Chapter 1593: Chapter 922:

"If I keep quiet any longer, they’ll think I’m not being sincere. You know, if I were genuine, how could I just swallow my anger in this situation?"

"No matter how you put it, I still don’t know..." Luo Ye coughed lightly, issuing a subtle indication for them to leave, "Alright, everything’s clear now. But as the person involved, Li Xiaoyan might not be able to process everything at once and needs some time to think. Wen Jie, Liang family brothers, I won’t keep you any longer."

"Chairman Luo, I’m sorry about what happened earlier." Liang Linqing said, deeply bowing to Luo Ye, "Please be magnanimous."

Evidently, he’s worried that the Liangyou Association would target his small inn. However, his display came off as inferior. Luo Ye, with a nonchalant expression, waved his hand, "Don’t worry, I wouldn’t do that."

"Thank you!" Liang Linqing took one last deep look at Li Xiaoyan and turned to leave, and upon seeing this, Liang Linseng quickly bid farewell and dragged Wen Jie out.

"Xiaoyan, I’m sorry!"

Wen Jie’s voice echoed from afar.

Li Xiaoyan seemed as if she didn’t hear anything, standing there dazedly, as though everything happening had nothing to do with her.

"I haven’t even had a chance to speak up." Qu Yue muttered softly and glanced at Luo Ye, "Didn’t you say you didn’t know? Why did you issue the order for everyone to leave?"

"What else could I do?" Luo Ye subtly gestured with his chin towards Li Xiaoyan’s position, "Judging by her current demeanor, she seems to hold some concern over the matter with the Liang family.

But whether this concern stems from emotion or something else, I don’t know. Keeping the Liang family here any longer would be inappropriate.

This way, regardless of whether she likes or doesn’t like someone like Liang Linqing, there’s still room for maneuver. Understand now?" He finished with a smile directed towards Wang Qiayu, who sat there awkwardly, "Teacher Wang, please eat, and Xiao Ning, make sure your classmates eat."

Wang Qiayu chuckled and looked at Li Xiaoning and the others, "Go ahead and eat, the food is served. Let’s not waste it."

"Yes, Teacher."

The three responded softly, bowing their heads in silence as they ate.

To them, everything that happened was like watching a movie. Even though Li Xiaoning was directly involved, the adult world remained somewhat incomprehensible to them. So, they focused on their immediate task—eating.

"Xiaoyan, have a seat." Luo Ye said, pulling Li Xiaoyan along, whose eyes flickered as if regaining consciousness, squeezing out a slight smile, "Chairman Luo, sorry for the embarrassment."

"Why be polite with me, in such an incident, anyone would be at a loss..." Luo Ye shook his head helplessly, "Not even TV dramas are this dramatic."

"I didn’t expect it either, really..." Li Xiaoyan sighed deeply, her gaze sweeping across the faces of Wang Qiayu and the others, she gave a bitter smile, "I hope I didn’t scare anyone?"

"Not at all..." Wang Qiayu said, suddenly realizing Li Xiaoyan meant the two female students specifically, which made him feel a bit awkward. He subtly nudged Li Xiaoning, who was eating obliviously, seemingly confounded, "Teacher, what’s the matter?"

Wang Qiayu’s face turned even redder, "Nothing, nothing, keep eating. Oh right..." He turned his attention to the other two female students, "Today’s incident..."

"What incident?" Lin Yuanyuan looked puzzled, "Are you referring to Sister Xiaoyan treating us? We know. Without Sister Xiaoyan, we might go hungry tomorrow." She smiled sweetly at Li Xiaoyan, "Thank you, Sister Xiaoyan, this is the best meal I’ve ever had."

"Me too, me too." The other female student quickly chimed in.

"Kids these days are little clever ones." Qu Yue couldn’t help but mutter softly and then invited Wang Qiayu, "Teacher Wang, please eat. Xiaoyan organized this meal out of goodwill. If you don’t enjoy it, she won’t feel at ease."

"Exactly, Teacher Wang. If I knew things would turn out this way, I wouldn’t have insisted you come along. I understand, you must regret agreeing to join us, sorry!"

"No, not at all!" Wang Qiayu hastily waved his hand, "Sister Xiaoning, we should be grateful to you, really..."

"If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have stayed extra days." Li Xiaoyan smiled bitterly, "Teacher Wang, rest assured, I’ll cover any losses over these few days. I’ll reimburse the travel expenses for tomorrow and these meals."

"Xiaoyan, step outside for a second." Luo Ye said as she turned and walked towards the door.

"Let’s eat, don’t mind them." Qu Yue quickly motioned for Wang Qiayu, Li Xiaoning, and the other two female students.

"Chairman Luo, I’m truly sorry." Outside the doorway, Li Xiaoyan apologized again.

"What are you apologizing for? Only today did I realize you faced such issues back then." Luo Ye sighed lightly, "I called you out because I wanted to ask about your thoughts regarding Liang Linqing.

Don’t misunderstand, I’m not trying to intervene in your personal affairs, but I had an idea after hearing you mention covering Teacher Wang and their losses. However, I need to know where you stand before proceeding."
