Shao Wanwan knew all too well what Zhang Suran was like because she had read the book.

She's always trying to take advantage of others; when interacting with people, she's always thinking about getting something for herself, otherwise she doesn't feel at ease.

In addition, she favored Shao Pei and devoted herself entirely to her son.

They wished all the good things would fall into Shao Pei's lap, thinking that their youngest son was worthy of any celestial beauty, and that the woman should be paying him with her dowry.

To say they're extremely malicious wouldn't be an exaggeration; as long as they stay far away, nothing untoward will happen.

Now that Shao Pei, this major threat, has been dealt with, Zhang Suran can't really cause any trouble.

Shao Wanwan knew that no matter how harsh Zhang Suran's words were, it didn't matter. As long as Shao Pei was kept in check, the Shao family would have peace. Even if something happened, the fire wouldn't affect her and Shao Moli, two innocent people.

If Shao Pei gets back on track and realizes how comfortable it is to live a peaceful life, he will naturally go back and ask Zhang Suran to stop causing trouble.

Shao Moli knew that she could empathize with Zhang Suran, but Shao Pei definitely wouldn't; he lived only for himself.

During the meal, Shao Moli was repeatedly worried that Shao Wanwan would lose her temper, but Shao Wanwan ate quietly the whole time, letting Zhang Suran order a lot of dishes.

She didn't show any disgust when Zhang Suran bragged and talked nonsense to Jiang Zheyuan during the meal. She remained very calm and even chimed in with a few words when she saw Zhang Suran getting into the mood.

Shao Pei, who usually speaks without thinking, was unusually quiet today. Although he couldn't bring himself to flatter Jiang Zheyuan, he didn't say a word and kept his head down while eating.

Everyone had their own thoughts during the meal, and it's estimated that apart from Zhang Suran and Shao Wanwan, no one enjoyed it.

Shao Moli, in particular, was too embarrassed to touch her chopsticks.

Zhang Suran happily packed four lunchboxes of untouched food, then took some local specialties that Jiang Zheyuan had bought and boarded the bus back to Daxing City.

After seeing Zhang Suran off, Shao Moli secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, things didn't get out of control, otherwise she would have felt utterly ashamed.

After seeing Zhang Suran off, the group took Shao Pei to complete the training procedures.

After all, Jiang Zheyuan and Shao Wanwan wouldn't feel at ease until Shao Pei was properly settled.

Shao Moli is Shao Pei's older sister, so there's no reason for her not to go.

When it came time to assign seats, Shao Moli and Shao Pei sat in the back row, while Shao Wanwan hesitated for a moment before sitting in the front passenger seat.

Older cars generally have very cramped interior spaces.

The passenger seat is very close to the driver's seat; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you can hear each other's breathing.

When Jiang Zheyuan shifts gears, he might brush against the hem of her skirt.

Therefore, Shao Wanwan tries to avoid sitting in the front passenger seat.

However, not wanting to squeeze into the back with Shao Pei and Shao Moli, Shao Wanwan decisively sat in the passenger seat.

Shao Moli had reserved all the seats for Shao Wanwan, but seeing her sit in the passenger seat without saying a word, she was actually a little disappointed.

Jiang Zheyuan started the car and said to Shao Wanwan naturally, "The housekeeper at home has already brewed the Chinese medicine and sent it to the gatekeeper. We can pick it up when we get back. You must not be afraid of the bitterness and refuse to drink it."

After speaking, he took a packet of loquat candy from the gap in the center console and handed it to Shao Wanwan.

"After you finish drinking, take one of these and it won't be bitter."

These are all very natural actions between a young couple, and in fact, given the relationship between Jiang Zheyuan and Shao Wanwan, they are perfectly normal.

However, both Shao Pei and Shao Moli were getting restless.

They all looked out the window, pretending they weren't even in the car.

Shao Wanwan knew that Jiang Zheyuan wasn't the type to flaunt his relationship; he was just thinking about these things.

Perhaps it was because Zhang Suran kept talking that he wanted to give her some instructions, but he never found the opportunity.

Speaking of which, ever since Jiang Zheyuan became her creditor, Shao Wanwan's feelings for him have become somewhat complicated.

I always felt that being too close wouldn't work, and being too far away wouldn't work either.

If they're far away, it's like they're running away; if they're close, it's like they don't want to pay back the money.

But 72,000 is indeed not a small amount. If she were to rent out that house, not only would it be impossible to find a tenant, but she also really couldn't bear to part with it.

