t pursue this! I have a family to support—old and young. Have pity on them, don’t sue me!”
“Enough. My lawyer will be here soon.”
The assistant, hoping to play the sympathy card, saw that Ji Wenyan wasn’t buying it. Cold sweat dripped from her forehead in panic.
If this went to court, her family had no money to spare…
“T—this… You should be merciful where you can. Even if you’re a rich second generation, you can’t bully people like this!”
Resentment welled up inside her. This rich brat was too much—just because he had money, he thought he could act high and mighty!
If he hadn’t been born into a wealthy family, he wouldn’t be so arrogant!
Her tone turned indignant.
“Mercy? You didn’t see me steal anything in the supermarket, yet you falsely accused me out of spite… If I were just an ordinary student, how would this have ended? I’d have been taken to the police station as a thief. So don’t give me that. You made your choice; blame yourself.”
Ji Wenyan wasn’t naive. He saw right through her thoughts.
This wasn’t the first time he’d encountered such a situation.
He knew what people thought—that he, a rich kid, was throwing his weight around.
They cast themselves as the underdog and him as the villain, making themselves feel more innocent.
But they never considered…
What happened to the person falsely accused because of a lie?
Those who humiliate others will in turn be humiliated.
Ji Wenyan never used his background to bully others unprovoked. He only retaliated when people came after him.
But that didn’t make him a saint.
Back in private school, when other rich kids bullied others, he never stepped in.
Why bother with things that didn’t concern him?
Even if he stopped it once or twice, could he protect them forever?
If they wouldn’t fight back and relied on others, they’d be bullied for life.
Still, he’d run into scum trying to force themselves on girls. After stopping them, Ji Wenyan made sure they were expelled.
As for what followed, their family businesses collapsed overnight, buried in debt…
He didn’t meddle unnecessarily, but when something crossed the line, he couldn’t ignore it.
Hearing this, the assistant stepped back in guilt. Her lips moved, but no words came. Finally, she let out a regretful sigh.
She had been wrong…
Listening to Ji Wenyan and watching his handsome profile, Bai Mengze’s dark eyes sparkled.
Suddenly, she understood why she felt so close to him!
Beyond his warmth, he was trustworthy.
Both were rich kids, but Liang Quan wasn’t fit to tie Ji Wenyan’s shoes. Comparing them was an insult.
“Wenyan, are you alright? Were you hurt? I’ve called a doctor. He’ll be here—”
“Dad! I’m fine!!! If I didn’t know the reason, anyone listening would think I’m made of gold!”
“How can you be fine? Someone targeted you! The murderer hasn’t been caught yet. We have to be careful.”
“Relax, with Bai Mengze here, I’m perfectly safe! She just kicked the bad guy down. It was amazing!”
When Ji Wenlin arrived and saw Ji Wenyan standing by the police car, he hurried over anxiously, firing off questions. Ji Wenyan found it both touching and amusing.
But he understood.
The car accident last time had made his parents worry terribly.
They dreaded a repeat.
Though Ji Wenyan wanted to boast that he wasn’t afraid of death now, it was better to keep quiet, lest he end up dissected in a lab.
“Bai Mengze, thank you so much! If not for you, Wenyan wouldn’t have made it.”
“Uncle Ji, you’re too kind. Ji Wenyan was clever to spot the disguised reporter. I just happened to catch him.”
After speaking with Ji Wenyan, Ji Wenlin turned to thank Bai Mengze.
Bai Mengze was surprised. She’d only kicked once; why was Ji Wenlin making such a big deal?
Instead of accepting the praise, she complimented Ji Wenyan.
“Still, you went out of your—”
“Ah! Dad, stop with the thanks. I’ll leave this to you. I’m off to Bai Mengze’s to study!”
Ji Wenyan, basking in the compliment, held back his smug grin. He checked the time and cut off the pleasantries.
If they kept going, it would get dark!
How was he supposed to go to Bai Mengze’s house then?
“You’re going to study?”
“Yeah! Bai Mengze said she’d tutor me. She’s top of her grade at First High—a total study God!”
“In that case, go ahead. If you want, you don’t have to come back tonight… Stay until you’ve learned everything.”
“…”
Hearing that his son wanted to study, Ji Wenlin’s face showed the shock of seeing a sow climb a tree. His words made Ji Wenyan twitch his mouth speechlessly, then he quickly dragged Bai Mengze away.
He just wanted to study; did his dad have to be so dramatic?!
