Chapter 001: The Female Ghost

  Yang Hua was in a bad mood all morning and didn't sleep well either.

  He himself doubted whether he was sick, his eyes kept glancing at Xie Yuting's empty seat, but for the entire morning, Xie Yuting's figure did not appear in the classroom.

  This girl has never missed a class without reason before, and now she's got Yang Hua stumped.

  Yang Hua was puzzled, why did she feel like she had lost her soul? Was this what it meant to be in love? Had she really fallen for that little girl? It seemed that being in love wasn't always a good thing.

  Yang Hua, who was still daydreaming there, suddenly saw the figure of their class teacher Li Si appearing in the classroom.

  "Yang Hua, come with me to the school office."

  Yang Hua was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the class teacher was up to, and stood up to respond with an "oh".

  Silently followed him.

  On the road, Li Si turned his head and took a glance at Yang Hua.

  "Did you go out with Xie Yuting yesterday?" Li Si asked with a smile, narrowing his eyes.

  When he heard Xie Yuting's name, Yang Hua felt a pang of sadness for no reason and nodded slowly, saying: "En."

  "Ah, no wonder they've been spreading rumors everywhere. It seems there's really something going on." Li Si said to himself.

  Only Yang Hua behind him, because he was lowering his head and didn't hear it either, followed by asking: "Class leader, what are you going to the school office for?"

  Li Si smiled and said: "You'll know when you get there, now you're a celebrity in the whole school."

  Yang Hua, who was following Li Si, was even more stunned.

  "What does it mean?" Yang Hua asked in a low voice.

  Li Si smiled slightly: "You'll know later." After that, he stopped talking, and Yang Hua was confused.

  The two of them soon arrived at the school office.

  Outside the school office, there were actually 4 black Mercedes parked.

  Yang Hua was stunned, because the school gate was strictly guarded and vehicles were not allowed to enter or leave the campus, but now it seemed that the four Mercedes-Benz cars were parked in a row at the entrance of the principal's office.

  What's even stranger is that next to the four people running around, there were 5 or 6 men in suits standing there. Two of them Yang Hua recognized at a glance - they were the two who followed Xie Yuting yesterday.

  Yang Hua had been thinking and was now following him to the door of the school office.

  Li Si said: "Yang Hua, wait here for a moment, I'll go talk to the principal."

  Yang Hua nodded.

  Li Si gently knocked on the door.

  "Come in."

  Li Si gently pushed open the door, and inside stood so many people.

  Only the principal, Kong Xiangwei, was seen standing in the front.

  And in the principal's seat was a man wearing a suit, with a stern face, who had not spoken throughout. The Rolex watch visible on his wrist during the handshake revealed that this man must be extremely successful in his career.

  Behind the man stood a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking refined and elegant. His face seemed to always wear a smile, making people feel good at first sight.

  And on the left of this bespectacled man is Xie Yuting and Siyan.

  Principal Kong Xiangwei seemed to be extremely respectful of the man sitting in his seat, and slowly said: "Director Xie, that student has arrived."

  The man known as General Xie did not speak, but the bespectacled man next to him smiled slightly and said: "Then trouble Principal Kong, let that student come in for a moment, so General Xie can see him."

  "Yes, yes." Principal Kong hastily nodded in response.

  "Come in." Principal Kong said towards the outside of the door.

  Yang Hua heard the sound and slowly walked in.

  Entering the office and taking a look, there were so many people, and Xie Yuting was also here with Four-Eyed Man, couldn't help but be stunned.

  "Is it him?" The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses looked at Yang Hua with a smile.

  Principal Kong hastily said: "Yes, that's right, he is Yang Hua, a first-year student in the Department of Literature."

  Yang Hua was even more surprised and couldn't think of why these few unfamiliar people wanted to see him. Moreover, Xie Yuting and that four-eyed man were also there. He couldn't help but take a few more glances.

  From the man's posture and luxurious attire in front of him, he knew that the man in front of him was not an ordinary person.

  The only sound that echoed in the office was a loud and clear voice, which turned out to be the majestic man who had been silent all along and was called General Manager Xie. He looked at Yang Hua with his eyes slightly raised and asked: "Were you with Tingting yesterday?"

  Yang Hua's head was stunned for a moment, and he was dazed.

  He glanced at Xie Yuting, and Xie Yuting's pretty face turned bright red.

  Yang Hua came back to his senses and nodded at the man who gave him an intangible sense of pressure: "En."

  The man named Xie looked at Yang Hua carefully and suddenly said: "Speak up, what is it that you want the most?"

  As soon as this was said, everyone was stunned, even Principal Kong was stunned.

  Yang Hua, who was standing there, didn't understand what was going on either. He looked at one and then the other, and sighed helplessly, saying: "I don't know what you mean by that?"

  The man in front of him, who seemed to exert an invisible pressure on people, did not seem willing to say another word, and instead quietly closed his eyes.

  "What Mr. Xie means is, up to now, do you have anything you want? Whether it's money or something else, as long as you think about it in your heart, you can say it out loud now?" The man with glasses next to him always had a smiling expression and explained to Yang Hua.

  The man in front of him, called Xie Zong, also seemed to be extremely approving of the translation of what the bespectacled man had said, and he nodded silently.

  Yang Hua was even more puzzled, what kind of play is this? Until now, he still didn't understand what's going on.

  The man wearing glasses smiled and said, "This classmate, you may not understand yet. This Miss Xie Yuting is the daughter of our CEO Xie. The CEO heard that you recklessly protected her yesterday, so he came here first to thank you in person. Second, because the CEO has always disliked owing others a favor, he wants to repay you. Do you understand now?"

