88 Borrowing Money

“That’s nothing.” Fang Ming glanced at Fang Yao and smiled. “Sooner or later, we’ll become a family. It’s normal to help Xiao Xiao.”

Fang Yao was very satisfied with his brother’s words. It was only a matter of time before he and Yuan Xiao became a family.

However, Meng Zhu, who was in the back row, had a terrifyingly gloomy expression. She felt even more uneasy. Yuan Xiao was definitely not a simple character to leave such a good impression on Fang Ming.

Meng Zhu already had a plan in mind. She wanted to understand Yuan Xiao before things escalated too quickly, leaving her with no chance at all.

The next morning, Yuan Xiao received a message from Fang Yao. Yuan Xiao was too lazy to look at the emojis and text, so she called Fang Yao directly.

“What’s the matter?” Yuan Xiao’s voice was a little lazy. It was obvious that she had just woken up.

“Nothing. I just want to ask you out for a walk.” Fang Yao smiled when he heard Yuan Xiao’s voice on the phone.

“Tomorrow. I promised Mom that I would go to the restaurant to help today.” Yuan Xiao wanted to help her parents plan the renovation of the shop during the holidays and make plans for the future expansion.

“Alright, I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.” Fang Yao was obviously disappointed that he could not see Yuan Xiao today. However, thinking about tomorrow, Fang Yao’s mood improved a lot. If it were not for Yuan Xiao, Fang Yao would not have known that his emotions could be so volatile.

After hanging up the call with Fang Yao, Yuan Xiao heard the System notification in his mind.

[Congratulations, Host. Your reward, Shen Yu, professor of University A’s Mathematics Department, has been activated.]

“This is considered activated? But I haven’t learned anything from him yet!” Yuan Xiao felt that the System’s reward was a little rushed. She had yet to feel any value from Shen Yu.

[Professor Shen already has a good first impression of you. Keep working hard, Host. You will definitely learn more in the future!]

Although Yuan Xiao did not know how the plot would develop in the future, it was already a foregone conclusion that she would attend university at A University. The next thing she had to consider was what major she should choose.

Yuan Xiao looked at the time. Shen Hai and Feng Mei should have already gone to the shop. Yuan Xiao stopped thinking about the system. After washing up, she rushed to the restaurant.

However, as soon as she entered the restaurant, Yuan Xiao saw a few familiar faces that annoyed him.

“Yo, isn’t this Xiao Xiao? You’re getting prettier and prettier!” Shen Ling unconsciously took a few steps back when she saw Yuan Xiao enter the door, but she still spoke in a strange tone.

Yuan Xiao did not expect Shen Ling’s family to come knocking on their door. It seemed that the lesson she had taught them last time was too light.

Yuan Xiao realized that Shen Hai and Feng Mei did not look too good. She looked at the people in the room again and realized that other than Shen Ling and Zhou Wei, there was also a thin old lady in her sixties or seventies.

Although the old lady did not look young, she was very energetic and her expression looked very shrewd. After seeing Shen Ling and Yuan Xiao talking, she walked towards Yuan Xiao enthusiastically.

“So this is Xiao Xiao. She’s really good-looking.” The Old Madam’s eyes sized up Yuan Xiao’s body, her eyes filled with satisfaction. She continued to say to Yuan Xiao, “I’m your father’s third aunt. You should call me Third Grandaunt.”

Yuan Xiao ignored her. Judging from her father’s complicated expression, she was probably not a good person.

“Why doesn’t this child know how to greet people? This is your Third Grandaunt’s first time seeing you.” Shen Ling saw that Yuan Xiao did not say anything and was a little anxious. “This child is from the city. She might not understand our rules.”

Third Aunt did not care at first, but when she heard Shen Ling’s words, she felt that it was necessary to educate the younger generation. She deliberately put on airs and reprimanded, “City people can’t be rude. Shen Hai, how did you educate your child? She has no manners at all!”

Shen Hai looked at Third Aunt helplessly. There was nothing he could do to her. He whispered to Yuan Xiao, “This person is indeed my Third Aunt. Xiao Xiao, you can call her Third Grandaunt.”

Shen Hai did not force Yuan Xiao, but his third aunt was obviously annoyed.

“No rules, no manners. Previously, when I heard from Ling’er, I didn’t believe it. This child is a feral wolf who’ll bite the hand that feeds it. Shen Hai, you better know this in your heart!”

Originally, Yuan Xiao did not want to get angry, but this Third Aunt who suddenly appeared could be said to have repeatedly challenged her bottom line.
