"Hey! My little darling Qianqian~" Qu Yan nonchalantly cast a charming glance at her.

His voice attracted the attention of passers-by.

Qu Qianqian was helpless. It was hard to tell her uncle had been a soldier. She opened the car door, got in the passenger seat, and asked, "Uncle, where are we going now?"

"Well... let's have a meal first, and then I'll take you to Jiuhong Shopping Mall to buy some clothes. There are candied haws for you in the back seat." Qu Yan said and drove off.

Seeing him so familiar with the route, without even needing to consult a navigation system, Qu Qianqian asked curiously, "Uncle, are you familiar with this place?"

Qu Yan hummed a song and said with a smile: "Didn't your dad tell you? I graduated from University A, how could I not be familiar with you?"

This was the first time Qu Qianqian knew about this.

Qu Yan brought her to a Chinese-style courtyard called Yixiang Courtyard. This courtyard was exquisitely decorated and did not look like a place for dining at all. Even the waitresses who passed by were young and beautiful ladies.

After Qu Yan spoke a few words to the receptionist, she led the two of them to a private room on the third floor.

"This place is so beautiful, it doesn't look like a place to eat at all." Qu Qianqian followed Qu Yan and exclaimed softly.

Yixiangting has three floors. The first floor is furnished with ordinary furniture, while the second and third floors are private rooms. The rooftop is also decorated as an open-air leisure area where people can play cards, mahjong, and drink tea. Every floor and every private room is decorated in a full Chinese style.

Qu Yan said: "There are really few people who come here just to eat. Most of them come here to discuss business. The decoration here is elegant and can subconsciously make people feel happy, making it easier to discuss cooperation."

It's true, more people come here to do business. The prices here are higher, it's harder to make reservations, and being here is a status symbol.

Qu Yan and Qu Qianqian came to a private room called Jingsha at the end of the corridor on the third floor. After taking a seat, Qu Yan ordered some dishes.

On the way, Qu Qianqian noticed that the names of the elegant rooms here also have a very ancient charm. For example, this room is called Jingsha, which means wind-blown sand. There are also Cuiwei, Cangyuan, Lingze, etc.

Although this room is at the end of the corridor, it is the quietest and few people pass by here. Looking down from the window is the backyard of Yixiang Courtyard, where there is a small bamboo plantation. Looking out further, you can also see Jiuhong Shopping Mall not far away.

Qu Yan poured a cup of tea and took a sip. He propped up his head and looked at Qu Qianqian, smiling, "How is life at A University? Are you adapting well?"

"It's okay. I've adapted quite well and my roommates are nice too," Qu Qianqian replied.

Qu Yan nodded with satisfaction, then suddenly raised his eyebrows, his smile becoming a bit more dangerous: "Are there any boys chasing you?"

Qu Qianqian was stunned for a moment before she said, "Of course not. We are all focused on studying!"

"real?"

"real!"

"Don't lie to me. I won't tell your dad."

Qu Qianqian was helpless: "Really not!"

Qu Yan finally believed it. While feeling relieved, he secretly complained that these brats had no taste. His niece was so beautiful, yet no one was pursuing her.

Looking at Qu Yan's expression, Qu Qianqian knew that he must be thinking about something weird again. She immediately interrupted his thoughts and talked to him about the situation of his company.

But Qu Yan never said what his company was called. He only mentioned some development status, which was currently doing well.

Just as the dishes were served, Qu Qianqian's phone suddenly vibrated several times. She opened it and saw that it was several messages from Jiang Qing. Several exclamation marks fully reflected her inner shock. At the end there was a link to the school forum and a Yuyin video.

Jiang Qing: Ahhhhhhhhhh baby, baby, something terrible has happened!!!!

Jiang Qing: I don’t know which son of a bitch edited this video, it’s outrageous!!! You were even secretly filmed when you went out this morning!!! Ahhhhhhhhh, I’m so pissed!

Jiang Qing: Let me go to the school group and ask if anyone has the original video from that day!!

Jiang Qing: [Link]

Jiang Qing: [Video]

When Qu Qianqian clicked on the link, she saw the title: A top student from University A is suspected of being kept by a rich second-generation man!

Also posted below was a photo of her this morning sitting in Qu Yan's red sports car, as well as a photo of her receiving an award in high school. The photo was a bit blurry, probably found online, and her face was blurred, but people who were familiar with Qu Qianqian would know it was her at a glance.

There were a lot of words written on the post, and the general meaning was that the reason why a female top student from University A won so many awards was probably because she was kept by a rich second-generation man, who used his connections to help her win these awards.

Qu Qianqian calmly read the post and clicked on the video.

The video shows Qu Qianqian extending her hand to introduce herself to Li Zhining at the hot pot restaurant, and then the camera switches to the scene where she got into Qu Yan's car this morning. This photo is exactly the same as the one in the post.

Of course, her and Li Zhining's faces in the video were blurred, and the text read: A top student from University A has won numerous awards and is suspected of being kept by a rich second-generation man.

Qu Yan, who was standing nearby, heard the noise and came over. When he saw the video, he was filled with murderous intent, which scared Qu Qianqian.

"Uncle, you... calm down..."

Although Qu Yan is usually nonchalant, he is still very scary when he gets serious.

Qu Yan took a few deep breaths, barely suppressing the urge to beat someone up, and asked Qu Qianqian to eat first.

After a quick meal, Qu Yan brought Qu Qianqian to Jiuhong Shopping Mall. He found a clothing store and threw Qu Qianqian inside. He casually took out a black card and said, "Buy whatever you want. Don't save money for me. I'll wait for you outside."

Then Qu Qianqian was surrounded by thousands of shop assistants and entered the store.

Qu Yan stood outside with his back against the railing and took out his cell phone to make a call.

"Yes, that video of the top student from University A being kept by a man. Find the original video that was edited and release a statement along with the photos I just sent you."

"That's it. Um... my brother and sister-in-law are censored, so their identities won't be revealed for now. Then I'll find out who posted the video and check the forums to see if there are any similar rumors. If there are, I'll post a statement."

"Yes, good, as soon as possible."

He didn't see the post sent by Jiang Qing, he only saw the video, so he didn't know that this matter was also being discussed on the forum.

After hanging up the phone, Qu Yan received another WeChat message from Ji Chengjin.

Arrogant Ji Chengjin: Do you know about your niece's affairs?
