Chapter 103: 059: On-Site Horse Fall, Noble Person Lends a Hand_6

Loo Xiyue was applying nail polish while looking up at her daughter, "You’re not meeting a boyfriend, so why dress up so nicely?"

Shen Lijun was somewhat speechless, "Mom, some parents are scared their children will fall in love too early, yet here you are, actually hoping I would."

No one knew what was going through Loo Xiyue’s mind.

Fortunately, she had no interest in early romance.

Otherwise, she might even have a child by now.

After finishing her sentence, Shen Lijun continued, "Mom, do you realize I’ll be entering my final year of high school soon? It’s the most crucial time of my life! Aren’t you worried that dating will affect my university entrance exams?"

"If you don’t get in, you don’t get in," Loo Xiyue said nonchalantly, "Our family has plenty of money anyway."

Enough money for Shen Lijun to slack off for generations.

Loo Xiyue belonged to the open-minded kind of parents.

She didn’t like to restrain her child’s nature.

Shen Lijun: "..."

Having such a mother was really a cause for concern.

Momentarily, Shen Lijun changed into a white dress and came over, "Mom, how does this dress look on me?"

Loo Xiyue blew on her freshly painted nails and said casually, "Not as nice as the red one, why don’t you wear that red one?"

"I think the white one looks better."

Upon hearing this, Loo Xiyue rolled her eyes and said, "If you think the white one looks better, then why are you asking me?"

It was unnecessary.

Shen Lijun said with a smile, "Then I’ll wear this white one."

It wasn’t that Shen Lijun found the red dress unattractive.

It was because that red dress was from a famous luxury brand, worth a five-figure sum.

Lin Wu lived in an ordinary residential building on Wutong Road.

She feared that wearing a dress too luxurious would pressure Lin Wu.

She was even more concerned that Lin Wu would feel inferior.

Shen Lijun genuinely wanted to be friends with Lin Wu.

So she considered all aspects of the situation; she didn’t want Lin Wu to feel a gap between them.

Loo Xiyue then said, "Are you coming back for dinner tonight?"

"It depends," Shen Lijun replied.

Seeing that it was almost time to meet Lin Wu, Shen Lijun took off the necklace around her neck and placed it on the table, "Mom, I’m leaving now."

Loo Xiyue frowned slightly, "Why take off such a pretty necklace?"

"I don’t think it’s nice."

The necklace was even more expensive than the dress.

She decided not to wear it.

With that, Shen Lijun turned and left.

Watching her daughter’s retreating back, Shen Lijun frowned slightly, "This child!"

Shen Lijun arrived at Peaceful Garden on Wutong Road.

Peaceful Garden, a resettlement housing complex, had no access card system, and outside the gate sat several elderly people chatting.

There weren’t many people living in Peaceful Garden.

So everyone in the neighborhood knew each other.

Seeing Shen Lijun carrying fruits inside, Grandma Zhou curiously asked, "Young lady, did you just move in?"

Shen Lijun politely replied, "I’m here to visit a friend."

To visit a friend?

Just as these words fell, Lin Wu came out, "Lijun, over here."

When Grandma Zhou saw Lin Wu, she smiled, "Oh, you’re here to see Xiao Wu."

"Grandma Zhou," Lin Wu walked over to Shen Lijun, introducing her to the elderly, "Grandma Zhou, Grandpa Li, Aunt Wang, this is my friend Shen Lijun, she’s come to visit me."

Shen Lijun also greeted the elderly politely.

Grandpa Li said with a chuckle, "Xiao Wu, when you have time, bring your friend over to our house for a meal."

"Okay," Lin Wu nodded slightly.

Grandma Zhou added, "And to my house too."

Aunt Wang didn’t want to be left out, "And my house as well."

Ever since the new student examination, Lin Wu had become the most popular person on campus and an example for everyone to educate their children by.

After all, Lin Wu was beautiful and did well in her studies.

But most importantly, she was polite and not the least bit arrogant.

Lin Wu acknowledged each invitation, continuing, "Grandpa Li, Grandma Zhou, Aunt Wang, I’ll take my friend home first."

"Alright, go on then."

Lin Wu led Shen Lijun into the complex.

Shen Lijun followed Lin Wu’s pace, saying as they walked, "Xiao Wu, your neighborhood is so warm and inviting."

Shen Lijun was born into wealth and had never experienced such atmosphere.

The recent encounter felt like something out of a period TV drama.

Lin Wu said with a smile, "Isn’t it the same where you live?"

Shen Lijun shook her head.

The Shen Family lived in a detached villa. In her long time in Qing City, she hadn’t even seen what her next-door neighbors looked like.

As they talked, the two had arrived inside the apartment building.

Lin Wu mentioned, "Our complex is old, without an elevator, but my place is on the third floor. We might have to walk up."

"No problem," Shen Lijun said with a smile, "I can handle it."

Lin Wu’s eyes fell on the fruits Shen Lijun was carrying, "Let me take that for you."
