With a secretive look on her face, the Old Madam beckoned to Shen Yugui after Fei Nancheng left the room. She stepped forward and stood in front of the old woman.

The Old Madam lowered her voice. “My precious girl, Grandma can only do so much! That little rascal has a cold character, so you have to contact him often.”

She clenched her fist and waved it in front of her in encouragement. “You’ve got this! Get him to agree to the engagement, and give me a big, fat grandson soon!”

Shen Yugui was at a loss for words.

‘All this secrecy just for that, huh?’

Her mouth twitched. She could feel the Old Madam’s kindness in her adorable act.

Shen Yugui nodded. “I’ll try my best, Grandma!”

She thought that she would have to stay longer, but the Old Madam bluntly turned her away. “Alright, I know you youngsters don’t like to be kept for long. Go on, run along now!”

After Shen Yugui left, the Old Madam called the butler and asked with an expression of curiosity. “Little Li, how are the girl and that little rascal getting along? Tell me!”

The butler was speechless but summarized what had happened in the past few days.

The Old Madam grew thoughtful after hearing everything. “You’re saying that the Shen family wants to collaborate on something, but the girl hasn’t said anything?”

The butler nodded.

After leaving the nursing home and getting in the car to go home, Shen Yugui saw that she received several messages on WeChat. They were all from her sister’s roommate, Zhang Qianqian: [Congxin, if you don’t come to the 10 o’clock class, your credits will be deducted and you’ll be suspended! You won’t be able to graduate this year!]

Shen Yugui suddenly remembered that her sister was a fourth-year university student.

Huaxia University was a famous university located in S City. Her elder sister had sacrificed her blood, sweat, and tears in order to enter this university, so Shen Yugui could not give that up too easily.

She looked at the time. She should still be able to make it to the university in time from here. She quickly told the driver the address.

 –

In school.

Shen Yugui rushed into the classroom just in time.

After signing in, she found a random place to sit down, but the entire class immediately looked at her with surprise.

Shen Yugui’s eyebrows rose. She did not know what happened.

While she was thinking, a WeChat notification appeared on her phone screen. It was from Zhang Qianqian: [Congxin, why are you sitting there?]

‘What’s wrong with sitting here?’

Shen Yugui replied: [?]

[Look to your left.]

Shen Yugui turned and saw a girl sitting a seat away frowning at her.

Her facial features were just average, but her fashion sense was stylish and she had an aura one would have while wearing branded clothes. This made her stand out from the crowd of university students.

It was Shen Zhilan, the daughter of Shen Tianhao and Bai Zhu. She was Shen Yugui’s illegitimate sister who was younger than her by half a year.

Shen Zhilan and her elder sister were both majoring in computer science. Her elder sister was in Class One and Shen Zhilan was in Class Two, but they both had classes in common.

While Shen Yugui was looking at her, the girl next to Shen Zhilan suddenly said bluntly, “What are you looking at? You don’t deserve to sit beside Zhilan. Scram!”

She wanted to say something in return, but the teacher entered the classroom. Shen Zhilan immediately tugged at the girl’s sleeve. “Alright, stop.”

The girl grew indignant. “Zhilan, you’re too kind! She’s an illegitimate daughter born from a mistress. You should just give her a few slaps across the face. What right does she have to sit next to you?”

Shen Yugui was left with a puzzled expression.
