At eleven in the morning, Ye Cangtian and Li Dazhuang arrived at Yangzhou University Town.
The reason for arriving a bit late was that he had taken Li Dazhuang to buy a set of clothes.
In his words, Li Dazhuang was going to see his sister at university, so he should dress presentably and not embarrass his sister.
So, although Li Dazhuang felt it was too expensive, he gritted his teeth and bought a set.
The clothes and shoes weren't expensive, costing just over two hundred for everything, but it still made Li Dazhuang exclaim how expensive things were in the city!
Additionally, Ye Cangtian picked out a knock-off phone for Li Dazhuang, costing a few hundred yuan, so that he could call and contact his sister anytime in the future.
Li Dazhuang stood excitedly within the university town, looking at the students passing by, and couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.
"Xiao Ya is so promising, she's the only university student from our village!"
He looked around and then said, "Brother, where is my sister Xiao Ya?"
Ye Cangtian recalled the information Xu Weiwei had given him about Li Ya, and then said, "Let's go to the girls' dormitory to ask first."
After all, this university was huge, and it would be difficult to find someone. Of course, if they went directly to the girls' dormitory building to ask, it would be much easier.
Li Dazhuang nodded, completely listening to Ye Cangtian.
After all, he didn't understand anything. If he tried to find someone in the university alone, he might not find his sister and get lost himself!
The two inquired all the way and soon arrived at the girls' dormitory building.
"Auntie, please tell me, is student Li Ya in this dormitory building?" Ye Cangtian asked the dorm supervisor at the entrance of a dormitory building.
The dorm supervisor was munching on melon seeds, sizing up Ye Cangtian and Li Dazhuang, and asked warily, "What are you two doing here? This is a girls' dormitory, don't you know?"
Ye Cangtian said, "We are here to see Li Ya, we are her relatives."
"No!" The dorm supervisor rolled her eyes, dropped a sentence, and turned her head back to continue watching television.
She wasn't stupid. What relatives? Why didn't you call them directly to come down?
She naturally knew Li Ya and was quite familiar with this quiet and simple girl. She hadn't seen any relatives of Li Ya visit the school in the past two years.
Could these two guys be bad people!
Ye Cangtian felt his head hurt when he saw the vigilant look on the dorm supervisor's face!
He had asked at several girls' dormitory buildings, and this was the last one. Clearly, this dorm supervisor didn't want to tell him.
He and Li Dazhuang had no choice but to turn and leave.
"You... are you looking for Li Ya?"
A girl hesitated and asked. She had just passed by when she heard Ye Cangtian asking the dorm supervisor.
Ye Cangtian glanced at the girl, finding her somewhat familiar. He asked, "Yes, do you know her?"
The girl also saw Ye Cangtian's face, and her eyes lit up. She couldn't help but gasp and cover her mouth, recognizing him.
A few days ago, when she and Xiao Ya were working part-time, they encountered hooligans on their way back from work, and it was this person who appeared and chased them away.
They had even developed a crush on him then, and they didn't expect to meet again.
Seeing the girl's flushed face, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but ask, "Miss, do you know Li Ya?"
"Ah!" The girl finally reacted, remembering what had happened not long ago, and quickly nodded.
"Xiao Ya is in the same dorm as me, but she... she's in trouble now!"
"What's going on?"
Ye Cangtian was startled, and Li Dazhuang next to him also showed anxiety.
The girl quickly explained what had happened that morning.
Ye Cangtian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Framed?"
"Yes, now Xiao Ya and the others have gone to the Dean's Office. They were caught red-handed, and Xiao Ya might get a demerit this time," the girl sighed.
Although Ye Cangtian had never met Li Dazhuang's sister, he could tell from Li Dazhuang's personality that she was probably not a person of poor character.
Moreover, since the girl said they were framed, it was highly likely that she had been framed.
"Where is the Dean's Office?"
...
In the Dean's Office, Li Ya felt wronged. She was clearly framed, but she couldn't explain herself.
The three girls, Zhang Yi, insisted that she had taken their necklace, and the necklace was indeed found under her bedsheet.
The Dean, after understanding the situation, looked at Li Ya and said, "Li Ya, do you have anything to say?"
"Director, I didn't take their things, and I don't know why the necklace appeared under my bedsheet!" Li Ya bit her lip and shook her head, her eyes welling up with tears.
"You're still arguing when you've been caught red-handed?"
The girl named Zhang Yi sneered and said, "Director, I know Li Ya's family is poor. It's no wonder people from the countryside like her have sticky fingers. I think we should send her to the police station!"
The Dean sighed and said, "There's no need to call the police, it will affect the school's reputation. Let's give her a major demerit!"
Li Ya looked up at the Dean, tears uncontrollably flowing down her cheeks. She shook her head, "Director, I really didn't take their things! I've never stolen anything."
"Tch, pretending to be pitiful? I despise country bumpkins like you the most, stealing things and then pretending to be pitiful!"
"That's right, I think we should let the whole school know that this bitch is a thief. She always pretends to be so pitiful, who is she pretending for?"
The two heavily made-up girls beside Zhang Yi also sneered disdainfully.
They had always disliked Li Ya because of her good academic performance and her quiet, pretty looks, which attracted many boys in the school.
Naturally, they harbored resentment and a desire for revenge.
However, at this moment!
Ye Cangtian and Li Dazhuang walked into the Dean's Office.
"Which department are you students from, and why are you here?" The Dean looked up and questioned.
"Xiao Ya!" Li Dazhuang rushed over.
"Brother!" Li Ya looked up, seeing the burly man, and was somewhat incredulous.
Why was her brother here?
When Ye Cangtian saw the girl, he was surprised, because wasn't this girl the one who was bullied at the restaurant last night?
So, she was Li Dazhuang's sister!
Seeing her tearful and pitiful appearance, which made people feel pity, Ye Cangtian faced the Dean's questioning, who was wearing glasses, and said, "We are Li Ya's relatives."
He looked at the three girls dressed so gaudily and said in a deep voice, "I heard someone framed Li Ya, saying she stole her roommate's things!"
"What framing, it's clearly being caught red-handed!" one of the heavily made-up girls said.
"Heh, what kind of people have what kind of relatives. It seems Li Ya's relatives are also a bunch of country bumpkins, and they're actually allowed to come in." The girl named Zhang Yi mocked.
Although Li Dazhuang had changed into new clothes, his rural demeanor couldn't be hidden, especially his honest and simple appearance, which clearly marked him as from the countryside.
"Say that again?" Ye Cangtian glanced at the girl.
"What? Are you angry because I called you country bumpkins?" Zhang Yi sneered.
However, at this moment, Ye Cangtian stepped forward and slapped her.
"Slap!"
Five finger marks instantly appeared on Zhang Yi's face. She was first a bit stunned, then screamed like a shrew, "How dare you hit me!"
