She couldn’t afford to offend any of them.

So she made up a story, “You wouldn’t know this, but it’s popular overseas, it’s called brunch.”

What was her brother up to?

He put together a random group of intellectuals, just making her listen to things like where to study in Beijing University, which majors were interesting… did it have anything to do with her?

What made her even more disappointed was that the three of them started chatting!

Ignoring her, they chatted! Up!

No one was coaxing her to play, no one cared about her curfew imposed by her brother.

They were giggling there, chatting about their fun times at university.

Excuse me, could someone pay attention to her?

Actually, she was a little unfair to Sheng Weixia.

She was indeed curious about Beijing University, but she wasn’t obsessed with it.

In her previous life, she had not only gone to university but had also continued to get a master’s degree, if it hadn’t been for the stroke of luck of getting an offer from Wall Street, she might have even gotten a doctorate… so, it was not easy for her to pretend to be a freshman.

Yu Shulan couldn’t help but send a pager to A Jiu:

[I told you to let Sheng Weixia see the dog, where’s the dog?]

About half an hour later, Yu Shulan, who had been bored listening to them talk about university student clubs and internships, received a reply from A Jiu, “Master Li isn’t here right now, he’ll have to send it later, you entertain Miss Sheng well, Boss said you can chat with her about her studies, you’ll be a senior next semester.”

Yes yes yes, she had been acting like a low-level thug all day, she was almost worshipping Sheng Weixia.

Also, what senior?

The Gu family had sent Qingwei abroad to study, they didn’t make her suffer through the college entrance exam, did her family have less money than the Gu family?

Yu Shulan angrily slammed down the phone.

“You wouldn’t happen to be thinking about going abroad to study, would you?”

Sheng Weixia didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but the phone in Yu Shulan’s house had excellent reception, she heard what A Jiu said on the phone.

It wasn’t surprising.

Luo Qiaorong had given her Huanggang Test Papers earlier, but Yu Shulan looked at the book like it was a horror movie, she obviously didn’t want to take the college entrance exam.

Ma Yirui and Luo Qiaorong also looked over, Yu Shulan put her hands on her hips and said defiantly, “Why not?”

Before Sheng Weixia could speak, Ma Yirui refuted her more sharply, “Please understand, foreign universities have a wide admission policy but strict graduation requirements, it’s very difficult to graduate. Don’t go and waste a few years of your time, spend a lot of your brother’s money, and then come back empty-handed without even a degree.”

Luo Qiaorong nodded in agreement, “That’s right, everything has to be done on your own after going abroad, food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all challenges, Shulan, you really can’t handle that hardship. I believe Yu Shi wouldn’t support you thinking like that, oh, speaking of which, isn’t Yu Shi going to study abroad in England for half a year next semester?”

“I heard it’s Cambridge, that’s so amazing!” Ma Yirui suddenly thought of something and laughed, “Don’t even mention Beijing University, even our Beijing Normal University has legends about Yu Shi. He won Best Debater at the last university debate competition, I don’t know who heard that our two families were related, wow, I received a whole ten letters asking to pass them on!”

Yu Shulan scoffed, “My brother doesn’t care about love letters. From childhood to adulthood, there have been hundreds, if not hundreds, of love letters stuffed in my room, he hasn’t looked at a single one!”

She said, then wagged a finger, “Poor things, they’re throwing their glances at a blind man.”

Sheng Weixia suddenly remembered Gu Qingwei confessing in a wedding dress, apart from everything else, her confession to Yu Shi was also deep, but in the end, she only got a cold “stupid” comment.

It was curious, what kind of girl would he like.

Luo Qiaorong said in surprise, “Yu Shi is twenty, right? Has he never dated? With such good conditions, I’m a little curious who he will finally fall for.”

Speaking of her brother, Yu Shulan had a smug look on her face, her tone full of pride, “Of course she has to be exceptionally excellent, my brother would only like her. He’s a good student, he can make money, he’s also clean-cut, he deserves the best girl!”

Ma Yirui rolled her eyes, “Then you, your little sister, have to work hard too, don’t let your sister-in-law look down on you later, first get into university and show everyone.”

“You!” Yu Shulan stomped her foot.

Sheng Weixia couldn’t help but laugh softly.

If Yu Shi had any flaws, Yu Shulan would be the one to deduct points.

Once again, she admired Gu Qingwei, she could not only marry a man she didn’t love, but she could also make Yu Shulan happy.

“You guys!” Yu Shulan pointed at Ma Yirui and Sheng Weixia, “You’re ganging up on me!”

“Alright alright, isn’t this for your own good?” Luo Qiaorong was several years older than them, her words were persuasive, “Let’s eat, I think it’s Yan Bo Jiang Nan’s food, specially prepared for you, you can’t get it outside.”

Yu Shulan was stimulated by Ma Yirui, she ate while gritting her teeth, “You just wait, it’s just the college entrance exam, I’ll take it and show you! Don’t underestimate me!”

She muttered and counted the scores of each subject in the last semester, which made Sheng Weixia unexpectedly discover that it was actually okay, at least much better than she imagined.

