Shen Honggang was naturally bad at arguing and couldn't handle the situation. Faced with Chen Feng's unreasonable demands and aggressive behavior, he could only swallow his anger.

In order to get more money, Chen Feng showed no regard for their more than 20 years of marriage. Shen Honggang couldn't reach an agreement with her and had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

When Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan returned to the forest farm, Old Man Xu was the first to run out to greet them.

"My dear granddaughter, you're finally back! I've gotten so thin from being away for a week."

Old Xu opened the door for them with a big smile, while complaining like a child.

Shen Jingyan opened her suitcase and took out the sesame brittle and almond jujube cake she had bought from the capital to present to Old Man Xu.

"Grandpa, here's some local specialty I bought for you, try it!"

Old Xu picked it up and started eating, nodding as he ate, "Hmm, it's from Xu Jin Ji, isn't it? Ten years have passed, and the taste hasn't changed at all!"

Gu Zhiyun's brow twitched upon hearing this: "Professor Xu, you've remembered you're from the capital?"

Old Xu's mouth was full of pastries: "Hmm, it seems so. I remember this taste; I ate it ten years ago."

Gu Zhiyun recalled the conversation between the two men on the train.

He also asked Gu Huaiqian and Fang Ru if they knew a university professor surnamed Xu.

Both the couple said that there were several people with the surname Xu at the Imperial University, ranging from their forties to their eighties, but they had no recollection of the professor, Mr. Xu, who was in his sixties, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and was well-versed in mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

Gu Zhiyun thought regretfully that a verbal description was too vague. If he took a picture of Old Man Xu and showed it to his parents, perhaps they could recognize him.

He thought about it and realized that maybe Old Man Xu was a great high school teacher. His parents had been university professors for ten years, so it was normal that they didn't know any high school teachers.

Old Xu ate a few pieces of pastry, wiped the crumbs off his hands, and pulled a stack of test papers from his pocket, saying:

"These are practice questions I prepared. You two should take some time to do them, and I'll give you an estimate of your scores."

In this era, everyone estimates their scores when applying to universities. Old Xu has already organized several mock exams for the educated youth and will also guide them in estimating their scores and applying to universities.

He was familiar with almost all the top universities in the country, which made it hard for Gu Zhiyun to believe that Old Man Xu was just a high school teacher.

Shen Jingyan took the test paper and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Grandpa. I'll make you meat pies for lunch today!"

When Old Man Xu heard that there was something delicious to eat, his eyes lit up.

"By the way, there are less than two months left until the college entrance exam. Have you two decided which universities to apply to?"

In her previous life, Shen Jingyan studied law. In this life, when she goes back to university, she wants to study something different.

"Grandpa, I want to study finance and management so I can become an entrepreneur in the future!"

Old Xu chuckled and agreed: "Being an entrepreneur is great! If my granddaughter is going to be one, she should be the richest entrepreneur in the country!"

Gu Zhiyun smiled indulgently at Shen Jingyan and gently flicked her forehead.

"What a little money-grubber."

Shen Jingyan is very familiar with history. In the near future, the country will open up its economic policies. Once the market opens up, the national economy will prosper. She wants to seize the opportunity, catch up with the economic tide, and make a fortune!

Since you're planning to start a business, studying finance is the best choice.

"Brother Yun, what major are you planning to apply for?"

Gu Zhiyun said, "My parents both participated in the research of the space shuttle. I want to follow in their footsteps and apply for aerospace engineering major."

A glint of light flashed in Old Xu's eyes.

"Xiao Gu, did you know that only Beijing University offers an aerospace engineering major in the entire country?"

"I know, I only want to get into Beijing University."

"This major only admits 20 to 30 students each year, and the admission score is higher than any other major, so there is a risk in applying."

After saying this, Old Xu carefully observed the changes in Gu Zhiyun's expression.

Gu Zhiyun is usually quite humble. Even though everyone knows how outstanding he is, he almost never shows off, except in front of Shen Jingyan, of course.

What's that saying again? A male peacock will only display its plumage when facing its mate.

Faced with Old Man Xu's doubts, Gu Zhiyun said confidently, "I believe in myself."

Shen Jingyan didn't forget to cheer up Grandpa Xu: "Grandpa, with such a good teacher like you, plus Yun-ge's hard work, I have confidence too!"

Old Xu patted Gu Zhiyun on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Good, it's good that you have this determination."

After packing her things, Chen Jingyan went to the kitchen to cook.

Old Xu suddenly became gossipy: "Little Gu, tell me, how did Jingya fall for you?"

Gu Zhiyun was working on a test paper when he heard this and was stunned for a moment.

"I heard from Anzi that you were the one who pursued Jingya? You even sent her messages via walnuts and stuff. You're quite the player."

Gu Zhiyun: "..."

Aren't you being a bit too nosy?

"And I heard from Xiao Yang that you were lustful towards Jingya at first sight?"

Gu Zhiyun: "..."

How much gossip did this old man find out behind his back?

"Let me make this clear from the start: Jingya is my own granddaughter. If you let her suffer even the slightest grievance, I won't let you off the hook."

Gu Zhiyun curled his lip: "You can't even remember your own name, so how can you be so sure that Jingya is your granddaughter?"
