Chapter 551: Deliberately Scheming or Lacking Judgment (Part 1)

"Because my pastries are delicious! It’s your loss for not eating them that day!"

Shen Nian said with a smile as she looked at Chu Lingxiu.

Hearing Shen Nian’s words, Chu Lingxiu couldn’t help but recall what had happened that day. ’It was true that I didn’t eat the pastries Shen Nian made. In fact, I was even foolish enough to waste them.’

’But it seemed like everyone in her family had tried them. Even her picky grandfather had been holding a pastry at the time.’

’So Shen Nian’s words probably weren’t just a boastful joke, but the honest-to-god truth!’

’Looked at it that way, it seemed she really was the one who had lost out!’

’After all, she’d always loved treats like that!’

"Alright, it’s fine that you missed out. There’ll definitely be chances in the future!"

"Yeah, there’ll definitely be other chances!"

Chu Lingxiu nodded vigorously. She swore to herself that if another opportunity like this arose, she absolutely wouldn’t miss it or waste it again!

"What are these pastries you two are talking about?"

Qi Yunzhi asked, looking at Shen Nian and Chu Lingxiu.

After learning about the history between Shen Nian and Chu Lingxiu’s family, she wasn’t surprised that things had happened between them in the past.

However, hearing Shen Nian and Chu Lingxiu mention pastries still piqued her curiosity.

"It’s nothing much, I just made some pastries before."

"Xiao Nian, you know how to make pastries? When will we get a chance to try some?"

The way Qi Yunzhi looked at Shen Nian had transformed from simple interest into outright adoration.

’Just how incredible can one person be to know how to do everything?’

"You’ll get a chance. When I go home this weekend, if I have time, I’ll make extra to bring back for you to try."

"Awesome! What am I going to do? I’m already starting to get excited!"

"..."

Shen Nian shook her head, a helpless smile on her face. She hadn’t noticed it before, but now that she thought about it, she seemed to be surrounded by foodies!

From Lu Xinyue back home to the entire Chu Family, and now even her roommates at school were the same way.

Speaking of Lu Xinyue, however, made Shen Nian miss her family back home.

Although Shen Nian had been keeping an eye on the progress of the family farm and the clothing factory remotely, it just wasn’t the same as being there.

「Soon, the weekend arrived, and it was time for Shen Nian to visit the Chu Family.」

Because she was returning to the Chu Family’s home, and Chu Yunze was coming to pick them up, Chu Lingxiu was naturally going back with Shen Nian.

Although Qi Yunzhi was curious about the Chu Family’s banquet, her social standing didn’t qualify her for an invitation.

She wasn’t close enough to Chu Lingxiu and Shen Nian to feel comfortable asking them to take her along. So, she simply asked the two of them to tell her all about it afterward and then headed home herself.

Wang Chunhua, on the other hand, wasn’t a local, so she was staying at the school for the weekend.

However, many students like Wang Chunhua stayed at the school on weekends, so Shen Nian and Chu Lingxiu weren’t too worried.

Just as Shen Nian and Chu Lingxiu finished packing their things and stepped out of the dormitory, they saw Gu Shuxin walking toward them.

"Lingxiu, are you heading home? Let’s go together!"

Gu Shuxin walked up to Shen Nian and Chu Lingxiu. Although she saw Shen Nian, she only spoke to Chu Lingxiu, as if she hadn’t seen Shen Nian standing right beside her at all.
