‘The next morning, when Mo Zhu opened her eyes slightly, she saw Huo Xuan’s enlarged face appear in front of her.

Thinking of what happened before she fainted last night, she frowned slightly and moved her body.

She didn’t expect Huo Xuan to wake up as well. Seeing that Mo Zhu had woken up, the man touched the girl’s hand worriedly and explained what had happened yesterday.

After hearing Huo Xuan’s explanation, Mo Zhu already understood what had happened. She rubbed her glabella and nodded. “My period hasn’t been here for the past two days. It should be because the river water was too cold yesterday morning. Don’t worry, this isn’t a big deal.”

After saying this, Mo Zhu didn’t bother about what happened between her and Huo Xuan last night. She stood up, washed up, and went downstairs to eat.

In order to take better care of Mo Zhu, Huo Xuan had sent someone to deliver breakfast today. It was only when he set up the cutlery and wanted to get the rest to eat that Huo Xuan realized that Old Guo had already left. The house that the old man had stayed in had been cleaned thoroughly by him. Not a

single piece of paper was left behind, it looked just like before he had moved in.

After telling Mo Zhu about this, the girl nodded in understanding. The short conversation between the two of them on the balcony last night was already considered goodbye. Old Guo had always been the type to leave as and when he liked. This was in line with his usual style.

After breakfast, Uncle Zhang drove the car to the courtyard of the Huo residence and waited for the few of them to get into the car. Jiang Yu and Kang Wan were so excited for school that once the car arrived, they carried their backpacks and sat in the last row.

A few minutes later, Huo Xuan opened the car door with his briefcase and got into the car. Seeing that the entire car was waiting for Mo Zhu alone, Kang Wan took out her phone angrily and glanced at the time before saying unhappily, “Brother Xuan, quickly ask when that girl will be able to come out. It’s

Monday and there is a flag-raising ceremony. If we don’t leave now, we’ll be late!”

‘When Huo Xuan heard this, his cold gaze instantly swept across Kang Wan, who was in the back row. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Jiang Yu’s voice sounded from behind him. “If you don’t want to sit in the car, you can get lost.”

‘When she said this, the girl’s cold eyes stared at Kang Wan ruthlessly as if they were filled with poison, scaring Kang Wan so much that she trembled unconsciously.

Kang Wan had a simple understanding of Jiang Yu after she moved into the Huo residence yesterday. She was just sent to the Zhong family after she left Qingyuan Village with Mo Zhu.

Because of this, she had never taken this girl seriously. She did not expect Jiang Yu to dare to speak to her like this this morning. What was even more strange was that she, the daughter of the Kang family in Beijing, was actually frightened by the cold gaze of a country bumpkin.

No! She definitely could not lose. As Mo Zhu was Brother Xuan’s fiancée, she could not touch her. Could this mere country bumpkin turn the tables?

As she thought of this, an inexplicable anger welled up in Kang Wan’s heart. She berated angrily, “It was clearly that girl, Mo Zhu, who is interrupting everyone’s time. I just kindly asked Brother Xuan to remind her. Why should I get out of the car?”

After a pause, Kang Wan saw that Jiang Yu was expressionless and unmoved. She then raised her eyebrows and added, “Besides, what kind of tone was that when you spoke to me just now? Why didn’t you take a piss and look in the mirror to identify yourself? Are you even worthy of chasing me out of the

car?”

“shut up.” Hearing Kang Wan’s words, a cold glint flashed across Jiang Yu’s eyes. If not for the two people sitting in the front row, she would definitely make this woman who slandered Sister Mo speechless for the rest of her life!

Seeing that Jiang Yu still dared to provoke her, Kang Wan could not hold back anymore. She raised her voice and criticized strangely, “Hey, hey, if I don’t teach you a lesson, you really think I’m easy to bully, right? That’s right, I heard that you and that girl, Mo Zhu, grew up in a remote mountainous area.

That’s not surprising, What good things can a child raised in that kind of place have?”

Just as Kang Wan finished speaking, before she could continue mocking her, Jiang Yu grabbed her collar.

Jiang Yu grabbed the girl’s collar ruthlessly. Her pupils constricted and she exuded a cold murderous aura. “I dare you to criticize Sister Mo again.”

At this moment, Kang Wan’s collar was clenched tightly by Jiang Yu, and a glaring blood mark instantly appeared on her neck. She was so agitated that her blood vessels suddenly protruded and she panted heavily… “You!”
