Two days later.
Friday at noon.
Tomorrow was the day Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling would get engaged. After handling all the matters involving Geng Yuehua and Qu Yunxuan, Dong Xuebin returned to the Capital City. Of course, there was still one last person he needed to see: Yu Meixia. Sister Yu's daughter, Yu Qianqian, had been accepted into university this year—and she had done well enough to get into a university in the Capital City. Xiao Qian was actually a year older than Xie Hao, but because of family troubles back then, she had lost a year of schooling and had wandered with her mother, begging for food. That was why she had only taken the college entrance exam this year, a year late. School had already been in session for quite some time, and Yu Meixia had come to the Capital City with her daughter. Dong Xuebin had heard that they had rented a place near the school.
It was quite a coincidence—well, perhaps Xiao Qian had chosen it deliberately. When applying for university, she had actually applied to Dong Xuebin's alma mater—Lian University. Lian University was not a particularly prestigious school. Its admission requirements were relatively low, and it offered slightly more enrollment spots to out-of-province students than other universities. That might have been why Xiao Qian chose Lian University. She was a good student, but only compared to her own classmates. Across the whole province, she was not among the best—just average.
After getting off the plane, Dong Xuebin called Yu Meixia. "Sister Yu, I'm in the Capital City. Want to meet up? Where are you?"
Yu Meixia was taken aback. "I'm at the place we rented."
Dong Xuebin said, "Near Qian Qian's school? All right, I know where it is."
"Do you know the way?
