"Hmph!"
"Yu Xiang, you've been in the countryside too long and lack worldly experience."
"Once you truly experience our life, you'll willingly abandon that pauper."
Xiao Gang gritted his teeth in the car.
He had originally wanted to show off his superiority to Qin Yu Xiang, to make her look at him with new eyes, but unexpectedly, Qin Yu Xiang remained unmoved.
However, Xiao Gang simply felt that Qin Yu Xiang had been in the countryside for too long and lacked worldly experience, making her a bit naive.
He believed that once Qin Yu Xiang truly witnessed the prosperity of the county town, she would definitely leave Lin Xiao Tian of her own accord.
He had seen too many such cases.
Qing Zhou was a province with extreme disparities in wealth. The countryside, the county town, the county town and the city, and other cities compared to Jiang Cheng were incomparable!
In the countryside, sometimes even water was scarce, and travel was extremely inconvenient. But in the county town, tap water was readily available, and transportation was very convenient.
For those accustomed to hardship in the countryside, such a life was no different from paradise!
He believed that a beauty like Qin Yu Xiang would sooner or later choose to stay here.
And if she wanted to stay here, she had no other way than to rely on a man like himself!
Xiao Gang had already declared in his heart that Qin Yu Xiang would undoubtedly be his!
As for Lin Xiao Tian, he was only fit to be a foil!
Just as he was reveling in his smugness, a sports car sped past his.
"Holy crap! A Porsche 911!"
"Which nouveau riche bought this kind of car!"
Xiao Gang was startled and jerked the steering wheel, pulling his car to the side.
The roads in the county town were too narrow, and some places lacked surveillance. If there was even a minor scrape, he would lose all his fortune for this lifetime and still be in debt.
Moreover, someone who could afford a Porsche 911 had a backing that he could absolutely not afford to offend.
Xiao Gang stared at the Porsche ahead, filled with reverence.
Little did he know that at this very moment, the person sitting in that car was Lin Xiao Tian, whom he disdained.
"There's still half an hour, I wonder if we can make it?" Qin Yu Xiang was a little worried.
After not seeing her mentor for so many years, Qin Yu Xiang seemed a bit anxious.
Compared to her mother, Teacher Qin was the one who had been the kindest to her.
When her mother passed away, it was also thanks to Teacher Qin's support that she was able to continue living in the village.
Otherwise, who would be willing to feed her from a hundred households?
It was Teacher Qin who had negotiated with the village and arranged for money to be transferred to Qin Yu Xiang's account each month as living expenses. As long as anyone was willing to take care of Qin Yu Xiang, these expenses would be reimbursed.
It was said that the living expenses were quite substantial!
Therefore, over the years, although Qin Yu Xiang was alone, she had always been well taken care of!
"Yu Xiang, I don't understand why this Teacher Qin is so good to you?" Lin Xiao Tian couldn't help but voice his doubts.
Ever since he learned about Teacher Qin's various treatments for Qin Yu Xiang, Lin Xiao Tian had been very puzzled. They had no blood relation, and no matter how much Teacher Qin liked Qin Yu Xiang, it shouldn't have reached this extent, right?
Not only did she stay to teach for six years, but she also sponsored Qin Yu Xiang for over ten years until Qin Yu Xiang got married, after which she completely left Qin Yu Xiang's life.
Lin Xiao Tian was accustomed to analyzing problems from the perspective of a villain; in his opinion, no one would be good to others unconditionally.
To achieve this, one either had a certain motive or the other party had a special identity.
But Qin Yu Xiang was just an ordinary village child, and Teacher Qin reportedly had her own family. Their identities clearly had nothing to be researched.
Then there was only one reason: Teacher Qin might have been good to Qin Yu Xiang for some motive.
However, what would this motive be?
After all, Qin Yu Xiang was just a child back then. What kind of motive would make someone put so much effort into nurturing her from childhood?
If Lin Xiao Tian hadn't known that Teacher Qin was a woman, he would have even suspected that Teacher Qin was infatuated with Qin Yu Xiang!
Lin Xiao Tian couldn't figure it out.
But after learning about this, Lin Xiao Tian secretly vowed in his heart to protect Qin Yu Xiang even more in the future!
As for Lin Xiao Tian's questions, Qin Yu Xiang herself could not provide an answer.
"This... I don't know either, but Teacher Qin has been genuinely good to me."
Lin Xiao Tian originally wanted to ask about blood relations, but the words got stuck in his throat and he held back.
Asking Qin Yu Xiang about such matters would yield no answer.
If he met Teacher Qin later, he might be able to get a few strands of hair.
The Shen Nong Medical Canon also contained secret methods for kinship verification, and he could verify his thoughts then.
The two chatted for a while longer in the car. Qin Yu Xiang mostly talked about how good Teacher Qin had been to her. It was evident that Qin Yu Xiang was truly grateful to this teacher.
Thus, as they talked, they arrived at their destination.
Liang Xu dropped off Lin Xiao Tian and Qin Yu Xiang and then went to find a parking spot.
Lin Xiao Tian finally saw the so-called Yue Hai Restaurant.
According to Xiao Gang, it was the largest restaurant in the area.
Lin Xiao Tian took a careful look.
The restaurant's sign was hung vertically on the second-floor wall. The first floor, apart from the restaurant entrance, housed a mobile phone store. The restaurant's frontage occupied only the area of a small bus stop, but judging by the length of the sign upstairs, the restaurant likely had at least three floors.
In this county town, such a restaurant could be considered upscale.
Lin Xiao Tian pulled Qin Yu Xiang and walked towards the restaurant.
The restaurant's front desk was on the second floor. Lin Xiao Tian waited for a while before a woman who looked like a waitress appeared. After explaining their purpose, the woman directly gave them the private room number.
As for why the woman was so certain, it was simple: at that moment, out of the three floors of this large restaurant, only one private room had guests.
Combined with Lin Xiao Tian's mention that the boss was also attending this gathering, the woman's target was immediately locked.
"Let's go!" Lin Xiao Tian said to Qin Yu Xiang.
"Mhmm!" Qin Yu Xiang nodded.
Lin Xiao Tian noticed that Qin Yu Xiang seemed a bit nervous and joked to comfort her:
"Yu Xiang, after not seeing your teacher for so long, you won't be too nervous to speak, will you?"
Hearing this, Qin Yu Xiang immediately pinched Lin Xiao Tian.
"Bad guy! I won't!"
"Ouch! That hurts!"
"You deserve it! Who told you to say that about me?" Qin Yu Xiang looked triumphant.
And at this very moment, inside the private room.
Everyone was chatting harmoniously.
"Big news! It's said Yu Xiang is coming too!"
"Yu Xiang? Qin Yu Xiang?"
Upon hearing this name, a beautiful figure flashed through the minds of all the men present.
"Are you sure? Is she really coming?"
"Xiao Gang said so, it's absolutely true!"
Upon hearing this, the male compatriots felt a lot more at ease. In contrast, some of the female compatriots present had entirely different expressions.
"They say she's bringing a man too, but he's a pauper!" someone added.
