The person sitting in the car looks like... his devilish uncle!

Does Qiao Wanwan know her uncle?

How could that be!

Zhan Yin hurriedly took out his phone and made a call, "I think I saw my uncle... Really, you should check it out quickly, if he returns to the country, the capital is going to change drastically!"

......

Qiao Wanwan got into the car, grabbed the man's arm, and excitedly asked, "Zhan Jingting, guess what I just did?"

Seeing her smiling face, Zhan Jingting's mood improved a bit. "What's making you so happy?"

"Let me ask you first, why are you paying for my bill? I only needed to spend three thousand yuan."

Zhan Jingting looked at her and said, "You need to learn these social skills and etiquette. There's no need to be stingy with money."

“But my mentor didn’t come to dinner tonight. Gu Xulin and Qiao Yuqi came instead. But I wasn’t planning on treating them to dinner. I got the money back. Aren’t I amazing?” Qiao Wanwan had a pleading look on her face.

"Impressive." The man reached out and ruffled her hair. "So now you're full and don't have room for me to eat anymore, is that right?"

"I'll eat with you, but I really can't eat anymore, so I'll just watch you eat."

"good."

“Oh right,” Qiao Wanwan suddenly remembered something, “I forgot to ask before yesterday, you paid my tuition, right?”

"I had Jiang Dong hand it over." Zhan Jingting took the card out of his pocket. "Keep it safe, and don't give it back to me again."

Qiao Wanwan hesitated for a moment.

She was willing to open her heart and give Zhan Jingting a chance, as well as herself and love, but that didn't mean she was willing to accept his gifts with her palm facing upwards.

Zhan Jingting noticed her hesitation, and his fingertips stiffened. "What's wrong? Don't you want it?"

"Hmm." Qiao Wanwan said truthfully, "Zhan Jingting, as I said before, we should be honest with each other, so I won't hide anything from you. I'm staying at your house, eating and drinking your food, and I actually feel uncomfortable and embarrassed."

“I keep telling myself that we are a couple and there is no need to be pretentious. In addition, I am not capable enough right now, so even if I wanted to share living expenses with you, I couldn’t.”

"But that doesn't mean I feel guilty. I was taught from a young age that I can't take other people's kindness for granted. So I don't want your black card. Although I know you're rich, it's not my money. I'd feel guilty spending it. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Wanwan, your values ​​are very sound." Zhan Jingting frowned. "But who taught you these principles?"

He didn't think a selfish thief could teach her these things.

“He is my master.” Qiao Wanwan smiled. “After I was taken back to the countryside by Qiao Yuqi’s parents, they didn’t care much about my life or death, which caused me to be underdeveloped and weak. Fortunately, there was an old Chinese medicine doctor in the village who took pity on me and took me home to raise me. My health improved when I was three years old.”

"Is this old Chinese medicine doctor your master, the one who taught you medicine?"

"Well, later, Qiao Yuqi's mother gave birth to Zaozao, and she couldn't make ends meet, so she ran away. That thief was always out stealing chickens and dogs and was never home. He would steal things and then go to the gambling table. Occasionally he would come back and beat me to vent his anger. It was my master who protected me time and time again, otherwise I would have been beaten to death long ago."

Zhan Jingting patted her head. "So all these principles were taught to you by your master?"

"Yes, he taught me to read and write, and sent me to school. He raised both Zaozao and me."

"What about him? He raised you, and I'm willing to treat him like an elder."

The light in Qiao Wanwan's eyes dimmed instantly. "My master is gone."

"What do you mean 'gone'?" Zhan Jingting frowned. "Passed away?"

"I don't know. In the first year after I was taken back by the Qiao family, my master came to the capital to treat people's illnesses and never came back. I have limited abilities and have no way to find him."

"So when the Qiao family came to pick me up, I came to the capital without hesitation. On the one hand, I longed for family, and on the other hand, I wanted to find my master."

"You still haven't found it?"

"Yes, I've been secretly inquiring, but there's been no news."

"Give me his information, and I'll look for him."

Qiao Wanwan gently shook her head, "No need."

"Why?"

“Because my master once said that if he disappeared one day, I was not allowed to look for him. There must be a reason why my master said such a thing. If I secretly inquired, I would have already disobeyed his instructions. I didn’t want to make a big fuss.”

“I understand, I won’t force you.” Zhan Jingting hugged her. “And Wanwan, I’m glad you’re willing to tell me these things.”

Qiao Wanwan also found it strange. She was not someone who was used to confiding in others. Even Qiao Shengguo and Liu Yaqin did not know about these things, but today she couldn't help but tell Zhan Jingting about them.

"So Zhan Jingting, can you please stop giving me cards? If I become a canary that you have to keep, I will look down on myself, and it will also go against the principle of self-reliance and self-improvement that my master taught me."

"Keep the card with you, whether you spend it or not is up to you, but it might come in handy in case of an emergency."

"Oh well."

......

When the two returned home, Qiao Wanwan kept her word and sat at the dining table watching the man eat.

Zhan Jingting had excellent table manners, clearly showing he had received a good upbringing, yet it didn't seem forced; his refined elegance seemed innate.

Qiao Wanwan rested her chin on her hands, quietly admiring his stunning good looks.

Zhan Jingting couldn't help but glance at her. "Mrs. Zhan, am I pretty?"
