“Go back and revise well. Call me if you need anything!”
Li Miao stood at the school gate and nodded hard, “Sis, don’t worry. I’m an intern teacher, so 1 don’t have many classes. 1 have a lot of time to revise now.”
“That’s good. The weather is quite cold. Hurry up and go in.” 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, “When Miaomiao graduates in the summer, let her live in our house in the county. It’s empty anyway. Let her stay there to study. She won’t have to go home and be so busy. She doesn’t have the time or energy.”
The house belonged to Li Xu, so Zhang Kun naturally had no objections.
“Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
The family had stayed with the Qin family for a few days before, so they were familiar with the Qin family’s location.
In less than half an hour, Zhang Kun drove to the Qin family’s house.
Coincidentally, the Qin family’s 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.
“It’s Auntie Cheng!” Ji Yuanyuan reminded.
Sitting beside her, Ji Zi’ang immediately rolled down the window and greeted Cheng Shuqin, “Auntie Cheng, it’s me, Auntie Cheng…”
Cheng Shuqin was reading some documents in the backseat. The car window was closed so she could not hear Ji Zi’ang’s voice.
“Madam, someone seems to be calling for you!” 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, “Daughter-in-law?”
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, “Hello, Auntie Cheng.”
Cheng Shuqin smiled as she stepped forward and hugged Ji Yuanyuan. She said the same thing as Li Miao, “You look like you’ve grown a lot taller.”
Ji Yuanyuan scratched her head shyly, “I did grow taller.”
“Are you going out?” asked Li Xu.
“Mucheng hasn’t come back from class yet. I came back early today and wanted to pick him up.”
“Why are you here?” she asked.
“Aren’t we accompanying Zixuan to take the competition? So, I wanted to come and see you guys.” Li Xu smiled and said, “Why don’t you go pick up Mucheng first? We can talk when you get him back?”
Cheng Shuqin quickly said, “That’s fine too. Old Qin is back too. You guys go in first and chat with Old Qin for a while.”
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.
“Haowen, look who’s here?” Cheng Shuqin said.
Qin Haowen opened his eyes and looked at the door.
When she saw Ji Yuanyuan’s family, her eyes were filled with surprise.
Cheng Shuqin said, “You guys continue chatting. I’ll go and fetch Mucheng.”
Qin Haowen waved his hand, “Alright, you should hurry up and go. Mucheng will definitely be happy to know that Yuanyuan is here.”
Qin Haowen’s words reminded Cheng Shuqin. She looked at Ji Yuanyuan and asked tentatively, “Yuanyuan, why don’t you go with Auntie to pick Brother Mucheng up from school?”
Ji Yuanyuan blinked and said crisply, “Yes!”
Cheng Shuqin was happy. She held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand and looked at Li Xu, “You don’t object, do you?”
Li Xu waved her hand, “I don’t object, 1 don’t object. You guys should go quickly. Don’t make Mucheng wait.”
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, “When you see Brother Mucheng later, don’t 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?”
Thinking of that scene, Cheng Shuqin couldn’t help but laugh.
“Alright.” Ji Yuanyuan also smiled.
Qin Mucheng’s cram school was not far from the Qin family’s 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 Mucheng’s 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?
“Yuanyuan, don’t misunderstand. I’ve never seen this girl before!” 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 Mucheng’s 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, “Yuanyuan, do you want to save your Brother Mucheng?”
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 Mucheng’s 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 Mucheng’s rude behavior, Cheng Shuqin covered her forehead helplessly.
Son, you look guilty!
“Yuanyuan, why are you here? She… She’s my classmate from my cram school. I haven’t even spoken much to her.” 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, “Qin Mucheng, who is this?”
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 Mucheng’s hands.
“Take it. I’ve already made a bet with them. Just treat it as helping me once…”
Qin Mucheng was about to speak when Ji Yuanyuan stepped forward and stood beside him.. She looked at the girl and said coldly, “I’m sorry, he can’t help you with this!”
