Chapter 95: The Beloved Little Cousin 12

It's winter again, the first snow has fallen, and Mingzhu No. 1 Middle School is only a few days away from winter vacation.

The campus, which had been baptized by wind and snow, was now covered in white. The fallen snow piled up on the ground. A curious student built a snowman in the open space and wore a striped scarf around his neck.

The girl sitting by the window looked at the round snowman outside the window, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth, making several students in the classroom who were secretly watching her look dazed.

Nan Qiao's deskmate was a little girl with a round face. Her face was flushed at this moment. While packing her things, her eyes were looking to the side, extending an earnest invitation.

"Qiao Qiao, do you like snowmen? How about we go out and build one later?"

Nan Qiao came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head: "No, it's too cold outside."

Although she likes snow, she also knows her physical condition. If she catches a cold and fever because of making a snowman, it will not be worth it.

Despite being rejected, the round-faced girl was not disappointed. She came forward with great energy and said, "Then let's go eat together later."

Nan Qiao accepted the invitation with a smile. Considering her health condition, the meals she ate on weekdays were delivered from the old house and prepared by a special nutritionist.

She used to be used to being alone, but after enjoying the company of her family and friends, she is no longer used to being alone.

So every time the Xu family delivered food, she always liked to eat with her classmates.

The round-faced girl felt like she was almost drunk by her deskmate's beautiful smile. When she saw that Nan Qiao agreed, she could hardly hide the happiness in her heart.

Sure enough, what the horoscope book said was right.

This week is indeed my lucky week. Not only did I change seats with my goddess when we changed desks on Monday, but I also had the opportunity to have lunch with her!

The round-faced little girl was in high spirits, and when she noticed the envious glances coming from all around her, she was even happier.

Ring ring ring.

The bell rang, signaling break time. Although Mingzhu No. 1 High School enrolled mostly second-generation students, its schedule wasn't much different from other public high schools.

There are four classes in the morning, each lasting 45 minutes, with a 10-minute break between classes. By this time, the third class has already ended.

During every break, the corridor outside the senior high school liberal arts class 1 is crowded with people. They stand outside the window and peek into the classroom just to catch a glimpse of that heart-warming figure.

Even though the situation improved slightly after he was severely criticized by the head teacher for delaying his classmates' walking, he would act cute again after a few days.

The ten minutes between classes passed in the blink of an eye, and just as I flipped through a few pages of the textbook, the bell rang again.

Nan Qiao took out the textbook as instructed by the teacher and glanced out the window inadvertently. She was slightly stunned and her hand, which was flipping through the textbook, stopped.

I saw that there were several more snowmen on the open space where there was originally only one snowman.

The snowmen were wearing colorful scarves, with carrots from nowhere stuck on their faces as noses, and withered black branches stuck on both sides of their bodies as hands...

After class, the Xu family's servant who was responsible for delivering meals arrived. Nan Qiao took the lunch box from the other person and thanked him.

The meal was delivered by a young maid. In order to deliver the meal on time, she came in the Xu family's car, so she did not suffer from the cold along the way.

Not only is he not tired, but he also gets to meet his beautiful cousin, so delivering meals has always been the most sought-after job in the Xu family.

The thickly dressed maid blushed and waved her hands in panic. Thinking of what she heard when she passed by the living room today, the maid raised her eyes cautiously, looked at the girl in front of her, and said hesitantly:

"Cousin, Mr. Xue is visiting today and seems to be looking for..."

Mr. Xue?

The girl was slightly stunned, but soon she remembered who Mr. Xue was.

Is it Xue Hao who appears in front of him every now and then and is at odds with his eldest cousin?

The maid continued, "...it seems she wants to marry into the Xu family."

Marriage?

Nan Qiao had been at the Xu family for almost a year and was no stranger to the term "marriage alliance." To maintain prosperity, upper-class families often intermarried with families of comparable status to ensure close partnerships.

However, marriages have always occurred between two families with relatively good relations. How could there be a marriage between Xue Hao and her eldest cousin when they were so hostile to each other?

The girl frowned slightly, a little puzzled: "Then who is he asking to marry?"

Could it be my second cousin?

The maid paused, raised her head and looked at the girl, stumbling over her words, "He's asking to marry you, my cousin..."

Propose to marry her?

Nan Qiao opened her eyes slightly, a look of disbelief emerging in her eyes.

She still has a month to go before she becomes an adult.

She was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Does my uncle agree?"

Although my uncle no longer has any say in the Xu family, he is still the head of the Xu family. Moreover, my eldest cousin has gone abroad to handle matters, so my uncle is the only one who can make the decisions in the Xu family.

The maid shook her head quickly.

The head of the family naturally did not agree. She was paying attention when serving tea. If she had not maintained the demeanor of an elder, she would have taken out a broom to chase people away.

Nan Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you for telling me the news."

Although it was winter, the maid felt the heat rising to her face. The girl's smiling face was right in front of her, and she waved her hands in panic again.

