Chapter 14: Let Me Find You

Jiang Chen’s wristband?

President Wang’s gaze shifted to Jiang Cheng. 

Her mind flashed to that set of men’s clothing.

The look she gave him was no longer friendly.

She felt her suspicions were bold, but everything seemed to point to one answer.

“At your age, do you have a girl you like?”

Jiang Cheng’s heart pounded. 

He didn’t know how much President Wang had figured out, but this question was enough to put him on high alert.

“I just want to study hard right now.”

“Heh…” 

A faint smile tugged at President Wang’s lips.

In her mind: Keep pretending.

“So, you’re not dating, and you don’t have a girlfriend?”

“Yes…” 

Jiang Cheng avoided her gaze. 

To President Wang, this looked like guilt.

She pulled out her phone, opened Jiang Chen’s WeChat, then suddenly remembered she should be in class right now.

Irritation built in President Wang’s heart. She had no standing to say anything.

But thinking back to their first meeting, she already found this boy displeasing.

Are all young girls these days so lovesick? 

Short on money for gifts, so they go out to accompany drinks?

She attributed Jiang Chen’s initial actions entirely to Jiang Cheng. 

President Wang even felt an impulse to say to the boy in front of her—

Do you know your girlfriend entered my room?

Ha…

He looked frail and taciturn—what exactly attracted Jiang Chen? 

President Wang held back in the end.

Everything now was just speculation. 

Only after confirming the truth could she make a final decision.

She had to pull Jiang Chen out of this quagmire.

President Wang strode out of the classroom. 

Mo Nono, seeing her approach from afar, hurried over.

“Um… Student Jiang is still inside?”

“Yes. Let’s head back to the company first… Never mind. Go ask for leave for Little Yu. I’ll take him back first.”

President Wang changed her mind on the spot.

Mo Nono scratched her head and looked at Wang Yu still standing by the wall.

She mentally lit a candle for the kid. 

Her cousin was probably about to discipline him.

Wang Yu naturally noticed Mo Nono’s look. 

Though he hadn’t heard what Aunt said, a bad feeling rose in his heart.

“You’ll come with me first. I have something to ask you.”

Normally, getting leave during school hours would thrill Wang Yu, but now he made excuses.

“No need, right? Aunt, I have class soon. Hey, is Jiang bro still in the classroom?”

He looked back but didn’t see Jiang Cheng come out.

Hearing the name again, President Wang’s expression paused slightly. She asked.

“Are you close with him?”

“Of course! I’m Jiang bro’s loyal fan. You don’t know how cool he is—he took first in the grade the moment he arrived.”

“You like people with good grades, but your own haven’t improved.” 

President Wang mocked her nephew without mercy.

Wang Yu sensed Aunt’s mood was off today and immediately shut up, putting on a pitiful look.

A tall, sturdy boy acting cute looked strange no matter what. 

President Wang grew more annoyed.

She felt her usual patience completely worn away. 

With a cold humph, she walked ahead. 

After two steps, she turned back and called.

“Hurry up and follow.”

Wang Yu followed dejectedly. 

Mo Nono went to the office to request leave for him.

In the empty classroom, Jiang Cheng slumped to the floor. 

His uniform back was soaked with sweat.

This was the first time he had seen President Wang angry. 

The aura she exuded as someone long in power was more than a student like him could withstand.

Though unclear why she was angry, Jiang Cheng guessed it was probably related to him…

Girlfriend? 

He thought in confusion. 

President Wang’s attitude had shifted drastically after asking that question.

No… first, she saw his wristband.

He thought carefully but couldn’t connect the dots.

If seeing the wristband made her think of Jiang Chen, why get so angry? 

It was like…

Like she was standing up for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Cheng rubbed the wristband strap. He suddenly felt he was faintly touching the reason.

But it circled back to the first question—why ask about his girlfriend?

What is all this…

Jiang Cheng’s mind was in chaos. In the end, he just walked out with a grim face.

He had more important things to face now. No time to ponder President Wang’s thoughts.

Anyway, he had only met her today. 

Even if she was dissatisfied, the worst case was losing his scholarship.

But… he needed to keep an eye on Wang Yu. 

He hadn’t expected him to be President Wang’s relative.

Relative… blood relation— Jiang Cheng’s steps halted. 

His face paled as he stood there.

【Your cousin—is he related to you by blood?】

President Wang’s past words echoed in his ears endlessly.

“Aunt, this doesn’t seem like the way home?”

Wang Yu sat in the passenger seat, looking bored out the window.

After leaving the school gate, his anxiety eased a lot. 

The joy of skipping class still dominated.

“Did I say I was taking you home?”

“Seems like…”

Aunt had just told him to come with her. 

She hadn’t said where.

The car headed toward the southern new city. 

Only when they entered Fuyuan did Wang Yu realize Aunt was taking him to her place.

Then I won’t get scolded by Mom and Dad. 

Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

President Wang barely spoke the whole way. 

After parking, she went straight to open the door without looking back.

Wang Yu followed closely, a fawning smile on his face.

“Aunt, how about letting me stay over tonight?”

“I don’t want to drive you back tomorrow.”

She had only brought him to ask questions. 

Her anger had gradually faded. 

After adjusting her mood, she could now speak calmly.

“Fine.” 

Wang Yu sighed.

“Sit there. I have something to ask you.”

“Oh, oh, what is it?”

Wang Yu sat on the sofa and popped a grape into his mouth.

The next second, President Wang’s question nearly choked him.

“Your deskmate Jiang Cheng—does he have a girlfriend?”

“Cough cough cough… Aunt, say that again?” Wang Yu’s eyes widened, thinking he misheard.

“Jiang Cheng, your good bro—does he have a girlfriend?”

President Wang frowned at her nephew’s dramatics.

“Oh… no.” Wang Yu composed himself. “Aunt, you… didn’t fall for my bro, did you?”

President Wang, drinking water, choked. 

She coughed, pulled a tissue to wipe the water from her clothes, and only after a while did her heaving chest settle.

“Why would you think that?”

“Well… you talked to him alone today and asked if he has a girlfriend. I thought you had a crush on him.”

Wang Yu knew his idea was far-fetched but still glanced at Aunt uneasily.

President Wang laughed in anger.

“Don’t let your imagination run wild. I don’t like him. Just tell me if there are any girls he’s close with.”

“No… he barely talks to anyone… Wait—” Inspiration struck Wang Yu. 

“My goddess!”

“What do you mean ‘your goddess’?”

“It’s the one—the last time we ate at Grandpa and Grandma’s, I told you!” 

Wang Yu stumbled over his words. 

“My goddess is his cousin!”

Cousin? 

President Wang now felt irritated hearing that word. 

She didn’t remember much from that day.

“Yes, with beautiful pink hair! Big eyes, small face. A bit cold attitude… but you know, that’s a moe point too. But don’t worry, I only admire my goddess. I absolutely won’t date early.”

“You’re not worthy of her anyway.” 

President Wang recalled what Wang Yu had said before.

She had thought more about the pink hair at the time but eventually forgot.

Now, thinking back carefully…

It couldn’t really be such a coincidence, could it?
