Since Yu Zerong took over the group, work has suddenly become extremely busy.

He seemed to be caught in a high-speed spinning vortex, his time was cut into pieces by various affairs, and he no longer had any extra free time to watch over Jiang Mian and study.

Sometimes, he would be busy away from home for several days and didn't even have time to return to Jiangcheng.

Jiang Mian's barbecue restaurant has reopened and is much larger than before.

The gym on the second floor and the three stores on the first floor have been connected, and the store is now spacious and bright.

She hired a round-faced girl wearing glasses as the store manager. The girl was meticulous and conscientious in her work and spoke in a gentle manner, which made people feel very comfortable.

The store also recruited a lot of new employees. Master Zhou became the head chef in the kitchen, and the two old employees in the store also managed two groups of waiters respectively. Everything was running in an orderly manner.

The weather is getting colder and the wind is so cold that even windbreakers can no longer resist the cold.

Fortunately, there was heating at home. Yu Zerong wore an exquisite suit and a thick coat on the outside, making him look tall and handsome.

Before he left, he kissed Jiang Mian.

Although they lived under the same roof, due to Yu Zerong's busy work, they sometimes had few opportunities to chat.

When Yu Zerong got home, Jiang Mian was often already asleep. Her peaceful sleeping face made Yu Zerong feel guilty and helpless.

This year's New Year's Eve, Yu Zerong was unable to be with Jiang Mian, but was discussing business abroad.

Jiang Mian accepted these situations relatively well. She understood Yu Zerong's work responsibilities and was accustomed to living an independent life.

However, Yu Zerong felt very uncomfortable. Sometimes he was very busy abroad, but he would still take time to rush back to Jiangcheng just to see Jiang Mian, and then he had to leave again.

Jiang Mian felt distressed to see him so tired, so she suggested that they have a video chat for a while every day.

She actually feels that her life is quite fulfilling. She has various things to do every day and she doesn't feel uncomfortable when she is away from others. This may be because she has been accustomed to living alone for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-January.

Although Jiang Mian doesn't have to go to school on weekdays, he still has to take exams during the midterm and final exams.

That day, Jiang Mian stood at the school gate, showed his student ID, and walked in calmly.

She looked at the sign on campus and walked along the road to the examination room for Class 2, Grade 3.

Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of the people around her. Seeing that she was dressed expensively, looked beautiful and looked so unfamiliar, they couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

Jiang Mian is not the sociable type, she just walked to her seat and sat down silently.

After the exam started, she answered the questions attentively. After finishing the exam and handing in the paper, she left. She didn't want to delay any longer because the driver was still waiting for her at the door.

As soon as the exam was over, the students' discussions spread like ripples in the campus corridors.

Some of them leaned on the railings, while others huddled together.

However, their eyes were closely following the private car that was gradually moving away, their eyes full of amazement and emotion.

A student looked at the direction the car left and asked curiously, "Is this the one from the class that's on leave? They're here for the midterm and final exams."

"Your family must be very wealthy. The clothes you're wearing and the bag you're carrying look quite expensive."

At this moment, a student folded his arms across his chest, leaned back slightly, and showed an expression of both envy and a little yearning on his face. He couldn't help but sigh: "What a white, rich and beautiful woman."

"How could she be fair, rich and beautiful? How could she study in this school? Fair, rich and beautiful girls have already gone abroad." Questioning voices soon arose.

The person who spoke had his hands in his pockets, his body leaning forward slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of suspicion and disdain.

"That's true when you think about it." The student with his arms crossed scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

A knowledgeable student said, "But that car costs over 1000 million."

This number is like a huge exclamation mark in their hearts, strongly impacting their perception of wealth and life.

Some of them opened their mouths wide, some had their eyes wide open, and their faces were full of shock.

"More than 1000 million yuan can buy a very large mansion in Jiangcheng, but this is just someone else's private car."

One of the students couldn't help but shook his head, sighed, then turned around and slowly walked back to the classroom.

People will only be jealous of those who are a little better than themselves, and if they are much better, they can only look up to them.

For them, Jiang Mian is undoubtedly the one they need to look up to.

As soon as Jiang Mian got in the car, she heard the driver ask her: "The lady asked if you want to go home for dinner after the exam. If you do, she will take you home now. She bought some things for you."

Ever since Zhu Xinyue became familiar with Jiang Mian, she didn't even know Yu Zerong's last name or first name.

She only cared about Jiang Mian, her good daughter, and she wanted to hold her in her arms every day. She was always worried that Jiang Mian would be hungry or cold when Yu Zerong was away on a business trip.

Jiang Mian followed the driver back home. As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw Zhu Xinyue sitting elegantly on the sofa.

"Auntie, I'm here."

"Oh, my baby Mianmian, come and see what I bought for you." Zhu Xinyue pulled Jiang Mian to sit on the sofa with a loving face.

She picked up an exquisite box and opened it, revealing a glass jadeite inside.

"I went to see, and the imperial green isn't suitable for a little girl. The violet I bought you is perfect for your pink diamond ring."

While Zhu Xinyue was talking excitedly, she picked up the hand cream and carefully applied it on Jiang Mian's hands.

Her movements were gentle and focused, and she kept muttering, "I'll tell you if it hurts."

However, she didn't give Jiang Mian any time to react and put it on her in one go.

"It fits just right." Zhu Xinyue looked at the jadeite on Jiang Mian's hand and smiled with satisfaction, her eyes full of relief and joy.

"Thank you, Auntie. I like it very much." Jiang Mian raised her head and looked at Zhu Xinyue, with gratitude flashing in her eyes. Her smile was as bright and moving as a flower blooming in spring.

"Did you go well in the exam?" Zhu Xinyue looked at her expectantly.

"I can do it all." Jiang Mian answered confidently, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

Seeing her acting like a little princess, Zhu Xinyue praised her, "Oh, I knew our Mianmian is the smartest child in the world."

She gently stroked Jiang Mian's hair, her eyes full of pampering.

At this time, Yu Xiwen had finished shopping in the supermarket and was about to take out his mobile phone to pay the bill.

When he opened his phone and saw the news that 1.3 million yuan had been spent from the bank, he couldn't help but scratch his head.

His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
