Cheng Qianqian and her servant didn't realize that behind a shrub in the northwest corner, there was a man dressed in black, sitting in a luxurious wheelchair. Behind him were several personal attendants, and beside them stood a handsome man dressed in white.
The man in black had a handsome face, sharp brows, bright eyes, and emitted a cold aura. He was none other than the legendary God of War, Si Yehan.
He gripped the armrest of his wheelchair and narrowed his eyes as he stared at the two disappearing figures.
"This young lady is quite interesting. She knows how to strut in borrowed plumes." The young man in white said with a smile.
"General, this Cheng Qianqian seems different from the results of our investigation."
The Si family was afraid that Si Yehan wouldn't have long to live, so they searched everywhere for suitable girls in an attempt to extend his bloodline. Si Yehan scoffed at this practice. But who knew that the head steward came back yesterday and reported that he'd already chosen a few suitable girls at the Firth Royal College?
Today, Si Yehan initially came over to inform the school to send those girls away, but he chanced upon the scene at the canteen.
Cheng Qianqian was the daughter that the Cheng Corporation had just found. She was rumored to be an ugly and uneducated good-for-nothing, yet she managed to intimidate Qi Xuanxuan with just a few words and even looked righteous at that. Even the eccentric Teacher Xue praised her extensively.
More importantly, her figure and voice resembled the woman from that night!
His well-defined fingers tapped on the armrest of the wheelchair, making thumping sounds. His deep and dark eyes were like bottomless pits, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
After a long silence, Si Yehan slowly said, "Investigate!"
"Yes, General!"
"Also, I want to know all her movements on the night of the 5th, down to every single minute!"
The attendant was stunned. He knew what had happened on the night of the 5th. Was the general suspecting that the person was… Cheng Qianqian?
When he thought about how that kind of woman was actually with Si Yehan… the attendant couldn't help but gulp and feel pity for the general.
"Yes, I will do it right away!"
"Why, do you really like her?" The young man in white raised his brows. He had also heard about the Si family aggressively selecting wives for Si Yehan.
However, a normal person would never fall for a woman like Cheng Qianqian, right? Even though she was very talented, that face was really hard to look at!
Si Yehan rolled his eyes at him. "You talk too much!"
The young man in white shrugged. "It can't be helped. I usually have to pretend to be cold and aloof. There are too few people I can talk to. I have to talk more and make up for it whenever I catch you."
In the afternoon, it was music lesson.
Beside the eastern lake of the school, a gentle breeze blew over and the willow trees swayed. Every student in the class had an ancient zither to themselves. They sat on the ground and the sound of the zither lingered.
It was Cheng Qianqian's first day in class and she did not prepare a zither. Yu Xuan suggested sharing it with her. Cheng Qianqian was not interested in playing the zither, so she sat by the side and watched.
It had been almost half a month since she had come here from the countryside. Before she left, the villagers had gathered some money for her, and the money has been mostly spent now. Now, she was only relying on the little salary that Lan earned as a servant in the Cheng family. It would not be easy for her to gain a foothold in this big city.
Cheng Qianqian frowned. She had to study now, so how could she earn money? If only she could earn money in school!
