Dixon tried to analyze Carlos' motives behind this. "I believe Mr. Huo was trying to avenge you. He
must have seen you hit Jared and guessed that Jared had pissed you off. He asked the both of you to
answer two different questions. The first question was extremely hard while the second one was rather
simple. That way, he could find a reason to make Jared dance for you when he failed to answer where
you succeeded. He just wanted to make you happy. Wow, what a caring husband Mr. Huo is!"
Debbie, Kasie and Kristina nodded at Dixon's analysis. Till now, his was the only one that made any
sense.
Jared blew off the chalk on his hand and cast a burning glance at Debbie. "Did I kill your husband's
grandpa? Why did he treat me like this?" he snapped furiously. "He not only asked Mr. Lu to keep an
eye on me, but also asked me to dance for you and clean the blackboard! From now on, I am going to
keep you at arm's length. I can't afford to bear his jealousy."
Debbie rolled her eyes and snapped back, "Come on, dude. You are not my lover. Why would he be
jealous of you? Just dance for me, now!"
Jared banged the table, fuming with rage at the thought of dancing for Debbie. He shouted at the
classroom door as if Carlos were still standing there. "Carlos Huo! I am going to remember this thing
for the rest of my life. You know what they say? Revenge is a dish best served cold! You just wait and
watch!"
Debbie wasn't too pleased to hear him shout a threat to her husband. "Jared Han, I've recorded what
you just said. I think I'll send it to Carlos right now," she threatened.
The anger on Jared's face immediately disappeared. With a pitiful look, he pleaded, "Please don't do
that, Tomboy! I'll dance for you right here, right now."
"Do it!"
A few students, who wanted to see Jared dance, stayed in the classroom, pretending to be studying.
Jared, however, shooed all of them out.
He even wanted to drive Kasie, Kristina and Dixon out. However, Kasie held onto Debbie's left arm,
and Kristina held onto her right. Dixon, who also wanted to watch Jared dance, cradled his girlfriend's
neck. The three of them were determined to not leave the classroom.
Despite his unwillingness, Jared had no other choice but to start dancing.
To be honest, his street dance wasn't that bad and managed to impress everyone, except Debbie, who
remained emotionless and even yawned.
Seeing an exhausted Jared, Kasie had an idea. "Jared, why don't you do Yangko dance*? I think that's
going to be a lot funnier," she proposed with a giggle and even played a video of Yangko dance on her
phone to demonstrate it.
(*TN: The Yangko dance is a traditional Chinese folk dance. Yangko dancers are usually women
wearing bright and colorful costumes.)
Jared stopped dancing and covered his face with both hands, giving up all hope of ever escaping this
humiliation. "Tomboy, if you refuse to laugh this time, we aren't going to be friends anymore!" he
threatened Debbie.
Jared moved exactly like the women in the video were moving, and it was really funny to see a big boy
like him do the Yangko dance.
The other three burst into laughter this time, but Debbie still remained poker-faced—she was trying her
best to suppress her laughter.
Just as the music was about to come to an end, Debbie finally couldn't hold it back anymore and
cracked up laughing. "Hahaha! Jared, you dance like Logger Vick*! Hahaha..."
(*TN: Logger Vick is a character in animation "Boonie Bears".)
Just like Logger Vick, Jared was tall and thin. And he was wiggling his ass like crazy.
Jared heaved a sigh of relief when Debbie finally laughed. He turned off the music and sat beside her.
"Debbie, would you mind if you had to divorce Carlos Huo and marry another man?" he asked.
"Yes, I would!" Debbie blurted out without any hesitation. She was beginning to fall for Carlos
completely now, and had forgotten that she had wanted to divorce him in the beginning.
Within a minute, Debbie received a text message from Carlos. "Tell Jared Han, I've recorded him
dancing in the classroom. If he doesn't want this video to be released, then he'd better watch his
mouth."
