Chapter 1023: Never even considered it

After hanging up the phone, the old lady slapped the phone on the table. For once, she gave her grandson a cold face, glaring at Shen Taotao with dissatisfaction: "Grandma really spoiled you for nothing!"

Shen Tao took the phone. Knowing that saying too much would lead to mistakes, he didn't pick up the topic and only asked: "What did my sister say to you?"

"She said she would bring your Sister Sister Xiao Min home to see me!" The old lady stared at Shen Taotao and asked: "Tell Grandma honestly, is your Sister Sister Xiao Min here? How, how did she get into university?"

Shen Tao was naturally in a difficult position. He couldn't lie in the first place, let alone make up stories.

"Oh, Grandma, you're asking me these questions? How would I know." Shen Taotao looked left and right, whispering: "I hadn't even taken the college entrance exam when Sister Sister Xiao Min ran away from home. How would I know what happened to her later."

"My sister told you to go back and wait, so just go back and wait. All these classmates are watching, it's not very good."

Hearing this, the old lady looked around, and sure enough, many people were looking at her. Thinking of what A-Ci said on the phone about not affecting Shen Taotao, she didn't dare to stay any longer.

Calming down, the old lady's tone softened: "Grandma is leaving. I just came to see you."

Shen Taotao nodded: "I know. I'm doing great, Grandma. This university is also very good. Don't worry about me. I'll go back to my hometown to see you during the New Year."

The old lady looked at the claypot rice and spicy hot pot in front of Shen Taotao. She knew that the spicy hot pot definitely wasn't her grandson's, so she instructed: "If one serving isn't enough, buy two. Don't go hungry, and don't be reluctant to spend money."

Shen Taotao nodded again.

The old lady stood up, withdrew her gaze reluctantly, and waved her hand: "Then you eat, Grandma is leaving."

Only then did Shen Taotao come to his senses and quickly stood up: "Grandma, I'll see you off."

At the school gate, Shen Xing happened to run into the old lady coming out from inside.

"Brother."

Shen Taotao saw Shen Xing and called out, signaling to Shen Xing hard.

Shen Xing was stunned, not knowing whether the old lady knew or didn't know.

"Grandma, why are you running around? You scared my mom to death." Shen Xing took over the old lady and raised his chin at Shen Taotao: "You go back, leave it to me."

"Then I'm leaving, Grandma. Send me a message when you get home."

The old lady waved her hand and got into the car with Brother Xingxing.

She opened her mouth, wanting to ask Brother Xingxing something, but thinking that she would see Sister Xiao Min in a while, she simply closed her mouth again.

On the other side, after Shen Ci hung up the phone, she called Sister Xiao Min back.

Sister Xiao Min was terrified: "Sister, Grandma came to the school."

"I know." Shen Ci said calmly: "Wait for me at the school gate in half an hour, and come home with me."

"Sister..." Sister Xiao Min's nervous heart was pounding. It seemed she realized what Sister A-Ci was going to do with her, and she couldn't help but be a little afraid: "Grandma will definitely be furious."

"I'm here, don't be afraid." Shen Ci comforted her: "And this matter will happen sooner or later. But the established fact that you are already in university cannot be changed. So whether it's Grandma, or your dad and mom, let them be angry or whatever. It doesn't really matter, because the reality is in front of them, and they can't change it."

Hearing this, Sister Xiao Min did gain some confidence, but she still felt a little apologetic: "Sister, if they find out, you, Aunt, and Little Aunt will all be blamed..."

Hearing this, Shen Ci couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't think about these things. If your Aunt and Little Aunt were really afraid of being blamed, they wouldn't have helped you in the first place. I care even less. Don't think about anything else, see you in a bit."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Ci turned around and was about to leave when she bumped into Li Li Jianguo head-on.

"Shen Ci!"

Li Li Jianguo stepped forward as if he had caught a wanted criminal, directly blocking Shen Ci's path: "What have you been doing lately? Why can't I see you?"

"Li Dao, do you have something to do with me?" Shen Ci shook the phone in her hand: "If you have something, you can send me a WeChat message. We are modern people, why does everything have to be said in person?"

Li Li Jianguo: "..."

Shen Ci took the initiative: "My attendance has been okay lately. Although I missed a few classes, overall it's still acceptable."

"Your requirements for yourself are getting lower and lower." Li Li Jianguo said helplessly.

"But my grades are number one!"

Li Li Jianguo: "..."

"I really have something to do right now, Li Dao. I'm leaving." Shen Ci looked at the time and made a move to leave.

Li Li Jianguo couldn't let her go easily. Having finally caught her, he stopped Shen Ci and asked urgently: "Wait a minute, how have you considered the matter I mentioned to you last time?"

"Last time?"

Li Li Jianguo nodded.

"What matter?"

Li Li Jianguo: "..."

Shen Ci had a look of sincere confusion. Li Li Jianguo knew she definitely didn't remember, so he glared angrily: "Tsk! You, how could you forget such an important thing? It's about the postgraduate recommendation!"

"Professor Yu Bo is waiting for a reply. He specifically named you!"

Only then did Shen Ci remember. Li Dao had indeed mentioned this to her before, and it was a direct master-doctoral program with Professor Yu Bo, which was incredibly tempting.

But Shen Ci had no interest at all: "Oh, that matter. Then you don't need to ask me how I've considered it, because I never considered it at all."

Li Li Jianguo was stunned. When he came to his senses, he was so anxious that his facial features were twisted together: "You have to consider it. How can you not consider it? What a good thing it is?"

Shen Ci smiled: "If you think it's good, then you go read it. I'm not going."

She was counting the days until graduation now. Once she got her university diploma, she would be completely liberated.

Before Li Li Jianguo could nag her again, Shen Ci quickly slipped away, but before leaving, she made her attitude clear: "Li Dao, I really have no intention of continuing to study for a master's degree. You can tell Professor Yu Bo. I'm really sorry to have let him down, let's give the opportunity to someone who needs it more."

After finishing, she slipped away, ignoring Li Li Jianguo calling her from behind.

Watching Shen Ci disappear around the corner of the stairs, Li Li Jianguo sighed deeply and muttered with incomparable regret: "What a good opportunity, why is she so stubborn!"

As soon as the old lady returned home, she was in a state of wanting to hold someone accountable.

Shen Shen Jingjing had received messages from Sister Xiao Min and Shen Taotao in advance and knew that the old lady probably already knew.

Looking at her sitting by the sofa, looking angry, Shen Shen Jingjing said softly: "Mom..."

As a result, as soon as Shen Shen Jingjing spoke, the old lady interrupted her preemptively: "You are really confused!"

Shen Shen Jingjing was stunned, and then she saw the old lady say angrily: "You say, what a big deal this is, how could you hide it? You hid it from me, from your eldest brother and sister-in-law. If I hadn't found out, when were you planning to hide it until? Ah?" ===== CHAPTER 1024 =====
