She doesn't want to pretend anymore

"Although it's the father's fault for not educating his child, good bamboo may turn into bad bamboo shoots. Mr. Chen, I understand you very well. Don't be too sad."

Manshu looked sincere, as if he was comforting Mr. Chen.

Zhu Kuangsheng couldn't help laughing out loud: "Yes, we all understand Lao Chen. It's really not easy to raise such a daughter."

"But you can't refuse this apology." Master Zhu patted his young apprentice on the shoulder, "You said it yourself, it's the father's fault if he doesn't teach his child well. Old Chen should bear part of the responsibility."

Chen Songling opened his mouth: "..." He smelled a conspiracy.

This Zhu Kuangsheng, his words are as merciless as ever.

"I'll ask someone to send it to Manshu later. I heard that you are in the same class as Xiaoran, right? And you're deskmate with our little...a distant relative?" Chen Songling agreed to apologize and changed the subject at the right time.

Manshu remembered that Chen Ran had helped her, and that Chen Yuting was still her friend. She didn't want to embarrass Old Lady Chen, so she followed his words and said, "Yes, we are classmates."

"Chen Ran is a boy. If you need any help at school, feel free to ask him. Where is Chen Yuting? Has he caused you any trouble?"

Manshu shook his head: "No, Chen Yuting is very quiet." He slept in every class.

"Enough, why are you trying to get close to my little disciple?" Seeing that Chen Songling wanted to talk to Manshu, Master Zhu simply and rudely separated the two.

Manshu became Master Zhu's apprentice, and was accepted as an exception after Yan Zhan.

Yan Zhan was originally the person that Master Zhu valued the most. Not only was he not dissatisfied with Manshu, he also took care of her in every way. It can be seen that the senior and junior brothers and sisters get along very well.

This made many people who once wanted to become Zhu's disciples express their dissatisfaction.

One of them was Miss Cao.

She had never expected that Manshu had this identity.

She felt dissatisfied, and when her grandfather took her to wish her grandfather a happy birthday in person, she expressed this emotion.

After the elders exchanged greetings, Cao Yuqing glanced at Manshu who was following Elder Zhu and Yan Zhan, and asked, "Elder Zhu, you publicly said before that you would no longer accept disciples, and Mr. Yan was your last disciple. Why did you change your mind now?"

Zhu Kuangsheng looked towards Cao Yuqing, his eyes gentle but carrying invisible pressure.

Cao Yuqing stiffened her neck and her palms were sweaty.

She felt a little regretful that she was too impulsive.

Especially when she found Yan Zhan was also looking at her, Cao Yuqing's throat became dry with nervousness.

He looks at me like this. Does that mean he is starting to pay attention to me?

Is he also dissatisfied with Yan Manshu, this little burden?

Cao Yuqing was making wild guesses in her mind. Manshu was heartless and showed no expression on his face, but his eyes were filled with the light of anticipation for a good show.

Common name: gloating.

Yes, the master made an exception and accepted another disciple. The outside world must be very curious about her. I’m afraid Cao Yuqing is not the first one who wants to ask in person.

It's just that she is more courageous.

As for where her courage comes from.

Manshu glanced at Yan Zhan who was standing next to him and was as steady as a rock, and sighed: With Third Uncle's looks, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a disaster, right?

I just wonder how they will feel when they find out that she is Yan Zhan’s niece.

Zhu Lao guessed that someone would ask this question.

He looked at Cao Yuqing leisurely: "There is no special reason, the girl just suits my taste."

With just one sentence, all of Cao Yuqing's resentment was blocked.

If she continued to ask, it would be tactless.

Why not accept you? It’s because you’re not to the old man’s liking!
