Chapter 41: Entrusted by someone

Hearing the knock on the door, Jiang Jianfei turned his head and looked. The next moment, his eyes widened into copper bells, and his eyes were full of disbelief, "She...she is Ling Yao?" No way!

A woman who can catch the eye of his brother Lu must be a great beauty, and the Ling Yao in front of him is not only plain-looking, but also so fat. He must have made a mistake.

"Principal! Are you looking for me?" Ling Yao stopped three steps away from the principal.

The principal nodded, smiled and pointed at Jiang Jianfei beside him, "It's Mr. Jiang who is looking for you."

Ling Yao looked at Jiang Jianfei in confusion, "Excuse me, do you have something to do with me?" She was sure that she had never met the other party.

Jiang Jianfei cleared his throat, "I was asked to come and see you. Is there anything I can help you with?" Ling Yao's appearance was not outstanding, but her unique temperament made it hard to ignore.

Especially her eyes, which were as bright as stars and as clear as a lake, peaceful and deep. When you stare into her eyes, you can seem to see your own reflection, which makes people involuntarily attracted.

Ling Yao raised her eyebrows, "No, thank you!"

"Do you want to know who asked me to come here?" Jiang Jianfei saw that Ling Yao had a calm face, and he wanted to tease her. He wanted to see if Ling Yao's expression would change if she knew that he was Brother Lu's friend.

Ling Yao shook her head, "Thank him for me." She already had the answer in her mind. Jiang Jianfei spoke with a Beijing accent, and the only Beijing native she knew was Lu Qingyun.

Jiang Jianfei now understood why Lu Qingyun was so special to Ling Yao. Ling Yao was really different from other women. If it were another woman, even if he didn't say anything, they would break the casserole and ask until they got to the bottom of it.

Ling Yao looked at the principal, "Principal, if you don't have anything else, I'll go back to the classroom first."

The principal looked at Jiang Jianfei inquiringly.

"Can I talk to you alone?" Jiang Jianfei wanted to chat with Ling Yao for a while, get to know her better, and also wanted to know what she thought of Brother Lu.

"Okay, let's go to the river and talk." When they

arrived at the river, Ling Yao sat down on the grass by the river. A breeze blew past, lifting a few strands of hair behind her ears.

"Ling Yao, are you really not curious at all about who asked me to come here?" Jiang Jianfei sat down far away from Ling Yao and the others. I didn't expect it to be so comfortable to blow the wind by the river.

"There's nothing to be curious about." Ling Yao raised her hand and lifted the few strands of hair scattered on her forehead behind her ears. Her eyes fell on the two fish playing in the river, chasing each other in the water.

Their bodies are light and agile, like two elves dancing in the water, their tails swaying gently, like two small fans swaying in the water, as if dancing a beautiful waltz, their scales glittering in the sunlight, like two bright gems shining in the water.

Jiang Jianfei shrugged helplessly, "It's Brother Lu, that is, Lu Qingyun, he called me and asked me to take care of you." In fact, he can't stay in Yuncheng for much time, he will return to Beijing in a while.

That packaging factory was opened by him and a college classmate, because they studied art in college and were very interested in packaging design, so they invested in the packaging factory together.

"Yeah." Ling Yao nodded calmly.

Jiang Jianfei couldn't sit still anymore and jumped up from the ground, "That's Brother Lu, why do you have such an expression?" Brother Lu was like a god in his heart. Not to mention him, even among the younger generation, he was a role model.

And those girls, when they saw Brother Lu, it was just like a fly seeing Xiang, or a bee seeing a flower.

"What else?"

Jiang Jianfei stroked his forehead speechlessly, "I really admire you." He thought Ling Yao would be surprised and excited after knowing that it was Brother Lu.

Ling Yao looked down at her watch, stood up from the ground, and patted the grass debris on herself, "Thank Brother Lu for me, I don't need any help here. Mr. Jiang, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the classroom."

"Oh." Jiang Jianfei looked at Ling Yao's back as she left. The girl that Brother Lu cares about is indeed different from others.

Ling Yao returned home from school, walked into the infirmary, and saw that Ling Xuemei was not there, so she walked to the backyard, but did not see Ling Xuemei, "Mom! Mom, where are you?"

Seeing that no one responded, Ling Yao guessed that Ling Xuemei should have gone to see a doctor.

Putting down her schoolbag, she walked into the kitchen. Seeing the pot still steaming, Ling Yao went forward to open the lid and took out the food.

Just after finishing dinner, Ling Yao heard footsteps outside. She knew it was Ling Xuemei who came back, so she walked out, "Mom, you're back."

Ling Xuemei seemed not to hear, and was immersed in her own world.

Ling Yao noticed that something was wrong with Ling Xuemei. She walked forward and saw that Ling Xuemei's eyes were red, as if she had been crying. "Mom, who bullied you?"

Ling Xuemei only noticed Ling Yao at this time. She wiped her eyes in a panic and forced a smile. "No, no, don't think too much."

"Mom, don't hide it from me. What's going on?" Ling Xuemei always looked absent-minded these days. Several times, she almost prescribed the wrong medicine. She asked her several times, and she said it was okay.

Ling Xuemei looked away, not daring to look Ling Yao in the eye. "It's really okay. It's just that sand blew into my eyes when I came back."

"Mom, tell me the truth." Ling Yao stared into Ling Xuemei's eyes.

Ling Xuemei struggled for a long time before she slowly said, "Yaoyao, let's leave here." The man gave her a deadline, telling her to leave the village within a week, otherwise he would treat her and her daughter rudely. She didn't know who the other person was, but she couldn't let Yaoyao get hurt.

"Did someone threaten you?" Ling Yao knew she was threatened as soon as she saw Ling Xuemei's expression.

"Yaoyao, don't ask anymore, let's move, we can't beat them." Ling Xuemei couldn't help crying anymore. Ten years ago, she was forced to move to the next village with Yaoyao, but she didn't expect that the other person was still unwilling to let her and her daughter go.

Ling Yao reached out and hugged Ling Xuemei, feeling her body trembling slightly, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes, "We will look for a house tomorrow." As for the man who threatened her mother, one day, she would let him know that he could not bully her and her mother. She was too weak now and was not his opponent.

The old man was playing chess and suddenly shuddered. He stopped what he was doing and frowned slightly.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" The middle-aged man opposite him looked up at him.
