Helping Each Other, We're Even Now

Nan Yan was awakened and had no intention of going back to sleep. 

After freshening up and changing clothes, she was ready to go to school.

In the past, the previous host didn't want to go to school mainly because she felt inferior. 

The An family had arranged for her to attend An Muyao's school, but because she had dropped out of school after junior high school, she was only able to study in Grade One after being brought back to the An family.

Now she was in her second year of high school, while An Muyao was already in her third year, preparing for the college entrance examination.

An Muyao was an outstanding student at school, excelling in both academics and extracurricular activities. She was also the vice president of the student council and a talented violinist, making her very popular. 

She basically didn't need to do anything. She didn't even need to say anything. She only needed to let someone reveal Nan Yan's identity, and Nan Yan would become the target of public criticism.

Being mocked was a common occurrence, and being mistreated happened frequently as well. 

Even her teachers looked down on her because of her poor academic performance. 

Over time, she developed a dislike for going to school. 

However, now that she had taken over the body, she had to settle the score with those who had bullied the original host.

"Yanyan, you haven't gone to school yet?" An Xiran approached her with a head of silver-gray hair. He seemed to guess something and said directly, "Let's go, I'll drive you."

"Okay." Nan Yan nodded. Otherwise, she would probably have to take a taxi to school. 

After all, the An family didn't provide her with a driver, and nobody was willing to serve her.

Before long, An Xiran drove over and lowered the car window, saying to her, "Yanyan, get in the car." 

After Nan Yan got in the car, she casually fastened her seatbelt and took out her phone to check something.

An Xiran glanced at her sideways, wanting to say something but ultimately kept silent, turning his head away. 

The car was running smoothly until, somehow, it broke down halfway.

An Xiran tried a few more times, but the car couldn't start at all. With a dark face, she said to Nan Yan, "Yanyan, Fourth Brother will give you money. Take a taxi to school. I'll call for a tow truck to take the car to the repair shop."

Nan Yan nodded but didn't accept the money he handed to her. "It's okay, I transferred the money from my previous phone, so I have enough for the taxi fare."

In fact, Nan Yan couldn't be bothered to deal with the previous host's account. She had reapplied for all her accounts herself. 

As for money, she only had twenty thousand yuan, which was the commission Bai Yiqi gave her yesterday. But that should be enough.

Nan Yan unfastened her seatbelt and stood by the side of the road, ready to hail a taxi to school. However, before she could do so, a flashy and luxurious Rolls-Royce stopped in front of her.

The car window rolled down, and Old Madam Qin, with her benevolent expression, called out to her, "Yanyan, where are you going? Get in the car. Let Ah Lv send you."

Nan Yan recognized the elderly lady from yesterday and politely declined, "Granny, it's not necessary. I can take a taxi."

Old Madam Qin pretended to be angry. "Why are you being so distant with Granny? Since we've bumped into each other, how can I let you take a taxi? Hurry and get in!"

An Xiran, seeing a Rolls-Royce parked next to Nan Yan, came over to see what was happening. When he saw yesterday's elderly lady, he guessed her intention and tapped Nan Yan on the shoulder. "If the old lady wants to give you a ride, just go with her. It's rush hour now, and it's not easy to find a taxi."

"Oh." Nan Yan didn't want to waste time waiting for a taxi, so she went along with their suggestion and got into the car.

Once inside the car, Nan Yan noticed that there was not only the elderly lady but also a man present. 

He was the handsome guy who had lent her a room yesterday and helped her out of the predicament. 

So, the elderly lady was actually his grandmother!

No wonder the old lady stayed at that hotel.

Nan Yan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and greeted Qin Lu, "Brother, we meet again~"

It wouldn't be good to pretend not to know him, after all.

Qin Lu lazily glanced at her and let out a mocking laugh, "It's only been a day, and you're acting so unfamiliar with your brother?"

Nan Yan: "?"

What's going on?

Didn't they meet just yesterday?

Old Madam Qin was a little puzzled as she watched the conversation between the two of them.

Didn't Ah Lv say that he's pursuing that young lady, but she hasn't agreed yet?

Why did his attitude not seem like he's pursuing her?

Could it be that the little girl was shy and didn't want her to see it?

Yes, that must be it!

Old Madam Qin thought she had figured it out and smiled even more lovingly.

The two of them looked really compatible!

"Yanyan, Grandma didn't deliberately hide your identity yesterday when we met at the mall. I didn't know how to talk to you at the time, so I didn't say anything. Don't be angry with Grandma, okay?" 

Old Madam Qin explained, afraid it would affect her impression in the little girl's heart.

Nan Yan: "?"

It seemed like there was something she didn't know about.

Why did the old madam's words sound so strange to her?

Before she could speculate on an answer, Old Madam Qin continued, "Yanyan, how long have you known Ah Lv? How do you feel about being with him? Do you think he's too boring?"

Nan Yan was speechless.

They had only met briefly, so how could they have such a deep relationship?

Qin Lu said casually with his deep and sexy voice in the car, "Grandma, if you keep asking like this, you'll scare the little girl."

Old Madam Qin's tone faltered, and she quickly said, "Oh, oh, I won't ask anymore. Yanyan, don't overthink it, Grandma doesn't mean anything else, don't feel pressured."

"Grandma is very kind, unlike those old-fashioned ones who urge you to get married..."

"Grandma." Qin Lu lowered his voice.

Old Madam Qin immediately waved her hand, saying, "I won't say it anymore, Grandma won't say anything!"

Nan Yan: "?"

She looked meaningfully at the calm and composed handsome man.

He seemed to have used her to do something bad.

However, thinking about how he had helped her before, it was understandable for him to use her identity to return the favor.

Qin Lu met Nan Yan's playful and alluring eyes.

Nan Yan raised her eyebrow slightly and mouthed three words, "All even now?"

Qin Lu knew that she had guessed it.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with using her identity to evade his grandmother's arranged marriage plan.

Originally, he only wanted to borrow it temporarily, but yesterday, his grandmother happened to meet her at the mall.

At first, he thought Nan Yan intentionally approached the old lady, but he later found out from Wuyue that it was a coincidence.

And then he found out about Nan Yan's actions afterwards.

It was somewhat unexpected that she could be associated with innocence and kindness...

Nan Yan saw that he didn't respond and looked at him with a questioning gaze.

Qin Lu nodded almost imperceptibly and mouthed back, "Alright."

Old Madam Qin noticed that they were exchanging glances with each other, and her heart blossomed with joy.

The more she looked at them, the more compatible they seemed!

This daughter-in-law was really to her liking!

Most importantly, she could make her grandson happy!
