Chapter 77 (2/2)

Now, I was the one holding onto Xiaoai's hand, ”Thank you for believing in him. If Teacher Lu could hear your words, I'm sure he would be very touched.”

”But not all students think this way…. Xuduo…. He…..” Xiaoai lowered her head as disappointment flashed through her eyes.

”Xuduo, he…..”

Xiaoai gave me an account of what happened to Xuduo:

”After the news came out about Teacher Lu, many work unit said that students of Teacher Lu were indecent people. So, his co-workers began to push Xuduo aside and exclude him. There was a period of time when he went through depression because of this. He actually went to see a psychiatrist for help. But ever since he donated his bone marrow to help the sick child, his co-workers have treated him a lot better. They're no longer against him and treats him as a good person who saved a life.”

”Don't tell me that Xuduo's real reason for saving the child was to alter the biases people had of him due to Teacher Lu?” I testingly asked.

Xiaoai didn't respond.

My guess was correct.

”If that's the case, then he must really hate Teacher Lu? No wonder….” I had no idea that the problem would be so severe on Xuduo's side. I touched the rim of my coffee cup and finally made up my mind.

Even if I could not convince Xuduo to help us, I want to at least get rid of the misunderstanding he had of Lu Wenxue. If I leave it without doing anything, both Xuduo and Lu Wenxue will suffer.

”Xiaoai, actually, earlier I saw Xuduo. But due to the misunderstanding he had about Teacher Lu, he probably won't open the door for me again. But no matter what, I want to see him once more. There's something I have to say to him. Could you help me?”

”I….. I can try, but I can't guarantee….” Xiaoai agreed to my request, but wasn't sure if it will be successful.

”Don't worry. You don't have to force it. Just try your best.”

So, for now, I'm temporarily letting Xiaoai deal with Xuduo.

Now, I have Mo Xiaotian and Ye Lili left. They were both high profile people that were difficult to meet.

The chances of encountering Mo Xiaotian was so low. Sources say that ever since she had gotten married, she was a full time wife of a rich and powerful family. She rarely left the house.

As for Ye Lili, she was always rus.h.i.+ng around with rich people's problems. There wasn't any trace of her.

While I was sulking, Suyang called.

”What do you want?” I said out of despair.

”Where are you?”

”I'm underneath Xuduo's building. I had a face to face interaction with him earlier.”

”Were you able to convince him?”

I hesitated. Should I tell Suyang what happened? But if I do, would I seem very useless?

”No, it didn't go as smoothly as I thought it would. He is very resistant. I'm trying to think of a solution right now…. Oh yeah, in terms of Mo Xiaotian and Ye Lili, I have no idea how to get to their circles. It is very difficult….”

”Don't worry about those two. I have figured it out. Just put your focus on Xuduo.”

”You've figured it out? What do you mean?” My eyes instantly lit up; as if I had discovered a new glimmer of hope.

”There is a charity event party tonight. They will both be attending. I also happened to receive an invitation. So don't worry, I will take the responsibility to convince the both of them.”

Suyang was about to hang up the phone, but I yelled to stop him, ”Ai ai ai!!! Wait!”

”What?”

”So you're going to go to the charity event party alone? You don't need a female partner?” I asked. I hope Suyang could understand what I was trying to say.

My internal heart was screaming. Bring me! Bring me too! I want to go too!!!!

”No need. I'll be attending with Mi Fan.” Suyang flatly replied.
