Chapter 2242 - 2443: Feeling Relieved

The two faces were filled with disdain and contempt, but even more with anger. After all, how could they not be angry when a brat stepped on his expensive shoes?

Li Weiwei, standing behind them, also showed a bit of anger. After all, they were the ones who made such a commotion last night, causing everyone to have a sleepless night. And the two of them were so ill-mannered, behaving like being rich was everything. Hao Jian already apologized, yet they remained unforgiving.

Of course, if she knew Hao Jian stepped on them on purpose, she might not think this way.

Hao Jian, instead of getting angry, laughed, with a cheerful expression on his face, further angering the man and woman. However, before the man could make a comment, Hao Jian spoke first: "Brother, I see that your brow is red, and you seem a bit weary. Did you overexert yourself last night?"

The man frowned upon hearing this and retorted, "So what if I did? It's none of your damn business!"

They might not realize that the commotion they caused last night disturbed others and was overheard by them. So when Hao Jian pointed this out, it instantly inflamed them. He glared angrily at Hao Jian, and the woman clung to his arm.

Hao Jian just smiled, didn't say more, walked over, patted his shoulder, and then said, "Be careful, big brother, don't overindulge. What's that saying again, 'When young, unaware of xxx's value, in old age, regrets xxxx…'"

While saying this, Hao Jian pulled Li Weiwei away, leaving the man and woman dumbfounded.

The two laughed as they walked, leaving the inn. Suddenly, Li Weiwei grabbed Hao Jian and asked, "How did you know he was overindulging?"

Hao Jian smiled and said, "Wasn't last night overindulgence?"

Li Weiwei seemed to understand, yet not quite, and then said, "Oh, that last remark was really sleazy, don't say it next time."

Hao Jian nodded, didn't continue to say much to her. It seemed Li Weiwei was quite mature, but on matters of men and women, she was clueless.

Soon, the two arrived at a restaurant, had breakfast.

Since it was Sunday, with Monday being a school day, they had to return this afternoon, so they only had the morning to play. By noon, they needed to return to the inn to pack up and leave. Yesterday, they each explored the Ancient Town, so this morning it was a group activity.

Danlin specially hired a local guide to take everyone around the Ancient Town, introducing the local customs, giving a deeper understanding of it. Hao Jian had already toured the town with Liang Xiaohan yesterday, and having barely slept last night, he was too exhausted to join in, so he didn't go.

Everyone else went, while Hao Jian returned to the inn alone to rest. Around one o'clock, Liang Xiaohan called to wake him up, asking where he was. He said he was napping in the room, then Liang Xiaohan called him out for lunch. After eating, everyone returned to the inn, it was already after two, packed up, ready to leave the Ancient Town, heading back to Yun City.

In the inn lobby, Hao Jian gathered everyone: "Alright, everyone, go to your rooms, pack your things, and take a break. At two-thirty, we'll meet downstairs, and head back together!"

"Okay, Brother Hao."

A group of people then went upstairs to pack. Hao Jian didn't have much to pack, so he went upstairs, slung his backpack, and waited downstairs for them. The Innkeeper saw they were leaving, felt a pang in his heart, his eyes still not friendly towards Hao Jian, but Hao Jian had already ignored him.

Around twenty past two, Liang Xiaohan called him upstairs to get the luggage. He shook his head in resignation, went upstairs, complained to Liang Xiaohan while carrying the things, saying, "You're here just for a day or two, why bring so much stuff? Isn't it tiring?" Liang Xiaohan heartlessly replied, "It's you carrying it, not me. Why would it tire me?"

He was speechless, could only carry the things downstairs. Once everyone packed, he led them out.

The Innkeeper and his wife watched them leave, their hearts aching, remembering last night, upset to see the broken items still on the ground. In the future, when bullying guests, they'd knows to be cautious, not daring to pick on just anyone.