It seems that arrogance does have capital behind it.

“With this foundation, what are you afraid of?” Sheng Weixia said truthfully, “We can get into university in the countryside, you have such good conditions, of course, you have more opportunities.”

Since they met, they had been constantly at odds, this was the only time they had a peaceful conversation.

Yu Shulan was stunned.

She certainly wouldn’t forget the reason why she was confined by Yu Shi, besides scaring people with Wu Biao, it was because she bullied people, she took advantage of her superior conditions to bully a girl who had just learned about her identity and returned to the city from the countryside.

In her understanding, coming from the countryside meant being rustic, it meant being unsophisticated.

If it were her, she would definitely hide it so that people wouldn’t find out.

However, Sheng Weixia just said it so openly.

Yu Shulan savored the strange feeling in her heart, there was a feeling of hitting cotton with a fist, a sense of helplessness, and also a feeling of embarrassment that her mask had been torn off.

She said incoherently, “Who needs your encouragement, I know it myself, of course!”

Besides Yu Shulan, Ma Yirui and Luo Qiaorong were also stunned.

Not for any other reason, Yu Shulan’s friends were mostly girls from coal boss families in Jinzhong City, they all followed her lead.

Unexpectedly, she had changed, she was no longer vain.

It seems that A Jiu wasn’t lying, Yu Shulan was now wholeheartedly trying to learn to be better.

The great man’s words are right, we should look at people with a developmental perspective.

Ma Yirui raised her soup bowl with both hands, “I was narrow-minded, you haven’t been a complete slacker, I’ll drink to that!”

Luo Qiaorong couldn’t help but laugh, she accompanied the three girls in drinking soup as a toast.

Unconsciously, they ate until almost one o’clock.

They didn’t play any games, they didn’t sing or dance, and they didn’t even get bored.

But Sheng Weixia had developed the habit of taking an ironclad nap after her rebirth, when the time came, she started yawning, “I have to go home for a nap, I’m so sleepy.”

She could eat less, but she couldn’t sleep less.

She cherished every nap like a baby now.

Luo Qiaorong saw that she was very sleepy, she pulled her and said, “I’ll go with you, I can send you along the way.”

“Wait wait wait!” Yu Shulan grabbed her, “It’s just a nap, don’t I have room in my house?”

Wu Biao hadn’t come yet, she couldn’t fail!

Actually, Sheng Weixia was a little reluctant to leave.

She had hit it off with Ma Yirui and Luo Qiaorong, they had a great conversation, she was even a little looking forward to university life.

Her sleepiness made her nerves too relaxed, she asked, “Then you swear you won’t trick me?”

“I really…” Yu Shulan gritted her teeth angrily, “Do I really make you distrust me that much?”

Yes.

You would embarrass a country girl by making her sing in public, you would make a girl who couldn’t drink alcohol drink white wine, you would use Wu Biao to scare a timid stranger you’ve never met.

Yu Shulan saw the answer in her eyes, her expression went blank for a moment before she said fiercely, “If I trick you again, let me… let me break out in acne all over my face, how about that?”

“I’ll keep an eye on her for you!” Ma Yirui patted her chest and assured her, “Don’t worry, Shulan is a bit of a tomboy, but she keeps her promises.”

Sheng Weixia weighed it, she might be able to fall asleep at home.

Besides, she wasn’t picky about beds, someone who came from an investment bank had no right to be picky about beds.

“Alright, I’ll just sleep until one thirty.”

She always kept her naps to about half an hour, just a power nap.

Yu Shulan showed her utmost sincerity and gave her her bedroom.

But Sheng Weixia didn’t like sleeping in other people’s beds, so she slept on the sofa in Yu Shulan’s bedroom.

In the living room.

Without the soul of the conversation, Ma Yirui picked up a book from the bookshelf to read, Luo Qiaorong went to take a look at Sheng Weixia sleeping on the sofa, she came back and sighed, “Your mother passed away early, if she saw that you finally made normal friends, I don’t know how happy she would be.”

Yu Shulan was a little annoyed, “Auntie Rong, am I that incompetent? She, how is she a ‘normal friend’, are my other friends not normal?”

“You’re not incompetent, you just have no one to restrain you.” Luo Qiaorong looked at her sternly, “Your brother, a big man, is studying in Beijing and can’t take care of you, and it’s not convenient for others to intervene, look at the friends you’ve made, they all just coax you to be happy, they don’t let you learn well, they even coax you to go abroad!”

But Sheng Weixia isn’t her friend!

Yu Shulan added in her heart, of course she wouldn’t consider herself a friend either.

“Xia is really the only clear stream around our Shulan.” Ma Yirui chimed in, “And I think, she really doesn’t look like a girl from the countryside. I’m not saying that the countryside is backward or bad, it’s just that her speech, her knowledge, her vision, it’s like she was raised in a well-educated family.”

“That’s right.” Luo Qiaorong had also not met a student who was so young and had such ideas for a long time, that’s why she had the idea of recruiting talent for her department.
