Chapter 525: 245 Harvest (first update)_2

However, as the woman walked over there, her demeanor exuded a strong, headstrong air that made her look difficult to deal with.

Xie Zhen sneaked a glance at Liu Muxue and wondered if the two were sisters.

Ming Jing smiled, “Sister Nana.”

With a warm smile on her face, Mao Nana casually took Ming Jing’s hand and said, “Ming Jing, congratulations! I knew you’d definitely win the gold medal. I’ve never met a smarter girl than you.”

“Are all these people your classmates? Jiangzhou truly has a lot of talented people. Everyone looks so pretty. I’ll treat you all to lunch today to celebrate Ming Jing’s gold medal.” Mao Nana waved her hand and said generously.

Liu Muxue raised an eyebrow, “Sister Nana?”

After looking at her, Mao Nana laughed and said, “What a cute little sister! What’s your name?”

Liu Muxue lightly pursed her lips, “Liu Muxue.”

“Nice name, your family name is Liu? As in the Liu tree?”

“What else could it be?”

Mao Nana, in a good mood these past few days, didn’t want to argue with a child and called out, “Mr. Liu, A Jiang.”

Upon hearing her voice, Bo Yujiang, Liu Xiangyue, Su Wen, and Bo Lianye all turned their heads.

During the winter afternoon at five o’clock, the thin sunlight slanted westward, casting a chilling white light on them that felt like transparent snowflakes floating in the air, chilling them to the bone as they breathed.

The small garden outside the auditorium was filled with beautiful banana flowers, their rich fragrance wafting through the cold air.

Beautiful women and flowers were like the perfect match for heroes and horses.

Bo Yujiang’s gaze inadvertently fell on the tallest and most outstanding girl. There was a magical allure about her. Suddenly, Bo Yujiang felt even colder and wrapped her coat tighter around herself unconsciously.

“I am treating everyone tonight to celebrate Ming Jing’s gold medal win and, of course, Lianye’s as well. Let’s go to Dechang Building!”

Su Wen opened her eyes wide and quietly approached Bo Lianye, whispering, “How come Nana seems so familiar with Ming Jing? What’s up with that?”

Bo Lianye gently shook her head, just as puzzled.

Bo Yujiang shook her head, “You guys go ahead. I’m not feeling well. I’d like to go home and rest first.”

Bo Yujiang nodded gracefully to Ming Jing and the others and then turned and left.

Liu Xiangyue looked at Liu Muxue apologetically and said, “You guys have fun. I have to take A Jiang home.”

Without delay, he hurried off to catch up with Bo Yujiang.

With a polite smile, Bo Lianye said, “Nana, I won’t take part in this celebration. Enjoy your time.”

After saying that, she left with Su Wen.

Liu Muxue rolled her eyes and sneered, “They didn’t take us seriously anyway. I mean, we’re just nouveau riche from Jiangzhou, unlike those fine ladies from Jingzhou.”

Her sarcastic tone was undoubtedly infuriating.

Not far away, Bo Lianye stopped for a moment, and Su Wen cursed, “Who does she think she is? How dare she talk like that?”

“Forget it.” Bo Lianye brushed it off and walked away with a magnanimous expression.

In the blink of an eye, they were all gone, leaving Mao Nana disheveled in the wind.

Touching her slightly red, cold nose, Mao Nana said, “Forget it, if they don’t want to go, we will!”Ming Jing smiled, “Nana, is that Sister A Jiang a good friend of yours?”

Mao Nana quickly replied upon hearing Ming Jing take the initiative to talk to her, “Yeah, we’ve been friends for over a decade. A Jiang is a really nice person, and she’s very talented, too. She’s the….” Mao Nana paused, remembering that A Jiang didn’t like others knowing about her identity as a writer, and immediately stopped talking.

“She’s the what?” Ming Jing asked with her clear and wide eyes.

