"Young people really do have quick minds~" The sanitation worker aunt imdiately took down her phone from around her neck and started taking pictures of the green crocodile Hermès bag in the lady’s hand.
The lady, seeing how genuinely pleased and serious the aunt was, didn’t know what to say, but patiently slid the bag off her wrist to hold it in her hand, making it easier for the aunt to take clearer photos.
After the sanitation worker aunt finished taking pictures, she happily stayed in place for a while, admiring the photos on her phone before hanging it back around her neck.
Then, she hopped on her tricycle and said with a grin to the lady and Ning Youguang, "I haven’t finished my work over there yet, so I’ll be off. Once I’m done, I can go ho early and browse Pinduoduo."
...
After the sanitation worker aunt left,
the lady saw that Ning Youguang had almost finished wiping the painting and imdiately made an offer, "Young lady, have you had lunch yet? If not, join ."
"I’m sorry, ma’am, I’m rushing to school and don’t have ti to join you for lunch. Thank you for the invitation," Ning Youguang said with a smile.
"Going to school?" The lady was astonished, "You’re still a student?"
"I’m not a student," Ning Youguang explained with a light laugh, "I’m a college professor."
"A college professor, huh? That’s wonderful, wonderful," the lady said with a smile, "Let’s add each other on WeChat. It’s rare to et by chance like this, and you’ve helped so much without accepting gifts or als, which makes feel unable to properly thank you. It doesn’t sit well with ."
"You’re friends with Yi Lan, so you must like art too. I also understand a bit about art, and there are quite a few paintings at ho. When you have so free ti, co over to my house, and I’ll show you my collection—Cézanne, Raphael, Zhang Daqian, we have them all!"
"Sure."
Ning Youguang pursed her lips, smiling so hard her stomach hurt, though it didn’t show on her fair and delicate face.
She took out her phone and showed her WeChat QR code to the lady, "Auntie, you can scan ."
"You Guang, what a nice na, it’s bright, sounds full of hope."
"Auntie, that’s my na, my real na."
"You Guang is your real na?" The aunt was surprised again, "That’s quite a unique na, not common at all."
"Yes."
The lady was overjoyed to have successfully added Ning Youguang’s QR code.
"Young lady, which school are you going to? I can have my driver give you a ride. Our car is in the underground parking lot at the World Trade Center."
"No need, my car is parked there too." Ning Youguang was holding her painting as she walked towards the World Trade Center.
"What a coincidence, we can go there together." The lady followed Ning Youguang with a cheerful smile, not in a hurry to leave at all, "Young lady, you have great skills, have you learned taekwondo?"
"No," Ning Youguang explained, "I learned martial arts."
"Martial arts?!" The lady looked surprised again, "Your family must be quite foresighted!"
Realizing her child was beautiful, they had her learn martial arts early on so she wouldn’t be bullied.
"Auntie, I need to rest for a while, you can go ahead if you’re in a hurry." After walking a bit, Ning Youguang’s leg started to ache more, so she sat down on the greenery next to the World Trade Center.
Her leg was injured earlier when battling a robber, having been kicked by the opponent.
When she was running to chase the painting, she had already noticed.
She thought she could endure it, but now that she slowed down, the pain got increasingly intense.
"Is the painting really heavy? I can help you carry it," the lady ca up behind Ning Youguang and helped lift a corner of the painting.
"It’s not the weight of the painting, it’s my leg that’s a bit uncomfortable, I just want to take a rest." Ning Youguang placed the painting beside her and squatted down to roll up her pants and check her calf. Sure enough, it was already bruised.
"Oh dear, your leg is hurt this badly," the lady exclaid with wide eyes, "I don’t even know if it’s fractured. Young lady, don’t walk anymore, I’ll go get soone to carry you, just wait here."
With that, she grabbed her bag and rushed off in her little high heels.
"Hey..." Ning Youguang looked up, wanting to call her back, only to find she had already run more than ten ters away.
When she was chasing the robber earlier, she hadn’t seen her run that fast.
...
Tranquil Center plaza.
Assistant Jin got out from the front passenger seat, walked to the back of the car, and opened the door for Shi Wangyue, "Boss, I’ve booked the Zhonghai Wanli Hotel on the sixth floor."
