Chapter 195 Extra: Ruan Mengsheng 2
After the college entrance examination and before the volunteer results came out, the head teacher of Class 11, Lao Tan, organized a graduation party.
In a private room of the largest KTV in L City, Mr. Tan, who is over 40 years old, looks at these students as if they were his own children.
He was the first to pick up the microphone and make the announcement.
"I usually keep you in check, but now that senior year is over, I won't make any demands on you. You can have fun!"
"It's my treat tonight, you can play as long as you want!"
"But there's one more thing. When the admissions results come out, come register with me so I can report back to you, teacher. Is that okay?"
It was rare to see Mr. Tan so easy to talk to. The students in Class 11 were all excited and responded in unison, "Okay."
Old Tan did what he said and did not restrict anyone. He let those who wanted to sing sing and those who wanted to play truth or dare play truth or dare.
He also joined the karaoke and won warm applause from everyone with his powerful voice that he had never shown before.
In the dim corner, Ji Chen and Ruan Mengsheng sat quietly.
Ji Chen has a cold personality and is not interested in these activities, but he knows Ah Sheng. Ah Sheng looks quiet, but is actually a lively person.
He turned his head and, as expected, saw the unconscious envy in the girl's eyes.
"Asheng, go play."
Ruan Mengsheng hesitated, but finally shook his head.
Ji Chen knew what she was worried about. Old Master Ruan was very strict with her, which caused her to be bound by those rules and regulations.
"It's okay," his cold voice was mixed with a hint of tenderness, "I'm here."
I'm here to protect you and won't let anyone hurt the reputation you've worked so hard to maintain.
Ruan Mengsheng looked into his eyes, which were calm and peaceful, but gave her a great sense of security.
At this moment, a young man with a flat head discovered them and quickly called them over.
"Ji Chen, Ruan Mengsheng, come play together! This is Old Tan's golden promise. Let's indulge ourselves all night long! You'd be missing out if we don't play!"
The short-haired girl next to him nudged him with her elbow, "Han Yupeng, do you know how to use words?"
The crew-haired boy quickly clasped his hands together and apologized to everyone, "I was wrong, I was wrong. This isn't indulgence, this is entertainment, entertainment!"
Seeing that Ah Sheng's expression had softened, Ji Chen urged again, "Ah Sheng, go ahead."
Ruan Mengsheng received everyone's expectant gazes and felt the goodwill they expressed.
She nodded, walked slowly to the empty seat reserved for her, thanked everyone, and sat down gracefully.
The short-haired girl who spoke just now was named Yujie. She glanced at Ruan Mengsheng secretly and was immediately discovered by Ruan Mengsheng.
Ruan Mengsheng felt at a loss and didn't know how to get along with everyone.
But the muscle memory engraved in her bones made her subconsciously respond with the most appropriate smile.
Yuzhe saw the goddess' smile, blushed and looked away. In the following game, her bold behavior was restrained a lot.
Everyone continued to play Truth or Dare, and soon the pointer pointed to Ruan Mengsheng.
Han Yupeng perked up and took the lead in picking up the cards at hand. He asked, "Ruan Mengsheng, do you choose truth or dare?"
This was Ruan Mengsheng’s first time playing this game. He just saw someone choose the dare mode and ended up having a turtle drawn all over his face.
She tensed up and carefully chose "truth".
Han Yupeng randomly picked a card from the deck, and with a roar, he read out the contents on it.
"Please tell me a shameful secret!"
Ruan Mengsheng's achievements and conduct have always been set as an example by his elders.
Such a goddess-like figure, no matter what secrets she holds, can easily arouse everyone's desire to explore.
Most of the people present looked at her.
However, since they were all recent graduates, there wasn’t much scrutiny in their eyes, but more of curiosity.
Ruan Mengsheng's eyes flickered, and without thinking too much, she picked up the wine glass at hand.
"I'm sorry, I..."
Before she could finish her words, the wine glass in her hand was taken away.
I don't know when Ji Chen came to her side, his expression was calm, "A Sheng has never drunk alcohol, I will drink it for her."
The students in Class 11 have long known that the two are childhood sweethearts and are still dating.
Seeing this scene of a hero saving a damsel in distress, everyone started to cheer, especially Han Yupeng, who spoke the fastest and loudest.
"Ji Chen, you are such a hero that you can't resist the temptation of beauty! Remember to let us know when you are getting married so that we can have a drink at the wedding!"
"Before the wedding, there's an engagement party! Don't forget to invite us! We'll pay our share!"
"Ruan Mengsheng, Ji Chen has given so much, why don't you express your gratitude?"
"I'm going to do Brother Chen a favor. Give me a kiss! If you're embarrassed, we can just close our eyes! We definitely won't look!"
The closest thing Ruan Mengsheng and Ji Chen had to each other was holding hands, hugging, and kissing...
She subconsciously clenched her hands, but she didn't know that in Ji Chen's eyes, this action completely exposed her nervousness and discomfort.
