Chapter 320: Fourth Brother Taking Over

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zheng Yue really didn’t expect Murong Qiao, who had helped her so much, to be related to Nan Kang.

However, ever since Nan Hao came to question her that day, the relationship between Murong Qiao and Nan Kang had been lingering in Zheng Yue’s heart, almost becoming a demon.

At this moment, Murong Qiao was standing in front of her and Zheng Yue looked at her with resentment and anger that she herself didn’t notice.

Murong Qiao frowned. “How did you know Nan Kang?”

Her questioning tone did not seem to be fake. Her probing gaze swept across Zheng Yue’s face, as if she really did not know.

As if they were still friends, Murong Qiao hesitated for a moment before answering.

“Our family’s relationship is complicated, so I’ve always been unwilling to share more. But how did you know?” she asked.

Looking at the frown between Murong Qiao’s eyebrows, Zheng Yue didn’t believe her words at all.

She sounded almost angry. “I’ve always been dating Nan Kang! How could you not know?!”

Zheng Yue raised her voice, attracting the attention of several girls beside her.

Realizing that she was attracting too much attention, Zheng Yue took another deep breath and suppressed the frustration and hatred in her heart.

“Are—you questioning me?” Murong Qiao frowned.

With these words, the already strange atmosphere between the two of them suddenly dropped to the freezing point, as if even the air had frozen.

Zheng Yue sneered. “Yes.”

“But you didn’t tell me who you’re dating. How would 1 know?” Murong Qiao returned the words to her.

Zheng Yue choked at Murong Qiao’s words and her thoughts were instantly taken away.

Indeed, she had never told Murong Qiao the details…

In order to hide that she was dating an old man, Zheng Yue even beautified their love story a lot during her chat with Murong Qiao.

However, with Murong Qiao’s methods and connections, how could she not know?

Zheng Yue immediately refuted, “Didn’t you investigate me?”

These words were a little ridiculous.

“I’m very busy.” Murong Qiao sighed helplessly.

She pointed at the dormitory. “I’m busy studying during my afternoon break. How would 1 have the time to investigate you?”

“Don’t tell me you think I’m so free as to find someone to investigate you?” Murong Qiao asked again.

Zheng Yue tried to find some reason to refute Murong Qiao, but she had to admit that Murong Qiao was right.

The flawless excuse was right in front of her. Looking at Murong Qiao’s helpless and amused expression, Zheng Yue blushed and could only let it go.

However, she was not convinced and didn’t think that she had said anything wrong. She just felt that Murong Qiao hid very well.

Murong Qiao did not have the time to continue chatting with her. Seeing that Zheng Yue was silent, she returned to the dormitory.

“Are you alright?” Leng Yan turned to look at her.

Murong Qiao shook her head. “She just asked a few questions.”

She did not take it to heart.

Yang Xin heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good, that’s good. Zheng Yue’s gaze looks like she can eat you up.”

Seeing Murong Qiao return with a calm expression, Yang Xin and Leng Yan were relieved.

However, in less than a minute, Yang Xin’s attention was attracted by something else.

“By the way, Qiaoqiao, they’ve been waiting for you at the door for the past few days.” Yang Xin was curious.

The fact that Nan Xuan and Nan Jin were camping at the gate for Murong Qiao was no longer a secret in Hui University. Any student could say a few words about it.

At the mention of this, Murong Qiao was caught between laughter and tears. “I don’t know what they want.”

Ever since they were dealt a blow by Murong Zheng and Murong Chuan last time, not only did Nan Jin and Nan Xuan not retreat, but they even became braver.

The two of them took turns squatting at the entrance of Hui University every day more frequently than clocking in at work.

Murong Qiao’s life during this period of time was colorful.

However, one day, when Murong Qiao opened the door and was about to go to school, she saw a different figure.

“Fourth Brother?” she asked in surprise.

The dazzling whiteness no longer existed. Instead, it was replaced by fashionable clothes that were pieced together and cut from different colors. The man standing at the door looked listless, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows drooped a little. He stood at the door with a hint of unwillingness. It was Murong Qiao’s Fourth Brother, Yan Xiu.

Seeing her come out, Yan Xiu put his phone back into his pocket. “I’ll send you to school today.”

His words were concise, and his face was filled with resistance to going out.

“All, okay.” Murong Qiao agreed reflexively. “Actually, you don’t have to send me…”

Seeing that Murong Zheng didn’t come, Murong Qiao guessed that he was busy.

In fact, the situation was not much different from what Murong Qiao had guessed.

This morning, Murong Zheng was originally prepared to send his Little Sister to school. However, just as he was about to leave, he was called to the hospital by the director. He said that there was an emergency surgery that had to be done.

Helpless, Murong Zheng could only entrust this matter to Yan Xiu.

At first, Yan Xiu did not want to move at all and had no intention of agreeing. Later on, seeing that Murong Zheng was rarely so persistent, he was forced to wake up early to look for Murong Qiao.

“Second Brother asked me to come,” Yan Xiu said.

These words made Murong Qiao stop thinking of dissuading him.

Murong Zheng had already sent her to school for almost a week. Murong Qiao suspected that no one could doubt his persistence.

In that case, Murong Qiao could only hope that the time to go to school could be shortened. After all, she was really a little flustered with Fourth Brother, who spoke little and liked to design.

Hence, they took the elevator down together. Even when they got into the car, Murong Qiao and Yan Xiu remained silent.

During this period, Murong Qiao secretly glanced at her Fourth Brother a few times. Seeing that he was wearing a mask and leaning against the car window with his eyes closed, she sat in her seat in peace and slacked off.

“…” But Yan Xiu was not sleepy.

At this moment, he was wondering why Murong Zheng had asked him to come.

Murong Qiao was already an adult, so there was naturally no need to be concerned about her safety. However, what really concerned Yan Xiu was Murong Zheng’s stubborn attitude.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the scenery flying past outside the car window. His face was so thin that no emotions could be seen. It was simply unapproachable.

Escorting Little Sister to school… Was there anything special in this mission worth paying attention to?

The doubts in Yan Xiu’s heart were resolved when he accompanied Murong Qiao to the school gate.

“Qiaoqiao, I changed the type of breakfast today. See if it suits your taste—”

Unsurprisingly, Nan Jin was waiting for Murong Qiao’s arrival.

Yan Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and his gaze landed on the man in front of him without restraint, sizing him up.

Murong Qiao took a step back. “There’s no need.”

In any case, she had eaten every morning before she went out. She would never accept Nan Jin’s kindness.

“I just want to make up for my mistakes, Qiaoqiao.” Nan Jin smiled bitterly.

He looked at Murong Qiao, who was pulling away from him. He held the breakfast in his hand in the air, looking a little embarrassed.

Murong Qiao remained silent, and Nan Jin did not give up. The two of them were in a stalemate at the school gate.

Yan Xiu stood at the side and heard the unconcealable intimacy in Nan Jin’s tone and saw the obvious guilt he felt for Murong Qiao.

He seemed to know why Murong Zheng insisted on making him come..
