Chapter 264 - 263: Casual Conversation
Fan Qianshu turned around and saw Fei Erya, smiled and said, "Yes, I went home last night, so I came early today. Did you just come back from outside? Didn’t stay at school last night?"
"I went to see Aunt Ding after school yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Fan Qianshu couldn’t help but ask, "How is Aunt?"
"Aunt Ding is fine, she looks in good spirits."
Fei Erya’s face was full of relief, and finally, she didn’t have to worry anymore.
"That’s good." Fan Qianshu breathed a sigh of relief, indicating he was also at ease.
But soon, Fan Qianshu looked at Fei Erya and asked in confusion, "This time, Yiyi and her mother have completely fallen out with the Shu Family. They might encounter various issues in the future, they need to be careful."
Upon hearing this, Fei Erya couldn’t help but laugh and say, "You don’t have to worry about that. Yiyi said the Shu Family doesn’t dare to make trouble anymore. This time Master Guo thoroughly punished Shu Qiang and also warned the head of the Shu Family. They definitely won’t act recklessly again."
Fan Qianshu’s eyes flashed upon hearing this.
He was previously puzzled that the Shu Family was willing to accept this loss, but now he understood the intricacies of the situation.
"Your good friend actually has a mentor, is that Master Guo really powerful? Is he the one who went to the island with you all?"
Speaking of Guo Ming, Fei Erya admired and said, "Yes, Master Guo went to Jidong Island with us last time, you should have seen him. Master Guo is really powerful. This time, he stood up for Yiyi, making the Shu Family not dare to say anything, so we don’t have to worry about Aunt Ding anymore."
"It seems that Master Guo is really formidable. Where is he from? What did he used to do?"
Fan Qianshu’s brows furrowed slightly. He really didn’t expect Mo Yiyi to have such a powerful person around her. When he saw Master Guo before, he didn’t think the man was particularly impressive. At most, he seemed to have good skills, but he didn’t expect him to have the ability to counterbalance the Shu Family.
Seeing Fan Qianshu’s interest in Guo Ming, Fei Erya asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you suddenly asking about Master Guo?"
"You might not understand the Shu Family, but I grew up in Shangjing and know the Shu Family well. Although they aren’t a prominent clan, they have considerable influence in Shangjing. Your good friend Mo Yiyi, even having Gu Tingyu as a partner, they aren’t engaged or married. The Gu Family can’t entirely stand up for her. I thought she would suffer a loss, but I didn’t expect the Shu Family to learn a lesson. So, Master Guo is truly exceptional, which makes me curious."
Upon hearing this, Fei Erya admired Guo Ming even more.
"It seems Master Guo is really remarkable."
Last night, she was very worried when Yiyi described what happened. Later, she heard Yiyi talk about Guo Ming’s prowess, and only then did she feel relieved. Moreover, it comforted her that Ding Yuejun was also protected.
Fan Qianshu and Fei Erya walked slowly together, and as they were about to reach the teaching building, Fan Qianshu casually remarked, "Even if this Master Guo is very capable, Aunt will still need to go out, right? I’m just afraid the Shu Family won’t give up and try their old tricks again, so next time you go back, make sure Aunt continues to be cautious."
"Don’t worry, there are people sent by Master Guo to protect Aunt Ding, so there won’t be any more problems."
Upon hearing Fei Erya’s words, Fan Qianshu paused, then smiled, "That’s great." At this point, they had already arrived in front of the teaching building, and since their classrooms were different, they waved goodbye to each other with a smile.
On the other side, Yiyi arrived at the classroom and quickly took out her textbook.
Tao Cuizhu sat next to Yiyi, her expression somewhat unpleasant. She couldn’t help but sigh and said, "An Xueqing and Feng Yudan are going to take leave again. They’ve quietly accepted a role in a new drama, and I heard they won’t even come home during this winter break."
Yiyi was quite surprised to hear this news.
"When did they accept the new drama?"
Speaking of this, Tao Cuizhu was frustrated.
"Don’t mention it, it was last weekend. They previously told us they were going shopping. Little did we know they were going for an interview, and only after it was confirmed did they tell us. We all live in the same dormitory, was it necessary to hide this from us?"
Cao Panpan was also a bit bothered by this matter. She spoke from the back row, "Yeah, if they were going for an interview, they could’ve just told us. Instead, they lied and hid it from us. Now, as they ask for leave, they can’t hide it anymore, so they told us. What’s the point?"
"Alright, class is about to start. Let’s not discuss this further."
Yiyi didn’t continue talking with the two of them; it wasn’t the time for chatting anyway.
Soon, the teacher entered the classroom, and An Xueqing and Feng Yudan hurriedly came in at this time.
"Be on time for class next time."
The teacher glanced at them and said, frowning.
An Xueqing and Feng Yudan hastily nodded.
After the morning classes ended, Feng Yudan invited the dorm mates to eat together at the cafeteria, "Today, Xueqing and I will serve the dishes, let’s have something delicious."
Upon hearing this, Tao Cuizhu said from the side, "No need, let’s each buy our own. Don’t let you spend too much."
Feng Yudan quickly replied, "Dorm leader, Xueqing and I rarely treat, please don’t refuse us. Besides, in two days, we’ll be off to shoot again, and it’ll be at least a week before we return."
At this time, An Xueqing also chimed in, "Yeah, dorm leader, let Yudan and me treat everyone to a meal. Moreover, the cafeteria isn’t expensive. Even if we order all meat dishes, it won’t cost much." She had received her pay from the last drama, and it was her first time earning money, so she was quite excited. Treating at the cafeteria today wasn’t a big deal to her.
Tao Cuizhu initially wanted to say something more, but Cao Panpan pulled her aside, "Alright then, let’s head to the cafeteria now."
Since Cao Panpan said this, Tao Cuizhu didn’t argue further, but during the meal, she couldn’t help but mention, "It’s not good to keep taking leave like this, you really might fall behind in your studies. Didn’t the teacher advise you against it, yet still approved your leave? Just don’t end up lacking the credits needed to graduate."
Hearing Tao Cuizhu bring this up again, An Xueqing frowned slightly, then said, "Don’t worry, dorm leader, we won’t fall behind and will definitely earn enough credits."
"As long as you know that."
Seeing the two were a bit annoyed, Yiyi quickly intervened before Tao Cuizhu spoke again. But for the rest of the meal, everyone ate in relative silence without much interaction.
Yiyi didn’t say much either, and after the meal, she went back to the dorm to rest with the others.
By Friday, Yiyi packed her things, ready to go home. However, as she stepped out of the school gate, she spotted a tall figure.
It was Gu Tingyu.
