In the end, Susan felt awkward at the gaze.
The reason she asked was that she had found out Yasmin's identity and was worried that lan would get
hurt if both of them were to fall in love.
Given that he wasn't an ordinary person, there was a limit to how many blows he could take.
Consequently, Susan's concerns were eased at the moment.
When they returned to the university, she walked Kurt back to the Faculty of Finance before she
returned to her own class.
When class was finally over at noon, she grabbed her lunch card and umbrella before leaving her
classroom.
Instead of heading to the cafeteria, she returned to the Faculty of Finance.
"Susan, are you here to see lan? He has gone out for lunch."
By then, everyone knew who she was considering how often she dropped by.
Therefore, they would automatically inform her that lan wasn't around the moment they saw her.
However, lan wasn't the one she was looking for this time.
"Yasmin, is your class over? Would you like to head to the cafeteria together?"
"Huh?"
Just when she popped out of the staircase, Yasmin was briefly stunned when she heard Susan calling
out to her.
ls she inviting me to go to the cafeteria with her? Isn't she lan's aunt? Why is she doing this? Are we
going without lan? As questions littered her mind, Yasmin asked, "My class is over.However, aren't you
here to see lan? He is probably in the classroom still.I had just gone to the student council to deal with
some matters.Shall I get him for you?"
Yasmin was congenial as usual.
Susan shook her head.
"There's no need to, as he has gone to the cafeteria.Since I have run into you, I just wanted to invite
you along.I'm sure you haven't had lunch, have you?"
"O-Oh, not yet."
Yasmin felt the anxiety within her ease after being told the purpose of Susan's visit.
Ever since she learned that Susan was lan's aunt, she would feel inexplicably nervous every time she
saw the latter.
Fortunately, she was just passing by.
With her bag slung behind her back, Yasmin felt a little awkward as she walked alongside Susan.
"Yasmin, where are you from? I heard from lan that you helped him get his salary back.You're really
amazing for doing that."
"Don't mention it"
Yasmin blushed at the compliment.
"I barely did anything at all.I just happened to be a little more experienced due to the many jobs I held
before.That's the reason why I was able to help him" she frantically explained.
However, she had no idea that lan never told Susan any of that.
The latter had deduced everything simply by connecting the dots.
"Really? In that case, where are you from? Do you always have to look for a job due to difficult
circumstances at home?"
Just as expected, Susan pressed on with her questions the moment Yasmin replied.It was as if she had
set Yasmin up with her earlier query.
Naturally, Yasmin didn't think too much of it.
"That's right.I come from Xenhall.My dad died when I was young, leaving both my mom and me to rely
on each other.All these years, it wasn't easy for her to support me in my studies.Therefore, I hope to
elevate her burden once I entered university."
When she explained her family situation, she did so proudly and didn't attempt to hide it just because
she was poor.
As a result, Susan was filled with admiration after hearing her backstory.
"Wow, I'm impressed that you're able to help your family out even though you have just entered
university.By the way, why did your dad die early? Was it because he was sick?"
"No, my dad met an accident while searching for my younger brother."
When the words left Yasmin's mouth, a sorrowful expression descended upon her pretty face.It was as
if the sparkle in her eye had suddenly dimmed.
An accident while looking for her brother? In that case, two lives were...
At that moment, Susan fell silent as she continued to walk.
With one hand holding an umbrella, her other hand clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned pale.
"My brother was kidnapped when he was young, causing our family to be devastated.Subsequently, my
dad traveled all over in search of him, while my mom stayed at home to raise me.Unfortunately, my dad
lost his life before he could locate my brother."
Oblivious to the change in Susan's expression, Yasmin continued her story.Her gruesome past was like
a bloody scar on her family.
Despite the fact that many years had passed, neither mother nor daughter dared to bring it up.
In fact, Yasmin didn't even dare think about it.
Consequently, the only thing she could do was to work and study hard, with the hope that she could
land a respectable job upon graduation and lead a better life together with her mother.
"Erm...do you hate the person who kidnapped your brother?" Susan asked suddenly while walking
beside her.
Upon hearing the question, a sudden sense of hatred welled up within Yasmin.
"Of course.That's the reason why I chose to major in law.My goal is to find those animals one day and
throw all of them into prison!"
Susan was rendered speechless.
Until they arrived at the cafeteria, neither of them said another word.
