CHAPTER 1224: CHAPTER 242: THE NOBLEMAN, POLISHED LIKE JADE

Meng Shujing looked at the grades, then at Yan Xing, then at Ji Yunya, and a smile tugged at her lips, "You, seriously need to thank Yun Ya properly. It’s your first time getting grades this good; it’s like the sun rose from the west."

She knew that Xingxing had been going to Yun Ya for tutoring frequently lately, and at first, she didn’t pay much attention, thinking it wouldn’t hurt for Xingxing to interact with Yun Ya more. Little did she expect that in such a short time, Xingxing’s grades would improve so drastically. Yun Ya is truly amazing.

Meng Shujing marveled internally, looking at Yun Ya, then at her own daughter, especially as Zhuang Xiyue, laughed with contentment.

"I have to show it to Great Grandpa first. He will definitely be very happy." Yan Xing ran into Rongju Garden with her report card.

Yan Hua followed, actively handing the report card to Meng Shujing.

Yan Hua’s grades have always been stable in the top three of the class and the top ten of the grade, not exceptionally outstanding but quite excellent. This time, his grades improved significantly compared to the last time, ranking in the top five of the grade, leaving Meng Shujing grinning from ear to ear.

"Actually, I still need to thank Yun Ya; she gave me a lot of help." Yan Hua said softly.

"Indeed, she’s a top student from the University of Washington. It would be a pity if she didn’t become a teacher with such skills." Meng Shujing sighed and then smiled, "Yueyue, I must thank you and Yun Ya properly. It’s rare for our Xingxing to get such good grades, all thanks to Yun Ya."

Zhuang Xiyue laughed, "Xingxing is smart by herself; our Yun Ya didn’t help much." A little humility always goes a long way.

Lu Yuke glanced over coldly, sneered, and walked away, thinking about how Meng Shujing has been getting closer to the second family lately.

Soon Yan Xing came out bouncing, "Great Grandpa praised me and even gave me a big red envelope. He told me to keep up the good work, hehe." Yan Xing shook the red envelope in her hand.

"You little girl, don’t bother your Great Grandpa; you’re too noisy." Meng Shujing scolded mockingly, but there was a smile on her face.

All day, Yan Xing hovered around Yun Ya like a happy butterfly. If Yun Ya wanted water, she would rush to bring it to her; if Yun Ya wanted food, she would quickly hand over chopsticks—just short of offering her heart to Yun Ya. Yun Ya was speechless, listening to Yan Xing buzzing all day until her brain was buzzing.

"Sister Yun Ya, you wouldn’t believe how shocked everyone in our class looked, their jaws almost dropped to the ground, so funny, looking like fools, especially Song Jinwen, hmph, she even accused me of cheating, cheating your grandmother’s head, I don’t need to cheat. She not only has to apologize to me in front of the entire school but also has to do my duties for the whole semester. Just thinking about it, I’m so excited, can’t wait for school to start..." Yan Xing rambled these words countless times, and Yun Ya’s ears were almost getting calloused, rubbing her brow.

"Xingxing, it’s getting late..." implying that it was time for her to leave.

This girl was a bit clueless, "Oh, oh, Sister Yun Ya should be going to sleep, right? I’ll help you to bed...." she said as she reached out to help Yun Ya.

Yun Ya sighed, "No need, you go home...."

At this moment, Yan Song pushed the door open and came in, bringing a chill with him, scaring Yan Xing so much that she shivered and slipped away without saying a word.

She was particularly afraid of Yan Song, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Yun Ya couldn’t help but laugh.

"Is that girl bothering you?" Yan Song walked over in big strides and wrapped his arms around Yun Ya, holding her like a child.

"I’ll talk to her tomorrow, tell her not to bother you." Yan Song frowned, looking impatient.

Yun Ya glanced at him with a smile, "It’s alright, Xingxing is just like that, though noisy, she brings me a lot of joy anyway."

"Don’t speak up for her; I haven’t settled things with her yet." Mentioning this, Yan Song’s face turned even colder, remembering clearly the things those who bullied Yun Ya had done and said.

"Let it go; she’s still a child. Besides, she’s wholeheartedly towards me now. Don’t fuss with a child." Yun Ya clutched his shirt, whispering.

Yan Song lowered his head and looked at her with deep, penetrating eyes, almost seeing into her heart. Yun Ya could hardly look directly, and in the next moment, Yan Song buried his face in the crook of her shoulder, deeply inhaling her scent.

Yun Ya’s body stiffened a bit, hugging his neck with a smile, softly asked, "What’s the matter?"

"I want to take you away from here." Yan Song muttered, even though this place was his home, everywhere was filled with schemes. Sometimes he couldn’t protect Yun Ya, fearing she would get hurt, and really didn’t want to stay here any longer.
