Chapter 98: Who Is That Man? Lu Yanchen?

Opening the door, s.h.i.+ Guang removed her shoes and entered her home before flinging herself into a complete slump on the sofa.
She had just only laid down and was intending to head for a shower after a short rest when her phone rang. She had no choice but to sit up and reach for her phone in her bag.
It was her cousin, Mo Jin.
“Mo Jin…”
“Have you met with Qiao Yuwei today?” Mo Jin was currently studying abroad; therefore, it was morning for her when it was night time for s.h.i.+ Guang. Last night when she was deep in her sleep, she received a call from Qiao Yuwei.
“Yes,” s.h.i.+ Guang was a little bewildered. “How did you know?”
“I was fast asleep when I received a call from her, asking for your number.”
Mo Jin was speechless. This cousin of hers was born pretty. Since she was young, she was someone on the level of the school belle, and had countless suitors.
However, she was someone without substance. Not only that, she was pampered by her parents since young. Even though she was born from a lowly status, she had a raving ambition where she had even declared once that she would marry none other than someone from a distinguished family.
“Huh? Did you give it to her then?” s.h.i.+ Guang asked gently, secretly hoping that her cousin didn’t do it. She did not want to get tangled up with someone like Qiao Yuwei.
“Of course not! While others may not know, I’ve grown up with her, and I know clearer than anyone else the sort of person she is. For her to ask for your number all of a sudden, there must definitely be a reason behind it.”
“I met her at the beach today.”
“Were you with a tall and handsome hunk?”
“Yes!”
Feeling ashamed, Mo Jin sighed out, “She must have taken a liking to that man, right?”
s.h.i.+ Guang rubbed her nose. “Seems to be that way.”
Speechless, Mo Jin let out a m.u.f.fled laugh, “She must be sick in the head. She can like just about anybody. It’s not that I’m against her, but she’s got gra.s.s for brains. There’s nothing about her other than that face of hers. If someone were to truly live together with her, I’m sure no man would be able to take it. Wait, no…”
There were countless second-generation rich kids who were chasing after Qiao Yuwei. There was no reason why she should be so into any single one of them for no reason, right?
That man must be far from ordinary then. Mo Jin felt that there was something wrong with everything…and it then struck her.
Hesitating for a moment, she asked, “Who was that man? Was it…Lu Yanchen?”
s.h.i.+ Guang bit down on her lip, feeling a little exasperated—she was still found out in the end.
She hurriedly replied, “Yes, it’s him. However, Mo Jin, it’s not as you think it is. I’m merely his swimming coach.”
“Swimming coach? Why would you go and be his swimming coach? Is there something wrong with your head?” Mo Jin was so angered that she stood upright entirely.
“My sis is about to wake up…The doctor said that the chances of the operation succeeding can go up to eighty percent! Therefore, I…”
“Therefore, you went looking for Lu Yanchen for money?”
Feeling that Mo Jin was about to die from anger, s.h.i.+ Guang explained hurriedly, “No, no! I had the prize money from getting the champion’s place. There’s also money from the endors.e.m.e.nt contract of the club. However, I still lack despite that, hence I took on the job of a private swimming coach…Lu Yanchen’s coach. He has water vertigo, therefore, the rate charged would be higher. He wasn’t the one who signed the contract as well, it was his mother. None of us knew about it at the beginning. The reason why I was at the beach today was for the lesson.”
It was only after hearing that did Mo Jin heave out a sigh of relief. However, she was not entirely unworried. “But, you and Lu Yanchen…”
s.h.i.+ Guang replied affirmatively, “Mo Jin, I’ve got no room in my mind for those things right now. I want nothing except for sister to wake up. If my sister can wake up, I’ll be really happy even if I get eliminated from my selection test.”
“Really, you and him won’t…?”
“No, no…Absolutely not!”
“Go and take a look at grandmother if you’ve got time. I heard from my mother that her body isn’t doing all that well these days.”
“I’ll head over to visit her before the summer break ends.”
