This was the first time Shao Moli and Shao Wanwan had met since the rumors and the exam incident.

“During this time, they must have done a lot of bad things to you and implicated you. I’ve been wanting to find an opportunity to apologize to you. Fortunately, everything has been resolved,” Shao Wanwan said sincerely.

Shao Moli glanced up and quickly scanned Shao Wanwan, then lowered her head and stared at her plate.

Everything Shao Wanwan is doing now is hypocritical in her eyes.

Shao Moli even felt that Shao Wanwan had ruined her college life.

Despite her hard work in studying, all the spotlight still shone on Shao Wanwan.

With so many universities available, why does she insist on going to the same one as me? Why does she have to do this...?

I reported her for skipping class, but she didn't seem afraid at all. She actually took the exam for five hours and still looked so relaxed and at ease.

Looking at Shao Wanwan now, Shao Moli felt as if an apricot pit was stuck in her chest, making it hard for her to breathe and causing her great unease.

Based on her understanding of Shao Moli, it was impossible for a person to suddenly change so much.

Either he's faking it now, or he was faking it before.

If she's faking it now, then it's to get Jiang Zheyuan.

If she was faking it before, it was to steal all of her parents' attention.

No matter what, she succeeded. This world is so unfair.

Shao Moli took a bite of bean sprouts, but she couldn't swallow them no matter what.

Looking at the bland food on Shao Moli's plate, and seeing how thin and sunken her face was, as she had to study and work as a shop assistant in a clothing store, Shao Wanwan felt incredibly sad.

Shao Moli must be working herself to death trying to buy her grandmother a hearing aid.

However, if I get straight A's, plus the charity fund raised from the bullying incident, and the bonus points from the second prize at the welcome party, the scholarship will probably fall into my lap.

This will make it even more difficult for Shao Moli to raise the money.

Three thousand yuan might just be the cost of a few meals for Jiang Zheyuan, but for Shao Moli right now, it's an astronomical figure.

This world is so folded.

Shao Moli came to school and saw a bigger world, broadened her horizons, and finally discovered that she couldn't even afford her grandmother's hearing aid.

No wonder she worked so hard later on.

Shao Wanwan thought for a moment and said softly, "I remember that my grandmother's birthday is in the same month as mine. This year is her 70th birthday, right? I think we should make sure to celebrate it properly for her. What do you think?"

Because the original book is written from the perspective of Shao Moli.

Therefore, Shao Wanwan remembers Shao Moli's grandmother's birthday.

Shao Moli grew up relying on her maternal grandmother, who was the person she loved most in her heart.

She always had a regret: when her grandmother turned seventy, she didn't have the money or the ability to properly celebrate her birthday.

In rural areas, seventy years old is considered a very old age, and people would invite a drum and stilt walking troupe to perform and then hold an open-air banquet to entertain their fellow villagers.

However, with less than half a month until her grandmother's birthday, Zhang Suran, her own daughter, didn't mention it at all, as if she wanted to bury it.

In rural areas, such birthday banquets are usually profitable, but the sons usually organize them. Zhang Suran completely disregarded the fact that the elderly woman only had one daughter and showed no intention of helping with the arrangements.

This was also a knot in Shao Moli's heart, and it was the fuse that later caused her to have no mother-daughter affection for Zhang Suran at all.

This is a regret that Shao Moli could never make up for, no matter how much money she earned.

Jiang Zheyuan, who had been reborn, was very clear about this, but he was very surprised that Shao Wanwan would take the initiative to bring it up. She had no blood relation with Shao Moli's maternal grandmother, no debt of raising her, and no affection for her.

But she actually brought it up herself.

Shao Moli looked up in shock. "You remember Grandma's birthday?"

Shao Wanwan nodded, "It's not that I deliberately remembered it, it's just that my birthday is in the same month as mine, about half a month later, so it's easy to remember!"

Shao Moli was a little embarrassed. She had no idea that Shao Wanwan had a birthday. Now that she said that, it seemed that her birthday had already passed.

“I couldn’t convince my mom to go celebrate my grandma’s birthday. She… has never really cared about my grandma.”

What Shao Moli didn't fully explain was that I felt it was because of me that she disliked her grandmother as well.

But she didn't say it; her pride wouldn't allow her to say such weak words.

“Hey, she doesn’t care. Aren’t our two granddaughters all grown up? As long as we’ve taken care of everything, why would she be afraid of not trying to take credit? She’s just afraid of the trouble.”

Having read the original book, Shao Wanwan knew that her grandmother passed away at the age of seventy-nine.

He never actually celebrated his 80th birthday.

This was also a point that Shao Moli found difficult to accept.

She was already able to throw a big celebration for her grandmother at that time, but it was all too late.

Shao Wanwan felt that it was just a small act of kindness to make up for such a big regret in someone's life, and there was really no need to pretend not to know.

us?

What unfamiliar and incredible words.

But Shao Moli knew that this was not the time to be sentimental. If she held a banquet, she would have to repay the favors later, but she would definitely make a profit in the short term and be able to raise the money for her grandmother's hearing aid right away.

Shao Moli almost instinctively said, "Holding a birthday banquet will cost about two thousand yuan, and I'll need to take three or four days off to make the arrangements. Can you handle that?"

It seems that Shao Moli has already thought about holding a birthday banquet for her grandmother, but she doesn't have the time or money to do so.

"It's not difficult to ask for leave in college. We just said someone in our family was getting married and asked our advisor for leave. As for the money..."

Shao Wanwan turned to look at Jiang Zheyuan.

Jiang Zheyuan smiled slightly and said affectionately, "She is Wanwan's maternal grandmother, so naturally she is my maternal grandmother. I will definitely prepare a gift, and I will also cover the rest of the money. You can pay me back after you have received the gifts."

Shao Wanwan smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Now that the money issue is resolved, do you have any other questions?" Shao Wanwan asked with a smile.

Shao Moli felt a pang of jealousy, but she still felt it was wrong to borrow money from Jiang Zheyuan.

"Let me think about it some more."

Shao Wanwan looked at Shao Moli. Although she had lost weight from exhaustion, her eyes were still bright and she still looked beautiful.

“What are you thinking? It’s just a loan, not something we’re not going to pay back. We can keep the money from the wedding gift, and not only can we pay it back, but we can also scrape together enough money for Grandma’s hearing aid,” Shao Wanwan said firmly.

Shao Moli has now raised 1,000 yuan, which will be enough to cover the birthday banquet and the gift money.

This convinced her.

She hesitated for a moment, but then agreed.

"Thank you. I will repay what I owe you," Shao Moli said firmly.

Then Shao Moli looked at Jiang Zheyuan.

She admired Jiang Zheyuan, but at this moment, this feeling was even more unspeakable.

She glanced at it briefly, then lowered her head and said, "I'll definitely pay you back after the banquet."
