"Mianmian running a small business?"
Li Chunhua looked shocked. After the reform and opening up, indeed there had been an increase in private businesses, and many people had made money. Several more families in the town had become ten-thousandaires, but she had never imagined that Shen Mianmian, so young, would have such ideas and courage.
If someone else had said this, she wouldn’t have believed it, but coming from He Nan, she didn’t doubt it at all.
She sighed, "Mianmian is such a bright child, and she can endure hardships. She’s bound to achieve great things in the future. I thought the money was given to her by you. I never expected that she earned it all by herself. Such a good child, it’s a pity she doesn’t have good parents."
"She couldn’t choose her birth or parents, but how she walks her path in the future, she can decide for herself." As for the affairs of Shen Mianmian’s family, He Nan also knew quite a lot.
As long as Shen Mianmian was willing to step out, no one could stop her.
Luckily, she was courageous and responsible, not letting him down.
"Even though you say that, it’s not easy for a young girl to be out there," Li Chunhua said with a worried look. "He Nan, although Mianmian is sensible and smart, she’s still a young girl. After she gets to the city, you must look out for her more! There are many bad people out there, and if a young girl like her were to be targeted by bad people, that would not be good at all."
Li Chunhua didn’t clarify further, but she believed that He Nan, being as intelligent as he was, would definitely understand her.
Shen Mianmian was a young girl, pretty, and had money on her; bad men and thieves liked to target girls like her the most.
"Auntie, rest assured, protecting a young girl in Licheng is not a difficult task," He Nan said indifferently, with a trace of distance, but his attitude was very polite.
With these words, Li Chunhua truly felt relieved. He Nan was reliable in handling matters; he never boasted and would fulfill what he promised. Mianmian’s life in the city was sure to be better than at home.
With this in mind, Li Chunhua took out a pair of hand-embroidered sandals from the house.
"I made these for Mianmian. I was planning to give them to her as a reward after her exams. Now that she is going to the city with you, I don’t know when she will come back next. Can you please take them to her? When I have time, I’ll visit her in the city."
He Nan took the sandals, nodded, and glanced at the sun. It was almost noon. He had not stayed for lunch at the Zhao Family’s place and directly drove to the town.
At noon, as lunchtime came, students who had finished the morning part of the exams ran out of the school. After eating, they would have to take the second part of the exams; if they finished eating early, they could review their notes for a bit more.
Although it might be a last-minute effort, it was still better than not reviewing at all; it might prove useful.
Students whose homes were farther away went to eat in town, while those who lived closer chose to go home for lunch.
Because there were many students out at this time, He Nan did not park his car in front of the school but on another, more secluded street.
Standing at the school gates, he attracted a lot of attention. Some girls, even after walking several meters past, couldn’t help turning back to look at him.
He was like a character who had stepped out of a book, emanating an air of righteousness, with features as if carved by a skilled sculptor. People couldn’t help but look at him, then look again, yet they didn’t dare to stare directly.
Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan came out and saw He Nan standing under a tree by the school gates. Their eyes lit up, and they hurried over. Read complete versıon only at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Mhm," He Nan glanced at them and started walking. "Let’s go, time to eat."
