When the two of them were about to reach the library, Wu Duo suddenly froze.

It was as if he had seen something. Qiao Mei followed his line of sight and saw a girl holding a lunchbox in the distance. The girl was delicate-looking and dressed very elegantly. She could be considered quite a beauty. Could it be that this girl was the one who betrayed Wu Duo back then?

“Hey! Come back to your senses! Is that the woman you told me about?” Qiao Mei asked.

“It’s her…” Wu Duo said with a little anger.

Back when Cui Hua was dating him, she did not know how to do anything. Wu Duo did not even let her do the housework. He only wanted to let her live a pampered life at home and was more than willing to take over all the manual and tiring work. He would always be the first one at Cui Hua’s house whenever something happened. Yet, looking at the situation in front of him, it seemed that Cui Hua had even learned how to cook.

Wu Duo had never seen such an expectant look on her face before. It appeared that the guy she was with was really… lucky.

“Let’s go, let’s take another route,” Wu Duo said softly.

Just as they were about to turn around and leave, Cui Hua suddenly called out loudly to Wu Duo. “Wu Duo! Is that you?”

Wu Duo stood rooted to the spot, not knowing what to do. He was not ready to face Cui Hua now and he did not know what to say to her.

Qiao Mei stood at the side to watch the drama. She was very curious about how Wu Duo would face this woman. If Wu Duo did not say anything, just took it lightly and chose to ignore what happened back then, Qiao Mei would give up on him and would not work with him in the future.

She did not need a man who had no guts. Such a person would never be able to do anything outstanding.

“Wu Duo… it’s really you! You really got into Capital University…” Cui Hua ran over and looked at Wu Duo with tears in her eyes. She looked so delicate, as if she would shatter with a light touch.

Qiao Mei’s eyes widened. She did not expect Cui Hua to be such a person. She

was so teary and looked so pitiful that even Qiao Mei could not bear to berate her. This was really good acting. She must pick up this skill and try it on Xia Zhe!

Wu Duo was still standing rooted in a daze. Qiao Mei smiled and asked, “Wu Duo, why aren’t you doing an introduction for us? Is this someone you know?”

Only then did Wu Duo come back to his senses and said calmly, “Her name is

Cui Hua and she’s my neighbor.”

Cui Hua suddenly looked at Qiao Mei with joy in her eyes. However, Qiao Mei could clearly tell that Cui Hua was only pretending. There was actually a look of disgust in Cui Hua’s eyes.

“This must be Sister-in-law! You’re so beautiful! Wu Duo, I see that you’re going to be a father soon! Congratulations. I didn’t expect you to be the first one to become a father among our friends,” Cui Hua said.

“No, no, no! This is not my wife! This is my mentor! You’ve misunderstood!” Wu Duo hurriedly explained.

He did not want to provoke the Xia family. If the Xia family found out about this, he would definitely be skinned alive! It was true that in the past, he was fond of Qiao Mei and wanted to get to know her better. However, after seeing her big house and secretly asking around about the Xia family’s reputation in the capital, he did not have the guts to do anything else!

Cui Hua looked at Wu Duo anxiously trying to explain the situation and smiled happily. However, she purposely smiled in such a way that it was not obvious. Cui Hua knew that Wu Duo knew her very well and always paid a lot of attention to her, so he would definitely catch a glimpse of the faint smile.

By now, Qiao Mei even felt like getting to know Cui Hua and learn from her! Cui Hua acted so naturally that there were no flaws at all. This was a real expert at work!

“Oh, so she’s your mentor. I’m so sorry to make a mistake. Brother Wu Duo, congratulations. Now that you’ve entered Capital University, everyone in the village must be so proud of you. I’m also happy for you,” Cui Hua said with a smile.

Wu Duo scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “Really? Thank you.”

Qiao Mei looked at Wu Duo and rolled her eyes. Was this man really that stupid? Why did he become like this the moment he met Cui Hua? It was no wonder that he was such an easy target back then.

“Cui Hua, are you waiting for someone?” Qiao Mei asked as she pointed at the lunchbox that Cui Hua was holding.

Wu Duo, who was still in a daze just now, instantly sobered up. He frowned slightly and said, “Did Xie Jing ask you to wait here? Where is he? Why hasn’t he come to look for you?”

“He… he’s in class. I just got here,” Cui Hua whispered..
