In her past life, Qin Jiao had also faced hardship. After being expelled from school, her reputation in the village plumted, and life beca so difficult that she ultimately had no choice but to marry Shen Yi.
But in this life, Qin Jiao was so exceptional that she didn’t need to rely on marriage to solve her problems.
Shen Yi lowered his gaze and said softly, "If I’m going to get married, I’ll only marry Jiao Jiao. But she probably doesn’t want to get married right now."
"This whole thing... it’s a bit tricky. Let’s wait until we get to North City and give it so serious thought," Du Liya said, vexed. "Either way, I refuse to let Shen Zhengfeng get what he wants!"
Shen Yi grunted in acknowledgnt, but what he was really thinking was, ’If I can just tie her to my side, even under so other pretext, that would be for the best. That way, I can make sure no other man swoops in and steals Jiao Jiao away during college!’
What Shen Yi didn’t know was that at this very mont, on a long-distance train, Qin Jiao was making instant noodles with Xiao Shi when she looked up and saw Chen Feng.
It turned out that Chen Feng and his mother, Li Xiaoi, were also on this train to North City. They had already mailed their belongings ahead of ti; the mother and son were traveling by train to rendezvous with Shen Zhengfeng.
Shen Zhengfeng was finally ready to introduce the mother and son to his family, mainly because Chen Feng had made him proud by getting into a university in North City. The mbers of the Shen Family were all business-minded; they had never actually had a college student among them.
Shen Zhengfeng had one younger brother and one younger sister. His sister, Shen Xiaoya, had been living with the family since her divorce. His brother, Shen Zhenshan, was a manager at a paint factory, but his wife was trying to divorce him because he was infertile.
The Shen Family didn’t have many descendants, and with Chen Feng being so exceptional, they would probably accept him and Li Xiaoi quite easily.
Therefore, Li Xiaoi had been in high spirits for the past few days. She was about to beco a wealthy man’s wife, fulfilling a dream she had held for years. As a result, she found everything she looked at to be pleasant.
Chen Feng, however, had grown increasingly silent and lancholic. The mont he saw Qin Jiao, his eyes lit up.
"Qin Jiao, what a coincidence. Are you going to North City too?"
"Yes."
"We’ll both be studying in North City from now on. Qin Jiao, can I co and see you?"
Qin Jiao was in the middle of making instant noodles in her al container. When she heard Chen Feng’s question, she looked at him with so surprise.
Chen Feng’s gaze was resolute, indicating that his words were not a joke.
Qin Jiao had actually held a decent impression of Chen Feng before, but ever since he got together with Lin Nian, she knew she was destined never to be friends with him.
Besides, even though Lin Nian was in prison, she would absolutely never let go of Chen Feng.
After all, Chen Feng was her golden ticket, her cash cow.
Qin Jiao offered a polite smile and said, "We’ll see. I don’t know how busy I’ll be with my studies, and I’ll also have to help my parents open their store."
After she finished speaking, Qin Jiao led her sister Xiao Shi away from the water room. Chen Feng remained where he was, a flicker of movent in his brow.
’Qin Jiao’s family is moving to North City too? That’s fantastic!’
Qin Jiao’s family had bought four sleeper car tickets. Her parents had the lower bunks, while Xiao Shi and Qin Jiao had the middle and upper ones. When they returned to their compartnt, however, they discovered that the occupants of the middle and upper bunks across from them had switched. In their place were now Chen Feng and his mother, Li Xiaoi.
Qin Zhonghui and Qin Jiao had once accompanied Du Liya to Li Xiaoi’s house to catch the cheating couple. Who could have imagined they’d run into each other, even on a train this large?
Qin Jiao couldn’t help but recall what Lin Nian had once said: that she and Chen Feng were the male and female leads of the original novel, and thus were always fated to have chance encounters.
’In that case, this "fate" of theirs was really quite irritating.’
