Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance-Chapter 896 - 660: Qi Xue’s Pop Quiz
Since you've come, make yourself comfortable.
If Jiang Nian was shy, he wouldn't be visiting the hospital with Yao Beibei; it's too ambiguous, no matter how you slice it.
Plus, there was a misunderstanding, but it's not a big deal.
The doorbell rang.
It sounded like running water, rather than the traditional ding-dong. The soundproofing was good, so you couldn't hear anything from inside.
With a click, the door opened.
"That was quick..." Zhang Wanhai opened the door, smiling, but his face froze the moment he saw Jiang Nian.
"What are you doing here..."
Halfway through his sentence, he glanced at his daughter's deathly stare. Instantly feeling a chill down his spine, his tone suddenly changed.
"Why are you so late, come, come, come in for some tea."
Jiang Nian didn't mind; he changed into new slippers. Carrying the fruits he had casually bought, he wandered in.
It's normal for Mr. Zhang to have a big estate with a few guest slippers.
But this pair fit unusually well.
Sun Yanan smiled at Jiang Nian and Yao Beibei, "Thank you for visiting Zhizhi, sit down and have a meal."
Mrs. Zhang is the typical wealthy lady, with a comfortable family life. Her long-nurtured opulent demeanor makes her smile at everyone she meets.
This subtle warmth is neither off-putting nor gives a sense of refinement, but it does carry quite a bit of pressure.
The maid had already set the table, with a bowl of soup for everyone.
Jiang Nian and Yao Beibei exchanged a glance and then turned away.
"Okay."
At the dining table, Zhang Ningzhi didn't have much appetite. She took a couple of sips of soup and stopped, but managed to serve Jiang Nian some food.
Yao Beibei's mom and Sun Yanan know each other, given how small the county is, they see each other often.
Thus, she appeared exceptionally natural and composed.
Jiang Nian was focused on eating, barely lifting his head. Sun Yanan, unaware of the situation, assumed he was just a shy young man.
Zhang Wanhai was eating while glancing at Jiang Nian.
This guy seemed quite talkative during the parent-teacher conference, who knows how he might have charmed his daughter at school.
Now he's all silent, how peculiar.
Jiang Nian was simply hungry; the maid's cooking was truly delicious. He had previously expressed a desire to eat, and now he was really eating.
"Eat slower." Zhang Ningzhi smiled.
It seemed watching him eat was more enjoyable than eating herself. Even if she had little appetite, she didn't leave the table.
Jiang Nian: "Oh, oh."
He wasn't thinking much, since he was here. First, finish the meal, and then there's self-study to get back to.
After the meal, Sun Yanan urged Zhang Ningzhi to rest.
After all, her classmates had visited; the routine was complete. They shouldn't stay too long; health is more important.
"I won't." Zhang Ningzhi pouted.
Jiang Nian turned his head, eating grapes. Higher quality than the ones he brought, sweeter too.
"You still watch Da Bing?"
"No, I don't!" Zhang Ningzhi exclaimed angrily.
Sun Yanan knew they were desk mates, even though the other was a boy. She was open-minded and didn't find it unusual.
Zhang Wanhai was aware of the reality; his daughter's familiarity suggested their relationship wasn't just that of ordinary classmates.
Yet, as her grades hadn't declined, there was no reason to nitpick.
He sighed lightly, got up, and went to the living room to watch TV. After a while, he found Jiang Nian had joined him.
"Are you full?"
"Yes." Jiang Nian also felt awkward; he watched whatever was on TV, "Uncle, I'll head back to school soon."
"Alright, go ahead, don't let it affect your studies." Zhang Wanhai switched to the football channel, absent-mindedly watching.
Jiang Nian turned his head, "Uncle, how did you know I won the school football championship?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanhai couldn't hold back.
No one asked you!
This kid's skin is exceptionally thick. But he couldn't do anything about Jiang Nian, so he changed the channel.
NBA.
"Tsk, that elbow," Jiang Nian commented out of boredom, "It's no different from being hit by a truck."
Zhang Wanhai: "...."
He switched the channel again; this time it was an anti-Japanese drama. He waited for a long time but Jiang Nian didn't say a word, eliciting his impatience first.
"What on earth is this filming?"
He changed the channel again, this time it was a movie. However, the timing was awkward; a couple was in bed together.
"Dad!"
Zhang Ningzhi's voice came, startling the well-seasoned Mr. Zhang, he trembled and quickly changed the channel.
"What are you watching?"
"Nothing... nothing much." Zhang Wanhai let out a sigh of relief, thinking thankfully he changed quickly, "Just browsing."
He cast a sidelong glance at Jiang Nian and noticed the kid was laughing.
"Let me tell you, just now....." Jiang Nian turned, smiling as he spoke to Zhang Ningzhi, causing Zhang Wanhai to break out in a cold sweat.
This kid!
"Cough cough!!" Mr. Zhang cleared his throat, fearing Jiang Nian would disregard him, he coughed heavily twice more.
Due to excessive force, it triggered a real cough.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Zhang Ningzhi thought she might have infected her dad with her cold.
So, she stepped forward to pat his back.
"Nothing, choked on my saliva." Zhang Wanhai felt aggrieved, thinking it's all that kid's fault.
After a while, Yao Beibei came over.
"Shall we?"
Time was pressing, the two had to return to class. Zhang Ningzhi's illness hadn't cleared up, so she went downstairs to see them off.
In the elevator, she asked softly.
"Did you say something to my dad?"
"Nope." Jiang Nian casually lied, "Maybe he appreciates me, so he got excited."
"Hmph!" Zhang Ningzhi pouted.
She felt a bit uncomfortable with her illness and had a sudden urge to bite Jiang Nian, but couldn't find an opportunity alone.
Downstairs, just before parting.
Zhang Ningzhi pinched his waist, making him shiver and ask, what's the deal?
"Nothing, just felt like pinching."
Jiang Nian: "???
....
On the return trip, Yao Beibei was not giving up. She tried once more to let Sun Ce play, unsurprisingly getting carried by Jiang Nian.
