Xuxu’s advice and concern seemed to comfort Su Yue as the corners of the latter’s mouth curled up. She nodded her head in response.
Xuxu heaved a sigh of relief and retracted her hand. She diverted her concentration back on the wheel once more.
“Third sister-in-law, can we be friends?”
Su Yue raised her head and asked Xuxu.
Be friends? Xuxu was momentarily startled, and she glanced askew at Su Yue in confusion. Su Yue’s dewy and bright eyes were filled with anticipation.
“Didn’t you already address me as third sister-in-law?”
They were considered to be sort of… family?
Although she didn’t want to admit and wished that they didn’t exist, wasn’t it already a fact?
“I don’t have any friends.” Su Yue bent her head with her mouth pouting with pity.
Xuxu couldn’t stop herself from pitying this lovely girl. If Grandmother was around to witness how Su Yue was, no matter how protective she was towards First Aunt, she would definitely adore this granddaughter of hers.
“You’re Su Yue, don’t bother with what people say. People will like you as long as you work hard. So you have nothing to worry about.”
She really doesn’t know how to console people. Ever since she was a child, she can only depend on herself when she was troubled or unhappy.
When her parents passed away, Grandfather said something to her.
He said, “Xuxu, your parents, uncle, and aunt are no longer here. When I’m old in the future, no one will be around to support and take care of me. So you have to study hard and support me in the future.”
These words were her driving force, and she felt that at any time, her grandfather’s words were more effective than any encouragement.
Su Yue heard what Xuxu had to say, her eyes sparkled with emotion. “Really?”
Xuxu pressed her lips tightly and nodded. “Yes.”
In the morning, luxury and branded cars packed the school entrance. Most of the students were sent off to school by their chauffeurs.
Xuxu stopped at a parking lot outside the entrance and unfastened her seatbelt.
Although Su Yue looked delicate and demure, her actions were swift and nimble. She opened the door and jumped out of the car as her ponytail danced to and fro.
At that moment, Xuxu thought of a Chinese proverb, ‘Be deliberate in counsel and prompt in action.’
Su Yue was wearing a red coat with a pair of black pants. She gripped the handle of her schoolbag as she smiled happily at Xuxu.
Her fair and tiny face was turning red because of the strong gusts of wind.
“Come on.”
Xuxu told Sue Ye as she locked the car door. She turned around and led the way.
She walked to the entrance and took out Su Yue’s student card. After registering it, she went into the school with her.
It was a prestigious school, and the architecture and environment were all exceedingly posh and impressive. Xuxu felt that the children weren’t juststudying here; rather, they were enjoying this lifestyle.
She and Yan Rusheng also attended a similar school like it, but it paled in comparison to this school.
It was built recently, and the elementary school to senior high school were all on the same campus.
Xuxu brought Su Yue to the office. The door was already ajar and there were two people standing in front of the desk, engaged in a conversation.
She extended her hand and knocked on the door.
“Enter.” The person in the room answered before raising his head to peer at them. The middle-aged man wearing a gray coat was momentarily stunned when he recognized Xuxu. Seconds later, he recollected himself and wore a smile. “Young Madam Yan.”
He placed the documents that he was holding on his desk and instructed his assistant. “You may leave first, we shall discuss again.”
His assistant nodded and turned around. When he walked past Xuxu, he politely nodded at her.
