Chapter 938: 937. That car looks familiar?
Upon hearing this, shock was written all over everyone’s face at the dinner table.
“Shushu, how co you never told about such a big thing… It’s my fault, I seem to have never asked how you’re doing in school.”
Lin Yunlan felt a twinge of guilt in her heart, but to Tang Shu, it didn’t really matter because her mother, who had been separated from her original body for fifteen years, frequently called and texted her, mostly about what she had eaten today and whether or not she was tired.
For Tang Shu, this was more comfortable than inquiring about grades or what she had been doing.
Recovering from his initial shock, Xu Qianyun said, “Mom, my sister has always been excellent, how could she not get into any research group? — Umm… although it does sound quite elusive, I don’t think it would be a problem for my sister, right?”
Tang Shu: “….”
So where does this misplaced confidence co from? Is it because I’ve been beating you up so badly in terms of martial prowess?
Xu Chengfeng, on the other hand, was thinking more deeply and looked at Tang Shu with a different regard.
Being able to enter Professor Yu’s research group twice ans that she has great potential in the field of Traditional Chinese dicine. Given the many students at Imperial dical College, only the top talents are selected.
“Xiao Shu, are you planning to specialize in Traditional Chinese dicine in the future?”
Xu Chengfeng was aware of Tang Shu’s progress in the entertainnt industry. On a regular basis, he heard his wife talk about it, and whenever they turned on the TV at ho, aside from the news, it was mostly her dramas that were playing.
Xu Chengfeng had always known that this girl who was three years older than his son had an outstanding appearance and a natural gift for acting. She was making waves in the entertainnt industry, and her future looked imnsely promising.
However, the future represented by a student personally acknowledged by Professor Yu was incomparable to that of a potential star, with the forr’s value being many tis more significant.
eting everyone’s gaze, Tang Shu pondered for a mont before saying, “I’m currently just interested in becoming a pharmacist, and I might develop in this direction in the future.”
“Pharmacist? Xiao An’s company has quite a few outstanding pharmacists.”
This answer surprised everyone, as the first choice for dical students is usually major hospitals or the research institutions affiliated with dical Colleges. Opting to beco a pharmacist was a minority choice.
Xu Qianyu’s cool gaze lingered on Tang Shu’s face montarily, before turning to her fiancé with gleaming eyes.
Unaware of his fiancée’s displeasure, Du An tily issued an invitation, “I think Junior Sister Tang could consider interning at Du Corporation, the pharmaceutical departnt will be very welcoming.”
Lin Yunlan showcased her motherly concern, “Would being a pharmacist be very exhausting? That sounds like a research-oriented job, right? Oh my, would you be so busy that you can’t even eat properly, spending all 24 hours in a day on research or sothing?”
She’d rather her daughter act in dramas or plays. Her girl should be beautiful and well-fed every day, casually date, and not take on overly exhausting work.
Xu Qianyun buried his head in his bowl and chuckled, earning himself a stern look from Tang Shu.
“Mom, it’s too early to discuss this, I’m only in my junior year.”
Considering the dical College’s usual five-year undergraduate and three-year postgraduate programs, she still had plenty of ti when it ca to schooling.
“That’s true, we do need to consider the future work seriously.”
Xu Chengfeng changed the subject once again, turning to his younger son to ask about his studies, causing Xu Qianyun, who was still snickering, to suddenly pull a long face.
Now it was Tang Shu’s turn to chuckle.
The Xu Family’s dinner, with the presence of a head of the household who could control the whole situation, could be described as a complete success.
Around 8 pm, Tang Shu bid farewell to everyone and walked out of the Xu’s house, “Mom, no need to see off, soone’s coming to pick up.”
“Okay… but give a call when you get ho.”
“Sure.”
As much as Lin Yunlan was reluctant to part, in the end, she watched her daughter leave the villa area, and indeed, there was a black business car parked not too far away. However…
“Qianyun, that car your sister is driving… It’s not the one assigned by the company, is it?”
Even without much knowledge about cars, the current head mistress of the Xu Family could tell the difference between a Volkswagen and other comrcial vehicles, just by the different quality appearance alone.
“Oh, it must be Brother Yu who ca to pick her up. He’s her neighbor, and I heard he’s also the son of a good friend of Uncle Tang.”
“The Jing family?”
“Yes, Mom, you should know them, right?”
“I t him several tis more than a decade ago; the kid was only three or four years old at the ti. I never thought he’d be all grown up now.”
From a distance of over ten ters, Lin Yunlan saw Jing Yu stepping out from the driver’s seat. She vaguely rembered a few of her ex-husband’s friends; back when she was living in the capital, they had even visited her ho.
Soon after, Du An ca out from the Xu Family ho, with Xu Qianyu following closely behind.
“No need to see us out, my place is very close by, just a ten-minute journey.”
“Drive safely, see you tomorrow night.”
“Sure.”
Du An reassured his fiancée, and as they turned around, they saw the departing figures of Tang Shu and her companion, and watched as the comrcial vehicle drove off under Lin Yunlan’s gaze.
“Do you find that car looks a bit familiar?”
“Indeed, you don’t see this kind of comrcial vehicle in the capital often. Aunt Lin, who was that just now?”
“That’s Shushu’s friend, ca to pick her up. Xiao An, are you also leaving?”
“Yes Aunt Lin, I have a eting early tomorrow morning, so I won’t disturb you further.”
Du An and Xu Qianyu withdrew their curious gazes, and after exchanging a few cordial words also disappeared from everyone’s sight.
***
After the seven-day long break, when Tang Shu saw her roommates again, she noticed they had tanned a lot.
“You two… you actually went to Africa, didn’t you? Is Xiangnan that hot?”
“Shushu, you’re making fun of us. Don’t you love us anymore?”
Cheng Ranran blinked her pitiful eyes, forcefully squeezing out two tears, making her appearance even more helpless.
Tang Shu rolled her eyes, took a few fresh herbs from Ye Xiaohui’s hands, and despite the sealed bags, she could sll the faint scent of the herbs.
“You’ve got quite the haul. Where did you go?”
“Oh so many places, Xiangnan is really full of treasures everywhere, just that there are also a lot of poisonous insects. If it weren’t for the dicine you prepared for us, I don’t know how we would have made it back.”
Speaking of their recent trip, Cheng Ranran’s eyes lit up trendously, chattering excitedly about all the experiences of the past seven days, bursting with energy.
“…I think I’m going to fall in love with this kind of activity. How do you think it’ll be if I focus my work on this area in the future?”
“Are you referring to adventuring, collecting herbs, or cultivating dicinal plants?”
“Uh… they all seem pretty nice? In any case, I absolutely love the beauty of nature now!”
Tang Shu and Ye Xiaohui said in unison, “Forget about adventuring, your frail fra isn’t cut out for it. The latter two are still viable options.”
