Qiao Nian left the school through the tree-lined path from the teaching building.
She saw a black Mercedes-Benz as soon as she reached the school gate. It looked like it had been waiting for a long time.
Pretending not to see it, Qiao Nian pulled down her cap impatiently, narrowed her dark eyes, and continued walking.
"Miss Qiao, wait a minute." The door of the Mercedes-Benz opened. The chauffeur got out and quickly called out to her.
Silence.
Finding the voice familiar, Qiao Nian slowed down and turned to look.
The chauffeur was in his early fifties. Looking upright in a formal suit, his face was cold and stern as he jogged towards her.
"Miss Qiao, Elder Ye is waiting for you in the car."
He smiled and was respectful, revealing a hint of intimacy.
Qiao Nian recognized him as the chauffeur who followed Old Master Ye around. She nodded and walked back. "Does Old Master Ye need me for something?"
