Looks good, doesn’t it?
In a moment, he’ll make you question life itself.
Bai Lian took out her biology book and notebook, her slender and fair fingertips pressing against the page numbers of the notebook, her long eyelashes lowered, methodically stating, “His name is Jiang Xiaoniao.”
“Jiang Xiaoniao?” Pu Xiaohan took her words for truth.
Jiang He looked up at Bai Lian incredulously once again.
If Jiang He were a normal child, he would definitely have objected loudly and introduced himself.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t—
Jiang He could only silently flip the dictionary to the page with the character (crane).
“You see,” Bai Lian said calmly as she pointed the tip of her pen at one half of the character “..,” looked sideways, and calmly told Pu Xiaohan, “It means this bird.”
With her face in her hands, Pu Xiaohan looked at Jiang He, “Although the name is strange, it’s pretty cute.”
Jiang He: ”
“Whoosh
He silently turned the page.
Then he took out his seven-layered five Magic Cube from his backpack.
Pu Xiaohan, who had just written a few words and was stretching, caught sight of the unfamiliar, football-shaped cube the boy was slowly pulling out.
Twelve sides, twelve colors, and still a seven-layered cube; she felt dizzy just looking at it.
Then, in the next second, she saw—
The delicate boy restored the colors on one face to the same color.
Her half-raised hand paused in midair.
Tang Ming finally retracted his gaze contentedly from across the room.
Some time passed.
Jiang He, playing with the seven-layered five Magic Cube, yawned quietly.
Bai Lian tilted her head, took out some milk, inserted the straw, and handed it to Jiang He with composure, “Don’t fall asleep, Jiang Xiaoniao. You normally can hold up well; don’t sleep now, I’ll stay with you till tomorrow.”
Jiang Xiaoniao holding the milk:
Meanwhile.
At the Ren Family home.
Upstairs.
The secretary-general, seeing Ren Wanxuan in a sulk, whispered comfortingly, “Miss, I understand your grievances, but please don’t throw a tantrum in front of Mr. Ren. He likes to be in control and not be controlled. After all, you are his only granddaughter. Miss, you must believe that I am absolutely on your side.”
“I know,” Ren Wanxuan responded sullenly.
If it hadn’t been for the secretary-general risking his own safety to save Ren Jiawei and personally handing the newborn Ren Wanxuan to Ren Qian, Ren Wanxuan’s safe birth would have been impossible.
As a great contributor to the Ren Family,
the secretary-general still remained cautious and modest, without resting on his laurels. Everyone in the Ren Family, including Ren Jiawei, trusted him deeply.
After he comforted Ren Wanxuan, he then stepped out.
Ren Qian stood at the end of the corridor, “How is she doing?”
“The miss says she knows she was wrong,” the secretary bowed his head humbly, “She also doesn’t want to cause you worry; she’s very remorseful.”
Ren Wanxuan then came out to apologize, “Grandfather, I’m sorry.”
Ren Qian couldn’t possibly be truly angry with her, “It’s alright. Remember to apologize to your teacher later.”
Downstairs.
Ren Jiawei was on the phone in the living room, “Yeah… okay.”
Ji Shaorong sat to the side, looking down as he sipped his tea.
Ren Qian then sat opposite Ren Jiawei, waiting for her response.
Ren Wanxuan sat beside Ren Qian, unconsciously twirling her fingers.
“How did it go? What did Dr. Gao’s assistant say?” Ren Qian hurriedly inquired once Ren Jiawei hung up the call.
Ren Jiawei threw her phone onto the table and crossed her arms over her chest, sweeping her gaze around the room, “Dr. Gao gave a standard answer, let’s leave it at that. After all these years of elite education, they still can’t compete with Chen Zhu. What can I say?”
“How did Teacher Li arrange things?” Ren Qian interrupted Ren Jiawei, looking up at the secretary standing by,
“Noon, a private room in the Wanhe Building,” the secretary-general checked the schedule, “You’ve invited him; he couldn’t possibly refuse to give you face. The only issue is that Miss Bai’s phone doesn’t seem to be reachable.”
Ji Shaorong, who had been silent up to this point, spoke up indifferently, “Alian is focused on her studies, and she has already given her spot to someone else. I hope you don’t disturb her.”
The others in the hall didn’t know about this.
“She gave her spot away just like that?” Ren Qian was shocked.
Ren Wanxuan also suddenly stood up.
The secretary looked at Ji Shaorong with a deep frown, “Mr. Ji, she’s at the very least your niece, and we are all relatives. Why do you keep helping outsiders? If she’s giving the spot away casually, why not give it to Miss Wanxuan?”
Ren Qian didn’t interrupt the secretary.
Clearly, that was also his line of thought.
Admittedly, he admired Bai Lian a lot, but compared with Ren Wanxuan, she seemed insignificant.
“First it was the book, and now it’s the spot,” Ji Shaorong stood up, looking at Ren Qian, “What does she owe you?”
