Su Nanzhi was born with a heart condition and was once told she wouldn't live past 18. Yet, she survived. Because of a pair of extraordinary eyes, her heart gradually became calm and unperturbe...
Chapter 21 Enrollment
"What else? Let the whole family wait for you alone?" Su Linlin retorted, her eyes full of anticipation for a good show.
Su Nanzhi: “…”
She looked at the breakfast on the table, then at the clock on the wall which was not yet half past six, and finally at the old and young people who might have gotten up before six.
"Aren't you sleepy?" Su Nanzhi asked a soul-searching question.
The young master at the table, who was one year younger than Su Linlin, yawned at the perfect moment to show his respect.
Who isn’t sleepy?
Especially for today's young people who can stay up until two or three in the morning.
But unfortunately, the old lady in the family goes to bed early and sleeps less. She wakes up around five o'clock. The old lady has a high status and is respected in the Su family. The eldest son, the pillar of the family, is a filial son who is praised by everyone. Naturally, other people also flatter the old lady.
Su Nanzhi thought of her mother-in-law who had taken care of her for many years. She used to get up early, but when Su Nanzhi woke up at noon, the breakfast was still warm.
Her mother-in-law really loves her.
Su Nanzhi has begun to miss her former idle life.
"Since you're up, sit down and have breakfast." Old Mrs. Su spoke, and the brief confrontation stopped.
Su Nanzhi sat next to Su Linlin, and on the other side of Su Linlin was her younger brother Su Zhenyan, a sleepy brother who was severely sleep-deprived.
Su Nanzhi accepted the breakfast in front of her well. She was a picky eater, but also a person with a strong ability to adapt to the environment.
The Su family’s breakfast was not bad, but the taste was too light, obviously the old lady’s taste.
Su Nanzhi felt that the Su family was really boring.
"Nanzhi," her third aunt said, "The driver will take you to school to complete the enrollment procedures shortly."
Su Nanzhi lowered her head and said "Oh", looking quite obedient.
Wan Siqian nodded with satisfaction.
In the Su family, she didn't need to take care of anyone except the children of the eldest wife, but it was not a loss for her to sell her to an orphan.
After breakfast, except for Su Zhenyan who rushed back to his room to catch up on some sleep, everyone else was busy with their own things. Su Linlin even went back to her room and carefully put on almost no makeup, the legendary bare-faced makeup.
Su Nanzhi was not in the same car as Su Linlin and Su Zhenyan. She had a backpack, and no one knew what was in it.
Before Su Linlin left, she specifically warned her not to tell others at school that they were cousins.
Su Nanzhi thought about it and nodded. It was not a big problem. She didn’t look alike with Su Linlin, except that they both had the surname Su.
However, the names of the girls in their Su family are all reduplicated words, and Su Nanzhi's name sounds even less like it.
The Su family's driver diligently took Su Nanzhi to the campus of Beijing No. 1 Middle School and to the administrative building.
Su Nanzhi said, "Uncle driver, I can report in myself. You can go back first."
"How can that be possible? The Third Madam asked me to complete the admission procedures for you."
"No need, I know all of these." Su Nanzhi said.
The driver didn't know who to listen to for a moment, but the third lady in front of him didn't seem to be afraid of the new environment.
The driver eventually left.
Su Nanzhi carried her bag and walked upstairs. The principal's office was on the third floor, and there were many other offices on the third floor. She walked all the way to the back before she saw the principal's office.
The door opened and there seemed to be more than one person inside. Su Nanzhi knocked on the door politely.