The girl carried her lunch box and walked to the cafeteria under everyone's gaze. She had lunch with her friends and returned to the dormitory.

She had a dormitory at school, a single room, but her eldest cousin arranged for her to attend school as a day student. She usually only rested in the dormitory at noon and took the bus back to Xu's house in the evening.

She has always had a regular schedule and usually needs to take a half-hour nap at noon to ensure she is in good spirits in the afternoon. However, because of the news told by the maid, she lay on her back on the soft bed but felt no sleepiness at all.

The girl took out her cell phone, opened the social software, clicked on her cousin's social account, and after hesitating, sent a message.

Qiao Qiao: Cousin, when will you come back?

Cousin: I’ll be back this weekend. What’s wrong? Qiao Qiao misses you, cousin?

Cousin: Also, if I remember correctly, it should be nap time now.

The room was heated, and the girl covered herself with a thin blanket. When she saw the message, she covered herself with the blanket feeling a little guilty.

Qiao Qiao: I can’t sleep.

My cousin replied immediately: Playing with the phone makes it even harder to fall asleep. Even if you can’t fall asleep, just close your eyes and rest for a while.

Cousin: Be good, I will be back soon and bring you a gift.

Xu Congnan accommodates Nan Qiao in everything, but never compromises on her health.

Qiao Qiao: Okay, then I’ll take a rest first.

Cousin: Yeah, go ahead.

Nan Qiao put down her phone, hugged the pillow and closed her eyes, thinking that she still couldn't fall asleep. Unexpectedly, she fell into a sweet dream soon after closing her eyes.

At this time, far away on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, the man who was persuading Nan Qiao to take a nap was listening to a group of subordinates reporting on the project in a cold voice.

Over the past year, Xu Congnan seemed to have completely taken control of the entire Xu family. The higher his authority, the greater his aura. When he was dissatisfied, his cold expression was enough to frighten a worldly-wise, nearly forty-year-old leader of the M Country project team.

Fortunately, after receiving the message from someone unknown, the person in power seemed to be in a much better mood, and even his aura eased a little, which made many people feel relieved.

This person's good mood lasted until the end of the meeting. After all the proposals were reported, he pointed out the points of dissatisfaction in a gentle tone, ordered all departments to make adjustments as soon as possible, and then left the meeting room.

Compared to the big devil with a smiling face before, he is so amiable.

This anomaly was also noticed by several project leaders in Country M. Their eyes lit up and they subconsciously wanted to know the reason for this change in their president.

If you want to understand the emperor's affairs, the best way is to find out from his close ministers.

They soon targeted the president's special assistant.

It's a pity that those who can become the emperor's close ministers are not cannon fodder with too much talk. The special assistant smiled modestly.

Not sure,

I don't understand.

It is not convenient to discuss, and we have refused visits from all interested parties.

After dealing with a group of people, the special assistant returned to the office and saw that his president had a rare gloomy look on his face. His heart trembled, knowing that he had already read what he had just sent to his mailbox.

As the president's special assistant, he naturally knows more than others.

He knew that the beautiful cousin of the Xu family was not Miss Xu's biological daughter, but a child adopted from an orphanage.

He also knows...

The gentle and graceful Xu family leader in front of him regarded that girl as his own...

Just like the pearl on the lips of an evil beast, the pearl is precious, guarded by the beast's fangs, and cherished like a treasure. Any covetous person who crosses the line will be devoured by the beast mercilessly...

"Xue Hao, you have business here too, right?" A faint voice came from the desk, and the special assistant lowered his head even more.

"Yes, President, Shengshi Office did start business in Country M half a year ago, and most of them belong to..."

It's not easy to be a special assistant. In a short time, he finished listing the business that Shengshi had carried out in Country M.

Xu Congnan's face was hidden in the flickering light. He turned the Buddhist beads on his wrist with one hand. The beads were brown and black in color, and it was impossible to tell what material they were made of. They were strung with a red rope and looked very ordinary.

This was something Nan Qiao had asked for at a nearby temple when she left him for an outing for the first time. He had always treasured it like a treasure and wore it all day long.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Buddhist nature he possessed, he could not suppress the sharp evil thoughts in Xu Congnan's heart.

His girl is coming of age.

There are more and more people with active minds.

Xu Congnan's eyes were dark, and his bony fingers were kneading the beads on the Buddhist prayer beads. He curled his lips and said, "Since Xue Hao is so idle, let's get him busy."

Although Shengshi is developing rapidly, it is not a problem for the old family enterprises to create a few obstacles.

The special assistant agreed and was about to go out to give instructions, but he saw that his boss seemed to remember something, his expression turned from gloomy to bright, and his voice became several degrees warmer.

"I remember I received an invitation to the auction tonight. Please make arrangements. I will go there tonight."

He promised to bring a gift to his little girl, and he would not break his promise even if he was angry.

The author has something to say:

I have a fever that keeps coming back! My dear children, please take precautions. It is really uncomfortable to be sick.

Please prepay!!
