Chapter 386: Stay Away from Her

“Shuxian is back?” Bo Yanching only asked his brother.

“Yes, he came back early in the morning.

Fourth Young Master drove for a few hours, fell asleep as soon as he got home, and hasn’t gotten up yet.

Miss Qianqian also came back with him, and she’s been fussing about seeing uncle all day.

Old Lady is soothing her right now.

You should go take a look.”

“Go to my room and get the box that is placed at the door of the wardrobe.”

“Okay!”

Bo Yanching said “Thanks for the trouble” and then headed for the villa.

Nan Jiaojiao was pulled by Bo Qingshan to the backyard, next to a pavilion, sat an old water tank.

This tank and the lake inside the estate, several steps away, were both antiques.

The patterns on the tank had been washed smooth by rain and wind, making the original designs hard to see.

It was priceless.

Bo Qingshan actually used it to raise goldfish.

He grabbed a handful of fish food and scattered it inside, his elbow propped on the rim, leaning in eagerly, “Sister Jiaojiao, isn’t it beautiful?

My fourth uncle brought it back for me.”

“Your fourth uncle?” Nan Jiaojiao asked casually.

“My fourth uncle is an archaeologist.

He doesn’t often come back, it’s just that—”

It seemed difficult to start, or perhaps he thought of someone, his expression showing a trace of scorn as he slightly sneered, “ah, never mind, she won’t stay long anyway.”

“Who?”

Nan Jiaojiao leaned on a stone bench, furrowing her brows in confusion.

She always felt Bo Qingshan was speaking in riddles to her.

“My fourth uncle’s wife, you be careful, no no, stay away from her, don’t play with her.”

Nan Jiaojiao rested her chin on one hand, “Hard to get along with?”

“Not exactly, ah, you’ll know when you meet her.”

“Oh.” Nan Jiaojiao deliberately drew out her tone, infusing it with a hint of mockery.

“There are also people who can deflate your ego, how fitting.”

Bo Qingshan’s hand shook, “Sister Jiaojiao, was your Chinese teacher by any chance a PE teacher when you were a kid?”

“My young uncle taught me; he never went to school.”

“He dared to teach you without having gone to school?” Bo Qingshan’s eyes widened, almost as if the words “leading astray” were written across his face.

Nan Jiaojiao calmly nodded, “So, he wanted me to study more and sent me to university.”

Bo Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief, “A timely turnaround, a good man.

There’s still hope for the older generation.”

He thought to himself that anyone who could be called uncle by Nan Jiaojiao must be pushing forty, definitely from an older generation.

Nan Jiaojiao was momentarily stumped but was just about to explain her young uncle’s age when suddenly she heard a shrill voice.

“Ugly freak!”

She instantly tensed up as if electrified, jerking involuntarily.

Turning around, she locked eyes with the beady eyes of a parrot hanging in a cage in the pavilion.

“Who hung it here?!”

“Oh, Xiao Ba, probably Great Grandmother forgot it here while taking a stroll.”

“Do me a favor and take it back, will you?”

Nan Jiaojiao pleaded as she looked at Xiao Ba, feeling like the annoying bird was glaring at her with unblinking eyes, suddenly flapping wildly inside the cage.

“Ugly freak, ugly freak.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t respond.

“Ugly freak, you’re ugly!”

Nan Jiaojiao closed her eyes and tapped Bo Qingshan, “That bird is calling you.”

Bo Qingshan immediately looked at his reflection in the water tank and confidently declared, “How could I possibly be ugly?

It’s calling you.”

Nan Jiaojiao took a deep breath and walked toward the pavilion.
