Chapter 284: Chapter 284 Two Brushes_1 Chapter 284: Chapter 284 Two Brushes_1 “This is quick. It seems Lawyer Chen still has some tricks up his sleeve.” Leng Rui’s demeanor was somewhat indifferent.
“Just got home! And he even brought back a strange girl, who looked about the same age as Miss Sha Sha. I heard from the He Family’s servants that she is President He’s daughter, raised outside the home since she was a child.”
Secretary Zhang answered cautiously, afraid of upsetting his boss. After all, the boss’s sister was the deceased ex-wife of He Rongxi. Judging by the age of this daughter, it seemed that He Rongxi had been unfaithful and betrayed the boss’s sister.
The eyes hidden behind Leng Rui’s glasses were as sharp as knives, he snorted coldly, “She’s older than Sha Sha.”
“Then… then…” Secretary Zhang was shocked by his boss’s words, and it took him a while to complete his sentence. “What should we do next?”
Leng Rui displayed a stern smile, “Of course we must first congratulate He Rongxi, congratulate him on his newfound daughter.”
“Boss, you are brilliant,” Secretary Zhang praised him with utmost respect.
“You can leave work now!”
“Yes! Thank you, boss.”
Meanwhile, Nan Fei’s home was a picture of happiness. Zhang Fengmei and Jiang Dechun were eagerly waiting for their daughter’s return! They had already bought ribs and pig’s trotters from the farmers market beforehand. They didn’t sell the eggs their hens lay, unlike usual when they would bring them to the market.
They kept everything at home.
Over time, they had saved dozens of eggs.
It was just the right time to make dinner. Zhang Fengmei started cooking, and Nan Fei and Zhuanzhuan helped as assistants.
People in the countryside still used traditional stoves. Although it was a bit more troublesome, the food it produced tasted incredibly delicious. This taste was something Nan Fei missed deeply from her previous life.
Even though they were so poor that they couldn’t afford to eat eggs, Nan Fei felt happy simply by pickling vegetables for meals.
“Zhuanzhuan, how do you feel about moving up to the first year of high school? Is there a lot of homework?” As Nan Fei added firewood to the stove, she asked Zhuanzhuan, who was helping with the vegetables.
Hearing her sister’s words, Zhuanzhuan shyly laughed and shook her head, “Not much! Most of the times, I finish it at school.”
Nan Fei felt a pang of envy, “Actually, your academic performance is much better than mine! I should really learn from you.”
“By the way, sis, I have asked for half a month’s leave for you since you came back early. Are you going to school?”
Nan Fei hadn’t been to school for more than a decade. Although she could remember all the questions from the university entrance exams, that was only because she regretted not being able to go to university in her previous life.
She had forgotten much of what she had learned in high school. She wouldn’t be able to maintain her top three ranking from her previous life.
She might even end up embarrassing herself as her grades plummeted!
Thinking about that gives her a headache!
She rubbed her temples, looking troubled, “My memory has been poor recently. I seem to have trouble remembering things after falling into the water. I guess my grades will be terrible when school starts.”
This was the most cliche excuse she could think of. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to explain her sudden drop in mock exam results at school.
Zhuanzhuan looked surprised but comforted her, “It’s okay, sis. You are very smart, and you will catch up with the curriculum soon!”
As they were talking, Jiang Yang, who had been playing in the yard, came over slowly to Nan Fei, holding a third-year physics textbook in his hand, and stretched it out to her.
