Mianmian sat in He Nan's car; they were almost at the city.
She knew that Shen Jianhua and Zhou Lanfang would be waiting for her at the school gate, so she handed in her last test early and found the principal to let her out through the back door.
If she guessed correctly, her parents should still be waiting. They wouldn't leave until the school closed.
She took a deep breath and looked at He Nan, "Big Brother He, you've gone to quite some trouble for me today. After I went in, did they make a scene?"
Although she knew Shen Jianhua and Zhou Lanfang were the types to bully the weak and fear the strong, when it came to money, it was hard to say.
There's a saying that goes, "Men die for wealth, as birds die for food."
"It was okay," He Nan didn't seem to take the matter to heart, replying simply, "Living alone in the city might be uncomfortable at the start. Be prepared."
A warm feeling brushed Shen Mianmian's heart.
