Chapter 65 - She was starved...

After they left, Little Han Ye went back to his classroom with a lighter heart. The fear that he felt earlier had completely dissipated.

The last class had ended, and most of the kids had gone home. However, Little Wu Yuexue was still in the room, along with a few of their classmates.

When she saw him walking in with a relaxed expression, she smiled and said, "President Fan saved you?"

After the headmaster's assistant shooed them out of the office, Little Fan Wushuang gave her father's office a call. Little Wu Yuexue, who was worried about Little Han Ye, had kept her eyes out of the window during the classes.

When she caught a glimpse of President Fan's car, she knew that Little Han Ye would be fine.

Little Han Ye nodded. "He's much cooler in person than on TV."

President Fan Lei used to be an actor when he was younger, and he was the male lead in a few of the popular older shows. Little Han Ye had watched a few of the movies that President Fan Lei was in, and thus, he could recognize him.

Even though the man had gotten older, but Little Han Ye could still tell that it was him.

And after what happened earlier, he had a little admiration in his heart for President Fan, and he did not want to know that he was anything like his ex-stepfather.

"Yeah, he's pretty nice too…" Little Wu Yuexue said. She then chuckled and said in a soft voice, "Don't tell people this, but he's afraid of his wife…"

"Why?" Little Han Ye asked with a curious expression.

"It's cheesy..." Little Wu Yuexue laughed gently. "My parents said that President Fan loves his wife too much, to the point that he's too afraid to make her unhappy even the slightest…"

Little Han Ye laughed softly as well. However, he wanted to have a relationship that President Fan had with his wife. To him, a man who was afraid of his wife was a man in love. It was definitely better than a woman who was afraid of her husband.

He then walked to his seat at the left corner of the classroom. His seat was right behind Little Wu Yuexue and was the second row from the front.

"I can't believe that little brat Wushuang can have such a cool father… Is she really his biological daughter?" Little Han Ye asked as he packed his bag.

Little Wu Yuexue smiled and nodded. "She really is. You probably saw how he loving he was to her, right? How can that be otherwise?"

Little Han Ye nodded. He was a stepson before, so he thought that all stepfather would hate their stepchildren. "If he cares for her that much to come and settle such a small thing for her, then he must be her real father..." Han Ye thought as he finished packing up his stuff.

He then glanced at the clock in the classroom and asked, "It's getting a little late. Come, I'll walk you to your car before I go to the bus station."

"Why don't you come home with me and wait for your mum to finish her work?"

Little Han Ye's mother worked as a maid in Little Wu Yuexue's house. He thought for a moment before saying hesitantly, "But your parents don't like it…"

The last time he was there, his mother had given him some food in the fridge. When Little Wu Yuexue's mother found out, she had scolded his mother. He did not want his mother to get scolded again because of him.

Little Wu Yuexue sighed. She knew how difficult her mother could be. After a moment of thought, she said, "Hmm… How about I drop you at the fast food place near my house? I'll tell your mother to meet you there after work."

Little Han Ye thought about it for a moment before he nodded. "That would be great. Thanks."

He could save the bus money for tomorrow.

He then grinned happily at her.

"No problem…" Little Wu Yuexue said with a smile.

When they were in the car, Little Wu Yuexue saw that Little Han Ye was deep in thought, and out of curiosity, she asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, really…" Little Han Ye replied. When Little Wu Yuexue continued to look at him curiously, he sighed and answered honestly, "I'm just wondering how someone as gentle as you can be with someone as rough as Wushuang."

Little Wu Yuexue chuckled softly. "You have to forgive her. After all, she's 2 years younger than us. Of course her actions would be somewhat immature as well…"

"Still… Doesn't she have other friends? She hangs out with you all the time." Little Han Ye did not want Little Wu Yuexue to be corrupted by that little girl. He liked how gentle and kind Little Wu Yuexue was, and he definitely did not want her to turn into Little Fan Wushuang, noisy and boisterous.

Little Wu Yuexue sighed as she glanced out the window. After a moment of silence, she said, "Actually, she's quite pitiful as well…"

Little Han Ye scoffed, "Pitiful? Her? I think all the teachers that were pranked by her before were more pitiful."

"No… Well, yeah… But Wushuang is quite pitiful as well…" Little Wu Yuexue looked at Han Ye as she continued, "My parents said that she used to be really well-behaved. When she was younger, her parents were quite strict with her. However, because of their jobs, they were often away from home. At that time, she was mostly raised by her nanny... One day, when she was around four or five years old, her nanny kidnapped her."

"What?!" Little Han Ye gasped loudly.

Little Wu Yuexue sighed. "The police caught the nanny quickly. My dad said that she was addicted to drugs, and in her drug-fuelled mind, she had kidnapped Wushuang. When the police caught her, she's already overdosed. Nobody knew where Wushuang was being kept at. It took the policemen 4 days before they could find her."

Little Wu Yuexue paused for a moment as she tried to recollect what her parents told her before. Little Han Ye could tell that she was trying to think, so he did not bother her.

After a while, she continued, "I'm not sure what's the exact story was, but I heard that they found her in a small bas.e.m.e.nt somewhere. She was starved and dehydrated, and she was so weak that everyone thought that she might not survive."

Somehow angry for what had happened to Little Fan Wushuang a long time ago, Little Wu Yuexue's clenched her fists tightly as she said, "There were faint lashes on her body as if she had been beaten before."

"I didn't know about that…" Little Han Ye murmured as he scratched the back of his head.
