She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 989 - 853: Super Star 27 (First Update)_2

After finding the right position, she knelt before the elderly person, crossed her hands, measured the position, and began to press down forcefully.

Perhaps because of her actions, she drew the attention of those around her, and people started gathering around in threes and fours. When they noticed Hua Yan was running out of strength, an uncle nearby shouted, "Come on, girl, I know how to do it, move over and let me press."

Hua Yan indeed couldn’t press anymore, and since the uncle was willing, she had no reason to delay him from doing a good deed, so she moved aside. The uncle was a bit nervous at first, but under her guidance, he finally steadied himself, and the two of them took turns pressing for about thirty minutes until the ambulance finally arrived.

The emergency personnel immediately carried out rescue procedures. Upon discovering their emergency response strategy, they gave a thumbs up.

"Thanks to your timely handling, well done!"

Despite these words, no one planned to follow her to the hospital. Seeing this, the medical staff didn’t insist either, since the police had arrived. One police officer went with them in the ambulance, while the rest needed to retrieve surveillance footage to find out more. Hua Yan’s rescue effort was also testified by witnesses. Thinking back to her initial suspicions, she felt a bit embarrassed.

She thought the matter would just pass like this, but unexpectedly, someone filmed videos and took photos, uploading them online, which were soon re-transmitted and reported by the media.

The reason it had such a large reaction was actually the aftermath of a certain case in Nanjing. Since that incident, helping someone in trouble had become a social issue.

Before helping, is there any evidence or witnesses?

After helping, can you afford the high compensation?

It’s not about the lack of social morals among ordinary people, but about the scrutiny under the question ’Why help if you weren’t the one who hit them?’

Of course, we can’t say all elderly people are out to blackmail others, but it’s just a few bad apples that spoil the whole bunch.

Such social issues have now made more and more parents uncertain about how to educate their children.

Even Hua Yan, who is socially experienced, initially reacted by avoiding the issue, didn’t she?

After all, if you get entangled with the victim’s family, it could be a never-ending subsequent event. She hated trouble, so she chose to avoid it.

But the fact is, avoidance is not a fundamental solution.

Because that day she was representing the school in a competition, she wore Beijing Fourth Middle School’s uniform. After her photos were uploaded online, someone immediately recognized her identity. However, Hua Yan chose to turn off her phone to deal with the matter. In her view, just from that initial fleeting thought, she did not deserve such honor.

So after turning off her phone, she entered her space to continue her cultivation in seclusion, completely ignoring how the ongoing online buzz brought her traffic.

Even Ning Hao, far away in his hometown in the Northeast, was thrilled and told the villagers.

"That’s my sister, that’s my sister! How is my sister so outstanding?"

The Hua Family and Yan Family saw the report, and the neighbors all recognized that she was their family member. It’s a pity that after Yan Yue’s death and Hua Guoqiang going to jail, the mistress entered the household and gave birth to a child, Hua Yan had become a taboo in the hearts of both families.

But this doesn’t mean all rumors can be squashed. In front of both families, maybe the neighbors wouldn’t say much, but behind their backs, people would still gossip.

"Old Yan Family did things in bad faith. Their own daughter was run over by the son-in-law, and they signed that damn letter of understanding! If it weren’t for that letter, wouldn’t it be more than six years?"

"Do you even need to ask? Would they get money if they didn’t sign? Look at them, living in fancy houses, driving luxury cars. How could they live so comfortably if not for the money exchanged for their own daughter’s life? Who knows, they might even think they didn’t get enough money. I heard, back then, the sister-in-law wanted to adopt that daughter, but they refused her, she found Yan Yue’s classmate as her guardian on her own, and hasn’t been back since. She must be holding a grudge against the Yan Family!"

"Yan Yue’s daughter seems to have been raised well. Look, she’s at Beijing Fourth Middle School, which is a key school. The report also said it happened on her way back from a math competition. So many people just watched and didn’t help, but this kid stepped in—clearly kind-hearted and a good student. Such an outstanding child, and the Old Yan Family and their in-laws didn’t want her? I really don’t understand what they were thinking!"

"You’re wrong. It’s not that they didn’t want her, it’s that the girl didn’t give them the chance to take care of her. She found her own guardian and began living independently. Didn’t you hear her teacher? She gets herself to and from school, and cooks for herself. She’s been living like this since her mother died. So, she’s truly excellent, and those two families, ha, they really let go of a sesame seed to pick up a watermelon. Greedy for money, they’ll suffer the consequences sooner or later!"

With the Yan Family being criticized like this, there’s no need to talk about the Hua Family. Ever since the incident with Yan Yue, the mistress hadn’t shown up at the Hua Family’s door, not even daring to live in the Hua Family villa, fearing Yan Yue’s ghost would find her. Instead, she sold that villa and bought a new house.

Over the past few years, the interactions with the Hua Family have been minimal, basically leading separate lives, and she didn’t let her child have any ties with the Hua Family. In these years, the number of times the elder Hua Family saw their grandson can be counted on one hand.

Now Hua Yan appeared in media and on television; such a glorious event! But when facing the neighbors’ praises, that smile at the corner of their mouths just couldn’t rise. Happy?

No, they were not happy. Not only were they unhappy, but Hua Yan changing her name and surname caused them to lose face completely in front of old neighbors and old friends. Adding to that being turned away several times when they visited, how could the Hua Family be happy? They were so angry they wanted to hate Hua Yan.
