Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Waves in the Sea of Vinegar_1 Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Waves in the Sea of Vinegar_1 “”Are you Jiang Nanfei?” There was no resemblance to the middle-aged woman he had imagined. “How old are you this year?”
“I’m nineteen.” She was late to school due to poverty in her early years, starting a year later than her peers.
Dai Yifan had seen the portrait of the ‘Young Maiden.’ A nineteen-year-old girl who could produce such a piece was indeed extraordinary. “Wait… I remember the top student in your province is also named Jiang Nanfei?”
“Yes! That’s me!” Nan Fei nodded modestly, ignoring the heated, burning glances from the side and answered energetically.
“Hahaha…” Dai Yifan couldn’t help but laugh, holding a thermos lunch box in his left hand and extending his right, “Nice to meet you, I’m Dai Yifan, Dai Jinhai’s grandson. Since you’re my grandfather’s teacher, how should I address you?”
“Should I call you junior sister or auntie? My grandfather told me to call you auntie.”
His charming eyebrows rose slowly with a meaningful smile, his voice deep and graceful. Every syllable was delivered perfectly, showcasing his irresistible charm. Especially when he uttered the words ‘auntie’ and ‘junior sister,’ his flirtatious tone was undeniably tempting.
“Uh…” Nan Fei thought of herself as a person with good self-control, one who would appreciate beauty without being dazzled. However, confronted with Dai Yifan’s charm, her cheeks blushed slightly. She felt a bit awkward and helpless.
“Just call me Nan Fei!” No matter what he called her, once it came out of Dai Yifan’s mouth, it somehow felt inappropriate.
With arms crossed, Huo Beijiang watched as this outsider flirted with his wife. He felt so angry he could burst. His heart ached, and he felt as if he were about to fall into a sea of vinegar.
He flexed his wrist, his knuckles crackling.
Dai Yifan heard it clearly but he just gave a mischievous smile, grabbed Nan Fei’s small hand and shook it twice, letting go promptly before she could struggle.
His actions were so calculated that it seemed like Nan Fei wanted to shake his hand, with no signs of resistance.
Huo Beijiang’s expression grew dark and stern, “Dai Yifan, you’re asking for a beating!” As he was about to make a move, Nan Fei suddenly stepped in front of Dai Yifan.
“What are you doing?” Nan Fei glared at him, “This is my guest, I want you to leave.”
Huo Beijiang staggered slightly. The hurt caused by Nan Fei’s words was more painful than being cut multiple times by an enemy.
He had set aside his pride, his dignity for her. He pampered her, comforted her… and this was what he got in return?
Nan Fei regretted her words a bit after saying them, but recalling his near attempt to throw Qiao Jingxuan off the building at the county hospital, she had to stand firm. She could care less about Qiao Jingxuan, but Dai Yifan was her teacher’s grandson, and she couldn’t let him get hurt.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the second-floor corridor plunged to a freezing point, the pressure was so low it was suffocating.
“Jiang Nanfei, you’re ruthless!” Huo Beijiang bit his lip, turned, and went downstairs.
For some reason, as Nanfei watched his retreating figure, she unintentionally recalled the painful screams of Huo Beijiang in her past life after her death. The two images overlapped, making her eyes burn with tears.
Dai Yifan suddenly felt a twinge of guilt, he sincerely apologized, “I’m sorry! I caused trouble for you.”
