"Cousin? You really know how to make things up. Will she tell everyone? I don't want to be the center of attention..." Bai Xiaoruo was a little surprised. The industries that Xuan Mingyu was involved in were too wide. She thought that as a president, he would just spend his days signing documents in the office and directing his subordinates. She didn't expect that he would also invest in the construction of their school. As his wife, she had only just found out.

If it's the school board member... does that mean she'll run into him a lot more often at school from now on?

"Don't worry, I have my own methods. Even if a knife is held to her throat, she won't dare to spread rumors."

Hopefully, Bai Xiaoruo only hopes that she can spend her four years of college life simply, without becoming a celebrity or attracting any controversy.

......

"Teacher, I'll head back now."

"Okay, thank you for making this trip."

Ji Ziqian made a special trip back to school today to submit some materials.

The building across from the other building faced each other. Ji Ziqian had just come out of his teacher's office when a familiar figure in the corridor of the opposite building immediately caught his eye.

Ji Ziqian stopped in his tracks, quickly walked behind a pillar to the side, and hid, afraid of being seen by people in the opposite corridor.

He turned slightly to the side, his gaze fixed on the two people in the opposite building's corridor.

Shouldn't Xiaoru be in class at this time? Why is she lingering in the corridor?

She was talking to the man next to her, but they were too far apart to hear each other.

The more Ji Ziqian looked at the man, the more familiar he seemed. He felt like he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.

Where have I seen this before...?

etc!

He remembered! This man... wasn't he the man they saw in the restaurant corridor last night? Ji Ziqian couldn't remember his name, nor did he think much of it, but if last night was the first time Bai Xiaoruo and he had met, how come they were talking as soon as they met today? And they seemed to have a very good relationship?

Could it be that they actually knew each other all along?

Ji Ziqian suddenly thought of the strange phenomena that had appeared around Bai Xiaoruo in the past few months: luxury cars, designer clothes and bags, chauffeured around by a personal chauffeur, and even moving out of the Bai family home... This man, both times they met, was dressed in a suit and tie. Aside from his disheveled appearance last night with bloodstains on his forehead and face, his refined and cultured appearance, and the fact that he didn't look his age, made Ji Ziqian feel that his appearance wasn't so simple...

Could it be that he is the friend Bai Xiaoruo mentioned? Is the place she lives in now, and everything she owns, also related to this man?
