The pair went to change their clothes. Shui Anluo had to report to her new mentor which was Director Qiao. Qiao Yaruan was arranged to another director which also meant that they could no longer plot together. No, not that. They could no longer help each other now.
Shui Anluo heard sounds of laughter and a woman’s lovely voice when she arrived at the director’s office.
‘Is that Senior Sister Lan Xin?’
Shui Anluo wondered and knocked on the door.
“Come in.” Qiao Huihe immediately stopped laughing. Her cold and haughty voice could be heard from the room.
Shui Anluo pushed the door open. The first thing she saw was a long-haired woman on the sofa. She was dressed in white and wore a white lab coat as well. Shui Anluo looked up and looked at the warm smile that hung on the corners of her lips. Her nose bridge was very high and her pupils carried a faint hint of blue.
A mixed-blood child!
This was Shui Anluo’s first impression of her.
“Director, I’m here to report to you.” Shui Anluo looked away and stepped forward as she spoke.
Qiao Huihe narrowed her gaze at her but did not reply.
“You must be Shui Anluo, I’ve heard about you from Lusu. My teacher here has also shown me your report. Teacher, do you think that time makes it inevitable that in every profession, the rising generation is worthier than the former one? I certainly was not that capable in the past,” Lan Xin exclaimed then got up and held Shui Anluo’s hand.
Shui Anluo looked up at her. At that moment, her smile was quite pretty.
“Hello Senior Sister Lan Xin, I’ve heard of your name too. You’re my role model.” Of course, she had only heard of her outside just now.
“You don’t have to call me Senior Sister Lan Xin next time, it’s so strange. We’re both students under the same teacher. Just call me Senior Sister,” said Lan Xin as she pulled Shui Anluo to sit down. She then looked at Qiao Huihe. “Teacher, you haven’t accepted any disciples in many years.”
Qiao Huihe grunted indifferently, still preferring not to care about Shui Anluo.
“Luoluo, don’t take it to heart, she’s like that. She looks cold on the outside but she’s a really warm person on the inside. That’s what I’ve experienced in the past.” Lan Xin smiled and soothed Shui Anluo because she could feel that Shui Anluo was nervous.
“Thank you, Senior Sister, I’m fine.” Shui Anluo smiled as well, pretty much acknowledging what she had heard outside. This Senior Sister Lan Xin really was beautiful and a good person too.
“If there’s nothing else, you may be excused. Come by at ten to check on the wards with me,” Qiao Huihe icily instructed.
“Alright,” Shui Anluo got up and nodded at Lan Xin then turned around to leave.
“Teacher, Luoluo is pretty good. Why don’t you like her?” Lan Xin asked curiously.
“What’s so great about her? Previously, I thought that Qianchen and Ningyi made a great pair. It was so difficult to wait for him to get a divorce. Who would have thought that Qianchen would do something so irrational again,” said Qiao Huihe said as she rubbed her forehead, seemingly tired.
Lan Xin circled behind her and massaged her shoulders. “Teacher, let Ningyi deal with his own matters. He’s not a child anymore.”
“What about you? Are you still in love with Ningyi? I know that you’d left the country because of his rejection. Yuan Jiayi had been by his side at the time. I can’t say anything about remembering debts of gratitude but they’ve broken up long ago. If you still have feelings for Ningyi…”
“Teacher, did you invite me back here to matchmake me?” Lan Xin smiled and suddenly cut Qiao Huihe off. “Ningyi doesn’t love me,” Lan Xin murmured and lowered her head as a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
