Granny Zhangâs situation, Xinyan had already talked to He Jinxuan about it earlier.
Seeing his attention to detail now, sheâs naturally quite satisfied.
After all, Granny Zhang is very important to her, and of course, she doesnât want her to feel uncomfortable in the Capital, nor does she want He Jinxuan to have any objections that might affect their relationship.
During this period, He Jinxuan, although he didnât express his stance directly, has proven everything through his actions, and Xinyan genuinely feels moved.
Seeing itâs getting late, Xinyan decides not to keep He Jinxuan any longer, considering he still has to return the car, and itâs not good to be too late.
He Jinxuan greets Granny Zhang, "Granny Zhang, Iâm leaving now, Iâll come over some other day to see you again."
Granny Zhang stands under the magnolia tree, smiling at them, "Go ahead, drive slowly on the road."
Xinyan sees He Jinxuan out, and the two linger for a bit at the end of the alley, only then He Jinxuan reluctantly starts the car, "Yanyan, Iâll come over to pick you up on Tuesday, go on back."
She wouldnât go back, and he wouldnât leave.
Xinyan finally says, "Take care on the road."
With a wave of her hand, she walks back.
Seeing her enter through the gate, only then does He Jinxuan drive away.
Granny Zhang, seeing someone entering, also smiles and walks towards the kitchen, thinking: how wonderful it is to be young.

This day, Xinyan, as usual, has breakfast at home and heads to school.
Because sheâs been quite busy recently, she basically doesnât have any time for exercises during the day, only at night in the space where she practices boxing as a workout, so she doesnât ride her bike to school, treating it as exercise.
At the end of the morning classes, as soon as she gets out of the teaching building, sheâs stopped by someone.
The person stopping her is none other than Ji Xiaowen, who has been unwell for a long time.
Xinyan has never seen her in person, but while tidying up the house earlier, she had seen photos in the cabinet, "Who are you? Why are you stopping me?"
Ji Xiaowenâs face is very pale, and she has a slight cough, "Iâm Ji Xiaowen."
Xinyan takes a step back, not pretending not to know who she is, "What do you want from me?"
Looking at the youthful and radiant Han Xinyan, Ji Xiaowen holds a grudge in her heart. It wasnât actually her first time seeing her, she had come by a couple of times before, wanting to see what the daughter brought back by the Han Family looked like.
Making the second uncle so heartless, not acknowledging them anymore.
If Han Xinyan hadnât been found, would she still be the treasured niece of the second uncle? She wouldnât have fallen to the point where she needs to meticulously plan even for buying medicine.
Ji Xiaowenâs hand under her sleeve clenches into a fist, her nails digging into the flesh, the pain reminding her of the real matter today, "Can we talk in private?"
Saying this with a pitiful expression on her face, Xinyan dislikes this expression the most, if thereâs something to say, just say it, why make it seem like disagreeing is bullying her?
So she huffs, "If you have something to say, just say it here, Iâm in a hurry."
Ji Xiaowen didnât expect Xinyan to be so blunt, she looks up at the blazing sun in the sky, wipes the cold sweat off her forehead, what sheâs trying to convey, only she knows.
Xinyan doesnât indulge her, "If you donât speak, then Iâm leaving, and donât even think about acting, or Iâll expose your tricks."
Ji Xiaowen evidently hadnât expected Xinyan to be so ruthless and straightforward.
She bites her lip, cursing Xinyan in her heart dozens of times, and takes a deep breath, "I know that back then, it was my momâs own wrong intentions that caused you not to be able to live with your uncle."
Xinyan feels speechless, frowning lightly, "Get to the point."
Ji Xiaowenâs originally prepared speech falls short, her face reddening with anger, "I came today to apologize on behalf of my mom to you..."
Before she can finish, Xinyan interrupts her, "If youâre here to apologize on behalf of your mom, then sorry, you can leave now, I donât accept."
After saying that, she steps forward.
In a rush, Ji Xiaowen tries to grab her, but Xinyan agilely dodges, "You know your own health conditions, donât even think about causing a commotion with me."
At this moment, Jiang Peiqin and the others come over from behind, "Xinyan, didnât you have something to do? Why are you still here?"
Xinyan indicates Ji Xiaowen with her eyes, "I was stopped."
Seeing there were people coming, Ji Xiaowen seemed as though she suffered a great humiliation, tears welled up in her eyes, almost overflowing, making her appear pitiful.
Xinyan sees her like this and gets even angrier, "You want to perform, you should choose a time when Iâm free, sorry, Iâm in a hurry, you better come back another time."
After finishing, without giving her another chance, she strides away quickly.
Ji Xiaowen is infuriated, her eyes reddened, and she really cries this time. In front of the onlookers, she says, "How can you treat me like this?"
Having seen many such Little White Lotuses in the compound, Jiang Peiqin shakes her head and chuckles softly, saying to the classmates beside her, "Letâs go, better to avoid unnecessary trouble."
