With Shen Mo’s help, Shen Jun successfully obtained Zhao Jiao’s permission to leave the capital.
Before entering the airport lobby, Shen Jun stole a quick glance at Shen Gang and Auntie Jiang. Finally, he turned to Mother Jiang and said, “Auntie Jiang, as a long-standing member of the Shen family, 1 want to share something with you beforehand. 1 have a strong aversion to those who claim loyalty to Cao Ying but are secretly aligned with Han.”
Strictly speaking, Auntie Jiang was in a relationship with Zhao Jiao, and Shen Jun had no intention of keeping a close watch on her, not even on his own mother.
Auntie Jiang was well aware that her role was a thankless one. Shen Jun was the sole heir of the Shen Group and would eventually become its future leader. In the grand scheme of things, she would undoubtedly align herself with Shen Jun. However, in the present circumstances, her own survival still depended on Zhao Jiao’s control.
Sighing, Auntie Jiang knew that she could only rely on her years of experience as a confidante and supporter to navigate the intricate challenges and survive in the midst of power struggles.
High salary! High challenge!
Auntie Jiang nodded timidly and replied, “Young Master, please don’t worry. Lately, I’ve been experiencing some signs of aging, and my senses aren’t as sharp as before. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.”
In the face of Auntie Jiang’s secret loyalty, Shen Jun nodded in satisfaction. “That’s fine. As long as you remain loyal to me, I’ll be particularly understanding. By the way, Auntie Jiang, please keep in mind your role here. Your primary responsibility is cleaning, not cooking.”
Auntie Jiang, who was good at cooking, didn’t quite understand, but it wasn’t important. She just did as she was told and replied loudly, “Okay, Young Master.”
Wen Nian was sent over by the production team’s driver. Shen Gang tactfully approached and offered assistance to Wen Nian with her luggage.
Wen Nian looked at Shen Jun in confusion as she noticed the sudden appearance of the two individuals.
Shen Jun provided Wen Nian with a brief introduction. Although Wen Nian was puzzled about why the Shen family would hire someone who lacked cooking skills to take care of Shen Jun, she refrained from asking such a question in front of Mrs. Jiang. It wouldn’t be appropriate and might give the impression that they looked down on Shen Jun for not being capable in all aspects. Regardless, they had already discussed the dinner matter beforehand.
After returning to Hai City, life resumed its normal course.
Wen Nian and Shen Jun’s simultaneous disappearances and appearances inevitably drew attention. Moreover, as adolescent students, their close proximity led others to assume they were a couple. The onlookers seemed to have an unspoken agreement about their relationship.
On the first day of school, Wen Nian prepared porridge and egg pancakes for Shen Jun. After their morning class, the two of them sat down to enjoy their breakfast together.
“Hello. I’m Jiang Chun, a transfer student this semester.”
A gentle female voice interrupted Wen Nian and Shen Jun’s conversation, causing them to look up in surprise. They noticed an unfamiliar face sitting in front of Wen Nian.
The girl had waist-length black hair that flowed down like a cascade of water. One side of her hair was casually tucked behind her ear, allowing the left side of her face to be seen, which appeared remarkably fair and radiant. Her eyes held a captivating expressiveness, and her petite oval-shaped face was adorned with a warm smile.
The combination of her facial features evoked the image of an ancient court lady, emanating a sense of grace, elegance, and a lack of aggressiveness. Her gentle demeanor made it effortless for people to form a favorable impression of her.
In her previous life, Wen Nian had already ventured into the entertainment industry by this time and was unaware of the presence of this transfer student. Hence, it was their first encounter. Smiling warmly, Wen Nian introduced herself, saying, “Hello, my name is Wen Nian.”
Shen Jun cast a brief glance at Jiang Chun and felt a sense of familiarity, yet he kept his response concise. “Shen Jun,” he stated simply.
Jiang Chun smiled and spoke, “1 heard that a classmate was taking a leave when school started. When 1 saw you today, I wanted to come over and introduce myself, so we won’t be strangers in the hallways. We’re sitting at the front and back tables. If you ever need any assistance in the future, we can support each other.”
Wen Nian nodded. Seeing this, Jiang Chun did not say anything else. After greeting him, she turned around.
Wen Nian looked at the other party’s back in a daze and retracted her gaze to continue eating breakfast.
Jiang Chun’s presence didn’t leave a lasting impression in Wen Nian and Shen Jun’s hearts.
After the afternoon class, as Wen Nian still had a few practice questions to complete, Shen Jun went to the guard’s office to retrieve his lunch box.
Jiang Ning walked straight into Class Two. “Chunchun, let’s go. 1’11 take you out to eat delicious food!”
Jiang Chun smiled and said gently, “There’s no need. I’m tired of eating outside food these days. I made some myself and brought it to school to eat today. Do you want to eat with me?”
Jiang Ning sat down on the empty seat beside Jiang Chun and said in admiration, “Chunchun, you’re too awesome. You’re beautiful, have a good personality, and know how to cook. Whoever can marry you is really lucky..”
