As he spoke, the principal turned around and smiled at Ming Qianye.

“Professor Ming, this is Teacher He, Lou Che’s future form teacher. He will bring Lou Che to the dormitory and class later…”

Ming Qianye nodded and said indifferently, “Alright, I’ll have to trouble everyone next. If anything happens to Lou Che, you can report to me at any time. His current foundation means he might not be able to keep up, but don’t worry, I’ll make up for it.”

“Haha, Professor Ming, don’t be so polite! If you’re so outstanding, your younger brother definitely won’t be bad either.”

…

After settling all the procedures, Lou Che looked at the school badge and uniform that he had just received. He was still in a daze!

Was this the legendary high school that was the most difficult to enter?

It seemed to be very ordinary. It was far from difficult to enter…

The campus environment was not bad. It was much better than his previous school. Moreover, Lou Che felt that the students here were highly academically motivated. The students were very polite. Lou Che suddenly felt that this place was not bad.

Moreover, not far from there was G University, one of the top universities in the country!

This was the university town of S City. Many famous universities were here.

However, Lou Che still felt that it wasn’t real. He was in a daze…

It wasn’t until Ming Qianye’s cold voice came that he pulled himself back to reality.

“Alright, the procedures have been completed. You already know where the dormitory and classroom is. Go back and prepare well today. I’ll send you here tomorrow. Say goodbye to your past. Adjust your mentality, young man! Your present and future will start from here… Let’s go. I’ll treat you to a meal and celebrate!”

Ming Qianye’s tone was a little low, but it sounded reassuring.

Even Lou Che seemed to be affected. He suddenly felt some strength in his heart and was looking forward to his future…

Saying goodbye to the past… the present and the future would begin here…

…

It was already evening when the siblings left G University’s Affiliated High School.

Ming Qianye was in a good mood. She took Lou Che to the most luxurious and high-end restaurant in S City to enjoy dinner.

The cafeteria was located in one of the iconic buildings in S City. It was on the 88th floor of Qilan Building. One could see the gorgeous lights from above and look down at the scenery of more than half of S City.

The siblings asked for a seat by the side and ordered a lot of delicious food. They even ordered two sodas.

Ming Qianye poured a cup for Lou Che, who was sitting opposite her, and then filled her own cup as well. Her light tone seemed to be a little gentler than usual.

“You’re still underage, so don’t drink any alcohol. Let’s celebrate your success in entering the school. After this meal, you have to adjust your mentality and prepare for the college entrance examination. Come on!”

As she spoke, she raised her glass.

Lou Che’s handsome face appeared much calmer. The gloominess in him faded a little. He had exquisite and beautiful facial features, deep eyes, and dark eyes. He was a quiet young man, like a beautiful young man who had walked straight out of a comic book.

Lou Che looked up at Ming Qianye for a long time with a complicated look in his eyes. Finally, his gaze stopped on the glass in her hand. He raised his own glass and clinked it with Ming Qianye’s. He said in a low voice, “Thank you.”

The siblings downed their drinks.

“I always thought you were having a hard time,”

Lou Che suddenly said in a low voice after a long time.

Ming Qianye was cutting her steak when she heard his words. She paused and looked at him. The light in her eyes swept across his face. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Why did you think so?”

Lou Che was a little stunned. He lowered his eyes and said, “When I was young, I passed by the plaza and saw you helping people clean up in the cafeteria… There was even a time when you were being scolded by a customer… You also had many part-time jobs and were working part-time in the school’s archive room… I also know that you used to live near the ice cream factory in the old town. That place was very dilapidated, so…”

Upon hearing this, Ming Qianye immediately sneered and said in surprise, “You know my life quite well. Did you specifically look for me?”

Lou Che didn’t answer.

Ming Qianye understood what was going on and sighed.

“Perhaps you’ll blame me for not going back to look for you all these years. After I left the Lou Family, I indeed had nowhere to go for a long time, but I still chose to persevere. After your father, Lou Zhiwen, laid his cards on the table with me, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to stay in the Lou Family for long. Moreover, he and Yang Li’s tactics were too cunning…”

At this point, Ming Qianye lowered her eyes and took a sip of soda before continuing, “Our mother was a good mother. She taught me to be independent since I was young, to be aware at all times, to have a sense of urgency, and to be vigilant even in times of peace. At that time, I watched them slowly invade the Lou family, while I was just a child who couldn’t do anything. You were even younger, a baby who didn’t know anything…”

“If I didn’t leave the Lou Family, what awaited me would have been a very miserable life. I might have been abandoned or used as a bargaining chip. Yang Li wanted to force me to marry her brother’s son. At that time, I was only in my teens… So, I have to leave. Only I could have saved myself… I couldn’t give up. No matter how difficult it was, I had to persevere because in the end, only I can truly save myself. Only by making yourself stronger can you make a change.”

When Ming Qianye said this, her eyes were very calm, but Lou Che could see the strength in her. She was tenacious, determined, and resolute.

“I didn’t think they’d do that…”

Lou Che was obviously shocked by Ming Qianye’s words. His eyes were filled with suppressed anger!

Wasn’t Yang Li’s nephew… a piece of trash?

He was ignorant, incompetent, good-for-nothing, and ugly. He had been appointed by Lou Zhiwen to be a Manager in DK. Later on, he was complained about for harassing female colleagues of the company by multiple people and the company punished him. But now, Lou Zhiwen still allowed him to stay as a security officer in the warehouse…

How could that kind of person be worthy of his sister?

Moreover, Ming Qianye was only in her teens at that time, and Yang Li already wanted to do this?

This sister of his had gone through far more hardships and sadness than he had imagined!

Thinking about it, at that time, how could a teen girl have the courage to fight back to that extent?

“You’re still young. There are some things that I really can’t explain to you clearly. Moreover, Lou Zhiwen is your father. For your sake, I can’t… But we still have a mother in common. I won’t ignore you. After going through this bumpy road, you have to be vigilant, watch out for yourself and look further into the future. A wise man’s strategy is to see the full picture, not just a pixel in front of you.”

Ming Qianye’s words were very sincere.

Lou Che’s small face also froze for a moment. There seemed to be some struggle and pain in his dark eyes. In the end, he could only close his eyes and take a deep breath. He forced back the redness in his eyes and said,
