"Really?"
On the first day of school, Xia Sanghuan just learned about Xia Anying's situation from Fu Youqing.
Although they lived under the same roof, recently Xia Sanghuan had been engrossed in studying case reports and didn't even go out for meals. As a result, she simply had no chance to see Xia Anying.
There was one night when it seemed that Xia Anying knocked on her door and said something. But at that time, Xia Sanghuan was at a crucial point in her work and simply ignored her adoptive sister.
"I didn't expect Dad to even transfer her to another school and give her 20,000 yuan as monthly living expenses."
This adoptive sister of hers was two years older. When she was admitted to a third - tier university in the college entrance examination, Dad was so happy that he even held an entrance - banquet for her. Now she had directly entered a prestigious private school. It must have taken Dad a lot of effort.
She wondered if this sister would appreciate it.
Xia Sanghuan listened to her third sister chattering while her second sister, Fu Moning, was driving.
It was the first time that her two sisters were personally sending her to school for registration.
Previously, she always walked to school. Every time Dad wanted to send her, Xia Anying would come up with all kinds of excuses and even pretend to be sick.
This left Dad awkwardly smiling at her and saying he would definitely send her next time.
However, this "next time" never came.
In contrast to Xia Sanghuan being sent by two sisters, Xia Anying's situation was not bad either.
"Brother Ling Shi, thank you for coming to see me off."
Xia Anying pretended to be reserved as she thanked him, but her affected voice was not very pleasant to hear.
"En. Hurry up and get in the car."
If it weren't for his younger sister's text message, Fu Lingshi would have just sent a subordinate to do this. But since Huanhuan had asked him, as an elder brother, he couldn't refuse.
Fu Lingshi also knew that it was more appropriate for him to go in person. Since Xia Anying got in through the Fu family's connection, someone from the Fu family had to show up. It couldn't be his father, of course.
"Have you prepared everything? If you need anything, just call him."
As soon as Fu Lingshi finished speaking, the young driver quickly handed his business card to Xia Anying.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Ling Shi."
Xia Anying didn't feel Fu Lingshi's estrangement from her at all. Instead, she thought he was showing special concern for her.
Maybe it was possible for the three of them to be together in the future. On one side was the ascetic and handsome Leng Chuanjin, and on the other was the gentle Brother Fu Lingshi. She wanted both of them!
On the way, Xia Anying was immersed in her own beautiful dreams. It was not until the driver urged her that she came to her senses when they arrived at the school.
The magnificent school gate was filled with handsome boys, beautiful girls, and all kinds of luxury cars. Xia Anying couldn't take her eyes off them.
"You go and handle the enrollment procedures, then take the luggage to the dormitory. Wait for me at the gate when you're done."
"Yes."
The driver replied respectfully, nodded slightly, and then left.
"Brother Ling Shi, then shall we..."
"You come with me to the office. We'll meet the principal and your class advisor."
Fu Lingshi was eager to clarify the relationship implied by "we".
But this was completely misinterpreted by Xia Anying.
"Brother Ling Shi really likes me! Now he's taking me to meet the principal and the others. Isn't this like backing me up? He's announcing that I'm his, and the principal and the others will have to give me face."
In Xia Anying's eyes now, Fu Lingshi had become a lovesick second male lead who was determined to marry only her.
As for Xia Sanghuan, she had only gotten into Felston through connections. Although this school was ordinary, there seemed to be quite a few wealthy playboys. She had to make good use of these resources.
A bold plan was slowly taking shape in Xia Anying's mind.
...
"Sisters, you can stop here. I'll go and get familiar with the environment by myself."
"How can that be! We definitely have to get to know the place where Huanhuan will be living for the next four years!"
The problem was that these two sisters were too eye - catching and legendary. If they sent her into the school, it would surely cause quite a stir!
After much coaxing from Xia Sanghuan, the two sisters finally agreed. However, they still asked the driver to help carry the luggage to the dormitory while they waited in the car.
"Why doesn't Huanhuan want us to go with her?"
Fu Youqing looked like a pet that had been abandoned, pitifully watching Xia Sanghuan's departing back.
Fu Moning propped her head up with her hand and let out a breath. "The little girl has her own thoughts now."
...
"I only have this one suitcase. You can go back. My sisters must have put aside their work to see me off. You can take them back."
After the driver left, Xia Sanghuan slowly went to look for the principal's office.
While looking down for the recommendation letter, a suitcase suddenly bumped into Xia Sanghuan.
"Sorry, sorry!"
Xia Sanghuan's suitcase fell to one side.
A male voice came from above. Then, the person who had bumped into Xia Sanghuan helped her up.
"Sorry, classmate. The suitcase slipped out of my hand and rolled down the slope."
The man quickly explained and hesitated whether to reach out and pat the dust off the girl's clothes.
"It's okay."
Xia Sanghuan patted the dust off her own clothes and didn't really care.
"Are you also a freshman?"
The man helped the two suitcases up and handed one of them to Xia Sanghuan.
"Yeah."
After a perfunctory answer, the two parted ways.
After getting lost several times, Xia Sanghuan finally arrived at the door of the principal's office.
Actually, she could have saved this time. But she didn't want to explain to others why a freshman was going to the principal's office, so she decided to find her own way.
...
"Brother Ling Shi, are you going back?"
"If you need anything, just call the number on the business card. Study hard."
Fu Lingshi gave an official farewell and got in the car directly.
"Brother Ling Shi, can I have your contact information?"
Confident Xia Anying blocked the car door and shyly handed over her phone.
For Huanhuan's sake, he had to endure.
Fu Lingshi could only persuade himself like this.
If it were another woman being so infatuated, Fu Lingshi would have thrown her out long ago.
"It's not necessary. Just contact the person on the business card."
After saying that, he gave the driver a look. The car immediately drove off, and Xia Anying didn't even have time to say goodbye!
...
"Knock, knock!"
The door of the principal's office was made of European cypress wood, which really shocked Xia Sanghuan.
"Come in."
A deep and sonorous middle - aged male voice came from inside the door.
"Excuse me, Principal Li. My name is Xia Sanghuan. This is the recommendation letter from Vice - Dean Xiao."
Xia Sanghuan respectfully placed the recommendation letter on the mahogany desk.
The middle - aged man on the other side of the desk casually glanced at Xia Sanghuan from head to toe.
"You're still so young, but Old Xiao has praised you to the skies in the letter. I wonder if you can really live up to it, little girl."
"I'm very grateful for Vice - Dean Xiao's praise. I will work hard."
"Good!"
The calm and confident attitude of the little girl in front of him made Li Ran feel quite comfortable.
