In the midst of winter, the weather was bone-chillingly cold, standing outside could leave your feet painfully frozen. The principal couldn’t bear to see the students suffer, and He Nan, who disliked fuss and bother, simply made a few official remarks before announcing the dismissal, allowing the students to carry the news home.
The hundreds of students scattered across the playground quickly dispersed, and the diminutive figure of Shen Mianmian was swiftly engulfed by the crowd.
He Nan didn’t linger long; after being bid farewell by the principal and a few teachers, he drove out of the school gates.
Because there were many students around, he wasn’t driving fast. Just as he was about to reach the main road, a student suddenly dashed out from the side of the road, blocking the car. He frowned, and immediately hit the brakes.
Zhou Siyu felt a burst of joy as she brought the car to a stop. She immediately ran up to the car window and knocked, saying, "Big brother He, I have something to tell you."
Zhou Siyu had never ridden in a car and didn’t know about the soundproofing effects of vehicles.
He Nan rolled down the window, his brows slightly furrowed, and asked coldly.
When faced with He Nan’s gaze, Zhou Siyu shivered with fear, and her speech became hesitant, "He, big brother He, I’m Zhou Siyu."
He Nan’s frown deepened, "Get to the point."
He Nan had always had no fondness for those who tried to establish relations right off the bat, regardless of gender, so his tone was distant and cold.
He didn’t treat Zhou Siyu like a child either; at fifteen or sixteen, she was old enough to know better and couldn’t be considered a child anymore.
This was nothing like what she had envisioned, and she suddenly didn’t know how to respond.
Seeing He Nan’s expression growing colder and about to roll up the window and drive away, she bit her lip and decided to just come out with it.
"Big brother He, I wanted to tell you that you’ve been deceived by Shen Mianmian. In fact, her family is very well-off, and she doesn’t need any financial aid to go to school. Look at the military coat she’s wearing, it’s quite valuable. She also eats out every day at noon. This spot should go to a student who truly needs it."
She swallowed nervously and continued to speak with righteous indignation, "I know it’s not good to speak ill of someone behind their back, but I really don’t want you to be deceived by Shen Mianmian. The teacher said that we must be honest, so I wanted to tell you the truth."
After finishing, she looked at He Nan with eager anticipation.
"Are you Shen Mianmian’s cousin?" He Nan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his voice cold as ice shards.
"Yes." Zhou Siyu was first taken aback, then her eyes suddenly lit up, He Nan actually recognized her, was he paying attention to her all along?
Being remembered by such an important person like He Nan made her heart uncontrollably throb with excitement.
He Nan slowly rolled up the car window and stepped on the accelerator, driving away.
Remembered her? Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥
He said he would remember her... Zhou Siyu was thrilled, He Nan’s expression was so cold when he heard her words, maybe he was angry with Shen Mianmian!
Now, Shen Mianmian’s spot would definitely be revoked.
Meanwhile, Wang Jingjing and Zhao Xinlan had already made their way to the office, with Zhao Xinlan taking the lead, they were reporting to the principal.
"Principal, Shen Mianmian’s family is quite well-off. She eats out every day and wears a military coat; her family is very rich. Zhou Siyu’s school fees are even paid by her family. You’ve all been deceived by Shen Mianmian," Zhao Xinlan reported.
"Principal, I can vouch for that," Wang Jingjing chimed in, "Zhou Siyu can also testify. This spot should go to a student who really needs it, not Shen Mianmian."
"Principal, I’ve been wanting to tell you, Shen Mianmian is a student with questionable character. Her family’s conditions are extremely good. If she’s included in this list, other students will definitely have objections." Li Qiumei had wanted to speak to the principal about this matter ever since she found out that Shen Mianmian was also considered for the spot. The arrival of Wang Jingjing and Zhao Xinlan was just what she wanted.
