Chapter 1348 Unrequited Love 2
As she spoke, she glanced at Kim Hyuk, who was staring intently at her, and asked, "Is this the person in question?"
Chu Qian paused for a moment: "Yes, to put it bluntly, it's a small matter. Although it was the students who blocked the road and extorted money, it was my friend who started it first."
Jin He was displeased. He stood up and glared at Chu Qian: "Whose side are you on?"
Chu Qian spread his hands, unbiased: "You are all my friends, and these are her students, so please give me some face."
"She is also Shi Cheng's friend. Shi Cheng's younger sister, Yuexin, used to be her student. Shi Cheng has known her for several years."
Chu Qian had already brought up Shi Cheng, so Jin He knew he had to make peace today. He glanced at the four boys over there. "Fine, I'll give Chu Qian face and have them apologize to me. That's not too much to ask, is it?"
Xu Yanzhen also looked at the four students. When Han Yu, who was in the lead, met her gaze, he immediately bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry!"
He was the leader of the four-person group. As soon as he bowed his head, the other three immediately apologized as well, leaving Kim Hyuk somewhat satisfied. A nearby police officer promptly handed over a mediation agreement, which both parties signed, effectively resolving the matter.
Han Yu and three other students followed her out of the Municipal Bureau and stood outside the gate. Xu Yanzhen suddenly turned around and looked at the four students behind her.
Han Yu and his group immediately stopped in their tracks, and Jin He and Chu Qian, who were following behind, also stopped, eager to see how Xu Yanzhen would discipline the four students.
Instead of flying into a rage as they had expected, Xu Yanzhen waved her phone and said, "I've already contacted your parents. Just wait here for them to come pick you up. They'll be here soon."
"Han Yu, come with me."
Han Yu was somewhat reluctant: "Teacher Xu, I can go home by myself."
"Shut up and come with me." Xu Yanzhen looked at that unruly face and suddenly thought of a scene a few years later. When her marriage was not going well, it was Han Yu, this former troublemaker, who gave her a lot of comfort.
Later, in order to save her, Han Yu was in a car accident and injured his leg, spending more than half a year in bed before recovering.
So even though Han Yu was someone Xu Yanzhen disliked at the time, she still viewed him with a different perspective later on. He wasn't inherently bad; he just lacked guidance from an elder.
"Lawyer Chu, thank you so much for today. I'll treat you to dinner another day." Suppressing Han Yu's resistance, Xu Yanzhen looked at Chu Qian and thanked him formally.
Jin He looked at Xu Yanzhen with a predatory gaze: "Teacher Xu, you only thank Lawyer Chu?"
Xu Yanzhen forced a smile, clearly not wanting to deal with her ex-husband.
"I also thank you. Thank you for not leaving a stain on my students' reputation." Xu Yanzhen bowed solemnly to Jin He. Han Yu followed suit and bowed as well, and the other three followed suit.
Xu Yanzhen straightened up: "If it's convenient for you, I can also treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."
Jin He could hear the reluctance in her words and that she didn't want to deal with him. He twirled his fingers and suddenly laughed, "Alright, then when you treat Chu Lu to dinner, invite me too. After all, you, Shi Cheng, and Chu Lu have been friends for so many years, and I didn't know that at all."
"No matter what, Chu Lu and I have been friends since high school. We've known each other for over 20 years."
One look into his eyes and Xu Yanzhen knew that Jin He had once again taken a liking to her, just like in her past life. But so what? As long as she remained steadfast, Jin He couldn't sway her.
After exchanging a few more words, Xu Yanzhen left the Municipal Public Security Bureau with Han Yu.
After walking a few steps, Han Yu asked Xu Yanzhen, "Teacher Xu, where are you taking me?" "To find you a place to stay. You can't live in a sauna all the time." Xu Yanzhen pulled her coat tighter, and Han Yu silently walked to the upwind side, blocking most of the cold wind.
Xu Yanzhen glanced at him and said, "Don't do this kind of thing again. Today was only because I know the person involved's friend."
“I’m just a teacher, and I only know a limited number of people. If you cause trouble again next time, I might not be able to handle it.”
Han Yu silently followed in her footsteps: "Teacher, I didn't intend to do anything at first. I just wanted the money for two packs of cigarettes."
"You still have the nerve to talk back?" Xu Yanzhen immediately shot her a dagger. "A high school student smoking? You've got a death knell to be reckoned with!"
As she spoke, she grabbed her small crossbody bag and chased after Han Yu, starting to hit him. Han Yu covered his head and ran away, crying, "I was wrong, I was wrong! Teacher, I won't do it again!"
It's often said that homeroom teachers are very serious, but Xu Yanzhen is not like that at all; she has a very magnanimous personality. She gets along very well with her students, so she managed Class 15, which was considered a "bad class" by others, for two years without any problems.
Across the street, Jin He sat in his car, watching this scene with a slight smirk. He looked at Chu Qian: "How do you and this Teacher Xu know each other?"
"We met through Yuexin." Chu Qian also saw this scene. He slowly started the car: "Yuexin was rebellious in junior high school and didn't study hard, so she transferred to the class she taught."
“She did a lot for Yuexin. From that time on, the rebellious little girl listened to no one but her.”
"She also taught Yuexin through high school and continued until Yuexin went to college."
“They have kept in touch all these years and have a very good relationship.”
Jin He raised an eyebrow: "Is she being so nice to Yuexin? Is she after Shi Cheng?"
“You think too badly of people,” Chu Qian said, looking at the snow falling in front of him, and bluntly retorted to Jin He, “She doesn’t know about Yuexin’s family situation. She just can’t bear to see a little girl waste her life.”
Kim Hyuk couldn't help but think of how she had just bowed down to him for the sake of a few students: "Are there still teachers this responsible these days?"
Chu Qian: "Yes, she's always been like that, very responsible."
"Let's go for a drink. Shi Cheng and Yu Ning called a long time ago to urge us. We agreed to drink together on Christmas Eve, but it's been delayed until now."
Jin He tapped his index finger on the car window: "Give me this Teacher Xu's contact information. I want to get to know Teacher Xu better."
Chu Qian flatly refused: "Stop messing around. Teacher Xu is very serious about relationships. A playboy like you should stay away from her."
Kim Hyuk was unhappy, feeling belittled by his friend: "Can't I be serious?"
“You take every relationship seriously, but the longest you can stay serious is no more than three months.” Chu Qian’s words were so venomous they could kill him with a single lick: “Forget it, I’m not going to be an executioner.”

"Please take good care of Han Yu," Xu Yanzhen said, bowing repeatedly to the aunt across from her. She had not only found Han Yu a place to stay, but also a part-time job for him for a week.
As for a long-term part-time job, Xu Yanzhen plans to go back and ask Tan You for her opinion. This teacher Tan, who suddenly appeared, seems very capable; she should ask for help when necessary.
