Chapter 781 The Battle for the Shower Gel
“Alright, good boy. I was just joking. Sleep. Goodnight.” Bo Xiao smiled and stroked An Rao’s hair.
“Hmph.” An Rao snorted softly and rolled back into Bo Xiao’s arms.
In the An family, Father An and Mother An waited for a day but did not receive any reply from An Rao.
Father An, who had always been used to being obeyed, was angered by his daughter again. “Look at what you gave birth to. Her style is not proper and her actions are not right. Those people in my hometown mock me behind my back whenever An Rao is mentioned. Do you know that?!”
Back then, after Mother An got pregnant, the An family had gotten someone to check the gender of the fetus. The two of them had never wanted to give birth to An Rao, but in the end, because Father An was a politician, and it was the critical period for his promotion at that time, so Father An could not take the lead in doing such a thing that violated the policy. Hence, An Rao was born.
The quota of one child per family was used by An Rao just like that. It was her lifelong regret that Mother An did not give birth to a son. When An Rao slowly grew up and her temper was not disciplined, Mother An would be even more strict with her.
Now, because of An Rao, they were still being mocked behind her back even though they were already so old. At home, Father An kept blaming her for not knowing how to give birth. Mother An was furious, but she could not refute him.
“Just treat it as if I didn’t give birth to this daughter. Fortunately, An Lin is hardworking. I heard from An Lin that she is now very close to a professor at Qing University. That professor even brought her to Qing University for classes. She even met a classmate who said that he’s from the Wei family.” Seeing that her husband’s expression was getting worse, Mother An wanted to say something to make him happy.
As expected, Father An’s interest was piqued when he heard about the Wei family. “The Wei family? Lin’er is indeed outstanding. The people she knows are also very outstanding. Ask her to get along with them properly. If she needs money or anything, just get it from

me.”
“Okay.” Seeing her husband’s expression turn from gloomy to sunny, Mrs. An sighed in her heart. Why isn’t An Lin my biological daughter?
The next morning, just as the sky lit up, the alarm beside Xia Wanyuan’s bed rang.
Xia Wanyuan yawned and wanted to turn off the alarm when Jun Shiling, who was hugging her, reached out to press the alarm.
Xia Wanyuan lifted the blanket and was about to get up when Jun Shiling pulled her back.
“Grandpa is getting discharged today. I’ll accompany him back to the courtyard and pick you up tonight.”
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. After returning from America, Xia Wanyuan had gone to visit Old Master once. His recovery was very good. Old Master knew that she was busy, so he tried not to let her go over. Now that he was discharged, it was time for her to go and check on him.

“Mom, do you think Xia Wanyuan will take this opportunity to look for Master Danny?” In the hotel, Li Na had woken up very early. Thinking that she was going to Qing University today, she felt a little uneasy.
“So what if she did?” Lin Man was very calm. “You have to know that there’s nothing in this world that money can’t settle. Don’t worry, even if she did, Mommy has a way to make her never open her mouth.”
Li Na had always trusted Lin Man. Hearing Lin Man’s words, Li Na was relieved.
“Miss Li Na, Master Danny asked me to ask if you’re ready. The car sent by the Qing University has arrived.”
“I’m ready. I’ll go down now.” Li Na picked up her bag and kissed Lin Man on both her cheeks before leaving the house.
At the Qing entrance, the stone lion stood tall with a ribbon around its neck. The students stood on both sides with fresh flowers in their hands, looking forward to this legendary master of the international painting industry.

“Come, Professor Xia, take this flower and give it to Master Danny later.” As the person in charge of the Qing University’s looks, things like giving flowers had already been tacitly handed to Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan took the flowers. “Okay.”
Such exchange procedures had detailed schedules. According to the plan, the car that was sent should be back at half-past nine. However, the school leader looked at his watch. It was already ten o’clock, but the car was still not back.
The originally enthusiastic students seemed a little dispirited.
Another hour and a half passed. It was more than an hour away from half-past nine, the originally agreed timing. The team began to discuss.
“Hey, they’re here, they’re here. Isn’t that the car our school sent out?” Suddenly, a sharp-eyed person noticed the car driving towards the school gate.
