Chapter 508: Chapter 499: Slapping the Golden Finger Rebirth Girl 27
After Xiao Yuan dropped Anning off at school, she headed towards her classroom and on the way, all the students she met looked at her with apologetic eyes.
A few students even ran up to her and apologized, "Yu Anning, weāre sorry. We believed in rumors without any investigation and said things that slandered you, we are really sorry."
Anning was stunned for a moment, sizing up these students, "What... what happened to you guys? Why the sudden apology?"
A few other students came over and explained the situation to Anning.
Anning realized, "So thatās what happened, itās nothing. Everyone makes mistakes, and I often make mistakes too. Just try not to repeat this kind of error in the future."
She smiled, "I didnāt really take those words to heart. Iāve been focusing on my studies recently and havenāt heard much of the rumors, so donāt be too hard on yourselves."
Seeing how open-minded and good-tempered Anning was, the students felt even more remorseful, "We will definitely not believe nor spread rumors in the future. Um... can we help you with anything?"
Anning quickly waved her hands, "No need, no need, Iām doing quite well now. Iāve received a first-class scholarship this time, which is enough for my expenses for a while. Iāve also found some translation jobs online. The money isnāt much, but itās enough to support myself. Being able to fend for myself actually makes me quite happy."
The more she spoke, the more those who had wronged her felt sorry for Anning.
They realized that Anning was such a good person and regretted how they treated her in the past.
Many made up their minds to protect Anning in the future and ensure she wouldnāt be hurt again.
After entering the classroom, Anning received lots of food and small gifts from her classmates.
Seeing the pile of items on her desk, Anning was a bit amused, "Hmm, class is about to start, is it appropriate to stack these things on my desk? And donāt treat me like a fragile plant, Iām really not suffering, Iām doing just fine."
To affirm this, Anning nodded vigorously.
Yet even as she spoke assertively, she still seemed delicate and soft.
Everyone understood by looking at her that Anning was neither vindictive nor sanctimonious; she just naturally looked that way, there was no helping it.
Actually, Anningās heart was good, and she was a strong girl.
Due to their previous misunderstandings, her classmates were particularly nice and careful in protecting her throughout the afternoon.
After Xiao Yuan sent Anning away, Secretary He arrived.
He was there to report to Xiao Yuan.
"Teacher, Iāve already hired naval forces to spread the news of Miss Ning doing good deeds on the Thirteen Middle School forum, but..."
"But what?"
Xiao Yuan moved from the driverās seat and let Secretary He drive.
He sat in the back seat and closed his eyes to rest.
"But thereās another force clearing Miss Ningās name. This force has released some photos we couldnāt find and steered the opinion of Thirteen Middle School."
Secretary He reported truthfully.
Xiao Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze deep and obscure: "Did you find out?"
Secretary He carefully responded, "No, we couldnāt find out."
Xiao Yuan frowned, "Keep searching."
He felt uneasy.
According to Secretary He, clearly, another unknown but powerful force was protecting Anning. This force was mysterious and strong; even his people couldnāt trace it, which indicated that the people behind it were also influential and resourceful.
And this forceās reasons for covertly protecting Anning was, perhaps, somewhat similar to his own.
Xiao Yuan thought about his ulterior motives towards Anning and felt even more stifled.
He liked someone and others liked her too, even secretly wanting to snatch her away?
How is that possible?
Xiao Yuan suddenly became overprotective.

Little did he know, it was all done by An Xin, how could he imagine that it was all An Xinās doing, and how could Secretary He possibly find out about a system that An Xin wanted to investigate?
Xiao Yuan could not find any information on An Xin.
But it was easy for An Xin to investigate him.
When Anning got out of school in the afternoon, An Xin told her about the things Xiao Yuan had done.
A slight smile appeared on Anningās lips, and her mood visibly improved a lot.
However, Anningās good mood did not last long.
She met Father Yu and Mother Yu at the doorstep of her home.
Those two had clearly been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Anning, Mother Yu almost cried.
She approached with concern and asked, "Ningning, have you returned? Are you tired? Were you bullied at school..."
Anningās face remained cold: "I wasnāt bullied, and by the way, I need to go home now. Could you please move aside and not block my door?"
Mother Yu looked quite embarrassed.
Father Yu cleared his throat: "Ningning, the previous incident was a mistake on part of your mother and me, we misunderstood you and even hurt you, weāre really sorry, could you... Your mom and I will try our best to make amends, do you think you could move back in? After all, itās somewhat dangerous for a young girl to live alone outside."
Anning almost laughed, though in a mocking manner, of course.
"Dad, moving out wasnāt just a day or twoās matter. You know that I moved out without a penny, have you ever shown any concern by asking if I had money for meals? How Iām managing my life? Now suddenly you show up caring about my safety ā itās really not necessary. Iām living well here, and the neighbors around are all good people, I donāt have any problems."
She looked at Father Yu, her voice cold and deliberate: "When I left, Dad declared that he would never acknowledge me as his daughter anymore. Iāve been out for so long, and have long since let goāour family ties are indeed shallow. I have no expectations, so Iād appreciate it if you and Mom wouldnāt disturb me anymore."
She pushed past Father Yu, took out her keys, opened the door, and went inside.
Father Yu and Mother Yu wanted to follow in, but Anning was exceptionally quick. She immediately closed the door, shutting Father Yu and Mother Yu outside.
Mother Yu felt extremely distressed.
She looked at Father Yu: "Old Yu, what should we do? Ningning seemingly wonāt forgive us, what should we..."
Father Yu sighed deeply.
Seeing the condition of the house Anning lived in, he felt profound discomfort.
Such a small and simple house, how did Anning bear it?
She lived here alone, cleaning up by herself, cooking her own meals, and finding ways to earn money. Being in the second year of high school was already extremely stressful, and she had to worry about so many things on top of her studiesāitās no wonder she fainted before.
At this moment, Father Yu was filled with regret.
She was his own daughter; whether he was bewitched or whatever, how could he bear to drive her out?
"Letās just go back for now."
Father Yu seemed to have aged several years in an instant, and he took Mother Yu downstairs: "The child canāt accept it now, letās just wait for a while, and take things slowly."
Mother Yu also sighed: "Sigh, Iāve finally understood, itās really easy to hurt someone, perhaps it just takes one thing to break a personās heart, but warming a heart is incredibly difficult."
