âGo back and revise well. Call me if you need anything!â
Li Miao stood at the school gate and nodded hard, âSis, donât worry. Iâm an intern teacher, so 1 donât have many classes. 1 have a lot of time to revise now.â
âThatâs good. The weather is quite cold. Hurry up and go in.â Li Xu urged her.
Only then did Li Miao return to school.
The family got into the car and Zhang Kun drove in the direction of the Qin family.
On the way, Li Xu discussed with him, âWhen Miaomiao graduates in the summer, let her live in our house in the county. Itâs empty anyway. Let her stay there to study. She wonât have to go home and be so busy. She doesnât have the time or energy.â
The house belonged to Li Xu, so Zhang Kun naturally had no objections.
âAlright, weâll do as you say.â
The family had stayed with the Qin family for a few days before, so they were familiar with the Qin familyâs location.
In less than half an hour, Zhang Kun drove to the Qin familyâs house.
Coincidentally, the Qin familyâs courtyard door opened and a car came out.
Ji Yuanyuan had good eyesight. She narrowed his eyes and saw Cheng Shuqin sitting in the backseat.
âItâs Auntie Cheng!â Ji Yuanyuan reminded.
Sitting beside her, Ji Ziâang immediately rolled down the window and greeted Cheng Shuqin, âAuntie Cheng, itâs me, Auntie Chengâ¦â
Cheng Shuqin was reading some documents in the backseat. The car window was closed so she could not hear Ji Ziâangâs voice.
âMadam, someone seems to be calling for you!â The chauffeur in front reminded her.
Cheng Shuqin raised her head and looked ahead.
The car lights were a little bright. She closed her eyes and was a little surprised, âDaughter-in-law?â
She quickly got out of the car and went up to greet Ji Yuanyuan and the rest.
Ji Yuanyuan got out of the car and called out obediently from afar, âHello, Auntie Cheng.â
Cheng Shuqin smiled as she stepped forward and hugged Ji Yuanyuan. She said the same thing as Li Miao, âYou look like youâve grown a lot taller.â
Ji Yuanyuan scratched her head shyly, âI did grow taller.â
âAre you going out?â asked Li Xu.
âMucheng hasnât come back from class yet. I came back early today and wanted to pick him up.â
âWhy are you here?â she asked.
âArenât we accompanying Zixuan to take the competition? So, I wanted to come and see you guys.â Li Xu smiled and said, âWhy donât you go pick up Mucheng first? We can talk when you get him back?â
Cheng Shuqin quickly said, âThatâs fine too. Old Qin is back too. You guys go in first and chat with Old Qin for a while.â
As she spoke, she pulled Ji Yuanyuan and Li Xu into the house.
Li Xu gave Zhang Kun a look and left with Cheng Shuqin.
Zhang Kun opened the trunk and took out all the gifts from the trunk with the two children.
It was naturally not good to come to the Qin family empty-handed.
When they accompanied Li Miao to the supermarket, they also bought a few relatively presentable gifts.
As expected, Qin Haowen was in the living room. He sat on the sofa, leaning back with his eyes closed.
âHaowen, look whoâs here?â Cheng Shuqin said.
Qin Haowen opened his eyes and looked at the door.
When she saw Ji Yuanyuanâs family, her eyes were filled with surprise.
Cheng Shuqin said, âYou guys continue chatting. Iâll go and fetch Mucheng.â
Qin Haowen waved his hand, âAlright, you should hurry up and go. Mucheng will definitely be happy to know that Yuanyuan is here.â
Qin Haowenâs words reminded Cheng Shuqin. She looked at Ji Yuanyuan and asked tentatively, âYuanyuan, why donât you go with Auntie to pick Brother Mucheng up from school?â
Ji Yuanyuan blinked and said crisply, âYes!â
Cheng Shuqin was happy. She held Ji Yuanyuanâs hand and looked at Li Xu, âYou donât object, do you?â
Li Xu waved her hand, âI donât object, 1 donât object. You guys should go quickly. Donât make Mucheng wait.â
Cheng Shuqin smiled and led Ji Yuanyuan outside.
The chauffeur was still waiting outside. After getting into the car, Cheng Shuqin discussed with Ji Yuanyuan, âWhen you see Brother Mucheng later, donât get out of the car yet. How about we give him a surprise? Think about it. If he opens the car door and finds you inside, will he think that his eyes are playing tricks on him?â
Thinking of that scene, Cheng Shuqin couldnât help but laugh.
âAlright.â Ji Yuanyuan also smiled.
Qin Muchengâs cram school was not far from the Qin familyâs home. In less than ten minutes, the car arrived at the entrance of the cram school.
From afar, Qin Mucheng was already waiting at the door.
Ji Yuanyuan deliberately hid behind the back of the chair. In order not to let Qin Mucheng find out, Cheng Shuqin specially instructed the driver to park the car further away from Qin Mucheng.
The car stopped and Qin Mucheng was about to walk over.
However, at this moment, a little girl with a ponytail and a schoolbag on her back ran towards Qin Mucheng.
She held a letter in her hand and tried to stuff it into Qin Muchengâs hands.
Qin Mucheng was a little impatient and seemed unwilling to accept it.
The two of them started to fight.
Cheng Shuqin was dumbfounded. What was going on with her son?
âYuanyuan, donât misunderstand. Iâve never seen this girl before!â Cheng Shuqin whispered to Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan sighed in her heart.
Qin Mucheng was already in his third year of middle school. He had a good family background, good looks, and good grades. It was normal for girls to like him.
On the other side, the girl hugged Qin Muchengâs arm.
Qin Mucheng keep his hands closed and look at her impatiently.
He wanted to pull his arm out, but the girl hugged him tightly.
Cheng Shuqin looked at her son pitifully and asked Ji Yuanyuan, âYuanyuan, do you want to save your Brother Mucheng?â
Ji Yuanyuan straightened up, took a deep breath, and opened the car door.
The moment Qin Mucheng saw Ji Yuanyuan, he was stunned.
It was his moment of shock that gave the girl an opportunity to stuff the letter into Qin Muchengâs hand and even hold his hand.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the two of them holding hands and was a little surprised. Were ah the girls in 13 City so bold?
Qin Mucheng suddenly reacted and pushed her hard. The girl was caught off guard and fell to the ground, screaming.
Looking at Qin Muchengâs rude behavior, Cheng Shuqin covered her forehead helplessly.
Son, you look guilty!
âYuanyuan, why are you here? She⦠Sheâs my classmate from my cram school. I havenât even spoken much to her.â Qin Mucheng took a step forward, distancing himself from the girl and approaching Ji Yuanyuan as he explained.
The girl had already gotten up from the ground. She pouted and asked unhappily, âQin Mucheng, who is this?â
One look and she knew that she was a little brat. The girl did not mind and wanted to continue stuffing the letter into Qin Muchengâs hands.
âTake it. Iâve already made a bet with them. Just treat it as helping me onceâ¦â
Qin Mucheng was about to speak when Ji Yuanyuan stepped forward and stood beside him.. She looked at the girl and said coldly, âIâm sorry, he canât help you with this!â
