"One year?" Taotao seed a bit worried, "How much money did you borrow from him?"
With the surgery fees and so many supplies, it must be a considerable amount of money, right?
"I only borrowed the surgery fee for Xiao Lian, and as for those supplies, he donated them out of kindness, so don’t worry."
Xia Yinian reassured her with a smile and a pat on the shoulder, "It’s okay, Young Master Ling is a good person."
Taotao looked towards the figure in the distance, the uniquely charming man did indeed seem elegantly gentle.
"Then, your relationship with him..." Taotao blinked, suddenly puzzled again, "That’s not right, the Gu Family... and... Seventh Young Master..."
"Shh!" Xia Yinian was afraid that Taotao might accidentally blurt out that she had known the Seventh Young Master for a long ti.
With so many people around, who knows if soone might overhear?
"I... didn’t know Uncle before," she insisted, signaling Taotao with her eyes, "But, Uncle is quite fierce, we better not bother him without reason."
"Seventh Young Master is Young Master Ling’s uncle?" Taotao was sowhat confused, but she took the hint from Xia Yinian to heart.
"Uh-huh." Xia Yinian didn’t want to continue this topic and changed the subject: "Taotao, how are you doing now? Still at Chaoxing?"
"What else can I do? I have to earn my tuition for next sester!"
It’s indeed tough working at Chaoxing, but there’s no other choice.
Xia Yinian’s eyes drooped, suddenly feeling ashad.
These past few days, she really had been busy dealing with Gu Beicheng and Gu Lingqian, the uncle and nephew, as for earning money from work...
With university starting soon, what about living expenses and tuition?
"Taotao, hurry up and get to work, you’re slacking off again," soone called from across the way.
"Alright, I’m coming." Taotao replied and quickly glanced back at Xia Yinian.
"Once I’m done, let’s go eat street food together, there’s a lot on the roundabout."
"Don’t forget to call later, I haven’t changed my number, and don’t disappear without a word again, wait for later!"
"Okay." Xia Yinian watched her leave.
Seeing Taotao’s bustling figure, Xia Yinian felt ashad again.
Compared to Taotao’s diligence, she felt like a complete freeloader.
No, she had to start being busy as well, striving to earn money to support herself and the orphanage children!
..."Your friend left?" Gu Lingqian moved with a stride that was indescribably attractive.
"Uh-huh, I’m going to have street food with her later, don’t wait for to eat, I’ll eat on the roundabout."
"There’s gourt food on the cruise, you’re not coming back?" Gu Lingqian frowned, those street stalls outside, not clean.
"I’m tired of it." Xia Yinian shook her head.
Gu Lingqian didn’t say anything else, just took out his wallet from his pocket and casually handed her a few banknotes.
Xia Yinian felt like she had truly beco a freeloader, even for eating so snacks, the money was given by soone else.
But, she really hadn’t brought any money...
...
It was getting dark, and Xia Yinian still hadn’t returned.
On the ship, the girls of course didn’t care, but a few people had continuously unpleasant expressions.
"Mr. Ling, we checked the roundabout and didn’t see Miss Niannian," reported Nan Shen, rushing back with a hint of anxiety.
Gu Lingqian had yet to decide on his next move when Chi He arrived: "Young Master Ling, Seventh Young Master invites you to dine together."
"You" referred of course to Gu Lingqian and Xia Yinian, but now the question was, where was Xia Yinian?
Gu Lingqian hesitated, then said, "Niannian hasn’t co back yet."
