However, from her previous phone calls with Shang Ruqi, she still felt that things weren’t that simple.
In the afternoon, Qiann Yan bid farewell to the two amiable elders and returned to Shang Ruqi’s apartnt to cultivate.
There are still many doubts at the mont; it’s impossible to figure everything out at once, but she’s not in a hurry.
The next day, Qiann Yan decided to go see her grandmother, Xu Hongying.
The original owner’s grandfather had passed away many years ago. Xu Hongying also lived in this city, albeit a bit farther away, about an hour and a half’s journey.
Currently, Xu Hongying was living with her youngest son, the original owner’s uncle, Xia Ming, helping to take care of the original owner’s cousin, Xia Xin.
Xia Xin was a bit younger than her, about to enter the ninth grade.
In the original owner’s mory, Xia Xin was a very annoying child who often used their grandmother Xu Hongying’s favoritism to oppress her and cause her trouble in various ways.
And Xu Hongying was unreasonably biased towards Xia Xin, openly scolding the original owner as a money-waster, declaring that she wasn’t even worthy to tie the shoelaces of her precious grandson. In any case, both of them were quite nasty.
Qiann Yan pressed the doorbell. When the door opened, she saw a boy of about fourteen or fifteen. Seeing her, he greeted warmly, "Sister Yan Yan," Xia Xin shouted happily inside, "Grandma, Sister Yan Yan is here."
"Sister Yan Yan, co in!" Xia Xin handed her slippers with great enthusiasm, whispering, "Now that you’re here, I’m free. With you accompanying Grandma, I can go out and play. My friends have already been asking for several tis."
Qiann Yan asked nonchalantly, "Grandma doesn’t want you to go out and play?"
"Not really, it’s just that with Mom and Dad recently on business trips, every ti I go out, Grandma walks to the door with such a pitiful look. How can anyone have fun?"
Qiann Yan’s gaze was complicated. So that’s how it was.
"Sister Yan Yan, how many days are you planning to stay?" Xia Xin asked expectantly, "I’ll let you play all my gas if you stay longer."
Qiann Yan remained indifferent, "I’ll leave this afternoon."
Xia Xin’s face fell, "Oh no, oh no, oh no!"
Qiann Yan pushed past him and went inside, greeted by a small, slightly hunched old lady. This was the original owner’s grandmother, Xu Hongying, holding a fruit platter filled with various fruits.
"Yanyan, co and eat."
Xu Hongying was very enthusiastic, no less than Shang Shilong and Luu Yueefang had been yesterday.
Qiann Yan had genuinely experienced in the past two days what it felt like to be paid attention to by family. These people were all very friendly, sotis overly enthusiastic, but she could tell that it ca from the heart.
Actually, after spending so ti with them, they weren’t perfect; the more disliked ones might find them annoying.
Yet in dealing with the younger generation, they were always patient, eager to share everything they’d cherished for so long.
Qiann Yan said she would leave in the afternoon, and she truly did.
No matter how much Xia Xin called her, she had no intention of staying. Currently, she had important matters to attend to and couldn’t spare the ti to be here, maybe in the future.
This ti, back at Shang Ruqi’s place, Qiann Yan had no intention of going out again.
In the original owner’s mory, most of the relatives who had hurt her had been visited and were completely different from her mories.
Now, she only needed to cultivate while waiting for Shang Ruqi to return.
She waited through the entire holiday, school had started, and Shang Ruqi hadn’t co back yet.
The other party communicated with her that the project in hand wasn’t finished, estimating that it would take a while.
Qiann Yan wasn’t in a hurry, going to school step by step.
The original owner’s grades were decent, though she wasn’t among the best. She hadn’t made it into the key experintal class because Shang Ruoya had plans for her to study abroad, so she enrolled in the international class.
On the first day, she was a bit late.
Only two seats left, under the teacher’s guidance, she walked over and sat down.
Her deskmate arrived on the second day, with a decent appearance, but she heard people around her whispering that he was a slacker; the highest score among all subjects was only eighteen points. He got in by donating a building to the school.
"Hello everyone, I’m Wuh Huai."
Qiann Yan’s eyebrows moved slightly, Wuh Huai?
Thinking about him being a slacker, with a highest score of just eighteen points, she was no longer interested.
