After eating breakfast, Zhai Sheng sent Qiao Nan to school in the Land Rover.
Shi Qing arched her eyebrows at seeing Zhai Sheng getting off the car. “Brother Zhai, you are really here in the capital!” She had known Zhai Sheng for many years, but she rarely saw him in the capital.
Although she had heard of it previously that Zhai Sheng would come to the capital, Shi Qing was skeptical toward this news. She had to see him for herself to believe it.
People changed real fast, particularly Brother Zhai. He would change and do anything for Qiao Nan.
“I will leave Nan Nan to you. Take good care of her.” Zhai Sheng opened the door for Qiao Nan personally and helped her get off the car. He waited until Qiao Nan stood in front of Shi Qing before he handed her belongings to her.
As a soldier, Zhai Sheng never cared about gentlemanly behavior. But as a Chinese man, Zhai Sheng knew instinctively how he should care for the woman he loved.
“Remember to call me in the evening.” Zhai Sheng reminded Qiao Nan before leaving in his car.
Shi Qing watched as Zhai Sheng left. She sighed. “I never expected that there would be a day where Brother Zhai would behave like a nanny and be so considerate to someone else. Qiao Nan, you must be lucky in this life for Brother Zhai to fall in love with you. Why do I have the feeling that Brother Zhai is treating you like his daughter?”
Seeing how Zhai Sheng took great care of Qiao Nan, it reminded Shi Qing of the days back when her father sent her to school for the first time. It was no different from what she saw just now.
Qiao Nan smiled. “Both of us have lessons this morning. We must hurry or we will be late.”
“Hey, wait for me!” Shi Qing widened her eyes. She suddenly remembered that she had classes this morning. “Oh, my goodness! The lesson this morning is conducted by the teacher well-known in our faculty for her fierce temper. If I am late for her class, I heard that she will make life difficult for the students for three consecutive years!”
“It’s such a coincidence.” Tang Jiayun was amused as she witnessed Qiao Nan getting off the Land Rover once again. Like she said, she had an affinity with Qiao Nan. They would definitely be good friends.
If not, why would she be present whenever something happened to Qiao Nan?
Tang Jiayun flicked her hair. She had her high heels on and was getting ready to walk to the classroom. She saw Lü Yan who had a glum expression. “Hey, have you come back from outside? Are you addicted to the internet? Have you been to the internet café again? Whose identity card did you borrow this time? Whose money did you use this time? Who is the unlucky one that you posted a thread about this time around?”
Tang Jiayun was puzzled why Lü Yan was able to remain at Peking University.
Things had been clarified, and demerit points were given. Why did Lü Yan have the courage to stay at Peking University and to stay outside for the night? Tang Jiayun had to hand it to Lü
Yan.
Was Lü Yan that strong emotionally and hence could accept everything?
“What does this have to do with you?” Lü Yan retorted unhappily. “It had only been a few days and it was a different man now. Back then, the man was her elder. I suppose the man just now is her elder brother?” Crap. Like her, Qiao Nan did not come from a well-to-do family. How was it possible that her brother had such an expensive car?
“What a fool.” Tang Jiayun blew on her nails. “Didn’t you notice that the car was the same as the one from before? Therefore, the handsome guy must be related to the man from the last time.”
Even if they were not directly related, they must be relatives.
Initially, Tang Jiayun had her suspicions as well. She was not certain whether the older man was really Qiao Nan’s elder. Perhaps it was because of the man that the incident regarding the thread was covered up.
However, from what Tang Jiayun saw today, she felt that what happened last time might be a misunderstanding. They had been thinking too much.
The handsome guy bore a resemblance to the older man from last time. They must be father and son.
No man would help his father send his kept woman to school. It was simply ludicrous.
Lü Yan was in a daze upon hearing what Tang Jiayun said. She recalled what happened and realized that Tang Jiayun might be right.
Lü Yan had a sullen expression on her face. Not only was she issued demerits points, but Yu Xiaoxiao also kept ignoring her. She had no friends at school.
Lü Yan had no other choice but to consider being friends with students from the same hometown.
It was a pity that they came from different faculties and their classrooms and dormitories were far apart.
Furthermore, Lü Yan was capable of using cheap tricks on others, but it did not mean that other people would do so as well. Many students cherished their chances to study at Peking University. They wished that there were forty-eight hours a day so that they could study. They did not have the time to be up to no good like Lü Yan.
Moreover, what Lü Yan did was indeed too lowly. People from her hometown disliked students who made trouble out of nothing.
Lü Yan tried to be friendly to them, but her warm feelings were met with cold rebuke. Eventually, she stopped being friendly to them.
Lü Yan was still upset about this when she saw a handsome man drove Qiao Nan to school early in the morning.
Zhai Sheng was tall and upright. He had the looks and a righteous aura about him. People could not help but want to rely on him.
Lü Yan grew fond of him as well.
But she was upset that the handsome man that she liked drove Qiao Nan to school early in the morning. She was jealous of Qiao Nan. She could not help but comment that Qiao Nan was with an older man previously, and she was with a younger man this time.
Lü Yan kept staring at Zhai Sheng. Previously, when she wanted to teach Qiao Nan a lesson, she had also taken a close look at the photo.
She might have overlooked it previously, but after Tang Jiayun’s reminder, Lü Yan thought about it and realized that the man who picked up Qiao Nan that day had a resemblance to the man who sent Qiao Nan to school today.
“You have sharp eyes.” Tang Jiayun used to hate Qiao Nan more than her. Why did she side with her now?
Tang Jiayun could tell that Lü Yan was puzzled. She hurried toward the classroom while she ridiculed Lü Yan. “I may have sharp eyes, but you are a moron. You want to bask in Qiao Nan’s light, yet you dare to act as if you are the boss. Do you think you own the world?”
Tang Jiayun might have a bad temper and was after material gains.
However, she understood what was good for her, and no matter how difficult it was, she was willing to do anything to get what she wanted.
Tang Jiayun disliked people like Lü Yan. She wanted to stand to gain but pretended to be prim and proper.
She was so pretentious!
“Hmph!” Lü Yan clenched her fists. Tang Jiayun knew that Qiao Nan was resourceful and wanted to suck up to her.
