With Gong Banyan’s intervention, Xu Heng no longer had the courage to make Murong Qiao apologize.

He wished he could leave now.

“Dad—” Xu Yang tugged at his hand and whined.

However, how could Xu Heng still be in the mood to protect his daughter? As soon as Gong Banyan came out, he apologized without hesitation.

“I didn’t teach her well. I’ll talk to her now.” Xu Heng smiled apologetically and pulled his daughter away.

He was so fast that Murong Qiao was secretly impressed.

The commotion just now attracted a lot of people, but most of them looked away when they saw Gong Banyan, excluding Murong Chen.

“Qiaoqiao.” Murong Chen came over to check on the situation. Then, he was a little surprised to see Gong Banyan. “Aunt Gong?”

His address also caught Murong Qiao’s attention. Murong Qiao glanced at Gong Banyan curiously.

“I didn’t expect the two of you to meet in advance.” Murong Chen stood in the middle with a smile. “Qiaoqiao, this is the elder I mentioned before.”

Murong Chen made the introductions, and Murong Qiao also woke up from her previous imagination.

This elder was completely different from the geriatric appearance in her mind. Gong Banyan was beautiful, and her skin was well-maintained. Just by looking at her face, people would believe that she was the same age as Murong Chen.

When Murong Qiao found out the other party’s ident.i.ty, she felt that it was a coincidence that the person she had just b.u.mped into was the elder she wanted to meet.

“h.e.l.lo, Aunt.” Murong Qiao greeted her obediently.

Gong Banyan responded with a smile and brushed the hair on her shoulder with her right hand.

“This little girl is quite likable,” she said, attracting Murong Chen’s surprised gaze.

Gong Banyan had a unique personality and did not show goodwill to people easily. Therefore, Murong Chen was a little surprised to hear her undisguised good impression of Murong Qiao.

Curiously, Murong Qiao glanced at Gong Banyan and easily a.s.sociated her with the image of a vocal queen, finding it not at all surprising.

The three of them did not chat for long. Soon, others came over to greet them.

“This must be Young Miss Murong…” The topic of discussion easily turned to Murong Qiao.

Most of the people who came to talk to Murong Chen were elders. In the past, the topics they talked about were either business cooperation or the future of the stock market. However, this time, because of Murong Qiao, they often talked about her.

They were all intending to form a marriage alliance with the Murong family.

“I wonder what your plans are for your Little Sister’s marriage.” Many people asked the same question.

These words successfully made Murong Chen’s face darken. The person who asked the question also felt a chill on his neck.

The appearance of Murong Qiao was like a coveted delicacy for the majority of people, causing them to scramble and compete for her hand.

But this time, before Murong Chen could answer, Gong Banyan stood in front of Murong Qiao even more protectively than him.

“With that playboy son of yours, you still have the cheek to ask?”

“If you’re talking about dating, 1 advise you to look in the mirror.”

“You have so many illegitimate children that you can’t even count them. You should give others a chance to reproduce.”

Gong Banyan’s words were straightforward. When she met some people she didn’t like, she’d directly expose them on the spot, making them leave in embarra.s.sment.

There were many people who came to talk to her, but they all returned in defeat when they met Gong Banyan. They would all fail to gain any benefits from her.

Murong Qiao looked at her aunt’s impolite att.i.tude towards everyone and was instantly shocked.

She also wanted to have such a mouthpiece. She could simply fight with the aristocrats without being at a disadvantage.

This family gathering could be said to have successfully refreshed Murong Qiao’s understanding of Gong Banyan.

Even when she returned to school from home and sat on the bed in the dormitory, Gong Banyan’s image was still vivid in her mind.

After the snow, the weather was obviously much colder. Ever since Murong Qiao returned to school from the last family gathering, she had added a few winter clothes to her luggage.

The single-digit temperature suppressed the students’ enthusiasm, causing everyone to hide in the dormitory when they did not have cla.s.s.

