It was very common for students to focus on their studies in school, but only few of them were able to
focus on their studies because they were in their twenties.
Sophia had finished all the notes, read through the notebook carefully, and felt that she had gained a
lot. When Sophia raised her head, she found the old man was looking at her. She smiled politely to
him.
At this time, the old man's expression had become very gentle. He didn't look like to be far away from
the lesson. He picked up his handbag and walked towards Sophia.
"May I have a look?" The old man asked, pointing at the notebook in Sophia's hand.
Sophia nodded and passed the notebook to the old man, her hands shaking. Sophia was nervous. She
had never expected that she would have the chance to meet such a big shot.
The old man carefully turned over Sophia's notes. He was surprised that she wrote down every word
he had said in class. He looked through it roughly again and found the girl's name on the first side of
the notebook: Sophia. The handwriting was good and lovely as though it was from a girl, but it was
powerful. The old man's eyes flashed a trace of excitement. It turned out that she was Sophia of
everyone's words.
On the other side, Sophia suddenly found that the old man was standing. She quickly stood up and
gave her seat to the old man, and whispered, "you can sit and watch!"
The old man glanced at Sophia with a smile and immediately understood her meaning. He sat in the
seat she had just sat.
"Do you understand the lesson I taught just now?" The old man closed the notebook and asked kindly.
Sophia nodded with satisfaction, and then shook her head immediately. She said shyly, "I got it, but I
have to go back and study some details. Moreover, I don't know exactly what you just mentioned... I
didn't majored in this before. I sort of leaving halfway? "
Sophia opened the notebook, and pointed out the content that the old man had said before. He could
tell that she was listening carefully. And the old man patiently explained it to Sophia according to what
he had just said.
"Sir, thank you for telling me so much..." Sophia closed the notebook and said to the old man with
satisfaction.
To be honest, Sophia felt very happy now. She felt that she was so lucky to have such a heavyweight to
personally explain everything to her.
Still with a smile, the old man said, "it's okay. There are not many descendants like you now. We should
encourage you more!" With that, the old man was about to walk out of the classroom. Sophia's stuff
had already been packed and she was about to leave. They temporarily walked along a path.
In the middle of their walk, the old man suddenly turned to Sophia and said, "by the way, I find several
ideas you just put forward very interesting and novel. I think you are talented in business. You should
work hard! "
The old man had a good impression of Sophia, which was completely different from what he was told
from other people and what he saw on the news.
Hearing the old man's praise, Sophia was indeed very happy, but she still said modestly, "don't be so
exaggerated. I am behind by many people. Only if I work harder can I change myself. I've chosen to
these classes in order to charge myself. "
The old man nodded in approval. He seemed to be satisfied with Sophia's answer.
It was getting dark. Several swallow birds flew over the road and the road lights were on.
When they just walked out of the door, the old man looked at Sophia and asked, "a smart girl like you
should have a boyfriend, right?"
Victor's face suddenly appeared in Sophia's mind. She lowered her head, smiled and said, "Yes."
The old gentleman asked again, "what kind of man is he?"
Sophia felt shy, but she couldn't hide her love on her face. She smiled and her voice became extremely
soft. "I have to tell you that although he looks cold, he actually cares about others."
Although Victor gave people a hard feeling, he almost met all Sophia's fantasy of love. Especially when
Sophia was rejected by Victor's family and the outside world, Victor stood out to protect her and
prevent her from any harm. He was even willing to be an enemy of the whole world for Sophia!
Of course Sophia was willing to do anything for Victor. They belonged to each other, only to each other!
The old man could not help but laugh when he heard this. "It seems that you two get along well with
each other."
Sophia nodded, there were two red marks on her cheeks, which made her look pretty and gorgeous.
"Do your parents agree to your marriage?" The old man kept asking about her relationship with Victor.
Sophia didn't want to answer this question, but due to respect from him, Sophia answered it one by
one. However, his question seemed to have stabbed in her heart, and she didn't look as good as
before.
She smiled bitterly and said, "his family don't support us being together." She paused for a moment, as
if her confidence had been increased, and continued, "but we have decided to love each other. I
believe that as long as we work hard, our family will definitely be touched and agree us to be together!"
"Why? Why are you so confident?"
Sophia stopped and looked at the old man, "because I love him, very much, and he loves me too."
They had reached an intersection, but the old man was not going to leave. He seemed to be interested
in Sophia, so he continued to ask: "Miss Sophia, where do you work? Maybe we'll meet again some
day. "
Sophia didn't want to tell too much personal information. Besides, the information about her on the
Internet was not over yet, so Sophia was afraid that this old man would feel disappointed when he
knew this. She had to skip the first question and said gently, "I hope I can see you again."
Sophia looked at the two lines in front and asked, "Sir, do you want to take this road or turn a corner?"
The old man looked at it and was about to answer it when the thunder suddenly came and it was
raining heavily.
The old man didn't bring any umbrella with him. Having noticed this, Sophia hastened to take out an
umbrella from her handbag. But this umbrella was a single one which could only cover one person. So,
Sophia put the umbrella over the old man's head and asked with concern, "sir, this place is not far from
your home. Is it convenient for you to go home?"
The old man nodded and answered, "it's a little far away. My home is in the suburb and it will take more
than an hour to get the subway."
The two stood there, Sophia had thought for a while, waved to grab a taxi and said, "sir, it's not
convenient to take a subway if it's raining. Let me help you hail a taxi. You can go back directly!"
Before the old man said anything, a taxi had stopped beside them. Sophia opened the door for the old
man and indicated him to get in, and handed him the umbrella in her hand.
"What about you?" The old man held the umbrella and asked in a panic.
Sophia gave a simple but casual smile, and said, "you can use this umbrella. We're in two different
directions, so it's not convenient for us. I'm young. It doesn't matter. You should pay more attention to
yourself! "
Then, Sophia quickly gave the driver two red bills and said, "please send him to his home's door!" The
driver nodded.
Sophia relieved. She closed the door, stood on the side of the road and waved to the old man.
It rained more heavily. Sophia whole person had been wet through. Her wet hair and clothes had stuck
to her body, which made her look a bit awkward. But she didn't care at all. All she was thinking about
was that old gentleman she met today. As long as he was fine, nothing else mattered.
The old man sitting on the back seat of the taxi stared at the umbrella in his hand for a long time, and a
smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
And Sophia was indeed not as others said. So he had confidence in Victor!
The old man looked out of the window at the rain and said to the driver: "stop at the next intersection."
Upon hearing that, the driver remembered what the young woman had told him and felt a little
embarrassed. But for some reason, the old man's aura was irresistible. He didn't dare to refute, so he
had to drive to the next intersection and stopped.
As soon as the taxi stopped, a man in a black suit opened the door for the old man, held an umbrella
and led him to a black car nearby. The driver stopped and found that was a Rolls Royce.
When the old man got in the car, the man who held an umbrella for him just put a new coat on him. "We
are now?" He asked.
The old man's amiable expression was gone and he said in a cold voice, "go back to Xiao family."
At night, Teresa was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The picture that Victor
with Sophia and the sternness of that day kept flashing through Teresa's mind. She was unwilling.
The so-called important class which Sophia got last time was Christopher's class. It gave Teresa a
sense of crisis. She didn't know what kind of person Christopher was, who used to be powerful in
business, but she heard that Christopher, who started from scratch, had no family background.
In this respect, they were totally different from the rich and noble people like Karl and Grace. That was
to say, in the eyes of Christopher, Sophia's humble family was no different from An family's daughter,
Teresa.
