“Jingya, Zhiyun meeting you is the greatest blessing our family has ever had. You have sacrificed so much for our family, we don’t know how to repay you…”

"Auntie, I'm just going to college a year later, it's nothing to make a sacrifice."

Shen Jingyan gently patted Fang Ru's back and said, "You treat me like family, and I treat you like family too."

Gu Huaiqian nudged Gu Zhiyun's arm with his elbow, giving him a meaningful look:

"Are you stupid? Why aren't you going to tell Jingya your stance?"

This was the first time Gu Zhiyun had reacted so slowly, because he was still in shock at the major decision Shen Jingyan had made.

Looking at Chen Jingyan's bright and beautiful smiling face, he could no longer suppress the love in his heart.

"Jingya, if I ever dare to wrong you in this life, I'll build a satellite and release myself without Professor Xu even lifting a finger!"

Gu Huaiqian: "..."

Fang Ru: "..."

Chen Jingyan: "..."

What a refreshing and insidious oath!

On New Year's Eve, Shen Jingyan's optimism and cheerfulness helped the Gu family emerge from their heavy and angry emotions.

Everyone stopped mentioning Gu Zhiyun's disqualification from school and happily made dumplings to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhao Yanyan, who lived next door, couldn't help but peek towards the gate of the courtyard several times.

In Zhao Yanyan's imagination, the Gu family should be shrouded in gloom and misery.

Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian should blame Shen Jingyan for Gu Zhiyun's dropping out of school and kick her out.

All day long, Zhao Yanyan eagerly awaited to see Shen Jingyan make a fool of herself.

Then, the Gu family should bring generous gifts to their door to apologize.

Gu Zhiyun, in particular, values ​​going to university more than anything else, and should be even more proactive in expressing his support!

Zhao Yanyan was happily planning that as long as Gu Zhiyun agreed to marry her, she would immediately make Zhao Guangsheng reinstate Gu Zhiyun's admission to school in front of everyone.

She wanted everyone to know that Shen Jingyan was nothing but a burden to Gu Zhiyun, preventing him from attending school, and that only she was the savior!

A savior who can command the wind and rain and fulfill all of Gu Zhiyun's wishes!

However, things did not go as Zhao Yanyan had hoped.

"Dad, Mom, something's wrong. I can still hear laughter from next door. How can they laugh like that?"

Isn't Gu Zhiyun's disqualification from enrollment a more serious matter than the collapse of the sky for the Gu family?

Smelling the aroma of food and wine wafting from next door, Zhao Yanyan finally couldn't sit still any longer. Ignoring Zhu Xiaoqin's advice, she went to their house to find out for herself.

As she reached the door, she heard laughter and cheerful voices coming from inside the house.

This struck her as incredible.

She didn't even bother with basic etiquette like knocking; she just pushed the door open and went inside.

Four pairs of eyes simultaneously fell upon her.

Those four pairs of eyes were like four sharp swords, piercing straight through her flesh and bones.

"Brother Gu, I..."

Before Zhao Yanyan could finish speaking, Fang Ru threw down the dough in her hand, her face cold and angry as she said:

"Oh, isn't this Miss Zhao? How dare someone of your noble status come to our house? My family's social standing is too high; be careful that feudal remnants don't taint your purity!"

Shen Jingyan only learned how sharp Fang Ru's words were today.

She usually appears as an elegant and intellectual woman, gentle and quiet like a lady from a respectable family. I never expected that she could be so sharp-tongued when she satirizes someone!

Zhao Yanyan's face turned red and then pale from the rebuke, and she stood at the door, at a loss for what to do.

I don't know how to say what I want to say.

She stared blankly at Gu Zhiyun, but Gu Zhiyun's mind and eyes were completely focused on Shen Jingyan.

A little flour got on Shen Jingyan's face, so Gu Zhiyun took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it off for her.

The sweet scene between the two deeply pierced Zhao Yanyan's heart. She stepped into the living room and yelled at Gu Zhiyun in a shrill voice:

“Brother Gu, how could you be so foolish! If you hadn’t insisted on being with her, you wouldn’t have been disqualified from admission! Open your eyes and look! The only one who can truly help you is me! My dad warned you last time that a country girl like Shen Jingyan, with no status, no background, and no family, would only be a burden to you! An obstacle on your road to success! What’s wrong with you being with me! As long as you’re with me, I’ll immediately convince my dad to reinstate your admission!”

Shen Jingyan was truly impressed by Zhao Yanyan. How could she so confidently and shamelessly utter such absurd logic in front of the Gu family!

Her words completely enraged Fang Ru. Fang Ru resisted the urge to slap her, and instead stretched out a trembling arm, pointing to the door and saying:

"I've never seen such a shameless person! Who caused Zhiyun to be unable to go to school? Zhao Yanyan, if it weren't for your relentless pursuit and all sorts of underhanded tactics, would Zhiyun have been disqualified from enrollment? It's clearly your selfishness that has delayed Zhiyun! Although our Gu family may have a bad class background, we have backbone! We would never stoop to someone like Zhao Guangsheng! If you want Zhiyun to be with you, keep dreaming!"

Zhao Yanyan stepped forward with a ferocious expression, looking as if she wanted to fight Fang Ru.
