Chapter 348 Busy and Happy
Shen Xuewei hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Yes or no, it is or it isn't. So, is this considered yes or no?
Chen Fanglan could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her conflicted little eyes.
"Don't overthink it with your little head. He's in a similar situation to your second uncle."
“I give him a fixed allowance every month, and he’s responsible for making me happy and keeping me company. However, he’s different from your second uncle; I won’t get a marriage certificate with him.”
Chen Fanglan suffered greatly in her previous marriage, so how could she possibly get married again?
She has been single for several years, and when she is alone outside of work, she inevitably feels a bit lonely.
She was only interested in Ruiming because he was young and good-looking.
He provides her with emotional support and helps her overcome her loneliness, while she, in turn, provides him with the money he needs.
In Chen Fanglan's view, this was simply a matter of each party getting what they wanted.
As Platinum Joy Skin Research Institute continues to grow, she will earn more and more money. Spending some money to please herself will also give her a better state of mind to earn more money, which she thinks is great.
After listening, Shen Xuewei said she understood.
Isn't this just keeping a gigolo? Just like how your second aunt keeps your second uncle.
The only difference is that the second uncle has a formal title, while Ruiming does not.
Now, Chen Fanglan has been in the business world for several years and is no longer the young girl who was easily blinded by love.
She is intelligent, resourceful, shrewd, and capable; she has long since developed countless cunning schemes.
Even in front of close friends and family, she remains the same as before.
But in front of outsiders, he is President Chen, who has a keen eye and acts decisively.
Even if she has a boyfriend, Shen Xuewei is not worried that she will do something foolish because of love.
Having satisfied her curiosity, Shen Xuewei returned to school after seeing them off at the airport.
After Friday, the weekend arrived.
Shen Xuewei and Lü Zhuyin had a crazy two-day weekend in Shanghai. When they returned to their dorm, they saw Huang Xin lying on the table, grinning foolishly.
Beside her was a large, unmissable cluster of yellow roses.
Shen Xuewei, noticing her obviously unusual expression, teased:
"Xiao Xin, why are you smiling so happily? These flowers are so beautiful, who sent them to you?"
Huang Xin tried hard to suppress the curve of her lips, but she still couldn't help but smile upwards.
She smiled brightly, yet with a hint of shyness, and coughed lightly, saying, "Well... this was a gift from my boyfriend."
Shen Xuewei swiftly pulled over the chair next to her and sat down instantly.
"When did you get a boyfriend? Tell me quickly."
There are four people in the dormitory. Su Shu has her own social circle, but her relationship status is unknown.
Huang Xin and Shen Xuewei had a fairly good relationship. As soon as Shen Xuewei heard that Huang Xin had a boyfriend, her gossip instincts kicked in.
Huang Xin had just gotten a boyfriend and hadn't intended to hide it.
When Shen Xuewei asked her, she told her everything.
"I just handed it in yesterday. But Chenglang and I have known each other since we were little, we grew up together."
"When he was in high school, his whole family moved to Chengdu for some reason, and he went to Chengdu University. I saw him a few times in between... He graduated this year and came to Shanghai, so we started contacting each other again, and that's why..."
Shen Xuewei understood: childhood sweethearts grow up together, and then naturally they end up together as adults.
"Congratulations! Seeing how happy you are, he must be a very nice person and treat you very well."
Huang Xin proudly raised her chin, "Of course. Cheng Lang and I have been best friends since we were little. When we were playing house, he said he would marry me when we grew up."
She was immersed in the joy of love, yet she didn't forget to say:
"By the way, Chenglang said he'd treat everyone to dinner next weekend so we can all get to know each other. Do you have time?"
Shen Xuewei had no plans for the next weekend, so she readily agreed.
"Sure, I'll mooch a meal off you and your boyfriend."
The two chatted happily until Su Shu returned. It was almost 11 p.m., but Lu Jiayi still hadn't returned.
Huang Xin was a little worried, so she called Lu Jiayi.
"Jiayi, it's already 11 p.m., why aren't you back yet? If you don't come back soon, the dorm supervisor will lock the doors, and you'll have to sleep outside the school."
A tired voice came from the other end of the line.
"Xiao Xin, I have something to do here, so I won't be going back tonight."
"Oh, what's wrong over there...?"
Before Huang Xin could finish speaking, Lu Jiayi had already hung up the phone.
Huang Xin was a little unhappy when the call was hung up on her.
"What's going on? You ask what's wrong but won't say, and you're not coming back. What does that mean?"
When she made the call, Shen Xuewei was already in front of the closet, taking out her pajamas and preparing to take a hot shower.
She didn't say anything when she heard Huang Xin's complaints.
It doesn't matter whether people go back to their dorms or not, as long as nothing bad happens.
After taking a shower, she washed her clothes as well, then went to bed peacefully and slept until a little after seven the next day.
After a quick brushing of her teeth and washing of her face, Shen Xuewei prepared to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.
Before leaving the dormitory, she made sure to wake Huang Xin, who was still lazing in bed.
Huang Xin felt her icy hand touch her face, which barely chased away her sleepiness. She mumbled as she got up.
Seeing that she had gotten up, Shen Xuewei left the dormitory with peace of mind.
Su Shu came out of the restroom and was about to ask Shen Xuewei to wait for her, but before she could even finish speaking, Shen Xuewei had already walked far away, showing no intention of waiting for her.
After having breakfast, Shen Xuewei brought another portion for Huang Xin and then appeared in the classroom.
Lu Jiayi, who didn't go back to the dormitory last night, was already in the classroom, with very obvious dark circles under her eyes.
Shen Xuewei sat down in the empty seat next to her and asked:
"Have you had breakfast yet? This is for Xiaoxin, but I ordered an extra fried dough stick and brought it with me. Do you want some?"
Lu Jiayi always takes whatever she can get, and besides, she really hadn't eaten breakfast.
"Yes, thank you. I'll bring you breakfast when I have time."
She was munching on a fried dough stick, but her eyes were unfocused as she stared ahead, looking preoccupied with her own thoughts.
Shen Xuewei replied to a few messages with her head down, then looked up and saw Lu Jiayi's appearance, so she asked a question.
"What's wrong? You look like you have something on your mind."
Lu Jiayi was taken aback, and her smile became somewhat forced.
"It's nothing. It's just that when I went home this time, I found out that my grandma was sick. I brought her and grandpa to Shanghai so that it would be convenient for them to see a doctor. I have to go to the hospital to take care of her later, so I'm a little worried about her."
Shen Xuewei nodded. No wonder she didn't come back all night and now she looked dazed.
As they were talking, many students had already entered the classroom, and Su Shu sat down in the empty seat next to Shen Xuewei.
There was an empty seat to Lu Jiayi's right, which she had reserved for Huang Xin.
Huang Xin arrived at the classroom just in time, and Teacher Mo, who was in charge of teaching classical studies, followed closely behind.
After taking attendance, today's lessons began.
While looking at Teacher Mo on the podium, Huang Xin took the opportunity to nibble on a steamed bun and also tried to talk to Lu Jiayi. She was so busy and happy.
