Chapter 1011: Chapter 1008: Afraid She Might Be Kidnapped

"Aunt Qing, Xiao Hua is really nice!" Tao Jia unexpectedly delivered a blow to Yan Mom.

Yan Mom slightly furrowed her brows, "Jiajia, you’re still a little girl; the human heart is unfathomable. How much can you understand?"

Tao Jia, unimpressed, said, "Aunt Qing, by your logic, Xiao Hua is the little girl; she’s only eighteen. What kind of schemes could she have?"

Tao Jia didn’t wait for Yan Mom to instruct her further and added, "Although I’ve only known Xiao Hua for a short while, I trust Yan Bo’s judgment. Aunt Qing, don’t you trust him?"

Yan Mom looked at her thoughtfully, "So, did Little Bo send you to speak on his behalf?"

Tao Jia quickly waved her hands, shaking her head, "Aunt Qing, Yan Bo has never asked me for anything. I just think that someone as astute as Yan Bo wouldn’t misjudge people. Besides, the Xiao Hua I’ve met is really no different from an ordinary university student, even more sensible than her peers. I can’t speak for others, but just considering your attitude towards her, if Yan Bo were my boyfriend and you dared treat me that way, I would definitely confront him, and wouldn’t just suffer in silence."

Tao Jia was defending Tong Xiaohua against the doubts and disapproval she faced in the Yan Family, which sounded particularly grating to Yan Mom’s ears.

These words, far from vindicating Tong Xiaohua, only convinced Yan Mom further that Tong Xiaohua was indeed a formidable girl, not to be underestimated because of her young age.

"Jiajia, some things are hard to explain to you. Anyway, when you have time, talk to Yan Bo too. He’s still young; he doesn’t need to tie himself down so soon. Besides, considering his own merits or the background of his family, he has plenty of potential partners to choose from. Why fixate on just one girl?"

Tao Jia had come to plead Tong Xiaohua’s case, but now, hearing Yan Mom’s advice, the more she listened, the more uneasy she felt. She eyed Yan Mom with a strange look.

"Aunt Qing, are you confused? You weren’t like this before!"

Yan Mom patted her head, "Silly girl, when you become a mother in the future, you’ll understand my feelings!"

Tao Jia disagreed with her viewpoint but also felt a bit powerless, perhaps truly unable to shift the prejudice and stubbornness of the two elders of the Yan Family.

"Perhaps, Aunt Qing, you rest well. I have some errands to run this afternoon. I’ll be leaving now."

Yan Mom waved her hand, "Go on then, remember to chat with Little Bo. The two of you grew up together; it should be easier for you to see eye to eye."

Tao Jia muttered to herself, feeling that someone as brilliant as him had a mind completely different from others; she couldn’t really connect with him at all!

Leaving the Yan Family home, Tao Jia didn’t report to Tong Xiaohua about delivering the Chinese medicine; instead, she called Yan Bo.

Yan Bo was taken aback when he heard her mention the Chinese medicine over the phone, "You said Xiao Hua sent some Chinese medicine over for you to give to my mom?"

"Yes, she even said the Physician Dong is very famous, and she had a hard time obtaining this medicine."

Even then, Tao Jia still felt it was unfair to Tong Xiaohua. Simultaneously, she was somewhat disappointed in the Yan Family elders.

"Yan Bo, honestly, I’ve always thought that my parents and yours were good parents, never like those parents from aristocratic families forcing us to marry someone of equal social status, but now..."

When Yan Bo received Tao Jia’s call, he was looking over the tender documents for the land parcel from a few days ago; the figures on the documents were pretty much as he had anticipated.

"Jiajia, don’t let my parents’ attitude affect your views. They are them, and your parents are your parents."

Yan Bo did not want his childhood friend to develop any cynical views or actions because of his situation, although he had indeed considered asking Tao Jia for help in changing his parents’ views on Tong Xiaohua.

But now, he thoroughly dismissed that idea.

When a person harbors deep prejudice against another, no matter what others say, it only seems like making excuses."

"I... won’t... but I’m really sorry, I can’t help you and Xiao Hua..." Tao Jia was quite disheartened.

"Jiajia, thank you! Some prejudices can only be eliminated with time. Xiao Hua and I are still young, we are not in a rush!"

After hanging up on Tao Jia, Yan Bo hesitated for a moment, then pressed the intercom to instruct Secretary Ms. Guo to move his evening social itinerary to the following night.

"Okay." After acknowledging, Ms. Guo couldn’t help but gossip and asked another question, "Boss, are you going on a date tonight?"

"Yes, I’m going to pick up your boss lady from school." Yan Bo didn’t hide the fact.

"Oh, are you afraid that the handsome seniors will steal her away?"

Ms. Guo’s comment was purely in jest, but it inadvertently hit close to the mark.

"Yes, the university is full of handsome guys, and here I am, your boss, restless all day! So, for future social events, you can just arrange for Di Xu to handle them."

Yan Bo shamelessly loaded Di Xu, the special assistant, with a heap of tasks using his authority.

...

Tong Xiaohua, having mostly recovered physically, began returning to university for classes.

Since she and Yan Bo had dinner with Zeng Xianghai and Xiao Mi a couple of days earlier, she hadn’t seen Zeng Xianghai or sent any messages to him.

Tong Xiaohua had packed snacks for three people and brought them to the class that afternoon, which she had with both Zeng Xianghai and Xiao Mi. However, in the classroom, she only saw Xiao Mi.

"Where is Xianghai?"

The professor hadn’t arrived yet, and Tong Xiaohua handed the snacks to Xiao Mi.

"He said he had some business, so he isn’t coming to class today." Xiao Mi took the snacks and lowered her head to open the lid.

She seemed to have no intention of explaining further.

Tong Xiaohua didn’t feel it was right to ask more, understanding that Zeng Xianghai was probably avoiding her.

However, it was probably for the best; hurting him more would only increase his chances of turning back.

Dragging him along indecisively would be the greatest harm to him.

"Xiao Hua, you really know how to keep things under wraps; it’s been so long and you never revealed that your boyfriend is Teacher Yan. I was guessing all along that your partner was some young master from an aristocratic family in L City."

Tong Xiaohua wouldn’t tell Xiao Mi that Yan Bo’s background was even more intimidating than any young master from L City’s aristocratic families.

If it weren’t so, she wouldn’t have had such a tough time gaining his parents’ approval.

"What’s there to say? He’s just a man, after all. Besides, I didn’t even know he had been to the university to give a lecture."

Xiao Mi clicked her tongue twice, chewing the snacks while teasingly looking at Tong Xiaohua.

"From the sound of it, Teacher Yan probably feels quite dejected. Just a man, you say? He’s a chosen one—not only is he handsome, but he’s also incredibly intelligent, only twenty years old, and he got double master’s degrees from internationally renowned universities, made his first bucket of gold abroad, and started Yanhuang Real Estate upon returning to the country. This life trajectory is just unimaginable, don’t you know?"

Tong Xiaohua flipped open her book, her face expressionless as she shook her head, "I don’t know!"

Xiao Mi glared at her with utter contempt, "Xiao Hua, this is blatantly showing off your love; you’re asking to be bashed!"
