Shen Chu Xin slowly bent over to change her shoes, not knowing what to say to comfort her at this time.
Because she understood the hurt and pain, she felt that all languages were pale.
”Sister Shen,” Little Su opened her mouth first, hanging Shen Yuxin's coat, ”Thank you.”
Shen Yuxin suddenly raised her eyes to look at her, confirming that she didn't hear wrong. This girl was really thanking her, but she didn't understand.
Xiaosu took a deep breath and smiled bitterly, ”I don't want to bring up what happened last night, so I beg Big Sister Shen to promise me one thing.” She carefully sized up Shen Yue's face which was as calm as water, clenching both of her hands, it took a lot of effort before she could continue.
Shen Yuxin felt that she really didn't know this girl well. She nodded lightly and said lightly, ”Ten minutes.” Seeing how upset Xiaosu was, she added, ”I want to prepare breakfast for the old lady.”
Breakfast was not rich, but it was nutritious. After the old lady finished eating, her mood seemed to be a lot better than yesterday. Shen Chuxin could feel this after she carefully cleaned the whole bedroom and listened to her questions.
The window opened and the sun came in. The sunlight after the rain was exceptionally bright.
The old lady sitting on the bed was radiant. Although he had never seen her young, Shen Chuxin often thought that this old lady must have been a peerless beauty when she was young, looking at her elegant and noble demeanor.
But when she met her, she was still in her late years.
”A blind date, how was it?”
Yesterday when he went out at noon, Shen Yuxin told the old lady about him leaving without hiding anything. At this moment, the old lady was in a good mood. She leaned against the sofa and asked softly. He touched the thick and famous French book, and some tenderness flowed from his eyes.
Shen Chuxin took care of her bed, putting the bedsheet and pillowcase from yesterday into the cleaning box. Just as she was about to carry her downstairs to wash, she heard this question.
Knowing that the old lady cared about her in her own way, he took a cloth and started to clean the lamp sent from England by his friend. With lowered eyes, he replied softly, ”I found the wrong place. I'm still waiting for the other party's call.”
The old lady was silent for a long time. Finally, she opened the book she had read yesterday and cast her gaze into the book. She said, ”Don't force yourself.”
Although his words came from nowhere, Shen Chu Xin understood.
As his eyes grew hot, his heart felt a little sour. After suppressing his emotions, he said, ”You probably don't understand the education in the country. Right now, a good school costs 100,000 yuan as soon as you enter, regardless of what class you are assigned to. ”If I were to enter class A, I would have to spend a bit of money, and all of these would have to be based on this city's hukou. That's why I …”
”According to the newspapers, it's from the Public Zone of the Education Bureau.” The old lady who was seriously looking at the book in her hands said lightly.
Shen Chu Xin smiled, the movements of his hands were light and careful, with his head lowered, he said: ”This kind of thing, means speak. ”When I went to the Education Bureau last week, there was a disturbance by the parents, so I told them about it. The regulations of the country are very clear, but you definitely wouldn't be able to understand what the people from the Education Bureau said at that time.”
”Oh? The Education Bureau still isn't going to give an explanation? ” At this time, the old lady showed some curiosity, she raised her eyes to look at Shen Chu who was polishing the lamp by the bedside.
Shen Chu smiled and shook his head, ”The staff from the Education Bureau said that they couldn't do anything about it, not to mention that they got assigned a district. Even if their Chief were to look for the Principal of A School, he might not necessarily be able to do so. If that's the case, what else can they look for? We can only resign ourselves to fate. ”
Her words were filled with negative emotions.
What kind of life had she lived? Before the age of eighteen, not to mention in A City, even if there were many foreign universities, she would still be happy to go. When would money and status make things difficult for her?
However, it was just a matter of the past.
Now that she had been back for half a year, she had always been running to the Education Bureau when she had the time. Mother and son — no. The money she had saved up in the past few years was for the university she planned to spend on in the future, in the morning. ”She didn't even have a house, and in a moment of desperation, her aunt had forced her to marry on a blind date. This could be considered a solution to her current difficulties.
But the matrimonial affair had not yet been mentioned to Chen, who was a very clever child, and she was afraid to mention it, and he would know that he was doing it for the sake of his schooling.
When he washed his hands and went to the balcony to dry, the doorbell rang.
Shen Chu wiped his hands on his apron and went downstairs to open the door.
Little Su had already returned to her hometown a thousand miles away. When she left, she told her that if her grandaunt asked, she would tell her school to go on an outing and come back in a few days.
When he peeked through the peephole, Shen Chuxin hesitated for a few seconds before opening the door.
”Hello, Miss Shen.” The expressionless man in the black suit, wearing sunglasses and holding a first-aid kit between his outstretched hands, handed it over to her.
Shen Chuxin knitted his brows, with the same expressionless face, he said, ”Take it away.” As she spoke, she was about to close the door, but she didn't do so. A foot from the door once again reached out at a speed that ordinary people wouldn't be able to see, stopping her from doing so.
The man was still expressionless, but he bowed respectfully to her, holding the first-aid kit out in front of her.
”Mr. Sheng said that it would be changed twice a day. It's about time now.” That's what the man said.
