If Chen Heng cared about Chen Xiao at all, Chen Xiao's life would not be so miserable.
However, the truth was that Chen Heng had never spent any effort to get close to Chen Xiao or care about Chen Xiao's life.
When she thought about how Chen Heng had the face to say to Chen Xiao that she had everything and Li Cheng had nothing, and that she should give her fiancé to Li Cheng, she couldn't help but think of how shameless Chen Heng was when Li Cheng wanted to steal Chen Xiao's fiancé.
Jiujiu felt a bit of heartache for Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao was clearly a good girl, but she met such a scumbag of a father and a family like that. She really had eight lifetimes of bad luck.
Because it was almost autumn, the clothes that Jiujiu bought were all long-sleeved and long-legged. Even though it was a bit hot to wear them now, she could continue to wear them in the future.
After spending half of the money that Chen Heng had given her, Jiujiu took the clothes that she had bought and prepared to take the bus to school.
What Jiujiu did not expect was that she would meet Yan Senze in the supermarket.
Yan Senze was wearing a white T-shirt and sky-blue jeans as he silently stood next to a white-haired old lady, patiently listening to her speak. Even though he did not say anything, it was clear that he liked this old lady.
Thinking about the gossip that she had heard from the cafeteria aunties, this old lady that Yan Senze was treating so patiently was most likely Yan Senze's grandmother.
It was not just Jiujiu who did not expect to meet Yan Senze; Yan Senze also did not expect to meet Jiujiu. The instant he saw Jiujiu, a look of surprise appeared on Yan Senze's face before he nodded at Jiujiu and greeted her.
Yan Senze was famous at school for being arrogant, and now that he was willing to greet her, Jiujiu felt quite flattered.
Jiujiu gave Yan Senze a bright smile and went to get her things.
Then, Jiujiu met Yan Senze again at the place where she was retrieving her things.
They met again, and Yan Senze was standing behind her. Jiujiu put her backpack on her shoulder and said with a smile, "You're here to buy things too."
Yan Senze didn't expect to meet Jiujiu again here. He was startled for a moment before he nodded and said, "Yes."
After Yan Senze finished speaking, he bent down to take something. Jiujiu stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether she should leave directly or tell Yan Senze before leaving.
Jiujiu's mind was in a dilemma. Just as she was about to leave, Yan Senze's grandmother suddenly reached out and held Jiujiu's arm. A loving smile appeared on her wrinkled face. She looked at Jiujiu and asked, "You're my Xiao Ze's classmate, right?"
Grandma Yan's voice was very gentle, and her kind face made people unable to help but have a good impression of her.
Jiujiu hurriedly said, "Hello grandma, my name is Chen Xiao, I'm Yan Senze's classmate."
"So you're Chen Xiao." After hearing Jiujiu say that her name was Chen Xiao, Grandma Yan instantly exclaimed. Originally, she had only taken the initiative to greet Jiujiu because she was curious about who could make Yan Senze take the initiative to greet Jiujiu. Her originally shocked heart was even more shocked.
After every exam, Yan Senze would tell her about his results, and this time was no exception.
But the difference was that this time, after Yan Senze finished speaking, he added, "There's another person in our class named Chen Xiao who is the same as me. She's first in the whole grade."
Yan Senze was someone else's child since he was young. No matter what exam he took, he was always first. Even in the whole grade, he had never been second. He was recognized as a god of study.
Now he actually said that there was someone with the same results as him. How could Grandma Yan not be surprised?
After being surprised, she became curious. She was curious about what kind of student could get the same results as Yan Senze.
Because she was used to seeing Yan Senze's appearance, Grandma Yan didn't think that Jiujiu's appearance was that of a dull student with big frame glasses. But in the end, she always felt that Jiujiu's appearance wasn't particularly good looking.
But now seeing Jiujiu's appearance, even though she was used to seeing her grandson Yan Senze, Grandma Yan couldn't help but be shocked.
She didn't expect Jiujiu to not only be so good at studying, but also look so good.
And the most important thing was that Yan Senze actually took the initiative to greet Jiujiu.
One had to know that there were less than five people who Yan Senze would take the initiative to greet. Now, he was actually willing to take the initiative to greet Jiujiu. It could be seen that in Yan Senze's heart, he actually cared about Jiujiu.
Grandma Yan was used to seeing Yan Senze ignore everyone. This was the first time she saw Yan Senze take the initiative to acknowledge someone. She almost cried tears of joy.
Grandma Yan raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes. The hand that was originally holding Jiujiu's wrist also held Jiujiu's hand.
Grandma Yan's hand wasn't big, but it was very soft and very warm. When she held Jiujiu's hand tightly, it was particularly reassuring.
Grandma Yan looked up at Jiujiu and held Jiujiu's hand tightly. She used the palm of her hand to continuously stroke the back of Jiujiu's hand. She used a pleading tone to say to Jiujiu, "Jiujiu, can you promise Grandma one thing?"
Grandma Yan also knew that it was the first time she met Jiujiu, so it was a bit excessive to make this request. But now, she had no other choice.
She was getting older and older, and her body was getting worse and worse. Recently, she had been diagnosed with small problems such as coronary heart disease and high blood pressure. Even if she took medicine on time every day, she would still have many small problems such as headaches and fever every time the season changed.
Grandma Yan didn't particularly care about her own body, but when she thought that if she died, Yan Senze wouldn't even have a person to talk to in the future, her heart couldn't help but suffer.
This grandson of hers had been well-behaved since he was a child. Anyone who saw him would praise him as a good child. Unfortunately, he met that pair of unreliable parents, causing him to become like this without saying anything.
Grandma Yan had thought of many ways to let Yan Senze communicate with others, but it was useless if Yan Senze was unwilling to communicate with others.
Grandma Yan had also thought of finding a psychiatrist to help smooth things over.
However, first of all, the cost of seeing a psychiatrist was more expensive and she couldn't afford it. Second of all, Yan Senze was really too smart. He wouldn't show any flaws at all. Even the best psychiatrist was useless.
Because Yan Senze was unwilling to communicate with others, Grandma Yan had been worried a lot. Now that she met Jiujiu, whom Yan Senze was willing to take the initiative to talk to, Grandma Yan was like seeing her last life-saving straw. She grabbed it and didn't want to let go.
"What's the matter?"
"Can you help Grandma take care of Little Ze when you're at school in the future?" After Grandma Yan finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Yan Senze, who was standing behind her, and her face became gentler little by little. "My Little Ze has been shy since he was a child. He doesn't talk much to others. I see that he's willing to take the initiative to talk to you, so you must have a good relationship with him. So, can you promise Grandma that you'll take care of Little Ze for me?"
