Chapter 846: Ji Ya, The School Legend
Ji Ya leaned against the backseat in the car as she looked out the car window with her exquisite face reflecting in the side mirror. She was smiling and seemed to be in a great mood.
Before the car arrived at Tsing University, Ji Ya’s phone rang in her bag.
She was reading a Math book when the phone rang, so she put down her book and answered her phone. “Hi, Mom.”
Song Qi said warmly over the phone, “Yaya, I heard the driver say that you visited the Min family today.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Ji Ya and touched the pages of the book on her lap gently. “I saw Uncle Jian.”
Song Qi’s voice turned gentler the moment she heard this. “Then… then did you get to talk to him?”
Min Jian was the director of the Ministry of National Security, so no ordinary citizens were able to see him. Even the most powerful families in the capital were unable to get acquainted with him easily.
“I simply said h.e.l.lo.” Ji Ya pondered and then added. “I think Uncle Jian doesn’t look as unapproachable as people claim.”
Although Min Jian gave off a stern aura at first look, he seemed courteous enough.
Song Qi held her phone tightly in excitement upon hearing this. If her daughter could get friendly with the Min family, both her family and her in-laws would have a totally different status in the future.
Song Qi pondered before she said, “Yaya, if you have the chance, you have to make friends with them. This connection will be good for your future.”
Her daughter was a well brought up, beautiful young woman. Only very few other people in high society could surpa.s.s her.
“Mom, there is no hurry for that. We should let nature take its course,” said Ji Ya calmly.
“Uh huh.” Song Qi knew her daughter always had plans of her own and was aware of what she was doing. Hence, she was far more outstanding than all the sons in the Ji family.
Despite being a girl, she had high status in the Ji family because of her outstanding performance.
“Oh yes. Are you still at the Min residence?” asked Song Qi swiftly.
“I have already left the place. I am on my way to school,” replied Ji Ya softly.
Song Qi nodded the moment she heard this. After taking a sip of water, a thought crossed her mind and she asked. “Do you know anything about the freshmen this year?”
Ji Ya was caught by surprise. She did not expect her mother to ask about this, but she paused before she replied. “Nope. I have been too busy to take notice. My teacher wants me to come up with a thesis and submit a report, so I don’t have time to pay any attention to the freshmen.”
Song Qi knew her daughter was a hot favorite at Tsing University and was personally being groomed by the university professors. The moment she heard what her daughter said, she automatically looked proud. “Uh huh. In that case, don’t bother. Just focus on your work.”
“Mom, why are you suddenly asking me about this though?” asked Ji Ya quizzically.
Song Qi thought over it for a moment. Since her daughter was a sweet girl, she would probably reach out to Huo Yao and get distracted from her studies if she got to know that her cousin was at Tsing University as well.
If Song Ning’s daughter found out that Ji Ya was such a legend at school and threw herself at Ji Ya, it would only hold up Ji Ya.
After all, Song Ning’s daughter was brought up in a small town, so she could not expect her to have even the most basic manners.
That won’t do! She could not let her daughter know about Huo Yao entering Tsing University.
Song Qi made an excuse as she smiled and said, “Nothing. I was just asking to see if there are any new talents in the Mathematics and Systems Science division.”
Was that it?
Ji Ya did not continue thinking about it and simply answered. “I don’t know!”
