Chapter 51: Chapter 51: I Really Want to See Him
Of course, Shen Nian had no idea that in such a short time, the people around her had been thinking so much!
Shen Nian was indeed furious that Qin Xueling had torn up her report card, but it wasn’t something she couldn’t handle.
Even if she really couldn’t go to college, with the rich experience from her past life, Shen Nian didn’t believe her abilities were any worse than those of a college graduate.
Besides, Shen Nian now had her interdimensional space! Although she hadn’t used anything from inside it yet, she was sure it would prove to be a great help eventually.
’If nothing else, I could probably make a fortune just by growing medicinal herbs in my space!’
Besides, Shen Nian didn’t actually believe she couldn’t go to college.
In her last life, she had foolishly given up on her own.
But in this life, she would absolutely not give up so easily. So what if Qin Xueling had torn up her report card? Her grades still existed. It was just that Shen Nian couldn’t think of the best solution right away.
’But there’s still a long time before college admissions. At least I still have a chance, right?’
"Xiao Nian, don’t be sad. It hurts us to see you like this."
"Yeah, Sis, you still have us! Worst case, we can just retake the exam next year. Your grades are so good, after all!"
Shen Nian had been lost in her own thoughts the whole way and hadn’t said a word. After they arrived at the Shen family home, her family couldn’t hold back any longer.
Only then did Shen Nian realize her silence on the way over must have made them think she was sad. ’Incredibly sad, by the looks of it!’
"Mom, Dad, Big Brother, Xiang Nan, don’t worry. I’m not sad!"
"Huh?"
’How could she not be sad? Just thinking about something like this would make them sad!’ But when they looked at Shen Nian now, she had a smile on her face. It really didn’t seem like she was sad at all.
"I’m really fine. I’m not that easily defeated! Besides, who says I can’t go to college? I won’t admit defeat until the very last day! Just you wait, I promise I’ll bring back a college acceptance letter for you all!"
"As long as you’re not sad, that’s what matters! Xiao Nian, are you hungry? This whole mess has taken up the entire day!"
"Mom, I’m fine. I’m just sorry that today’s incident alarmed all of you!"
"Silly girl, how could you not tell us when something this big happened! How could we possibly stand by and watch you get bullied?"
"Alright, alright, it’s my fault. If anything like this ever happens again, I’ll tell you all right away!"
"That’s more like it! You rest for a bit. I’ll go get dinner ready."
"Mom, don’t trouble yourself. Xinyue and I are heading back soon. We came in such a hurry today. I’ll make time to come back and see you all properly next time."
Hearing Shen Nian’s words, Miao Cuifen finally realized that Lu Xinyue was still standing right beside her daughter!
"Huh?"
Lu Xinyue was still worrying about how she was going to explain this to her brother when she suddenly heard Shen Nian mention her name, which made her jump.
After snapping back to reality, she remembered she was at Shen Nian’s family home and recalled what Shen Nian had just said.
"Sister-in-law, I’m fine. It’s rare for you to come back for a visit."
The Shen family had been worried about whether Shen Nian was being treated well at the Lu Family’s home, but seeing Lu Xinyue’s attitude toward Shen Nian now, they felt much more at ease.
This was all thanks to Lu Xinyue’s change of heart toward Shen Nian. After everything that had happened, Lu Xinyue’s previous dislike for her had mostly transformed into admiration and respect. If the Shen family had seen the old Lu Xinyue, they would have been heartbroken for Shen Nian!
"It’s fine. We should head back early so Mom and Dad don’t worry."
When Shen Nian and Lu Xinyue had left the house, they hadn’t mentioned they were going to the Shen family’s home. It wouldn’t be good to make their in-laws worry if they got back late.
Miao Cuifen had clearly thought of this as well and nodded in agreement with Shen Nian.
"I’ll pack some things for you in a moment. I’ll have your big brother and Xiang Nan escort you back, just in case you two girls run into any trouble on the road."
"Okay, thank you, Mom!"
And so, Shen Nian and Lu Xinyue ended up being escorted all the way back to the Lu Family home by the Shen brothers, once again laden with bags of all sizes.
That evening, after Father Lu and Mrs. Lu heard about the day’s events from Lu Xinyue, they were full of sighs.
"Xiao Nian, don’t worry. We’ll ask around about the report card situation in a couple of days. Didn’t you want to apply to a university in B City? Why don’t we have Lu Cheng ask around over there? He’s close by, after all."
She had been fine when no one mentioned him, but now that Mrs. Lu had suddenly brought up Lu Cheng, Shen Nian realized she really did miss him. She even wished she could see him right this very moment.
"Mom, I want to go call Lu Cheng."
