Chapter 1400: Chapter 1400: Xibao Goes to School 8

As soon as Lu Tianjun heard it, he immediately adjusted his attitude and asked what it was about.

Guan Cheng’s face turned slightly red; he was somewhat handsomer than Lu Tianjun, and his skin was a bit fairer, although it was often exposed to the sun and wind. But Lu Tianjun still noticed the blush.

"Eh!" Lu Tianjun’s eyes widened in sudden revelation, "Could it be related to you going to the Capital to find a job?"

In fact, what he wanted to ask was whether it was about something to do with a lifelong commitment, because before going home, he and Jiang Xiaoyue had met Feng Qingyun.

Having met Feng Qingyun, how could he not know about Zhong Wenxiu’s situation?

After returning home, since Guan Cheng didn’t mention it, Lu Tianjun and Jiang Xiaoyue had been holding back, waiting to see when Guan Cheng would bring it up; they had not expected him to be unable to resist speaking up so soon, turning to Jiang Xiaoyue for help.

Why Jiang Xiaoyue? Jiang Xiaoyue used to be a literary soldier in the arts troupe and still kept in touch with the arts troupe frequently.

Anyway, Lu Tianjun was very clear that the person his cousin wanted to ask for a favor was certainly not himself.

If it had not been for Lu Tianjun and Jiang Xiaoyue coming back, Guan Cheng would have set off for the Capital long ago. He gave Lu Tianjun a refined and gentle smile, "That’s right, just tell me if you will help or not. It’s very simple, just one sentence."

"Help, of course I’ll help, as long as I’m able to, it’s my bounden duty!" Lu Tianjun repeated Guan Cheng’s previous words with a beaming smile.

"That’s great! You truly are a good brother, thanks!" Guan Cheng pondered for a moment, then continued, "I don’t need your help with the job; Uncle Zheng Jinrui has already arranged everything for me, I just need to find him when I get to the Capital. The favor I want to ask of you is to trouble Comrade Xiaoyue to look after someone for me, to make sure she isn’t bullied by those with power and influence."

"Who? That you even have to involve Xiaoyue." Lu Tianjun continued to pretend he did not know Zhong Wenxiu.

Guan Cheng coughed twice, "It’s the granddaughter of Teacher, Comrade Zhong Wenxiu of the arts troupe. She’s on good terms with my aunt, and despite her young age, she has left her home behind. When you take care of my aunt, please also look out for her."

Lu Tianjun drew out his response with an elongated "Oh," "Granddaughter of Grandpa Jin, right, right, right!"

It surprised him that Guan Cheng, who always held his head high, had fallen head over heels for Zhong Wenxiu.

At this time, Aunt Xu came looking for them.

"Acheng, I finally remember who Zhong Wenxiu is." These were her first words upon seeing her grandnephew.

Guan Cheng was startled, "Grandma, what are you talking about? You know Comrade Wenxiu?"

He liked Zhong Wenxiu, and it was to pursue her that he decided to find a job in the Capital. He had naturally not kept this a secret from the family elders – Lu Tianjun’s father and Aunt Xu and Uncle Xu. He had never mentioned this to Jin Ruochu, as he didn’t want to exploit his apprenticeship with Jin Ruochu or have him speak well of him in front of Zhong Wenxiu out of favor.

When he had first mentioned Zhong Wenxiu’s family situation to Aunt Xu and Uncle Xu, he noticed that they had seemed a bit distracted, initially thinking it was due to his own love at first sight for Zhong Wenxiu, but now he realized from Aunt Xu’s words that there might be more to the story.

Aunt Xu got straight to the point, "I remember you said that Zhong Wenxiu was a capitalist Miss, well, a former capitalist whose grandparents defected abroad and whose father disappeared, am I right?"

"That’s right, her mother had a hard time and ended up remarrying a doctor."

"I remember now, Wenxiu’s grandfather was a good friend of your great-uncle and me. His name was Zhong Shi, but his son and daughter had made it clear they wanted nothing to do with them a long time ago, so I didn’t immediately make the connection." Aunt Xu paused, "I knew that Old Zhong’s daughter-in-law had the surname Jin and was called Dingxiang; I just didn’t realize she was Jin Ruochu, Brother Jin’s daughter."

...My stomach still hurts, unable to describe the pain. Not sure if I owe six or eight Chapters, but I’ll stop counting. I’ll make it up after recovery. End of the month votes, asking for monthly tickets.
