"Right, I'll ask him once we're home," said Mrs. Xu at once.
"Why don't you directly ask Jinchen?" asked Mrs. Xu's friend.
"If we directly ask Jinchen, Jinchen will know I told you. He'll be mad at me," said Xu Qinyin. Actually, Xu Jinchen wouldn't be mad, but she simply didn't want him to know that she told his mother about the secret. Therefore, Mrs. Xu gave up the idea of asking Xu Jinchen.

Zi Beiying didn't feel relieved till she had walked far away.
Nan joked with her. "Miss, it seems that Mrs. Xu likes you very much."
"Why did you say that? It has nothing to do with me!" Zi Beiying felt a little awkward and immediately retorted in annoyance. It seemed she was mad at being wronged.
In fact, she felt relaxed after seeing Mrs. Xu's good attitude towards her. After all, no one was willing to leave a bad impression on their seniors.