  Yang Hua finally understood at this time.

  It turns out that Xie Yuting's family is indeed a well-known one in Iran City.

  And the man in front of her who gave people pressure was Xie Yuting's father, no wonder Xie Yuting was here.

  Yang Hua glanced at Xie Yuting, Xie Yuting's face was pale, and she didn't say a word from start to finish.

  "My friend, you can now say what you want. I dare to guarantee that as long as you can say it and it's not something outrageous, in this city of Iran, whatever you want, we can give it to you, and right now." The man with glasses said with a smile.

  In his world, perhaps money is always the thing that dominates everything.

  The principal Kong beside him took a deep breath.

  They all looked at Yang Hua.

  But he didn't expect Yang Hua to say calmly to Xie Yuting's father, "Mr. Xie, I appreciate your kindness, but I think it's not a big deal. I'm just classmates with Xie Yuting, and when a classmate is in trouble, I believe any student from school would help out. Besides, Xie Yuting..." He glanced at Xie Yuting as he spoke.

  "In the end, it was still Wang Wei who helped me out of trouble, so I can only silently appreciate your kind intentions."

  He finished speaking, and everyone in the entire office was stunned.

  Xie looked at the young man in his early twenties in front of him, and a look of appreciation involuntarily appeared on his face.

  "Director Xie?" The man with glasses next to him smiled and asked the man called Director Xie, apparently this major matter still had to wait for Director Xie's words.

  Xie Yuting's father didn't say much, as if speaking was a luxury for him. He slowly pulled out a business card from his pocket and handed it to the man wearing glasses.

  The man wearing glasses took over, turned his head and smiled knowingly at Yang Hua: "Okay, since this classmate is so selfless, we can't just give you some material things. Here's a name card from our boss Xie, if you need anything in Tehran in the future, just take this card to that address, okay?"

  "Oh, right, and there's one more thing. Because of what happened to Miss Xie Yuting this time, we were considering her safety situation...". The man with glasses cleared his throat twice.

  "So, for her safety, from now on no outsider can get close to Miss Xie again."

  The man wearing glasses emphasized the two words "outsider" particularly heavily.

  He smiled and looked at Yang Hua, who suddenly felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on her heart.

  Yang Hua was stunned, he turned his head to take a look at Xie Yuting, whose face had become even paler, but quickly turned back, and the man's words were undoubtedly another blow to Yang Hua's already aching heart.

  "Yes, I think Mr. Xie's approach is undoubtedly the best for this matter." His words were crisp and concise.

  Everyone stared at Yang Hua in surprise.

  Yang Hua said again: "From today on, I, Yang Hua, guarantee that I will never get close to Miss Xie again, so as not to affect the safety of Miss Xie and her family."

  He said this while deliberately repeating the words "Xie family's eldest young lady" with emphasis, without even turning his head towards Xie Yuting, but no one saw Xie Yuting's frail body suddenly tremble.

  Yang Hua continued: "Also, I actually said it earlier, this time helping out is purely a classmate's feelings, so for Mr. Xie's good intentions, I Yang Hua still say the same thing, thank you very much, but I don't want any of your things."

  Yang Hua finished speaking, and the whole office fell silent, with everyone staring at this student.

  Yang Hua suddenly turned his head and said: "Principal, if there's nothing else here, I'll leave first. I have class soon."

  Principal Kong's face showed a look of helplessness. He turned his head to glance at Xie Zong, who was sitting in the back, and saw that Mr. Xie, Xie Yuting's father, nodded slightly.

  "Alright, go to class first," said Principal Kong, turning his head.

  Yang Hua walked slowly with a heavy heart and came out to take a look.

  Inside the office, Xie Yuting's voice suddenly rang out: "Dad, what are you doing?" Her voice was tinged with a sob.

  Xie Yuting's father looked at his beloved daughter: "Tingting, Dad just wanted to thank your classmates."

  Xie Yuting said with her lip bitten: "Dad, do you think everyone is like you and regards money as that important?"

  "What nonsense."

  Suddenly a loud shout, the man called Xie Zong suddenly stood up at once.

  Xie Yuting, who had never been yelled at since she was a child, couldn't bear it anymore. Tears fell down like broken pearls, and she suddenly ran out of the school office alone.

  "Xiao Ting." The four-eyed boy shouted a sentence, but ultimately didn't chase after her.

  Xie Yuting's father was furious, and no one in the office dared to speak.

  He just heard Mr. Xie sigh and sat back upright again.

  No one dared to make a sound beside him.

  After a while, Xie finally spoke slowly: "Xiao Wei."

  "Uncle." said Wang Wei, the four-eyed man.

  Xie said slowly: "You and Tingting grew up together, have some free time to advise her, don't always be so petty."

  The four-eyed man responded with a grunt: "En."

  "By the way, your father, let me tell you that he might come to Iran City for a visit during this period." Mr. Xie said, looking at Four Eyes.

  "Oh, really? Dad is coming here?" The four-eyed man was visibly excited.

  "Yes, you've forgotten, in a little over a month it's my birthday, can he not come?" said General Xie with a smile.

  Siyan Wang Wei hastily said: "Then I'll first wish Uncle a happy birthday."

  "Haha, we're all of the same age, what's there to be happy about? That Tingting is always getting on my nerves from morning till night." Mr. Xie sighed and said.

  "There's nothing wrong with her, she's just a bit like that. Don't worry about it, Uncle. I'll talk to her later and she'll be fine." said Four-Eyed Wang Wei.

  "Ah, okay. By the way, what was that student's name again?" Zong thought back.

  "From the Literature Department," said Principal Kong hastily, "call Yang Hua."

  "Oh, Yang Hua..."
