"Oh, I see. Secretary Xiang, Jiayue is here."
Principal Guo immediately assumed that Xiang Tianchao was a relative of the Lu Family, pointing to Lu Jiayue who was sitting next to him. šÆš»š®šš¬š®ššš¤ššš”.ššš¶
It was quite strange. Lu Jiayue had been sitting next to him for quite a while, but she hadnāt called Secretary Xiang uncle, and he hadnāt heard that they knew each other.
Lu Jiayue bit her lower lip tightly, her complexion slightly changed.
Lu Qingyi actually knew big shots like Secretary Xiang.
Xiang Tianchao frowned, "I donāt know her."
"Arenāt you Qingyiās uncle?" Principal Guo didnāt seem to grasp the situation.
"I am."
Xiang Tianchao glanced at Lu Qingyi and only spoke after he saw her nod with a headache.
Without this little ancestorās agreement, he might be in trouble.
Principal Guo then emphasized, "Lu Jiayue, Qingyiās sister, her biological sister."
At this, Xiang Tianchaoās frown deepened, his gaze landing on Lu Jiayue seemed rather ambiguous.
"I never heard that Qingyi had a sister."
Xiang Tianchaoās words were somewhat sarcastic.
He didnāt have a good impression of Lu Qingyiās family members. Parents who abandoned their own child disgusted him, and a hypocritical sister was even more repulsive.
He felt really sorry for this little girl, Lu Qingyi.
Although she was highly capable and good at everything, she didnāt have the childhood she wanted.
The reason why she was so outstanding and independent was probably due to her family circumstances.
"Secretary Xiang, Lu Qingyi is my biological sister."
Lu Jiayueās small hand clenched the corner of her clothing as she softly spoke.
She didnāt deliberately try to establish a relationship with Xiang Tianchao but respectfully followed the principalās lead in addressing Xiang Tianchao as Secretary Xiang.
Xiang Tianchao stated, "You donāt look alike."
As a man in his forties and a secretary, even though he didnāt like Lu Jiayue, he didnāt show it too obviously.
Principal Guo: "..."
In what way didnāt they look alike?
He thought that Lu Qingyi and Lu Jiayue looked quite similar, with the only difference being that Lu Qingyi was more beautiful.
Lu Jiayue was a bit embarrassed, gently biting her lower lip, hanging her head low and not speaking.
There was a light of resentment in her eyes. She was envious of Lu Qingyi, insanely jealous.
Why on earth did Lu Qingyi know Xiang Tianchao?
"Jiayue, you go back to class first."
Principal Guo touched his nose and said, perhaps Xiang Tianchao really was the uncle that Lu Qingyi recognized.
Almost everyone on the playground had left. Only a few people remained in small groups, watching from a distance and engaging in occasional conversation.
"Okay." Lu Jiayue obediently nodded her head.
"Qingyi, arenāt you being a bully?"
Xiang Tianchao scrutinized Lu Qingyi for a moment before slowly speaking.
At first, he thought Lu Qingyi looked familiar because she had cut her hair short, hence he didnāt immediately recognize her.
The Lu Qingyi in his memory had beautiful flowing hair. It had only been a short while when this girl had cut her hair short.
Lu Qingyi was confused: "Hm?"
As long as no one provoked her, she wouldnāt bully others for no reason.
"Attending high school really does wrong you."
An esteemed professor of Hardrick, attending high school in Jin City No.1 High School, wasnāt that clear bullying?
No one here could outscore Lu Qingyi. As long as she wanted, being first every time wouldnāt be a problem.
"Itās okay."
She didnāt feel wronged. Itās just that some people are quite annoying.
"Secretary Xiang, what do you mean by this?"
Principal Guo was completely baffled, how could attending high school be considered as wronging Lu Qingyi?
Jin City No.1 High School was the best high school in Jin City, how did Lu Qingyi become the wronged party?
"Nothing." Xiang Tianchao glanced at Principal Guo and said, "Principal, itās been a long time since I last saw Qingyi, may we catch up for a while?"
"Of course, of course." Principal Guo very consciously stepped away.
"Do you have any tasks?" Xiang Tianchao asked the girl next to him.
Lu Qingyi: "No."
"Giving up being a professor to experience student life?"
Xiang Tianchao asked.
Lu Qingyi was a professor at Hardrick, and also the cityās general secretary. He was merely a deputy.
Lu Qingyi had a position, dealing with big and small matters. Only when they were difficult to resolve would Lu Qingyi personally step in.
He was promoted to secretary thanks to Lu Qingyi.
A girl not yet twenty had abilities far superior to his.
"It was quite tiring before."
Lu Qingyi placed her hands behind her back, slightly tilting her head up, closing her eyes gently.
Honor could not be obtained without hard work, she used to climb up with relentless efforts.
She hoped that her grandmother could live a good life with her, so she kept working hard. It was truly exhausting.
The sorrow hidden behind the honor was boundless.
"Thatās good too."
Xiang Tianchao patted Lu Qingyi on the shoulder.
"Is your grandmother doing okay?" Xiang Tianchao asked.
Lu Qingyi had never spoken about her grandmotherās death, very few people knew about it.
"She has passed away."
Lu Qingyiās voice showed no joy or sorrow. Compared to the beginning, she was now much more composed.
Xiang Tianchao was taken aback, uncertain of what to say.
He always knew that Lu Qingyi and her grandmother depended on each other for survival, her parents ignored her. Losing the only person who was good to her, he couldnāt imagine how hard it must have been for Lu Qingyi, a young girl.
"I will go to Kyoto after the college entrance examination."
She didnāt discuss her grandmotherās matter, instead, she said to Xiang Tianchao.
Xiang Tianchao asked, "Hardrick?"
It seemed Lu Qingyi might want to experience college life again.
It was understandable. He got to know her after she entered college. The girl was genuinely hard-working, with hardly any free time, always busy.
"Medical School."
She never thought about going to Hardrick again. Once was enough; she had no intention of doing it a second time.
Besides, even if she went to Hardrick, she would likely not attend class, many people there knew her.
"Want to study medicine?"
Xiang Tianchao suddenly became interested. The Medical School was mainly about medical skills. Although Hardrickās medical equipment was good, its teaching staff was not as good as the Medical Schoolās.
Hardrick was a comprehensive university, while the Medical School mainly focused on medicine.
Lu Qingyi answered rather ambiguously: "I guess."
"Youāre still as cold as before. Girls at your age should be happy, should make more friends and talk more.
Make friends of your own age, spend more time with your classmates, donāt always be alone, your personality... sigh."
Xiang Tianchao sighed reluctantly. He spoke as an elder.
Everything about Lu Qingyi was good except she didnāt like to speak. He had never seen any peers around her.
"Itās getting late."
Lu Qingyi did not respond to Xiang Tianchaoās words, but instead urged him on.
People were quite annoying.
"Then Iāll leave."
He was very busy. His visit to No.1 High School today was also an order from higher-ups.
