Chapter 562: Chapter 562: A Person Standing Outside the Door

Li Ning went to Qing University for school, and Mei Tian Sha Zi sent her there.

Walking on the campus roads, Li Ning looked at the surroundings and couldn’t help but exclaim, “The school environment here in the country is actually quite nice.”

Mei Tian Sha Zi quietly said in Dao Country language, “Once you get to school, remember to find Nan Qiao. She’s familiar with the school, and since you both are in the medical field, you can’t go wrong seeking her out.”

Li Ning: “Mom, why do you insist that I find Nan Qiao? Even though we’re relatives, we’re really not that close.”

Li Ning felt a bit annoyed; she found it embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, Mei Tian Sha Zi’s tone was somewhat dissatisfied, even carrying a hint of coldness, “You don’t listen to me anymore?”

Li Ning didn’t dare not to listen; deep down, she felt an intense fear of Mei Tian Sha Zi.

“Mom, I’ll go, I’ll find Nan Qiao right now.”

Mei Tian Sha Zi was very satisfied with Li Ning’s response, looking at her approvingly, “Let’s go.”

…

Li Ning called Nan Qiao and learned she was in the Medical Club’s office, so she and Mei Tian Sha Zi headed there together.

Nan Qiao had just put on a black down jacket and sat down when they arrived.

Nan Qiao was somewhat surprised; the timing was so precise. Had these two known she was here all along?

Nan Qiao remained calm and greeted them proactively.

“Second Aunt, Ningning, you’re here.”

Li Ning: “I came to school today for registration. I heard you’re also at Qing University, so I came to see you. Sister Qiaoqiao, you have to look out for me in the future.”

Mei Tian Sha Zi politely said, “Qiaoqiao, Ningning is unfamiliar with this place and only knows you. I’m counting on you.”

Nan Qiao: “It’s not a problem, but I won’t be on campus for too long, so I might not be able to look after Ningning very well. But don’t worry, Second Aunt, I’ll introduce some classmates to her. Before long, she’ll get familiar with them.”

“Thank you for the trouble.” Mei Tian Sha Zi said with a smile.

“Thank you, Sister Qiaoqiao.” Li Ning casually linked arms with Nan Qiao, her innocent smile looking especially happy and guileless.

Nan Qiao had observed Li Ning, and she was not at all like she imagined.

As they were talking, Chen Man came in cheerfully carrying breakfast.

When she reached the doorway, she saw Li Ning linking arms with Nan Qiao.

Chen Man’s face darkened!

That was her spot!

Only she should be linking arms with Nan Qiao!

What is this woman up to!

Is she trying to climb the social ladder!

Show some dignity!

Chen Man walked in and placed the breakfast on the table, “Qiaoqiao, I bought you breakfast. You haven’t eaten yet, right? Remember to eat.”

Saying this, Chen Man linked arms with Nan Qiao from the other side and directly pulled Nan Qiao over to herself.

Nan Qiao’s arm slipped out of Li Ning’s grasp, and she successfully sat in a chair.

Chen Man: “Who are they?”

Nan Qiao introduced, “This is my second aunt, and this is Li Ning, who’s also attending Qing University.”

Nan Qiao continued, “Second Aunt, Ningning, this is my cousin, Chen Man.”

Chen Man: “Oh, so they’re the relatives from Dao Country?”

Li Ning’s expression didn’t look very good; she knew that Hua Country people generally disliked people from Dao Country.

“Manman, did you finish today’s tasks? If not, hurry up and get busy.”

Nan Qiao was worried that Chen Man might speak bluntly without realizing it.

“All done, don’t worry.”

Chen Man made an OK gesture, and Nan Qiao knew the task was accomplished.

Li Ning curiously glanced at the two of them, “Sister Qiaoqiao, what are you two up to? On the way here, I heard you founded the Medical Club. Sister Qiaoqiao, can I join?”

Chen Man: “Sorry, the Medical Club is full.”

Nan Qiao explained, “There were too many applicants, and after screening, the list was already announced. If we add you now, I’m afraid some people might cause trouble, giving you a negative impact.”

Li Ning was utterly surprised, “There’s still an impact?”

Chen Man: “You just got here, you might not be aware. People are all very keen to join our Medical Club, competing fiercely. Besides, our membership is kept even-numbered for convenience in experiments. Adding you would make it odd-numbered, and picking another person would still stir up a storm. Li Ning, focus on your studies first. Our traditional Chinese medicine is profound, and you’ll need a lot of time to delve into it.”

Mei Tian Sha Zi didn’t say anything upon hearing this.

Li Ning glanced at Mei Tian Sha Zi, then continued, “If I can’t join the Medical Club, can I work with you guys as a non-member?”

Chen Man: “That’s even less possible. If you start, others who know you might come playing the personal connection card, making it tough for Qiaoqiao!”

Chen Man was really vigorous!

All in all, in a nutshell, they couldn’t let Li Ning stay.

Mei Tian Sha Zi spoke up, “If that’s the case, Ningning, get familiar with the school first. Don’t make it difficult for Qiaoqiao.”

Nan Qiao: “Ningning, get familiar with your surroundings first. Next time we recruit, I’ll definitely prioritize you.”

“Thank you, Qiaoqiao!” Li Ning was overjoyed.

Mei Tian Sha Zi took Li Ning with her as they walked out.

Walking on campus, Mei Tian Sha Zi’s expression wasn’t very good.

Li Ning followed beside her, not daring to make a sound.

“Ningning, Qiaoqiao is your relative, remember to get closer to her while you’re in school.”

“Mom, I will. I’ll go find her later.”

Mei Tian Sha Zi nodded in satisfaction, “Ningning, I’m very happy you think this way. With you attending Qing University alone, your father and I are concerned. Since there’s someone you know at school, you should get close, understand what I mean?”

“Mom, I understand.”

The word “close” made it crystal clear. What wouldn’t she understand?

…

Nan Qiao was eating a purple rice ball, with Chen Man sitting beside her.

“Qiaoqiao, you need to be cautious around those two relatives of yours. They should know better than to impose. Trying to join without any sort of vetting, do they think we’re running a canteen?”

“Manman, don’t worry, I won’t agree to let them in easily. There’s a national law and Medical Club rules. The member list won’t change; we’ll stick to the original plan.”

“Great, I like your straightforwardness.”

Nan Qiao smiled, “How do you feel working with Ah Nian on experiments?”

“Pretty good. Although Professor Zheng is strict, I’ve learned a lot of knowledge from him and benefited greatly.”

“He’s strict?” Nan Qiao didn’t really know about this.

“Very strict, especially at work, meticulous and serious,” Chen Man chuckled. “But since he has an appealing face, his sternness isn’t too intimidating.”

Being handsome solves all.

Nan Qiao: “…”

The Zheng Qinnian Nan Qiao knew wasn’t that strict.

Looks like she still didn’t know enough.

At this time, someone was standing outside the door.

“Yu Meng, long time no see.”