Confused, Debbie raised her head and swept her eyes around the classroom. Only then did she see
the camera not far away from them. The camera was able to record both pictures and sound. So...had
Carlos really recorded Jared dancing Yangko dance?
Jared looked back and forth between Debbie and the camera. Suddenly, he started having a bad
feeling about it.
He pounced towards Debbie and snatching her phone, saw Carlos' message on it. Defeated, he
slumped down on the chair and murmured, "Mr. Huo is such a considerate teacher..." But in his mind,
he was cursing non-stop, "Fuck you, Carlos Huo!"
All that was left for him to do was leave the classroom, which he did, and Debbie replied to Carlos'
message, "Did you really record him?"
"Of course not. I'm too busy to disturb myself with that nonsense," Carlos replied.
"Then how did you hear what he said to me?"
"I totally don't know what he said, but I know him well. He is not a guy who would be convinced easily."
Debbie admired Carlos very much. She typed on her phone, "Well done, old man!"
"Call me Honey!"
Debbie rolled her eyes, speechless.
After all the classes had ended, Debbie left the campus to go back home but was stopped by Gail at
the school gates.
She ignored Gail and walked past her. Gail, however, grabbed her by her wrist and yelled, "Debbie
Nian!"
"Get out of my way!" Debbie shook off her hand impatiently.
"How dare you relate yourself to Carlos Huo!" Gail came to the point. She had sworn to herself that she
was going to find out this girl's secret today. Rumors had it that when Carlos had walked out of the
Caspian Hotel, he had been carrying Debbie in his arms.
"Who do you think you are? This has nothing to do with you!" Debbie snapped.
Gail bit her lower lip and replied, "My mom told my dad that you had gotten married. Who's your
husband?"
She had overheard her mother talk to her father and was really surprised that Debbie had gotten
married at such a young age.
Remembering the strange interaction between Debbie and Carlos, Gail had a bad feeling that Debbie
might have been married to Carlos.
"My husband is none of your business, Gail Mu. Don't bother me with these stupid questions again. If
you really have so much time, you should spend more of it with your parents," Debbie replied.
Gail's little sister, Sasha, was studying in another city. Although Gail here only, she barely went back
home. Her parents really missed her sometimes.
"Is your husband Hayden Gu?" Gail asked, ignoring what Debbie had said.
Upon hearing the name, Debbie turned to look Gail in the eye and asked, "How did you know him?"
When she had been with Hayden, she had kept it a secret from Gail, for fear that Gail might destroy
their relationship.
"So I'm right, huh? He is your husband!" With a proud smile, Gail continued, "No wonder you can afford
skin care products worth two hundred thousand dollars. He's from an affluent family. Congratulations!
You found a rich husband. Then what about you and Mr. Huo? What's your relationship?"
Gail was dying to know that. She didn't think Carlos could be Debbie's husband, because he had once
asked his men to throw Debbie into the ocean.
Debbie was really annoyed and raised her voice saying, "Gail Mu, one more word and I am going to
beat the shit out of you!"
Scared, Gail took several steps back. Plucking up some courage, she asked, "Are you afraid of people
finding out that you've cheated on your husband? I guess Mr. Huo doesn't know you're a married
woman, huh? What a bitch! You appear like an innocent girl, but actually you are a slut."
Despite the fury inside her, Debbie wouldn't lay a finger on Gail, as Gail was her aunt's daughter. She
took a deep breath and walked past Gail. Gail, however, followed after her and coaxed, "If you tell me
your relationship with Mr. Huo, I'll tell you where your brother is."
Gail's words successfully stopped Debbie.
Few people in Y City knew Debbie had a brother, who had been taken abroad since he had been a kid.
Debbie only knew she had a brother, but didn't know where he was and why he had been taken away.
Before his death, Artie had told Debbie, "Now that you're Carlos' wife, I can rest assured. The only
person I'm concerned about is your brother. Debbie, if there's a chance, please ask Carlos to help you
find your brother. I am really worried about him..."
