Chapter 284: Chapter 284: She is the Last to Know Chapter 284: Chapter 284: She is the Last to Know I thought getting even three to five thousand would be nice, but I didn’t expect my mom to be so generous.
And with the tuition fees before, my parents just paid them as soon as they were asked. Now, as soon as I said I wanted to go on a graduation trip, my mom didn’t even ask questions and just gave me a bank card.
Could it be that I’m actually a hidden rich second generation?
Zhaozhao’s mother cast a sidelong glance at her and said, “What are you thinking about? Your dad and I are just two ordinary workers, we don’t have any way to make a lot of money.”
“So how much money does our family actually have?” Shen Zhaozhao asked curiously.
“What’s with all the nosy questions, kid? Whatever money there is, it’s earned by your dad and me, so don’t you go getting any ideas,” Zhaozhao’s mother dismissed her offhandedly.
“Your daughter is about to become a student of Jing University, and after she graduates, she’ll be able to earn a lot and lots of money.” She was purely curious and had no intention of dwelling on it.
“We’ll talk about it when you’ve earned money,” Zhaozhao’s mother said with a glance, clearly not holding much hope for the lots and lots of money she mentioned.
The celebration for the academic advancement arrived quickly.
Seven aunts and eight aunties gathered together.
As the main character, Shen Zhaozhao was surrounded by everyone.
“Zhaozhao, our family has only produced one Jing University student, you have to teach the younger brothers and sisters well, share your experience with them.”
“Yeah, your cousin is about to take the college entrance exam, could you take him in and tutor him a bit?”
“Zhaozhao, your little niece is quite smart, you should give her some guidance, so she can grow up and take good care of you.”
Shen Zhaozhao looked at her little niece, who was only as tall as her knee and still in diapers, and decisively slipped away.
After leaving home, Shen Zhaozhao sat bored on the steps at the entrance of the residential area.
She saw a taxi pull up right in front of her.
The back door of the car opened, and a pair of long legs stepped out.
Shen Zhaozhao lifted her head and couldn’t help but light up at the sight of the face before her, “Yiyi, how come you’re back?”
Sheng Chuyi reached out his hand toward her.
Shen Zhaozhao immediately grasped his hand and stood up, patting the dust off her pants, “Did you come back specially to see me?”
“Sort of,” Sheng Chuyi said.
Shen Zhaozhao blinked suspiciously.
What does ‘sort of’ mean?
But that’s not the point.
Shen Zhaozhao, beaming with joy, held his hand and said, “My parents are hosting a celebration for my school advancement today, why don’t you join us?”
“Sure!” Sheng Chuyi nodded.
“I know where it is; let’s go first, without waiting for them,” Zhaozhao, frightened by the thought of the seven aunts and eight aunties at home, simply called a taxi and went to the hotel with Sheng Chu before everyone else.
As soon as they got out of the taxi, they saw a photo hanging at the hotel entrance.
Shen Zhaozhao almost choked on her own saliva.
She stared wide-eyed in shock, turned to Sheng Chuyi beside her, and asked, “What’s going on?”
She saw that their photo was enlarged and displayed at the hotel entrance, and even their names were written together, making it look to the uninformed like an engagement party for the two of them.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, he too was speechless.
Beyond their photos, she also saw Aunt Suxin standing at the entrance.
As soon as the latter saw her, she immediately greeted her with a smile, “Zhaozhao, come and see, how do you like the photo I chose for you two?”
Only then did Shen Zhaozhao realize, this academic advancement celebration was actually being held by both families together.
And as one of the main characters, not a single person had told her…
