It was evident that they had been rejected.
Therefore, all they could do was hope that Teacher Zhang would return later, allowing Nan Yan to substitute for a few more classes!
As for Yin Yichen, who had left before Nan Yan’s class, they pitied his missed opportunity. They felt he had missed out on a great chance.
But they didn’t intend to seek him out and tell him what he had missed. After all, Nan Yan clearly didn’t like him. If Yin Yichen came and annoyed Nan Yan, there was a risk she might not teach them properly. They would be the ones left to deal with the consequences.
The next class was upcoming.
Just as Nan Yan was preparing to begin her lecture, the headmaster came to find her.
“Nan Yan, your grandfather is here, in the office. Do you want to go meet him?”
The headmaster wasn’t aware of the relationship between Nan Yan and Old Master An. He was afraid that Old Master An might hold some grudge against Nan Yan, similar to how An’s parents did. Thus, he didn’t dare let Old Master An directly approach Nan Yan.
He came over to ask Nan Yan’s opinion.
If she didn’t want to meet him, he planned to delay Old Master An and escort him out after school hours.
“Why is he here…” Nan Yan’s eyebrows furrowed, and she stood up directly.
The headmaster misunderstood, thinking that she wanted to avoid Old Master An. He hastily reassured her, “Nan Yan, don’t worry. He doesn’t know you’re here, so he won’t come looking for you.”
Nan Yan cast a disdainful glance at him and said in a leisurely manner, “Since Grandpa’s here, of course, I’ll go meet him.” Headmaster:
This attitude was completely unexpected.
As she was about to leave the classroom, she remembered Feng Tianji and the others and instructed them, “The three of you can continue with your self-study and review the content from my last class.”
The three of them responded with, “Sure…”
Old Master An was getting a bit anxious while waiting in the office.
He had no idea how Nan Yan, a young girl, could withstand such criticism and disdain from so many people. He blamed himself for allowing her to be bullied online.
Elder Tian, who was by his side, observed Old Master An’s troubled expression and quickly advised, “Master, please calm down. Miss Nan Yan will be fine.”
Old Master An had an old ailment, and his health had been poor for quite some time. He spent half of each year in the hospital and the other half convalescing at home. This was why he knew about Nan Yan’s difficult situation at the An family but didn’t interfere. He also worried that he might not be able to hold on much longer and protect her for much time. He was also concerned that the extremely biased parents might treat her even worse if they saw he favored Nan Yan.
However, if he had known about today, he definitely wouldn’t have allowed Nan Yan to stay with them!
Even if she wasn’t accepted by that pair of parents, he would still create a clean world for her…
Old Master An struggled to suppress his self-reproach, gave a bitter smile, and asked, “It’s been quite a while. Why hasn’t she come yet?”
“It takes time for her to walk from here to Miss Nan Yan’s classroom and bring her over, Master.”
“Sigh…”
Just as he let out a sigh, the door was pushed open from outside.
He quickly looked up and saw a delicate figure entering.
“Nan Yan?”
Old Master An gazed at the young girl before him, radiating brightness and charm like a little fairy. He hesitantly called out her name.
Nan Yan naturally took Old Master An’s hand, raised an eyebrow, and asked, “Grandpa, didn’t the doctor tell you to rest? Why aren’t you listening?”
Old Master An was taken aback by her words.
The girl before him was completely different from the past. Not only had she become more beautiful, but the gloomy and submissive aura around her had disappeared.
She had grown confident!
Moreover, she was willing to get close to him, holding his hand and questioning him about not following doctor’s orders…
“Nan Yan…” Old Master An’s eyes became slightly misty. “It’s Grandpa’s fault that you’ve suffered.”
His aged hand enveloped hers in his palm, while his other hand lightly patted the back of her hand. “Don’t be afraid. Grandpa is here. No one will dare to bully you anymore!”
Nan Yan felt a sudden pang of emotion in her chest.
This was an emotion from the memories of the original host…
“I’m fine.” Nan Yan curved her lips into a gentle smile. She half-crouched in front of Old Master An, bringing her gaze to his level, and said in a soft but determined voice, “From now on, I won’t let anyone bully me. I’ll fight back fiercely against anyone who bullies me.”
“That’s right!” Old Master An nodded vigorously. “My granddaughter, An Kangpeng’s granddaughter, should be like this!”
“Nan Yan, from now on, you’ll live with me at my mansion. Let’s see who dares to bully you!”
Nan Yan replied, “Okay.”
She lowered her gaze and naturally placed her right hand on Old Master An’s wrist, beginning to examine his pulse.
She had learned about Old Master An’s health condition from the original host’s memories and intended to help him with his recuperation.
Living together with him would indeed make things more convenient.
The headmaster, who had followed them in, witnessed this scene and finally understood why Nan Yan had walked so quickly earlier.
It turned out that the An family still had someone who doted on Nan Yan!
The headmaster felt relieved for Nan Yan.
Old Master An looked at his well-behaved granddaughter and felt a stronger sense of guilt. “Nan Yan, don’t worry about the online matters. Grandpa will find someone to handle it for you. I won’t let those people continue to bully you!”
Nan Yan confirmed his condition and that his life wasn’t in danger, so her tone became more relaxed. “You don’t need to, Grandpa. Take care of yourself. I’ll handle this matter on my own.”
Many people had said similar things to her.
Nan Yan knew they all cared about her and had the ability to help her.
However, she didn’t want others to intervene.
“Nan Yan, are you distancing yourself from Grandpa?” Old Master An felt somewhat disheartened.
“It’s not that, Grandpa.” Nan Yan smiled softly. “I just don’t want these insignificant matters to trouble you. Your health is the real concern.”
“This isn’t an insignificant matter! Have you not seen the pressure you’re under online?” Old Master An mentioned the things he had seen online, causing a painful ache in his chest.
Nan Yan gently furrowed her eyebrows and helped massage his chest, her tone becoming more serious. “To me, this is a small matter. Your health, Grandpa, is what truly matters.”
“Don’t be stubborn. You should listen to the doctor’s advice, avoid stress, and Elder Tian, keep an eye on Grandpa. Don’t let him look at those messy things online. ”
“Alright, Miss Nan Yan!”
Elder Tian watched Old Master An’s embarrassed expression and stifled a laugh.
The powerful Old Master An had finally met someone who could manage him!
The headmaster chimed in, “Mr. An, you can rest assured. Miss Nan Yan can indeed handle her own affairs. You don’t need to worry. Your granddaughter is quite impressive!”
Originally intended as a consoling remark, it unexpectedly irritated Old Master An. “How is my Yan Yan impressive? If she were impressive, could she have been bullied like this?”
The headmaster:
If she’s not impressive even after all this, then what exactly qualifies as impressive?
