82 Second Master Xiang’s Iron Tree Blooms

Zhong Kai looked at Xiang Yin’s expression and knew that he had gone overboard with his question. He quickly explained, “Last night during dinner, something not very pleasant happened. Gu Man’s sister said something that made me have some doubts about Gu Man’s character, so I asked you another question.”

“Gu Rou?” Xiang Yin frowned slightly when he heard this.

“Yes, you know, I’m a talent recruiter. Not only do I look at results, but I also look at character. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come specially.”

“Teacher, I understand your concerns, but I promise you that Gu Man is very good.”

Zhong Kai was stunned. Xiang Yin would actually vouch for Gu Man without hesitation!

Seeing Zhong Kai’s stunned expression, Xiang Yin explained, “Although I’ve only met her a few times, almost every time I see her, she’s helping others. There was even once when she almost drowned in the water in order to save a drowning child. How bad can such a person’s character be?”

Zhong Kai did not expect this silent girl to be such a kind person.

Zhong Kai said thankfully, “Fortunately, I chose to believe her last night. Otherwise, I would have broken her heart. I can’t forgive myself now.”

“Teacher, you don’t know anything to begin with. Some people’s words are specious and they know how to sow discord, so don’t blame yourself,” Xiang Yin comforted.

“But as an older sister, why did she say that about Gu Man?” Zhong Kai asked in confusion. The person who kept saying that she wanted to protect her younger sister actually misled others to misunderstand her.

“I don’t know Gu Rou well. I only know that she’s not Gu Man’s biological sister. Although Gu Man is the Gu family’s biological daughter, she’s despised by the Gu family. They even say that she’s their adopted daughter. Moreover, this involves the grudges of the previous generation.”

Zhong Kai was already dumbfounded when he heard this. He muttered to himself, “There’s actually such a family who treats their biological daughter as their adopted daughter. No wonder Zhuang Yan said that Gu Man’s parents don’t care about Gu Man. So it’s true.”

“Teacher, if Gu Man can meet the requirements in terms of knowledge, you can take her in as your disciple without worry. Personally, I also hope to be able to help her.” It was rare for Xiang Yin to reveal his inner thoughts like this.

Zhong Kai said without hesitation, “I trust you and my junior. Now, let’s see if Gu Man really has the talent in this aspect. The subsequent tests will be even more difficult than the questions we saw just now. Let’s see if she can successfully clear them.”

“Teacher, is Gu Man confident?” Xiang Yin asked again.

Zhong Kai immediately replied, “When it comes to confidence, she’s more confident than any of us. She might have seen my hesitation at that time, so she said directly that even if she didn’t pass the talent plan, she would still rely on her own ability to get into Zhong Chu University. Listen, she’s determined to get into Zhong Chu University! She’s bold!”

“Although Gu Man doesn’t like to talk, she’s not someone who exaggerates. She must have some confidence to dare say that.” At this point, a smile appeared on Xiang Yin’s lips, but it disappeared in an instant, and Zhong Kai still saw it.

Zhong Kai smiled knowingly. “You’re speaking up for her now?”

Xiang Yin smiled without saying anything.

Zhong Kai dispelled his worries and felt even more carefree. “By the way, Zhuang Yan and Gu Man will send me to the airport later.”

Faced with Zhong Kai’s hidden hint, Xiang Yin said helplessly, “Teacher, don’t do anything to help us. Gu Man is currently in the midst of her college entrance examination. Don’t delay her.”

“Don’t worry, I know what’s important.” Zhong Kai raised his cup and took a sip of coffee guiltily. Actually, he really wanted to matchmake them just now.

Who wouldn’t want to see Second Master Xiang’s iron tree bloom?

Han City International Airport

Gu Man and Zhuang Yan sat in the airport lobby and waited for Zhong Kai.

“Did your sister make things difficult for you when you went back last night?” Zhuang Yan asked with concern.

When Gu Man heard this, a smile appeared on her lips. However, this smile seemed to be grateful for Zhuang Yan’s concern for her, but also seemed to be mocking Gu Rou. “She can’t make things difficult for me yet.”

When Zhuang Yan heard Gu Man’s words, she said worriedly, “Your sister doesn’t look simple. Be careful.”
