Wan Qiqi raised an eyebrow and scrutinized the man for a while longer.

Xinglong Restaurant had not yet officially opened, and apart from the restaurant's employees, only a few close friends and family members knew that she was the manager of the restaurant.

The fact that this person changed his form of address immediately proves that his relationship with Wan Ziyan in the academy must have been quite good.

But why hadn't she seen this person before?

"Manager Wan, was your son's name chosen by Master Wan?" Duan Shuhong asked.

Wan Qiqi nodded. "It's him."

"No wonder, no wonder... Listening to the child's explanation, he must have been taught by someone and should already be able to read!"

Wan Qiqi looked surprised.

Is it possible to tell from that?

Just then, voices came from behind.

"Make way, make way..."

A woman wearing patched clothes led a child in.

Wan Qiqi looked closely and realized that it was Aunt Wu and Wu Choudan.

Aunt Wu also noticed Wan Qiqi, and a fawning smile immediately appeared on her face. "Oh my, isn't this Qiqi? What a coincidence! Where's your Pingping? Has he already gone inside?"

She spoke loudly, which startled the people watching the children nearby.

Duan Shuhong frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled as to how such a person could be acquainted with Wan Qiqi.

"Is this the teacher registering students? This is my son, Wu Choudan, here to register for school." Aunt Wu chuckled twice, then added, "My son and Qiqi's son have been best friends since they were little, so how about we put them in the same class?"

Duan Shuhong looked unwell as he registered Aunt Wu's children. "There's only one class of newly enrolled children..."

Wan Qiqi looked at Aunt Wu intently, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

According to her calculations, it would be quite difficult for Aunt Wu to raise enough money for tuition.

But the other person's smiling face clearly indicated that they were not being mistreated.

Moreover, Aunt Wu's attitude towards me has changed. Could this be related to me?

After Aunt Wu finished registering Wu Choudan, she immediately went to Wan Qiqi's side and said, "Qiqi, I misunderstood you! If it weren't for the money you gave Gousheng, Choudan might not have made it to school today. You are our family's lucky star!"

Wan Qiqi: "..."

She was certain that she hadn't given Wu Gousheng any money.

There is only one truth.

Wu Gousheng borrowed money from someone!
