Wu Tong facepalmed, and then she glanced at the food in front of her. âEat first. The food doesnât taste good cold.â
The maid cleaned the room every day, so the room was almost spotless.
Various flowers and green plants were placed in some areas, making the room appear lusty.
Wu Tong looked around the room and felt that there was nothing she could do.
She checked the time on her watch, then stood up.
âIâll be going then. Tianxin, donât exhaust yourself.â
Ye Tianxin wanted to see Wu Tong off downstairs, but Wu Tong refused. âDonât see me off. Make better use of your time, read a few pages then go to bed early.â
âAuntie.â
Wu Tong stretched out her hand and gently brushed the hair on Ye Tianxinâs shoulders. She said, âI used to be mean and prejudiced towards you. Tianxin, I hope you donât hold a grudge against me. You are a good child, and Xiao Cang is lucky to have you.â
Wu Tong knew her sonâs temperament. If he hadnât met Ye Tianxin, he would have stayed single perhaps for the rest of his life.
âAuntie, Iâm lucky to have met Brother Li.â
If not for Li Qingcang, she wouldnât have access to the upper class.
It would have been even more impossible for her to meet her mother-in-law and Xie Xuning.
Ye Tianxin knew that her life wouldnât be as it was if she hadnât met Li Qingcang.
She might have still got high scores on the college entrance examinations, but she was unlikely to be a top scorer.
She might have still starred in Du Juanâs âRed Cherryâ, but it would have been impossible to have the full support of Jing Entertainment Group.
In short, after meeting Li Qingcang, her life had started taking a turn for the better.
Ye Tianxin hit the jackpot with Li Qingcang.
âAnyway, you two are good. I feel very comforted when I look at the two of you. Okay, I wonât keep you long. Iâll leave now. Iâll come and see you another day.â
Wu Tong went downstairs. Ye Tianxin went back to the apartment, put the dishes in the dishwasher, and pressed the start button.
While sitting on the sofa, holding a Totoro pillow, she flipped through a book on international politics, and the TV in front of her displayed a foreign anatomy class.
Ye Tianxin was doing two things at the same time, but it didnât affect her productivity.
At this time, the phone rang.
Ye Tianxin picked up the phone and said in a low voice, âHello?â
âTianxin? Is this Tianxin? This is Xiaohui.â
Ye Tianxin was startled. Why would Li Xiaohui call her?
âThis is she. Whatâs the matter, Xiaohui?â
Li Xiaohui started crying.
In between sobs, she said to Ye Tianxin, âTianxin, Iâm at the Imperial Capital Railway Station right now. Can you come to pick me up?â
âAre you alone? Why arenât you in school?â
After the college entrance examinations, Ye Tianxin did not maintain contact with her high school classmates.
However, last time, when she and her grandmother returned to Jiameng Town, she heard that Li Xiaohui was admitted to Teachers College.
âItâs a long story. Letâs talk about it when we meet, okay?â
Li Xiaohui was here, and she was her classmate. It was impossible for Ye Tianxin to ignore her. She had to drive to the train station.
âXiaohui?â
Ye Tianxin walked to a telephone booth in front of the train station.
Li Xiaohui didnât recognize Ye Tianxin at first glance.
Ye Tianxin was wearing a khaki trench coat and a pair of flat shoes. Her fair, slender legs were to die for.
She was very pretty.
Her temperament had also changed.
Li Xiaohui felt ambivalence in her heart.
