Chapter 30 Fang Qibai was won over by Rong Xihua!
Faced with everyone's friendliness, Zhu Wan subconsciously looked at her older sister.
Zhu Fan leaned against the door and smiled at Zhu Yu.
The girl in the center of attention wore a pure black, tight-fitting short-sleeved top paired with high-waisted dark blue jeans. The breathable fabric clung to her body, outlining her slender back and smooth figure. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, and with each turn of her head, the strands swayed gently. Fine beads of sweat glistened on her forehead, and a silver necklace shimmered in the sunlight at her collarbone. She exuded youthful and vibrant energy.
Like a sunflower blooming in the morning sun.
Zhu Wan greeted and introduced herself to everyone in a very generous and open manner.
Meng Yin smiled with satisfaction. A-Yuan was neither intimidated nor shy, letting everyone look at her with curiosity, her lips always bearing a faint smile.
Meng Yin: "Next Saturday, Auntie would like to invite everyone to our house for a party to celebrate our Ah Yuan officially starting her senior year of high school."
It was also a party to welcome their daughter home.
Zhu Ci gripped the blanket tightly.
Zhu Wan's arrival immediately drew everyone's attention.
Mom is even going to throw her a party next Saturday.
This behavior undoubtedly tells everyone that the Zhu family's true daughter has returned.
As for Zhu Ci, she will be reduced to a complete clown and a laughing stock.
She's the one who's sick and needs care.
She disagrees! She disagrees!
"I've peeled the tangerines for you."
The only boy in the ward who didn't speak to Zhu Wan carefully peeled off the white veins of the tangerine and shyly handed it to Zhu Ci.
"You guys are so noisy, I'm not eating!" Zhu Ci abruptly slapped away the peeled tangerine the boy offered her.
The girl's outburst was sudden, leaving the boy momentarily at a loss. As all eyes in the ward focused on the two of them, the boy awkwardly lowered his head, his ears turning red.
Meng Yin frowned, her voice tinged with reproach, "What's wrong with you, throwing a tantrum?"
"I said I didn't want to eat, but you kept feeding me. Can't you understand human language?"
Zhu Ci vented all her frustrations on the boy, her eyes red as she covered her ears, "I'm so upset, you guys are so noisy."
Meng Yin didn't comfort Zhu Ci, but looked apologetically at the bewildered boy. She said to Zhu Ci's classmates, "I asked Sister Fan and Zhu Wan to take everyone to lunch. Thank you for coming to see Zhu Ci today."
The boys and girls left the ward politely.
"Zhu Ci, don't be sad. I hope you recover soon. See you at school."
"Xiao Ci, we're leaving now. We won't disturb your rest any longer. Get well soon!"
Goodbye, Auntie.
Zhu Ci covered herself with the blanket, let out a sob, and burst into tears.
Zhu Ci's temperamental nature and behavior at this moment seemed even more inexplicable and unreasonable in the face of the politeness of these young boys and girls.
Zhu Fan accepted the task of taking the group of teenagers to dinner and left the ward first.
Zhu Wan was the last to leave the ward. She picked up the tangerine that had rolled to her feet.
The tangerines were clean and spotless, without a speck of dust.
She blew away the tiny specks of dust that might be invisible on the tangerine, broke it open, and popped a segment into her mouth.
So sweet!
"The tangerine is dirty, don't eat it..."
The boy's words drew everyone's attention to the tangerine that Zhu Wan was holding, which had been knocked away.
"I'm not afraid of getting dirty. If it's edible, don't waste it."
After Zhu Wan spoke, the air fell silent for a brief moment, lasting about ten seconds.
They have never eaten food that has fallen on the ground.
Under everyone's strange gazes, Zhu Wan put another piece into her mouth.
One girl hesitated before reaching out her hand, saying, "I want to eat it too."
Once the first girl started, everyone else reached out their hands.
There weren't enough tangerines to go around, and Zhu Wan paused for a few seconds in surprise.
Zhu Fan chuckled and patted her head. "Everyone's hungry. Don't just stand there like an idiot. Let's go eat."
Sincerity and gentleness are the most touching qualities.
Sometimes it's just a subconscious action, and you might not even realize it, but it defuses an awkward situation for someone else.
-
Zhu Ci stayed in the hospital for four days before being discharged.
During this time, Zhu Wan adapted well to the new school and made many friends.
On Wednesday morning, after having breakfast and finishing her morning run, Zhu Fan went to her study to work overtime on writing party invitations for Zhu Wan.
Zhu Wan unfolded the Xuan paper, gently stroking the gold-stamped cornflower pattern on it with her fingertips. She sighed that a single sheet of paper cost four hundred yuan, yet felt that it was only natural for such craftsmanship to be so expensive.
What she found priceless were the words her sister had handwritten on it.
