Is this old lady referring to the Yi family's matriarch, or grandmother?
But when did Grandma get a grandson?
She only had one biological daughter, her eldest aunt who had passed away many years ago.
So, could this grandson be—
In a flash, Yi Tianran suddenly remembered that her grandmother had once said that her eldest aunt used to be very rebellious. She had even run away from home for a while because of a dispute with her family, and had a relationship with a man.
Later, she returned home after being heartbroken. Since then, she has become more mature and steady, and has learned to be filial to her mother.
Before the mother and daughter could enjoy their time together, the aunt unexpectedly passed away.
Could it be that my aunt had already given birth to a child outside of marriage at that time?
And that child could very well be Xu Zhe?
This idea struck Yi Tianran right to the heart, making her tremble.
If that's true, then Yi Qilin is far too terrifying.
What exactly does he want to achieve by using Xu Zhe?
A sudden surge of inexplicable restlessness welled up inside me.
She knew the Yi family were all bad, but she never imagined they were this bad.
"Ranran, are you alright?" Kasha's caring voice rang in my ears.
Yi Tianran suddenly came to her senses.
All of this is just her speculation; without evidence, it's all for nothing.
"I'm fine."
Su Mo has fully recovered and has no more worries.
She said solemnly, "Kasha, I really have to thank you this time."
Kasha said in a serious tone, "You said that there's no need for formalities between friends."
Yi Tianran smiled unconsciously.
...
Now that she had suspicions, Yi Tianran was not about to sit idly by and wait for her fate.
She had previously thought that there would be no further interaction between her and Xu Zhe, and she didn't want him to actually fall in love with her, so she didn't go out of her way to look for him, lest he overthink things.
But times have changed.
After the three children investigated, it was quickly confirmed that he had gone to study at a university in Country V.
"So, in order to investigate his identity, you're going to pretend to be a student again to get close to him?" Fu Yunchen put a hand on her shoulder, his tone slightly cold: "Assistant Yi, do you even remember your job?"
Yi Tianran smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, President Fu. This mission is very simple. I just need to personally confirm the results and I'll be back soon. Besides, didn't I ask you to install a location tracking device? It won't run away."
Fu Yunchen's expression darkened slightly.
The little furball said, "Mommy, Daddy isn't worried about you running away, but rather that you, this beautiful flower, are being coveted by weeds."
"Isn't that easy?" Yi Tianran raised an eyebrow, already having a plan: "This time I can disguise myself as a boy, he won't recognize me anymore!"
Finally, after much pleading and coaxing, Fu Yunchen agreed.
Anyway, he can see her anytime he wants.
...
Two days later, Yi Tianran, dressed as a man, arrived at Rhodes Noble Academy in Country V as an international student.
In order to get closer to Xu Zhe and better investigate his identity, she took the initiative to apply for the same major as Xu Zhe.
Fortunately, this time Xu Zhe no longer skipped classes as often as he did at Linghua College. Instead, he sat obediently in his seat, engrossed in his books.
She went to the elective class classroom and sat down next to Xu Zhe, trying to get closer to him: "Hello, I am Fu Ran, an international student who transferred from China. Please take care of me."
This fake name was specially chosen for her by Fu Yunchen, who said confidently, "Bearing the surname Fu means that you will be a member of the Fu family from now on."
Yi Tianran was also impressed by his shamelessness.
However, in the end, in order to be able to travel smoothly, she reluctantly agreed.
Upon hearing "China," Xu Zhe's eyelids twitched, and he almost reflexively looked up at her.
Looking at the unfamiliar face before him, his eyes dimmed, and he lowered his gaze, looking listless and indifferent to her.
For a brief moment, he was actually hoping that the woman who had changed his fate would reappear.
But reality told him that it was all an illusion.
If he had been more proactive and asked Qin Yao for her phone number, perhaps their contact wouldn't have ended.
But now it's all too late. He promised Brother Qilin that he couldn't go back to China to see her until he had completed his studies.
Just like Brother Qilin said, only by creating your own world with your own hands can you be qualified to compete with an opponent like Fu Yunchen.
Seeing that he was clearly distracted, Yi Tianran didn't dare to continue the conversation.
Anyway, the person is right in front of us, we can investigate at any time...
"I advise you not to waste your energy." Just then, a sarcastic voice suddenly rang out.
Yi Tianran looked up in confusion and saw three male classmates gathered together, saying sarcastically, "This Xu student is quite arrogant. He always acts superior to everyone. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was some young master from a noble family. He's just a special admission student, what's so arrogant about him?"
Their eyes were filled with obvious jealousy and disdain: "Isn't he just a pretty boy? He can seduce rich women to spend money on gifts for him just by looking at his face. That's why I say Asians are weaklings."
This is blatant, naked discrimination.
"Nobody likes him normally, which only shows that he has serious character flaws."
A cold glint flashed in Yi Tianran's eyes, but she smiled and said, "So what if he's a special admission student? Doesn't it just prove that he has excellent grades and is eager to learn? Unlike some nobles who are clearly of high status but are lazy and good-for-nothing, nobody likes those fat pigs!"
The veiled insult couldn't be more obvious. The three boys' faces turned ashen. "Who the hell are you insulting?"
"Don't be angry, I didn't insult you. Don't take it personally. I believe none of you are the kind of tasteless losers."
Yi Tianran spoke gently, then said confidently, "Besides, what's wrong with being a gigolo? Being able to win the heart of a rich woman shows that he's capable! Isn't that an honor? If any rich woman takes a liking to me, I'd like to be a gigolo too."
Now she views Xu Zhe through the lens of "grandmother and grandson," and naturally, she doesn't hesitate to side with him.
Xu Zhe: "..."
The way this international student speaks sounds so familiar.
Yi Tianran concluded, "So it seems you all think he's perfect and there's nothing to criticize, so you're nitpicking like this. You're as petty as toothpicks."
The three boys' faces turned pale and then green, clearly they were all furious at her rebuke.
"Who the hell did you call someone as small as a toothpick? You're asking for a beating!"
Before he could finish speaking, the school bell rang.
A fierce-looking teacher walked in, picked up his textbook, slammed it on the lectern, and shouted, "Shut up, everyone! Class is starting!"
It seems he has quite a lot of deterrent power.
With one shout, the three boys immediately fell silent.
But their expressions still looked grim.
He glared fiercely at Yi Tianran, as if to say—
If you've got the guts, don't run away after class, just you wait!
