Chapter 863:
Meeting Pete Again. So Many Familiar Faces
Once “Sister Jian” left Xu Zetian’s lips, Lin Wanru who had an arm holding the man turned around. She was an amazing wife who was loving and dutiful. Back when she heard of the accident that happened to Xu Zetian, she nearly got scared witless.
It was fortunate that Yun Jian managed to save Xu Zetian after that, so Lin Wanru was immensely grateful to the girl.
Xu Haozhe’s father called Yun Jian “Sister Jian”? He was referring to her as “sister”—why was that? After Shan Zihao tossed his ridiculous thought from just now out of his head, he was dumbfounded. He even felt like giving himself a slap.
How could Xu Haozhe’s father share an unchaste relationship with Yun Jian when he was calling her “Sister Jian” so reverently? Moreover, what Lin Wanru did after this proved the point too. Xu Zetian could already walk without help, so when Lin Wanru saw Yun Jian, she let go of Xu Zetian’s arm and went to the girl.
Looking at Yun Jian, she asked her in a very respectful tone, “It’s you? Do you know my son, Zhe’er?”
Before Yun Jian could answer, Xu Haozhe was already asking Lin Wanru with confusion in his expression, “Mom, she’s my friend’s younger sister.”
The woman had brought Yun Jian’s hand into hers in a kind manner and told her amiably, “I see. Thank you so much for what you did back then. It’s a wonderful surprise that you’re the younger sister of Zhe’er’s friend...”
Lin Wanru rattled on thanking Yun Jian but other than Xu Zetian, everyone there was at a loss about the exchange. They had no idea what was happening. Despite that, they could make out the general picture; Yun Jian had most probably helped Lin Wanru and Xu Zetian big time.
No matter what they guessed, however, no one in the group would have guessed that Yun Jian was Xu Zetian’s boss and she had saved him from the brink of death back when he was deadly injured. That was a life-saving favor!
Lin Wanru held Yun Jian’s hand as she continued thanking her. Yun Jian nodded rather coolly until there was an announcement from the PA system.
“Students, please make your way to the competition venue. The foreign languages competition is about to begin!”
Yun Yi and Xu Haozhe quickly went to the competition area once they heard that the contest was starting.
“Dad, mom, Yun Jian, come with us. The competition will start a while later. You can watch us compete,” Xu Haozhe explained before he and Yun Yi led the way toward the competition area. Yun Jian went along.
The crowd at the competition area was smaller compared to the junior high school crowd but there were still a lot of people moving around.
Not too long after Yun Jian stood at the new spot, she caught another familiar face as she raked her eyes through the area. Mr. Pete?
From a distance away, Pete seemed to be walking alongside Principal Zhang of Foreign Languages High School as they talked. Principal Zhang looked deferent toward Pete while the latter had his hands behind him. Pete had a supple complexion and looked faintly charming with his tall, straight nose, looking like a biracial person.
Mr. Pete was the Grand Thief who had stolen the antique from Zhe Province the last time. What was the situation? Was he stealing his way to the school?
Yun Jian narrowed her eyes.
Pete was still walking next to Principal Zhang with a serious mien. It was right after making a turn that he caught sight of Yun Jian who was squinting at him. Taking a large step while he spotted Yun Jian, Pete tripped over the air and twisted his left foot.
Good gracious! What kind of coincidence was this? Why was this girl here as well?