Ji Chen's eyes were lonely for a moment. He concealed the emotion in his eyes and changed the subject calmly.
"When we get married, I will definitely invite you all."
Han Yupeng wanted to say a few more words when he suddenly felt someone twisting his waist hard.
Yu Jie glanced at Ruan Mengsheng's tightly pursed lips, leaned close to his ear, lowered his voice, and said viciously, "Just shut up!"
Ji Chen usually doesn't drink at all. After he finished two glasses and endured the spicy feeling in his throat, he was about to get the third glass when someone held his hand.
Ruan Mengsheng's gaze lingered on the veins on his forehead for a moment, then he forcefully snatched the third glass of wine from him and whispered, "I'll do it myself."
Ji Chen was feeling a little drunk, and he let go of her hand as he was told. However, before he could fully react, he stayed close to her and didn't move.
Everyone made another "Oh!" noise, then realized that they couldn't see anything and sighed deeply.
Even though Ruan Mengsheng was mentally prepared, she still almost choked. Her face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed.
At this moment, someone shouted, "The admission results are out," diverting everyone's attention.
Ruan Mengsheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She saw that everyone was no longer paying attention to the game. Those who had cell phones took out theirs, and those who didn't gathered around those who had them.
Ruan Mengsheng didn't want to be the one who didn't fit in, so she opened her phone as well, and unexpectedly saw a text message on the lock screen.
The text message comes from "Business Administration Major of Beijing A University".
Her pupils shrank, and she clicked on the full text message to confirm that it was her own name and not sent to the wrong person.
My heart keeps falling, as if it is entering an ice cellar.
Since she entered high school, her grandfather has told her many times, both explicitly and implicitly, that she is not allowed to apply to the management department.
She was the adopted daughter of the Ruan family and was not allowed to inherit shares in the Ruan family's company. For her sake, her grandfather asked her to enroll in a major she liked.
In this way, when others asked her why she did not inherit the company as her grandfather's favorite granddaughter, she could give the excuse of "I don't know how to manage the company."
But now... Grandpa probably doesn't trust her anymore...
Ji Chen also received the text message, but he had just drunk some wine, so his vision was a little blurry.
After he saw the words clearly, he couldn't help but say to Ah Sheng, "Ah Sheng, I'm going to University A. Have you got your results yet?"
Ruan Mengsheng turned off the phone, her voice a little hoarse, "Not yet..."
Some people have received their admission results, while others are still anxiously waiting. No matter which case, no one has the heart to play anymore.
Old Tan didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that the results would come out today.
He shouted loudly, "Who among you has the results? Come and register with me so I don't have to come to you one by one later!"
The graduation party ended early.
Everyone came out of the KTV, went back to their homes and looked for their mothers, and left the place quickly.
Ji Chen and Ruan Mengsheng walked at the end, walking side by side, and no one spoke.
Ji Chen was the first to break the silence, "A Sheng, where did you apply?"
Ruan Mengsheng paused and closed her eyes. "...University A."
Ji Chen saw that she was in a bad mood and thought that it was her first time drinking alcohol and she was not feeling well.
He gently embraced her and touched her long hair.
"Didn't you want to stay in L City? Why did you change to A University?" He joked, intending to make her happy, "Or are you reluctant to leave me?"
Ruan Mengsheng leaned weakly on his shoulder, smelling the fragrance on his body, and felt at ease.
She nodded slightly and followed his words, "Well, I can't bear to leave you."
Ji Chen knew her temper. Although she seemed weak, she was actually very strong and rarely said such soft words.
Considering that she might be worried about the admission result, he softened his expression and comforted her.
"Don't worry, with your grades, you can definitely get into University A."
The most famous department of University A is the Management Department, which also has the highest score, among which Business Administration ranks first.
Her score is enough for her to study business administration, not to mention fashion design.
Ruan Mengsheng was in a complicated mood. She just said "hmm" and said nothing more.
——
Ruan Mengsheng stood outside the Ruan family villa, looking at the bright lights inside, as if he had returned to eleven years ago.
That year, her parents had just died, and she was scolded as a wild child without parents. It was her grandfather who appeared in front of her and scolded those people.
Grandpa said that from now on, he would be her guardian and no one could bully her anymore.
She didn't want to let her grandfather down, so she listened to him and worked hard to learn various etiquettes to make herself the pride of the Ruan family.
But, I don’t know when grandpa changed.
The look in her grandfather's eyes when he looked at her was no longer as loving as before, but full of scrutiny.
She knew that she was not the biological daughter of the Ruan family, and she had some guesses in her mind.
Perhaps it was when she offered suggestions for the development of the Nguyen family, or when rumors spread among the upper class that she was the heir to the Nguyen family...
In short, Grandpa didn't believe that she wouldn't fight for the inheritance of the company, so he was on guard against her in various ways, including this choice of profession.
The chill of the night fell on her body, bringing Ruan Mengsheng back to her senses. She put away her messy thoughts and mustered up the courage to walk into the villa.
