After some efforts, Ji Yu and Shen Chengzhi finally successfully completed the admission procedures.
This school is very unique. It was founded by an educator with advanced concepts and open-minded ideas, and he implemented a simple selection process for each incoming class.
In this new environment full of vitality and hope, Ji Yu and Shen Chengzhi, as one of many freshmen, stepped into the campus with full enthusiasm.
They are looking forward to their upcoming learning career and are eager to absorb the nutrients of knowledge and grow healthily here.
However, Shen Jinjin's enrollment was not completed, and there was no girls' school in Ganzhou City for the time being. So Shen Chengzhi and Ji Yu decided to wait until school started, and they would take turns teaching Shen Jinjin.
Time flies, and the September school season is approaching, and it is less than a week away from the official start of school!
Shen Chengzhi pondered secretly, and felt that it was time to take his sister Shen Jinjin to meet her future parents-in-law - Xu's parents.
After all, the marriage between the two families is a foregone conclusion. Let Shen Jinjin meet the future father-in-law and mother-in-law as soon as possible, so as to avoid others saying that the two are impolite. They came to Ganzhou without visiting each other.
At the end of August, the afterglow of summer has not yet dissipated, but the early morning sun has already shone on the earth.
That day, Shen Chengzhi got up early on purpose, holding Shen Jinjin's hand and going out. He walked steadily and looked calm, as if he had a plan for today's trip.
However, in sharp contrast to Shen Chengzhi, Shen Jinjin beside him seemed particularly nervous and uneasy.
Of course, this visit cannot be empty-handed. For this reason, Shen Chengzhi has already carefully selected a generous gift and is waiting to deliver it to the Xu family mansion today.
Although this gift is not expensive, it represents the Shen family's sincerity and contains respect for the Xu family.
After arriving at Xu's house, Shen Chengzhi tidied his clothes, then walked to the door and handed the visiting card he had carefully prepared to the doorman.
The servant took the visiting card, took a look at it, and went in to report.
After a while, he came out and told them that Xu's father was not at home today, but Xu's mother was at home, and she happily invited them both to come in as guests.
After entering the lobby of Xu’s house, when Xu’s mother saw Shen Jinjin, an ecstatic expression immediately appeared on her face.
Because Shen Jinjin looks so much like her deceased mother, as if they were carved from the same mold.
Xu's mother and Shen's mother used to be close friends who could talk about anything.
Therefore, when she saw the girl in front of her who looked so similar to her old friend, a feeling of intimacy naturally welled up in Xu's mother's heart, and her love for Shen Jinjin was beyond words. This love came from the most sincere emotion from the bottom of her heart.
"Jinjin, how about you stay at your aunt's house for lunch today?" Mother Xu took Shen Jinjin's little hand with a smile on her face, her eyes full of love for this well-behaved and lovely little girl.
Shen Jinjin lowered her head shyly, but her eyes involuntarily drifted to her brother Shen Chengzhi beside her, as if asking him for help.
When she saw her brother nod slightly to show his agreement, the stone in her heart finally fell, so she gently replied: "Okay, thank you, Auntie."
After receiving the answer, Xu's mother was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She continued, "Oh, you are such a lovely little girl! You look exactly like your mother. If my brat saw you, he would definitely like you very much!"
As she spoke, Xu's mother's eyes revealed undisguised admiration and love, which made Shen Jinjin feel warm and a little embarrassed.
The brat that Xu's mother was referring to was Xu Nanchen.
Xu's mother actually had ulterior motives in inviting Chen Jinjin to dinner. She wanted to take this opportunity to let her son and Jinjin get to know each other, and it would be even better if they could further develop feelings for each other.
However, the innocent Shen Jinjin had no idea about this and just thought it was an ordinary home-cooked meal.
It was almost time for dinner and a table full of sumptuous dishes had already been prepared. The three of them sat around the table waiting for Xu Nanchen to return.
Xu's mother smiled brightly on the surface, but she was full of anxiety and anger in her heart.
She couldn't help but quietly call the servant over and asked in a low voice, "Why hasn't Nanchen come home yet?"
The servant replied fearfully, "Madam, we have sent someone to look for her, and I believe we will have news soon." He knew that his wife was very angry at the moment, so he spoke with extreme caution, for fear of angering her.
Just when the atmosphere at the table was tense, Xu Nanchen's personal servant came running over like a gust of wind, shouting something.
"Madam! Madam! The young master... the young master refuses to accept this arranged marriage no matter what! He also asks you to stop wasting your time! He doesn't like the girl from the Shen family at all!" The servant ran out of breath and finally finished his words.
When Xu's mother heard this, she felt dizzy and saw stars in front of her eyes. She stretched out her trembling hands to cover her chest, trying to calm her rapid breathing, but it was no use. Anger and disappointment intertwined, making her face look extremely ugly.
The servant saw that Xu's mother was angry, and although he was a little worried, he had finally completed his mission successfully, so he turned around and ran out of the yard without hesitation.
At this moment, there was a person standing outside the yard, and that person was Xu Nanchen.
He paced back and forth anxiously. When he saw the servant coming out, he hurried over to ask, "How was the mission completed?"
The servant nodded slightly, indicating that everything went well, but added with a worried look on his face: "The mission was accomplished, but the lady seems to be very angry."
However, Xu Nanchen didn't care at all and responded with disdain: "I don't care about these things! Anyway, I will never accept the marriage she arranged for me. Let that Miss Shen family embarrass herself in public today. I don't believe she still has the guts to shamelessly marry me!"
After saying this, Xu Nanchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of pride.
Xu Nanchen stood quietly outside the yard, his eyes fixed on the movements in the yard. He looked from afar and saw a woman in navy blue standing with her back to him.
Judging from the back, this young lady of the Shen family is not much different from other ordinary girls from aristocratic families. She seems a little dull and uninteresting.
However, what Xu Nanchen longed for in his heart was the woman he had met by chance on the street.
She was brave and fearless, dared to confront him, and didn't even care about the money in her hands. Such a unique character deeply attracted him and made him unforgettable.
At this moment, Xu Nanchen did not realize that the young lady of the Xu family, whose back he could only see, was actually the person he had been looking for.
The coincidence of fate seemed to be intertwined at this moment, but he had not yet discovered the mystery. Perhaps, only when they really met face to face, everything would be revealed...
