Chapter 23 - Chapter 23

As if to notice David's eyes, he slightly bent the Angle of his lips and confirmed David: "But it does smell good."

After all, it is the fragrance of money.

David immediately laughed, "Then you can stay at my place and take a bath every day!"

Nada said vaguely, "We'll see."

David took it as a yes and felt good.

At school, not long after Nada sat down, Mignon looked for her.

Nada was not surprised.

Mignon said to her, "Your uncle called me yesterday and said you didn't come home that night. Where have you been?"

Nada could share her suspicions with David, but not with Mignon, and only David would believe her.

She lowered her eyes, looked at her toes, was silent for a moment, and then answered, "I went to David's house to sleep for the night."

Mignon said, "So, you had a fight with your family?"

Nada looked up into Mignon's caring eyes, her heart warming, and replied, "No noise."

Mignon said: "The teacher also has no children, has long regarded you as their own children, if there are difficulties, be sure to tell me, whether it is economic, or life, can tell me, can help I will certainly help."

She thought she had made it obvious, but seeing Nada had no reaction, she couldn't help herself and continued, "... If your family doesn't let you go to college and the teachers have money, they don't pay for you to go to college, the teachers pay for you to go to school."

With that, she opened the drawer, took out a letter, and handed it to Nada, "I have always wanted to give you this money, but I have been unable to find the opportunity, there are still two months before the exam, you don't need to think about anything else, as long as you focus on the goal is enough."

Nada was surprised. "No, Sir," she said, "I have money."

Mignon said: "I know you have money, but this is a mind of the teacher, if you can be admitted to Harvard, the teacher's face also has light, very face, go out to meet people can say that there is a student in my class admitted to Harvard this year, others look, hey, someone in your class admitted to Harvard, then you as a teacher is still very good, my child must put your class to study." Look, I got a reputation for being a teacher, didn't I? All thanks to you, this money as publicity expenses, when I take you out to brag, you don't lose your temper."

As she spoke, she laughed herself.

Nada laughed and joked, "What if I don't get in?"

Mignon said: "That is impossible, you are now the result of Harvard is very stable, sure can not take a Harvard, this Harvard, you know the city, the school will give you how much bonus?" I went to ask, the city gave you 150,000, our school has money, the principal let go, promised to give you 500,000, a total of 650,000, buy a suite is enough?"

Nada's calm face suddenly stirred. "So much?"

Mignon laughed, "Yes, so you must do well in the exam, you don't need to think about anything else, if you have a quarrel with your family, I will go to your parents, you live in my home, just because I am the only one in my family, and I can give you lessons."

When Nada heard Mignon's words, she finally had some hope in her heart. She had always known that there was a bonus for the first session of the exam, but she had no idea that Harvard could get so much money.

As long as there is money, then all her problems will indeed no longer be a problem.

Nada was filled with infinite hope. She did not accept Mignon's money, but said with a very serious expression, "I will get in."

Mignon knew how stubborn Nada was when she was a high school student, so she did not force her to collect money, she said to her with the same expression seriously: "I am your teacher, they say that a teacher is a father for life, no matter what happens, the teacher is on your side, so if something happens, you must think more about the teacher."

Nada's eyes lit up and she said solemnly, "I know."

Walking out of the office, Nada dropped her eyes and smiled slowly.

David, who was standing in the hallway, was struck by her smile and went into cardiac arrest.

A little giddy thought --

Damn, his wife has a pretty smile.

*

Nada looked up and saw David. The corners of her lips slowly fell back to their original place. Although she did not continue to smile, her expression became visibly lighter.

David snorted, "I'm waiting for you."

"Let's go," Nada said.

David couldn't help but ask, "What were you laughing at?"

Nada looked at him. "Am I smiling?"

David said, "That's a smile! What a nice smile! You should smile more often."

"I'm trained not to smile," Nada said.

David: "... What kind of professional training?"

Nada: "Agent training?"

"..." David said, "Don't play that joke on me. I saw through your lie a long time ago and I won't fall for it again!"

Nada said, "Oh, not 'again.'"

David: "..."

Nada curled her lips and laughed.

Her eyes arc clear and round, once laughed, will bend into a pair of crescent shape, especially beautiful, the whole handsome and calm face seems to be lit up by this smile, become lively.

David never thought he would see such a clear smile again. For a moment, he felt an indescribable sense of excitement and happiness. "You really look nice when you smile," he murmured.

Nada looked at him with a frozen look on her face. For some reason, she was strangely embarrassed. She slowly stopped smiling, took one look at David and said, "Go back to class."

David answered, still a little out of his mind, and then a rough sound brought him back from heaven.

"Nada! You made it easy for me to find!" Mason suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs, staring at Nada with anger on his face.

David subconsciously stood in front of Nada and asked in a bad tone, "Who are you? ?"

Mason glared at him. 'Who am I? I'm his uncle!"

His loud voice immediately attracted the attention of many students.

When David heard this, he protected Nada more tightly. "Yes, why are you so loud? Who are you scaring?"

Mason ignored David. He strode over to get Nada. "You're coming home with me! Hurry up!"

David stops him. "What are you doing? Don't talk nonsense!"

Mason said angrily, "Get out of here! I'm talking to my niece, and I won't have you interrupting!"

David is much taller and stronger than Mason, and it is easy to protect a Nada, so Mason can't touch Nada's coat in any way.

David didn't like Mason's words, so he started to quarrel with him, "I butted in." We have a class later. What do you mean, you want her home? You don't pull, I told you you don't want to hit her ah, if domestic violence I immediately call the police!"

At this time, Asma panted and climbed up, complaining: "Which floor is not good, but on the fifth floor, I am tired!"

She had not even taken a breath when she saw Nada being protected and refused to come out, and could not help crying, "Nada, you hurry and come home with us, your grandmother is ill, I will take you to see her."

Mason stopped his hand and said in a rough voice, "Yes, your grandmother is ill. Pack up and go with you and me to see your grandmother."

Nada tugged at David's sleeve and leaned half her face away from him. She looked quietly at Mason and Asma. "I'm not going," she said.

Asma said angrily, "Your grandmother loved you since childhood, and you didn't go to see her when she was sick. Your heart has grown white?"

The couple quarrel, more and more students in the corridor, looking at their eyes are also full of curiosity and inquiry.

Nada said, "Can I come back if I go?"

"What do you mean by that? Just to take you to see grandma, why can't you come back?"
