Chapter 234: Chapter 234

Girls from good families are truly well-mannered, intelligent, and considerate.

Huang Rui’s impression of this girl skyrocketed.

"May I ask how I should address you?"

The girl’s cool, clear voice was like a breeze brushing past the ear: "Shen You’an."

"Shen You’an?" Huang Rui murmured, feeling that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, inspiration dawned on her, and she lifted her head in shock: "You... you’re this year’s Qingzhou’s top scorer in the high school entrance exams?"

Xue Qingfang, who had just stepped out of the elevator, hurriedly ducked behind a corner upon hearing this and peeked out furtively.

Huang Rui’s voice became sharp from disbelief.

Shen You’an—the name was so renowned.

How could she possibly not know it?

She never would’ve guessed that the illustrious figure was the girl standing before her.

And Luo Qian, this classmate’s level of understatement is remarkable—he never once mentioned that his cousin was Shen You’an.

Suddenly, she thought of Luo Qian’s recent surge in academic performance.

With a cousin , making progress would be inevitable.

It was said that the Lanya Group treated her like a treasure, pouring resources into her development.

Just from this perspective, offending her wouldn’t be wise.

At the moment, Huang Rui felt a trace of anxiety—who on earth was blind enough to bully Luo Qian? If she found out, she wouldn’t let them off lightly.

The girl’s demeanor remained calm and composed, like a gentle breeze. In Huang Rui’s eyes, she seemed all the more steady, poised, and unfathomable.

Just then, Huang Rui received a phone call and, slightly embarrassed, said, "Apologies, Shen, an urgent matter at school needs my attention. I’ll come see Luo next time."

Shen You’an nodded faintly: "Safe travels, Mr. Huang."

Once Huang Rui had left, Shen You’an took out her phone and made a call.

"Luke, help me investigate someone."

Nearby, the sound of footsteps approached, and Shen You’an turned her head.

It was a beautiful girl, dressed in the school uniform of No. 3 High School. She looked pure and obedient.

The girl studied Shen You’an’s face. "Are you Luo Qian’s sister?"

Shen You’an smiled lightly: "I am. May I ask who you are?"

"I’m Xue Qingfang, Luo Qian’s classmate. I know who hurt Luo Qian."

Shen You’an raised an eyebrow: "No need for an investigation, then."

With that, she hung up the phone.

Xue Qingfang hesitated for a moment: "Sister, though I know who hurt Luo Qian, they’re not easy to deal with..."

"Don’t worry, little sister. Just tell me everything you know," Shen You’an said gently.

Shen You’an didn’t return to school that afternoon, opting instead to stay by Luo Qian’s bedside.

At four o’clock, Luo Qian woke up.

Seeing Shen You’an sitting beside his bed, Luo Qian’s expression wavered. His pale lips pressed together tightly: "Sis..."

Shen You’an gently wiped his dry lips with a water-soaked cotton swab.

"I’ve already told Aunt you’re attending a math training camp, and I’ve made arrangements with the school. Just make sure you don’t slip up."

"Aunt isn’t in good health; don’t let her worry."

Luo Qian looked at her seriously: "Sis, thank you."

"Next time something happens, call me immediately."

After a pause, Shen You’an added, "We’re family."

Luo Qian’s eyes became misty. No matter how hard punches struck him, he hadn’t uttered a sound, yet now tears trickled down.

He revealed a flash of vulnerability, one fitting of a thirteen-year-old boy.

"Luckily, you were brought here in time; it’s nothing too serious. Rest well in the hospital for the next few days. Don’t worry about anything else."

"By the way, there’s a girl with the surname Xue outside the door. She seems quite concerned about you. Want to see her?"

Luo Qian’s pupils slightly contracted, and his already wet lips tightened even further.

"Let her leave. My injury has nothing to do with her."

Shen You’an raised an eyebrow. It seemed like a case of a hero rescuing a maiden.

She tucked the corners of his blanket, adjusted the room’s temperature to a comfortable level, and said:

"I’m heading out now. I’ve hired a caregiver to stay with you overnight. If anything happens, call me."

As Shen You’an left the room, she noticed Xue Qingfang still waiting outside.

Seeing Shen You’an come out, Xue Qingfang immediately stood up, holding her backpack.

"Sister, has Luo Qian woken up?"

"Yes, he has," Shen You’an replied with a soft smile.

"Luo Qian said his injury has nothing to do with you, so don’t burden yourself. You should head home early."

Xue Qingfang pouted: "Of course it has something to do with me! If I hadn’t played police sirens on my phone to scare them off, would he have been able to escape? Honestly, I’m his lifesaver."

The girl’s radiant expression diluted the innocence of her appearance, revealing a bit of sharpness and flair.

Shen You’an curved her lips slightly: "Then, on behalf of Xiao Qian, let me thank you. I’ll treat you to a meal some time."

With that, she walked away.

Xue Qingfang hurriedly chased after her: "Sister Shen, why don’t you treat me to a meal now?"

"Not now. I have other matters to attend to."

"Then can we exchange WeChat contacts?" Xue Qingfang asked, shaking her phone.
