Chapter 180 Rumors and Gossip

y home phone number."Zhang Xuetao happily told Yunsi the number of Cloud and Rain.Yun Si Yu repeated it, making sure there were no mistakes, then put on her coat and opened the door to the kitchen.Bec...Li Wenliang finally left, and Lian Yi also smiled and thanked Teacher Pan.

"I heard from my classmates that you accidentally revealed that Officer Li has a mistress, which made the female students more cautious."

This person is really too uncouth. He actually followed a female student into the restroom. I can't imagine he would be Teacher Pan's classmate.

"Well, we were classmates in private school for a few years. After that, I moved to Pingbei and then went abroad to study, so we lost touch. It's quite a coincidence to meet again this time. I didn't expect him... Oh! If I had known, I wouldn't have invited him over!"

Mr. Pan explained somewhat awkwardly.

As a fellow teacher, I'd like to add a few words. From the look in his eyes, I sensed something was off about him. You haven't seen each other in a long time, perhaps he's not the person you remember anymore. Teacher Pan should be cautious, so as not to get implicated later.

As you know, Lao Wu has always disliked our teachers having ties with those factions...

The rest of the words weren't spoken, but the meaning was already expressed very clearly.

Pan Wenbin lowered his head and nodded, looking like he had learned something, then hurried away as if escaping.

The moment he turned, his face fell, becoming even contorted and grotesque. The ripples in the reflection of the windowpane made his expression perfectly clear.

She just smirked and went back to serve other guests.

After the anniversary celebration ended successfully, rumors about Teacher Pan Wenbin began circulating behind closed doors.

There are rumors circulating that Pan Wenbin, taking advantage of his teacher status, is acting as a pimp for his military officer classmates.

Introduce the school teacher to the other party, but the teacher ignored the officer. This officer actually followed his student to the women's restroom and was caught by another teacher.

For a time, Pan Wenbin's reputation plummeted, especially among female students who avoided him. Male classmates were even more direct, engaging in various acts of bullying like kicking him during soccer games, throwing rocks at him... making it impossible for Pan Wenbin to attend classes normally.

Students at Yimin University are not to be underestimated; many come from influential families. They have jointly demanded that Teacher Pan resign.

Pan Wenbin didn't expect that he would end up hurting himself by moving the stone. He failed to contain Li Wenliang and instead brought trouble upon himself. He could only explain to the school authorities that he had never done such a thing.

The school also arranged for someone to conduct an investigation, and Ripples was among those being questioned.

"On the day of the school anniversary, Teacher Pan did introduce me to Officer Li Wenliang. We just gave each other a brief greeting."

Ripples spoke to Pan Wenbin.

Pan Wenbin could only nod in acknowledgment, after all, many people saw the three of them getting into a fight at the time.

After that, Officer Li Wenliang asked me to dance the first dance, but I refused. He seemed a little unhappy at the time and said that I wasn't giving him face…

As Lian Yi spoke, she glanced at Pan Wenbin, whose lips twitched slightly.

"For the sake of Teacher Pan, I didn't want to make a big deal out of this, so I agreed to dance with him for the second song…"

"It's just that later I was called away by a female classmate to handle something, so I didn't get to dance. As for what happened with Officer Li going into the women's restroom, I heard it from Teacher Zhao."

After Ripple finished speaking, she paused for a moment, then continued:

I personally believe in Mr. Pan's character. He told me that Officer Li is also someone he recently met, although they were classmates before, they haven't seen each other for a long time, so what Officer Li did should be unrelated to Mr. Pan.

The teacher who was asking questions frowned when they heard this.

Pan Wenbin's face was twisted, unable to express his anger because Lian Ri was telling the truth, and she explained for him everywhere, fully believing in his character.

But anyone with a brain could hear that Pan Wenbin's invitation to Li Wenliang, his longtime friend, to the alumni day was extremely rash and inappropriate, especially considering it involved female students. This naturally leads one to think more deeply about it.

After that, Teacher Zhao was also called in for questioning. In the end, Pan Wen-bin resigned voluntarily.

Ripple's lips curved into a smile upon hearing the result.

Three days later, Pan Wenbin coincidentally ran into Lianyi at the wonton stand across from Yimin University.

"Teacher Wu!"

"Pan Wenbin, are you here to eat wontons too"

The ripples asked, as if nothing had happened, but a simple address revealed much.

"I'm here to find Teacher Wu."

"Are you looking for me Is there something"

"I'm preparing to leave Pingbei, and before I go, I mainly want to treat Mr. Wu to a meal. Thank you for speaking up for me."

"No, it's my fault. I believe Teacher Pan is a good person and he always speaks the truth. This time, you were mainly implicated by that Officer Li."

Ripple declined the other party's invitation and only expressed pity for them.

"I was also wrong about this. It's been a long time since I saw him, and I thought he was still the same as before. I invited him over just to show off my school, but I didn't expect him to do this!"

"It's not your fault!"

“Because of him, I can't stay in Pingbei anymore, so I want to go back to Lingnan first. There are so many teachers at the school, and only Teacher Wu is willing to believe me and speak up for me. That's why I wanted to invite you out for a meal before I leave to express my gratitude. I hope you won't refuse.”

Pan Wenbin spoke with heartfelt sincerity.

"This..."

Ripples pretended to hesitate for a moment before reluctantly agreeing.

"Since you're thanking me, I get to choose the location. Do you find it convenient"

Pan Wenbin nodded, then said with a hint of apology:

I invited you out because I naturally hope you'll enjoy the meal, but to be honest, my wallet isn't very deep right now. High-end places might be a bit of a burden for me.

"Of course. There's a social dance this weekend at Carmen's Ballroom, and I happen to have two tickets. Drinks are free inside. Would you do me the favor of treating me to steak"

"I'm a little embarrassed already, and now you have to spend money."

"My friend gave me the ticket, so I fulfilled my promise to you."

Ripple smiled and said.

“Okay, I’ll listen to Teacher Wu then.”

After settling the matter, Pan Wenbin hurried away.

Ripple looked at the other person's back and narrowed her eyes.

Pan Wenbin turned a corner on the street and went to see Li Wenliang.

"Wenliang, don't say I won't help you. I've already made an appointment for you. Whether you can catch up to her depends on your own ability."

"Don't worry, as long as she agrees to meet up, I have a way to tame her."

Li Wenliang licked his lips and said.

"Then you promised me..."

"Sure, I can help you with that."

Weekends Carmen Ballroom

Ripples had dressed up specially this time, sporting a look completely different from her usual attire. She entered the ballroom early and hid in another private room on the second floor, watching the entrance below.

Li Wenliang arrived first, accompanied by a guard. He surveyed his surroundings and then, with a pleased expression, strode straight to the second-floor private room.

Ripple waited for a while, but Pan Wenbin didn't appear. She was now 100% certain that this was a trap set by the other party.ng the door, however, he cast a deliberate glance in the direction of the bed.With the help of two maids, she managed to get dressed in layers inside and out with the crimson robe. Then, holding her s...
