Xuxu pressed her lips and remained mum .
“All right, I’m leaving . ” Xin Yanting spun around and took big strides towards the entrance .
She stormed her way in and out .
Listening to the ‘thudding’ sounds her heels produced made Xuxu burst out into laughter .
She stood there and sipped her water .
“Sister Xuxu, is the arrogant lady finally gone?”
Li Qian appeared behind her .
Xuxu turned around and nodded . “Yup, she left in less than five minutes . ”
Li Qian grinned . “I heard her voice upstairs and I tried to rush down after settling some urgent stuff . But in the end, I still wasn’t able to see her . ”
Xuxu sharply reminded her . “Alright, don’t gossip about her anymore . Her eyes will murder you on the spot . ”
She ascended the stairs with Li Qian trailing behind her .
“Sister Xuxu, do you know Professor Zhao?” asked Li Qian .
“Professor Zhao?” Xuxu had taken a moment before she remembered . “Is his name Zhao Zheng?”
The only professor she knew with that surname was Zhao Zheng . If not, it would be his father .
Li Qian nodded . “During our classmates’ gathering, we invited Professor Zhao along . He mentioned that he was friends with Flourish & Prosper’s President and his wife . ”
‘This Zhao Zheng . ’
Xuxu smiled . “Yes, we were high school classmates . ”
From her understanding of Li Qian’s character, she probably had many questions up her sleeves . She glanced at her watch; it was almost 2 p . m .
Su Yue was having her last exam this afternoon, and it should end by 3:30 p . m .
She interjected, “Li Qian, I have something to attend to . Contact me if you need me later . ”
She was planning to buy some food for Su Yue, and she should be just in time to fetch her if she left early .
Su Yue had been studying hard to prepare for her college exams . Xuxu was planning to take her out for a good meal to celebrate .
Li Qian swallowed her questions and nodded .
Xuxu left after retrieving her bag .
Anxious parents were all waiting outside the school and Xuxu parked by the roadside . She opened her umbrella and put on a pair of sunglasses before she squeezed into the crowd .
Some parents were familiar faces .
As usual, people could recognize her . “Third Madam Yan, are you here to fetch your sister?”
Xuxu politely smiled . “Yes, I am . ”
The parent glanced at her watch . “It’s about time . ”
Xuxu smiled to herself .
It was a sweltering day and the temperature was over 30 degrees . Xuxu was drenched in sweat as she stood in the crowd . She realized that pregnant women were sensitive to heat .
Before, the heat didn’t bother her .
She began to dab her face with a tissue as she waited .
Students started to stream out and the crowd of parents anxiously rushed forward . The first words they asked were, “How was it?”
“Third sister-in-law!”
Xuxu finally saw Su Yue . The little girl was clad in a pale blue tee-shirt paired with white pants . She was wearing pink sandals, and she looked like a young child . If one didn’t know her real age, she could pass off as a middle-school student .
Xuxu rushed towards her and used the umbrella to shelter her from the relentless sun . “You must be tired . Let’s head to the car and eat something . ”
She held Su Yue’s wrist .
