Chapter 668: So pretty she’s unrecognizable.
After dinner, He Nan directly took the two to the hotel. Cheng Xining was reluctant to leave, but under the intense and coercive gaze of He Nan and Ruan Yiqian, she still had to go to the hotel.
The two stayed at the hotel for one night, and after having breakfast the next day, they left Licheng.
Before leaving, Cheng Xining was tearfully upset, incredibly sad, and didn’t forget to warn Shen Mianmian not to pester He Nan, which left Shen Mianmian somewhat caught between laughter and tears.
Before you knew it, it was the eighth day of the lunar new year. The Li Family came back from Beijing, and Li Shiping returned with them. After a period of recuperation, Li Shiping had regained her former status as Miss Li—clean and beautiful, dignified and noble.
Shen Mianmian and He Nan went to the Li Family for a meal, as a way of celebrating the New Year. Since school hadn’t started, Shen Mianmian had free time, and Li Julin was also available, so he took the opportunity to tutor Shen Mianmian.
According to him, after a maximum of two years of hard work and once admitted to Beijing University, she wouldn’t have to work so hard anymore.
Two years of hard work for a lifetime of change—it was worth it. They had to seize these two years and not waste them.
Shen Mianmian’s love for learning and her cleverness also pleased Li Julin. Thus, they kept studying until the Lantern Festival when everyone gathered together again for a lively celebration.
On the sixteenth day of the first month, Shen Mianmian’s vegetable store reopened. To her delight, the business was as good as ever. With some savings, Shen Mianmian began to pay attention to the houses around her.
She planned to use the money she had to buy a house in Licheng, but unfortunately, there weren’t many developers around and no commercial housing available for sale. Also, those old residential houses were rarely sold.
