Qin Yun and Xiao Lan were strolling down the street, talking about things that happened in their respective classes.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, a girl was speaking with others about something.

The girl was very beautiful, wearing high heels, with her hair tied up, and dressed like a professional woman. She held a document in her hand and was instructing several people beside her.

Her face looked very familiar; it was none other than Xiao Qianqian.

"Alright, do it this way. If there's anything you're unclear about in the middle, call me." Xiao Qianqian instructed.

"Yes, Director Xiao!" The people around her all responded.

Nodding slightly, Xiao Qianqian was about to say something when she suddenly glanced into the distance, stunned.

"Lanlan?"

She saw her cousin Xiao Lan, who was holding hands with another young man at the time.

"Is that... Qin Yun next to Lanlan?"

Xiao Qianqian's expression changed. She remembered the high school friend who stood beside Xiao Lan when school started. She didn't expect them to be together now, and judging by the looks of it, they were in a romantic relationship.

Her eyes shifted slightly, and Xiao Qianqian walked over directly, saying, "Lanlan."

Xiao Lan was smiling and talking about something when she heard Xiao Qianqian's voice, glanced over, and was taken aback.

She didn't expect to run into Xiao Qianqian on the street.

In the distance, Xiao Qianqian approached, giving a glance at Qin Yun.

Wen Yun had her WeChat and phone number and had contacted her previously, asking her to look after Xiao Lan, and to inform her if there was anything around her.

Additionally, Wen Yun specifically mentioned Qin Yun, saying that his family was from Qingwu County as well, running a few small 40-square-meter shops.

According to Wen Yun, she undoubtedly didn't want Xiao Lan to be with Qin Yun, but seeing the situation now, they were already together.

"Qianqian, cousin." Seeing Xiao Qianqian approaching, Xiao Lan called out.

Qin Yun also smiled and nodded at Xiao Qianqian.

But Xiao Qianqian simply glanced at him without the polite response she had during the school opening.

Her father was Xiao Hengjun, the richest man in Qingwu County, with assets worth at least a billion dollars. To her, Qin Yun was truly a trivial figure whom she wouldn't usually pay any attention to.

Her standards were high, considering Xiao Lan her sister. Her views were the same as Wen Yun, only someone truly outstanding was qualified to be with her sister.

The love between a rich girl and a poor scholar seemed ridiculous to her.

"Lanlan, I have a company gathering tonight, why don't you come with me?" Xiao Qianqian stated calmly.

If one listens carefully, there seems to be a hint of a commanding tone in her voice.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan directly shook her head, saying without hesitation, "Qianqian, cousin, I don't want to attend your company gathering."

The last time she attended the gathering, Xiao Qianqian specifically introduced her to several people. Although it was just for acquaintance and they only exchanged a few words, she particularly disliked that atmosphere.

Hearing Xiao Lan's straightforward refusal, Xiao Qianqian slightly frowned.

"This gathering was a specific request from your mother." She said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan retorted, "I'll discuss it with my mom."

Seeing Xiao Lan's "rebellious" behavior, Xiao Qianqian frowned even more, looking at Qin Yun and suddenly said, "Qin Yun, can I have a private word with my sister?"

Her meaning was clear, she wanted Qin Yun to leave first.

However, Qin Yun didn't make any move to leave. He looked at Xiao Lan, then at Xiao Qianqian, and smiled, "You should ask Xiao Lan about that."

Seeing this, a trace of annoyance towards Qin Yun arose in Xiao Qianqian's heart.

"Qin Yun, sorry about this."

At this moment, Xiao Lan quickly said, looking apologetically at Qin Yun, intending to pull Xiao Qianqian aside.

Nevertheless, upon seeing her agree, Qin Yun said directly, "You can talk, I'll just go a bit further."

After saying that, Qin Yun walked away.

"Qianqian, cousin, what do you want to talk to me about?" Pulling her gaze away from Qin Yun, Xiao Lan looked at her cousin whom she had admired since childhood.

Xiao Qianqian's expression remained calm as she spoke, "Lanlan, are you dating Qin Yun?"

She stared into Xiao Lan's eyes, seriously asking, as if she could see through her true thoughts.

Xiao Lan nodded and said, "Didn't you see it?"

Seeing this, Xiao Qianqian calmly said, "Lanlan, you need to know, your mom wants you to meet someone truly outstanding, not someone from an ordinary background. You and Qin Yun won't last."

"What is outstanding?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan countered, "Character? Integrity? Appearance? Or just the wealth my mom believes in?"

"Lanlan, this is how society functions now, wealth represents a person's capability, it signifies excellence."

Xiao Qianqian stated seriously, "Actually, truly wealthy people won't be lacking in any area. You're still young, you have enough time to carefully choose until you find the one you want."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan felt that her cousin was becoming more and more like her mother.

She knew she couldn't change Xiao Qianqian's mind, so she said, "Qianqian, cousin, I will make my own decisions. I have my own thoughts."

Looking seriously at her cousin, Xiao Qianqian was silent for several seconds, and finally nodded, saying, "Alright. But your mom did ask me to inform her about your situation as well."

Since Xiao Lan insisted, she wouldn't say any more.

After Xiao Qianqian and her people left, Xiao Lan stood quietly, sighing inwardly.

"Xiao Lan." In the distance, seeing what happened, Qin Yun walked back over.

"Qin Yun, I'm upset, take a walk with me." She said to Qin Yun.

"Alright." Qin Yun looked at the girl in front of him, nodded without hesitation.

...

In a standalone villa in Qingwu County, Xiao Pingjun was reading news on his phone.

At this moment, Wen Yun walked over with an unpleasant expression.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Pingjun asked.

Wen Yun said coldly, "Xiao Pingjun, aren't you going to control your daughter? Qianqian ran into her on the street, and she was holding hands with Qin Yun."

"Qin Yun?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Pingjun reacted and quickly asked, "Are they already dating? How far have they gotten? Why didn't Lanlan say anything?"

"Hmph! Go ask her yourself." Wen Yun said in a deep voice, "I've told her many times not to get close to Qin Yun, but she never listens. It's all your pampering."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Pingjun frowned and said, "Not to get close to Qin Yun, then have Qianqian introduce others for Lanlan to know?"

"Am I wrong?"

Wen Yun said, "The people Qianqian introduces are all very outstanding, it's just a simple introduction to them, nothing more."

"By interacting more with these people, Lanlan will know who is outstanding, broaden her horizons, and not be deceived."

In her view, what she did was not wrong.
