Ke Meiyu couldn't help but smile and nod, "That's right, we spend at least two years on campus for graduate studies."
“My mother also needs to gain some prestige at Kyoto University, then gradually make a name for herself, and after a few more opportunities to appear in public, she can easily get a relaxed job with good benefits.”
Can a school cafeteria chef be compared to a chef in an organization's foreign affairs department?
One is an educational institution, and the other is a department directly under an organization; they are at least two or three levels apart!
The two weren't particularly interested in the banquet; they simply huddled together and whispered among themselves.
From meeting, getting married, and falling in love to truly being together, the two have experienced so much in the past three years. The deeper their feelings for each other, the more they cherish each other. Even just being together quietly without doing anything makes them feel incredibly happy and joyful.
Sometimes, Ke Meiyu felt that this was more like a beautiful but unreal dream.
After all, people living in the real world are carefree every day, spending most of their free time with electronic devices. She has read many novels, but she never thought that the apocalypse would really come. People develop superpowers due to external energy, but she never thought that she would be transported here, obtain a powerful space, and encounter demons and monsters.
If she hadn't experienced the apocalypse, hadn't had those dreams, and hadn't been forced into love by the powerful figure, she probably wouldn't have known how to cherish this world.
Ying Yan glanced over and saw a cold aura suddenly emanating from a certain figure.
Ke Meiyu followed his gaze and saw many figures. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?"
He didn't hide anything, saying casually, "I saw my maternal grandfather's former adopted daughter and her family."
"The one wearing a fuchsia dress and green shoes."
Such a striking color certainly makes her stand out at a glance. She couldn't help but twitch her lips: "How did your grandfather end up adopting her?"
Ying Yan sneered: "Back then, the Qin family had a steward who grew up with my maternal grandfather. After the establishment of Xinxiahua, the family dismissed all the servants and gave them a lot of severance pay, enough for them to buy a small courtyard to accommodate their whole family."
“Some people are greedy and think that after the establishment of Xinxiahua, the Qin family’s huge wealth will not be able to be protected, so it is better to give more to them.”
"So it caused a huge uproar, but even if the Qin family can't be as glorious as before, they will never be forced or afraid of them. They are all acting out of selfish motives, yet they have the nerve to use the name of an organization."
“My grandfather asked people from the organization to suppress the matter, but the housekeeper was pushed onto a rock during the argument and died on the spot when he got home. He only had a daughter and an old lady in his family. The daughter grew up with my mother. My grandfather felt sorry for them and had nowhere to go, so he kept them at home.”
"To be honest, that woman wasn't my grandfather's adopted daughter. There was no wedding banquet, and he never officially acknowledged her. But the old lady spread the word, so everyone just accepted it."
"Actually, our family has done nothing to wrong them. On the contrary, we treat them like family, but they are scheming to take our huge fortune. If it weren't for his father, everyone would have left quietly with their things because of my grandfather's kindness. It was the butler who secretly encouraged everyone to take the opportunity to get more things, since he and my grandfather had a special relationship, and there was no reason to give more to others than to him."
"My grandfather pretended not to understand, it was just a matter of having one more pair of chopsticks in the house, and he watched coldly as that mother and daughter ran around. Everyone around was smart, how could they possibly want the Qin family's adopted daughter?"
"The old lady went to great lengths to find a son-in-law for her granddaughter. After much deliberation, she chose someone who liked to scheme. Both families wanted to use the Qin family as a stepping stone, so they quickly agreed to the marriage. However, my grandfather didn't care about anything, which angered them. So they seized the opportunity to try and drag the Qin family into the mire."
"Although my grandfather intended to lay low, he didn't have a complete plan yet, otherwise he and my grandmother wouldn't have..."
It's clear that he had a deep affection for his maternal grandparents, and it's rare to see him harbor such intense hatred towards others.
As they were talking, the family saw Ying Yan, their eyes lit up, and they greeted him warmly as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, Yanyan, when did you get back? You didn't even tell your aunt, so your aunt could have asked your uncle to pick you up. Where are you staying now? You're not at your dad's house, are you? Let's not change the date, let's do it tomorrow, and I'll have your uncle pick you up for dinner..." The woman's skin wasn't fair to begin with, and she was wearing a particularly daring bright pink dress and emerald green sandals.
Her collar, arms, and calves were tanned by the sun, and now, with her V-neck sleeveless dress, these marks were fully exposed, making her look like a zebra, with each stripe standing out clearly.
She had a head of frizzy curly hair and wore heavy makeup, which looked like it was done carefully, but the cosmetics were of poor quality, and her skin was rough and oily. In addition, the weather outside was hot, and she had traveled from the city to get here, so her makeup was basically all sticky.
It's like a dark-skinned clown sneaking into the whole venue.
Ke Meiyu chuckled unkindly, unable to stop, burying her head behind Ying Yan, her whole body trembling.
"Yan Yan, who is this? How can she be so rude? She doesn't even greet her elders." The woman who had changed her name to Qin Xiaohe had noticed Ke Meiyu earlier.
She had seen a lot in the Qin family, and it could be said that apart from the young lady, no one's appearance could compare to Ke Meiyu's.
She truly shone wherever she went, capturing everyone's attention!
Afraid his wife would laugh so hard she'd fall to the ground, Ying Yan put his arm around her shoulder and gently patted her back to help her catch her breath, replying casually, "My wife. She's obedient and polite, but she doesn't have to greet everyone she sees, does she?"
