Chapter 372: Chapter 373 Must Make a Scene

Xu Ying immediately flared up after sharing the news about a villager impersonating someone else in the college entrance exams,

and she burst out with a curse, “Fuck, how dare these people do this.”

Even though he didn’t participate in this year’s college entrance exams, he was aware of the importance of the exam. For people with money and power, the exam wasn’t a big deal, but for those without connections or wealth, it was the only opportunity to change their fate.

Misfortune always targeted the suffering, how could these bastards dare do this, he suddenly thought of the girl next door. She too had studied hard every day.

Everyone in her family had praised her, saying she would definitely get into a university with her good grades, yet she couldn’t even get into a vocational school.

That girl felt so ashamed towards her parents, towards the support her brothers and sisters had given her, that she even attempted to commit suicide by jumping into a river.

The more Xu Yan thought about it, the angrier he became, “I’m on this case. I have to hang up now, I need to get ready and then contact some of my friends. I refuse to believe those people can be so brazen.”

After hanging up, Xu Ying gave Gu Fuzhu and Lu Daya an OK sign, “It’s on, just wait for the trouble to start, we’ll make a fuss too.”

Although making a fuss seemed unreasonable, sometimes it was necessary to stir things up before certain people would take action.

“Xu Ying, then I’ll also go and get ready. I’ll pull together more students to support those who were replaced.”

“Okay,” Xu Ying nodded.

After Zhang Wu left, Gu Fuzhu grabbed a slice of watermelon, “Yingying, I think that Zhang Wu has an unusual look in his eyes when he sees you, as if he’s full of admiration.”

Lu Daya was shocked and looked around, “Really? Don’t talk nonsense.

If Huo Chen finds out, he’ll definitely be jealous.”

Xu Ying was also startled by her words, “Don’t just say anything, he’s just a bit impressed by me, thinking that I did well at the diplomatic exchange event before.

Plus, I’m married and pregnant, if he still likes me, he must be foolish.”

After hearing what Xu Ying said, Gu Fuzhu thought about it and it did seem to make sense. Xu Ying was married and pregnant; any normal person wouldn’t fall for her.

After all, that would be immoral.

“What do you want to eat? The boss is treating,” Xu Ying grandly took out the menu, trying to look cool in front of the two.

Lu Daya wasn’t shy and started ordering right away, but then she remembered her older brother, “My second brother is busy, where is he?”

Lu Aimin stood to the side, as if he were part of the wall decor.

“Second Brother, when did you start standing behind me without saying anything?” Lu Daya turned her head to find Lu Aimin looking surprised.

Lu Aimin’s mouth twitched slightly, “I just came over. How’s it going, adjusting okay?

Do you still have enough for living expenses? If not, your brother has money.”

Lu Daya shook her head, “I have money. I saved quite a bit from before when I was working.”

But Lu Aimin still stuffed twenty yuan into her hand, “If it’s not enough, ask your brother for more. A girl needs to have money to spend when she’s out and about.

We don’t need to spend others’ money, okay?”

Xu Ying felt there was a deeper meaning in his words.

Gu Fuzhu winked at her and whispered, “A scholar from our department is pursuing Daya. I’ve heard he’s from around our area.

It seems that when Daya was teaching in the county, they were colleagues.”

Xu Ying looked puzzled; she hadn’t heard Lu Daya mention this.

It was clear that Lu Aimin was aware of all this.

After Lu Aimin left, as a good bestie, Xu Ying started the interrogation, “Dating someone now?”

“Not yet.”

“So it’s coming soon? How long have you two known each other, did you meet while you were teaching? What’s he like?”

Lu Daya’s cheeks flushed red, “Yes, he’s quite alright.”

“Then why aren’t you together?” Xu Ying was extremely curious.

Gu Fuzhu leaned over the table, her eyes full of curiosity.

“It’s just that his family background is too good, it feels unreal. He’s also handsome and tall, I always feel like I’m dreaming,” Lu Daya said fearfully.

Xu Ying laughed, “What’s wrong, do you think he has ulterior motives for you?”

Lu Daya shook her head, “I don’t have much to offer.”

Gu Fuzhu enviously added from the side, “He treats her so well, buys her breakfast every day, takes notes for her, and follows her around. I don’t know what Sister Daya is thinking.”

Xu Ying’s expression gradually grew serious, turning into a psychologist, “Sister Daya, do you like him?”

At the mention of the name Sister Daya, Lu Daya’s heart fluttered, and she nodded somewhat distractedly.

“Then why don’t you agree to be together? Are you afraid he’s a jerk, just playing with you? Not planning to marry you?”

Lu Daya nodded again–the incident with Sun Yiliang had left an impact on her.

She was already lacking in self-esteem, coming from a family that favored sons over daughters, deprived of sufficient paternal and maternal love, and was also notoriously sensitive and suspicious.

“His father is the Deputy Factory Director at the factory, and his mother is also a teacher. His siblings all have formal jobs. I come from a rural background, and my parents are the way they are.

Besides my being a college graduate, so is he after all, and he’s also handsome and tall, he’s so much better than me.”

Xu Ying gave a wry smile, reached out, and held her hand encouragingly, “You’re not bad either.

You’re also pretty, have a nice figure, and most importantly, you’re educated, kind-hearted, and have inner beauty.

Sometimes, a relationship is about whether two souls are compatible, not about family background. What’s important with parents is parents.

It’s about looking at a person themselves, you know. You’ve managed to study hard in such a complicated family environment, not falling for feudal thoughts, daring to resist,

to make changes. I think you’re the best, you’re not inferior to anyone.”

Xu Ying finished speaking and glanced at Gu Fuzhu, who immediately nodded and looking at Lu Daya said, “Daya, I really admire you, you managed to work and study through your own efforts.

This kind of perseverance is something I can’t maintain. I’m actually taking shortcuts, with the help of my parents, while you could still do so well without anyone’s help, truly amazing.”

“You really are amazing!” Lu Aimin said while standing behind his sister. In his heart, his big sister was the most amazing person.

After speaking, he put down his food, “We don’t spend others’ money; your brother now earns over a hundred a month, I can support you.

Don’t think you’re less than anyone, but of course, don’t be fooled by others either. Your second brother will always be your strong support.”

“Did you hear that? You have your second brother, and you have me and Fuzhu and Fuying. We’re all your support,” Xu Ying said with a smile.

Lu Daya’s eyes reddened as she looked at her brother, feeling again that only her second brother, Yingying, and Fuzhu Fuying were truly good to her.

Chewing on a chicken leg and in tears, she whimpered, “Wuwuwu~ I miss Fuying.”

“Hahahaha, when we go back for the New Year’s, we’ll see each other again. Then we’ll go to the mountain in your village, and we’ll even barbecue,” Gu Fuzhu said, looking forward with excitement, salivating at the thought of Xu Ying’s cooking.

Lu Daya nodded, her sadness turning into an appetite as she took a big bite, “Second brother, is my sister-in-law coming back this year?” she asked timidly.
