Chapter 128: Each with His Own Thoughts
Back then, it was not something an ordinary woman could do to allow Li Jingming, an illegitimate son, to enter the Li family and become the legitimate eldest master of the Li family.
That Chen Sisi is not a good person. It can be said that even if Shen Yixue really won the first place in the calligraphy and painting competition, she would definitely not be the ideal daughter-in-law in Chen Sisi's mind.
Therefore, it was too early for Shen Yixue to feel relieved.
With a meaningful smile on her lips, Zhong Nianyao walked away slowly, no longer paying attention to Li Jingming and Shen Yixue who were not far behind her.
Not long after Zhong Nianyao left, Li Jingming and Shen Yixue also continued walking forward together. However, it was obvious that both of them were a little absent-minded.
Li Jingming didn't know what he was thinking. His eyes were dark and unclear, and he seemed to reveal a hint of unwillingness.
At this time, Shen Yixue was also a little uneasy, so she didn't notice that something was wrong with Li Jingming.
She didn't know why, but after meeting Zhong Nianyao today, she felt a sense of foreboding deep in her heart. She felt as if something was breaking free from its original trajectory and was no longer within her control.
These days could be considered her most glorious. However, deep down, she harbored a deep sense of unease. The painting she had won an award for was not hers.
After seeing the painting of the vast rivers and mountains, she knew that she would never win the prize. So, late one night, she found a way to sneak into the school and found a way to swap the place where her name was placed on the painting with that on the vast rivers and mountains.
Because there was no light at that time, and she was so nervous, she had no idea who the author of the painting "Wanli Jiangshan" was.
After changing the paintings, she had already thought about all the possible scenarios and how she would deal with it if the author of that painting came forward.
No matter what, she had to get first place. Because this was her only way to become a wealthy family, and it was her only chance. If she lost this time, then Li Jingming's mother could justifiably reject her, and she would no longer be eligible to compete.
She was worried every day, wondering how to cope.
However, to her surprise, after the painting won the award, no one showed up, which made her feel relieved.
After this period of psychological preparation, she now almost believes that the painting of vast rivers and mountains was painted by herself.
She didn't know why, but after meeting Zhong Nian Yao today and hearing her questions, she felt very uneasy in her heart, as if something bad was about to happen.
In appearance, the two were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and walking on campus was a beautiful sight. However, at this moment, as they walked forward hand in hand, their minds were not in the same place.
Meeting Li Jingming and Shen Yixue early in the morning was a little off-putting for Zhong Nianyao, but it didn't affect her mood at all.
After class, she went straight to Tongtian Bridge to set up a stall.
She had already called home and told them she would not be going back for dinner tonight.
Today's incident with Zhong Mengfan would definitely have a conclusion, and the atmosphere in the Zhong family would definitely not be very good. So she decided to eat outside before going back, so as to avoid the atmosphere being too depressing and affecting her appetite.
Zhong Nianyao was sitting at the old location on Tongtian Bridge.
Next to her, there was also a small stool, and the person sitting on it was Zhao Xuanlang. He kept chattering with Zhong Nianyao about what had happened in the school during this period. Of course, he also complained about how Zhong Nianyao, as the boss, had abandoned her younger brother and went traveling, which was really unethical.
Zhong Nianyao made a direct gesture, "Okay, stop!"
She glanced at Zhao Xuanlang unhappily, "You've been sitting here talking for as long as you've been here. Doesn't your mouth get tired?"
Now, she was regretting accepting Zhao Xuanlang as her little brother. He was a grown man, but when he started to talk, he was even more talkative than those aunties.
"How could that be!" Zhao Xuanlang grinned, "Boss, so many things have happened in school recently. However, the most sensational one was the official announcement of Li Jingming and Shen Yixue!"
"This Shen Yixue is quite famous in our school, and some men are interested in her. However, none of them really thought about being with Shen Yixue. Unexpectedly, this Li Jingming quietly made a big move."
When he said this, Zhao Xuanlang looked at Zhong Nian Yao, and his eyes became a little more cautious than before.
"Of course, Boss, I think they will definitely not last long. How could the Li family let a woman like Shen Yixue in?"
Indeed, no matter which wealthy family it is, they will not let their children choose a girl from the slums.
This is real life, not a fairy tale. Cinderella's story wouldn't happen in a wealthy family. Furthermore, Cinderella wasn't a poor girl; her father was a count, and she herself was a noble. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to attend the prince's ball.
In a wealthy family, unless you have the ability to completely rely on the family, you must obey the family's arrangements.
The family gave you so many resources, but not to help you realize your dream of love.
Not to mention that Li Jingming has already entered the Li family's gate and is the legitimate young master of the Li family. Even if Li Jingming is still an illegitimate child, the Li family will definitely look down on Shen Yixue.
"Why are you looking at me?" Zhong Nianyao felt a little puzzled. "What do you mean by Li Jingming and Shen Yixue's affairs? Does it have anything to do with me?"
Is there something wrong with Zhao Xuanlang's brain? Could it be that he thought she would have some attachment to Li Jingming?
Besides, the one who chased Li Jingming madly wasn't her, but the original owner. She couldn't bear the blame!
"No, no, Boss, I absolutely didn't mean that." Zhao Xuanlang denied it repeatedly, laughing and laughing. "I'm just afraid that talking about their affairs will annoy you. I absolutely don't mean anything else. If you don't want to hear it, I promise I won't say any more."
