The next morning, Shen Xingmian and Nan Zhi both got up very early. Nan Zhi went to Shen Feiang's bedroom to wake him up, but the child had already woken up and was dressed when she arrived.
Nanzhi glanced at his clothes, frowned, walked to the wardrobe, opened it, and found it crammed full of clothes.
"Fei'ang, you've been wearing that for two days. Change out of it. All the clothes here are yours. You can wear whichever one you want from now on. This is your home. You can do whatever you want, understand?"
Nanzhi could sense that the child was still a little uncomfortable, and his sensible nature was heartbreaking.
But all she wanted was for this child to grow up happily and carefree.
Shen Feiang looked down at his clothes. They weren't dirty, and he'd only worn them for two days. He used to change his clothes only once a week, and he only had two sets for a whole season, and they were all tattered.
So subconsciously, he didn't think about changing his clothes.
"Fei'ang, just change it if you think it's dirty. It's okay. After you change it, a housekeeper will wash it for you, so don't worry about causing trouble for others."
Nan Zhi softened her expression, staring at Shen Feiang. Then she reached out and took out a set of fashionable children's clothes, walked over, and held them up to Shen Feiang, saying with satisfaction:
"Go change into these clothes. Today, Fei'ang will definitely dress up nicely for school."
Shen Feiang felt a warmth in his heart, nodded to Nan Zhi, took the clothes, and went to the bathroom to change.
Nan Zhi was still somewhat melancholy. Shen Feiang was still too distant from them, not at all like a son treating his parents.
When Shen Xingmian took Shen Feiang downstairs for breakfast, he noticed the low spirits on Nan Zhi's body, but because of the child, he didn't ask anything.
The family then went to Beijing Elementary School, which was the best elementary school in the city.
Shen Feiang had attended school in an orphanage before, but the schools he attended weren't very good. Later, he was adopted by Liu Qi and his wife and transferred to an ordinary school. However, after his adoptive mother passed away, his adoptive father never let him go to school again.
So we still need to start from the third grade. The new semester has only been going on for a little over a month. If we start school now, we can catch up as long as we study hard.
The enrollment procedures have already been communicated to the school in advance.
When the three arrived at the primary school in Beijing, the principal personally came out to greet them. It was morning, so there were many students and parents coming and going at the school gate.
Seeing that the principal had come to the door in person, many people stopped to see what was going on.
Shen Xingmian was completely unaware of the principal's actions, but since he had come to the school gate to pick her up, she couldn't very well show a bad attitude.
"Mr. Shen, please come in and have a seat with your wife."
Shen Xingmian wanted to refuse, but Nan Zhi smiled and nodded, "Thank you, then I'll trouble you."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."
The principal was no stranger to the world; these were the renowned head and wife of the Shen family in Beijing. He had to treat them well and couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
"Didn't you see how many people are watching the spectacle? This is Fei Ang's first time at the school, we still need to communicate more with the principal."
Nan Zhi whispered in Shen Xingmian's ear, then took Shen Feiang's hand and walked into the campus.
Shen Feiang could guess that his parents must be very rich, after all, they lived in such a big villa.
However, judging from some points today, he is not only rich but also very powerful. The primary school in the capital is a school that he can only dream of. He has heard people say that the students here are all from wealthy and noble families, and the quality of education is the best in the city. Of course, there are also some outstanding commoners who are admitted through special admission.
Moreover, the children of these wealthy people are also excellent students.
Now that he has entered a primary school in the capital, the principal is still so respectful to his parents. He is still young and doesn't know much. He has no impression of things like the four great families.
But judging from the principal's attitude, it's clear that Shen Xingmian's influence is probably not small.
The principal led Nan Zhi and the other two to his office, then called over the head of the teaching department and assigned Shen Feiang to the best class. Nan Zhi had no objection to this, as she knew that Shen Feiang was smart and would be able to keep up.
"Fei'ang, from today onwards, you must study hard. Mom believes in you."
Nan Zhi squatted down to be level with Shen Feiang, smiled and patted his shoulder to encourage him, "We are no worse than anyone else. You need to be confident so that your parents can rest assured."
Shen Feiang nodded heavily, as if making a promise, "I will study hard."
He will never forget this kindness and gratitude. Now, all he can do is study hard, strive to make something of himself, and do his part for his parents in the future.
Afterwards, Shen Feiang was taken away by the head of the teaching department.
The principal then kept Nanzhi and the other person behind for a while, his words conveying a desire to take care of Shen Feiang. However, Nanzhi said:
"Thank you for your kindness. Fei Ang is here, and there is no need for discrimination. Everyone is equal."
Nanzhi doesn't want her children to grow up in a world where they are treated differently. Everyone is born equal and every person is unique. Even though she adopted Shen Feiang, Nanzhi doesn't spoil him unconditionally. Just like Li Jin back then, who was spoiled by his parents and always caused trouble without fear of consequences, he was very annoying.
She also believed that Shen Feiang was not that kind of person, but she had to instill a correct worldview in him from a young age. No matter what others did, her child could not use the power of the family to do evil outside.
On the way back, Shen Xingmian finally asked, "Zhizhi, you don't seem to be in a good mood today."
Nanzhi turned to look at him and sighed, "Fei'ang still harbors resentment towards us and is very distant."
"Children have their own ideas, and perhaps they are just afraid that we will abandon them."
Shen Xingmian could naturally sense that, ever since the agreement was made to adopt Shen Feiang, the child had some other emotions besides being happy, fearing that he would be abandoned again.
Nanzhi thought about it and realized that such children often lack a sense of security. "But how can we make him feel better and trust us?"
Looking at such a sensible child, Nan Zhi felt very sorry for him. But now, even if she sincerely supported Shen Feiang, the child might still have doubts.
"Don't worry, after a while, we'll clear his name in front of everyone. That might make things better."
Shen Xingmian reached out and took Nanzhi's hand, looking at her earnestly, "When the time comes, I will let everyone know that Fei Ang is our eldest son. Then, the child's worries will be less."
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhi nodded. This was indeed a good idea. It was just a banquet, and if it could make Shen Feiang feel better, she would be at ease.