The house has everything you need, and it's much more comfortable and convenient to live in than in a dormitory.

However, the school is strict. After compiling the list of students who live on campus at the beginning of the semester, students have to wait until the next semester to apply to their counselor to commute to school before the application can be resubmitted.

The key issue is that the school's principles simply do not allow students to commute from school.

Taking weekend leave to go home is possible.

Having a house that generates almost no economic value and can only wait for demolition compensation is of no help in alleviating her current economic crisis.

In addition to Shao Pei's matter, Shao Wanwan felt that she really owed Jiang Zheyuan a huge favor.

I really don't know how to repay this favor.

Sigh... I feel pretty frustrated.

She glanced at the rearview mirror and looked at Shao Pei and Shao Moli, who were sitting in the back row, ignoring each other.

It feels like the entanglements that should have been avoided are instead like a ball of yarn, getting tighter and tighter, more and more tangled.

Fortunately, the story of Shao Pei is indeed different from what is written in the book.

She could only slowly change the fate of those around her, so that she wouldn't become like the original owner of the character in the book.

Shao Wanwan tore open a piece of candy and put it in her mouth.

A refreshing sweetness instantly melted in my mouth, a taste completely unlike the transparent fruit candies commonly found nowadays.

Moreover, this sweetness has a pleasant aftertaste and isn't cloyingly sweet; it feels like it's made with pure fruit juice or something similar.

Looking down, I realized it was specially supplied candy.

Jiang Zheyuan actually managed to get some special candy from his grandfather, which was only given out once a year, for her to eat.

Putting aside the fact that this candy is a symbol of status and a gift that only those who have made outstanding contributions to the country can receive, the price of the candy itself is also quite high.

Jiang Zheyuan handed it to her so fresh and clean.

She ate it so fresh and delicious.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of unease, as if swallowing it was wrong, and spitting it out was also wrong.

What does it mean if I feel a bit choked?

The key point is that Jiang Zheyuan's nonchalant attitude made Shao Wanwan feel that something was wrong.

Even though she had never been in a relationship before transmigrating into the book, she knew that relying on someone could be addictive, especially someone as kind to her as Jiang Zheyuan, who was so gentle and subtle.

Shao Wanwan has never met anyone who is kind to someone without expecting anything in return, simply wishing them well.

Shao Wanwan knew that if she continued to indulge in this, she would probably lose control of the situation.

She straightened up, then moved closer to the car window, looking at the street scene outside, and stopped talking.

Jiang Zheyuan saw that she had put on a defensive stance again, his heart sank, and he stopped talking and focused on driving.

It took Jiang Zheyuan about an hour to drive to his uncle's company.

Looking at the company mentioned briefly in the book, which seemed to come alive before her eyes, Shao Wanwan couldn't help but marvel at the Jiang family's amazing business acumen.

The most important thing in making money is information asymmetry.

While everyone else was still unaware of what security guards and bodyguards were, Jiang Zheyuan's uncle had already sensed a business opportunity and made preparations in advance.

Thinking about how this unassuming little building would eventually become a skyscraper, and then change hands again when her uncle ran into trouble, Shao Wanwan felt a pang of sadness.

The economy is booming right now, so everything around us is full of vitality and resilience.

Jiang Zheyuan had only visited his uncle's company once, and the etiquette team arranged by his uncle was already standing at the door to welcome him.

The men and women in uniforms bowed in unison, exuding an air of nouveau riche.

A simple "Hello, Mr. Jiang" almost made Shao Wanwan burst into laughter.

However, Shao Pei looked on with longing. Shao Moli had never seen such a world before, so she followed behind Shao Wanwan cautiously, trying her best not to show any fear.

Jiang Zheyuan's uncle was particularly fond of ostentation, as the original author wrote in the book.

But this ostentatious display really has the style of this era, exuding a nouveau riche vibe.

But honestly, I'm sure a lot of people will buy it.

Sometimes people just enjoy the feeling of being pampered and pampered.

You can feel the strength and dedication of the company's owner.

The uncle's secretary, dressed in a white padded-shoulder suit, holding a blue folder and a black calculator, stood at the conference room door and reported to Jiang Zheyuan that President Jiang was in a meeting and asked them to wait in the tea room.

This is a great opportunity to broaden your horizons.

In fact, compared to the later sprawling skyscrapers and the spectacular sight of various office buildings springing up, Uncle Jiang Zheyuan's company, in terms of both decoration and layout, bears a very strong imprint of the times.