Mao Nana laughed, “She’s a genuine talent, a top graduate from Jingzhou University. She writes articles and has columns in many magazines and newspapers. Though talented girls often have a bit of arrogance, A Jiang is different. She’s very gentle and never loses her temper. Other than you, she’s the person with the best temperament I know.”

“That Sister Jiang seems to be a gentle and intellectual big sister,” Ming Jing praised.

“Haha, her surname is not Jiang, she’s Bo Lianye’s aunt, so her surname is Bo. She’s the young lady of the Bo family.”

Song Yinzhang, who was next to them, raised his eyebrows in surprise. So the woman they met earlier was the young lady of the Bo family.

It was indeed worth meeting her in person after hearing her name for so long.

“So she’s Bo Lianye’s aunt, but they don’t look alike at all.” Xie Zhen interrupted, only to realize he said the wrong thing, and quickly covered his mouth.

A glimmer of light flew by in Ming Jing’s eyes, quickly fading into calm.

Mao Nana was stunned for a moment, then laughed, “You know, I never noticed until you mentioned it. They indeed don’t look much alike, but she’s truly the young lady of the Bo family.”

It wasn’t surprising, though. Granny Bo had been married for many years without children, so she adopted a boy from the Bo family’s side branch. That boy was Bo Lianye’s father, Bo Yujian. Granny Bo took care of him as if he was her own and taught him well. Later, at the age of 42, Granny Bo gave birth to a pair of twins, which was big news at the time. It wasn’t a secret in Jingzhou.

So, Bo Lianye didn’t share any blood relationship with Granny Bo. It wasn’t strange for her to not look like Bo Yujiang.

“True or not? Don’t speak too soon. Nowadays, there are many news stories about babies being switched at birth.” He glanced at Ming Jing with a meaningful look.

In this aspect, Ming Jing indeed had the most authority to speak.

Mao Nana laughed, “Such a dramatic thing, apart from plays and Ming Jing in real life, there couldn’t possibly be another case.”

“You can’t be so sure about that.” Anyway, Liu Muxue always had to argue in order to feel comfortable, making her a walking argument factory.

Mao Nana didn’t take her words to heart, and the group went towards the school gate. Mao Nana called Dechang Building to reserve a private room and had the driver bring the van to pick them up.

There was a convenience store across the street from the school. The cold weather didn’t bring many pedestrians, so business was not booming. Some students coming out of the school entered the store to buy snacks, and the shopkeeper behind the cashier desk cracked sunflower seeds with a smile: “You guys are students from the Winter Camp, right? It ended today?”

“Yep, the north is too cold for us. I’ve caught a cold already. The southern region is much nicer. Give me a Kanto Stew.”

The store owner stood up and started preparing the food. While making the Kanto Stew, she said, “This year, the cold wave is affecting even the southern region, causing temperatures to drop. The weather has become strange. It hasn’t been so cold this early in previous years. The heavens sure know how to make life difficult for us….”

Several young people lined up to buy Kanto Stew. Even with the heater on in the shop, they were still rubbing their cold hands.

A girl pointed to the long dining table in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and said, “Look at that man over there, isn’t he weird?”

Several girls looked over simultaneously, seeing a man sitting at the table with his back to them. He was wearing a black padded coat, making his figure look quite obese. He also had a military green Lei Feng hat on his head. It was an out-of-date style, yet somehow, it gave him a sense of uniqueness.

The man’s back was perfectly straight, he looked like he was frozen in place, almost like a statue at first glance.

“With such an old-fashioned look, I’m sure he’s still handsome. Want to bet?”

Across the street, a group of people walked out of Foreign Language High School through the gates.

From a distance, one of them pointed at the crowd and asked, “Isn’t that Ming Jing?”

Nobody noticed, but the man with his back to them had his stiff eyes moving slightly under his sunglasses, his gaze penetrating the glass and falling on the tall figure outdoors.

With a “click,” the chair made a light sound, which went unnoticed by everyone.
