"W-Why did she teach you that?" asked Old Mrs. Xiong.

"Our boss is completely different now. She's so excellent at fighting and easily beat eight girls by herself. That included An Chenmeng. She's also good at studying and has correctly answered our teachers' questions. Oh, she helped us with reviewing too. Her explanation is a lot more interesting than our teachers'. Our head teacher even let her use the evening class to teach us. She told us that we need to be independent and learn to live without our parents' support," Xiong Manxin said.

Hearing that, everyone was astonished. Leng Xiaoyao beat eight girls by herself?

They had heard about An Chenmeng, because both Xiong Manxin and An Chenmeng were born in rich families, so it was unbelievable that Leng Xiaoyao beat eight girls by herself.

They hated fights among students, but they had to say that it was good that they could protect themselves from being bullied.

Moreover, Leng Xiaoyao helped them with reviewing!

All of this shocked them.

In fact, they had a bad impression of Leng Xiaoyao and even hated her, because they thought that she had a bad impact on Xiong Manxin, but now they changed their opinion about her.

"She has changed a lot!" Master Xiong said

"Right! She sounds totally different now,"

Old Mrs. Xiong agreed.

"No matter what, it's a good thing that she's better," Xiong Manxin's father said, then he asked her, "Are you paying more attention to your studies now?"

That was what he cared about the most.

"I promised our boss to focus on my studies," Xiong Manxin said.

Xiong Manxin mentioned Leng Xiaoyao every time she opened her mouth, which displeased her grandparents and parents. She didn't listen to them, but was willing to listen to an outsider.

Anyway, she was bettering herself now, so they could accept it.

After all, all they wanted was for Xiong Manxin to behave and focus on her studies.

When Gao Lele and Gao Ziyin went back home, they did the same thing, but the other girls hadn't done that yet.

After hearing their explanation, their families changed their opinion about Leng Xiaoyao as well.

However, it was just the beginning, so they only changed their opinions about Leng Xiaoyao slightly. After all, those girls hadn't made a big change yet.

Back at home.

Leng Xiaoyao chatted with Leng Changyuan for half an hour, before she returned to her room.

It was nearly 10 pm now, so Leng Changyuan needed to sleep.

Right after Leng Xiaoyao got to her room, she received a call from a strange number.

Even though it was a strange number, Leng Xiaoyao still answered it.

"This is Han Yu," Han Yu said on the phone.

"Uncle Han, it's late now. Did something go wrong?" Leng Xiaoyao asked.

Although she asked, she guessed that Han Yu must have carefully thought about her words and decided to accept her advice, otherwise he wouldn't call her. After all, there was no connection between them.

Upon hearing Leng Xiaoyao call him uncle, Han Yu was displeased.

"Call me Mr. Han." Han Yu corrected.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot it. Mr. Han, why did you call me so late at night? Have you made your decision?" Leng Xiaoyao asked. She didn't actually forget, she did it on purpose.

"Yeah, I'm having a relapse of the injury right now. It's really uncomfortable," Han Yu said.

Many years ago, Han Yu was shot. Because the bullet was stuck in a very dangerous part of his body, he didn't remove it. As a result, the injury hurt him every once in a while.

In the past few years, he could tolerate the pain, but it was becoming more and more uncomfortable.

Although he still didn't fully trust Leng Xiaoyao, this concerned his life, so he wanted to try it. His life was safe, but he wasn't sure how long he could live like this.

In addition, he had learned about what Leng Xiaoyao had done recently.

She wasn't only good at gambling and fighting, but was also excellent at studying. It even made him think she might not be the same girl he knew before, but she was indeed Leng Xiaoyao.

Therefore, Han Yu thought perhaps Leng Xiaoyao hid her talents until she ended her engagement with Chu Jianan.

Why she did that… Han Yu didn't know. Only Leng Xiaoyao knew.

"Do you need me to treat you right now?" Leng Xiaoyao asked.

"You can come over and have a look first. I'm in the casino, the same private room," Han Yu said. Leng Xiaoyao mentioned that he had a hidden illness that day, but didn't mention any details, so he wasn't sure whether she knew how he was injured. He decided to trust her after she treated him.

"Great. Please wait for a while. I'll be right there." Leng Xiaoyao agreed. Although it was late, it was the same as the day in her eyes.

"I'll arrange for someone to pick you up," Han Yu said. After all, he needed her help, and he wouldn't take it for granted.

"No need, I'll take a taxi," Leng Xiaoyao said.

"Great." Since she said that, Han Yu didn't insist. "My secretary will wait for you at the door. You've met him."

Without connections, outsiders couldn't go to the VIP private rooms, so Han Yu needed to send someone to meet her.

"Sure," Leng Xiaoyao said. She knew Han Yu's secretary.

After hanging up, Leng Xiaoyao changed into casual clothes with a baseball cap and a mask. Then she directly jumped out of the window and no one saw her.

Before long, Leng Xiaoyao arrived at the casino by a taxi.

After entering the casino, she directly went to meet Han Yu's secretary, who guided her inside.

Han Yu's secretary was his henchman, so he was aware of Han Yu's hidden injury and the reason why Leng Xiaoyao came over. In fact, Han Yu ordered him to conduct an investigation about Leng Xiaoyao so he was also surprised by Leng Xiaoyao's change.

However, he doubted whether Leng Xiaoyao could really heal Han Yu.

If Han Yu wanted to try it, he wouldn't stop him. He only hoped that Leng Xiaoyao could really heal Han Yu. Even if she couldn't, he hoped that Han Yu's condition wouldn't worsen.

Han Yu's secretary took Leng Xiaoyao to the previous private room she had been in. After Han Yu's secretary knocked on the door, Han Yu answered from inside and told them to come in.
