"From now on, if you are ever in trouble, you can always come look for me," Tang Jingxuan said in seriousness, "No matter what it is..."
"OK," Xu Qingyan nodded casually. Perhaps, she would have never imagined that, one day, she would actually need Tang Jingxuan's help.
After this huge incident, Xu Qingyan and Tang Jingxuan once again graced the headlines with their presence. After all, in the past, the relations.h.i.+p between Song Yanshu and Tang Jingxuan wasn't simple but had now turned sour.
Anyone with eyes could tell that Song Yanshu's fiance had the intention to humiliate Tang Jingxuan at their engagement party. But, unfortunately for him, Tang Jingxuan had brought along Xu Qingyan.
In the end, not only did he fail, he ended up being humiliated instead as Xu Qingyan messed up his ceremony.
Entertainment news spread like wildfire and photos of Tang Jingxuan and Xu Qingyan were posted everywhere. Perhaps, to Tang Jingxuan, this wasn't much of an issue. But, to Xu Qingyan, this was a disaster.
Father Xu felt completely humiliated​! As a result, he locked her at home and refused to let her leave the house.
Meanwhile, at Hyatt Regency.
Tang Jingxuan was drinking some soup with Tangning.
"After this incident, I a.s.sume there will no longer be anything between you and Song Yanshu, am I right?" Tangning asked. "Initially, grandfather had high hopes for the two of you. Luckily, we saw through her early on. I can't deny that Yanshu is capable, but, it is impossible for me to agree with her views on love."
"Sis, I know what your are trying to say," Tang Jingxuan replied in seriousness.
"Good, let's talk about Xu Qingyan then. I've looked through the newspapers and seen the videos online. This old cla.s.smate of yours has sure treated you well."
"She is quite cute," Tang Jingxuan couldn't contain his smile, "She doesn't put up a front and is full of righteousness. She obviously..."
Tang Jingxuan stopped. He suddenly realized, it had been an entire day since the rumors started, but he had not heard from Xu Qingyan at all.
"Your rumors are currently spreading like wildfire, it's only right for you to step out and do something about it. I've heard that she doesn't have a very loving father. Don't let this young lady speak up for you innocently when she has no one to protect her."
Thinking about the way that Father Xu tortured Xu Qingyan, Tang Jingxuan suddenly put down the bowl in his hands and grabbed his jacket as he walked out the door, "Sis, I'm going to pop out for a bit."
Tangning knew where he was going, so she did not stop him. All she could do was smile to herself; there were some things that one had to experience for themselves before they could figure out what was most suited to them.
Tang Jingxuan had completely overlooked the problem with Father Xu. Now that he thought about it, he hadn't been able to get through to Xu Qingyan's phone and she had not replied to any of his messages; Father Xu must have gotten angry at her.
So, he increased his speed and rushed over to the Xu Household. However, as he arrived, he realized he didn't have keys to the house, so all he could do was climb up one of the walls.
Xu Qingyan had never imagined that she'd see Tang Jingxuan under these circ.u.mstances. Neither had she imagined that he'd climb up the pipe and tap on her window.
"Are you crazy? Climb back down, it's dangerous."
"Are you locked in here?" Tang Jingxuan asked as he clung easily to the pipe. "Do you want to leave? I can take you out of here..."
Xu Qingyan looked cautiously at the door and back out the window, "No, I can't leave."
"Heroine Xu once scaled the walls of the school dorms. Now that you've grown up, has your bravery shrunk?"
