Su Zhiruan assigned several store managers to the franchise stores and branches, so her family has been free these days.

She is taking the college entrance exam soon and needs to go to school to fill out information in the next few days.

The elementary school had an early holiday, and Qin Lianqi had come to her for extra lessons almost every day recently. Su Zhiruan had always wanted to get close to him, and their relationship could basically be described as developing rapidly.

Qin Lianqi felt that she was still young and refused to accept her hints most of the time, but the atmosphere between the two became more and more harmonious. It could even be said that, except for the fact that they had not confirmed their relationship, their way of getting along was more like that of an old couple.

Su Zhiruan felt something was strange, but couldn't put his finger on it, so he simply studied harder.

In this era, the test questions were not difficult, but after Su Zhiruan listened to the lesson Qin Lianqi gave her, she felt that what he said was more in-depth, and she listened very carefully.

Traveling between these small worlds, learning knowledge, improving abilities, and gaining insights day by day is also a kind of golden finger.

Early in the morning, Su Zhiruan dressed neatly and prepared to go to the local high school, No. 1 Middle School, to fill out the registration information for enrolled students.

The old man standing guard at the door thought she was also a student and let her in.

So, Su Zhiruan walked straight into No. 1 Middle School.

This was her second time coming to this school. Although she had been here before, the changes were not so great then.

The current No. 1 Middle School has a new teaching building, which is very beautifully built. In the clean and tidy classrooms, many students are studying. The sound of reading can be heard everywhere, and everyone is working very hard.

Su Zhiruan only paid to enroll in No. 1 Middle School, but he did not study with the class.

She found the teacher in charge of student affairs and quickly filled out the information.

When she went downstairs, the high school students' first class had just ended, and Su Zhiruan walked downstairs.

However, at this moment, a voice neither too loud nor too soft came from behind, "Su Zhaodi!"

This person was Su Caihua. When she called this name, it was full of malice. Many girls cast their eyes over, but Su Zhiruan didn't even turn around and continued to walk down the stairs. Su Caihua got anxious, "Su Zhiruan! You clearly heard it!"

Only then did Su Zhiruan realize that he was calling her.

She turned around leisurely and her eyes fell on Su Caihua, who was standing in the middle of the crowd. She had an arm around a girl each, and there were two boys beside her.

When Su Zhiruan turned around, the crowd remained silent for more than ten seconds.

She is so beautiful! The girl looks very young, with big, bright eyes and a round face, which makes people happy at first sight. The corners of her mouth seem to be always raised. It makes people feel that she is a very good person, with delicate features, fair skin, and beautiful clothes.

When Su Caihua saw that many of her classmates were looking at Su Zhiruan with astonished eyes, she almost fainted from anger!

"What are you doing at school, sister? You never went to school since you were a child. Do you want to start directly from high school?" Su Caihua asked in a delicate voice, pretending to be considerate of Su Zhiruan. In fact, she was hinting that Su Zhiruan was illiterate and had never been to school since she was a child. She held her forehead and said, "If you want to start studying again, it may be too late now... Why don't you go ask the township primary school?"

"Sister, please worry about yourself," Su Zhiruan was in a good mood today and didn't want to talk nonsense with her. She just leaned against the railing and smiled slightly, "Being too cunning doesn't seem to be conducive to academic progress!"

"What are you talking about?" Su Caihua almost lost face. She quickly glanced at the girl and the other two boys beside her. These were all friends with well-off families that she had tried every means to get to know. She forced herself to look worried about Su Zhiruan, "You are not like us who have risen step by step. I am just worried that you will suffer a setback if you stop studying halfway. That's why I suggested that you start from elementary school. It's too disheartening for my sister to make such malicious assumptions about others..."

Halfway through her words, Su Caihua began to sob, and the two girls around her hurried to comfort her.

"Caihua, don't cry, you're just worried about your sister."

"We believe you."

Su Zhiruan looked at the two girls who were comforting Su Caihua, and she just leaned on the railing with a smile, watching them frantically wiping Su Caihua's tears.

Being looked at by Su Zhiruan with a frank gaze, the two girls also secretly glanced at Su Zhiruan several times. Although they were both comforting Su Caihua, they also had a good first impression of Su Zhiruan.

The two of them, or most of the students present, had a good impression of this beautiful girl who suddenly appeared. She made people feel very comfortable and they really wanted to make friends with her. Although they were comforting Su Caihua on the surface, everyone was more curious about whether this girl, who was said to be Su Caihua's sister, would also come to study at the school.

Su Zhiruan didn't tease her for long. She just waved her hand and smiled brightly, "Goodbye, sister."

Su Caihua secretly mocked her for being illiterate, but Su Zhiruan didn't care at all. She was of course aware of her true strength. The more Su Caihua belittled her, the more she would be slapped in the face. And she would just give Su Caihua a heavy blow after she fell into disgrace, so that she would never get up again in her life.

It can be considered as revenge for the original owner. If she was allowed to run wild in society, who knows how many people she would have harmed.

Su Zhiruan walked out of the school leisurely, and behind her, many people were looking at her.

Look at her, stepping out of the shadows and into the sunlight.

The light shines on her and the road ahead is bright.

* On Su Zhiruan's eighteenth birthday, Li Meihua prepared a nice meal for her and invited Qin Lianqi to come along so that the whole family could celebrate together.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zhishu and Zhiying raised their hands in agreement with this suggestion. Since their family conditions have improved, the two children have become visibly more lively and cheerful.

"Please ask Teacher Qin to come too! Let's have a good meal!"

"Mom, let me help. It's my eldest sister's eighteenth birthday, we have to have a big party!"

"We have prepared a gift for Big Sister - shhh, don't tell Big Sister!"

…

Li Meihua watched the two children jumping up and down with joy, and her heart felt warm as well. "Okay, okay, don't run away. Go downstairs and take the bottles to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy soy sauce."

The two children ran out cheering.

Qin Lianqi and Su Zhiruan were walking side by side. Both of them had outstanding looks, and people frequently turned back to look at them on the road.

"Today is your eighteenth birthday. I prepared a gift for you," Qin Lianqi picked up the box and asked her with a smile, "Do you want to know what it is?"

"It was given by Teacher Qin, so naturally all students like it." Su Zhiruan tilted her head, deliberately not following his wishes, and just smiled without saying anything.

Qin Lianqi helplessly helped her straighten her scarf. "Well, Xiao Su doesn't seem to be very curious, so we'll leave the answer for later."

"Mom is calling us - let's go up first!" Su Zhiruan saw Li Meihua waving at her from the window. She pulled Qin Lianqi and quickened her pace.

Qin Lianqi watched her hold his hand unintentionally, and was stunned for a moment before being taken up.

Today, she turned eighteen! (End of this chapter)
