Besides…

Pei Yunge still remembered that because Jian Xi had lost to Cheng Zihuai, she developed a special relations.h.i.+p with Cheng Zihuai and had been helping him pave the way silently.

However, later on, because of an argument between Jian Xi and Qin Youjiao, Qin Youjiao accidentally had a miscarriage and Cheng Zihuai almost strangled Jian Xi to death himself.

“…”

Pei Yunge's eyelid moved and she sent another message to Jian Xi.

[You must get first in this computing compet.i.tion.]

In the dormitory, Jian Xi, who was still in high spirits, suddenly had a doubt.

How did the teacher know that she was going to partic.i.p.ate in the computing compet.i.tion?

Could it be that her uncle told her?

Without thinking too much, Jian Xi replied immediately.

[Don't worry, Teacher. I definitely won't embarra.s.s you!]

Pei Yunge glanced at it and thought for a moment. After replying, she put her phone back in her pocket.

However…

Immediately after, Pei Yunge heard a voice beside her.

“Can you help me? Something might have happened to my granddaughter! I'm really worried about her. Let me go in and look for her.”

The security officer was a little impatient. “This student has already finished school. She will definitely come out if she's fine!”

The anxious old lady was dressed simply. She was holding an ap.r.o.n which she had just taken off. She looked completely out of place in this private high school.

This was the high school that rich young masters attended. How many students' grandmothers would wear clothes like hers?

The old lady was also uneasy and could only cover her dirty ap.r.o.n with her hand. However, on a closer look, her cracked fingers were covered in gray mud as well.

The security officer's eyes were filled with despise as he reached out to push her out. “Hurry and go, don't get in the way! I think you're here to extort money!”

“I'm not, please. I'm just here to look for my granddaughter…”

Due to the sudden shove, the old lady lost her balance.

Her face was pale and she closed her eyes instinctively. However, she did not expect that before she fell to the ground, someone would hold her up.

A pair of warm hands held onto the old lady's arm.

“Are parents not allowed to enter Hengde High School?”

The coldness and ruthlessness in Pei Yunge's eyes made one's scalp turn numb. Her lips curved up in a mocking manner.

Of course the security officer recognized Pei Yunge. He suddenly stammered, “N-No… She's not a parent.”

“Are you saying that my grandma isn't a parent, or that I'm not a student of Hengde?”

Pei Yunge's voice turned even colder.

It was only then that the old lady recognized that this beautiful girl was actually her Ge'er!

“Ge'er, you…”

The old lady's expression was agitated, but after a moment, she held her hand nervously. “Ge'er, are you injured? Are you alright?!”

After hearing this, Pei Yunge's gaze moved away from the security officer and landed on the old lady.

She was the Director of the orphanage where the original protagonist had come from.

However, when the orphanage was about to close down, the old lady sent all the children she could send away. As for the original protagonist who wasn't adopted, the old lady took her with her and doted on her like she was her biological granddaughter.

“Who told you that I'm injured?”

Pei Yunge took out a wet tissue from her pocket and held the old lady's hand, wiping the old lady's hand carefully as she asked casually.

“Ge'er, you're not injured?”

When the old lady regained her senses, she looked sorry. “I… received a call. That girl said that she was your cla.s.smate. She told me that you were injured…”

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come looking for Ge'er.

Ge'er could already lead a good life. If others found out that she had stayed in an orphanage, she would definitely be looked down upon.
