The inquiry teacher looked at the young woman with a puzzled expression.

Among this batch of self-taught students, only one student named Shen Mingzhu scored full marks in two subjects. Therefore, when Shen Mingzhu came to collect her transcript, he took a closer look and memorized her appearance.

The young woman made up an excuse to get away with it.

The teacher didn't care too much about it. The candidates' real scores had already been entered into the files, so it didn't matter if the transcript was lost.

"This transcript is genuine. Student Shen is very good. Among the nearly 200 self-taught students, she is the only one who got full marks in two subjects."

Wow——

Outside the office, more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Shen Mingzhu, with shock, admiration, and shame.

The louder I laughed just now, the more painful my face is now.

When the young woman came out of the office, Shen Mingzhu took the transcript back from her hand and said, "Now, apologize."

The young woman looked at her with complicated eyes, "You don't have a junior high school diploma, do you?"

Damn it, is this going to end? Shen Mingzhu directly said, "My diploma is none of your business. Apologize, right now!"

The sneering man was brave enough to take responsibility for his actions. He immediately apologized to Shen Mingzhu and admitted that he had looked down on others, which caused laughter from those around him.

When it was the young woman's turn, she was in front of everyone and had no face to deny the debt, so she could only apologize with a red face.

"Classmate, classmate Shen, wait a minute——"

Not long after I walked out of the self-study examination center, someone caught up with me.

Although she succeeded in showing off, Shen Mingzhu was still furious, so she didn't treat the person who was chasing her well.

"What's up?"

The other person was a gentle and handsome young man, no more than 25 years old, about 1.78 meters tall, with a gentle temperament and well-dressed. It was obvious that he came from a good family.

The young man did not care about Shen Mingzhu's attitude, with a gentle smile on his face, "Student Shen, please forgive me for being so presumptuous, my last name is Yan..."

"stop!"

Shen Mingzhu impatiently stopped the other party and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

The young man continued to smile. "I am a self-taught student in the same batch as you. I have set up a self-taught study group here. There are currently seven members. I would like to invite you to join this study group. I wonder if classmate Shen is interested?"

Shen Mingzhu thought about it and asked about the majors of the students in the study group. When she learned that there were three students majoring in Chinese language and literature like her, she immediately agreed to join the group.

Studying is not difficult for her, but it is too boring to be alone at home. It would be nice to communicate and learn with people of the same major, and expand her social circle at the same time.

She has been in the book for so long, but the only friends she has made so far are the mothers of children in the family compound. They either talk about their children or gossip all day long. Their circle is too narrow.

Shen Mingzhu readily exchanged contact information with the other party and learned that the other party's name was Yan Yi.

When Shen Mingzhu returned home, she smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen as soon as she entered the door, and then she realized that it was almost 12 o'clock.

Putting down her bag and taking off her coat, Shen Mingzhu walked into the kitchen.

"Can I help you?"

Pei Yang turned around and saw her, a hint of joy flashed across his face, and he said, "No need, it's all ready, wash your hands and take the dishes out."

"oh."

Shen Mingzhu rolled up her sweater sleeves and was about to turn on the faucet to wash her hands when the man suddenly came close to her and sniffed at her like a dog.

Shen Mingzhu was puzzled. "What are you doing?"

“…”

"It only takes you an hour to go back and forth, but you spent the whole morning. I thought you were going to meet some random guy." Her tone was sour.

Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes, thought for a while, and explained to Pei Yang that she went to the self-study examination center to check her scores. She also briefly talked about the doubts she had been given, and complained that she did not check the almanac before going out.

Pei Yang was stunned to learn that she had scored full marks in two subjects.

The next second, he picked up Shen Mingzhu and spun her around twice, scaring Shen Mingzhu so much that she grabbed his hair and dared not let go.

"Wife, why are you so awesome?"

After turning around, Pei Yang looked up at her with his handsome face, his eyes sparkling, and her face was clearly reflected in his eyes.

At that moment, she could feel the man's passionate and pure emotions.

Shen Mingzhu pretended to be angry and patted the man on the head, "Put me down!"

Pei Yang obediently put her on the ground, but he couldn't stop smiling. He danced like a child and was even more excited than Shen Mingzhu herself.

"No, we need to add more food to lunch today. I'll go downstairs and take a look."

"We've already eaten, so let's talk about adding more dishes in the evening."

This reminded Pei Yang, "Why not just prepare a table and invite Shu Huan and my sisters to come over to celebrate for you."

Pei Yang is a domineering and strong male chauvinist by nature. He would make decisions as soon as he said they would, leaving no room for Shen Mingzhu to discuss the matter.

Shen Mingzhu let him do as he pleased, since it was time to treat Pei Wenping to a meal anyway.

Her successful registration for the self-study exam was inseparable from Pei Wenping’s support and help.

Pei Wenping and Zhou Shuhuan both had to work during the day, so the banquet was held in the evening.

In addition to Pei Wenping's family of four and Zhou Shuhuan, a few buddies who had a good relationship with Pei Yang were also invited. Together with Pei Yang's family of three, there were a total of fifteen or sixteen people, and two tables were set up.

Men sit at one table, and women and children sit at another.

Pei Yang took care of everything, including the dining tables and chairs, ingredients and drinks, and the preparation of the menu. He didn't let Shen Mingzhu worry about anything. He even didn't let Shen Mingzhu get involved in small matters such as picking and washing vegetables. Instead, he found a friend who was not working to help.

Pei Wenping got off work early, and it was still light when she came over. After letting the twins go to Pei Ziheng's room to play, the two of them sat in the living room, eating melon seeds, drinking tea and chatting.

Although Pei Wenping has a straightforward personality and is a cultured person, she is just as good as the housewives in the family compound when it comes to gossip, and Shen Mingzhu listens to her with great interest.

As it got dark, guests arrived one after another. Shen Mingzhu was busy greeting the guests and had no time to pay attention to Pei Wenping, so Pei Wenping went to her nephew's room, wanting to check on his recent situation.

Not long after entering the room and sitting there for a while, Pei Wenping felt something was wrong.

Not only were there two pillows on the bed, but there were also a lot of my brother's things on the bedside table and the table. When I opened the closet door, I saw that half of it was filled with my brother's clothes, including underwear like socks and underwear.

Pei Wenping went to the master bedroom next door without saying a word.

I searched around but couldn't find my brother's things. Although there were some of his clothes in the closet, they were all old clothes from other seasons.

To top it off, there was only one pillow on the master bedroom bed.

Next door, the twin brother and sister were playing checkers. Pei Ziheng calmly put Pei Yang's personal belongings into the drawer.

Originally, Pei Yang put all these things into the drawer in the morning, for fear that Pei Wenping would find out. However, his eldest son had no choice but to sell them all in a blink of an eye.
