nWithout turning around to face him, Qiao Nian looked down with dark eyes and simply replied, “There are many roads, but studying is the most practical road for everyone. Everyone needs a ticket to enter and leave society, but how well you can mix in society depends on your personal ability.”

n“Your task now is to study hard.”

n

n

nOnce she finished speaking, she no longer reasoned with the adolescent kid and waved to him. “Okay, I’m leaving. Go back and take good care of your mother. Make sure you watch Uncle Chen drink the soup I gave him.”

nChen Yuan looked at her back and silently clenched his fists.

nHe must get ahead and be outstanding!

n…

n

n

nQiao Nian slowly walked to the top of the stairs and greeted the two people waiting for her.

n“Brother Ye.”

n“Gu…”

nShe suddenly couldn’t remember what Gu San’s name was.

n

n

nGu San reacted quickly and immediately said wittily, “Miss Qiao, just call me Gu San. I’m the third child in my family.”

nShe could just address Master Wang as “brother”.

nIt was music to Master Wang’s ears!

nSure enough, after hearing her call him “brother”, Master Wang’s expression looked much better.

nMiss Qiao had been so casual and perfunctory about it.

nIt was obvious she didn’t care much about it.

n

n

nBut it meant all the world to him!

nQiao Nian nodded. “Gu San.”

n“Don’t call me Miss Qiao, just call me Qiao Nian.”

n“Miss Qiao” reminded her of some bad people and things.

nGu San very discerningly changed his words. “Qiao Nian, it’s a nice name. How about I call you Nian Nian?”

nHe turned his head and said to Ye Wangchuan, “Master Wang, don’t call Qiao Nian by her name. Nian Nian sounds more intimate.”

nYe Wangchuan narrowed his eyes and glanced at him. Gu San’s boiling blood was immediately frozen in place. He stopped behaving arrogantly and stood with his hands interlaced honestly.

nGlancing at Gu San, and then at the extremely obedient girl in front, Ye Wangchuan asked, “You came to see Aunt Chen?”

n

n

nAfter eating mala that night, she had mentioned that she had a good relationship with the woman who sold mala.

nBut he didn’t expect them to be so close.

nShe even went to see her after school.

nQiao Nian nodded casually. “… I guess.” She had taught the adolescent kid a good lesson on the way.

nGu San listened anxiously beside him, and then asked nonchalantly, “Nian Nian, I just saw you talking with a boy of the same age in the corridor. Who was that?”

nYe Wangchuan’s eyelids jumped twice, his eyebrows sharpened, and he glared at him.

nGu San shut his mouth again.

nHis voice low and sultry, he answered before Qiao Nian could, “It’s probably the boy we saw that night. His name is Chen Yuan, right? He’s Aunt Chen’s son.”

nQiao Nian didn’t expect him to have such a good memory and looked up in surprise and shock. “Yes, that’s him.”

nWow~

nThis was the first time Gu San saw a man explaining the identity of his own love rival.

nMaster Wang was impressive.

nBut he didn’t dare to laugh and only swallowed his laughter stiffly.

n

n

n“Since we’re here, why don’t you come to see Chen Chen with me?”

nYe Wangchuan saw that she was still carrying a schoolbag. He reached out with his beautiful, long, and slender fingers, and took her bag with his powerful grip. “Give me your schoolbag, I’ll carry it for you.”

nThe schoolbag was filled with precious things, so Qiao Nian frowned and hesitated for a moment, but her bag was arbitrarily snatched away.
