Bian Xiaohong’s heart raced a little, but she knew she couldn’t afford to ss with this man.
Compared to Instructor Yan, who could offer her tangible benefits and perks, the man under the parasol tree was a bit out of reach.
He might even bring about disastrous consequences if things went wrong.
Forget it, better not get involved.
She forcibly restrained herself and turned her face away.
Sun Yunyun, on the other hand, kept her eyes fixed on the man. Others might not recognize him, but she did. Wasn’t this Nangong Mo?!
Why is the Fourth Master here at the university?
Of course, she knew Nangong Mo didn’t think much of her, but establishing so connection would be nice. Who knows, it might co in handy in the future.
"Fourth Master! It’s been a long ti. What brings you here today? Are you visiting the younger mbers of the Nangong Family?" Sun Yunyun smiled and made small talk with the man under the parasol tree.
Little did she know.
The man’s gaze was stingy; he didn’t even glance in her direction and couldn’t be bothered to say "Who are you?" Instead, he raised his sharply defined chin, squinted his long eyes, and listened to his subordinate’s report:
"Fourth Master, I checked. Miss Xi’s paleontology departnt has indeed rged with the female students in the dical College for training. As for why she isn’t here... ahem, her classmate said she might have gone to the restroom! Should I find a girl to check the bathroom?"
Nangong Mo’s lips curled into a cold smile: "By the ti you find her, that would be a cold issue."
Subordinate: "..." Fourth Master has a sharp tongue!
Sun Yunyun felt a pang in her heart.
The Fourth Master is here to find that girl from the countryside, Xi Zuzi?
Realizing this made her feel uneasy all over.
But what was worse, she realized an even more heartbreaking fact imdiately afterward—Xi Zuzi disappeared halfway through playing her music. Could it be because she knew Nangong Mo was coming and didn’t want to see him, so she left?
The man that other girls longed to befriend, to Xi Zuzi, was soone to avoid, soone with no value at all... what could be more heart-wrenching than that?
Even if she won first place in the song competition today, what was there to be proud of?
Xi Zuzi clearly didn’t care about this man, nor did she care about being first.
She just left when she wanted to.
Heartbreak MAX !
With Xi Zuzi absent, Nangong Mo didn’t stay long either.
As he walked out of the school gate, he suddenly, out of the blue, asked his subordinate, "What were you going to report just now?"
The subordinate was taken aback: "Fourth Master, do you an the part where I wanted to find a girl to check if Miss Xi was in the restroom?"
"No. The one before that." Nangong Mo’s tone held a bit of impatience.
The subordinate racked his brain and finally rembered the unfinished report before they left the door: "It’s about Young Master Bai being called away by Bao Gucheng?"
Nangong Mo’s eyes darkened slightly: "Bao Gucheng? Why didn’t you ntion it earlier?"
The subordinate wore a troubled expression: "..." Master, you didn’t let say it earlier! You were solely focused on finding Miss Xi and didn’t care about Mr. Bai’s matter, did you forget?
But with the master questioning, he had no choice but to answer.
"To answer Fourth Master, I heard that Bao Gucheng secretly stayed in Qingcheng for a few days this ti. Unfortunately, the remains he was looking for were not found, and there are rumors he was almost buried by a landslide. But it is just a rumor; in fact, he ca back intact and even eloquently persuaded the Old President’s family to have surgery. Today, Mr. Bai was called by his people to join the surgical expert group to gain so credentials..."
Nangong Mo listened with a cold expression, a cold smile escaping his lips: "Heh, Bao Gucheng... actually ca back intact. As expected, his ti hasn’t arrived yet; he can still barely survive a few more days..."
