“I’m different from Hou Zi. We’re not on the same path. It has been 17 years now. Old Sixth helped me a lot so none of my family members know it. However, I didn’t expect you to see us at the hotel.”

Ye Jian blinked when she heard this. A strange feeling appeared in her heart.

Her family members didn’t know about her relations.h.i.+p for 17 years. Yet, she saw them at the hotel. Ye Jian couldn’t help but think deeply about this matter.

“Brother Zi treats you very well. He even put much thought in your breakfast.” Ye Jian didn’t know what was the true intention so she didn’t dare to say too much. Since Xia Jinyuan was helping his cousin to keep her relations.h.i.+p a secret, this meant that the Xia family would definitely reject it if they find out.

Also, just now, Hou Zi told her that for the sake of Captain Xia, to no to take anything to heart if her Sister Wei complained. He looked at her intently after he said this. He was asking her to take note when she was in the car.

Take note of what? As an outsider, she didn’t understand what was going on between the two of them.

She didn’t know how they interacted but she could tell that their relations.h.i.+p was a tough one.

One was a popular figure in the underworld while the other was working in the government sector. Their political views were entirely different. It was expected that the Xia family wouldn’t agree to their relations.h.i.+p.

Xia Yiwei held the steering wheel tightly. She slowly turned a corner. The school gate of Provincial No.1 Middle School was right in front. “Yes, he treats me very well. Unfortunately, there are too many obstacles between us. They separate us like a river. We can’t get close to each other.”

“Old Sixth and you are different. You’re young, but Old Sixth is young too. There’s just a six-year gap between the two of you. By the time you come out, Old Sixth will be able to help you. I think that your relations.h.i.+p will have a good ending. I really antic.i.p.ate the day when I’ll see you at our house.”

Forget it, the young lady has probably guessed that she wanted to make one last bet. She wanted to bet that the young lady would reveal the relations.h.i.+p between her and Hou Zi unconsciously one day to her uncle. In the end, the hidden relations.h.i.+p she had for 17 years will be exposed.

It was a bet that she had no hope of winning at all. Yet, she still wanted to try it on a young lady. How funny was that?

At 7.30 am, there were already many students entering the school. Ye Jian waved goodbye to Xia Yiwei. Then, she carried her bag containing her camouflage uniform, her raincoats, and her other luggage and walked through the school gates.

“Morning, Ye Jian.”

“Good morning, Ye Jian.”

“Morning. Ye Jian, you didn’t get tan at all after the military training.”

“My skin turned dark. Yesterday, the moment I went home, my mother asked who this mine worker was! I felt like the sky had fallen. I was already dark to begin with and now, I’m even darker. If I wear white clothes at night, I might scare people off.”

Within a month, Ye Jian had become a famous person in school. There were people who knew her in every cla.s.s. No matter where she went, there were people greeting her.

Amidst all the greetings, Ye Jian gave a bright smile that could only be seen on a student. She looked like a flower that just bloomed. Her beauty was pure.

Yesterday, because of the heavy rain, the students that didn’t live in school stayed at home. It was almost morning self-study so more and more students started coming in.

Ye Jian was quite lucky. She just managed to miss the peak period. She returned to her dormitory and immediately grabbed her textbooks before going to cla.s.s.

Cla.s.s One was always not bad at self-studying. When Ye Jian entered the room, all the students that arrived were either doing exercises or reciting their textbooks. This was their second year in senior high. The university entrance examination wasn’t far away. Now, they needed to work hard and prepare for the university entrance examination.