Although there weren’t many outdoor activities to do, ever since someone posted on the forum that she had given her boyfriend a scarf that she had personally knitted, the girls in the dormitory began to follow suit.

“Look at my knitting technique, is it right? Why do 1 feel like I’m weaving it backwards?” Yang Xin poked Leng Yan beside her in confusion.

These days, Yang Xin also followed the trend and bought a bundle of yarn to knit a scarf. However, she had a lively nature, and could never sit still. So she struggled with activities that required patience, such as knitting scarves. “They’re all knitting for their boyfriends. Why are you joining in the fun?” Leng Yan was helpless.

Although she said that, she still corrected Yang Xin’s wrong knitting technique.

Yang Xin raised her eyebrows. “Can’t 1 give myself some warmth?”

After she finished speaking, she suddenly glanced in Murong Qiao’s direction as if she had sensed something.

“Qiaoqiao, aren’t you going to knit a scarf for School Hunk Huo?” Yang Xin suddenly asked.

How could she suffer alone? Yang Xin immediately decided to drag someone down with her.

It was better to suffer together than to suffer alone.

“Scarf?” Murong Qiao turned around.

A messy ball of yarn was piled on Yang Xin’s legs, but it didn’t affect the fun of knitting a scarf.

It seemed like she had never given Huo Yichen any gifts before.

Murong Qiao’s gaze was fixed on the ball of wool. When Yang Xin saw her serious expression, she could tell at a glance that Murong Qiao was tempted.

“Look, everyone on the forum is showing off their gifts. School Hunk Huo is definitely looking forward to you giving one to him!” Yang Xin struck while the iron was hot.

Huo Yichen’s antic.i.p.ation… Murong Qiao’s mind conjured up an image of him looking at her. Although the imagined expression on Huo Yichen’s face remained indifferent, the thought of him truly appearing disappointed because he didn’t receive a gift made Murong Qiao feel a hint of sympathy.

“Then I—” Murong Qiao was about to say that she was going to buy materials when Yang Xin stuffed a new ball of yarn into her mouth.

“Use mine!” Yang Xin happily offered the ball of yarn that she had bought.

She was originally very confident and wanted to knit a few for her family, so she bought many b.a.l.l.s of yarn of different colors. Coincidentally, they came in handy now.

Of course, the result was obvious. Yang Xin hadn’t even knitted her first scarf yet.

This way, she didn’t have to regret wasting the materials. With Murong Qiao’s company, Yang Xin immediately felt motivated.

Good sisters have to knit scarves together!

Murong Qiao had nothing to do anyway, so she took the yarn and tools and started knitting.

Soon, Yang Xin realized the difference in talent.

“Did you cheat?” She looked at the half-finished product in Murong Qiao’s hand in shock.

From the moment Murong Qiao said that she wanted to start knitting the scarf, Yang Xin had been with her. It had only been more than an hour since the two of them started.

Yang Xin looked at the half-finished product in her hand that was less than a palm-length long. Then, she looked at the scarf that Murong Qiao had knitted. It was twice as long as hers.

If she remembered correctly, she originally wanted to drag Murong Qiao along to suffer.

“You’re always in a daze.” Murong Qiao said helplessly.

This was her normal progress, alright? In the past hour, not only was Yang Xin engrossed in watching a drama, but she also made several mistakes and had to dismantle them five times.

Yang Xin scratched her head and realized the skill gap between the two of them.

Seeing that Murong Qiao was learning quickly and gradually becoming skilled, Yang Xin looked at the messy yarn in her hand and sighed deeply.

Forget it, forget it. Perhaps it was the motivation of love.

Just as Yang Xin was sighing, Murong Qiao suddenly knocked her head.

“Pay attention. If you continue to make mistakes like this, you won’t be able to weave a single one,” Murong Qiao reminded her.

Hearing Murong Qiao’s words, Yang Xin could only pick up the needle again while Leng Yan looked at their completely different states and couldn’t help but laugh..
