Chapter 959 - Qiao Nan Played Dumb to Take Advantage of Her

Gao Yan arched an eyebrow. He did not seem to understand Qiao Nan’s words. “Qiao Nan, I didn’t expect that we will become alumni. I heard that you were joining Peking University. I was going to welcome you when school started, but my company was very busy and I could not make it.”

Xu Shengnan’s and Zou Wenxuan’s expressions changed. There was a ferocious glare in their gazes. Zou Wenxuan stared at her with animosity while Xu Shengnan was curious and happy to hear that. “Qiao Nan, are you... acquainted with Senior Gao?” He even said that he intended to welcome Qiao Nan when school started. It seemed that they were quite close.

Xu Shengnan’s heart was racing. She seemed to be alternating between heaven and hell. She had to thank her parents for gifting her with a healthy body and a strong heart. If not, she might be in hospital now.

“No, I don’t know him.” Qiao Nan shook her head.

Xu Shengnan had a look of disbelief on her face. Senior Gao had already said so, yet Qiao Nan refused to admit.

If she knew that Qiao Nan was close to Senior Gao, there was no need for her to worry about Zou Wenxuan.

Zou Wenxuan’s face turned from green to white and then purple. She was enraged. She had thought that the person who had been hiding her abilities was Xu Shengnan, but it turned out that it was Qiao Nan who had been playing dumb!

“However, I feel like I have seen him somewhere before.” Qiao Nan bent her neck as if talking to herself.

Gao Yan smiled. “Yes, we have met once in the past. It is no wonder you do not have much impression of it.” If not because of that person, he would not remember Qiao Nan or notice that she had gone to Peking University and was in the capital. “Actually, it was someone who told me to welcome you when school started.”

Gao Yan gave a lot of clues. Qiao Nan thought hard about it and it suddenly struck her mind. “Are you Fang Fang’s childhood sweetheart?”

That was right!

They had indeed met once.

“Childhood... Sweetheart?” Was he that young?

Now that Qiao Nan remembered who Gao Yan was, she was no longer as restrained and nervous as she was just now. She no longer behaved like a junior who had just been introduced to the top student at school. She was more casual and relaxed. “So you used to study at Peking University. You are the Senior Gao that they have been talking about. It’s strange. Why didn’t Fang Fang come to the capital to study? Why did she choose to study at the key university in the province?” She thought that Fang Fang would be inseparable from Gao Yan.

“Since you have a company in the capital, do you not intend to go back? What about Fang Fang? Don’t tell me I was wrong back then?” At that time, Gao Yan had rushed to Ping Cheng High School because of Fang Fang, who had been undecided between the humanities and the science classes, and he insisted on thanking her for helping Fang Fang. Gao Yan must be interested in Fang Fang.

Gao Yan laughed, finding Qiao Nan to be a very interesting person. The most important thing was that he was very satisfied that Qiao Nan was very protective of Fang Fang. “I have my own plans. Fang Fang may be studying at the university in the province, but it will not be long before Fang Fang’s parents come to the capital before her.” In other words, once Fang Fang’s parents came to the capital, she could not possibly stay in the province.

“Oh, I see.” Qiao Nan was relieved. “Gao Yan, I am reassured now, but are you?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gao Yan paused momentarily. “What do you mean?”

“What do I mean? Silly! Fang Fang is very well-behaved. She did not date when she was in junior high school or high school. Do you think that she will not have someone by her side when she is in university? You must be very gracious for not worrying that she will be taken.” She always thought that once Fang Fang graduated from high school, Gao Yan would make sure that Fang Fang became his girlfriend, just like what Brother Zhai did. “I just talked to Fang Fang a few days ago. Judging from her tone, she seems to be in love. I thought that you two...”

It turned out that Gao Yan did not bring about the change in Fang Fang.

If Gao Yan had been dating Fang Fang, Gao Yan would not use this tone when he spoke to Qiao Nan. What Gao Yan would do now was to treat her to a meal.

Gao Yan’s face darkened at Qiao Nan’s words. “Are you saying that Fang Fang has a boyfriend in university?!”

“Based on my three years of experience of sharing a dormitory with her, I feel that the probability is about 87.5 percent.” Qiao Nan touched her chin. “You should know Fang Fang’s temper. She would not use such a sweet and gentle tone with friends like me. Do you think there will be other female friends who will bring about such a change in her?”

She was not being boastful. She was very confident about this.

Gao Yan’s expression darkened. “Previously, when I talked to Fang Fang on the phone, she told me that her friends in the university are not as good as her friends in high school.”

Since she was not close to her ordinary friends, it must be her boyfriend who brought about such a change in her.

Qiao Nan tried to hold in her smile and patted Gao Yan on the shoulder. “Don’t be discouraged. There is still a chance. She is merely dating him. She has yet to marry him. Furthermore, you know her earlier than him.”

Gao Yan calmed down. “Does the club that you are in need of sponsorship?” There was a glitter in Gao Yan’s eyes. He seemed to be saying that it was not easy to get sponsorship.

Even if Gao Yan originally had the intention of helping Qiao Nan, as a businessman, Gao Yan had to make use of this opportunity so that he would not lose the beauty and his money.

Qiao Nan tidied her hair, looking calm and unhurried. “Did Fang Fang tell you to take good care of me?” If Fang Fang learned that Gao Yan did not take care of her, she would only be more averse to Gao Yan.

Qiao Nan was fearless now.

“I will take good care of you in your four years of college,” Gao Yan said reluctantly.

Qiao Nan was thrilled. “If you have the ability, there is no need for that!” She would admire Gao Yan for being a tough guy.

Xu Shengnan felt that the situation seemed to be going downhill. They were about to break out in a quarrel.

Xu Shengnan pulled Qiao Nan secretly. Even if they were old acquaintances, Qiao Nan must know her limits. They must not allow Zou Wenxuan to stand to gain.

But then, what exactly was the relationship between Qiao Nan and Senior Gao? Why did Qiao Nan dare to use such an attitude toward the Prince Charming of the fellow female students?

The strangest thing was that Senior Gao seemed to be subdued by Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan bared her teeth and smiled at Xu Shengnan. She knew what she was doing. “Do you like Fang Fang?”

“...” Gao Yan’s face sank. He did not understand what Qiao Nan meant by asking this.

Qiao Nan was not in a hurry for Gao Yan to answer her. She said unhurriedly, “Regarding the sponsorship, it is just a simple student activity. It is not a big deal. But if I am to help you with regard to your relationship with Fang Fang, I may affect her entire life. Before I can be sure that you are a good man, do you think I will help you get close to Fang Fang and cause her harm?” After all, Fang Fang was one of her few good friends since she went through rebirth.

She had seen many scumbags and she had met one of them. Although Gao Yan was Fang Fang’s childhood sweetheart, Qiao Nan still had her doubts about him. Hence, she was cautious.
