Chapter 257

“Assistant, what assistant?”

Qin Tiantian was also taken aback, but after glancing at the girl in front of her a few times, she quickly realized.

“Are you Miss Liu Qinnuan?”

“Yes, it’s me.” Liu Qinnuan took off her mask, and Qin Tiantian was surprised and covered her mouth.

“It’s really you! You must be looking for Xu Lin. I won’t disturb you any longer.”

“No, no, I’m looking for you.”

Xu Lin realized that Liu Qinnuan must have seen Qin Tiantian riding a bicycle earlier.

“Um, you both should go inside and talk.”

“Oh, right, let’s go inside.”

Liu Qinnuan told Qin Tiantian this, who then looked at Xu Lin and nodded before returning to the room.

Once Liu Qinnuan entered, she saw Xu Lin’s parents and quickly walked over, giving a slight bow.

“Hello, Uncle and Aunt.”

“Hello, Miss Liu.”

“Just call me Qinnuan. I brought a small gift.” She handed over the bag she was holding, and Li Yuan waved her hand politely.

“Just accept it, and have a seat.”

They sat down in the living room. While Liu Qinnuan appeared very graceful and courteous, Xu Lin noticed that she occasionally fidgeted by grabbing her arm or thigh. She seemed somewhat nervous, but Qin Tiantian appeared even more uncomfortable, keeping her head down and remaining silent.

“Ahem, Liu Qinnuan, do you have something to discuss with Sister Qin?”

“Are you two very familiar?”

“Oh... She’s the daughter of my uncle’s family.”

“I see. That’s perfect. I’m actually looking for an assistant recently. I saw you on the street earlier and thought your qualifications were quite good.”

“No, no, I’m not fit to be your assistant. I’m sorry, I have to go now.”

Saying this, she immediately stood up, waved her hand, and walked out the door.

Seeing her leave in such a hurry, Liu Qinnuan wondered if she had been too eager and frightened her.

“We’ll talk about her later. Let’s eat first.”

“Alright.” Although Liu Qinnuan wasn’t very hungry, it wouldn’t be polite not to eat something at this time.

“Uncle and Aunt, please sit.”

Liu Qinnuan, showing her thoughtfulness, pulled out chairs for Xu Lin’s parents, making them a bit taken aback.

“What kind of drink would you like? Is pure fruit juice okay? Other drinks have higher sugar content.”

“Sure, orange juice?”

“Okay.”

Xu Lin brought out the dishes, and Liu Qinnuan followed to get the bowls and chopsticks, highlighting her diligence.

“She seems quite similar to Ji Yun, doesn’t she?” Li Yuan whispered to her husband. She was quite pleased with the girl.

Seeing her insistence, Xu Lin chose not to argue further. Honestly, if not for Qin Tiantian’s past, she seemed quite suitable for the role of an assistant.

“Of course. Also, I believe someone who has experienced hardship will respect me more if I treat her well.”

“That’s true, but don’t be impulsive. It’s better to discuss and understand each other before making a decision.”

“Then help make the introduction.”

“Alright, but I won’t be involved. You two can talk.”

“Good, at least that’s half of the issue resolved.”

With that, Liu Qinnuan let out a deep breath and stretched.

“By the way, you seem to be quite close to that Sister Qin, right?”

“Huh? What are you talking about? She’s Teacher Su’s close friend. I’m just familiar with Teacher Su, so you’re saying we’re close?”

“You might fool others, but you can’t deceive me. You definitely have private contact with her.”

This statement left Xu Lin stunned; he had been careful all day and hadn’t done anything odd.

“So, Miss Liu, you should speak with evidence.”

“Remember when we had barbecue, we ordered ten bottles of drinks?”

“Mm.”

“You intentionally ordered two bottles that weren’t chilled and gave them to Sister Qin.”

“Um... Is there a problem with that?”

“See, you’ve exposed it! You know her menstrual cycle! Isn’t that an issue?”

“Sister Qin told us about her menstrual cycle when we were soaking in the hot springs. Teacher Su wouldn’t tell you about her cycle, would she?”

Liu Qinnuan raised one hand, mimicking Conan’s pose, “The truth is only one!”

“Sister Qin told me. She was chatting with Teacher Su, and I overheard.”

“I don’t believe it.”

“If you don’t believe it, that’s fine. I just know about her health situation. I can’t ignore it; we’re friends.”

“Forget it!”

Liu Qinnuan pouted, and Xu Lin’s phone rang. He quickly answered.

“Senior Bai? Is something wrong?”

“Xu Lin... I... I forgot!”

“Forgot? You forgot about Uncle Bai?!” Xu Lin was taken aback.

“No, no, I forgot to bring back the little cat I rescued!”

“Really? There was such a thing?!”
