"Pah! Old Huang, you're over fifty years old, and you're still so disrespectful to your age. Why are you taking advantage of that young girl?"
"Old Liu, you're just being a sour grapes. I'm just stating the facts, Principal Su. Tell me, am I right?"
“Theoretically speaking, that is indeed the case.” Even Su Zhilan couldn’t refute this point; she did indeed graduate from Kyoto University.
"See, even Principal Su said so. Come on, let me help you put your luggage away."
"No need, Professor Huang, I can do it myself."
"Hey, give it to me. Don't let my age fool you, I exercise every morning. You young people might not even be as healthy as me!"
"Professor Huang, my suitcase isn't heavy."
Su Zhilan tugged at Liu Qingmeng and gave her a meaningful look.
"That's right. Get in the car and wait. You still have two senior students who haven't arrived yet. We'll set off once everyone is here."
"Thank you, Professor Huang."
After thanking her, Liu Qingmeng boarded the school bus.
"Wow! School Beauty Liu, it really is you! You're participating in this competition too!"
Liu Qingmeng saw that there were several boys sitting on the bus, nodded slightly, and then found an empty seat to sit down.
"She's so beautiful! I wonder if Liu, the junior, has a boyfriend."
"I've heard that there might be someone, but I don't know who it is."
"I heard that's all a rumor! I wonder what kind of boy School Beauty Liu likes."
After sitting down, Liu Qingmeng took out her earphones and plugged them in. She had absolutely no interest in the pointless chatter the boys were having.
"Shh, stop talking. Didn't you see? Junior Liu is already getting impatient and has put on her headphones."
"Sigh, School Beauty Liu is too aloof. She's beautiful, but it's a pity she looks down on us mere mortals."
"I heard that Xiao Tong from our Economics and Management Department will also be coming this time."
"Xiao Tong? Is that the most handsome guy in the Economics and Management Department, the senior Xiao Tong from a particularly wealthy family?"
"Yeah, do you think School Beauty Liu would be interested in Xiao Tong?"
"Who knows? Maybe those two really are a possibility."
"Yeah, shh, it looks like Xiao Tong is here, let's not talk about it yet."
"Xiao Tong, you're here. Get in the car quickly."
"Hello, Professor Huang and Professor Liu. I didn't expect you to be leading the team this time."
"Yes, I really didn't expect you to come back to participate in the competition this time, Xiao Tong. Whether our Peking University can win the championship depends on you. I heard that you have taken over the family company."
"Yes, my father put me in charge of some of the family's small businesses."
"Haha, you're so modest. I heard you just took over your family's company and the first quarter's revenue increased by 10%. You truly deserve to be the top student in our business administration department."
"You flatter me. Principal Su, you're here too."
"Okay, get in the car."
"Okay, Principal Su."
Everyone had arrived, and Su Zhilan and Professor Huang also got into the car.
Xiao Tong saw Liu Qingmeng as soon as he got into the car.
"Wow, boss, that's awesome! This must be the person you were looking for."
Shh, don't talk.
"Senior Xiao Tong, I didn't expect you to come!" The other passengers on the bus greeted him.
"Hello everyone, it is my honor to be able to contribute to the school as I am about to graduate."
"Good! Well said! Hahaha! Quickly find a seat, Xiao Tong."
Xiao Tong glanced at Liu Qingmeng and frowned when he noticed that Liu Qingmeng wasn't looking up at him.
"Qingmeng, may I sit here?" Xiao Tong asked in a low voice.
Liu Qingmeng didn't even look up at him, as if she hadn't heard him.
Seeing Xiao Tong standing there awkwardly, Su Zhilan would have burst out laughing if she hadn't been trained in facial expression management.
"Well done! You truly are my sister-in-law!"
Seeing that Liu Qingmeng did not react, Xiao Tong covered up her embarrassment with a smile and raised her voice a few decibels.
"Qingmeng, may I sit here?"
"Ah, judging from this, it seems that Xiao Tong knows Liu Xuemei."
"It seems so."
"Then maybe Senior Xiao Tong came to participate in the competition this time for Junior Liu."
"No way, if that's really the case, it would be too much."
Liu Qingmeng finally realized that someone was beside her.
Take off your headphones and look up.
Looking at that face that could excite any man, Xiao Tong's greedy eyes flashed by.
Liu Qingmeng took off her headphones.
"What's up?"
"Qingmeng, don't you recognize me?"
"Sorry, I don't know you. Who are you?"
“Qingmeng, you really have a bad memory. We’ve met several times before. Your father even took you to my house once.”
"Sorry, I don't remember. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Oh, may I sit here?"
"How dare they! Right in front of me, they tried to steal my sister-in-law! Don't they respect me as their older sister at all?"
"Xinghe, Xinghe, you'd better be more careful. Your girlfriend is already being coveted by another man."
"Xiao Tong, you can sit in the empty seat at the back. I'll sit here."
"Principal Su, Qingmeng and I have known each other for a long time, we're friends, I guess. May I catch up with her?"
"Qingmeng, you choose. Do you want to sit with her?"
"No, I absolutely refuse! Especially not in front of my second sister."
"Excuse me, Senior Xiao, I'd better sit with Teacher Su. She's been tutoring me lately, and I can ask her any questions I don't understand."
"Okay then, you can ask me too."
"It's time to go, Xiao Tong. Hurry up and find a seat."
"Boss, let's sit there," said the boy next to Xiao Tong.
"Okay, let's sit there."
"Xiao Tong, it's been a long time since we last met. Let's sit together. Lao Liu, come on, let's sit down and catch up."
"Who wants to sit with you, hmph!"
"Hey, Lao Liu, stop being so stubborn, you're still being stubborn."
"You! Who are you talking about!" The two professors started arguing, which eased the awkward atmosphere in the car.
Xiao Tong sat down, clenching his fists. He appeared calm on the surface, but his eyes were terrifyingly cold.
"Boss, are you alright?"
"It's alright, Qingmeng probably hasn't remembered me yet. She'll get used to me gradually."
"Thank you, Teacher Su," Liu Qingmeng said softly.
Why are you thanking me? What? You don't like him?
Liu Qingmeng shook her head.
“I think he’s quite handsome, his family is well-off, and he knows your parents.”
"Is he handsome? I don't think so."
Su Zhilan nodded in agreement, thinking to herself, "Of course. Compared to my Xinghe brother, he's completely outclassed. Family background? Looks? Studies?"
The comparison made Su Zhilan laugh. All I can say is, is this even comparable?
Su Zhilan acted like a bodyguard, never giving Xiao Tong another chance to get close to Liu Qingmeng, even after they arrived in Shanghai.
