Jun Corporations
Jun Zixuan was busy signing some proposals when Gu Chen knocked on the door.
" Sir Madam has called to invite you for dinner in the mansion. She also added that she wants you to stay over this weekend ".
Jun Zixuan already knew what his mother is planning, she obviously wants him to meet Xin Xiulin.
When he was 5, Xin Xiulin was born. He thought to himself that his mom's obsession with having a daughter would be done with it. His mom was sure that Jun Bohai would be a girl but unfortunately, he wasn't and she was devastated about that to the point of thinking to divorce Jun Xian.
The Jun's didn't have girl children for a very long time and Yang Shi was even more devastated. And she didn't talk to Jun Xian for a month because he hid it from her.
But when she got to know that her best friend has a daughter, she wanted her daughter to be her daughter-in-law.
Even though Old man Jun and Old madam Jun were not really with the plan in the start. They fell in love with her and they wanted her to be engaged with him which felt too bizarre to this day.
But then thought they would give Xiulin a chance to decide, but not to him. His father never had a say in this not that he didn't like her either, he adored Xiulin. That's one of the reasons why he avoids Xiulin at all costs. He only met her thrice till now.
He loved someone else and he doesn't think he'll ever get over her. But he did want to meet this new Xiulin who has charmed his family all over again.
Beacon high school
Ever since Shen Lihua got to know the real relationship between Bohai and Xiulin, she was feeling guilty. One of the main reasons why Xiulin's classmates were hostile to her was because of her. She was impulsive.
She thought it was better to tell Xiulin the truth, even though it would meant losing her friendship. Xiulin has been talking to them ever since they had dinner at the mall. She even invited them to watch the movie with them that day.
She also realized that she has never seen Jun Bohai that open with someone he wasn't like that to his Han Feng and Lu Jin. She got the petty side out of him.
Then she looked over towards them, Xiulin was helping him do sums while he was intently listening to her. Xiulin was already very hungry when the lunch hour came. Jun Bohai went in before to save a seat because she had to go to the washroom.
She already got used to the school campus.
She was washing her hands when Shen Lihua entered," Hey Xiulin, Do you have a minute?" she asked.
" Yeah, is everything okay?".
" I wanted to apologize about my hostility to you," she said in a go.
While Xin Xiulin was surprised, she didn't think she would be that honest.
" Oh, it's okay?" What else can she expect her to say.
" You knew it?" Shen Lihua asked even though it was very obvious now.
" Obviously" Xiulin commented.
" And it didn't bother you?" She asked.
" It did in the start but then, I realized I didn't do anything so what's there to bother?".
Shen Lihua understood what she meant, but she expected her to be more angry or screaming, but Xiulin did not show any of those reactions. She was as calm as she usually is. " I should get going Bohai is waiting for me, You coming?"
"Yeah" she stuttered.
After they had their lunch, then they had a few classes again and they went back to the ancestral home.
"It looks like a brother is home," Jun Bohai said, looking at the black Koenigsegg outside the mansion when they were entering. Xin Xiulin didn't really meet him much, so she did not have any specific opinion on him. When she entered inside she could see a new person sitting with Jun Xian and Old Jun. She didn't know why, but she felt she saw this person somewhere before and it's definitely not from the original Xiulin's memories but her own memories. She felt it would be better to be careful around this man he is no simple person.
"Xiulin, come greet Zixuan" Yang Shi called out.
" Hello big brother Zixuan," she said bowing. Slowly peeking the view of the man whose peach blossom eyes were already on her so she immediately looked at the ground which looked very interesting.
Then she went and sat with Bohai.
" How are you doing now?" the deep icy voice asked. She felt like she might get frostbite at this rate.
" I'm good. How about you? " She asked back politely.
" I'm okay" he replied and averted his eyes from her to Bohai.
" Where are you planning to go to college? " He asked Bohai but he was also looking at her making to obvious that he is asking both of them.
"I wanna go to Imperial college" Jun Bohai replied.
Everyone in the living room turned their eyes to her expecting an answer from her while she was seriously thinking about the pros and cons.
She wanted to go back and experience life in her old university, but wouldn't that be boring for her to go alone but if she went with Bohai. She will have a friend with her. "Same" she commented while Yang Shi's eyes lit up.
Imperial College was the most top college in China it was never easy to get in there. But Xiulin felt it was a Child's play if she excluded her Chinese skills which were obviously important here. While Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow, he has gone through Xin Xiulin's report card before even though it was okay, it wasn't good to get into Imperial college only the best of the best we're able to get there.
So he looked at both of them, especially Xiulin. "You both will be coming to my office tomorrow. I'll be taking classes for both of you from now on".
