3077 Old Master Ye Is Here Looking for Sister Nian
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 carly fiftics. 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. ‘Docs Old Master Ye need me for something?”
The chauffeur led the way and replied, “I don’t know about that. He went to Young Master Ye’s place to look for you and Gu San said you came to school. He waited for you outside Qing University for more than half an hour. It’s probably for something important.”
“Mm, Qiao Nian replied.
They walked back to the car in the blink of an eye, and the chauffeur opened the door for her. ‘Miss Qiao, please get in.’
As expected, Qiao Nian saw the old man sitting inside.
Ye Maoshan was wearing his favorite Chinese tunic suit today, looking upright, and energetic. Upon seeing her,
a loving look appeared in his wise eyes as he smiled and waved at her. “Come, Nian Nian. It’s hot outside. Hurry up and get into the car?”
It was almost July, so it was indeed hot in Beijing.
The heat waves made the cicadas sleepy, and only a few people walked on the road outside the school.
Fortunately, the green trees were lush. The extended branches and leaves blocked the sun and shaded the sidewalk.
Qiao Nian had been enduring the heat on the sidewalk.
The air conditioner in the car was fully on.
Qiao Nian bent down and entered the car, closing the door behind her.
Then, the chauffeur went around to the driver’s seat.
It was indeed very cool inside the car. Feeling it wasn’t enough, Old Master Ye tilted his head and asked concernedly, “Is it too hot? Shall I tell the chauffeur to lower the temperature by two degrees?”
He did not forget to complain about his unreliable grandson. “That young brat too. Why didn’t he drive you on such a hot day? I really don’t know how he became someone’s boyfriend! I’ll definitely teach him a lesson when I get back!”
Qiao Nian wasn’t good at interacting with elders, especially enthusiastic and concerned elders. Her temples throbbed, and she could only purse her lips and explain, “I refused. I came out on business. I didn’t know when I’d be done, so I didn’t want to go through too much trouble.
‘Oh, I see!” Old Master Ye could not say anything else since it was her request. However, he did not forget to frown and scold the young brat again. “Ask him to wait outside next time. Anyway, he’s playing with his
scoundrel friends at home. Why doesn’t he come out and do something with you? At least he can be your driver.”
The chauffeur heard the respected Elder Ye scolding his grandson as soon as he entered the car. Speechless, the chauffeur noticed that the girl in the rearview mirror kept rubbing her forehead and softly changed the topic. “Elder Ye, we’ve picked up Miss Qiao. Where are we going now?”
