Chapter 512: Teacher Qi Xue

Song Xiyun was stunned, thrown off by Jiang Nian's dejected expression.

"Is that true?"

"Don't believe him," Xu Qianqian pulled Song Xiyun over, glaring at Jiang Nian with disdain. "He's lying."

"Only a mother truly knows her child—this man wouldn't look like this if he'd really failed."

Seeing he was exposed, Jiang Nian stopped pretending—he'd long since figured her out.

They knew each other too well to outmaneuver one another.

At the time, she'd regretted coming to this meeting—not just because her body couldn't handle it, but because her emotions were too unbearable.

After stepping out of the elevator, Su Nan stared for several seconds at the words "Intimate Paradise Co., Ltd." on the building, then walked on toward his own company; seconds later, he looked at his company's logo wall, nodded in satisfaction, and turned away.

"Alright then, you two talk first—I'll go attend to other matters." Lin Xi nodded to the servants inside the room, signaling them to leave; then she smiled gently at Ya and gave Lan Lianxue a warning glance before stepping out.

If I remember right, the top position at Uchiha Group now belongs to Uchiha Itachi; below him, Obito and Shisui are tied as vice presidents—or rotating CEOs—effectively the second and third figures.

That's the principle: first courtesy, then force—stroke her the right way before revealing your intent.

She ate her ice cream, scooping some for Ye Jiaqi, then some for Qiao Sinian, forcing them to eat it all, no complaints allowed.

Watching Mo Lingran's expression, Lan Yuchen raised an eyebrow—this classmate really did seem a little different.

All I could think about was figuring out Chen Jie's relationship with Qin Shuo, so I didn't overthink it—I just followed him as he picked up the room key at the front desk, and we walked into the elevator one after the other.

And Tian Tian said he wouldn't visit Uncle Tang's house for now, so that would reduce the chances of Mom and Uncle Tang meeting.

"Naturally, the Gu family is a great clan—they still have hidden cards. Watch them closely; this time, we strike to kill," the old patriarch muttered, a flash of envy crossing his face as he recalled how glorious and gifted the old Gu patriarch had been in his youth.

"Hand over what's in the coffin, and you'll be a honored guest of the Jun family," Jun Wusheng smiled faintly.

Seeing Qi Ming's strong reaction, Qiangzi quietly went back to grab his chopsticks and taste Qi Ming's dish.

To survive, one can abandon anything—even face, dignity, even freedom.

A particularly massive bear beast's spectral shadow suddenly materialized, and the instant it appeared, an overwhelming aura surged forth, powerful enough to make one dizzy.

Still, he was quite pleased, for the skeleton elder, in combat with Lin Feng, seemed to have gained some insight.

Tomorrow, their school will likely be flooded by parents demanding answers; many parents may begin questioning their teachers' competence.

"Unless you can fly, escaping my Soul Fusion Technique is impossible," Xie Yue growled before vanishing again into the red mist, launching another attack against Yang Yi.

Yan Chanyi turned toward the voice and saw Shen Xier, grinning with false cheer, beside her expressionless sister, Shen Mengzhi.

"Dr. Qiao, you're too kind—no need for your help, I've already finished everything. Sit down, dinner's ready—this last soup is done." Zhou Hao finished speaking, walking over to place the soup pot on the table.

In the sweltering heat, Zuo Liang felt nothing but cold air filling the room, pressing against him until he had nowhere to hide—he finally understood the grief his father must have felt when writing that memorial, and the sorrow with which he faced his old friend's death.
