Shi Miao leisurely carried the test papers back to the classroom, placed them on the podium, and let them come up and take them themselves.
Ji Sinian pulled out a chair for Shi Miao and asked nervously, "Holy crap, Sister Miao, you're finally back! My uncle didn't say anything, did he?"
"You're being praised." Shi Miao's voice was slightly low and hoarse, with a hint of nonchalance.
"Really? I don't believe it. My uncle must be having another fit!" Ji Sinian said earnestly, resting his chin on his hand.
Shi Miao's lips twitched slightly. She glanced at this idiot speechlessly, then propped her head up and started playing on her phone.
"Sister Miao, don't you think so?" Ji Sinian asked again when Shi Miao ignored her.
Shi Miao stared intently at her phone screen and replied dismissively, "Ah, yes."
Suddenly remembering William, whom she had locked in the dark room, she tapped the screen a few times and released him.
William sent her a message shortly after.
William: [How was yesterday's game?]
Shi Miao: [It's hard to comment, I almost got bitten by a dog.]
William: [?]
William: [What kind of organization is the Piano Association? How could they let a dog in like that!]
Shi Miao didn't reply to William anymore, and opened the chat box with Qin Xiao.
The sun shines brightly: [Shi Xiaomiao, I'm in H City today. I'm treating you to hot pot. You can't refuse.]
Knowing that Ji Yanchen was returning to the capital today and she would be alone that night, Shi Miao replied: 【Okay.】
The sun shines brightly: 【Okay, I'll come pick you up then.】

"We found out. Madam had dinner with a girl named Shi Miao yesterday."
Qin Chu tapped her fingers lightly on the table, looking at the photo the man handed her, "Shi Miao..."
Qin Chu was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Shi Miao to come to the capital and know Gu Wanqing. He had really underestimated her.
"I understand. You can go now. Keep a close eye on Madam. If the two of them meet again, let me know immediately." Qin Chu narrowed her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
Not long after the man left, Gu Wanqing pushed open the door and walked in. To her surprise, Qin Chu was in the study: "Why didn't you go to the company today?"
Qin Chu snapped out of her daze, got up, and pulled Gu Wanqing to sit down on the sofa. "I've been too busy lately, but I finally have time to spend with you today."
Gu Wanqing gave a faint "hmm" and didn't say anything more.
Qin Chu smoothed her hair, a smile playing on her lips, and casually asked, "Are you very familiar with Shi Miao?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Wanqing frowned slightly, "How do you know Shi Miao?"
Qin Chu smiled and said, "Ah... my little niece told me about it. I've also heard a little about what happened yesterday."
"We've only met twice, but we get along quite well," Gu Wanqing said casually.
"You don't look too good. What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Qin Chu touched her cheek, his gaze deepening.
Gu Wanqing rubbed her temples and said hesitantly, "I've been having a lot of dreams lately, where I seem to have my own child, but I've lost it. It's really strange."
Qin Chu's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Wanqing, you've really suffered these past years. It's all my fault for injuring my body and not being able to be with you..."
Gu Wanqing reached out and covered his mouth, whispering, "What are you saying? You became like this because you were saving me."
Qin Chu sighed, pulled her into his arms, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
You never expected this, my dear brother, but the woman you love most is right here in my arms...
After Gu Wanqing left, Qin Chu picked up his phone and made a call.
Qin Chu rubbed her fingertips against her phone, slowly walked to the window, and said coldly, "Didn't you say before that she wouldn't regain her memories? How come she's starting to show signs of remembering now?"
"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible, unless she encounters someone or something related to that memory," the person on the other end of the phone said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Chu lowered her eyes, concealing the darkness within them. "Yes, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, a ruthless glint flashed in Qin Chu's eyes. She hadn't expected her meticulously planned scheme of so many years to backfire. Sending Shi Miao back to the Gu family was a mistake; preventing their meeting was clearly impossible. It seemed Shi Miao couldn't be allowed to live...
