Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Waiting Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Waiting Zhou Huaiyu: “I heard a rumor before. It seems like Jiang Nian’s mom was someone’s mistress, and just a couple of days ago, she cornered that girl and, to please her lover, she even specially changed her daughter’s surname to Jiang.”
Shen Zhaozhao remembered, that day Jiang Youyi mentioned, Jiang Nian and her mom were living in a house bought by the Jiang’s.
If they asked her, they should be able to find out.
However, Shen Zhaozhao didn’t really want to deal with her, and she also didn’t want this matter to become widely known.
“How about we ask the homeroom teacher?” Gu Chengzhou suggested. “I remember at the beginning of the school year we did family registration, the homeroom teacher should have everyone’s home addresses.”
Everyone thought it was feasible.
In the end, everyone’s gazes unanimously fell on Sheng Chuyi.
She was the favorite student of every subject teacher, and if she asked, she would definitely get the information.
“Wait here.” Sheng Chuyi had no choice with them and then went off to the office.
In no time, Sheng Chuyi came out of the office.
“How did it go, did you get the information?” Shen Zhaozhao asked eagerly.
Sheng Chuyi: “The homeroom teacher said she had also planned to visit Jiang Nian’s house to take a look, but since we’re going, she won’t go for now. She told us to go there after school, and it just so happens that we don’t have to attend evening self-study tonight.”
That evening, the four of them followed the address and found Jiang Nian’s home, which was a two-story cottage.
Shen Zhaozhao stepped forward and pressed the doorbell.
“Who are you looking for?” A very glamorous woman opened the door.
“Hello, may I ask if Jiang Nian lives here?”
The woman sized them up and said, “You are Nian Nian’s classmates, right? Nian Nian hasn’t come back from school yet. Do you want to come in and wait for her?”
“You said, Jiang Nian went to school?” Shen Zhaozhao frowned, but they hadn’t seen Jiang Nian at school at all.
“Yeah, she went out early this morning. Haven’t you seen her at school?” The woman also seemed to realize something was amiss.
“Has something happened to Nian Nian?” She asked with knitted brows.
Shen Zhaozhao didn’t mention how Jiang Nian was bullied at school nor that she hadn’t gone to school for four days, she just said, “It’s okay, Auntie, we just had an agreement to go to the bookstore together today, and since we couldn’t wait for her, we came over to check.”
“Why are you here?” As she finished speaking, Jiang Nian’s voice suddenly rang out from behind them.
“Nian Nian, you’re back? They said they are your classmates, they came looking for you.”
“Mom, I’m going out with them for a while,” Jiang Nian said, then took the lead and started walking outside.
Shen Zhaozhao and the others exchanged glances, then said to the woman, “Auntie, we’ll be leaving now.”
“Okay, remember to come visit our home when you have time.” The woman called out warmly.
After leaving the small cottage and walking some distance, Shen Zhaozhao finally spoke: “Jiang Nian, where have you been these past few days? Why haven’t you been coming to school?”
“You haven’t told my mom I haven’t been going to school, have you?” Jiang Nian asked.
“No,” Shen Zhaozhao shook her head, “but your mom seems to suspect something.”
“It’s okay, I’ll talk to her about it.”
“You?” Shen Zhaozhao was at a loss for what else to ask for a moment.
“I went to work!” Jiang Nian said on her own initiative.
“You all know that the house we are living in was bought by Jiang Youyi’s dad. The money for my school, food, and clothes all come from him. I don’t want to spend his money anymore…”
Shen Zhaozhao: “So you wanted to work and earn money yourself?”
