On the afternoon of September 30th, considering that the National Day holiday was just around the corner, the school did not schedule any classes that afternoon, so that students could plan their schedules in advance.
Since it was just a short vacation, Tang Ruixuan didn't bring much luggage. Besides, with courier companies like Times Express springing up like mushrooms after rain, it's the most worry-free way to ship large luggage via courier.
She walked alone to the school gate with her small canvas backpack. She had told her uncle that she would walk a bit first and then get on the bus at the next intersection to avoid being seen by her classmates.
As soon as Tang Ruixuan stepped out of the school gate, someone called out to her from not far away.
Turning her head toward the sound, she saw Li Wenbo, the president of the college's student union, walking toward her.
"Hello, senior!" Tang Ruixuan responded politely.
Li Wenbo pointed to a Mercedes-Maybach parked opposite the school gate: "Tang Ruixuan, are you going to the train station? I can take you there first."
Tang Ruixuan held onto the backpack straps with both hands and politely declined Li Wenbo's offer.
"No, I can easily take a taxi. Have a great holiday, senior!"
After saying that, Tang Ruixuan waved to Li Wenbo and walked in the opposite direction, her ponytail swaying back and forth with her steps.
Just then, the rear window of the Maybach across the street rolled down, and the woman inside called out to Li Wenbo, "Wenbo, hurry up, we can't park here for long."
Li Wenbo had no choice but to give up the idea of chasing after Tang Ruixuan and ran towards the Maybach.
After getting on the bus, his mother, Fang Linghua, asked him, "Who was that girl you were talking to just now?"
Li Wenbo responded vaguely, "This year's freshman in our college has excellent academic performance, and our student union plans to recruit her."
Upon hearing this, Fang Linghua immediately became interested. The reason was simple: those who could get into Jin University must be the elite of the elite, and she had just glanced at the girl from afar and thought she was quite pretty.
"What's the girl's name? Where does she live? What do her parents do?"
"Mom, she and I are just ordinary classmates, don't get the wrong idea." Li Wenbo understood his mother's thoughts. As a junior in college, he was more mature than his peers, so dealing with his mother was naturally a piece of cake.
Fang Linghua glanced at her son and smiled meaningfully: "Hehe!"
Li Wenbo had already used his position as student council president to learn more about Tang Ruixuan. Tang Ruixuan was from Shanghai, her father owned a restaurant, and her mother was a finance officer in a public institution in Shanghai. In other words, her family was relatively ordinary. Of course, this was in comparison to their family. For others, such a family would be quite well-off.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Li Wenbo: Tang Ruixuan's every move and gesture seemed unlike those of an ordinary child, which made him even more interested in her.
After Tang Ruixuan reached the intersection, she turned left onto another road. After walking about twenty or thirty meters, four identical black Escalades were parked on the side of the road. As she approached, a person got out of one of the Escalades and opened the car door for her.
"Thank you!" Tang Ruixuan expressed her gratitude.
Li Huan smiled and nodded. After Tang Ruixuan got into the car, he helped her close the door and then got in himself. The convoy started and headed east.
"Uncle!" After getting into the car, Tang Ruixuan took off her backpack and greeted her uncle.
Huang Xiaochuan put down a journal he was holding and asked with a smile, "You guys put it down pretty early!"
"Our school is quite humane." The little girl had already integrated into her school and looked proud of it.
The uncle and nephew exchanged questions and answers, and the convoy quickly entered the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway. The journey between Shanghai and Nanjing takes just over an hour, and at 4:30 p.m., the uncle and nephew arrived at Tang Ruixuan's maternal grandparents' house.
"Great-grandmother, grandpa and grandma!" As soon as she entered the house, Tang Ruixuan was busy greeting the elders.
Huang Xiaochuan then asked his grandmother with a smile, "Grandma, why didn't you go play mahjong today?"
"I've already played, and I even won quite a bit of money!" the grandmother said, showing her grandson the money she had won that day.
What the old lady didn't know was that her grandson had already bribed her mahjong partners. It wasn't that they would lose every game, but they would definitely lose to her seven or eight times out of ten games, all to make the old lady happy.
Of course, Grandma's card-playing partners were also happy. They had a fixed income every month, and the money they lost was Huang Xiaochuan's, while the money they won was theirs. This was a win-win situation.
"Hey, the person who wins the money has to treat everyone, you should know that, right?" Huang Xiaochuan seized the opportunity to make a fuss.
Just then, Tang Ruixuan, who had just been affectionate with her grandparents, arrived: "Grandma, you won money again?" Tang Ruixuan was definitely an excellent straight man. She had been exposed to this trick since she was a child and had long since learned it: to make the old lady happy.
Soon it was time to leave work, and Zeng Hong and Tang Jianhua arrived here less than five minutes apart.
"Mom, you're back!" Tang Ruixuan greeted her elderly mother at the door.
Zeng Hong hadn't seen her daughter for over a month and was overjoyed, but she still maintained her composure, casually handing her handbag to Tang Ruixuan and busying herself with changing her shoes.
After she changed her shoes, Tang Ruixuan hugged her and asked affectionately, "Mom, did you miss me?"
Zeng Hong retorted stubbornly, "I don't want to. What's there to want? When you were at home, you were like a debt collector, wishing you were as far away from me as possible, and preferably never coming back."
"Hahaha!" Tang Ruixuan didn't believe her mother's words at all. She called her mother at least five or six times a day, worried that she was hungry or hot. She even said she didn't miss her. Pshaw!
A few minutes later, Tang Jianhua also returned. He rarely came back this early, because after the company's workday ended, he had to go to the store to check the situation on-site and see which dish was left the most. If there was a lot of leftovers, it was either because the order of serving the dishes was wrong or the dishes did not suit the customers' tastes, so he had to summarize and make improvements.
If the order is wrong, adjust it; if a dish is not done well, immediately convene the head chef and the head chefs of each store to make improvements. It is because of this that Hua Hong Yan (which has been renamed) has been able to develop to its current scale.
"Dad!" Tang Ruixuan went to greet her father warmly.
"Oh my, my little girl is back! Good, good, you haven't lost weight!" Tang Jianhua held his daughter's hand, looking her over carefully. His daughter was away at university, and he was one of the people he worried about the most.
Tang Jianhua was not as good as Zeng Hong. He didn't pretend to be reserved in front of his daughter. When he saw his little darling come back, you could tell from his expression that he was extremely happy. Seeing the father and daughter being so affectionate, Zeng Hong felt a little sore. The old saying was absolutely true: daughters are closer to their fathers, and sons are closer to their mothers.
