Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle

Ye Qian said with a smile, “Look at the two of you. This is just a misunderstanding. Nanxing, Nanyang was only trying to explain to Gu Yan how it was like to be Jing Tian’s student. Gu Yan grew up with Jing Tian, so she understood his personality better than us.” With a single statement, she defused the situation, even I felt like clapping for her.

I smiled slightly. “Sister Ye Qian, you’re right. My sister and I often get into conflicts due to these small understanding. This is all my fault, I don’t know how to express myself well. This is something that I need to learn from Sister Ye Qian. But in conclusion, teacher does treat me very well.”

I saw Gu Yan’s fingers twist together when I said that.

Gu Yan then seemed to set her jaw and asked, “Nanxing, have you seen any woman who has been appearing often around your teacher lately?” Her voice had changed, her tone was stiff. She looked at me with a fixed gaze. So they’re here for information.

I smiled. Looking into her eyes, I said softly, “That would be me! I am around him most often!” My eyes twinkled with joy.

Gu Yan’s expression froze. “You?”

I nodded. Well, I wasn’t lying.

Ye Qian once again jumped to the rescue, “Ah Yan, Nanyang is Jing Tian’s student, so of course, she’s going to be around him often. Don’t overthink it.” Ye Qian was a master manipulator, her mind was always clear and her words were always ambiguous.

I smiled faintly and didn’t comment. As expected, Gu Yan’s slightly relaxed expression tensed up again.

Ye Qian looked around and asked with a natural expression, “Isn’t Mr. Tong at home?”

I shook my head. “He usually comes back very late at night.”

Ye Qian said, “I heard that Mr. Tong has recently made a few critical business acquisition. I wish to learn more about business from him but I fear my visit would be too abrupt. So Nanxing, could you help me convey my deepest respect to Mr. Tong?” Ye Qian was graceful and kind. But my head rang with alarm. What is this woman up to? Isn’t her goal Jing Ning? Why is she coming after my little uncle?

Nanyang asked, “Sister Ye Qian, you plan to go into business?”

Ye Qian smiled and said, “That’s right! And there is no better way to learn than to be in the front line. I’ve never encountered a better businessman than Mr. Tong. I am sure I will be able to learn a lot from him. There are so many talented people at M City that I don’t have the heart to leave.”

Nanyang smiled. “Sister Ye Qian, you are so outstanding, you’ll be a treasure for any company. By the way, Brother Jing Ning is also going to participate in some business acquisition for his family in a few weeks times. I can invite him out for you. You two can talk business together. Jing Ning is not as busy as Mr. Tong, it’s easier to meet him.”

I looked at Nanyang and sighed internally. Why do you insist on signing your death certificate?

Ye Qian nodded in a reserved manner. “Sure. I would be glad to learn from Master Ning too.”

Nanyang nodded happily in agreement.

At that moment, I heard footsteps coming from outside. These two had been missing for days but they had to pick this moment to return home. In walked my little uncle and Jing Tian.

The hens on the couch immediately jumped up in joy… except Nanyang.

“Jing Tian!” Gu Yan rushed towards him. Ye Qian was more reserved but she was still very happy to see my little uncle. “Mr. Tong, long time no see!”

Both my uncle and Jing Tian were stunned for a moment. Jing Tian’s gaze passed through the crowd and fell on me.

We hadn’t seen each other for months, I really wanted to hug him, but…

For one, these annoying hens were there. For two, I had promised my uncle that I would focus on my studies for now. For the sake of our future, I have to learn to restrain myself!

My little uncle smiled, “I didn’t expect we’d have so many guests. Is today a holiday?” Before I could say anything, my little uncle turned to me, “Sister Li said that you’ve been studying until midnight. Did you force her to make false statements for you? Because if that’s true, you wouldn’t have time to entertain guests.”

I…

Jing Tian didn’t even acknowledge Gu Yan. He darkened his face at me. “Why didn’t you hand in your homework yesterday night? And you only scored 80 in your chemistry weekly test?”

My little uncle sighed, “Jing Tian, I’ll leave Nanxing with you. I really can’t do much about her studies. Don’t hold back!”

Jing Tian nodded at the guests and then turned to roar at me. “Follow me to the study!” Then he strode away. I couldn’t even describe my feelings at that moment.

My little uncle nudged me. “Why are you still standing there? The exam is in just a few days! Must you make me worry like this?”

*What… How is this my fault
