Chapter 1073 - Their New Lives (2/2)

Xia Mo put down her spoon and looked incredulously at Xia Yanran. “B-Biological brother?”

“That’s right.”

Xia Mo stuck out her tongue with regret. “I thought… Oh no, I complained about him behind his back. Will he expose my dirt?”

Xia Yanran. “What dirt?”

Xia Mo waved her hand. “N-Nothing.”

…

After breakfast, Granny Niu, whose body was feeling better, wanted to see the new school. Today was the new school’s opening ceremony and there were various activities held there.

Last night, Junyuan had found out that the school was donated by Xiao Yi and he in fact aided many students.

When Grandma Niu suggested to go and have a look, he said nothing and took her over with Wen Qian and Xia Yanran.

Junyuan had nothing much to say about Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi was loyal, and when he was with Yanran, he was good to her too. If he was not of that background, Junyuan would not object to him being with Yanran.

When they arrived at the school, it was just in time for the opening ceremony.

Xiao Yi stood beside the princ.i.p.al. He was wearing a black coat, his posture upright and was wearing a black turtleneck inside, looking low-key and elegant. When he was serious, he did not look like he was from the mafia. His actions and speech were stable and proper, and one could find no flaws.

Grandma Niu was full of praises for Xiao Yi. If it were not him, the children in the mountains could not even go to school.

Xia Yanran looked at Xiao Yi on stage and a warm feeling was pouring out from her chest. It was a feeling of honor to hear him being praised by others.

She did not know if her gaze was too heated, the man who was talking to the princ.i.p.al with a slight smile, suddenly looked over at her.

There was still a faint smile on his lips and his well-defined face under the sun was handsome and charming. Xia Yanran could not look away in time and their eyes met.

But very soon, he retracted his gaze and did not look at her anymore.

After the opening ceremony, the students performed in the auditorium. Several performances later, Xia Yanran stood up to go to the washroom.

Coming out of the auditorium, Xia Yanran found the washroom. After coming out, she was about to go back when she saw a familiar figure from the corner of her eye.

He stood at an inconspicuous spot outside the auditorium smoking, and in front of him stood a young girl.

Xia Yanran had heard Xia Mo mention that there seemed to be a young girl in the school who was aided by him and was interested in him.

Knowing clearly that she should not eavesdrop, Xia Yanran stopped in her tracks.

“Mr Xiao, are you leaving here in the afternoon?” The girl looked at Xiao Yi, her eyes full of reluctance. Xiao Yi concentrated on the cigarette at his fingertips and he hummed coldly in reply.

“I’m going back to the university too, can I leave with you this afternoon?”

Xiao Yi raised his eyes and looked at the girl. Suddenly, he saw a slender figure from the corner of his eye. He pursed his lips and hummed again in reply.

The girl was thrilled and a smile appeared on her lips. “Thank you, Mr Xiao.”

Xia Yanran did not want to listen anymore so she turned and returned to the auditorium.

Junyuan saw that Xia Yanran did not look so good after coming back and asked gently, “What’s wrong?”

Xia Yanran tried to control her emotions. She knew clearly that they had nothing to do with each other and what he did was none of her business. She also had a new life herself.

But why did she feel so uncomfortable?