The group exited the Ancient Town, the bus driver had been waiting for them. They loaded the things, got on, and swiftly drove away from the town.

Thus, the brief weekend tour of the Ancient Town came to an end, with everyone in the class wearing joyful expressions. To them, it was a fun, fleeting weekend. Usually, weekends were filled with various classes or homework, but now they enjoyed an outing, playing happily with classmates, feeling excited.

The whole trip was filled with laughter, no one seemed tired, moving from Ancient Town to Yun City, from the moment the vehicle started until it halted.

Hao Jian was alright, while Li Weiwei had a poor night's sleep and played all morning, so she was sleeping on the bus.

The destination was still the school; after disembarking, the bus drove off. Li Weiwei greeted a few people, then everyone dispersed, went home to their parents.

To cover up the fact that he and Liang Xiaohan lived together, Hao Jian used the excuse that Liang Xiaohan had too many things, so he escorted her home, and thus sent Hu Lai and the others away. Then he hailed a cab and went home. First, he took a cold shower to clear his mind, feel refreshed, and immediately lay on the sofa.

Liang Xiaohan packed her things, once everything was set, she took a shower too, then joined Hao Jian on the sofa.

At this moment, Hao Jian seemed troubled, not knowing whether to speak or keep silent. He initially planned to talk after returning from the Ancient Town, yet at the moment of truth, he hesitated. Pausing, Liang Xiaohan suddenly kicked him.

"Why do you look so dazed? What are you thinking?" Liang Xiaohan asked Hao Jian.

After a brief pause, Hao Jian still didn't know how to speak. Initially thought leaving wouldn't matter, but now used to being here, leaving suddenly felt off.

He responded, "Oh, nothing."

Then he got up, told Liang Xiaohan, "Rest early, there's class tomorrow."

Ultimately, he didn't say it out loud. He planned to speak after settling things with others, and tell Liang Xiaohan last, then leave.

Later, he went to his room, Liang Xiaohan thought he was going to sleep, and stayed playing on her phone, until exhausted, realized it was past eight, and then went to bed. But soon after, Hao Jian went out of his room, opened the door, and left.

"See you at the old place." Hao Jian said, hanging up the phone.

Soon, he got off the car, entered a restaurant, where Baldy, Lin Dongyang, and others had been waiting for some time. As he entered, the group stood up.

"Brother Hao!" The group said respectfully.

Hao Jian motioned for them to sit, and they sat down. The waiter saw everyone had arrived, started serving dishes and drinks, Lin Dongyang stood, poured wine for Hao Jian and Baldy. Hao Jian took a sip, feeling less reserved than with Liang Xiaohan, straightforwardly sharing.

He took a sip and directly said, "Well, I'll be leaving in a few days. Don't know if I will return, Liang Xiaohan will rely on your care. If anything happens, if she's bullied, you step in and teach them a lesson."

This statement shocked the group, who hadn't expected Hao Jian to say this, wondering why he was leaving.

Lin Dongyang was the first to ask puzzled, "Boss, leave? Where are you going?"

Hao Jian straightforwardly answered, "To another city, my stay here was temporary, now it's time to leave."

The group was stunned, momentarily unable to accept the reality. Hao Jian brought them success, if he left, encountering problems without him, how would they resolve them? Confusion lingered.

Only Baldy understood. Being one with a Black Card, Hao Jian's power was immense behind the scenes. Yun City, being small, couldn't contain him. Here was merely a stopover, or a brief visit. Leaving was natural.

Hence, Baldy reassured Hao Jian, smiling, "Brother Hao, you can leave assured, we got this. Miss Liang won't face danger, if anything happens to her, I'll personally come see you."

Baldy's promise relieved Hao Jian. The group nodded, affirming Baldy's words.

Hao Jian smiled, saying, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Rest assured Brother Hao, we'll handle everything." The group replied.

With Lin Dongyang's influence at school, and Baldy outside, peace of mind settled.
