Chapter 16
Wen Yu’s expression stiffened and he silently found an excuse for himself. “I’m a good man and I don’t fight with won.”
Wen Nian finally sat on the back seat of the bicycle. Wen Yu started stepping on the pedals and riding ho excitedly. “Your Highness, sit tight! Let’s go back to the palace!”
There were many small food shops on both sides of the school gate. Shen Jun had just finished eating and walked out of a noodle shop when he saw a young girl tugging at the hem of a boy’s clothes. The girl was sitting in the back seat with her face raised against the cool sumr evening breeze, her face full of happiness.
Shen Jun took a glance and walked towards a high-end neighborhood next to the school.
Xifeng Court was a high-end building developed by the Shen Corporation in Hai City, located adjacent to the No.1 Middle School. Property in this building was considered a ‘double school district,’ which ant that it was located in the catchnt areas of two highly regarded schools. The surrounding living facilities were complete, and there were even high-end office buildings and shopping malls nearby. The building was also next to the main river of Hai City. It was an ideal place to find peace amidst the chaos.
For each of the three consecutive generations, the Shen Family have had only one child. Shen Jun, being the only heir, did not receive any special treatnt from the current head of the family, Old Master Shen. On the contrary, his grandfather demanded even more from him. For his studies, Shen Jun was sent away from the capital city to learn how to live independently. Although a place to live was arranged for him in advance, everything else was based on the standard of living of an ordinary high school student.
However, Shen Jun’s mother still had concerns. Knowing that her brother was now the deputy secretary of the mayor of Hai City, she argued with her father-in-law for a long ti and finally arranged for Shen Jun to live in Hai City so that she could take care of him.
The Zhao family had three children. Zhao Jiao was the middle child. Zhao’s parents had Zhao Wu when they were old. And so, he was only eight years older than Shen Jun, so the two of them had always interacted as peers.
The Zhao family had a political background, and two of their sons followed in their father’s footsteps. Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu pursued a career in politics, while Zhao Jiao was a rebel who wanted to enter the business world. When she started her own business, she t her husband, Shen Lin, who married into the Shen family.
Shen Jun had just reached ho when he received a call from his uncle.
Zhao Wu’s clear voice ca from the receiver. “Niuniu, you don’t have plans for the weekend, right? Uncle will take you out for fun!”
Niuniu was Shen Jun’s nickna. Due to the fact that he was born prematurely, his body had been weak since he was young. There had always been a saying among the people that it was easier to raise soone with a cheap-sounding na. The na also expressed his family’s wish that Shen Jun to be as strong as a cow. That was why he started practicing martial arts at the age of three to strengthen his body.
Shen Jun had no plans so he allowed Zhao Wu to make arrangents.
At ten o’clock on Saturday morning, Zhao Wu drove over to pick him up. Shen Jun left the house in casual sportswear.
Shen Jun opened the car door and got into the car. Only then did he realize that there was a girl he had never seen before sitting in the back seat. She had her head slightly lowered and looked a little timid. He was a little speechless. His uncle was good at everything, but he changed girlfriends quite frequently. “Uncle.”
Zhao Wu had a pair of seductive-looking eyes, which appeared very affectionate when he looked at soone. He reached out and patted his nephew’s shoulder as a greeting. “Old Lin and Old Yuan know that you’re coming over, so they ca to Hai City this weekend.”
Lin Shen, Yuan Tao, and Zhao Wu grew up together and were like brothers. They all belonged to the second and third generations of political officials.
Ever since Shen Jun started studying, he would be sent back to his grandparents’ house every sumr break to take care of them. Shen Jun was not only good-looking but also skilled in martial arts. Zhao Wu liked to bring him out to show off, and the older children would bring the younger ones along. After a while, everyone beca familiar with each other.
Shen Jun saw that the car seed to be heading towards the suburbs and asked curiously, “Where are we going?”
Zhao Wu whistled and replied, “Since we are in Hai City, we have to go to the sea!”
Wen Nian didn’t do anything for the past two days during the weekend. She spent all her ti studying in Year One. When the Wen family saw Wen Nian’s transformation, they realized that their once sensible and obedient daughter had really returned. In order to show their support, the family tiptoed around the house, afraid that the loud noise would affect Wen Nian’s studies.
During the day, Wen Yu had to work part-ti for five hours. And so, Wen Nian noted down all the concepts she didn’t understand during the day and decided to ask Wen Yu all the questions at night.
Wen Yu had just finished explaining a question when he frowned slightly and asked in confusion, “This is knowledge from the third year of junior high school. You should be very familiar with it. It’s only been a little over a year since you last studied it properly. Why does it feel like your brain hasn’t been used for more than ten years?”
Feeling guilty, Wen Nian touched the tip of her nose. She then pretended to be reasonable and retorted loudly, “Even if you haven’t used your brain for a year, you can forget a lot of information! You have never experienced it before so how would you know!”
Zhou i carried the fruits into Wen Nian’s bedroom. “Wen Yu, teach her well. You have no patience at all! If you continue with this attitude, we will cancel buying your birthday present this year.”
Wen Yu pointed at himself in disbelief. What did he say that showed a bad attitude? He opened his mouth and wanted to argue, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. After all, this was his mother and sister. He only dared to let out a barely audible “hmph” to express his unyielding attitude.