Each written invitation, once the ink dried, was rolled up by Zhu Fan and tied with a beautiful ribbon.
"Sister, you don't need to write so many copies."
Zhu Fan's pen didn't stop. "These are for you," she said, gesturing to the more formal invitations next to her. "That stack is what Grandma asked us to write."
This Saturday, the daytime will be reserved for Zhu Wan to have a party, and in the evening, Grandma Zhu will host a banquet for relatives and friends, allowing Zhu Wan to make her formal debut in the family.
Solemn and grand.
Zhu Fan smiled and asked, "Nervous?"
Zhu Wan nodded.
Zhu Fan raised her wrist. "With Mom, Dad, and Grandma here, I'm not nervous. It's getting late, hurry up and go to school. I'll write for another half hour and then I should go to school too."
Zhu Wan didn't leave; instead, she sat down on the floor, hugging her knees, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sister."
"Zhu Ci doesn't want to ride in the same car with me to school."
Right now, Zhu Ci is throwing a tantrum in the living room.
Zhu Fan: "If she doesn't want to ride in the same car as you, are you just going to wait for her?"
Zhu Wan pursed her lips, "I want to make Mom happy."
These past few days, Meng Yin has been jealous of Zhu Ci's attempts to win favor, and has tried her best to treat both mothers equally. However, Zhu Ci always feels that her mother favors Zhu Wan and her older sister more, and that she has been abandoned.
Zhu Ci's malice and dislike for Zhu Wan were deliberate and obvious.
Zhu Fan put down her pen. "Are you happy?"
Zhu Wan shook her head, resting her chin on her knees, and remained quiet.
Zhu Fan: "Then why should you wrong yourself?"
Zhu Wan stared blankly into Zhu Fan's cool and earnest eyes.
Zhu Fan: "Let's go. I'll take you today. If you want to get to school early tomorrow, you'll have to figure it out yourself."
Zhu Wan, carrying her schoolbag, got up from the ground.
The girl's light blue shirt was gilded with gold in the sunlight, the school badge on her bow tie shone brightly, and beneath her fitted dark blue Scottish pleated skirt were white knee-high socks and little leather shoes.
Elegant and pure.
Zhu Wan pulled out the Peking University student ID card from her bag, the one she had been trying to figure out how to return.
"Sister, do you know him?"
Zhu Fan followed Zhu Wan's gaze to the student card and listened to Zhu Wan explain the whole story. "I know it, but I won't help you pay it back."
Zhu Wan was puzzled.
Zhu Fan stroked his chin. "But I can help you find him at Peking University."
A blush rose to the girl's cheeks.
Zhu Fan smiled like a fox.
She made an appointment with Zhu Wan, who would come to Peking University to find her after school this afternoon.
When they went downstairs, they heard Zhu Ci pleading with Meng Yin not to fire Uncle Liu.
Meng Yin disagreed, and Zhu Ci intensified her tantrum.
Zhu Fan didn't even lift his eyelids before taking Zhu Wan out.
Yesterday, Uncle Liu was fired by Zhu Linjun for gambling on his phone during work hours, which caused him to miss an impromptu meeting.
Zhu Ci didn't want to share a car with Zhu Wan at this moment because she wanted to plead for Uncle Liu.
Having an extra driver at home doesn't make any difference.
Moreover, only three of the four drivers in the family are left now. One is responsible for Zhu Linjun, one is responsible for picking up and dropping off Zhu Wan at school, and Aunt Shu is responsible for Meng Yin's travel. She also occasionally serves as an assistant and driver for the old lady.
Zhu Fan is currently driving herself, so it's not unreasonable for her to want Uncle Liu as her personal driver.
Meng Yin stopped coaxing Zhu Ci and gave in, saying, "You can go to class today if you want, or just skip it if you don't."
She will no longer indulge Zhu Ci by asking her for leave.
Zhu Ci was supposed to be discharged in two days, but she stayed in the hospital for four days.
She also wanted her daughter to recover well, but she discovered that Zhu Ci had secretly asked a friend to bring her shrimp.
They don't take their own bodies seriously at all.
Zhu Ci's tears fell even harder as she held up the allergy rash on her hand that hadn't completely disappeared. "Mom, don't you love me anymore?"
Meng Yin was extremely disappointed.
She felt that every word Zhu Ci spoke and every action she took these days was different from the obedient and adorable daughter she used to know.
At this time, Zhu Fan had already delivered Zhu Wan to Ge Fei.
During the 100-second red light, she reached for her phone.
#Fang Qibai was won over by Rong, the most beautiful girl in the department!#
Zhu Fan scrolled past the trending post that had been dominating the Kyoto University charts for two days and clicked on the third most popular post: #The cat abuser has been found and must be severely punished!!!#
