Chapter 433 -432: Do You Know Whose Favor We Have Received?
Ye Jinwen eventually still came to the Shen Family.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Shen were quite enthusiastic towards him, just as if the incident from two years ago had never happened.
They completely refrained from mentioning it and treated him even more dearly than their own son.
This is how marriages between families work; once interests are tied together, the relationship becomes incredibly solid.
He greeted them respectfully and very politely, setting down a pile of gifts he had brought.
He actually very much wanted to leave the Shen Family at this point, but how could Mr.
and Mrs.
Shen possibly let him go?
He had to stay for dinner.
Fortunately at this time, Shen Yihe came downstairs, and their exchange of a few words somewhat eased Ye Jinwen’s awkwardness.
Shen Yixin, on the other hand, stood to one side, showing neither happiness nor unhappiness, just indifference.
Compared to her indifference, another member of the Shen family was quite the opposite in their enthusiasm.
Before they had exchanged but a few words, a lively and cheerful young girl suddenly darted out from the crowd and hopped over to Ye Jinwen’s side.
“Brother Ye!” she exclaimed in delight.
Ye Jinwen took a closer look, and his head began to throb.
Why was the Shen Family’s capricious young lady here too!
The Shen Family had two daughters, aside from Shen Yixin; there was also Shen Yiyao.
Ever since his engagement to Shen Yixin, this capricious young lady seemed happier than both parties actually involved in the engagement.
Every time she saw him, she would incessantly call out “brother,” a treatment not even her own brother received.
Shen Yiyao, oblivious to Ye Jinwen’s mood, flitted around him like a sparrow: “Brother Ye, you’re back!
Have you seen Brother Qimo lately?
Can you take me to see him?”
Shen Yiyao’s affection for Xiao Qimo was no secret.
Xiao Qimo had never given her a glance, yet the more he ignored her, the more persistent she became, especially since Ye Jinwen was on good terms with Xiao Qimo, so she often thought of approaching Xiao Qimo through Ye Jinwen.
“Brother Ye, is Brother Qimo at the Xiao Family now?
Take me to see him, please!”
Ye Jinwen, feeling a headache coming on, moved several steps away and stood right beside Shen Yihe.
“Why don’t you go find him yourself?”
He also covertly pinched Shen Yihe, signaling him to help out quickly.
Shen Yihe was helpless as well: “Yiyao, if you keep this up, Brother Ye might not dare to come here anymore.”
Ye Jinwen: He was sure there was another meaning in these words, wasn’t there?
Shen Yiyao pouted, dissatisfied: “Bro, don’t you butt in!
Brother Ye, please take me!
If I go by myself, I can’t even get through the Xiao Family’s door…”
She did have some self-awareness.
Ye Jinwen shook his head; if Brother Seven knew she paid a visit, he would indeed directly kick her out.
Shen Yihe interrupted Shen Yiyao, “Yiyao, Master Mo has another half now, stop meddling!
Go back to your room.”
Shen Yiyao was shocked: “What—”
Both Mr.
and Mrs.
Shen were taken aback.
Ye Jinwen did not want to discuss these matters and, after brushing it off with a few words, moved on.
It wasn’t until he took his seat in the dining room that he barely had a few bites before Mrs.
Shen spoke up.
“Jinwen, when do you plan on marrying Yixin?”
——
The next day was Wan Haixiang’s electromagnetism class.
Early in the morning, all the students were ready for battle, having prepared their textbooks and materials, and taking seats in the classroom well in advance.
It was because the homeroom teacher had previously said that Wan Haixiang was a professor specially requested to come from the lab, so everyone was very respectful.
A while before class started, Wan Haixiang was walking through the villa and just happened to run into Xiu Qian.
His stern demeanor softened instantly, and from a distance, he waved at Xiu Qian, “Xiu Qian, come over!”
Xiu Qian knew he would be called over, so it wasn’t much of a surprise.
Due to certain family reasons, they knew each other; he walked over to Wan Haixiang, textbook in hand, his steps a bit slow.
Wan Haixiang looked at him and didn’t miss the gloominess in his eyes, remarking, “It’s been several years, and you’ve grown so much.
You also scored second place in the recent exams, not bad at all.
I’m here to substitute teach specifically for you!”
Wan Haixiang’s intention was clear.
These exams would always privately select favored students, an unspoken understanding among them.
Xiu Qian chuckled, “There’s still a first place ahead of me.”
“Yes, I know who you’re referring to, Lu Mian, right?
I’ve seen her results and even had someone check her school performance.
How to put it?
She’s smart but her grades are very inconsistent, fluctuating up and down.
The most stable and reliable one is still you; you’re the student I have the highest hopes for in this group.”
Xiu Qian pursed his lips.
“I will be teaching you for a while, so any questions you have, feel free to ask me.
Uncle will do his utmost to take you to the next level!”
With these words, Wan Haixiang essentially offered Xiu Qian a private tutoring session.
Others might be overjoyed to hear this, but Xiu Qian just smiled faintly, not finding anything to be proud or excited about.
Wan Haixiang didn’t notice anything unusual; Xiu Qian had always been this way, and it didn’t bother him.
He patted the boy’s shoulder, “I know you’re still hung up on that past incident.
But I’ve inquired about it, and the reason you guys are training at Yangfan Hotel is actually because of your uncle’s investment.”
With that said, Xiu Qian suddenly looked up, finally showing interest.
“You’re saying he invested?”
He seemed to remember something, a range of emotions flickering in his eyes, which he struggled to suppress.
Wan Haixiang nodded, “Yes, he must have invested because you are here.
What does that tell you?
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
It shows that he still has high hopes for you, that he wants to nurture you.”
While Wan Haixiang’s ramblings echoed in his ears, Xiu Qian couldn’t hear anything else.
He felt no happiness and even doubted the veracity of the news.
Why would Xiao Qimo invest in the committee for his sake?
That demon, even for a pig, wouldn’t invest because of him, Xiu Qian!
The conversation between Wan Haixiang and Xiu Qian took place in the corridor, and after they went their separate ways, a girl quietly emerged from near the stairs.
She was Xiu Qian’s deskmate, Qu Weiwei.
Qu Weiwei looked after their departing figures, her face filled with uncontrollable excitement as she muttered to herself.
So it turned out that their stay in this luxurious hotel was all thanks to Xiu Qian!
Despite being the biggest contributor, he remained so low-key!
Qu Weiwei couldn’t wait to return to the classroom, and seeing that neither Wan Haixiang nor Xiu Qian had come back, she hurriedly shared the exciting news with everyone.
“Do you know whose influence got us to train at Yangfan Hotel?”
Everyone looked up in confusion, “Isn’t it because our cohort is exceptionally talented?”
“I think you’re exceptionally funny!” Qu Weiwei, unable to contain her excitement, kept hopping around, “It’s Xiu Qian!
My deskmate Xiu Qian, they invested in the competition committee for him!”
“It’s Xiu Qian?!”
A chorus of shock ensued.
“That means our whole class should thank Xiu Qian!”
Qu Weiwei dropped another bombshell, “And, the investor is Xiu Qian’s uncle!
They’re uncle and nephew!”
“Wow—” the classroom erupted.
“Boss President, I’m okay with this!”
It was only upon hearing this that Lu Mian, who had been listlessly propped up on the desk, slowly raised her head.
