Chapter 1577: Chapter 918: Old Classmates Reunited (2)

"Xiao Ning must be quite the young man now, right? I probably wouldn’t recognize him even if I saw him..." Wen Jie said while reaching out to help Li Xiaoyan with her bag, "Come on, I’ll go with you to see him. I wonder if he still recognizes me as his sister."

Li Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Would it interfere with your plans?"

"You know my old habit, I get carsick on long trips. My husband just started his job, and I need to rest for a couple more days. Besides, nothing’s more important than you right now. We haven’t seen each other for five years; finally, we meet, and I can’t just let you run off."

Wen Jie said this while grabbing Li Xiaoyan’s arm, "After we deliver the stuff to Xiao Ning, let’s have a good chat. I don’t even know what you’re doing now; I just heard you’re making lots of money and supporting the family quite a bit."

"Making lots of money? Just a bit of good luck, decent salary, which allows me to help the family..." Li Xiaoyan sighed, "You don’t even have to say it; I know whatever you heard can’t be pleasant."

"I’ve never believed it..." Wen Jie raised her hand as if swearing, "Really, I’ve always believed in you, no matter what others say. I don’t think you’re that kind of person."

No wonder the parents resorted to those methods. Wen Jie was never one to lie, so if she says this, it represents that the rumors from her hometown are truly unbearable.

Growing up in the countryside with kind parents, what kind of torment have they been through over the years? For them to last until now and only just begin to urge her to marry, it must not have been easy.

Perhaps, if she truly wants her parents to be stress-free, she must hurry up and find a boyfriend; otherwise, the rumors could ruin her parents!

"Xiaoyan..." Observing Li Xiaoyan’s expression, Wen Jie seemed a bit anxious, "Don’t take it to heart. Those who speak ill are all envious.

Think about it, those from the village who got into college don’t earn as much as you do, so naturally, they’d feel uneasy. If you truly get angry, you’d be falling for their tricks, don’t you think so?"

"Alright, you don’t need to comfort me." Li Xiaoyan smiled wryly and took a deep breath, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. Thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Wen Jie looked puzzled, "Just a few words to comfort you, and I’m thanked? Xiaoyan, you don’t have to be so formal between us."

"No..." Li Xiaoyan hurriedly explained, "I’m thanking you for telling me the truth, so I know how to act going forward."

"Really?"

"Really!"

While speaking, the two went up to the second floor. Li Xiaoyan glanced around and turned right, "Xiao Ning lives in 202." She said while knocking on the door.

A young man wearing glasses opened the door, "Who are you looking for?"

Li Xiaoyan smiled slightly, "I’m Li Xiaoning’s sister; is he living here?"

"Sis!" Li Xiaoning quickly appeared at the door, "I’m here." He said, looking at the man with glasses, "Teacher Wang, this is my big sister Li Xiaoyan."

"Hello, come in and sit." The man smiled shyly and stepped aside at the door.

"Wang Qiayu, is it you?" Wen Jie suddenly said.

"I’m Wang Qiayu; may I ask who you are?" The man pushed his glasses up, carefully scrutinizing Wen Jie, looking puzzled.

"I’m Wen Jie; we were classmates in the repeat class back then."

With Wen Jie’s words, the man glanced unnaturally at the three students sitting in the room, his face quickly reddening to the neck.

Wen Jie’s temperament really hasn’t changed at all, Li Xiaoyan silently rubbed her forehead and changed the topic, "Teacher Wang, thank you for taking care of my younger brother. I’m here to deliver some things for him to take back; is that okay?"

Wang Qiayu nodded repeatedly, "No problem, no problem."

"Xiao Ning, do you still recognize me?" Wen Jie shifted her gaze to Li Xiaoning, "I used to visit your house often, do you remember me?"

Li Xiaoning smiled shyly, "Sister Wen Jie." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

"You still recognize me?" Wen Jie delightedly pinched Li Xiaoning’s cheek, "No wonder sister liked you back then. Tell me, what do you want? Sister will buy it for you."

"No need, I’m not lacking anything." Li Xiaoning thought for a moment, looking at Wang Qiayu, "Teacher, I want to have a few words with my sister. Can I go out for a while?"

"Sure, go ahead." Wang Qiayu glanced at the time, "Just be back before ten tonight." He said, then looked at the other two girls in the room, "If you want to go out for a walk too, I can accompany you. Want to go?"

"Thank you, teacher!" The two girls thanked in unison, naturally indicating they wanted to go out, Wang Qiayu’s face showed a slight awkwardness, "But I’m not too familiar with this area, we’ll just have to walk nearby."
