Shen Junru sighed, then continued, "Does she know I'm here today?"

"I know. I specifically told her to be careful with her words so as not to offend you."

Shen Junru glared at her in feigned anger, "What are you talking about? I'm not the kind of person who's hard to get along with. What do you think your sister will think of me when you say that?"

Huang Wanzhen smiled apologetically, "Hehe, it's okay. You've been to my house before, and she's seen you there. She's really adored you." Huang Wanzhen's eyes flickered. "She learned some calligraphy before, but then got lazy and didn't stick with it. Now that she's met you, a prospective college student, maybe it can rekindle her ambition."

Shen Junru was amused by her and laughed with her hands covering her mouth, "Haha, I didn't expect that taking the college entrance examination would be useful in this way."

Huang Wanzhen nodded seriously, "Don't you think about how many female college students there are in the whole of China? You are a role model for us women."

Huang Wanzhen was facing the door. When the door opened, two women came in. The one leading the way was Huang Wanshu.

"Teacher Shen, let's talk later."

After saying this, Huang Wanzhen turned around and walked towards the private room.

"Mom, my sister is here."

Mrs. Huang stood up and looked behind Huang Wanzhen, "Where is it?"

Huang Wanzhen quickly stepped forward and pushed her back into the chair. "She just came in with a maid, probably Qiu Guangrong's servant. Wait until I go out and send that maid away, then you can ask my sister. She won't dare to speak her mind if she's watching."

"Okay, then go quickly." Mrs. Huang urged, holding a handkerchief.

Huang Wanzhen didn't listen to her. She sat down on the chair and started writing the menu. "I'll order the hot pot and hot pot dishes for you first. What do you want to eat?"

Mrs. Huang had no appetite for food. "Just order two things. I'm not hungry."

Huang Wanzhen quickly wrote on the paper, "If you don't eat it, my sister will eat it. I'll keep an eye on it for you guys."

After writing the list, Huang Wanzhen got up and walked out.

Several minutes passed, and Huang Wanshu still hadn't sat down. She kept holding Shen Junru's hand and nodding.

Huang Wanzhen seized the opportunity and stepped forward to interrupt the two of them exaggeratedly.

"Hey! You're here? Why are you bringing servants with you? It's different when you're married. When you go out to play, there are always people watching you."

Her shout successfully attracted everyone's attention. Huang Wanzhen acted as if she hadn't noticed anything and pointed at the old woman and said, "I just happen to be craving roasted chestnuts. Go out and buy me some."

Without waiting for the woman to refuse, Huang Wanzhen directly paid fifty cents and said, "The rest of the money will be your errand fee."

The old woman instantly became flattering, "Thank you for the reward, Miss."

He picked up the money and left without even saying hello to Huang Wanshu.

Huang Wanshu stared at Huang Wanzhen with wide eyes, incredulous, "Why are you here?"

Huang Wanzhen dragged her towards the private room without saying a word, "Mom wants to see you, go quickly, I don't want Qiu Guangrong to know that you have contact with us."

Huang Wanshu, who was still struggling, stopped struggling immediately when she heard that she was going to see Huang Dongshi. "Qiu Guangrong is ten thousand times better than Axiang. If you can accept Axiang as your brother-in-law, why can't you accept him?"

Huang Wanzhen pushed Huang Wanshu into the private room and said, "Let me tell you."

Huang Wanzhen turned around and found a waiter, handed him the menu, and said, "The menu for the Wuxu private room is ready."

After a round, Huang Wanzhen returned to the opposite side of Shen Junru, "What are you busy with? I'm almost full, and you haven't eaten yet. Here! I made some meat for you."

Shen Junru pushed a plate of meat in front of Huang Wanzhen.

"Thank you, Teacher Shen. You are so nice." Huang Wanzhen smiled happily, picked up the small plate and put half of it into the bowl of sauce.

"That was your sister just now? Why is she dressed like that? She doesn't look like a little girl, but more like..." Shen Junru paused, afraid that Huang Wanzhen would mind, so she didn't say it out loud, "It's too gaudy, not good."

Huang Wanzhen ate the meat and nodded in agreement. After swallowing the meat, she said with an embarrassed look, "Actually, I asked you to come here today for selfish reasons. My sister is only one year older than me and is only eighteen this year. Although she is divorced, she still has many possibilities. You are my teacher and you have been admitted to university. In my sister's eyes, you are a kind of proud daughter. I think what you say will be more useful than what we say..."

Huang Wanzhen placed her chopsticks on the bowl, lowered her head, and rubbed her fingers nervously. "I'd like to ask Teacher Shen to enlighten her."

A smile appeared on Shen Junru's dignified face. "So that's how it is. I was wondering why you were so weird today."

"It's not a big deal. Isn't it just to enlighten your sister? I spent a little time talking and earned your mother a meal. It's a good deal. Don't be embarrassed."

After that, he sat closer and patted Huang Wanzhen on the shoulder, "Next time, don't beat around the bush with me about this kind of thing, just tell me directly. I'm not the kind of person who is unreasonable."

Huang Wanzhen raised her head and glanced at Shen Junru shyly, "Yeah."

Shen Junru was just sighing over their sisterly love, and seeing how well-behaved she was, she couldn't help but hug her. "I was thinking of making a new dress to wear when school starts. I'll go to your shop tomorrow to have a look."

Huang Wanzhen returned the favor and said, "I'll give you one."

Shen Junru smiled and said, "Okay, I've been a little tight on money lately. My grandmother doesn't agree with me going to college and has cut off my financial support. I'm afraid I'll have to pawn things for a living in the future."

Huang Wanzhen held her hand and encouraged her, "All material possessions can be taken away from you, but only knowledge remains in your head. If you have any difficulties, feel free to come to Jixiang Hall to find me."

Shen Junru lowered her eyelids and said dejectedly, "That's not the case. I still have a lot of jewelry and valuables, enough for me to finish college. Actually..."

"Actually, I invited you to dinner today because I wanted to talk to you about Zhu Tingzhou. He was a classmate of your husband's. I wonder if you know which school he went to study abroad."

Huang Wanzhen felt annoyed when Zhu Tingzhou was mentioned. It was obvious that Shen Junru was so deeply involved, and she couldn't show it. "I'm divorced and have no contact with the Zheng family. If you want to know, you can go to their school and ask."

Shen Junru nodded disappointedly, "Oh! I understand."

The next second, she reacted and looked at Huang Wanzhen in disbelief, "What? You're divorced? How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible?"

"But, but, you haven't committed any of the seven offenses..."

"So I wasn't divorced, I was divorced." Huang Wanzhen looked at Shen Junru seriously, "Would you rather be a woman who has never been married, or a divorced woman?"

Shen Junru didn't know why Huang Wanzhen asked this, but she answered honestly, "Of course I'm a woman who has never been married. I don't think I'll get divorced after I get married. Regardless of whether my husband's family agrees or not, my parents' family won't agree to my divorce for the sake of their reputation."
