As far as she knew, the book referred to the male protagonist's parents as "Jiang's Father" and "Jiang's Mother," and the main text didn't provide much information about them. Even the villain's son's biological father was just a background character.
It mainly tells the story of the love-hate entanglement between three people.
Hearing the familiar voice suddenly made her feel disoriented.
The best friend is the male lead's biological mother, her son is the villain, and the villain and the male lead are sworn enemies. What kind of melodramatic soap opera is this?
Shen Linyue has cracked open; will she still dare to acknowledge this best friend?
Oh, by the way, the person He Xiao beat up was most likely Jiang Zhixing.
"What's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?" He Xiao saw Shen Linyue's face change color and turn pale in an instant, and quickly grabbed her arm, afraid that she would faint in the next second.
Was she too weak from not eating? Or was she frightened when she heard it was Jiang Zhixing's mother?
Of the two possibilities, He Xiao immediately ruled out the former. He knew that Uncle Xiao would never let her go hungry at home; she still had a lingering strawberry scent on her.
"Are you scared when you hear I beat up Jiang Zhixing?" The boy's eyes were cold. "If you're scared, then you'd better leave. Anyway, there's no use in you coming here."
Hearing He Xiao's words, Shen Linyue also snapped out of her shock. Looking at the young man's cold and handsome face, she was speechless and amused.
"Who said I'm afraid? I'm here today to stand up for you. Like I said, I believe you wouldn't hit someone for no reason."
Shen Linyue, who is only 1.6 meters tall, exudes the aura of someone who is 2.8 meters tall.
The boy's long eyelashes trembled slightly. Looking at her, who was barely up to his shoulder, he couldn't help but secretly curl his tightly pursed lips into a smile. "Oh, I see the whorl on your head."
Shen Linyue: ? ? ?
"It's very impolite to stare at someone's head. Don't do it again!" Shen Linyue tilted her head up so he wouldn't see her head.
He Xiao was completely amused by her, and the boy's clear laughter echoed in the serious office.
Teacher Zhao: ...
housekeeper:?
Jiang Yanxin frowned and looked at He Xiao with a gloomy expression. This child's manners were becoming more and more worrying. He was laughing so loudly in front of the adults. He was hopeless.
Thinking of her son, who was still downstairs in the infirmary getting his wounds cleaned, Jiang Yanxin was also somewhat absent-minded.
"Is there CCTV footage at the basketball court? If we pull up the footage, we'll know the truth. I'll personally go to He Xiao's father to resolve this matter."
The butler maintained a subtle smile and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "If I were to convey your wishes to the master, it might take a few days, as he is currently on a business trip out of town."
Jiang Yan frowned and said unhappily, "Don't I know more about his affairs than you do? Do you need to interfere?"
How dare a servant speak to her like that?
The butler still had a smile on his face, but it was a little less pronounced: "You're right."
Shen Linyue had been secretly observing Jiang Yanxin. After all, this was not her original world. So much time had passed, and her future was still shrouded in mystery. Jiang Yanxin was no exception; she knew nothing about the present.
She naturally heard everything the butler said.
Even though she knew that people's personalities could change, she still couldn't help but be slightly surprised when she heard what she said.
She said she would check the surveillance footage, but she had already subconsciously decided that He Xiao was the one in the wrong, and even talked to He Xiao's father in person.
Huh? Are you two very close?
Faced with her former best friend, Shen Linyue still chose to protect her.
"Madam Jiang is joking. The surveillance footage will be checked. It's true that He Xiao was wrong to take action, but is it necessarily his fault?" She stepped forward confidently, a bright smile on her face.
The girl's clear voice reached everyone's ears. The moment Jiang Yanxin heard this voice, her heart skipped a beat, and a strange sense of unease filled her senses.
Jiang Yanxin suddenly turned her head. The girl in front of her still looked young and innocent, but her delicate eyebrows and eyes already showed her future beauty.
When the girl's face met the face buried deep in her memory, Jiang Yanxin's almond-shaped eyes widened, and her already pale face became even more bloodless.
He seemed to have seen something terrifying, yet he tried his best to suppress and restrain himself.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
She is definitely not Shen Linyue!
"Who are you?" Jiang Yanxin used all her strength to suppress her wildly beating heart.
She naturally didn't believe in metaphysics. The girl in front of her was so young, it couldn't possibly be her; they were just two people who looked too similar.
Shen Linyue hadn't expected Jiang Yanxin to have this expression. She thought Jiang Yanxin would recognize her immediately, her eyes would instantly turn red, and she would give her a trembling hug of reunion.
It shouldn't have come to this level of out-of-control questioning, right?
Shen Linyue pondered for a moment and replied with a smile, "I am He Xiao's aunt. My name is Lin Yue. Don't let my young age fool you; we are of the same generation according to seniority."
"Your surname is Lin? Are you a relative of Ah Xiao's maternal grandmother?"
If that's the case, it seems to make sense; they're relatives, so it's not impossible that they look alike.
It seemed that by comforting herself in this way, Jiang Yan's tense heart was able to relax.
“Yes, my surname is Lin, and my name is Lin Yue.” Shen Linyue repeated with a smile, but did not explain further to Jiang Yanxin. Instead, she looked at Teacher Zhao.
Perhaps because she wasn't old enough, she couldn't help but look serious and a little nervous when facing her homeroom teacher.
"Teacher Zhao, could you please check the surveillance footage?"
Teacher Zhao couldn't help but scrutinize the young girl. She was able to face Madam Jiang calmly without showing any fear. She was indeed a member of the He family and had confidence.
"Okay, it will take a few minutes to check the surveillance footage, please wait a moment, parents." Teacher Zhao said, feeling embarrassed.
He naturally favored Jiang Zhixing, after all, who doesn't love students? But the He family wasn't someone to be trifled with.
As the homeroom teacher, he was caught in the middle, which was really difficult.
He Xiao's gaze followed Shen Linyue the whole time, and she seemed to be glowing as she walked out.
This aunt, whom he'd only known for two days, seemed to have defended him many times already.
Although her words might not be very pleasing, she always protected him with her actions.
This feeling is unprecedented and quite novel.
In the past, no matter what he did, his father's assistant would come and solve the problem with money. He wouldn't say a word in defense of him, nor would he care whether he was right or wrong. After the problem was solved, he would leave without lingering.
So He Xiao got used to it and didn't have any expectations for this kind of scene until Lin Yue appeared.
He Xiao stared at Shen Linyue's back, his expression inscrutable. Was she really just his aunt with whom he shared a thin blood relationship?
But as far as blood ties are concerned, even his biological father has never treated him this seriously.
He slowly lowered his head, his whole being filled with loneliness.
Despite Jiang Yanxin's scrutiny, Shen Linyue remained expressionless. However, thinking of He Xiao, who was all alone behind her, she turned to look at him.
I saw him with his head hanging down like a big dog, exuding a sense of loneliness.
Shen Linyue: ?
Why are you unhappy again?
"The surveillance is working, Mrs. Jiang, Miss Lin... Miss Lin, please take a look."
