He had just been lamenting, but now, he felt that the world was even smaller.

She didn’t expect Sheng Yang to be that woman’s daughter. Sheng Yang even became so powerful and was even friends with her now.

No matter how slow Sheng Yang was, she could figure it out.

Academician Zhao was the sister of her uncle’s wife, but she did not know the exact situation of her sister-in-law’s family at all. It seemed that she had really been indulging in research all these years.

Zhao Caihua understood what was going on and chuckled. The two of them looked at each other in silence.

Kang Lixing was the first to speak. “Then… Professor Zhao, we’ll leave first.”

Businessmen were indeed businessmen. They recovered quickly and spoke in an official tone.

“Okay.” Zhao Caihua had regained her composure.

After Kang Lixing left, there weren’t many people in the classroom who still surrounded Zhao Caihua. They all started discussing Sheng Yang’s uncle.

“What a family. They’re all so good-looking.”

“Ah, I really want to be Sheng Yang’s aunt.”

“What are you thinking? That’s Senior Kang’s father!”

“What? How would I know? But it’s strange. I saw that he wasn’t wearing a wedding ring.”

“What’s so strange about that? It’s troublesome to wear wedding rings now. There are plenty of people who don’t wear wedding rings these days.”

Zhao Caihua placed her hand on the podium and looked down at her fingers silently.

After leaving the school building, Kang Lixing and Sheng Yang walked side by side.

Sheng Yang suddenly glanced at him. “Uncle, you don’t seem to know Academician Zhao all that well.”

Speaking of which, they should be considered closer relatives.

It was rare for her to be influenced by Fang Duo and become gossipy.

As slow as she was, she also felt that the atmosphere just now was not right.

It was as if she and her classmates were superfluous.

“Well, we’re not very close,” Kang Lixing replied smoothly, his expression unchanged. “Sinuo’s mother has set up boundaries with her family. By the way, Yangyang, you told me you want to go to Lanca?”

He changed the subject quickly.

Sheng Yang nodded. She had asked her uncle about this immediately because her grandmother had told her that the Kang family seemed to have trade ties with Lanca.

Kang Lixing’s eyes darkened. “To be honest, I’m not sure I agree with you going to Lanca.”

“?”

“Yangyang, you know that the main battlefield for our family’s business is overseas, but what you don’t know is that 70% of it is actually Lanca.”

Sheng Yang wasn’t impatient. She tilted her head and listened quietly.

Her porcelain skin and amber eyes made her look like a fairy.

Kang Lixing took a deep breath. “There are no laws in a place like Lanca. Our business is there. We’re good, but we have many enemies. It’s a little dangerous for you to go there. Besides, many people there know how to shoot. Firearms are allowed. It’s not very safe for a girl like you.”

Sheng Yang raised an eyebrow. “Uncle, do you need me to show you what I can do?”

Kang Lixing caught on at once and smiled. “Just hear me out. I know I can’t stop you even if I don’t approve of your decision. I’m just filling you in on these situations.”

Sheng Yang raised her eyebrows again. “How many of our family’s enemies are there, Uncle?”

Kang Lixing took a deep breath. “Yangyang, I believe you have the ability to protect yourself, but you shouldn’t have any further thoughts about that place.”

“Oh.” Sheng Yang lowered her head. Kang Lixing wasn’t sure if she truly took his words to heart.

Kang Lixing had no choice but to restrain himself and speak more forcefully, “If you have any other thoughts, I will not only advise against them, I will have to stop you from going…”
